The Virg'inia MI(lan(l Exteiloin. A convention of dologatc3 from the Counties along the propoped lino for the extension of the Virginia Midland Railroadw', w1a held at Winston, N. C. last week. Jelegates were present, Iromn Sparta:n b urg, Green:ville,L~au ronsl and Anderson coiitics in this Sto. Greenville and Anderson counties aro making 'stronig (.'florts to soeClro the road, Whie Spartaunburg and La uo'ns aro oiCOl)dentily exerting themselves for the road by Spartanburg and Liaurons, to conneet :", Greenwood with tliO .Augus11ta and~ Gr'eenwood Road1(. This will likely be thc routo deOcided upon, though no dlefinI)ito no tien as to the location) of the0 roadl hats yet boon decided upjon). There was nover bef'oro such a1 movement in railroad circles as at this present time, and many rumors arc floating in the air as to probable combinations and the building of nowj roads. It is stated that if the Midland conneots wiuth the Augusta and Groonwvood, they wvill also make a oonnectioni with A tlanta, by building a no~w roadl via Anderson Cour t H ouse an d A Lhenrs, G orgia, and)( that thie A tlanitic anhd French Broadl Valley, and the Blue Ridge r'outes are to becomon iminportan t links in a grand railro:id system fromu the No0rth west to ou r sea coast. WV h at ever thle result of those rumors may be, it is ovident to our mind that all the important railroads in this Stato, and in fact nearly all the Southern States, have fallon into the hands of monopolist, who intend to run thorn in the interest of the "syndicate," and not in the interest of the peooplo, Already, we are informed, freights have been puht 1up onl the Air Lino and Columbia nnd Greenville Roads, ared whoe they will finally go to when the monopoly is mado complete it is hard to tell. It will all end, we think in forcing the building of competing lines, or' a terrible fight of the people against the monopolies. One or the other of' these results seem inevitable, but which one time alone can demon strate. Rev. J. I. lBon ner, President of the Duo Wecst Female College, and editor of the Associato Reformed Prosby, terian, died at his residenoe at lDuo West on last Friday. Hie was an able, earne)st divine, and his death is a groat loss to the church which ho so nocoptab~y and ably represented. TJho lHon. M. P.

A desperate encounter took place at Allendalo in this State, on the 28th ult., betwoon William Priestor and~ Henry Prioster, faither and son.

The old man will dio, and the younfg man has disappeared. a Butler and Burnside. In the debates in tho Sonato recent ly Senator Butler had the floor. "The real question bofore the Son ate," said Mr. Butlor, in the courso of' a few remarks with which he followed Mr. Fry0's Phili ppio "is: Has there been a disgracefurlbargain In the Son ato by which the offices of the Senato tire proposed to be turned over to somebody ls0." At thio Rurnside got very mad, and jumped up and pounding his desk with his fist and prancing around like an old spavinod horso in a yellow jackets nest, doclar ed the statement falso! f'alse Senator Butler retained his self composure and after having a good deal of fun at Burnside's expenso went on with his speech. The following day Burnside made the amende honorable and said: It was very far from my mind, as far as anything could be, to imputo por sonal untruthfulnoss to anybody on that side of the chamber, much loss the Senator from South Carolina, with whom my relations have boon always of tho most friendly naturo, peculiarly so, and I would bo the last man on this floor to imputo0 to him any per sonal dishonor or any personal un truthfulness. Anybody, no matter who ho is, anywhoro in this country, who draws any other infrenceo from what I then said, draws a wrong ins forenco, and I do not thinic lie is borne out by the languago.

The tables givon below aro the first of the kind made up by the United States Census Bureau from the returns of last year, for any State and. were furnished In advance by special re quest to our indotatigablo Commission. er of Agriculture, Col. A. P. Butler. It will be soon that the total nnm. bor of acres cultivated in cotton, corn and small grains is,3,090,972, which is 80,442 acres more than all the "impro-. ved land" in the Stato in 1870. The product of cotton is 510,490 bales, ag ainst 224,500 in 1870, a gain of about 130 por cent. In corn the increase is from 7,614,207 buehols in 1870 to 11,0% 763,729 bushels in 1880, or, more than 50 por cent. In oats the tables show 2,715,443 bushels against 613,593 bushol8 in 1870, or in other words, the ont product of tho Stato has multi plied moro than fourfold in ten years. In whoat tho increaso is trom 783,610 bushels in 1870 to 962,431 bushole in 1880, or nearly 20 per cent. The United States Agricultural Re port, for 1879 shows that tho average yield of cotton per acre for all the cotton States in that year was 188 pounds. Thlio smallest yield in any county of this State for 1880 is in Beaifort where it is reported at 362, and that, it must be remombored, is long staple cotton. The averago yield of corn per acre in the United States in 1879 was 29 bushels; tho average yield in this Stato for 1880 is only 9 bushels por acro, which shows how much room there is for improvoment in our iethiods of cultivation. Tho avera:ige yield of wheat for 1879 was 18.8 buhe0s; tho averago yield in this SLtAo for 1880 it given as 5.6 bushols.

W AshINGTON, A pril 25 1881. Thore has been music in the Posts office Dopartment for some days past, and the concert is not wholly over yet. Enough has boon developed, however, to cause the retiremont of' Second Assistant, Postmastor-Geneoral Brady, and to make others in the con tract division shake in their boots. The star route mail service has boen a prolific source of agitation for some time. When Mr. Brady came before the last Congress with a big deficien cy bill for this service, things looked very suspicious, and something of a stir was made. The REouse Postoflico Cornmittee instituted an investigation and for weoks the publio prints wore full of the matter. People capable of putting two and two togethbor hear'd enough at that time to satisfy them that there was a large sizeu AIfrican in the woodpile somewhere, but CJon.. gross took no further action on the subject, The lobby was well greased and it was admittod that Brady had excoeded his authority in thus creat-( ing a large dofncioney, but they said no wrong had been done. One roas, on of this mild treatment at the hands of Congress was that many cogrss-. mon bad been un wnil n,.n..a ...:h additional postal facilities in their dii. r'ets and otherwise "conciliated" that they *ore not in a position to render judgment. When tho now administration came i 0, an ilivosfigation was set on Ioot which Is said to have developed some gly facts Specifo information bear ing on the subject is fot the present carefully w)hbbeld by the postoffice officials, but it is admitted that the records show that ow the 1st of Janu ary, 1880, the pay for carrying the mails on loss than 100 out of wore than 9,000 star routeo had been knorea sod from about 8700,000 at tL6o time of letting to $2,800,000 by orders for additional trips and for shortoning time. A considerablo part of this in creased service, according to the evi~ dence accumulated, was either not performed at all or very imperfectly performed, the irrogularities being carefully planned, it is supposed, for the purposo of transferring money from the .treasury- to the pockets of favored contractors and their confod, orates. The irregularities secin to have been confined chiefly to routes west of tho Missiksippi river and to those in tho Territories. Nearly half of the six millions appropriated for the star service was apportioned am ong the favorite contractors of 93 routes, leaving the other half for the other 8,900 routes. Under this arrn gemont the ring divided about $2, 000,000, though the share of each is only known to tho parties to the etcal. Brady owns a mijority of the Nation-, al Republican recently organized witb George Gorham as editor, and Hallet Kilbourn businesh mainagor. It has bon stated that Buell, no w owner of the Washington Capitall, al1o got his wice 11 lobby SIrVices while an ofi. cer in the Scnate. If this be true, it may acoumit for his tendencies toward the .Hepubli icanm party of htte.
