g. The plan Of operations approved BY the di-
rectors at their last meeting has been carried
out and found to work well. In each of the
valley and tide, water counties,of Virginia
where the Society proposed to operate, three
gentlemen of known responsibility and posi-
ton were selected to act as local agents, who
would undertake to ascertain the wants of
these respective neighborhoods; receive the
applications and endorse them as proper sub
jects for assistance, receive and attend to the
proper distribution of the articles sent, and
receive and forward to the Secretary bonds for
the same. With but few exceptions the gen
tlemen selected as county agents responded
promptly to the request, and entered at once
upon their duties,
The small amount at the disposal of the
Society, when compared with its vast field of
labor, rendered it necessary, about the LIST of
August to notify the agents in the valley coun-
ties to discontinue the receipt of further ap-
plications, and in view of the high cost and
difficulty Of procurin gseed wheat in this mar
ket, as well as the cost and difficulty of trans
portation to the valley, it was determined, af-
ter consultation with the agents for the coun-
ties Clark, Warren, Frederick and Shenan-
doah, to endeavor to procure seed from the
upper valleys, where the country had not
been SO much devastated. The sum of Bio, 900
was placed in the hands of those agents, and
the have succeeded in securing six thousand
bushels, at prices varying from 81 so, to
81 80 per bushel, being very little over one
half the wheat would have cost if sent from
this city. ~---s--7 - -.---...--4
The applications for seed from those coun-
ties amounted to about 10000 bushels from
1853 persons. The agents were directed to
scale the amount down to 5000 bushels, the
details of which have not yet been received.
1t not being the desire of the Society to
place those people in the position Of paupers
receiving charity, notes are taken in all cases
for repayment in twelve months, or as soon
thereafter as possible, and the agents have
been instructed that while it would be both
desirable and gratifying in, all cases to have
these notes paid, they are not on that account
torefuse any application because the party is
not, IN their estimation, responsible. If the
applicant is industrious and the assistance re-
quired is necessary to enable him to cultivate

thereby support his family, the Society will
take the risk of future payment ISL
The Secretary saysahe will need $50, 900
more to carry out the views of the Society
this season, and committee has been APP
pointed to raise the amount by further con-
tributions. We bid them God speed in their
good work. s.. fGIo19 ~ -. T.,
