In recent conversation with wander,

In recent conversation with wander ing Cincinnati journalist, Gen. Strother, whose real name is Porte Crayon. express ed his opinion of his fellow Virginians with admirable freedom and candor. He says they are as proud and idle as in John Smiths day. Manual labor is considered unworthy of gentlemen. The young men loiter around the hotels, borrow money from any body, with no expectation of re- turning it, drink on credit, but do no work,
 The feudal spirit is stronger in Virginia than in any quarter of Europe. It shows | itself more dlsagreeably in general con
 tempt for the forms of law. "A man in {, a civil quarrel" says Porte Crayon, "will shoot his antagonist or settle the case oy single combat, but it is low and tradesman- hke to appeal to a court" The war has made matters worse. People wlo used to DO to church have grown superstitious they tell of springs that have ceased to flow l and of trees unaccountably blasted. The old men carry the curse in their eyes. Their
 physical growth is gone; their eyes and skins are ash-colored. The deliberate opinion of this intelligent and sagacious Virginian is that the race of Virginian

Gen. Grant continues to refuse all pub lie demonstrations and receptions in his Western tour. A few days ago the City Council of Leavenworth offered him muni- cipal honors; but he wrote a letter of unu- sual length for him, asserting and reitera- tng his desire to be saved from the infic- tlon.

A CRY FROM EGYPT.

The following passages from a 1etto,. written at Thebes by Lady Duff Gordo,
 and printed in MocnsiUan's Magosine. da'
 scrl6es the misery of the Egyptian peonIe
 The misery here now is wearisome to
 think of. Every day some new tax. Now every beast, camel, COW, sheep, donkey.
 horse, is made to pay. The fellaheen can
 no longer eat bread; they are living on
 barley meal mixed with water and raw. green stnff vetches, &c., which to people
 used to good food is terrible, and I see all my acquaintance growing seedy and rag- ged and anxious. The taxation makes life almost Impossible; 100 piastres per feddan
 as asa a tax on every crop, on every animal
 ntst, ana then when 1t is sold again in the
 market, and tax on every man. on ,.bor
 coal, on butter, on salt. The last rao,ia-
 tlons have stopped all money-lendino. and
 the prisons are full of Sheykhs el Beled ,
 wnose Villages cannot pay their taxes.
 Most respectable men have offered me to go partners with them now in their wheat "nlcn Will be cut In six weeks, if only I would pay their taxes now; to take half Ihe crop and half the taxes with interest out ot their half, some such triffe as thirty per cent. per month. A Greek at Kaos is dolng this business, but as he knows fine people here he accepts none but such as are vouched for by good cadees,' and he Will not lose 8 feddan.
 Our prison IS full of men, and we send them their dinners in turns. The otbar day woman went with the big wooden ooWl on her head full of what she had cooked for them, accompanied by her bns- band. A certain Effendi, a new Vakeel nere, Was there, and said: What dost tbou ask here, thou -? calling her by an op- Plooraoas name. She Is my wife, o Ef- lenul! Whereupon he was beaten till he 11 ainCed' ana then there Was 8 lamentation.

Such are the humors of tax gathering in this country.
 It Is not little hunger, it is the crna1 oppression, which maddens the peonle now They never complained before. Bnt now whole villages are deserted, and thou- sands have run away into the desert be- tween thls and AssOuan. The hands of the government are awfully heavy upon us. All this week the people have been work Ing night and day cutting their unripe corn, because three hundred and ten men are to go tomorrow to work on the railway below Sloot. This green corn is of course valueless to sell and unwholesome to eat. So the magnificent harvest of this year is turned to bitterness at the last moment. From neighboring village all the men are gone, and some more are wanted to make up the coroee. The population of Luxor is one thousand males of all ages, so you may guess how many strong men are left after three hundred and ten are taken.

 A numoer of experiences of this kinC ought to have warned the democratic lead CTS not to attempt prophecy. Their stren otI ooes not lie Ill that direction; events ap. pear Io nave spite against them. It would oe dl1hcult to imagine any thing more in appropriate than General Sherman's capture of Atlanta just after the democrat ic convention had solemnly declared the war failure. and demanded immediate cessation of hostilities; but the circum- stances under which the democratic plat- form appears to-day are not more fortu- nate.
 The platform denounces the Freedman's s Bureau and demands its abolition: but Congress had already passed an act dis cont1nlng the Bureau, which became law on Tuesday; and General Howard gives hotlce Ill the same papers in which the de- mocratlc platform Is printed, that the Blu feau has ceased in South Carolina, and that he Is rapidly winding up it's affairs in the other states.
 We read in the platform a demand for the Immediate restoration of all the tates: and turning from this passage to another column or the papers, read that while all are restored but four, South Corolina, Vlr glnla, Mississippi and Texas, South Caroli ha mas just adopted the amendment, and Will aouDtless be represented in Congress within the week. But we read also in the platform that the acts of reconstruction are "vold, which means that the demo- crats, if they succeed, will at once destroy all that has been done, and put us back again to 1865. This is a promise which will hardly delight people who have grown tired of the long reconstruction souabble. To re, open this question, now settled in all but three states, would be calamity to the country-but that is what the platform threatens
 There are but two points in the demo cratic platform which events have not fore the clause favoring the taxation o1 bonds and their payment in greenbacks; and the clause demanding "protection to American industry.'' But even in these two two particulars, General Butler and Mir. Ihaddeus Stevens, the one with the bill taxing bonds and the other with the new tarlff U bull, are doing all they can to meet Gn Gne requirements of their democratic friends and allies.

[ ANNUAL ItrrOTsr.@TSre : nav0-rF71o5, v
 second annual report of T. S. Gold, secre- tary of the Connecticut Board of Agricul- ture, book of 225 pages, printed by or der of the Legislature. The report gives 6 very full account of the. proceedings at the annual meeting of the Board, with a full abstract of two lectures given before the Board by Professor A. D. Verrill of Yale College, on "The Laws of reproduc- tion in cattle" and synopsis of lecture by Professor William H. Brewer on {" Par malls for food" A considerable portion of the work is devoted to reports of the dis cussions at various meetings of the Board, on cattle breeding, dairy husbandry, feed ing for milk, etc., and communications from different cattle breeders on neat stock. These communications, giving the results of the experience of breeders in feeding, and in breeding different breeds of stock, are very interesting, and contain many valuable hints to agriculturists The book IS illustrated by wood cuts representing several superior animals, owned by differ ent breeders of thoroughbred stock in this State. A portion of the book gives the re- ports Of delegates to visit the different county fairs. Full pedigrees of the ami
 malls represented in the illustrations are l given. The attention of the Board, at its meetings and discussions this year, seems to have been given mainly to matters per
 taining to stock-raising and dairy products
 and other agricultural interests are but lit tie noticed. The secretary deprecates the prominence given to exhibitions of horse: at the different agricultural fairs, express
 ing the belief that just in proportion a:
 horse trotting is made prominent, interes
 in other parts of agricultural exhibitions
 is lost. He thinks that if fairs cannot bt maintained without horse-racing they hat , better cease. Mir. Gold speaks of tbe cor T dial reception with which the efforts of thu Board to develope the agricultural resour
 ces of the State have been received, an'
 states it as the desire of the Board {: t. bring the live, wide-awake, working farm CTS in contact with each other, that by al } interchange of thought they may not on1 , learn to be better farmers, but that the may gather new heart to overcome thos obstacles incident to their vocation, and b encouraged to do more and better servic
 for themselves and the State.'
