There are several species OF beet loot,
which are used for different purposes. The

But we have to- speak of the red beet, the

only thing we could desire respecting this
plant is, that it might be what the bctau-
lists term it, vulgGris or common, for q
more nutritious esculent could scarcely be

quarter of drachm of Cayernr, or a few
capiscums. Bruise the whole Of these
materials in a mortar, and put them into

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.-Letters are
pouring in from all parts of the State, favouring
the establishment of Central Agricultural Socie-
ty, and scores of gentlemen of wealth and infu-
ence have promised their and TO the organization
Neither the people of Richmond nor those of the
adjoining counties who are concerned in the new
Society, have any sort of desire to make IL the an
tsgOnist Of the State Society, but the contrary
believe that it will strengthen that institution by
increasing the public interest in Agricultural ex-
hibitions. And in this opinion they are not at all
singular, for every member of the Executive Board
Of the STATE Society, that We have heard say word
on the subject, think the new organization will
prove mutually beneficial. So far from interfering
with the success of the State Fair. the Central
Society will give it's exhibition one week in ad-
itors to attend both at trihDg cost
The people of Richmond are deeply interested in
the agricultural prosperity of the State, and if
they can induce the farmers of the country to
visit them this fall, usual, by giving them an
excellent Fair, who can complaint If it be right
for other towns and cities to form societies and
hold fairs, where is the wrong in Richmond follow
ing their example? If they intended no opposi.
tion to the State Society when its Fairs we're held
here, where is the grouad for charging Richmond
with antagonism when the annual Fair is to lie
held esewheret So far we know, the friends
of the Central Society friends of the State So
ciety. and will do all they can to advance the in
terests of both If the State Fair returns here mex
fall, the Central need have exhibition; but if it
does not, then the Central will hold its Fair and
do all IL can to make il creditable one. We are
pleased to tnd that the new nation is winning
friends in every section aud have very little doubt
that it will number 5000 members in the course
of few months.

many worthy men in our city, who are without

anxiously looking forward to the renewal of work
on the various railroads, and to a manufacturing z
revival. Some of them expect to procure situa-

has long been a matter of surprise to us that me-
chanics did not form benevolent societies, aud by
small monthly contributions raise funds TO help
each other when ont of employment The tax ON
each member might be SO slight as not to be felt
by any of them and yet the aggregate amount
would soon be equal to all their necessities
