Price Of Wheat.

Upon this subject the Richmond IJhig says ::
The recent decline in the wheat market is due
no doubt TO some extent to the decline in gold
and the season of ths year But independent
Of that, il is the natural reaction from the high
price Of 1868. Under the ssimulus of that
price an unusually large crop was seeded in the
great grain growing regions Of the West and
Northwest, which controlthe market in this
country. This, combined with favorable sea-
sons, has produced an excessive supply and
brought down the price. SO that nearly one
third the value Of the Western crop is con-
sumed in getting it to market As the price of
pork and beef. other staples of that section,
keeps, up, it is probable that more attention
will be paid to them in future, and that the
pressure on the wheat market will be thus re-
lieved to some extent. In the meanwhile it
will bear heavily upon the wheat growers of
Virginia. and tend to deprcss the farming in
terest, which is our main reliance for the pres
ent. But the fact should not be lost sight of
that the comparative profit of wheat growing
in Virginia and the Northwest is in favor Of
the former as the price declines. Putting the
average cost Of transportation to market from
Virginia at fifteen cents per abushel, and from
Missouri and Iowa at fifty cents, it is easy to
see that the proportionate margin of profit In
| creases in favor of Virginia-as the reduction in
price takes place ...,sE ..f. Hrsf-

Tuesday, March Is, 1870.
To the Property-Holders of Stanton.


We think the experience of the past week
has fully proved the promptness, and efficiency
Of our fire department The fire Of Wednes-
day morning, though occurring at two O'Clock
A. NJ, an hour when the whole town was
wrapped in sleep, had burned scarcely ten min
utes, when they were upon the ground, play
ing stream of water on the light. dry wood
buildings adjoining thus saving them from IN
eyitab.e destruction. But for the timely assis-
tsnc, rendered it is difficult to say where the
flames would have been arrested, or how many
poor families would have been turned homeless
on the charities of the Town.
The fire of Thursday night broke ont in a
locality, and among material peculiarly adapted
to make widespread destruction, and but for
the prompt, well-directed efforts Of the fire de-
partment, such would doubtless have been the
result We have been lookers-on at fires 10
large cities, where paid fire Companies and
paid Police were supposed TO render all aid,
and to the credit of this fire organization we
can truly say that we never saw more eff
cient, better-governed body of men-respecting
private property, and Jealous to do their whole
duty-than this Company shows, aud, from
our citizens, they deserve something more than
mere thanks. Should property holders lose
twenty or thirty thousand dollars in some fire
likely at any time to occur-they would then
awaken to sense of their duty; but would
not that be locking the door after the horse
was stolen? To any one who will ask himself
what destruction either of these fires might
have done, had the nights been windy, and
then consider the inadequacy of the apparatus
of the Fire Company to prevent it, this appeal
will not be in vain. This Organization is made
up of our best young men-they have given
not only their time but largely Of their private
means to promote the efficiency of this body
No one receives single penny for his services
they certainly deserve to be we'll provided with
suitable apparatus
No more competent officers, or willing and
selfsacri6cing men could be found in any Towu
or City than those who make up this body
They deserve new Engine, Hose, and a Hook
aud Ladder carriage fully equipped the neces-
sity of which is evident to every one, knowing
anything about this periIous business We ask
you, as Town Corporation, Insurance Com
panies and individual property-holders, to move
in this matter Place In their hands suitable
apparatus, and We are not afraid to guarantee
that all which human hands, with human aid
can do to protect your homes, will be cheerful
II and promptly done.

1t should be distinctly understood that the
Income Tax law was repealed by Limitation on
the 3lst day of December, 1869. The tax now
being assessed is for the year 1869. After it is
paid no other income tax can be collected or as
sessed without the enactment of an entirely
neW law, which is not likely to be brought a.
bout. The repeal Of the old law is final and
unconditional. 1t takes effect as soon as the
