And the wheat crop along this route is a sight to glad. den the eyes of tho farmer or any other man with a family of consumers, Ina detour of somo three thou- sand miles, more or less, throngh Pennsylvania, Mary- land, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Northern Ala- baa, Georgia, South and North Carolina aud Vir- ginla, we have secon nothing that begins to approach ths = ripenms wheat crop of the Shenandosh Elsewhere, what are aceepted as splendid wheatfelds are mere child’s play compared with the truly glorious fieids of the Shenandoah valicy. For one hundred and thirty mites, with some between New- town und Winchester, these wheat fields, on the right and left, before us wad behind us, close by and miics and miles away, in the plains and the valleys, along the hills and spreading over the hilltops, are constantly in sight, in hundreds or thousands of acres, And as the gentle winds pass over these ous fielis of grain, they roll and saine 1 tne sun like the silvery waves of asummer sea, This wheat stands as bigh as the eighi- rowed Indian corn when full grown in Northera New York, and it is set eo thickly in the soil that one would think a strawhat might be carried by the wind on the heads of the grain, as on the swell of a wave, across & hundred acre field. These valley farmers are of course enraptured over the prospect of an unprecedented har- vest; but stall they qualily their calculations with such remarks as ‘‘Well, if the rust does not come,” “If the hail does not beat it down,” or no new wheat-rating iusects get into it we shall have a great crop.” “Lhat fleld,’* one would say, “ought to give thirty bushels to the acre,” and avother would “think there will be a foe emensive average in my county of twenty-five ushels to the acre.’ And how has all this been done? General Sheridan devastated this valley in the fall of 1864, in the destruc \ion of its milis, and in the sweeping away of its stock. By this military stroke to starve out the rebel army, two thouennd barns were destroyed, and flouring mills by the score, in Shevandoah and Rockit counties, And then, apart from this particular ex it of dovasia- tion, the soldiers of both armies (though the natives al- ways charge their damages to the Yankees) had for three years been consuming the fences of this valley in cooking their rations. But milis by the dozen, and two thousand of the valley barns di ea, have ‘been ro placed; hundreds of miles of fe1 ave been restored, seven, eight and ten raiis high, and only at rare intor- vais in this valley, above Newtown, do seo @ field without its fencing as left by the war, Between Newtown and Winchester, where the main boay of the Union Army of the Vailey had its winter quarters tn 1564, not only the wooden fences but the stone walls aiong the road for milos were removed, and the wvods were cicared away for military uses. This neighborhood, therefore, resombles to some extent that desolated expanse of country between Boll Run and Culpepper Court House, which. in its fenceless and defencoiess conitition, to-day has the look of a forsaken prairie. But how, to the wonderful extent we have indicated, have these damages of the war in the Shenandoah Valley been repaired? In 1865 these people, without stock or grain, or fences to ther fields, were on the verge of starvation, and were for some months greatly dependent on Northera sup- ies, In 1867 they are sending reitef to Georgian. How 6 this change been brought avout ? In this way. Tho farms of the valley are mostly small, and the owner and his sons (or other white men) are generally the laborers, They were ou the ground, and went at once to work. Their fields wiihout fences, meantime, with their imdigenous grees, supported the horses and cattle t rmers manaxed to save or to buy; and thos these matural grass iuds of the valiey were the basis of its speedy restoration to abundant crops of wheat apd corn “Our grass,” says the valiey farmer, “ ported us im supporting our stock til we had replaced our fences aud raised a good crop of cora. Now,"’ they say, ‘with the promise of the crops of wheat, rye, oat and corn, potatoes and other vegetables, and with our numerous orchards spared by the war, loaded down with fruit, we expect to take a new siart in the world this fall on the bigh road to prosperity. We are not troubied ‘with Many Degroes. Most of what we had up the valley before the war may now be found in Washington. Our labor, therefore, mainly of white men directly interested ia the soil, is retiable, and does its work efficientiy,"” At Winchester we found the registration going on, and, as at other places, the blacks, & decided minority of og were far in_register- ing. The radi Tegistration business, hay remarkably indifferent about it since they have been given to understand that Attorney General Stanbery’s opinions are to be upset by a July session of Congress, The oath required for registration, too, in requiring them to swear or affirm that they are ‘‘not disfrapchised for participation in rebellion or civil ‘war against the United States,’’ that ti “have ‘ever taken an oath to support the constitution,” &c., “and afterwards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against Une United States,” ia exceedingly distasteful to them, ar i: involves the recognition of the war as @ rebellion on the part of the Sonth, while they held that it was war on the basis of their reserved constitu. tional State rights. They that agree the war has estab- liehed the nt sovereignty of the United States, but they stil! hold that theirs was a constitutional fight, and not a rebellion of insurrection, For all these rea- ‘sous the registration of the state ts going by default, and the hesitatiag Whites are awaiting distrustfully and in fear the iitting of the curtain in Congress, 3 Progress of Registration=Very Important ww the Alexandria use in Pros to Mix with The Drinker Farm Murder Case. Ricawoyn, Va., June 20, 1967. The radicals are determined to make a desperate straggle to secure the control of this city, and in fact of the entire state, On Monday and Tuesday last the pro- coms of registration was gone through, festiting each day numerically in favor of the whites, The managers of the colored party had been slightly under the delusion that the generally expressed indifference to registration on the part of the whites would give the blacks an easy time rolling up @ majority, In this, however, their cal- culation wag at fault, but their resources were adequate to meet the exigencies of the case, A meeting was called, fow words of stimulating counsel administered to the ebony electors, and yesterday, with traly re markable ease and facility, the biacks recorded one Lundred and two names more than the whites To-day the Iatter made « slight exertion to keep pace with their jeolored meighbors, but fell short by thirty-three Ramee.

The ‘enee in: fed the provocution of these men was but a trick of the radicalz to deter tho white people of Virginia—nine tenths of whom were disfranchised by the Alexandria cowaitatiou—from the duty of registering by the cry of perjury. The United States Commissioner could send om this case to the Circuit Court, which meets again in July, and by thas gaining time and inspiring fear among tho whites as te the uences of registering, secure for the radicals an overwhelming derance of votes. The District Attorney explained lueidiy how the question s.00d—the Alexandria constitution was the prevailing law of the State; the distranehising clause was as legal as any other clause in the instrument; but he was unprepared to say whether, under the new order of things, the Attorney General might not instruct bm to disrogard that clause as null and void, though up to this Mr. Stanbery has avoided taking hold of this per- plexing question. He should certainly instruct that the prisoners be discharged the moment the Attorney Gen- erul gave a negative opinion as to the binding power of the disouted clause. It is the prevalent impression that the radicals will make the utmost use of this *cousti- tution’? scarecrow, and deter thousands of sensitive Virginians from the thoognt of registration, The case was adjourned till to-morrow. At a meeting*of the colored people, held last evening ‘on Navy Hill, near tho city, it was resolved tofend s commitice to-dsy to wait on General Schofield and de- mand the adolition of separate entrances for white snd blacks at the registration offices.

Murder Case—Kvidence i all Taken—Vefence nm Acquittal—Points ef the Ricuxonp, Va, June 21, 1867, The Drinker farm murder case was under examina- on again to-day, The witnesses fer the prosecution were ali examined, and the defence will begin to-mor- Tow to put forth testimony which they expect will de- mohsh the case for tbe prosecution. The pomts of evidence adduced on behalf of the pro- secution are briefly theso:—Puiilips took bis wife from her mother’ shome to a place in Surrey county, 15th of February last. She never wrote a line home after that date, A body was found in the woods at Drinker’s farm the latter end of toc same month, It was never truly identified—the clothes and: some articles of jewelry were retained, The sister of Philips’ wite described minutely the clothes and orna- ments worn by her Mgr ciges left home, the bn corresponding exactly with tbe actual things preserv: ‘This ieft no doubi but the murdered woman was Phillips’ wife, The next part of the evidence endeay- ored to show the prisoner's connection with the tragic decd. He was at the house of a Mr. Turner, near Diinker’s farm, when ine body was found, and ab- sented himself from there for two days afterwards; his strange conduct in writing letiers to bis wife’s rela- tives, and pretending she was with him, bat unable to write by reason of a sore finger, when the woman was mouldering in the earth. No direct evidence was,ad- vanced to prove that he was the actual murderer, A hundred things are surmised to suow a motive for the Perpeiration of the deed, but the only theory with any degree of truth in itis that Phillips was deeply in love witha Miss Tarver, He was stopping at her father’s house before the murder, and the supposition is that whea hts wife came to visit him he felt deeply ehagrined at her presence, aud the jatal denouement followed. She case will be continued probably the whole of next week, "THE EXOISE LAW.
