The present deficiency in our CROP and tho antici-
pated deficiency in our grain and potato crops ought
certainly to put the farmer to thinking how he may
best prevent such deficiencies in future years. All
practical and scientific farmers know full well that
plenty of manure in agricultural pursuits, produces
the same beneficial results, plenty of money in
mercantile business, and that without the application
of some ferlzing ingredients to our FARMS, we are,
every year, making them poorer, instead of ncreas-
ing the fertility of our fields, or the quality of our
crops ltarea ~4as5l-a9 tt-a-t ri -d1z-sEf

ADJOURNMENT OF THE VA. LEGISLATURE.

This Body closed a brilliant Session, in some re.
sPects, on the 18th, and will reassemble on the 2Slh
of May, for completing the revision Of the Civil
Code. We say brilliant session, CONSIDERABLY.
No one can contemplate the impulse given TO in
erna improvement by the action of the last General
Assembly, without having his own countenance
frightened up, while this happy star of Virginia
destiny sheds an honored light upon the Session of
1889. To the interchangeable efforts of our Sena-
tor and Delegates in the good work, Augusta owes
debt which che knows how to pay and which she
can and will pay. TO others, both East and West
of the Mountains, who aided the advancement of
our interest, the thanks of the community are DUE
The restoration of good feeling alone, between the
sections, may not be estimated in dollars and cents
That hard feelings had existed cannot be concealed
Our mountains had not been barrier, in the hour
of peril to our Eastern brethren nor the noxious
vapors Of their swamps, nor the embattled host
terror, 10 our hardy ard expert rHemen. They are
barriers TO trade They were scaled for your bene-
tit; level tunnel them for ours nd yours Jointly
Such was the argument-such the sentiment. But

AFFAIRS IN CANADA.

Serious troubles anticipated in Canada. The
Baltimore American referring to the matter says
1.-The loyasis, those who sustained the govern
meni In So when the rebellion broke out, are the
chief agiiators in this excitement. They protest a.
ganst bill which proposes to pay for property Of reb
els destroyed during the prevalence ola civil war pro
voked by the very men who now ask for indemnity
This appears to be the main cause Of the disturbance
No doubt the prejudices OF race have also great
Zeal 10 do with it.
at may seem strange that the loyas,s OF Cana
da, who have sigDazed SO repeatedly and 50 point
eddy their attachment TO the mother country should
now hint Significantly and strongly at the possibil
iy of annexation to the American Union. But the
fact is So"
The spirit which pervades the country may be
learned from the following extract from the Montrc-
al Courier:-"Let the Parliament pass the BILL Let
the Governor sanciioni fine peases, but while there
is axe and rife on the frontier, and Saxon hands to
WELD them, these Losses will not be paid"
With Gen. Taylor at the head of affairs in the
United States we feel safe. Had his opponent,
Gen. CAss, been elected, we would undoubtedly be.
come involved in difficulties with England and a
war would probably be The fesulf The Cabinet,
1t is said, will take prompt measures to prevent the
interference Of our citizens; and Gen. WOOL fine
cessaryj will be detached TO the Northern frontier

THE EXTRACTS FROM THE ARCHIVES.

Last week we published several interesting pa
pcrs relating to a meeting Of the Freeholders Of Au
gus,a, IN l775, taken from the public Archives at
RichmJrd and communicated by our late Delegate,
Maj:J. NJ. MoCuE. Public attention throughout
the country his recently been directed 10 the ia
nous Mecklsnbsfg Declaration Of Independence of
May 20lh, TITS. Tile Augusta meeting was three
months prior in poiEt Of time, and the proceedings
indicate an equal degree Of patriotic Enthusiasm
The fact is, the people Of MeeklenbGrg and of Au-
gusta belonged to the same noble race and possess
cd the same love Of liberty, civil and religious
They had fled from oppression in The Old World
and were resolved not TO surrender the freedom they
had found in the wilds of North Carolina and Vir-
ginia. They were indeed noble race and AIner-
ca has never acknowledged. or even known, the
extent Of her Indebtedness to them. New Eng
landeys may boast of the Pilgrim Fahers-they
may make speeches, and sing songs, and eat din
ners in honor Of their memory, and our lowland
brethren may talk about the Cavaliers of Virginia
but homely as the phrase is, we are sufficiently
proud Of our stern, incorrupbe, indomiable Scotcl.
irish ancestors.
In TO- days paper we publish documents, furnish
ed by the same gentleman, relating to the battle of
Point Pleasant. The circumstance that the great
er part of the whites engaged in this battle were
from Augusta, tenders every thing relating to it in
teresting To us. Seventy live years ago next At
gust, sx-kundred brave and hardy men shouldered
their rifles and left their homes in this county, ma
ny of them not TO return. They traversed track
less wilderness, and on the 10Th day of OctUber en-
counercd the savage foe. The battle then fought
was, in many respects, the most remarkable which
occurred during our border warfare. 1t was con-
tested from tee to tree and hand TO hand with the
most determined courage on both sides, and lasted
from sunrise till evening.
One of the letters speaks Of Capt. McCLANNA-
HAN as from BOe,ourt. We had always supposed
that he commanded one of the Augusta companies.
He wasNa native of Staunton, or the vicinity, by
profession physician, and cut off in the flow
er Of his age. He was Brother of ALExANDER
MCCLANNAHAN, Lit. Col. of the Seventh Va Re
giment in the Revolutionary war, and afterwards
the representative of this district in Congress while
it sat at Philadelphia.
Our readers aware that a proposition was
made in the Legislature by Mr.. LAupLEy, of Ka-
nawha, to erect a monument to the memory of those
who fell in the battle. No final action was taken
upon it, but the idea having been suggested it will
no doubt be carried out in some way before a great
while.
