The PREMIUM SWEET POTATO CRoP-We
are requested to state that the crop of Mr..
VIM. ID. MANSFIELD, of Louisa, which COM
manded the premium for the best crop of
sweet potatoes, at the late Fair, was less than
an acre.. In answer to the enquiry of the
judges, as to how much per acre did the crop
yield, Mr.. M. stated that he supposed the
yield was at the rate of over four hundred
bushes per acre but he had not cultivated
as much as an acre in potatoes Mr.. NJ,
who is a most excellent farmer, and worthy
and conscientious gentleman, wishes this to
be SO understood. Other papers publishing
lists of premiums viii please copy.

THE TELrcpApu


brief paragraph in our Yesterday 10
per stated that the receipts Of the W.sh;ar
ton and New Orleans Telegraph Line, for the e
past month, had exceeded those Of the same
month, last year, by the sum of 5000 It;s
our opinion that never did corporation 80
little deserve to have its revenues increased
We venture to say that very large portion
of its receipts, monthly and yearly. comes
from the pockets of citizens who get notbino
in return for the amounts they pay This city
has but little benefit from the telegraph. -
When the line is not out of order, it is yery
frequently monopolised by the through mes
sages, and Richmond is compelled to submit
patiently under the reflection that Charleston
and New Orleans are better informed on the
political and commercial news of the North
ern cities than she is. The last steamers
news was in Baltimore for near twelve hours
before it was sent on to this city Messages
for the Richmond papers were retained in
Washington for many hours, when they
should have been received here and made
public. The news was important, as indeed
is the intelligence by every foreign arrival at
this period. But what of that? The tele-
graph from Washington to this place does
not consider the importance of the news, nor
the obligations of the corporation to accom-
modate the press with the view to the en-
lghtenment of the public. Day after day the
papers announce "We received no telegra-
phic message last night" They pay cores
pondents in Baltimore who are active and at
tentive-they prepare their messages and
send them to Washington, and there they
stick fast. sF
1t is some consolation to this people, and
to the press here, that another line will in all
probability be built to this place in few
months. The proprietors of the House patent
are making arrangements to extend their line
from Washington to this and other Southern
cities. Then we shall have competition. We
shall be relieved from the vexations of un-
sent messages, when we would give our lives
almost to have them sent-of unanswered
messages, when answers to them are most
important-and of the line not being in work
ing order, when we most want its use. In
short, of the d.sappointments of line which
excites hopes of facilities it rarely affords
and a large portion of whose revenues con-
sists of tolls for messages whose purposes are
entirely defeated by its sloth or by its entire
failures.

IHEATRE.-Mr. COuldOck, who is now

has made himself an enviable name elsewhere.) and
on this account were surprised to find him able to

from his listeners loud and Involuntary applause, as
he made each point, settling the conviction upon the
minds of ALL of his grand conception of the acts and
deeds of the great man he personating If we
had the space to do so, it would afford US infinite
pleasure to follow him throughout the play and to
point out what conceived to be his grand hits for
we have never "Richelieu" in the hands of any
other, the natural, life-like, cunning, commanding

referred to. nor do we believe that we shall ever
again see him SO well set upon the STAGE he was
on Monday night. For one were more than de-
lighted with his representation and therefore take
pleasure in endorsing him actor of extraordinary
merit, and one who cannot fail win upon an intel
gent and appreciative community wherever he sp-
ars. We therefore urge our play-goers turn out
and judge him Tor themselves.
