General Wodi- luytoo, who, an the boy surveyor OF the lands of the Shenandoah, was well acquainted with ibis charming spetion of country, in a letter to Sir John Sin clair, tniu, writes as follows : “The western part of Virginia, more especially almve the Blua Mountains, In -my opinion will bo considered, If not considered so already, as the gar den of Am*Ti"a ; forasmuch ns H lit l s between tho two extremes of heat and cold, partaking in a degree of tho ad vantages of both, without feeling ranch tho Inconveniences of cither, aud with truth It mujTbe said, i^ among the most fertile lauds iu America East of tho Apuliiciilan Montsins. * * * * The lauds in what is called ‘the Val ley,’ that is, lying between Mountain and the Blue Mountain, arc the richest lands wo have.” - SusequeLt history has proven that his opinion was well founded. The general surface of th© country around Stanton is that of a rolling plain va ried by etream-valieys uud rounded bills and low ridgrs, but every where open and thus commanding wide sketches of beautifully picturwqme valley landscapes bounded by distant mountain chains, bold In relief nnd chanuiug lu outline and color.

Wheat is com manding an excellent price, eclling rapidly for $1.20 to $130 per bushel. We have had three heavy frosts here, and vegetation " looks seared and blighted.
