AUGUSTA CouNTY.-There were shipped from
the Staunton Depot, G. s. O. r., for the twelve
days ending on the 9th inst, two thousand and
fifty one barrels of four four thousand, six hun
dred and eighty nine bushels of wheat and four
thousand, one hundred and fifty five bushels of
oats. There were also sent off during that peri
cd large quantities of corn, corn meal green APP
pies, dried fruit of various kinds, butter, eggs,
poultry, whiskey tobacco, &c. The amount Of
money which these shipments represents at least
sac, O0O,the greater part Of which will be thrown
into circulation in this community.
There are six other Depots in Augusta county
on this line of r. Road three of which-Swoope's
Fishersvllea and Waynesboro-will fall very little
short of the Staunton Depot in the amount Of
freight sent off. We safely assume that there
has been sent from Augusta county, 100000
worth of produce of various kinds, within the
past two weeks. Estimating the shipments with
in that time TO be one fourth Of the surplus on
hand in the county, and we would have 100000
from marketable produce, to be di tributsd in the
business of our people.
ROCKINGHAM CouNTy.-At the Harrisonburg
Depot, on the Manassas Gap Railroad, fer the
ten days ending on the 4th inst, there were ship
ped 1OO67 bushels of wheat, 1,067 barrels of
-four, ,O75 bushels of corn, besides very con-
siderable quantity of oats, poultry, dried fruit,
butter, eggs, &c.
There are three other depots on this road, in
Rockingham county-Linville, Broadway and
Timbervile-all surrounded by fine grain
growing country, from each of which it is safe
to assume, that at least $4,000 worth ofproduce
was shipped in the same period. We are satisf-
ed chat we are below the figures when we state
that within the past two weeks, there have been
sent to market from that county $4,000 worth
of farm products and that we are within the
range of fact in putting this immense quantity
down as not more than one fourth of the surplus
in the county, including live stock and bacon
| This would throw into circulation, in that coun-
| ty, over thrte hundred thousand dollars in cash
| We call attention to this estimate in support of
| the statement we made last week, that Rocking
ham county to day, is in a more healthy condi-
4 ton, financially, than she was before the war,
and that all that is wanting to make her people
easy in money matters, is for each man, as fast
as the means comes into his hands, to start them
their mission OF liquidating debts. In this way
almost every debt in the county can be paid
Let the grand old county but awake up, and her
hardy yeomanry will show that they are equal to
every emergency.
! We know that "hard times has been the e.
frain for time past, but this was from the
fact that farm products were bringing scarcely
the cost of producing and consequently farmers
held back their surplus. But now that remuner-
alive prices are demanded, the supplies hand
are being CONVEX ed into the circulating medium,
and the wants of the people wi II be speedily met.
