CONRAD AGAIN.

Mr.. Conrad in reply answered Mr.. Wise
point by point. and OF the iIcnkcl bill he
said the Ccdii1onisiS claimed the credit Of
having passed the school bill. He then gave
its history. lie said that Mr. IIcnkel was
the sole author OF it. and that none OF it
had been ever formulated in the brain OF
Sen,tor Rlddlcberger. Mr.. llcnkcl had
told him i'm the last few days that Riddle
berger had never seen it until il had been
introduced by him in the House, and that
after he had done 50 Riddleberger came to
him and urged that it should not be forced
to a vote, for, il il was, il would disas-
trously affect the Reidinster party. Now
the Coalition party claimed the credit Of
it. Mr.. Conrad in closing his speech
said that there was question that
he wanted TO ask Captain Wise,
and that was il the National Republican
party in convention was TO nominate Chess
ter A. Arthur for President and the Demo-
cratic party was to nominate Mcdonald, OF
Indiana, or Thomas +. Bayard, Of Della
ward, which would he vote fOr' Captain
Wise stated in his reply that he would vote
for Arthur every time.

Mr.. Wise said that he would do Mr..
Conrad The justice Of saying that his
speech was manly and to the point, and he
trusted that those that he had delivered
before had been, and would deliver here
after would be. rs dignitied and a. free
from abuse. The Democrats, he said.
should not be trusted in their declaration
Of the settlement OF the public debt, for
their change Of base was too sudden.
The tenor Of his speech was rehaSh OF
measures that he claimed had been bencf-
cial to the people. II was. he asserted,
through the passage OF bills and measures
under The management Of the Coalition
party that capital had been brought
into the State which had caused to be
opened up the mineral resources Of the
State and built many miles Of railroad. A
Coaitionist ofice-holder said that John
Wise was the best dodecr and the best
anccdote-teller he had heard Tor years.

fCorrespondence OF the Richmond Disnatch.I
Louisa COURTHOUSE, October (, 1855.
To-day was memorable day in the his
tory OF the good county OF Louisa. AT an
early hour Of the morning the people be-
gan 10 assemble on the court-green, com.
ing even from the most remote portion oil
the county on horseback and in all sorts
OF vehicles. The crowd numbered In all
several hundred. There were also quite q
number from Orange, Fluvanna. and other
adjacent counties. Conspicuous In the
gathering j noticed d.. Terrell. who Is
ninety-one years old. The reason OF such n
gathering was TO hear the joiut discussion
between Hon. Holmes Conrad and Captain
John s. Wise.
The discussion was conducted on the part
of both speakers with the utmost decorlm
and courtesy. The terms OF the discussion
were that Conrad was to open in one hour;
Wise TO follow in one hour and quarter;
Conrad thirty minutes, and Wise to close.
Mr.. CONRAD OPENS.
Mr.. Conrad made a vigorous exposition
OF the history OF the two parties in this
country. showing how Radicalism was the
party Of monopoly aud Democracy the
party Of the people. He showed that the
real issue in Virginia to-day was between
Democracy and Stalwart RcpubIcanism.
and that Malone had covcnanted with the
stalwarts TO deliver over to them the cleo
toral vote OF Virginia. lie reviewed caus.
ticly and pon.edly Mahone's legislation
and the various Ubiquitous measures, such
rs the commissioD,T-of-sa bill, that
the Coalition party had sought to fasten
upon the people. He also made it
so plain that none could fail to see
that another most iniquitous thing was
the endeavor to force through the LegiSla-
ture bill TO have printed all OF the general
laws IN Coalition newspapers in which they
were TO be paid two cents per line, the OBJ
iect OF which was TO make them Scii-suS-
tanning. Mr.. Conrad also referred to the
caucus pledge which had been required by
Malone OF each representative elected TO
the Assembly, and charged that no man
who had taken ii could discharge his
representative duty in the passage OF bill
or measure without first consulting Ma
homes wishes.

General Wickham then denounced the
coalition party for perverting all the offices
IN the State to party purposes, especially
emphasizing the danger to the free-school
system OF the course that party had adopt
ed' OF making it matter OF political Guali-
ncatlon for public-school teacher and
working the system entirely for political
ends. He then showed the "Jersey

Our city authorities have not yet quarantined
against jacksonville, and 9 number Of refugees
from that city, fleeing from the small pox, are
domiciled at different places in Tallahassee We
are decidedly in favor of a rigid quarantine.
Smallpox may not spread here in the summer
but let the germ of the disease be lodged in the
community now, and there is no telling what
may be the fearful result of its Judgment on the
approach of cold weather. 1t is possible that il
might prevail here all next winter, and thus vr-
tually cut this section off from the benefits and
advantages we hope TO receive from The increased
tide of immigrants and tourists that will flow
into Florida. A few cases brought here now
may SOW the seeds. of a loathsome disease that
would keep our hotels closed all next winter and
make Tallahassee place to be dreaded and
Stunned by all. And herein lies jacksonville
great danger The disease has gained foot
hold there, and if it is not entirely eradicatcd
during the summer when cool weather Genes
it may appear in its most viruent fo:m. become
epidemic and that metropolis thereby be isolated
by rigid quarantine in all directions.
Yes, we are in favor of quarantine-rigid
quarantne-at once. 1t won't do to tqke any
risks on smallpox

Last week a word of caution was given 10
truck growers as TO the importance of not dig
ging potatoes until they are fully ma'ured. And
now word or two as to shipping.
1t isimportant that shippers should thoroughly
acquaint themselves with the days and hours of
sailing of steamers and govern themselves &C.
cordingly. Experience has already shown that
it is unsafe to expect truck to arrive at the ship
ping port in time TO be transferred unless too uN
days intervene between the time of shipping and
the time of sailing of the Ship and even when this
is the case there is no certainty that connection
will be made We are bound to say, for the in
formation OF those concerned, that the present
transportation facilities are inefficient and unsat-
isfactory. Many persons have shipped as they
supposed on time and found that their shipments
had either been delayed or sent forward by an
other route, thus injuring the truck in the one
case and increasing the cost in the other Ger
tain kinds of vegetables like beans, peas, toma-
toes, cabbages, &c. are not unfrequently rendered
comparatively valueless by delays. We have
known of shipments for Boston, for example
that went via New York, after being DELAYED at
Savannah which could not be sold on arrival at
Boston at anyprice. Shipments have been made
to Baltimore that went round by New York at
an increased cost to the shipper of IS or 80 per
cent besides arriving at last in poor condition
Transportation companies not always TO
blame IN such cases and should not be held &C
countablc, but shippers will find fault, and very
properly, if their shipments arrive before a
steamer sails and not transferred at once, no
matter how short time may be left for transfer
from the train to the boat, When heavy expense
has been incurred in growing truck the grower
cannot be expected to laugh over his loss when
this has been caused by Indifference or want OF
diligence on the part of the carrier.
On the whole, we think that shippers had bet
ter ship by express. The additional cost is but
ten cents barrel, while the comparative GER
tainty of shipments arriving in time is worth
more than the difference between the cost by
freight and express. The express charge per
barrel is one dollar to New York Philadelphia
Boston or Baltimore by freight the charge is
ninety cents. The express will take no pack
ages for either of these points unless satisfied that
barring accidents, connection can be made in am
pie time with the boats on their respective sail
ing days, while the freight train takes packages
at all times, but believe that shippers are
generally advised as to the boats by the depot
agent

Mr.. T. J. Roberts, of Centreville, one of the
successful big cotton planters of Leon county
since TIE war, is one of the men who last year
went into the vegetable industry with much re-
uctance. Meeting with great success the first
season, however, he increased his acreage this
year. and, with a very poor stand. the yield Of
his present crop is immense.
During the last four days of the past week he
shipped 466 barrels, and will ship in the neigh
borhood of $50 barrels more.
On Saturday morning his caravan of eleven
wagons passed down Monroe street, carrying
over 100 barrels of potatoes to the Tallahassee
depot. A flag floating from the front vehicle
bore the significant inscription Potatoes vs..
Cotton"
From scventy.seven hundredths of an acre
Mr. Roberts has dug 66 barrels Of shipping pOta-
toes this season He has one hundred acres
staked off for his potato patch next year, and
says he is determined TO ship one hundred
barrels of potatoes from single acre, and, under
favorable circumstances, we believe he will do
50.
We predict that few years hence one hun
dred barrels of Irish potatoes to the acre will be
an ordinary yield on the productive lands OF
Leon county Stick pin here.
