THE Loon AND THE ANVIL NECESSARY TO THE
SUCCESS or THE PLoUGH.-In his September num-
Der the editor of the Plough, The LOOM and be dn-
u, in giving the particulars of the organization of
another agricultural society in Virginia, and ac-
knowledging the zeal and talents Of those con-
cerned, whose names he gives, says;
This looks all very well paper: but Virgin
ians need not expect their TO be developed
and their agriculture 10 prosper, 40 long as they
are content to import cloth and iron from England;
leaving ineIhaustbc beds Of coal and iron sleeping
where they have slept for ages, in the bowels OF
their own State, and their mountain pastures UNI
stocked with fine wooded sheep, that would yield
them hundreds OF thousands Of dollars-a and while,
too, they are content to waste much bad roads,
with imperfect machinery Of transportation, as
would build them mills and forges, making a
market on the land for tho produce of the land-all
the while crying Free trade free trade
" As to their society, have said, the mate
rial is good the men first rae--let see what
they t0iH do But have they not had societies for
hall century! Have they not been coming all
that time and departing, like the Ghost in Hamlet,
And docs the Valley average much Of wheat
throughout, per acre, IL did thirty years ago 7
We, who Travelled through il then, keen observer,
should say not And by how much less now than
then What do you say, Colonel Allen you,
Mr.. Washington? or you, Mr.. BartoDy
Just thirty years ago the Fredericksburg Agri-
cultural Society said, in memorial 10 Congress:
TO buy as cheap you can, no matter where, and
20 cell AZ dear is the maxim which should regulate
the commerce Of individuals and nations And
where ID Virginia now in what has she advanced
what u II That nations OF sfdrUing furnished people
cannot make cheaper than WEI
The best free trade we can maintain with such
a people is TO give such encouragement 10 labor rs
iciiI tempt them 10 come and settle among Then
they will surely be good and able customers, not
only TO the farmer and planter, but TO the halter
ana shoemaker, and weaver and saddler and car
pcnter, and bricklayer each to the other and all 10
the farmer. II the people OF Virginia had begun to
act on this principle even late 1920 she would
now have two millions of population-all her val
l,ys would be threaded with railroads. and steam
boats aud tobscco--ships would be bringing thou
sands OF immigrants from Europe directly INTO her
rivers, TO work up her wool, her iron her coal, her
timber, and her leather; and 10 eat on the spot her
Hour and her beef, her mutton and her potatoes,
from which such heavy deductions now made
Tor the cost Of transportation and commissions go
ing over bad roads TO distant markets. But, says
the political partisan; Let sell in the dearest
and buy in the cheapest market, wherever TO be
found, and 10 this the farmers say: Hmcn' amen!

Local Matters.

TIE AET or PRrSTINo.-Dr. Faust has been
called rcformer and 30 he was; but we doubt
that the humiliation Of the Sabbath was contem-
plated by him a measure Of reform.
The printers Of this city have now under consid-
Grafton the subject Of an increase in wages. or that
we have nothing more to say than 10 express the
hope that wisdom, good feeling, and sound policy
may govern all their actions. But how is il that
they have tho power TO regulate the number Of dol
lars they are to receive per week, and the number Of
hours they to labor in each day and yet unable
TO refrain from violating the Sabbath day which is
held sacrcdhy the men ofall other pursuits The rain
falls upon the Sabbath, and the Shines and the
golden wheat is ripened; but the farmer tolls not in
his fields. The rivers flow by the silent grist mills
and great manufactures TO which they are the mo.
tive power; but here too the laborers all at rest
The physical wants of men not suspended on
the Sabbatb but the merchant docs not stand at his
counter to supply them. The civil government is
not suspended the Sabbath; yet its ministers Of
every degree are not in the active pursuit of the la
bors it requires. Why, then, may not the print
ing-press be suffered TO rcposc' Why may not the
composing stick be permitted to rest upon the case?
What s there in the nature Of the business of print
ing that calls for its performance thoSabbathday?
We have for many years been in some way con-
nected with this branch Of industry, but have
COmprehcndcd the pCCuiar ncCcsnlty Oy some DC
lievcd to exist. The demand for the carly compile
ton Of work often seems very imperatvej but we
have always found that when customers cannot be
gratifcd to-day, they will wait till tomorrow. II
il true that when office will not comply with
demand, the customer will go 10 another; but will
he not do this on account Of tho prccas we'll the
timer That, you will say, is provided for by the
combined determination OF the workmcn: the prices
will be found everywhere the same Well, why
does not the same cobinat on alec decree that the
Sabbath day shall not be profane? Surely they
have the same power. The proprictors of few
printing. offices can attempt the enforcement of
such regulation; for then their less scrupulous
competitors would have too great an advantage
over them But we're all TO act alike in the matter,
none would suffer.
The necessity of Sabbath printing has for n long
time been plead; but there is no such necessity,
and tho world would acknowledge this one month
after the cessation oft. Wherever the daily news
paper now find access, the telegraph has also
found its way, and its brief dispatches arc sufTi-
cient for all emergencies; and the day may come

UNITED STATES MAIL 81 EAMSHIP
COMPANY.


~ THE prbc will be gratiGed to learn
&tUE. that the United States Mail Steam
uH3 ship Company are enabled to an
nouncc that their arrangements are now complete
for sending passengers through from New York to
San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this company to meet the
wants of travel to California, by providing ships on
the Pacific, in come xon with their ships from New
York to Chagres, they were prevailed upon, at the
urgent solicitation OF the great number then dceir-
to go out, to sell tickets for through passages
from Panama in advance, for their ships then GO
ing round This was done from desire to accom-
modate those who could procure passages in no
other quarter, and by which, whatever might be
the detention, they would reach San Francisco
sooner than by any other line Unforeseen dit-
cultes, and the prevalence of fever at Rio Janeiro
at the time, prevented their ships from reaching
Panama as soon as was anticipated and caused de-
tcnton at the lsthmus, which was increased by the
impotence of the passengers in going forward,
against the advice of the company, at an earlier
day than the ships could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed Three
of the four ships of the company intended for the
Pacific service, have arrived at Panama, and scve-
raj of them have performed trips to San Francisco
and back; SO that the company are now able to
give the public the assurance that the voyage
through from New York to San Francisco Will be
performed with regularity and despatch.
The Pacific Line, from Panama TO San Francis
co, consists of the
