The people of the State, and especi-

deep interest in this great work, and
as it is question affecting the inter-

parties should unite in pushing for
ward to complexion as speedily as

see that nature has dealt generously

This contemplated Improvement will

people of the State not only cheaper
freights, bat much easier means OF
transportation for lumber, grain and
other heavy and bulky articles, than
railroads can possibly afford. We
are in favor of this Improvement on

The County Fair.


The County Fair will be held on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
this week. The General Superint-
endent, Mr.. Moore, states that the
grounds and exhibition buildings are
IN perfect condition and preparations
made for a lager attendance and
greater display of the products of
industry and art than ever before.
For several years past the extreme
bad weather embarrassed the pros
ceedings of the County fair, and it ia
hoped that fair weather this week
will favor the objects of the Society
and the instruction and amusement
of the large crowd of visitors.
There will be the usual trials OF
! machinery and &rming implements,
tro',ing, equestrian display, foot
races and other ATTRACTIONS. A good
band of music will be in attendance
! during the fair.
LIT everybody come-farmers
mechanics, artizans, housewives and
chiidren-the old and young-aad
enjoy few days of profit and
Amusement.

Varieties of Potatoes.

Light colored potatoes are the
most popular, though their quality
be inferior. 1t is not essential that
they be purely white, as mixed
color, like that Of the peach>blow or
Mercer, will sell as we'll. In form it
is better that they incline to length,
than roundness. The eyes should be
few and shallow to avoid waste in
pairing, and to give them a smooth
appearance when baked. Origina-
tors and growers of new sorts should
bear in mind these requisites. They
are important. A round, deep eyed,
dark skinned potato will never be>
cone popular in the markets, how
ever good it may be in other re-
spects.
Where the business is carried on
largely it is desirable to grow sew
eral varieties, embracing early and
late kinds, not only to meet the de-
msnd of the market, but to prolone
the season, of planting and harvest
ing, so that the work will not come
Gall in heap and compel large
OUTLAWS for labor. There is safety,
too, in having several varieties, for
in some years one or two kinds will
rot while others remain sound some
will fail in yield and others give full
measure. and prices for varieties also
vary. Judgment should likewise be
used in regard to the adaptation of
the sell to the variety Western

Tho Rothschilds Buying our Bonds.

Il appears that the RothschiIds
have, for the.frst time, entered large
y into the business of buying our ma
ii nal securities. 1t is stated in
Wall Street that the late advances
IN these securities at London and
Fran kfort, was owing to the heavy
purchases made by this great banking
firm. 1t is also stated that the New
York correspondent of the Roths-
chllds, August Belmont, is now in
Europe in consultation with them
and IL is probable that through his
advice they are buying SO freely of
Government boads. The almost
bodhdless wealth of the Rothschids
will enable them to carry an enor-
nous amount OF our bonds, aud it ia
estimated by capitalists and specula>
tors in NY, from private kilograms,
that 1t is their intention not to step
short of 800, 0e0, 900 if that amount
can be purchased without advancing
the price to par in gold.

Agricultural Exhibitions.

We must ever bear in MUD that
the great end Of agric cultural exhib-
itions is education in agriculture.
This end is attained by the examina-
ton of the best stock and best pro-
ducts OF the country. All men are
prone to compare themselves with
too limited a number, and this is
especially true of farmers, when life
is an isolated one. They are apt to
think their oxen and their corn the
best III the country, because in their
prejudiced eyes they are superior
to any in their immediate neighbor-
hood, and it does them good to bring
their stock and crops into o wider
competition. If the first premium is
not secured one year, they are slim.
ulated to higher degree of excel
lence at another trial.
Our fairs have not done for the
education of farmers what they are
capable of doing. 1t does US good
not only to see fat OK, but to learn
how he has been fattened. A
straight backed, clean>legged, wide,
chested and broad hipped Durham
excites admiration in all beholders,
but the object of his exhibition is in
great measure lost if his points are
not studied and the principles of
breeding such stock explained by
those skilled in the art.
We would, therefore, have theeven.
ing of the first day of the Fair de-
voted to social intercourse and dis
cussions among the farmers. At
the New England and some Of the
County Fairs, the evenings have
thus been occupied, to the great ad-
vantage of all concerned. The con-
tact of mind with mind, and the
comparison between man and man,
are not among the least benefits OF
Fairs and we would like to see them
priced more highly.
In conclusion, we would say to
the officers of our agricultural soci.
ties, and to all interested in their
success, to keep up the character OF
the Fairs. 1t is miserable policy
for the sake of temporary pecuniary
gain, to let them degenerate into
horse races. Farmers should not be
made to bear the sins of horse lock-
eys and gamblers. Their own def
ciencies are a sufficient burden
Circuses are palmed off upon the
community under the name Of me-
nageries, but let not our agricultural
Fairs become q misnomer for "pure
agricultural horse trots. "-Aleran
der Hyde, IN Mass. Ploughman.

The Test Oath in Virginia.

The Attorney General, TO whom
the President referred the question
OF administering the tesJ OATH to
the member elect of the Virginia Leg
islature, has Submitted his opinion.
He holds that there is no authority
of law for such preceding, hence
these members will be sworn in
without reference TO such oath, and
Gen. Candy, commanding the Dis
trict, has been 80 instructed. Vir-
GINA is now supposed to be recon
stracted upon the platform of liberal
Republisanism, and the Walker men
claim that better feeling will prevail
among classes interested. The decis-
ion will be welcome news to the
Juge Dent party in Mississippi and
Texas, and will be receievd by him
as triumph over Secretary Bout
well Gov. Walker boasted that the
administration would support his
views as against Canby's and it seems
he spoke with some knowledge.

Death of General John A. Rawlins.
From the State Journal, Sept. 18th.


The news of the death on the 9th
inst, of Gen. John A. Rawlins. Sec
rotary of War, will be read with
profound sorrow by all VIII, ap-
preciate transformations worth aud
signal ability. A native Of Illinois,
and of humble birth, he educated
himself, entered on the practice eff
the law at Galena, ten or tweIv 0
years since, and rose to considerable
local distinction. He was an elcctor
on the Douglas ticket in 1860, and
stumped his Congressional district
with such vigor and success az l.,
win great reputation as popular
speaker.
Shortly after Sumpter had been
fred into the citizens of Galena held
meeting and prominent Democrat
was called to the chair. He began
to talk about "Republican response,
bility" aud of Compromises" when
Rawlins came into the room. He
was loudly called on, and Advancing
to the stand he made speech lastin :
half an hour. He said: al have
been a Democrat oil my life but
this is no longer question of pol
itics. It's simply country or no couatrv
[ have favored every honorable com
promise, but the day for compromise
has passed. Only one course is lett
US. We will stand by the flag of our
country and appeal to the God of
battles"
This is just like Rawlins. In
every fibre Of his being he was in
tensely American. The thin net Of
party he rent to pieces, and stood
forth patriot when the question
was country or no country" Meet
ing General Grant, two DAYS after
this little speech, he proposed that
they should get up u compasv
make Grant Captain, and 'RowIey
and will toss up" said Rawlins 40
see which shall be First Lieutenant"
The Galena company was raised
but neither Grant nor Rawlins were
officers in it. When General Grant
was made Brigadier General, how
ever, his first act was to get Raylins
a commission as Captain and Assis-
tant Adjutant General, and Rawlins
reported for duty on Grants s,afr.
September 18th, 1861. From tbaf
day, until yesterday, these two mon
have been in public service together.
