THE yIRGISIAS.-To-d day closes the fourth vol
une of the Daily Vrginan. Four years ago, the Vr-
pinian was published only twice week. We now
issue a Daily Tr-weekly and Weekly edition. II our
object had been solely profit, might have adhered
TO the more economical management OF the business
which controlled it at the former period-but we
have chosen to keep fully up to the progress of the
times and furnish journal adapted to the means
and the mail facilities of ALL II affords pleasure
10 that the spirit which prompted US has met
appreeatve and liberal response tho part OF the
public. Still, we trust we shall not trespass our
friends when suggest that little exerton their
part in behalf of the Nirginian will strengthen
hands and extend the sway of those principles which
ii is the pride of its conductors to have upheld
and which they will not despair of seeing finally es-
tabshed as the recognized and unalterabe basis Of
government. We therefore ask the readers and
friends of the Virginian everywhere to do and the
advocate the service of increasing its crcu-
laton. very little effort by each would produce
aggregate result of material interest to Who
VIII refuse?
Orr FOR kANsAs.-The Petersburg papers mention |
the setting out of thirty young from that city for
Kansas last Wednesday evening They were under |
the leadership of Col. Rosser, and under the
auspices ofthe Kansas association. Among them we |
notice the names of Charles w. Greene and Richard
p Lambert of Lynchburg. The Express is assured |
by Col r. that he could easily have taken thou
sand men, if means had been furnished From the
same paper we learn that Mr. Jones of Kansas has
returned to that city, after successful campaign of
few days in the counties of Brunswick and Mecklen-
burg In the former county he succeeded in raising
between $500 and $500 and in the latter, between
$500 and $500.
CAsuALry-The Columbia Is, c. Times contains
the following account of distressing stage coach cas-
ualty from which it will be that Mr.. Urquhart,
of Va, (probably of Southampton as there is fam-
y of very high standing in that county by the name
of Urquhart) who was just married. was thrown from
the vehicle and instantly killed
1--WE learn through friend who arrived in this city
Yesterday afternoon from Charlotte, that on Wednes-
day last, stage coach approaching Salem laden
with Is passengers, Cncluding grown persons and
children) broke down, when the horses took fright
and ran off, throwing from the stage large number
ofthe passengers, of whom were slightly ana
others seriously injured. Mr.. Urquhart, OF Virgin
ia, just married, with his wife board, was thrown
out and instantly killed But six ont Of the number
escaped uninju red.'
The DRouGHT-THE CRoPs-A friend just return
ed from trip to Danve, and the surrounding coun-
try brings most distressing account of the effects
of the drought upon the crops. In the counties of
Pittsylvania and Caswell Person, and Rockingham,
North Carolina he states that has been destructive
TO degree almost without precedent The corn on
the highlands has been literally burnt up and cam
not be recruited in auy degree by rains The lowland
presents better prospect and in some localities will
make a better yield In addition to the injury intiict-
cd by drought the chinch hug has committed its raw
ages in large portion Of the district named looac-
co stands better; and with rains now will come cut

THE CRops.-we continue, says the Richmond !
Wing of the 30th to receive alarming accounts OF the
corn and tobacco crops in the greater portion of Eas-
tern Virginia. The drought and the chineh-bug are
nearly co-extensve A failure Of the tobacco crop |
might be endured; though that would be severe |
visitation under the burden of double taxes; but corn
is the staff of life to man and beast in Old Virginia:
The following letter from Buckingham speaks LOT
that region:
"The crops are in an alarming state There has
been no rain and the corn is all in dying condition
and the toblcco is either dead or dying There can
be no crop made of either without speedy and copi-
rains.
