on condition that the City of Petersburg should 

 contribute two thousand dollars per annum in 

 perpetuity. "We further learn that this condi- 

 tion will be submitted to the voters of the City 

 of Petersburg, by whom, we suppose, as a mat- 

 ter of course, it will be adopted. 



By this liberality, which is the second instance 

 of the kind we have had the pleasure of record- 

 ing, and only second to the generosity of Col. 

 CockQ, the Union Society will be placed on near- 

 ly the same pecuniary footing with the State 

 society. With such friends at command, it will 

 be, we hope, in the power of those two societies 

 to accomplish a great deal of good. Much cer- 

 tainly will be expected of them, and, very pro- 

 bably, much more than either could accomplish 

 with tw^ice the means at their disposal. 



FAIRS OF THE UNION, SEABOARD AND 

 RAPPAHANNOCK AGRICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETIES. 



We have been pleased to learn that all of the 

 above societies had very satisfactory exhibitions 

 within the last six weeks. 



We shall be glad to publish such accounts of 

 them as their authorities ma}- furnith. 



TO SUBSCRIBERS. 



We earnestly request that you will read our 

 " Terms'^ at least once a year, and aZzt^ays' before 

 writing us upon any subject connected with 

 your paper. We frequently receive letters con- 

 taining remittances, and others requesting dis- 

 continuances or directing a change to other 

 post-offices when the office to which the paper is 

 sent is not named. Such omissions occasion us 

 a great deal of trouble, and it not unfrequently 

 happens that your wishes cannot be attended 

 to in consequence of your neglect to conform to 

 this standing request. 



Remember alioays to name your post of- 

 fice when writing about your paper. 



to drop all wdio are then in arrears for two 

 years and upwards. But in doing so w^e do 

 not intend to relinquish our right to collect our 

 dues from such delinquents, but shall send out 

 their accounts regularly or place them in the 

 hands of Agents for collection. We do not de- 

 sign to adopt strictly the cash system, but we 

 desire to approach as near to it as possible, and 

 wish our " Terms/' which are printed conspi- 

 cuously in every paper*bo be understood by all 

 our subscribers. They are as follows : 



One Dollar and Twenty-five Cents per 

 annum, or One Dollar only, if paid in advance. 

 Sis copies for Five Dollars ; Thirteen copies 

 for Ten Dollars— to be paid invariably in ad- 

 vance; and to theoi we mean strictly to adhere, 

 with this variation only, subscribers who owe 

 for two years, or $2 50 and remit, §5 will be 

 credited for two years of arrearages and three 

 years in advance. We think no one who intends 

 to pay can object to this arrangement.
