TRIAL OF THE STEAM PLOUGH. quite d
number of the leading planters and merchants
of our State were present yesterday at the trial
of the steam plough imported by Messrs Long
street, Owen & Go. The trial took place at
the Fair Grounds; the apparatus, under the di.
rectou of Mr.. Max Eyth, late engineer in-chief
to the Pacha of Egypt, evnced to the fullest
satisfaction of ali present its wonderful capacity
as marvellously complete and effective agrl
cultural implement: Some of our most exten-
siye planters who we're present at the trial we're
enraptured with the swlttness and accuracy
with which it performed its work, albeit the
ground was unfavorably adapted to true and
fair exhibit of its powers.
The plough moves between two engines
with such ease and celerity, guided by one man,
that the work Of forty ordinary ploughs with
all the necessary hands an0 accompanlments can
be performed in twenty four hours, and every
moment Of favorable weather may be improved
with such promptitude and certainty that no
time is lost in preparing the soil Tor Whatever
crop may be designed. The advantages OF this
wonderful Improvement need only to be seen TO
satisfy all who are interested in agriculture OF
its tsadaptability to our soil, aud the economy
and practicability of its working ona large or
sMall scale. It is such an enterprise as should
interest every planter and merchant IN the
Stale, and promises yet to revolatlonlze the
system of Southern agriculture. e.-Neao Orleans

GENERAL EARLY's BooK-We have lc-
ceived from Gen. Early now in Toronto, the
corrected proof sheets OF the history Of his
campaign, which he desires US, specially, to
publish, for the benefit Of the Memorial
Associations under whose auspices we have
agreed to undertake the work. All the profits
derived from the sale Of the work, after paying
the bare cost Of publication, will be approp,rl-
ated sacredly to the object Of marking the
graves of our soldiers who tell where they
now lie in Virginia. The edition will be
cheap one-the retail cost of the book not to
exceed one dollar-and the object OF this notice
is to forestall any publication that may be made
elsewhere by enterprislng publishers haVlpg
their own interests solely at heart. The bet
ter to subserve the laudabe object which the
General has in view, he has determined to
withhold from circulation the naming copies
published at his own expense ln Canada, foI
distribution amongst his friends, until this
editon-sha be published and disposed OF.
We trust that all the newspapers OF the
State, and of the South, friendly to this 90
]ect, will publish the substance of this notice
and invite orders for the work at once.
Letters upon the subject should be addressed
to the Virginian Office, Lynchburg, or TO Mrs
Z ID. Brown, Secretary Hollywood AsSoc'

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD ACROSS THE
PLa1Ns.-There has been nothing in all the
history of civilization to match the rapid con
struction of the Pacific railroad from the Mis-
souri liver to the Rocky Mountains this year.
We give some details. that heighten the mar
vel of the great feat from the Chicago Tribune:
The first forty miles of track were not laid
until January, 1866, and 1t was indeed the
middle of April before track-laying commenced
in earnest. From that time the work has gone
on with unexamp!ed rapidity. 1t was literally
race against time, and time has been beaten.
Two hundred and ten miles of track have been
laid ia one hundred consecutive days, excepting
Sundays.
Daring that time the company have erected
all their necessary buildings in the most sub
stantial and perfect style, at the eastern termi-
nus, Omaha Some ideaof the extent OF these
shops may be cleaned from the fact that they
are now turning out here one complete car per
diem. On the building Of the road, the work
ing force, at times equal to 1900 men. has
been employed. Nine steam mills have been
put up by the company, and, with 4 dozen
others, kept steadily running for work on the
road. Two steamboats, have been bought and
several Others constantly chartered by the COM
pany, and q very army OF men on the lines OF
trans, ortation have had the duty all the while
of seeing that the material shipped for the
road should be hurried along. The actual
amount paid in freights on iron alone, during
The last year, was 81, 100000, and, as single
item, showing the enormous cost, much OF the
iron cost torty-six dollars per ton for tranSpor-
tation from the place of purchase to Omaha.
There are already twenty-one locomotives
on the line; also about two hundred cars of all
kinds 1t cost from $500 to ST, 900 to get each
OF the locomotives up from ST. Joseph to
Omaha, distance Of two hundred and twenty
five miles $3.50 to Sl75 each for bringing up
platform cars, and as for the passenger cars the
con pany bad themselves to buy boat tor their
transportation.
For sixty miles down and one hundred and
fifty up the Missouri river from Omaha, all
the force which could be obtained has Leen
steadily at work all this year In getting out ties:
and uow great numbers gre being obtained
three hundred miles west of Omaha. Those
from this last source are all of cedar, an excel
lent and durable material, and finding them
near the line will be great advantage to the
builders of the road The average cost OF ties
has been 81 Is to 81 so each. To-day the road
is 27l miles west of Omaha. 1t is graded and
ready for track laying 100 miles further, The
rail is going down at the rate Of a mile and
three quarters to two miles per diem, and only
about $50 miles further, at most, will bring
them to the base Of the Rocky Mountains.

The New Orleans Picayune, in n recent
article on Emigration, discussed the different
points that have been proposed and selected as
suitable places of refuge by different persons
of these Southern States. 1t says:
British Honduras has the advantage of having
English government English law, English Ian
guage, and in being readily reached. 1t has also
navigable streams, and the mahogany cutters have
made some roads. But the population is small,
and the few laborers discharged from the employ
of the mahogany cutters would be taken up by
three or four score Of our upland planters to say
nothing of those who have made their thousand
bales or more. Labor is cheap and plentiful now,
because there are only small patches in cultiya-
ton: Let men go down there with the means to
employ few laborers, and then there will be far
creator dearth of labor there than here. Nor can
you depend upon the laborers Of that region.
They are either Jamaica negroes, like our freed
men here, Spanish Americans who are like the
lazy and shftless lower class Of Mexcans, or few
as done by u.s.,
Such as arc not prepared to live in the rough,
to cat course food, to go without Society" for
months, if not years, to lose sight Of newspapers
and books, and to find their sole reward in re.
moyal to be that they have exchanged an unfrend-
ly Government for solitude and isolation would do
we'll to stay away from either Brazil or British
| Honduras. AS for Venezuela and Republican
America in general one can only say that what
ever evils are to be found in our own Government,
are to be found there intensified, and even more
| intolerable
