GEN. JOHN S. PREsToN's ADDRESS. -
We are Indebted to the courtesy of the
writer for copy of this address, delivered
In November last, before the State Agri.
cultural Society of Virginia. This ad-
dress will be read with much interest by
Gen. Preston's friends, both in Virginia
and South Carolina. It will be found
eloquent and able. Gen. Preston ad-
dresses the people of Virginia in the ac-
cents of son pleading mothers cause,
and mother scarred with the grievous
"ouuoo VI Wal. I1o taxes the ground
that it is the duty of the faithful sons of
"the old Dominion" to re-establish the
fortunes of their old commonwealth, and
most truly doee he hold that industrial
vigor and energy is the only mode of
warfare whereby this result can be
achieved. Referring to history, Gen.
Preston traces the birth of LIBERTY, its
development and its illustrations, and
claims that this is tho Virginian's right
full inheritance. And rs to the means
whereby this Inheritance is to be won,
he is clear and decided. Ho urges his
hearers to look to agricultural improve
ments, to white immigration, to improved
machinery, to tho uso of fertilizers, to
the building Of railroads, canals and
country roads" He places tho proper
stress upon agricultural education, and
shows the paramount importance of what
has been called 1.-The noblest employment
