THE GUANo TRADE.-Virginia is destined soon
to be the garden spot of the Union if the present
spirit of improvement be kept up. We learn from
merchants in the guano trade, that the sale of that
fertilizng article has been unprecedented and as
tonishing the present season To meet The great de-
lnand, very large quantities have been brought to
the market and it is all made sale of as fast as it
rves. II haz become of the heaviest articles of
the trade of city, and those of enterprising
merchants engaged in its sale, are now doing pros
porous business All this ishghly gratifying to US,
it must be to every Virginian. 1t shows that the
spirit of improvement is abroad throughout our
State, fact which, in connection with our great ma
tura advantages of soil and climate, ensures to us
ere long the highest state of prosperity.

TWELFTH OF SEPTEMBER.

Yesterday was the anniversary Of the battle
OF North Point, near Baltimore, during the last
war with Great Britain. The battle took
place on the 18th of September, 1914. It's a
day quite famous among Baltimoreans, and is
always celebrated in the Monumental city
with considerable ardor. The Baltimorean,
behaved with bravery on the occasion, and the
day is one of which the present generation
there may very well be proud. We remember
that the people there were made highly indig-
nant once at remark made by the late J. II.
Buckingham, ofthe Boston Courier, who was
one of the keenest saiirists of his day. Think.
ing that the Baltimoreans made little more
noise over the battle OF North Point than il de.
served, IN comparison with other conflicts on
American battle fields, he took occ aston to Joke

the brilliant deeds celebrated by them, and
could only remember that, when the British
made the attack, there was very rapid retreat

meets the case now presented. The law says:
son every license to hawker or pedler to deal
in tin and pewter, $40; 20 deal in clocks, $50; to
deal in goods wares and me, chandize or other ar
ticles except tin, pewter and clocks, $50"
1t is due to the merchants and to the commercial
interests Of the city, that all illegal traffic be summa
riIy stopped, and we hope our citizens generally
will unite in an effort to put an end to it.
