an adjourned meeting ofthe farmers and
truckers yesterday, at twelve O'Clock. al
Tazewell Hall. W. J. Wright, Esq, o.
Nansemond, was in the chair, and W. H.
G. Levitt, acting secretary.
The oh airman called the meeting to Or
der, and stated that its object was to re-
ceive the report of the committee appointed
at its last meeting; whereupon Col. Cannon,
chairman Of the committee, offered the
following report, which was unanimously
adopted, and the committee continued,
with instructions to prepare constitution
and bylaws for the permanent organiza-
of the society, to be submitted at its next
meeting tl
VIM. ]. Wright, Esq, Chairman of the
Meeting of Farmers, Truckers, Mer-
chants and Shippers of Norfolk, Ports
mouth and their vicinities
Sir After much consideration of the
'du ties conferred upon US by resolution of
this meeting, we are unanimous in conclu-
ding that most of the losses and mishaps
that we have sustained in our business are
attributable to the following causes
First: To the bad management and bad
faith of some of the merchants who sell our
good in New York city.
Second: To the damages done to our
goods on board the steamships, the dana,
ges done IN receiving and in delivering at
the steamers, and to excessive freights paid
tor transportation.
Third: To lack of organization among
the members Of this meeting, whereby we
lose all the advantages that are to be de-
rived from the union of men of the same
Interest and the same occupation.
That we have had several interviews and
communications with the President and
other officers of the Old Dominion Steam
ship Company all of which have been in
definite and unsatisfactory.
Z That we have heard from capitalists and
from owners of large steamship companies,
who say they are ready to give favorable
consideration to our propositions, and to
contract with US on satisfactory terms, if
we will form ourselves into an association
that We shall have power to contract and
to be contracted with.
Therefore, unanimously, we recommend:
LIST. That the farmers, truckers, mer-
chants and shippers of Norfolk, Ports
mouth and their vicinities, for self-presers
walton, form themselves into an association
having power to contract and to be con.
tracted with and to act for the mutual in
terests of its members.
ID. That they receive proposals from all
sources in reference to establishing suita-
BILE steamship line between our cities and
the city Of New York, and contract with
that company whose terms are most favo-
rable to our mutual interests.
Sd. That the truckers, fruit-raisers and
shippers of fruits and vegetables consign
their goods to ten merchants only in New
York city instead of 2l3 merchants, the
present number consigned to.
Respectfully submitted.

WoRKlNGAEN's UNI0N.-We call atten-
ton to the constitution of the Working.
mems Union of this city, framed for the
overnment of their organization, which
has been in process of organization for
some weeks past. The provisions of the
instrument are of such nature as to en-
sure for them and for the community gem
orally material advantage. In their pres
amble they set forth that their object in
unity is to promote "the education Of the
masses, for self.protection, self-elevation
and the Improvement of their social, moral
and political condition" These are as
suredly laudabls objects, for the greater
elevation is given to the workers OF a com.
munity the more prosperous must become
the people of that community. There can
be no question as to the power of such a
combination; then it is to the advantage of
the public that that combination should be
directed in all its movements by the highest
intelligence the working people can select
from among their own ranks.
We hope the organization will bear in
mind, that there is no conflict between
labor andtcapitaB in we'll ordered state
Of society; and that they will SO manage
their matters on all occasions that no con.
fict shallarise between these two elements
in our community. This, of course, they
can best do by being careful in their
selections of ruling men, and avoiding the
seductive overtures of political tricksters
and demagogues, who would be more
proated bylpulling down than building up
their prosperity, and the prosperity of the
whole community. 1857 @s- AA 14'

CoURT. Many persona attending the
sessions OF the Recorders Court in this
city have been edited by the peculiar
solemnity with which oaths are admins

generally taken. Ityso happened that
Wednesday morning an ungainly.Io

Of these tribunals, In the capacity of a
witness. The Judge, with an austerity
OF visage that at once creates the i'm
preston of profound melancholy, held
out the book to the witness, and admin
istered his solemn adiuration to speak
the truth. AZ The conclusion. ofocnrse,
it is expected that the, witness will kiss
the book. But this ''ward Of the ma

the manner and propriety of swearing,
and stood erect.

frightened and trembling darkey, nerv-

brace, and without more ado the long
arms of the son of Ham were thrown
around the judicial neck, ond before he
could be prevented stentorian smack
resounded through the court room.
"Quit, you beast-helpl helpW shouted
the magistrate. But the darkey enjoyed
the luxury, and the embrace was renew

the court, while the loud shouts of the
spectators testified their appreciation of
the fun. At last, however. the officers
of the court interfered, and the half

"Catch him! Put him in Jail! I'll

leaned back against the wall, his face
flushed and his clothes torn from the re-

again poured forth his yituperations.
But the offending darkey was at last
locked up, and the court settled down to
its habitual order and quiet.
