The County Agricultural Fair closed
yesterday. and drew quitea crowd to Lees
burg. The eShi6itaon was a very credita-
BILE one. The display OF horses was par
ticularly good, and gave cheering indica-
ton that the old county is recovering from
her losses in that line by the war; The
cows, sheep, and hogs exhibited, both ma
tive and imported, were of tine quality. ,s
Major Sutherlin's address was replete
with instruction. and gave general satisfac-
ton. The sudden death of DIR. Thomas
Clagett Of heart disease on the first day of
the Fair cast a gloom over the town, where
he had spent Q long and useful life.
Hog cholera is prevailing extensively
through the county-laany persons have
lost their whole stock, and that, too, after
they had been fattened for market or home
consumption. r-ss
Responsible parties have been empowered,
TO establish national bank in Leesburg,
with authority to increase the capital stock
TO Sl50,000: the requisite amount, $50 900 to
organize the bank, having been already
subscribed. . z. - a.
The hearts of our people throb in unison
with the common heart of the country in

Col. ALBERT ORDwAY, the Consery alive

ut the close of the war took up f.neir abos, .

Ahe" "' well that the iron-clad oath on
lne o.,e hand and the negro vote on the
our-er openedsa wide and rich field of plum
der for them, and they were not slow to
thrust their sickles into the golden harvest.
They have been to the South an Egyptian
plague. Like locusts they came, and Ike
!ocusts they have devoured the fruits OF our
land.
But there was another and nobler class
of northerners, who, when the bloody
strife terminated, ceased to indulge any
longer in the angry excitements which had
been awakened, refused to join in they
dictive persecution of helpless, sorely-
stricken people, and, inspired by the kindly
instincts Of our nature, come and dwell
among us not oinsult or to plumber US, but
TO pursue in all honesty md friendliness
their various industries in the business
walks of.life. They have become perma-
aent residents and valuable citizens in our
communities, and constitute worthy ele-
ment Of our society. These are men that
our people delight to honor. Such men as
Gov. Walker, and Col. Albert OrdWay, and
Gen. milford, and numerous others that
Knight be named, are sure to attain in a
their intelligence and liberality entitle them
to. The election of Col. Ordway would be
an honor to his district.-Petersburg Cotl-
