LETTER FROM FAUQUIER COUNTY.[Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.]The Gazette is now received regularly by

many old friends, and will have many new ones.Everybody is pleased with it, and with hearingthat your office, at the old place, is to be rebuilt.Money is yet scarce, but our people will cometo your help, pay you what they owe you, assoon as they are able, and cheer you on yourway.

I'ou have had an account of the meetingheld last court day. Some of the scenes were,to a bystander, strange enough. There was apositive proof presented how "circumstancesalter cases." The "mixtry" of Whigs, Demo¬crats (Buchanan,) Democrats (Douglas,) &e.,&c., and the praises bestowed upon PresidentJohnson, showed what a fusion of politicalparties the war has brought about. I approveall that was done by the meeting, but still, Irepeat, it was curious.Warrenton is beginning to look up.^e hope

for better days, and after one or two crops, Ithink Fauquier will be able to "staud alone."The railroad to this place is doing a better

business in the way of passengers than it everdid before. I would suggest to the conductorsthat they should not allow one person to occupyan entire division of the seats, causing some¬times the old and infirm to stand up, or supportthemselves as best they can.Mr. D. M. Pattie is fitting up and thoroughly

reparing the Warrenton House, (so long andfavorably known to the public) which he hasbought, and which will soon be open for thepublic accommodation.

It is gratifying to see our schools are beingopened.Dr. Bacon's Female Seminary, theschools of" Miss St. Clair, Miss Fannie Beck¬ham, Miss Asquith, a jd Mrs. Miller, arid aUothat of our worthy young friend, Jas. Pu Marr,the brother of Captain John Q. Marr, who fellin the beginning of the war at Fairfax, Va. Iwould also mention the school of our old friendW. W. Williamson. Old Tdies.

Republican, ot the 15th inst., that such a con¬flict has arisen between Governor Sharkey,the military authorities, and Secretary Seward,as to give reason to believe the Governorintends sending in his resignation.
