The Anneal Address Delivered bp F. II. Busbee, Esq., of Raleigh. The Petersburg papers of yesterday give full and interesting accounts of the Annual Fair which commenced In that city on Tuesday. On that day the crowd In attendance was quite large, and the exhibition, es pecially In the stock department, is represented as being exceedingly grod. OPENING EXERCISES. A little past 11 o'clock the crowd was called around the speaker's stand, His Honor, Judge E M.Mann, of that city, presiding, in the absence of tbe President aud Vice-President. The exercises of the day were opened with a prajer of great earnestness aud fervor by lie v. J. E. Hutsou, of the Byrne street Baptist Church, which was followed I y an eloquent uddrexs of welcome, delivered bv Hon. W. F. C. Gregory, Mayor of Petersburg. MK. ItCSBEE's ADDRESS. Pttliius H. Busbee, Esq., of Ral eigh, N. (' . vvus then briefly intro duced by Mr. E. S Gregory, Secreta ry of the Society, who referred to the ties of brotherhood, social, commer cial and historic, which united the two Commonwealths, aud to the pleasure which Petersbuig especially takes in rendering honor to the sons of the old North State. The Index-Appeal gives a synopsis of the remarks of Mr. Busbee,' ex-, pressiug much pleasure at the gener al tone of his remarks, and says it has "never seen a more attentive audience thau that which Mr. Bue bee's address held together so well, and we are sure that no more excel lent, timely, witty aud eloquent ef fort ever drew any audience to any Fair groundsill Virginia." It con cludes its remarks of his speech as follows : Mr. Busbee's speech, abounded in happy and strong joints which we regret that we have not reproduced in this hurried sketch, made from memory. At the closeof his remarks he made the following admirable per oration, which was received with re peated applause and other emphatic Mutt gratifying evidences of approval: "Another and perhaps the greatest giod which I telieve will te brought about by the annual exhibitions of the Petersburg Agricultural Society, is the growth of more intimate busi ness and social relations between the teople of North Carolina and Vir ginia. Other things being equal, of course 1 should prefer to builu up North Carolina cities with North Carolina trade, but nothing can ever permanently divert the current of commerce from Its natural channels. It regards not State lines. The little city of Kaleigh offers to the planters of central North Carolina a market they are not slowtoavail themselves of, but for a large part of our finest cotton producing section, Petersburg is tbe natural outlet. We are glad therefore that this annual exhibition will give our people an opportunity of mingling with the men and women of the gallant Cockade City. The relations of Petersburg wUh the people of North Carolina have been bo longcontinued, so intimate and so p!ei'anf,so many of our citizens have settled iu your midst, that the North Carolinian tan not feel himself a stran ger. There are good and permanent reasons why Petersburg should be and remain a centre of trade. lis river transportation, its efficient line of railroad, Nottb, South, East and West, its proximity to the cotton and tobacco producing regionsof Virginia and North Carolina, and above all the enterprise, the liberality 'and the energy of its merchants. That these things will be monanJ more appre ciated by our people is one of the in evitable results of these annual ex poHit ions. "And have we not the right as well as you to be proud of Peters burg? It is our city as well as yours, for we too have fought for it. Ah! my friends, whatever sectional jeal ousy there has been, or there may yet be between the ieople of our grand old States, our mouths are closed, our hearts are hushed in a moment whenever the sad yet glo rious memories of the past arise be fore us. Iu the presence of acorn- moil peril me sons 01 virgina the sons and of North Carolina have never been apart. Never has the elbow touch ceased to run along the line. When we look over the euvirons of Petersburg and see the mark of careful husbandry, it is difficult for us to bring back to our memories the scenes of eleven years ago. The camp fires glow, the rough huts, the white gleam of the tent, the frowning breast work. The old sounds come back, tbe sullen roar of distant mortar.the sharp crack of the musketry along the picket line, the charge, the cheer, the dying groan. It was not my foitune to have served the State in the tifnohes before Pe tersburg. My lot was cast under Virginia's great hero Gen. Johnston, upon other fields of fight, but never the less does tbe old battle thrill arise iu visiting these historic fields. We see tbe crater with its grating hell of fir?, we see the serried columns of the enemy, and at last we see the shattered fragments of the bravest army that ever went into battle, driven frm the long defended city. But never have we seen, and never shall we see, the spirit 01 the gallant city subdued, never have we seen her heroes falter or her women false Well may it be said "She has fought the good fight, she has Kept the faith." "Now is it the sacred mausoleum of so many of the patriot dead. Not of the commanders am I thinking; not of the noble Hill whose me uioou ebbed out here. We raise our Dom age to grander heroes, the unnamed, unnoted dead. Without hope of fame, tbelr sole reward was the consciou nnu of dntv. When the summons ..m thev died like heroes, for no re creant step had e'er dishonored them; nnatainoffear.no base aespair, uu cowardly recoil. They had the hearts MORNING. OCTOBER of freemeu to the last, and the free blood that bounded in their veinp. was shed for freedom with a liberal jov. "One word more. I believe that It I needless to urge upon you the pleasant, the holy duty we have yet to perform in healing the wounds left open Dy our civil strife. The same aiuKie nearteo devotion you gave your country upon the battle field, give your country now. Upon the common plane of a common country meet your brethren to day. Seek to build up and restore the union of love. The fraternal feelinsr evinced by our brethren of the North must meet cordial response iu vour hearts. Remembering the reception given to your own t it Lee under the sacred shadow of Bunker Hill, send back in rtiuru tne words or peace and recon ciliation, of fraternity and love. Do th js and the future of your State, the iuture ot our country, is aysured." -B - AO kemovk kings. in case a finger ring becomes too tight to pass the joint of the finger, the finger should first be held In cold water to reduce any swelling or inflamatio 1.

Death of an Estimable Hali fax Lady. The Weldon Nrw re cords the death of an esteemed lady of the town of Halifax .- It is with no ordinary feeling of reurret that we have to aunounce the death of Mrs. Alice Smith, wife of Mr. Charles S. Smith and daughter of the Hon. Edward Conlglaud. at the residence of her father, in Hali fax, at half past three o'clock on Sunday morning last. Ou retiring Saturday night she complained of a paiu in her head and never spoke again. She died of apoplexy." The Session of Congress. A Washington correspondent of a conservative and well informed jour nal says that the currency and the national banks will figute largely in the debates, but that it is not prob able that any financial legislation of importance will be seriously attempts ed. It is to be expected that some modifications of the tariff may be nronosed. Investigation will be the order of the day, and everything and everybody that has excited suspicion may look out for au overhauling. Such of the Democratic members as have been in Washington in speak ing on this subject say there will be no secret Investigations but tbat the examinations shill be conducted with open doors. One of the beneficent results or electing a Democratic Congress will be the thorough overhauling wnicn all departments of the government will receive. It will take a long while even to clean off the wor t of the ordure from the Augean stables of the Republican party. But we are satisfied the new Congress will te equal to the task. Wilmington Star.

I need not say how beautiful and good they were the early called are always thus. When the first of them died my youth ended. I thought I could never be sorely stricken henceforth.

A correspondent sends us thefol-; lowing communication, written, as he claims, with the kindest feeling towards the State Agricultural So-! ciety and its officials : Morrisville, N. C.,1 Oct. 21st, 1875. Editors. Daily Neios .-After hay ing witnessed another meeting of the people of North Carolina at our State Fair, and after viewing most every thing on exhibition, I feel it my duty to say something in the interest of our State Agricultural' Society. There were many that were pleased and a great many that were not. I: have heard of so much complaint by the farmers that I caunot forbear to say something about the cause of It. They say the premiums offered for: their products is so small they cannot afford to carry them. Many times it cost more to put them on exhibition than the premium offered. Thev think it uufair to offer such small J premiums on farm products, and such large ones on race horses. It ought to be remembered that the population engaged in raising fast horses is quite small to the class engaged in agricul tural pursuits, it is discouraging to the farmer to see only five, ten or twenty dollars offered him, when the racer is offered from $25 to $500. North Carolina, with a population of 1,071,000, and 5,258,740 acres of lan d in cultivation, should send at least 100.000 people to the Fair, aud those 100,000 people should carry with them a host of ail the fruits of their labors. If the premiums offered in the past dil not justify the farmer, let tbe Society be more judicious in their arrangement. I do hope, Mr. Editor, that there will be more in ducement held out to the farmer.. Unless we can get them more inter ested we cannot expect to have our anticipations realized. The farmers are the bulwarks of the nation. Our land is adopted to the raising of all kinds of vegetables, our meadows are- sufficient to raise all kinds of stock, - our torest nas abundance of timber for the mechanic. What, then, is to: deter or embarras us from being a great people? Let every North Carolinian put his shoulder to the wheels that have been so long in the mud aud push and pull until we have consummated our desires that of; making our Fair second to none. Wishing our next Fair to be a grand success, and your paper a wide circulation, 1 am, &c. W. H. M. An Eccentric Young Woman. , The London correspondent of the Liverpool Post writes: A great num ber of comical stories are being told just now about the vagaries of a very eccentric, very wealthy, and if re port be true very handsome young, lady, residing in a rural district not very far from London. As may be; imagined, she had plentv of suitors,; aud the devices she has adopted to get; rid of them would read like a fairy ! tale. She generally gives her impor tunate lovers some absurd aud im possible thing to do, the condition being that if they fail they shall trouble her no more. It is whispered that a certain well known member rf Parliament is not indifferent to her charms or her fortune, and that one night while a great debate was in progress the lady dispatched her amorous swain, with a blackened face and striped coat, and a big roll of music under eacli arm, to the classic precincts of Si. Stephen's. Iu this approved Chiisty Minstrel style he presented himself before the outraged and indignant janitors. These bewildered officials uuder the belief that the honorable gentlemen. had been dining too much, lugged him away and in spite of ins protests clapped him into a cab and sent him oft" to his lodgings. Last Sunday the lady herself indulged in a prank which has greatly scandalized the gossips of the neighborhood. She went to church in the morning and immediately upon taking her seat opened a large bright-colored para sol, whicli she persisted in holding over her head through the entire ser vice, notwithstanding the entreaties aud threats of the vergers and a couple of church wardens who were summoned to remonstrate with her. During the sermon she aniused her self by twisting the parasol round and round and bobbing it up aud down to the mingled horror aud amusement of the beholders. 1 be lieve that the Vicar has since waited on the lady, and that no more will be heard ot the matter. The Tramp Printer. He came in witli a modest air and looked around inquiringly. The bright look of intelligence which shone from out the weather-beaten linea ments of his countenance, and the thin tapering fingers, betokened the tramp printer. All he wanted was a couple of days to push him to the next town. When he went td work he did not remove hi9 coat, his mod esty being too excessive. It was la "solid dig," and h held to it nobly until the "take" was finished, then, with a bland suppliant look at the copy hook, he quietly inquired if the ordinary Massachusetts paragraphia); ever stopped long enough to take a drink.
