before many years to hear the whistle of
engines reverberating through every
nook Of our mountains, for it is only then
that the vast mineral wealth of these

An extensive experience of twenty years as
importers and dealers in GUANe and Fertile
zers of various description, and by direct in
tercourse with RI. farmers and planters, AS
GRIM MERCHANTS, has enabled us to learn
their experience and results from all sorts OF
natural aud artificial MANUREs and to form a
practical knowledge of theif wants in fer
tilizer adapted generally to the various soils
and crops of the Southern States, and at a
price commensurate with present values and
proper regard to economy in outlay.
We have been induced to establish man
ufactory iii this city upon an extensive scale,
with the appliance of steam and with every
recent improvement in machinery for grind
ing, mixing and thoroughly combining the
various chemical constituents, now well as
certained as forming the elements of a first
class fertilizer, and absolutely required to
build up the truly vegetable part Of the plant,
and restore to the soil the elements of direct
"PLANT FOOD" which previous crops may
have drawu from it, and which can be relied
upon for uniformity, containing the valuble
properties claimed for it, and at a less price
than any other similar manure offered in this
market.

Thursday Morning, September 2, 1859.

With this number our paper enters
upon its fifth volume. We feel disposed
to return thanks to our many kind friends
for the interest they have manifested and
the patronage they have extended to our
enterprise We begin the new. volume
with larger subscription list than has
ever been attained by any paper in this
place, and with a prospect Of a handsome
increase during the year. We shall make
every effort to make it more worthy of
your patronage If our friends through
out tie county will take Che trouble to
rpeak kind word for Us, wefcel confident
that our subscription list would soon be
doubled, thus enabling us to make the
improvements which are now prevented
by want of capital. Friends. come to our
assistance, and we will promise to relax
no effort in cndeavoring to make the
SHENANDOAH HERALD one OF the best
county papers in the State. While We
have not agitated the many political issues,
which we were accustomed to discuss, we
still entertain, and expect at the proper
time to advocate those principles of right
and justice which our fathers enjoyed, and
which we, when freed from the tyranny
which now brushes our State, are destined
orce more to enjoy. Patience is not sub
mission, nor is it sacrifice of principle.
1t is only the means of obtairing that
which is rightly ours. The day will come,
IN spite of the efforts Of the petty tribe of
Radical tools who are now for a season
permitted to rob our people and hold
short lived sway, based upon military
power, when this whole horde of carpet
bag scoundres shall be driven from the
State, and their whining sycophants who
are willing now to turn against their own
people, will be as willing to swear they
never bad any sympathy with carpet bag
ism. Have patience; friends, Virginia is
ours, and her sons viii yet govern her.
Those who have been false and treacherous
in her hour of need will receive their re-
ward. Again, we say, let US be patient.

TQUALITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA.
Read these Advertisements before you Insure.
EQUALITY LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
OF VIRGINIA.
OF VIRGINIA.

Reasons why every one should insure in the
Equality Life Insurance Company of Virginia:
First. 1t is more liberal 20 the insurers than
any other company, and will eventually become
purely mutual and belong to the insurers.
Second. 1t circuates its money amongst its
patrons, who are the insurers. Consequently
they are continually getting the benefit of the
rapid accumulations of the Company, the money
being invested by the Board of Directors amongst
the insurers Therefore the insurers build
ing up an institution peculiarly their own, and
conducted for their benefit.
Third The loans in this Company as liberal
as other companies, who declare divden ds at the
end of the second, third, and fourth years; but
this Company at the end of the first and every
wear Thereby the insurer saFes several years
interest on his loaas by insuring in this Company,
and he never looses his money if he ever pays up
for ONE WHOLE EAR, whereas in other com
panies he has to remain an insurer for several
wears, or he looseSa all the money he has paid.
Let the people of Virginia take plain, com
mon sense view of the subject, and see that 1T is
to their interest to- keep the money here, where
they have no restrictions scarcely on their poll
cies, and can get the use Of the money they have
been heretofore sending out of the State.
