VOICES OF THE DAY. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. &c.. &c., &c. From the Ola Dominion* Round the Streets of Norfolk—The Political Outlook—“That Strong man Ilnghes”— Minor Points. [from our special correspondent. ] To the Editors of the Herald: Norfolk, Va., July 27, 1873. My Richmond letter, giving you a brief sy napsis of the situation, and what general in- ‘-ftrrmUi&u I was able to gather under such unfavorable circumstances as those by which a traveler on railroads is surrounded, has doubtless been given to your readers before this, and they are either eagerly expecting, they will have harvest Trade _ _ and everything is putting on a more lively’aspect Yesterday a skirmish bad like to have taken place in onr city between two of our estima ble citizens and a revenue officer. The cause 1 did not enquire into. Two prisoners who had been arrested above this by the rev enue officer escaped before or after the diffi culty, and I suppose ere this are haunting the hillsides of their nativity, basking in the sunshine and talking over th6ir narrow es capes, etc. Peace and a fair prospect of plenty are boons that our people are enjoying now to the fullest extent. If the prospect continues as good for a month as it is now for bountiful harvests, many of onr fair mountain lasses will be led to the by menial alter; and “twis- tification” and the “mountain brake down" will be indulged in to an extent that hasn’t been seen in this section since the tocsin of war was sounded in 1861. The press, fixtures, etc., for a new paper at Gainesville arrived here to-day. What it is to be called I have not yet learned. I under stand Colonel J. 8. Peterson is to be the editor, and that we are to see it more than once a week. Tne machinery for the car factory at Gainesville has arrived, and the thing will soon be in full blast. More hereafter. X. Enophex. or prayerlully dreading* my promised com munication from this city. Norfolk has improved wonderfully since your correspondent left it two years ago. It presents a most thriving appearance, and is remarkably blessed in the health cf its peo ple. Nothing like epidemic has appeared here for a number of years, and very little sickness of any kind prevails. There is an impression among people in Southwestern Virginia, as well as in other sections of the country, that Norfolk and the surrounding coantry is subject to chills and fevers, and that for a person to come here from the moun tains to live, 16 equal to bargaining for such a sickness. I.et me do away with this impres sion. Whist the country round Noifolk is lavorable to chills, uud they no doubt prevail in a greater or less degree throughout this section, the city is, and has always been, exempt frail them. Norfolk has been struggling for a number of years to get a good supply of water, and is just now about succeeding. Pipes are laid thoroughmt the city; machinery and every thing is Eady to furnish water in abundance at a very i arly day. The fir# fieod wnich passed over Baltimore, and mad# his presence felt to such a distress ing exteit, seems to have brushed Norfolk with the TT OF HIS DESTROYING WING. On the light after the Baltimore fire nearly a whole bbek was destroyed in the most val uable busiiess portion ol onr city, involving a loss of alxut $^0,000; and on the following morning nnotL* fire broke out a square or two distant from the first, causing heavy loss. Again, last night two more conflagra tions occurred, some distance from each oth er, showing clearly that an incendiary is at wori in our midst. The fires yesterday and last night were kept within bounds and easily suidnul, with the assistance of the Ports mouth tire department. The loss occa- fcioDed by these disasters is only partial ly covered by insurance. Two Southern ton.pauies are interested. The Home Co. of polambus, Ga., looses a smali amount, and lie Great Western, of New Orleans, of which tcceral Beauregard is secretly, is also in- i rested slightly. Another fire is expected -night, and every preparation is btir.g made UN«. A WARM Politics are assuming a more interesting -ect every day, and Mr. Goode’s chances * to all appearances on the increase rapidly, Dugh I heard it said to-day that it is pretty understood that neither Withers, de nor Kemper, will get the nomination: it some man will he selected whose name i not yet appeared in connection with the bvernorsbip. I Lear it also intimated that [Gen. Wm. Mahcne’s views are'not consulted r the Conservative Convention, he will give i influence to the Radical party in the com- ilg election. This is hard to believe, though here is no telling what men will do these its. (Jen. Mahone's commands a corps of tilrend men, and they are wonderfully subor- inate. He works them like dogs, and pays hem the meanest salaries. Poor wretches ire obliged to live, and he- knows it. There are men in his employ acting as de pot agent, express agent, and telegraph ope rator. with plenty to do in each department, who receive the aum of 331 dollars pir month, ZdTyTo do“s7 rd has to be paid. * , t : in wilh tha ..Special” and in Rock Spring. First Annual Celebration of the Fulton Sun day School Association at Rock Spring. To the Editors of The Herald : I had the pleasure of attending the above celebration at Rock Spring, five miles north of the city, on yesterday, and it being such a pleasant affair I thought I wonld take a few dots for your very excellent paper. The attendance was large, there being six Sunday schools represented. In the absence of Mr. L. B. Davis, the President of the As sociation, Mr. B. F. Walker, onr popular county surveyor, opened the exercises in a few well-timed remarks, and conducted the ceremonies throughout with much satisfaction. Miss MaryfSmitb, of Rock Spring School, *d< - lirored the welcoming address, and for one so yonng acquitted herself handsomely. Several addresses were made and where all did so well I dislike to personate, but that of Mr. Tommie Jeffries deserves speciol mention. His remarks were well selected for the occa sion. He possesses some attributes of ora tory most remarkable in one so young. His manner was easy, delivery fine and jestnres perfeot. The singing, under the management of Mr. J. R. Haskins, Secretary of the Asso ciation and Superintendent of the Rock Spring school (who, by the way, is said to be the school superintendent iu the State) best Sunday was charming, causing the for est to* resonate with the sweetest of melo dies. The Valedictory, by Miss Sophronia Donaldson, was simply splendid. Alter which the presentation of a handsome Bible to Pace's school, by the association, tor the largest attendance during the year, closed the exercises. Much interest was manifested throughout the proceedings. The people are thoroughly enthused, and by the co-operation of the schools are doing much for the good of socie ty in the northern portion ol our county. Every one present seemed to be in their hap piest mood, and the whole day was spent most pleasurably. Rv the way, Peachtree can boast of some as pretty girls as men ever looked on, and I am inclined to believe that if I had left my “ rib” at home, I should have played “single. ’ The dinner was superb. Some mystic breeze wafted the oderous fumes of fried chicken to the nostrils of onr aldermanic friend McMillan, from the “7th,” for he was there, and “Bill Moore” can testify to his fondness of the good things of life. Among others present from the city we noticed the phiz of Bob Winship, Ben Crew, and Dr. John Collier. All agreed that the first annual celebration of Fulton Sunday School Association was a grand success. The indefatigable Matt Stewart was on hand with a full supply of refreshments. The crops tbronghont the section were represented as fine. Visitor. From West Point. Mr. Shutz [ou the Grape Culture-Some In teresting Facts and Figures. * West Point, J uly 30, 1873.

A change of political principles iu a man who thus grinds his employees, could not materi ally depreciate him ii the estimation of good people. I am somewhat surprised to find that the PRESENT GOVERNOR OP VIRGINIA, (WALKEIi), does not eDjoy the popularity once accorded him by bis constituents. There is no per ceptible reason tor this as be has with re markable consistency performed the duties of his office, and given every show of devotion to the interest of the State. Truly may it be said that popularity, like the wind, bloweth whither it listeth and no man can tell whence it comes or whither it goes. As soou as ward meetings are held throughout the State and delegates appointed, we can pre dict the probable nominee of the conserva tive party, until then it is the merest guess work, and even then I am not sure but it will be rash to prophesy. I believe Hughes is still in the ascendancy as the probable nominee of the Radical Con vention which meets in Lynchburg about the 30th, and it is perfectly certain to all well in formed politicians that he is much the strong est man that they can advance. He is a man of acknowledged ability, and of progressive ideas, bot a renegade Virginian,having several years ago identified himself with her enemies, and engaged in their work against the white man’s party. Two years ago he was accused cf selling his pen to the Radical journal ol Richmond, Virginia, which accosation be re- | sen ted by a challenge to Col. Cameron, then on his next trip with the “Special,” and in case Mr. Giant should change the schedule ot the night-train and thereby discontinue the •Special,” he requested me to send some spe cimens of fruit end grapes to your office. Accompanying this I send you specimens of grapes and plums which you will piease ac cept. Enclosed, also, find lists of grapes and plums with a few remarks as to their respec tive qualities. X have twenty varieties of grapes besides the Hcnppeiuong, Thomas & Clowers, and all are doing well witu me with only one or two exceptions. I have about 100 bearing vines this year, and will be able to gather 4.000 pounds of grapes. If it were not for the cholera excitement I could readily sell my grapes at K ood prices, realizing probably $400 and over it, and the ground occupied by these vines would not realize me exceeding twenty- five to thirty dollars if cultivated in cotton. I am shipping now; ar-d what I cannot sell I will make into wine, and the refuse of bulb and stems into vinegar. I was oorn and raised in Germany arooug the vineclad hills and valleys of the lovely Rhine, and while there the grape is brought to perfection—having its advantage mostly in its salubrous climate—at the same time my experience here is, that, as to quantity, lusciousness and specially for table use, the soil and climate of Georgia stands not behind that of the Rhine. A moderate expense, proper care and culti vation of the grape here, will pay well; and if every farmer would put from five to twenty- five acres out in grape vines, it wonl pay him well in a few years; and intemperance and whisky rings wonld receive their death blow j WILLIAM M.
