yirgiuia's Farming Interests.

Hon Hoge Tyler, Lieutenant Govern
or of Virginia, gives the last number of the
| ''Sonthern Planter" his views as TO the
needs of the farmers of the State. He at
tributes the depre sed condition of this i'm
portsnt class to two causes First to the
want of currency circulation, and secondly y,
to too great taxation 10 proportion to the
income derived from the business.
"lu my Judgment" he says, "the people
ought not to be forced to manage to get
along with just enough for their bare crying
needs, thus lowering the values of all prop
critics, but should have it freely enough t.
stimulate healthyand active business, even
If not strict metallic basis. The govern
ment should, of course, put silver and gold
on N equal footing"
With reference to taxation he declares
that tour State and county tax is more than
| one per cent. on assessments, and talk as
they please, Chose who are not identified
with US. agriculture is not paying two per-
cent How can we stand it ? Impossible.
my recent canvass through greater part
of this State enabled me to see even more
clearly than befo the distressed and dis
tressing condition of our rural population;
much of the land is virtually abandoned aud
| is becoming the abode of the wi d deer and
the fox, and this seems to be rapidly on the
increase, except in few rich and favored sec
tons, and the disastrous seasons and low
prices are demoralizlng the most favored.
We had better tell the truth and let wise
legislation check this state of things if pos
sible."

At last we began the use of Ayers Sar-

scenery, is now attracting the atten.
ton of capitalists who are DESTROYS
of investing capital. Not only have
the officers of the Confluence and
Oakland railroad determined to
complete their road to this place in

come aware of the fact that Oakland
is destined to be one of the most en-
terprising and money-making cities
in Western Maryland. Hotels are
being erected in abundance, and on
last Thursday an Eastern business
man came here for the purpose of Sc
curing ground Oh which to build a
large steam tannery. He examined
the property of Mr.. John Helbig.
and expressed himself as being well
pleased with it. We hope the gen.
tleman will come to Oakland. for we
are satisfied that he could not find 4
better location for his industry than
this, not only on account of the rail.
road facilities, but for the cheap pur-
chase of all material necessary for
the manufacture of leather. Oakland
is bound to boom, and those locating
