New England and Virginia.

A large number of New England and New York
farmers have, within a few years gone into Virginia,

dence placed in the bosom of the earth. The success
OF this enterprise has been beyond all expectation

OF the husbandman, and not a drop falls from his brow,
That does not promote the fertility of the soil. A cor
respondent of the Alexandra Gazette, who is a close
observer ofthis inroad upon the manners and customs
Of the Virginians, has written a series of admirable pa
Pers upon the Improvements made, and recommends
that VTglnians shall adopt the mode of life, and en-
courage the means of labor, which prove to be so emf.
nently successful to their new n~eighbors. He thus
concludes one of his essays:
"Of late years we have had frequent appeals to the
people OF Virginia to initiate the citizens of the North
ern States In the improvement of our natural resources
by the construction of our railroads and canals, the es
adjustment of manufactures, and improvement of our
agriculture, and the extension of our commerce But
are we prepared to adopt the means essential to sue
cess! Are we willing to bring up our children to
wait upon themselves? Can we substitute hired help
for seryile dependents? Will we promote the mechan-
&c arts by encouraging our sons to learn them? And
shall we be able o'discard those p~rejudices by which
honest labor has been depressed, and false notions Of
gentlllty engendered amongst us"
