Every thing apparently quiet, and we, in the absence of bad
news, are surrounded by a most peaceful and pleasant atmosphere. Our
communication with the outer world cut off by the freshet in the Shenandoah, so
that we had no mail yesterday. Mr.____ has gone to Richmond on business. He
wrote from Culpeper Court House, at which place he stopped to see J., a most
pleasing account of the hospitals, and the care taken of the sick.
