CROPS IN THE GREENBRIER REGIO,

CROPS IN THE GREENBRIER REGION.
A correspondent in Lewisburg informs us
that in the entire range of country drained
by the Greenbrier and its tributaries never
has the labor of the husbandman and grazier
been more fully rewarded
Anticipating increased sources of consump-
ton in the large force expected to be placed
on the Covington and Ohio railroad, much
larger crop of every kind was put out than
usual, and all of every kind is most luxuri
ant. From the green vallies and hillsides,
with their thousands sleek and fat bullocks
to the rich and golden harvest that has just
yielded to the scythe and sickle of the reaper,
all presents scene which may well fill the
heart of the husbandman with joy and graft
tude No blight has touched the wheat or
rye The oats are generally most heavy, and
the meadows and pastures as luxuriant as
could be wished. Our correspondent adds
tnat the waving corn, now shooting and tas-
selling with the fine and frequent rains, can
scarcely fail to be superabundant.
We concur with our correspondent in the
desire that increased forces could be put on
the Covington and Ohio Railroad But if that
desire cannot be gratifed at present, we have
full faith that it will be eventually and that
the rich and delightful region of the Green
brier will ere long have an avenue to Vir-
ginia market, and be bound to the East with
bands of iron

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The Enquirer, of Saturday, says til Mt in ,ba,br.s
weeks remaining of the present session of Con
gress, much mischief may be DONE The PASSAGE
of the River and Harbor Bill by the House, shows
the strength Of the interest (which promotes all the
great schemes Of federal aggrandizement," and
prepares for the success Of the Homestead aad
kindred measures. In this emergency the Enqui-
rer says the country expects the President do his
oa'y. Although nothing will be done with regard
70 CUBA, the Tariff, aud numberless private bills of
merit, during the preeent session, st concludes
the EnquirerO perhaps it is better under the cir
cumstances, that Congress should adjourn. The
country can endure It's sins of omission but not
the positive harm, which it threatens to iuct IL the
session be prolonged
The Penny Post alludes, in terms of high praise,
to the mountain top track Central Railroad.) Not
only is it safe and complete route for passenger
trains; but route for freight it commends itself
with equal If not greater force. The already accu.

Post) that the actual vitality of the city may well
nigh be said to depend upon the construction of
this road. Short sighted and mistaken indeed, is
the policy which would ipcuIcate refusal to sub.

OF SO invaluable purpose.
The Whig devotes leader to the foreign news
An aggressive war upon Russia, it says will not be
so easily carried as the overthrow of her forces
in the PrDcipalities has been effected. Within her
impregnable fortresses, Russia may defy them. As
to any prospect peace, therefore, it may be set
down that we have only seenthe BEGINNING OF the
end. The Wing also comments upon report and
resolutions recently adopted at meeting Of the cih
zens of Buckingham county The report furnishes
an amount of valuable Information, and ably sets
forth the Importance, to the Southern States, of
greater commercial facilities. The Wing expresses
its qualification at the movement, and alludes, in
conclusion, to the resolution of this meeting in f.
vor of patronzing, in preference to all others, cur
State literary institutions-our mechanics and ar
tzans and all that pertains to Virginia's advance
ment in the arts and sciences, education &C. which,

every true Virginan.

IHE RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.-"Ion," of the
Baltimore Sun, writes from Washington as follows
The river and harbor bill will unouestion.b1,,
pass the Senate. The bill will GO to the President
very much IN the same form in which it came from,
the committee OF commerce of the House. and il ia
very well known that he recognizes the distinction
between works to be continued and works to be
commenced. He will of course, approve of the
bill, in common with the majority of the Democra.
cy OF the House. Thus it is that the internal
Improvement doctrine has become engrafted upon
te principles OF the Democracy, and hereafter its
application may be even too extensive If II can .,o
cover general systems" the opposition to it must
be givenup. '-u''

EFFECTS OF ABOLITION

The Caracas correspondent of the n. Y.
Herald gives sombre picture of the effects
of negro emancipation in Venezuela He
says that coffee, sugar and cocoa estates, that
could not have been purchased for 100000
before the passage of the law liberatipg the
slaves, could not now be sold for $4,000 :;
that hundreds of estates will be entirely aban-
doned and that the negroes willnot work one
day out of the week; drinking oquardiente
and gambling are now the only occupations
Hundreds of families are left without single
servant, and will be compelled to send to Eu.
rope for them
This is but another example of the ruinous
effects of negro emancipation. In st. Do
mlngo, In Jamaica, in every island of the
west Indies on every spot on the habi.
table globe in which the same experiment has
been tried, precisely the same results have
followed. The abolition of slavery is an ex-
emption of the negro from the operation of
that universal law of labor which was pro.
nounced by Heaven upon all mankind, for
the negro will not work except upon COM
pulsion. But it is an exemption of which the
inevitable conditions are moral and physical
deterioration, disease and death. 1t is aston
ishing that, with the lights of experience she'd
ding such broadand vivid illumination upon
the whole subject, men can be found in the
United States to advocate the abolition of
slavery in the South, and pretend that il would
be benefit both to the master and slave.

robbery of August Belmont's office, was led to be-
lieve that VIM. Hall, Scotchman, and cashier o.

Friday, says:
He was accordingly arrested and when taken
before the Chief frankly confessed his guilt stating
in extenuation that he had been led into specializing
in stocks, had used the money ofthe firm for that
purpose, had lost large account by his operations
and that his cash amount was deficient He took
this $4,000 not 10 keep but to supply the defcien-
