B8~A STRAWBERRY FEsTIvAI will be
held at Washington Hall on tomorrow
evening, the 10th iust. Since notice of
this festival was given last week, the la
dies of North Wheeling have been untiring
in their efforts to get up a first class enter
tainmeut, and are succeeding, SO far, much
better than they at first anticipated.
Their calls for contributions have been
literally and cheerfully responded to, and
now all that is necessary to ensure COM
plete success, is pleasant weather, aud a
generous patronage on the part of the
public.
The object is to raise funds to meet the
necessary expense of frescoeing aud inn
proving their house of worship.

PLANE LARGE CRops "A mighty effort
should be made not only to raise large crops
of corn and oats, but the area devoted to
potatoes, peas, sugar cane, beets, carrots
parsnips, and every sort of vegetable should
be largely increased. Profit and patriot
ism both urge this policy. Whether there
be peace or not, these articles must ncces-
sarily command very high prices. In case
of peace, We should have enough Of our own

Oar Position.

In all that we have said as regards the
termination Of the war, we have invariably
accompanied our remarks with TIE admonl-
ton bat the perils which environ Us en-
joined the strlctest vigilance aud the most
energetic Meals which Heaven has placed
in oar hands for the maintenance Of our
liberties, as fighting against q treacherous
and Formidable foe, who would, if possible,
throw US Of our guard and betray Us into
relaxation Of our energies jQst at this tine.
There can DC no doubt that If we are sue
cessful in the 'eat battles now impending,
the discounted Yankees will be unable 70
rally their forces. They can neither re-
plenish their fnauces nor recruit their ar
mics. This idea should be impressed upoa
our brave soldiers everywhere, so that they
may see through the cloud of battle the
dawni0g Of the day star which is TO herald
our freedom and our complete emancipation
from the accursed race who have sought to
subiugate Us. Now, while the crisis abides
and the fate Of our republic trembles in the
balances, let the tremendous energies of q
united people, standing shoulder 10 shoul-
der, be brought to bear ia hurliLg back the
tide Of invasion, as thereby the time will
be hasteued when peace shall be restored to
our country with all its concomnitant
blessings. Never. for one moment, should
our attention be diverted to the mediation
offered by France. or to any event or IN
strumcutality extraneous to ourselves. II
the great West is to slough off from New
England, well and good if not Still our
destiny remains in cur own hands. They
who would be free, themselves must strike
the blow. = Selma Reporter.
