Virginia African State Fair.


Virginia African State Fair.
Negroes Going South.-The Chat
tanoosa, Tenn. Representative Of the
l7th ult says: 'A CARLOAD of ninety
seven Virginia and South Carolina
Africans passed. through this city on
the evening Of the l4th inst, en- route
for the cotton aud sugar regions. The
railroad arrivals show a tremendous
drain OF Africans from the old States
to those further South"
Mcssrs. Editors: The above para
graph has suggested an ilca. though
it may be neither new or novel. 1t
seems that the producing and export
ing of Africans has grown to be very
important branch Of commerce in the
Old Dominion. The production is
largely on the increase. and the South
ern demand for the Virginia article is
daily augmenting. And now the only
thing necessary to insure profitable
trade for chivalrous sons and aristo-
cratic sires in the Commonwealth OF
the good old Mother of Presidents,
is to take steps to promote the pro-
tluction, and improve the quality Of
the staple article.
All great interests, such as the ag
ricultural. the manufacturing. &c.
have derived great benefits from annu-
81 or semi-annual fairs, exhibitions,
&c, OF their commodities. Prizes are
awarded for the finest fruits, the tallest
roostcrs, the best horses, the biggest
bulls and calves. These fairs excite
competition, and without doubt tend
to the cultivation and Improvement of
every thing to be exhibited. If this
plan of operation is beneficial to the
minor interests of the State, there is
no reason why it viii not prove equal
" so to one of great. and indeed. vital,
Importance. In view of these facts.
| wish to make the following sug-
gestion:
That move be made for holding,
