The Com merce of Richmond.

We are gratifed to hear from all quarters,
that the commerce of Richmond is rapidly in
creasing. There has always been an active
trade between Augusta and Richmond, but it
has generally been in produce and groceries. -
We regret to say that the principal trade OF
our merchants, III dry goods, hardware and
fancy articles has been with Baltimore. This
ought not to be so, and we hope will not con-
tinue to be so.
The great obstacle to an active commercial
intercourse between Staunton and Richmond
is, the onerous charges On the Chesa. q Ohio
R. R. The passenger fare between the two
cities is $660-or five cents per mile! This
is almost prohibitory Our Richmond friends
ought to look to this. IF the charge were re-
duced about ne-haIf. so that merchant could
go to and return from Richmond for ebout the
sum above named, it would give an immense
impulse to the trade Of Richmond. Ten Of
our merchants would go there where one does
now. But when man finds that the round
trip will cost him $I3 60, be pauses. He feels
irritated at the extortion, and finding that he
SrsH 80 ~ SailAEIIOiS iUI d lew CcttS iuOIS
to Richmond, he prefers going to the larger
market where he expects larger and more va
ried stocks Of goods.
The present r. r. charges are an ipvidious
discrimination against our own Richmond In ia
vor Of her commercial rival This discrimina-
ton has deprived Richmond of large portion
of the trade Of the Valley, ard If the policy is
not changed, the produce and grocery trade
will also go to Baltimore when the Valley r.
r. shall be completed.
1t seems TO us that the Richmond merchants
should address themselves promptly and ener-
geticaly to the.reduction of fares and freights
between Stauuton and Richmond
1t is much easier to retain trade which now
exists than to regain it after it shall have been
lost. When the habit Of sending our produce
to Baltimore shall have become fixed and bus
mess relations established with the grocery and
produce merchants Of that city. it will be very
difficult to recover the trade or sever the rela-
tons Sound policy dictates that Richmond
should not only seek to hold on to what she
has, bat to invite new trade and more intimate
relations, by increased facilities of intercourse
What say the business men of Richmond?-
What say the officers Of the Chesapeake &
Ohio R. R. Company?

Conservatives. Awake. Arise !

Lit would seem that the majority of Conser-
natives do not appreciate the situation, and are
not at all aware of the danger which impends
over the State. They seem to be asleep, whol-
ly unconscious Of the fact that, unless they
arouse themselves and go actively to work, the
Radical party will carry the next Legislature,
and perpetrate 10 this State such outrages up
on the rights and interests of the people as
have characterized their legislation in other
Southern States where that party dominates. =
This is not the expression Of groundess fear,
but it is the sober truth; and it becomes the
Conservatives to heed the warning in time, be-
fore it will be too late to avert the DANGER
The Conservatives are slumbering in a false Sc
curity-and the fear is that they will not awake
to sense Of the danger till it will be too late.
Should this evil fall upon them they will have
none to blame but themselves, for it will be
the result Of their own lislessness and indiffer-
ence. The Conservatives should be not only
united, but vigilant and active. They should
be at work, arousipg to action those who, un-
conscious of the danger, are reposing in false
and delusive security The Conservatives have
the strength, if properly exerted, to save the
State harmless, but it will be of no avail I'M
less unitedly put forth with ''strong pull a
long pull, and pull all together" 1.-The
Philistines be upon thee Samson" IF the
Conservative Samson reposes much longer up
on the lap Of Delilah his strength will be gone,
and he will awake to fnd himself grinding in
the prison-house of the Radical Philistines =

prenare for Action.

1t is said whom the Gods wish to destroy
they first make mad" The Anaconda is said
to paralyze its victim before devouring him.
The Conservative white voters of Augusta
seem to be demented To ali appearances, they
are in state Of Indifference amounting to stu
por. Are they prepared for defeat in the COM
ing election, and for the political destruction
which will be the sure result of defeat? Have
they been charmed by the radical anaconda,
and can they not be aroused before they are
hopelessly crushed in his folds?
1t is with deep modification that we learn
many white voters in Augusta have sold them
selves to the radicals, are pledged to help the
negroes put down the white people in the false,
delusive hope Of obtaining from Congress com
pensation for property destroyed by the Fed
eral army during the war; Alas, that the mer
cenary spirit of Judas Iscariat had not dice
with him 4! And we hear there are many Con
sentative voters standing aloof from the organ
ization adopted by the recent Conservative
State Convention at Richmond, because, per
chance, they do not want 10 bind themselves tt
vote against the radicals-do not wish to fee
bound to support the nominees Of the conserva
tive party. Has any body heard Of radica
who is not willing to subscribe to the programme
laid down by the radical convention in Rich
mond last week, even without knowing what
that programme is? Has anybody heard of a
single black or white radical who is not willing
to say in advance that he will support the nom
inees of his party?

The negroes and their allies, they deserve tht
worst fate that can befall tbem-they deserve
worse fate than has befallen the white people
of South Carolina, because they would helF
themselves if they could.
White men Of Augusta have you lost the spirit
which animated you in 1869 when you expur-
gated the obnoxious clauses from the Constitu-
ton, elected Walker Governor, and a Conser
vative Legislature which has given US a Con
sentative judiciary? You do not know what il
is to be under radical rule. If you did you
would not hesitate to pursue the course which
has been marked out. For Heavens SAKE

Enroll your names at once in the Conservative
army and resolve that Victory shall again perch

Enroll at Once.

The Conservatives of this and other counties
will at once appreciate the Importance of hav-
ing their names enrolled, as required by the
plan of organization adopted in the State Con-
vention, when they consider the fact that none
but such as shall be thus enrolled will be en-
titled to participate in the meetings or Conven-
tons ofthe party, or be the recipients ofany hon.
ors it may bestow. All should enroll them
selves as soon as possible, so that all may be
equally entitled to participate in the meetings
of the party, and to be in an attitude to be eli
gible recipients of its honors. The member:
of the Conservative Convention and the nomi
nees of that body must be enrolled members
of the Conservative party. Call at once upon
your Leaders of tens and enroll your names.
In this connection, we invite attention to the
following extract from the plan of organization
adopted in the recent Conservative State Con-
vention:
1.-THE registered voters willing to unite in this
organization will be formed into tens, In each
of which one will be leader; the trolls OF
ten shall be returned to the Superintendent
of the county or city, and shall by him be pre-
served and registered according to the organi-
Zation.
The persons so enrolled and returned, togethe,
aoih the officers, shall constitute the soorhfag or
qanisatlon of the Conservative party IA Var-
giiniia, and By them and from them all party
nominations shall be made.
It will thus be seen that the members Of the
nominating convention must be enrolled, and
that the nominees must also be of the number
enrolled in the working organization of the
party.

The Coming Contest.

As the Richmond Whig forciby says, ''the
coming contest is a war of honesty against
fraud-purity against corruption in Office; 8
war for the dignity, honor, prosperity and hap
piaess of nation. It is a war against giver
Of gifts and receivers of largess; war against
spectators and peculators 10 public Offices; 9
war against nepotism, tyranny, oppression; a
war against violatoTs of public morals and con
stitutional obligations war against thieves
and plunderers; o war against men who have
disgraeed the nation.
La this crusade we call upon all who would
exchange fraud for honesty, corruption for pu-
rity; all who would promote the honor, digni-
ty, prosperity and happiness of the whole peo-
pie all who would drive from power both Civ
ers and receivers of gifts, spectators and plum
derers in office all who hate nepotism, tyran-
by and oppression, the violators of public NOR
ais and legal obligations; all who would brand
as Infamous those who have tainted the public
name and honor With disgrace, to join in with
us. Come onel Come all to the rescue. =
Lay aside all other questions of disagreement,
and let US, with one accord make one united
effort to return the government into honesta and
efficient hands. 7ge8aa assal 9ees3 aobf asa.

4 Word Of Ezhortation.

1t will be seen from the notice published in
another column, that the committee composed
of representatives from all our townships, are
invited to meet at the Courthouse On Saturday
next, the 7th instant, to perfect the organiza-
ton of the Conservative party, and to fix the
day for electing delegates to the County Con-
yention and for holding the Convention.
We presume the election will probably be
held about Saturday, the 14th and that the
Convention will meet about Saturday, the 2lst
inst
The Convention cannot we'll be delayed long
er, because the State election is to be held on
the 18th day Of November, and the day we have
suggested for holding the Convention will leave
but little more than two weeks for the candi-
dates to make known, and the people to under
stand, the issues Of the canvass
We trust that when the Convsntion assem-
bles it will act with such wisdom and caution
as to ensure proper selections and general ap-
proval. There must be no boiling the regular
nominations. Selfish men who think their own
election to office more important than the gen.
erai welfare and may be disposed to present
themselves as independent candidates, should
be Indignantly rebuked by the people The
crisis is too important to admit of any expert
ments of this kind The people of Augusta
have solemuy adopted the plan Of organization
recommended by the late Conservative Con-
yention in Richmond, and they are in honor
bound to stand by it. Every man should fair
~ and squareiy submit his claims to the Con-
ventlon, and honestly and in good faith, sup
port Its nominees. All Conservatives should
stand shoulder to shoulder The Radicals will
spare neither time, labor, nor money, to ensure
success. The old idea which used to nnreva;l
