The President and Secretary Of the State
Agricultural Society have called and invited
grand Convention or Council of the farmers
of Virginia, including both those who are
and those who are not members of the State
Society, to be held in Richmond, on the
trentieth deg Of Norember. It seems to us
this may be madea most important convoca-
ton for the agricultural interests of the State.
We therefore advise as many of our farmers
as can to be present

Austria is likely to be burdened with an
other war Of equal, if not greater extent than
that through which she has just passed. We
copy below the latest dispatches on the sub
joct.
VIENNA, Sept. 15.-Austria shows bad
faith in negotiating with Italy, and has made
an unreasonable demand to which Italy will
not submit. Austria has overcharged the
debt of Venetia, and withholds Venetian
property, which she was bound to transfer.
BERLIN, Sept. 14.-Prussia has emphat-
ically notified Austria that she will not suffer
Italy, her ally, to be insulted and defrauded,
and that if Austria persists in her present
course, war must follow.
PRAGUE, Sept. 1.-THE homeward march
of the Prussian troops from Bohemia has
been percmptorily arrested, and the de-
mobilization of the entire army stopped
DRESDEN, Sept Everything looks
like war. There is no other reply from Aus
tria to the notification of Prussia. It is
now but question Of hours whether the
troops will be not again put in motion to Vi
emma.

snIdiers Not Allowed 70 Vote.

The Spirit Of Jefferson abiding to the
manner in which the registration OF 70
teIs is conducted in Jefferson county,
says .-~5:
"Not all who stood by the stars and
stripes in the day Of trial, are allowed
to have a voice in the selection of execu-
tive and legislative officers, but only
those who stand by the negro suffrage
party of radicals, at the present time,
with slight spTinkling of conservatives
TO give the farce aR air OF plausible fair
ness. One pp!icant who had served in
the Union arm s, and WIZ had received
an honorable discharge, was refused reg
istration Oh tLe ostensible ground that
the instructions of the registrar prevent
ed him from placiL on the list the name
of any party who had been rejected by
the former board OF registration. In this
case, to have borne aloft the Union ban.
ner, was no recommendation to the ap-
plicant, becaus his latter day sentiments
leaned to SUP port of one Andrew john
sons conserva i've policy, which consti-
tutes the objectionable offence in the
eyes of Governor Boreman's iron clad
registrars. Il matters little to him, or
any of them, how many faithful Union
men may be DISTINGUISHED, SO that their
power and pay are perpetuated. In
another instance, q sight of the regis
trar's instructions was demanded, but
was refused on the ground that they
were designed alone for the government
of the registrar in the performance OF
his duty, and we're not TO be al. : ed ex'
animation BY applicants for registra'
ton.

All the Decency.

IN the Radical Convention at Phila'
delphia the following scenes occurred
which cannot fail to shock the moral
sense of every right.thinkiBg man in the
community;
MIR. Hamilton, of Texas, read the dis.
patch in yesterdays papers relating to
the Presidents visit to the Northwest.
On reading that part of Mr.. Stewards
speech, aud iDqairipg whether the au.
dience desired Mr.. johnson for King or
President, loud cries of Nary one" were
heard from all part 81 th1, re-wen.ier "a

Johnson 365 degrees into hell, with Bill
Seward and Montgomery Blair on top
Of him, first.
Parson BRowNLow gave utterapce to
these disgusting remarks:
Some gentlemen, not through any IN
kind feeling toward me, but through a
mistaken appreciation of my motives,
has said THAI we were afraid of the ne
gro.suffrage question and sought to Dodge
it. Why, I should feel dlsgraced now
and forever if / felt doubtful on any
subject of national concern. never was

These sentiments, it must be borne
in mind, were uttered on the floor of the
Radical Convention, in the same hall
in which ANNA DICKINSON and FRED

body to which ARTHUR I. FOREMAN,

Alleged .stupeadous Frauds at the

Alleged iStupea0Ous
Navy Yard.-A New Hcrk firm Am-
plicated.
=. One of the most stupendous systems
of fraud on the government whicn pave
come to light during the war mas just
been developed in Brooklyn. anu Ia
wolves New York firm OF some stanu
ing. The matter is at preseng IN inc
hands of Mr.. SillimaD, the United STATES
District Attorney of the Eastern DIS
trict of New York, and from statement
made before him by one of the parties TO
the alleged frauds, who has turned
States evidence, the following alleged
facts appear:
Just after the outbreak of the war, two
enterprising and ambitious young men
started commission business Ia Nc"
York, and soon after became prominent
candidates for government contracts.
They finally succeeded in getting a large
contract, their bid being so lar below al
others, that it was matter OF curiosity
to the other bidders how they coulu
furnish the material at prices tar below
their market value; and according TO the
statement of the infermer, this was easl'
ly accounted for from the fact that be-
fore making the bid they had entered
into arrangement with three govern
ment officials in the Navy Yard who
were to superintend the delivery Of the
goods, by which they should get receipts
for three OF four times the amount OF the
goods delivered and get paid for them.
In this way, according to the statement
of the informer, the government has
been defrauded, during the past four
years, to the amount of over million or
dollars. The witness has furnished a
partial list of the goods for which re-
ceipts were given and payments made
and the amounts delivered.
1t is only partial list of the frauds
which were committed in this manner,
and it is said that not only the members
of the firm, but also their accessories III
the yard, have amassed fortunes IN the
business, but the person who has given
the facts, not having received what be
was led to expect as his fair share OF the
spoils, has given the above information
The United States detectives are busily
engaged in endeavoriDg to find cerroDo
rative evidence of the frauds, and the
matter will probably SOON be officially
investigated.
