The Hon M. I.. Donaldson, of tirrenville, was elected business agent for the Exchange.

It seems that this "hard times" is the burden of conversation everywhere Now 1 conclude that "where there is so muoh anioko tliere tnust be sonic fire:" that times arc hard, and that we are really passing through the Hint mill. 1 have been taught that there cannot be an effect without a cause, so there must be a cause for the outcry : The reasons why times are hard is fully explained in a conversation which coourrcd between two farmers; one was an old man, a good farmer, who took a sensible view of *t... .1 i: ? u.._ .. r ... i tilings ; 1HC IIIIIBI" im-'l wu it mini mi'! Cttiued to be h rather extreme man. He wan pouring out the viuls of his wrath on the representative in Congress from his ilistrict, on Congress as a body ami the Legislature of his Sinte, using hard names and accusing them of Bleating the ptihlio money, end said a change must he made before times would he better. ' The fellow really seemed hurt, and I am sure that hard times was a sensitive subject with him. This party led in conversation until he wau sure that his boiler and the cap of Ins hen I was out of danger, then tho old farmer began, by saying: How is your cdt hi crop this year?" Ans. "I d;d not plant any cotton: it has been s i low for the last few years, that it won't pay to pick it out." How much wheat have you to sell ? As you |lint'.d no c.ttoii, you must have pi enty of wheat. "X.." slid he. ' what I sowed was good, but 1 only sowed ti few acres. Wheat has been so uncertain that 1 was afraid to risk much." Then you must haven great deal of corn?" "No. 1 did nut plant much of a crop, aud am afraid 1 will have to buy a little to put nic through!" Well," said the old farmer, "have you any fa' hogs to soil (his season." i !.u.. ij ei,Hato'to tniy." "Have you any beofcattle 7" ' No; the distemper has been ?> bad I was e'rail to try beef cat'lc." We'l, said the old man, "you have nothing t sell, and it doesn't matter wbethot the deposits are arc removed from the Unitcd .States Ilank or not, or who i* President, or who goes to Congress ; it will always bo hard times with you until you raise your own supplies and have something to Bell." Now 1 conclude thnt a great many of our people have nothing t?> sell ami that is onr roas n why times are so hard, particularly with all such. Lb ii. R. ? ? . Correspondenceuf the Union TiMne.

VIRGINIA STATE ALLIANCE The Virginia State Alliance convened at Lynchburg Aug. 19, and unanimously adapted the following resolution : Whereas, Alliances are shaking hands serosa the I'otomac, across the Mississippi, across the rugged peaks of the Rockies, and, far grander still, across the "bloody chasm," across the Mason and Dixon's line; and whereas, conscienceless politicians in our national Congress have advocated measures and expressed sentiments to arouse old sectional feeling engendered by tho war: ] Therefore,' be it *4 ltr?olv*d, That we, the State Farmers Al. ' liauce of Virginia, do intend to grasp with tighter Alliance grip the hands of our Alliance brothers in the North, determined to together with locked shields, in spiteof all efforts to urau-c prejudice between no, until the financial emancipation of laborer ami producer is accomplished. ? w THE ALLIANCE ^ The Stiiint'tril-Xrirx (Ala.) says: The - Farmers Al iauce lias done more for the whole country than any organization that evor existed, and its work lias scarcely be. gun. Brethren, let political demagogues howl, and enemies scheme for our destrue1 lion, but so long as wc remain true to Alliance principles and purposes, wc will go on from victory to victory, till "equal - rights to all and special privileges to none," . j >% will characterize every law of the land.

The AUinnct Union ( Knn.) ??ys: HutU parties nre realizing that the Alliance has i accomplished what the sworJ, tho press and the pulpit failed to do. The .Mason and 1 Dixon line on which the Moody shirt lias been hung every four years, has at hist been obliterated, and tHe cotton planters of the South and the farmers of the North and " West have bid old partica good-bye and united for their mutual interosts. The bloody shirt gnuguow pock to create f dissension and strife within the orgunizuf tion by defaming the character and reputu' tion of the Alliance leaders, e EDUCATION > Correct education, says Kuskiii, teaches 1 us three things: First, where we aie?that ^ is to say, what sort of a world we aro in: how large it is, what kind of creatures lire in it. j how it is made, what it is made of, and 8 what may he made of it. / r Secondly, where we nre going?that is to say, what chances or reports there are of any oilier world besides this, that may ho I" our future home, mid what may he the nature of that other world, s Thirdly, what kind of facilities we possess, what are the present nate and wants of 8 mankind, what are our several places in society, and what are the readiest means in our power of a<tainiiig happiness ami dife fusing it.
