BORDER AGRICULTURAL FAIR.
The undersigned; appointed by the
Executive Committee of" The Border
Agricultural Society of Virginia and
North Carolina," to prepare an address
to the people of the border counties of
these two States, on the importance of
giving- increased interest to the next
Annual Exhibition of the Society, sub-mit
the following address to the public,
and especeially to the people of the
border counties of Virginia and North
Carolina:
FKLLOW CITIZENS :—The Executive
Committee of" The Border Agricultur-al
Society of Virginia and North Caro-lina/'
desire to call your attention to
the importance of annual Exhibitions
or Fairs, as an efficient agency in re
viviug the drooping spirits of our peo-ple
and of promoting the agricultural
interests of our Southern country.
It is believed that the First Agri-cultural
Fair in this place, gotten up
under much discouragement and with
many forebodings of failure, has done
much towards bringingabout this most
desirable result: and it is not doubted
that future Exhibitions of the kind
will contribute yet more to open the
eyes of our agriculturists, to their true
interests, to lead them to change their
system of cultivation and to the use of
the many improved implements of ag-riculture,
by which so great saving of
labor and expense may be effected.
The thousands of our countrymen
assembled on that interesting occasior,
where highly gratified by witnessing
the improvements recently made in
the leading agricultural and other
impiementa, now so urgently needed
by our impoverished people, to enable
them to contend successfully against
the difficulties which have recently
been brought upon us, by the sudden
and violent destruction of our long
established and well approved system
of labor; and their hearts have been
cheered by the prospect thus afforded
of lightening their burdens, by the in
(reduction and use of these labor-sav-ing
machines.
They there saw improved stock of
various kinds, the most luscious fruits,
and many elegant articles, the hand-work
of our ingenious, industrious and
thrifty housewives, who are always
foremost in every good work, thus
proving themselves examples worthy
to be followed by those who claim to
be "lords of creation," all of which was
encouraging in the highest degree, go-ing
to demonstrate that '• there is life
in the old land yet" and that nothing
but euergj' and enterprise is needed to
bring the two States which we repre-sent,
to their former condition of pros-perity
and power.
We would caution you,fellow-citizens,
against a desponding spirit—yield not
to that feeling of despair so natural to
persons in yonr down-trodden and
suffering condition ; but lookforward,
iu anticipation of a brighter and a
happier day.
We know the difficulty of persuad-ing
men in your circumstances to strug-gle
on in hope.
•'We hardly value Hope that bids us Strive,
Yet Hope's the child of Faith, and Faith makes
thrive
Each working soul that works," in earnest.
Then let us work in earnest to re-trieive
our fallen fortunes. Let us en-deavor,
by industry, economy and a
careful observation of the system of
management adopted by others, to
regain all that we have lost, and even
to become more prosperous than ever
before.
The experience of the last two years
must have convinced all, that there
can be no profitable culture of the earth
in the Southern States, without a
thorough and complete change of our
system of agriculture. Old customs
and old systems must give place to
new, and we must adapt ourselves to
our changed condition—we must be
progressive. We must learn the im-portant
truth that as iron muscles re-quire
neither food nor clothing and'
demand lower wages, inasmuch as one
man with them can do the work of five
without them, we must introduce and
use upon our farms, all those labor-saving
machines which the experince
of others may recommeud and ourjudg-ment
shall approve—thus dispensing
with all unnecessary and extra labor.
We must wisely adapt our crops to
our different soils and our manures to
our crops. We must introduce the
culture of other crops than we have
been accustomed to grow, thus diver-sifying
the productions of our farms
and so making them more profitable.
In short, we must resort to every
expedient to make those productions
exceed in value the cost of cultivation
and the amount of capital invested.
No one can persist in the present sys-tem
of operations, which in cost so
far exceeds the actual profits of farm-ing,
without becoming hopelessly in-volved
in debt. Our experience since
the war, has forced upon us the un-welcome
conviction that the cultiva-tion
of large farms in our formerly
slovenly and improvident way, will
absorb more than all the nett revenue
derived from our crops, and leaves us
in the condition of the unhappy Dutch
man who, having long employed a fel-low
countryman as a farm laborer, was
compelled every year to transfer to
him a portion of his land for pay for
wages due. The proprietor soon saw
that whilst he icus losing heavily by the
operation his employee was reaping all
the benefits, and he said to him, "Hans,
you shall hire mit me till poll pays my
land, den I will hire mit you till I pays
it all pack again."
This will be our sad experience ere
many years shall pass away, unless we
change our system of labor, diversify
our crops, adapt our crops and manures
to our soils and to each other, and
avail ourselves of the use of the many
labor saving machines which are so
well adapted to our present condition,
and which, happily for us, have recent-ly
been brought within our reach.
Now, to facilitate all this is the
province of agricultural societies and
agricultural fairs.
May we not, then, confidently ap-peal
to you to become life members of
" The BorderAgricultural Society" and
to patronize our next Annual Fair, by
the contribution of articles to be ex-hibited,
that you may thus incite others
to emulate the ingenuity and enter-prise
by which they have been pro-duced.
Our next Annual Fair, for the exhi-bition
of improved agricultural and
other implements, stock, fruits, vegeta-bles,
household fabrics and other ar-ticles
of manufacture, ladies needle-work,
&c. will commence in this place,
on Tuesday, the 20th of October next,
and we earnestly invite our farmers,
planters, manufacturers, mechanics
and housewives to begin, at once, to
prepare articles to be exhibited on that
occasion.
Competition excites emulation and
emulation leads to improvement if not
to perfection.
We say to all, that you have it in
your power to do much towards "re-moving
the pressure" and dispersing
the gloom which now hangs over us,
and introducing a new era of prosperi-ty
to the suffering people of the South.
Will you, can you withhold your
hands from an enterprise which pro-duces
such happy results f
We assume the responsibility of
answering for you, " JVW We are
confident that you will put your shoul-ders
to the wheel and aid us in push-ing
forward the car of reform and im-provement
and thus establish your
claim to be ranked bv your cotem-poraries
and by posterity, as benefac-tors
of jour race.
We are confident that this will be
your response to our appeal, and that
you will make our next Annual Exhi-bition,
yet more successful than our
last.
Although this address is intended
specially for the people of Virginia
and North Carolina, the Committee
hope that the farmers, mechanics and
manufacturers of every other portion
of our country will understand that we
invite their hearty eo operation. We
hope to receive from them many articles
for exhibition and other evidence of
their good will.
We take this occasion to express our
regret that the publication of a com-plete
list of the premiums awarded and
and the numerous articles of interest
offered for exhibition at our last Fair,
has been so long unavoidably delayed
by the loss of a portion of the records.
These, however, have recently been re-covered,
and the list will be published
in full, iu pamphlet form, in a few
days.
We hope to avoid in future, all such
delays and all other irregularities and
mistakes, which occurred at our first
Fair, and which grew out of our want
of experience in such matters.

Singular disease among horses.—Du-ring
the past few weeeks a singular disease
which baffles the skill of the best veterin-ary
surgeons, has been raging among the
horses in the town of Rye, in Westchester
couuty, New York. The disease attacks
the horses in the throat, and is accompa-nied
by the symptoms similar to those of
diptberia in the human family. Mr James
Morrison, has lost five horses, each valued
at $500, and other persons have suffered
from the same cause. A consultation has
been held by several eminent veterinary
surgeons, but noneot them have been able
to explain the cause of the disease.

A NEGRO PROPHET IN HAN-OVER
COUNTV, VA.
A correspondent of the Alexandria
Gazette thus writes from Hanover coun-ty,
under date of 6th of July : ''Early
yesterday morning, every road and by-path
of our lovely land was tilled with
hurrying crowds of men, women and
children of the colored race, wending
their way to the home of Baylor the
Prophet. Baylor is an old negro, who
has seen the Almighty face to face,
and talked with him as man talks with
man. He knows all things present,
past and future. He has wooden angels,
good and bad, which he keeps chained
in his domicile, who perform at his
bidding the most extraordinary feats,
and over whom he keeps vigils night
and day. He gives to all who ask it,
the body and blood of the Saviour.—
He has constructed a chariot in wineli
he sits, and from which he discloses
his wonderful visions and astounding
revelations, and in which he designs
to ride triumphantly to Heaven, like
Elijah of old. To this strange being
hundreds of the sons and daughters of
Africa, for miles and miles around,
were speeding their way, puffing, blow-ing,
fanning, seething and sweltering
beneath the melting rays of the July
sun, to drink in the streams of super-natural
wisdom which flow from Heav
en-inspired lips."
If negro supremacy should last five
years, Feticliism will become as uni-versal
among the negroes as it is
among the wild tribes of Africa, from
which they are descended. Nothing
but their constant contact with and
dependence upon the whites has kept
it under. It is bred in the bone of the
African, and, if left to himself, it will
be certain to break out.
THE NEGRO NORTHAND SOUTH.
In this country whenever negroes are
capable of exciting a sensible influence
on law-making, they are proscribed
from sharing iu Government. We de-mand
concession or successful contra-diction.
But this is not the whole scope and
significance of the truth. That this
unquestionable rule of American self
government is founded on a principle
not made by men, the energy and per-sistency
of which is impossible of res-traint,
witness the tremendous and
recent elections in Northern States.—
Connecticut, while governed by a Rad-ical
State administration, legislative
and executive, the State which led iu
time as in zeal in abolishing slavery
in New England, rejected the proposi-tion
to mingle with her hundreds of
thousands the feeble voices of a few
negroes. Wisconsin, too, certified her
disgust, under extraordinary practical
inducements to suppress it, and not
one to indulge it if it could be choked
down. Ohio, with the thunder of her
millions of tongues, shook the moun-tain
of hypoeracy with her irrepressi-ble
indignation when invited to mingle
the drops of negro will with the sea of
her own white one. And lastly, Mich
igan, a State in nine tenths of whose
election precincts a negro would be a
marvel and a show, and into whose se-vere
and cloudy climate but five hun-dred
of these beings have ever ventur-ed
to go, has declared her detestation
to be so great, that rather than tolerate
the bare name of negro citizenship she
would adjure the party -xhich ha4 car-ried
her in it* pocket, as it were, and
forego the adoption of a beneficient
constitution—the work of her own hand
—for her own local needs.
AVhat mean these astonishing facts?
Do they not write "abomination'- all
over the entire system of so-called re-construction
laws, culminating now in
the present measure! Do they not
declare that it is criminal to subject
white men to the government of ne-groes
? That such a scheme is as cer-tainly
doomed to a terrific retribution
as nature is fixed in her laws ! The
voice of Michigan is the protest of Al-abama,
of Mississippi, of all the South
em States, themselves gagged and
dungeoned by a hidious tyrauy.—
People of sister States, how say you:
Shall justice be done to the enslaved
white men of the South ?—Xational In-telligencer.

AHTOXOUSA KASTAXOPOULO is the name
of the Cretan girl who is fighting in the
revolution. She is nineteen years old,
cannot read, smokes cigarettes, is rather
pretty; and has five huudred men under
ber command.
Butler pays no taxes, if bis own decla-rations
may be credited. He said in the
House on Tuesday that " the unjust, the
rascal, the knave, the rebel, makes no re-tarn,
and escapes taxation."
THJi, RADICAL PROGRAMME.
As weffas we can gather from the
views expressed by the varions classes
of Radicals, we may infer that the suc-cess
of the Radical party is dependent
chieflynpon carrying out the following
" loyaF projects:
1st. The disfrauchisemeut of the
Southern whites.
2d. The elevation of the Radical nc
gro to ]>owcr.
3d, The mobbing from the polls of
Democratic negroes.
4th. The Dry Tortngns for Southern
Democrats.
tith. The hustile for witnesses who
will not testify to suit Butler.
6th. To mr.kc Chief Justice Chase
and the Seuatoral <• traitor8', odious,
and to place then- uauu-.s on the *' Roll
of Infamy."
7th. Tomake recanting rebels respec-table,
and to place their names on the
roll of saint s and martyrs.
8th. To silence the ¥ Copperheads."'
9th. To gag conservatism.
10th. To banish the Jews.
11th. To maintain the Freedmen's
Bureau and military commissions.
12. To make a general auto da fc of
the Catholics.
An adherence to every article of this
creed will be considered, in the new
dispensation, the true test of Radical
orthodoxy. When all its requirements
shall have been carried out, the Radi-cal
party will stand a reasonable chance
of retaining power, aud it may be con-sidered
that u It is the will of the peo-ple,''
if any i>eople shall then have been
left, that General Grant shall reign in
"peace," and that Dr. Breckinridge
shall be regarded as the Apostle of
"peace."—Louisville Journal.
REMARKABLE INVENTION.
A Northern paper describes a remark-able
invention of two young students of
the French Polytechnic School. It is a
lamp which burns under water without
any accessory machinery, and carries with-in
itselfthe requisite supply of gas. On
the 18th of June last, at night, a man in
the costume of a dfcer descended into the
sluice opposite the Mint (Paris), to tho
depth of eight feet, and carried with him
the lighted lamp. It continued to burn
beneath the water, and at the distance of
two yards the diver was able to mark with
a diamond on a piece of glass the date and
hour of the experiment. The Limp burn-ed
for three quarters of an hourin the wa-ter,
and when it was brought up to ths
surface it was still burning with a flame as
bright as ever. We are not surprised that
a result, so wonderful and unexpected, o-licited
the cheers of those present on tho
occasion—many members of the Institu-tion,
pupils of the Polytechnic and several
journalists. Not only will this invention
prevent the danger of explosions in mines
from firedamp but it will allow of search
for drowned persons or for property lost
by ship wreck, to be pursued with the ut-most
facility.
PROPOSAL TO MAKE THE NATIONAL
DEBT 100,000,000,000!—Senator Slier
man has introduced a bill to fuud the
whole debt bj_ issuing new bonds at
five per cent, interest, the bonds to IKS
redeemed in thirty or forty years. Tho
debt is $2,000,000,000. Five i>er cent,
a year on that is one hundred ami thirty
millions, and for thirty years would
be $3,900,000,000. Add the principal
to the interest and you have the enor-mous
sum of sixty-jive hundred million
dollars, which he proposes to levy on
this and the next generation, as the
legacy of the radical party, for trusting
that party with political power for
seven years. But that is not all. If
paid in gold, as he proposes, it would
add thirty-five per cent, to tho vast

A fact ivorth printing.—At a second
class hotel, at Frankfort, Ky., a few
days since a little girl entered the bar-room
and in pitiful tones told the bar
keeper that her mother sent her there
to get eight cents.
" Eight cents P said the bar keeper.
" Yes, sir."
" What does your mother want of
eight cents? 1 don't Owe her any-thing.*

" Well," said the child, "fatherspends
all his money here for rum and we have
no bread to day. Mother wants to buy
a loaf of bread."
A loafer suggested to the bar keeper
to kick her out.
" No," said the bar keeper, " I'll give
her mother the money, and if her father
comes back here again, I'll kick him
out."
Such a circumstance never happened
before and may never happen again.—
Humanity owes that bar keeper a vote
of thanks.
In compliance with the terms of the
Omnibus Bill, as it is called, the President
has issued a proclamation, announcing
that the Legislature of North Carolina has
ratified the pending amendment^ to the
Constitution, known as Article XIV. It
is the coolest and most refreshing docu-ment
we have ever seen. The whele ten -
or of it implies that, in his official capachvy
the President does not recognizes W. W.
Holden as Governor of North Carolina.
'•Writes himself Governor of North Car-olina!"
That is good, decidedly.—Sen-tinel.
