ELIxER OF CALISAYA BARK.

7NHIS preparation is particularly recommended to
Il persons of weak habit, and to such as reside in
low situations, where the nervous system is in gen.
era more or less relaxed. The addition of certain in
gradients has so completely disguised the taste Of
the bark, to render this efcacious remedy most
paatable cordia thus peculiarly adapting it to con-
quer that repugnance which most persons expert
ence after taking for time bitter potions as il
combines the greatest efficacy with highly agree
able flavor. As preventive Of the ague it has
superseded the use Of all other remedies in such

@The only protection farmers want
is fair prices for the products of their
soil. When they are oppressed, me-
chanics and laborers are also affected.
We are glad to know that every kind
Of produce commands good price at
this time; and particularly corn, which
is selling very rerdiIy at fifty cents per
bushe,. Potatoes and oats also bring
their full value. These results cannot
be attributed to the operations of any
system of tariffs, but to the foreign de-
mand and the partial failure of the
crop of corn and oats.

Crops IN Europe.-By recent arri-
walls from Europe, the fears heretofore
expressed, that the wheat crop of Eng
land would fall short of an average one,
have been realised. 1t is thought that
at least third of the total crop ofthe
United Kingdom of Great Britain has
been destroyed by the mcessant rains
during harvest. And that which has
been secured is said to be SO much da-
mayed as to lose about i:hree pounds in
weight. In Holland and Belgium the
crops have also fallen short. When
spectators in bread stuffs' shall be-
gin to put on the screws the condi-
ton of the thousands of scantily-fed
poor will be pitiable indeed.

branches of the Legislature. We re-

Native american party in the city and

STATE CONVENTION AND EDueA-
TIoN.-As we limited few weeks ago,
these two great subjects are eliciting
discussion in every section ofthe State;
and strange as it may appear, there
are to be found among our sensible and
talented men, some whose minds are so
engrossed with the subject ola Conven-
ton to amend the Constitution of the
State, that they refuse, or abstain alto
gether from taking any part in the great
movement to educate the thousands Of
unlettered children in our midst. That
there should be difference in opinion
between our citizens living east of the
Blue Ridge and those living west : that
the former should resist the call of
Convention, for reasons which to them
may scenic be right is not surprising
at all, since they have interests at stake
which the alterations proposed to the
Constitution viii materially affect =
but that there should be man in Vir-
ginia who would refuse to aid in con-
summating The patriotic designs Of the
friends Of education, greatly surprises
Us, because il is subject in which all
are equally interested, and upon which
all should agree. We cannotse that

vorably affected, ip-the remoiest de-
gree, by the education movement, how.

I N=A Convention assembled in Har-
risonburg, on Monday last, to consider
and discuss the subject of extending
the louisa Rail- Road to some point
in Western Virginia. Harrisonburg
is spoken of as proper point. If we
are to have that road extended oyer
the mountains, or through the noun
tains, to the Valley, it matters not to
us where its terminus may be-Harri-
sonburg will suit US as we'll as any 9TH
er, place. We do not believe the ex-
tension Will ever take place-at least
at any point nearer Winchester than
Stanton, OR some place southwest Of
that. We look upon the proposition
as impractieable and unwise, not to say
suicidal. Railroads may be eonstruc-
ted in popnlous commrnities, where
large towns or cities fall in their routes;
but no advantage to the State will re-
~aft, except to the city Of Richmond,
from the extension Of the Louisa road
to the valley, SO as to intersect the
Valley Turnpike at any point. Every
rejecting mind must see, that the great
object which the advocates of this, wild
scheme have in view, is none other,
than to divert the trade which now pas
ses down the valley, over our excellent
Turnpike, from their Northern desti-
nation to the city of Richmond. The
result, therefore, Of the extension of
that road, to the point proposed, would
be death to the prospects of the Valley
Turnpike, death to the Winchester
and Potomac Rail- Road, and most dis
astrous to the farming interests Of the
valley. We are in favor of extending
the Valley Turnpike farther south west,
and the construction of roads from the
west,to intersectit, such as will dispense
their blessings to all, like the dews of
Heaven, and not serve merely to ag
grandise few, at the expense of the
many. r0u51 .s.a1 sal .... a.
