THE TRIBUNE.
JT. ABXER 1IARRELI,, Editor.
THURSDAY, DECEMBERS 1871
There is no man however stupid
can fail to consent to the assertion
that the Farmers Council which as
sembled in Petersburg last week,
was composed of men of as high
rank and possessed of as much
ability, as any body of men which
has met any where upon Virginia's
soil for many years. The country
fl 1 T" A 1 f
all arouna i oiereonrg, ior one
hundred miles, both in this Stale
and Virginia, sent its best talent
there and work has been done which
will bear fruits of country develop
ment, and place the farming interest
ot the two States in a more dignified
position.
Scarsely can we enter the com
pany of any man, or any set ot
men but the first question asked is:
are we going to have war with
Spain? Our mission has e?cr been
that of place, but in the recent
Cuban affairs, together with otlur
difficulties we have had with Fpain,
it seems to us, "gentlemen may cry
peace, peace, but there is no peace."

counts in indictment against Spain,
