which the English of 1861 '65 witnessed
the heroic struggle maintained by their
southern kinsmeb against six fold odds OF
numbers and odds of position. resources,

those who from sympathy With the North

of great nation revolving against real
tyranny, could not but feel proud of our
near kin$hip with that parable

contest such as no other race has ever in

all hope was gone, held for six months,

among the various nations of the ArY3n

An Argument in Favor of Virginia

Everybody knows that Illinois is tho great
est compromising State in the Union, Mime
sofa the first wheat State east OF the Rocky
mountains, and New York the FIRST hay Sta,e
but it is not generally known that Virginia
surpasscs these states in Che value per acre Of
their respective crops. The report Of the De-
partmont Of Agriculture for 1876 shows that
the corn crop per acre was worth $7.75 in
illinois add 50 30 il Vireinia that the wheat
crop was worth $765 per acre in Minnesota
and $500 in Virginia; and that the hay CROP
was worth $l2s8 per acre in New York and
SI727 in Virginia The average value Of
land being less than half that Of New York
and much less than that Of Illinois or Mime
sofa. IL will DO fcea that the percentage Of
profit to the farmer Is much greater In Nir-
eiuia than in the Northern or Western States.
