element in the wealth Of the State Nor can this object
be surely effected than by the frequent
of sentiment among those who have made the subject of
agriculture avorite study. We are too apt 10 directing
attention TO the theories and practice Of
OF prosperity Virginia Is. and has BEEN essen
TALLY agricultural State, and perhaps il is owing to this
cause that she has Icing maintained conservative
position even amid the agations Of political REFORM

The spirit Of agriculture has been quickened aud its i'm
portan:s increased. The ambition OF the young men OF
the State is thus directed into another and say
nobler channe than politics. which has heretofore

consequent increase Of her power be found the best
