The Louisiana Middle.

1t seems now that the sMcEnery wing
of the Democratic party in Louisiana
are not satisfied with the result of the
primary election. in which Foster, the
AntiLottery Alliance Democratic candi-
date was declared the choice of the white
Democracy for Governor. 1t is alleged
that the Fosterites cheated in counting
the ballots and by corrupted returns
defeated the will of the people They
insist on his appealing to the people, and
the last statement was that he had
yielded to their urgent request. The
opinion is further expressed that wheth
err McEnery runs or not, the chance for the
election of Leonard, the Republican can
didate, is very good, or if McEnery's
friends are not allowed the privilege of
voti ng for him, they will either remain
from the polls or vote for Leonard. This
all grows out of the Lottery question, on
which the Democratic party is divided,
McEnery leaning to the Lottery and
Foster decidedly against it. The feel
ing of aninosity engendercd may ma
terially affect the result of the State
election, but we do not think it will be
felt in the Presidential election. The
Democrats will give the electoral vote of
the State to the Democratic nominee for
the Presidency.

Death Of a Minister.

Rev. J. J. Webster, presiding elder of
the East Baltimore. District M. B..
Church, was found dead in front of the
Ruffner Hotel, Charleston, on the 9th.
He had fallen from three story window
to the pavement. He left his home in
Baltimore on the Monday preceding,
and no tidings were known of him by
his family until notice of his death was
communicated to them. 1t is supposed
that in a fit of insanity he went off, and
while suffering mental distress and dis
ease killed himself. A card was found
on his person, on which was written,
Ruin, Dismay, Dispair" He had been
nnder treatment for nervousness and
mental trouble, yet attended to his min
isterial duties. He was recently married
to his second wife,

Held Responsible.

Some time ago the City National Bank
of Birmingham, Ala, began suit against
the Commercial Agency of r. G. Dun &
Co. to recover $5.564 46 lost on drafts
which the bank discounted for W. A.
Kits, lumber merchant of Oswego, N.
Y, on the alleged false representation
concerning the credit and financial
standing of Kits, furnished the Cons
mercial Agency by S. B. Burchard, their
representative. The case was decided
in New York on the 9Th after three
days trial, the jury finding verdict for
the full amount claimed, with interest.
This is the first case in which any com
mercial agency has been held liable for
false report sent out to a subscriber. In
all previous cases of a similar kind the
agency has been relieved of all response

Beet Industry.
sTAuNToN, VA, April I1th, 1852.

STAUNToN, VA, April 18th, 1852.
EDITOR VALLEY VlRGINIAN,
DEAR SIR:-We incose a circular as final
effort to secure sufficient beetS to make trial
of the soil and climate of Virginia for growing
beets. We expect to make a loss ourselves in
trying to make sugur-for the small crop we
shall get, won't run Us over twenty DAYS, and
our beet sugar machinery, &C. must remain idle
the rest of the year. Estimating the interest
and insurance on the cost of it, and the depre-
citation and wear and tear-a loss Of probably
$4,000 and certainly 5000, must certainly en-
sue-but we are so confident of the final result
that we are ready to learn the business at this
cost. If farmers viii grow at least 500 acres
they will reduce the loss must sustain. 1t
would seem though there might be at least
100 farmers who would be willing to grow hve
acres each and ship them to us, especia ~ when
we guarantee them as large profit as they will
make growing corn. Beets can be shipped to us
at the following rates per ton, in car loads:
Up to 25 miles,. .30cts per ton.
- ~ to q .......... ....5ncts per ton.
- Al to 100 :" ..............,.S0 ctS. per ton.
s. 100 to $50 ...............$l % per ton.
We believe with fair cultivation there is a
much better profit in growing beets than any
other crop Of the farm. The extra amount OF
fertilizer used and more thorough tillage i'm
proves the land-so that in Europe the yield of
wheat and other cereals has been increased q
per cent. to 30 per cent over whati it formerly
was. The total crop of wheat, &c, bearing more
than formerly, although one fourth or more of
the land is devoted to beets, which former
ly was devoted to wheat The expense of grow
ing wheat being about the same. 1t has en-
HANGED the price and actual value of all the
farming land as well as of labor, &C, in those
districts where beet culture has been inaugu-
rated.
We expect to grow from 100 to $50 acres our
selves on leased land-but we should have at
least 700 or 800 acres more to make fair test.
We bespeak good word from you on the sub
ject if you think the community will be bene-
fitted by establishing this needed industry.
In this circular we have agreed to remove all
possible objections on the part of the rover
If we can reasonably do more we should hay
done it. Respectfully,
O. X I;tPUAM 81 Co.

1t is quite amusing to the public to
have the only genuine democratic
newspaper in the city dragged before
q justice of the peace for debt, and its
pitiable poverty exposed to a hard
hcdk tCu
And yet it is just such poverty
stricken, hand to mouth political
sheets, that manufacture great and
good men out of well fed public off,
cisls, and schemlng, ambitious, poll
ticians, who take share of stock on
the quiet, and want their names as
shareholders not to appear of record.
The selfsacrificing publisher, the
starved editor, the poorly paid typo,
become the butt of ridicule, when in
fact the whole object of the publica-
ton was tn influence the public in
favor of certain local politicians in
order that they might reap the har-
vest of public offices to be voted on by
the people.
The stockholders of the News. the
prominent gentlemen who contribut.
ed various amounts to help out, feel
very much chagrined to have their
names exposed, yet they, were the
only beneficiaries and should come to |
the rescue of their organ.
Men who start newspapers should
go into the business in legitimate
way If they expect success. II re-
quires brains, labor and money to
print newspaper worthy of
public support, and it is the
reader who pays his nickel
or his monthly subscription that
makes the newspaper q success. The
paper that depends upon the charity

holders or public schemers In general,
is certain to come to grief.
