The Agricultural Fair.

The recent Agricultural Fair held in
Richmond, was well attended and the vari-
Gus specimens of agricultural and mcchani-
cal skill attracted much attention. We have
no room for the heavy list of premiums a
warded or the occasion. The following pre-
miums were awarded to citizens of this
this county:-To Maj. ]. NJ. McCue, $50
for the best ten acres Of highland corn
to the same, $50 for the best crop of hay,
(two and a half tons per acre,)-to the same,
$50 for the best crops of clover seed ,(wcigh-
ing 81 lbs. per bushel.) To Mr.. Franklin
Davis, OF the Staunton Nursery, $40 for
the best and largest variety of apples suit
able for Southern raising, and to the same,
$40 for the best peach trees.
Republican vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1857, 1857-11-07
Small Change,

There is great complaint among the town
people about the scarcity of small change,
and the questions are asked, what are we to
do? What has become of tho silver and
gold? We see it stated that many persons
who attended the Agricultural Fair carried
with them all the silver they could get, and
sold 1t at a premium-many persons making
expenses by this clever operation Some,
again, are gathering for investment in Wcs-
tern lands. Whether they buy here at a
premium We know not,-but "that's the way
the money goes"

The South and North COMPARED.

It is in these times of shipwrccked fortunes
and general crashes that the agricultural
policy of the South shines out in all its lus-
tire, and the rottenncss of the gigantic sys-
tenn of wild speculation and reckless extrav-
agance Of the Northern and Western States
Is disclosed to the wondering gaze of the
world. Virginia and the other Southern
Planting States remind us of the farmer
strong, athletic and healthy, whose limbs are
not distended to unnatural Dimensions and
who seldom drinks, and always has the cash
TO pay for the best liquors, as he wants
while We can only liken the Northern and
Western free States to the drunkard, bloat-
cd and swelled with unhealthy fesh-tot-
tering and falling over every pebble-going
on swelling and swelling, until rot-gut fails
and then delirium. tremens succeeds, and
the conyulsive throcs of the agonizcd vic
tim of unnatural excitement shakes the
house and disturbs the sturdy farmer who
happens to dwell therein.
That there is something wrong somewhere
there is no doubt whcre-is the question.
That the fault lays wholly with the banks it
is useless to affirm, (although we agree with
a certain writer that the banks are robbers
if they have the money which they pretend
to have, and liars if they have not) for the
banking system of the South is essentially
the sam as that of the North and why is
not the South overwhelmed by the same
ruin? No-the evil lays deeper. 1t arises
from the mistake the Northern people have
made, that fortunes can be reared on other
than the broad basis of labor, industry and
nature. Like the builders of the tower of
Babel, the wild spectators of the North
have attempted to ascend to the heaven of
wealth by other than the natural laws of
trade and manufactures, and they reared n
tremendous structure, fascinating to the eye,
and alluring to wild and reckless goniuses,
unwilling to toll up to fortune by the labo-
rious road planned by nature. A magni-
cent system, but unstable as water, and
shaken by the hand of offended nature, it
totters and falls, and a thousand different
tongues are ready to ascribe the ruin of their
hopes to every and any bat the true cause,
which is that a spirit Of speculation has en-
tered into the North like evil spirits of old,
and nothing but the voice Of 4 saviour in
the shape Of dreadful experience can drive
it thence. In conclusion, we would cxhort
the people of the South to continue in their
present, steady, industrious course, unminG-
full of the sneers of the so~-called business
men and shrewd Yankees, but to remember
that the lips from which those sneers pro-
coeded now want for bread, and that that
same old fogyism, as they sarcastically term
it, has kept them safe amidst almost uni
yersal ruin.
