hal f. a basket two weeks ago, did not
find ready purchasers on Saturday at less
han one-third that sum. Fruit, of all
klnds, was cheaper. Apples and peac"ea
had fallen in few days from four to eigh,
cents on the quarter peck berries, which
seem to BE- abundant, from six to eight
cents on the quart Butter is kept up.
1t sold on Saturday at from fly, five to
sixty cents the pound, which the pro-
ducers admit is more than it is worth at,
this season of the year, if at any. Meat
has declined very little; indeed, pork is
on the rise, and lard has gone up two or
three cents on the pound.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE

Great Destruction of Animals.-TAe Black
CHAT the Forerunner Of The Pestilsmce.
The Memphis Bulletin, of the 2lst, has the
following, in relation to the cattle plague
heretofore briefly noticed:
awe learn from gentleman who has just
returned from Phillips aud Critienden coun-
ties, Arkansas, that the planters in the Mis-
slssippi bottoms have been, and still, suffers
ing severe loss by the death Of their horses,
mules, cattle and hogs, by singular disease,
which is carrying them of in great mum,
bers.
SIN the early part of the summer an ncredi-
BILE number of black gnais made there ap.
pearance in the bottoms, aud attacked not
only cattle and horses, but also birds, wild
turkeys, dee:s and other game, with such
ferq6lty as to kill, in a short time, quite a
nuffher of them. After the isappearance of
the gnats, a disease broke out among the cat
tie, horses and hogs, and has been ragih for
some time, and is stin prevailing, through
the indications now are that the epidemic
fer suchsit appears to be-is abating. The
disease resembles very closely erysipelas, the
attacked swelling up, under the breast, at
other times on the side, bat more frequently
under the throat, and dying generally 10 from
attacked
"Our informant conversed with several in
telligent planters who have beea great suf-
ferers by this strange disease, among them a
physician eminent 10 his profession, and all
of them concurred in the opinion that it was
closely alii.d to erysipeias; and also that the
visitation OF the gnats in the early part of the
summer had some influence in producing the
disease,
''lt is thought that the great amount of
poison which was necessarily absorbed into
the system by the bite, OF the nat-whioh is
most poisonous INSECTS developing itself
il the disease which is now ravaging the
whole animal race in that region. Some cases,
when taken 10 time ia cured by precisely th e
same treatment practised in cases oferysipelas
painting with anodyne the effected parts havs
ing fine effect.
"The loss of stock, especially of hogs, has
been very great, One planter 10 Walnut Bend
has lost over two hundred hogs and seven
horses and mules, besides oxsr and mitch
cows. Another, living a short distance above
the one named, has lost thirteen mules and
horses, aud hogs and cattle in PREPARATION.

of July, just end d, there were tweniy-eight
marriage licenses Issued in tbis city by the
clerk Of the Hus Jugs Court This number is
aim st unprecedented in the hymenial annals
of Petersburg and it may be considered the
mo remarkable in view of the fact, that for
ten days during the month, the clerk was pre-
vented from granting licenses, because his
Office was declared vacant By the Governor.

IMMIGRATION.

We call attention to an article in an
other column, from a Richmond CORES.
pondent Of the New York Day Book
The writer handles his subject with a
great deal Of ability and as it is one of
UGH great and pressing importance to
the new status of the State of Virginia,
and particularly to the tide water regions
of this State, we would like to awaken
the thoughts of our people on this SUBJ
ject.s
The era Of free-labor has caught the
ide water section of Virginia with thou
sands and thousands of acres Of unculti-
waited land; in fact, we may say, two
thirds of the land within a circle of
twenty-five miles of Norfolk, the great
centre of business which already gives
It's vast sustaining influence to number
of steam lines to the Northern cities, lies
unemployed and unproductive, awaiting
immigration. With all the advantages
Of slavery, if there we're any to Virginia
productiveness, these lands, lying within
twenty-foui hours transit to the great
marts of the country, have never been
brought into use. Why was thisg Emil
grants would land on these shores and
traverse the continent almost in search
of homes. They would brave the western
wilds. and far ahead of civilization and
transportation, they would there await
for many years the arrival of the stea IL
whistle in the wilderness, before markte
could be obtained for the products of
their labor. Why was thiss There are
those who have attributed it all to the
existence Of slavery on the longed-for
lands Of Virginia and the border States.
Well, slavery no longer exits here. These
lands, that have been SO long coveted for
free labor, are now open for immigra-
ion, and without immigration they can
never be brought into productiveness.
The negro population, that has done
doubtless all it could towards clearing
and cuitiyatiDg them, has been found in
adequate to perfect more than one-third
Of its work, while in state of slavery /;
and allowing it liberal increase, if you
please for freedom, with that labor alone,
not more than one.half of the land can
ever be made productive. Now, the in
ference is plain-the present population
10 inadequate to the task. In order to
perfect the great work of clearing up and
oultivating this wonderful gardsn-spot of
tide water Virginia, vast influx of i'm.
migration must pour in. If, in this cir
Gle, we have already ten thousand labor
ess tilling the soil, then we want, and
must have, ten thousand more. Where
are we to get thema As we have al
ready shown, the negro element has been
worked up to its utmost capacity. The
difference between slavery and freedom
will make no difference in supplying this
great want-it does not increase num-
bers by merely changing condition. Let
US have more laborers!
