the Petersburg Express, canbe beaten only BIZ sue

KEEPING Down TIE PRIcEs-The Virginia papers
have olate teemed with complaints of the schedule
of prices established by the Board Of Commissioners
appointed to regulate impressnents in the State The
farmers and producers themselves patriocaly came
forward and denounced the rates of the schedule as
altogether too hgh and insisted upon revision ofthe
prices fixed The result is given in the following in
tsrestng extract from letter from Secretary TREN-
HOLM, dated July slss sad received in Charleston on
Saturday last:
You will be very glad to hear that the Commission
era for this State Virgina) together to-day, and
very patriotcally determined put wheat down, to
$3.50 per bushel from S3o) for August andtS5 for
September; corn at Sc for August and 81 for Septem
ber and so on In this they backed by the whole
country The farmers held meetings everywhere and |
denounced the July schedule.
Do have this reduction noticed in the kertir9 and
Courier suggesting to- and urging the Commissioners
and farmers elsewhere to follow this example; S2per
bushel for whea and 81 for corn in ether States
would not be any lower than the rates paid here,
for Virginia under existing circumstances.
