commend TO tho serious attention of our people,

the suggestions Of ousrennessee contemporary. The
article follows: 1.-THE partial emancipation Of the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, from depen-
iepce upon the arbitrary rule Of railroad politi-
ci.ps. or political railroads, in Georgia. by the

discussed ~ the tir5a II 10 believed by many
however. that Lynchburg is IN excellent market
for Teunassee Leaf Tobacco, ana that all the
country tributary to the Cumberland river. and
now sending Tolaeco to New Orleans would do
hctter by sending it to the metropolis of Western
Virginia. This il mutter to he tested. Lynch
b re- is q great tobacco market, but we have never
Maid auy attention to prices there, and cannot.
therefore. say how they compare with those OF
New Orleans. fair test Of that market can be
made the ensuing season. OF one thing we teol
assured. IL anything like the prices paid last
season for the few hogsheads of Tennessee Tobac-
co sent there. can be had uniformly, the thing ns
our Democratic friend, Carson would say, will
"nov like rails" Upon Tobaccn, the price Of

being under the new tariff. 63 cents per hundred

Cincinnati, Wheeling and Pittsburg, and receive

But. it is to our Grocery Trade to which these
new fields appear at present to be most inviting:
That trade has already penetrated the confines OF
Upper East Tennessee, and we see no reason why
it should not penetrate into Western Virginin,and
carry off the rich trade of all the territory tribu
tary to Lynchburg There are hundreds of hogs
heads of sugar in store here now which can be
bought rs low as the same article can be purchns-
ed in New Orleaus--this is nearly always the
case But even if the prices were 10 favor Of New
Orleans the difference in tho distance between
New Orleans and Lynchburg ria Richmond, and
between Nashville and Lynchburg would more
than counterbalance it. These remarks apply
with equal force to molasses and whisky, the lat
ter having to make the journey from Cincinnati
ria Baltimore and Richmond to get to Lynchburg.

our Lynchburg contemporaries, in furnishing them

The new fields have just been opened, and u new
business season is approaching. There is time
enuugh, before tho driving times OF tall begins to
look over the fields and see what can be done. A
tour Of inspection and to form acquaintance, will
not occupy many days, and may yield rich returns:

have before called upon our county to assist, so
far as she may be able, in sustaining this Society,
which has for it's object tho improvement OF agr-
culture and agricultural implements, and we sim
cerely trust she will now manifest some interest
and permit herself to rank behind none of her sis
ter counties in the great work. Accept with ca
gerness every opportunity to improyein tillng
the soil, in the raising OF stock, in agricultural
implements, and in whatever else may be beneh-
cal in an agricultural point of view. more i'i-
yorable opportunity was never presented to the
farmers Of Smythe. Tho fine crops raised this
season will enable her to dispute successfully for
the premiums upon grain, and together with her
stock she can make an exhibition that will indeed
surprise herself The premiums are larger than
any ever heretoforgiven.
