for the mean task of railing at the reputa-

Virginia, in returning from sectionaiism
to nationalism, has but to resume that place
beside Grant which she occupied at the side
of jackson. AS this is not . day for back

November, 1873, retrace the step which
she took in November, 1872. Her people
fondly desire that their state shall recover
that great consideration in. the Union which
was accorded her in the first half century

THE SECOND POLICE DIsTRIcT.z-
The new station-house in the second po-
lice district has been completed and Cap

new quarters yesterday. We have already

poses for which tits designed. The reoc-

the occasion Of most elegant banquet at
Monticello Hall last night, to which many
prominent city officials and citizens were
invited. Four long tables were bountifully
spread with all the substantial and sdelica-
cies Of the season. Every thing was ar
much credit upon the committee who had
charge of the affair, which was. composed
Of Captain John Disney, Sergeant George
w. Folkes, and privates E. P. Hulse, A.
T. Walton, Henry Charters, and @. De
Priest. The tables were handsomely de-
corated with flowers, &C., and were
presided over by Mayor Kelley,
Judge White, Mr.. Thomas II. Wynne,
and Major Poe. After the more substan.
tial portion of the feast had been dis
cussed by the company, wines and other
liquors were served to those who INDUCED.
and several hours of social conviyiality en-
sued. Everything passed off pleasantly
and harmoniously, the only thing which APP

corr0borates, to the efficiency and activity

LOCAL MATTERS.

/ The APPROACHING STATE FAIR. :
The executive committee Of the State agri'
cultural society held a meeting last night
w. H. +. Lee in the chair. Mr.. Thomas
Branch of this city, and Major w. Il
Sutherlin, of Danville, were appointe d
delegates to the National Agricultural Con.
gress, which meets at Indianapolis on the
4th Of next month. Colonel Withers was
then added to the delegation.
The president stated that the former ar
rangements of the society with the four
railroads centreing here were continued. y
Mr.. Nowlin, Of Fauquier, offered the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unanimous
~ adopted: y
Resolved, That this committee have
heard with pleasure Of the action Of the
citizens of Richmond looking to co-opera-
ton on their part with the State society
in the approaching fair, - : I.
Resolved, That the committee ontpre-
MUM list be instructed to confer with the

rangements as will afford the amplest facili-
ties for carrying out the commendable OBJ
ject had in view By the citizens Of Rich

I. The committee then went into the revi-
sion and correction of the premium list as
reported by the committee. Section LIST
was so amended, on motion of Colonel
Harrison, as to give the premium for
the largest crop raised on any kind Of
land. 4s sEa h
TWAS further determined that as tie
time of the annual fair was too early for
planters to season, strip and prepare tobac-
co properly to compete for the prizes
offered, the award Of premiums be made
at the quarterly meeting Of the executive
committee in January, 1874, and that con-
testants have their samples and statements
as early as possible at the Office
of the secretary Of the society. 8 w

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

When the North west Indiana confer.
ence had undor consideration the Indiana
Asbury University, Bishop Simpson said (;
"amid the charges, first and foremost, we
should rally to the public schools. The
State owes it to itself to educate her
children, and trust the time will come
when not a child shall be deprived of the
benefit of the public schools. But after
passing your public schools, you should
send them to the university now open to
your sous and daughters. When you
send them to the other schools, you lose
them to Indiana, and sometimes to the
Church, Send them along with their
brothers to be educated"

AN ITEM FOR TEACH ERs

We notice that teachers in many Of
the schools do not provide themselves
with books. When a class is called the
teacher iakcs book from one Of the pu.
pills. Every teacher should have on his
table spelling book, dictionary, a
copy of each of the readers, arithmetics
&c. In hearing classes the te cher needs
some of those. aud all of them should be
at his hand for review. The teacher
must study as we'll as his pupils.
