ee of its business, those most san- guine of its success as an industrial enterprise would have voted him « fit qandidate for straight jacket. THE BLUE RIDGE Ata point some thirty-five fniles from Alex. andria, peaks of the Blue Ridge in the dim distance burst upon the eyé, and the road 'gradually nears its base, until before reaching this point, though still twenty miles distant, their grim vastness gives those mountaing the appearance of almost overhanging the traveler as he is being whirled rapidly along. At this season, their deep mantle of unbroken green, looming up in the clear blue sky softens the grand picture they make, so that one is soothed, rather than awe-striken, by their ap- pearance. To look on them from the car win- dow, at such a time, puts aman with a clear conscience at peace with the world, and in- clines him to imperturbable amiability. THE REGION AROUND CULPEPPER COURT-HOUSE. As one ascends to this altitude, the soil gradually becomes better for agricultural pur. poses, until here, with the imperfect system of culture in vogue, embracing what, in the vicinity of Washington, one would term avery sligkt dressing, indeed, cf guano, the wheat crop averages twenty bushels per acre. The corn crops, on fallow, yields from thirty to forty bushels without stimulation of any sort, and with plaster alone, the yield of clover is very fine, indeed. If sown in clover, and left in grass, in four years this soil seeds itself with blue grass, making as fine perpetual pasture as the celebrated Kentucky blue grass farms af- fords, or those of Fauquier or upper Loudon. Asyet, the farmers of Culpepper do not gen- erally appear to be aware of the enormous profits in store for them through the business of fattening cattle fer the neighboring markets on tide-water, Stoek cattle range from $15 to $20, here in June and with the runof their almost natural pastures and winter feeding with wheat-straw and corn blades and stalks, command in July and August folfowing an av- erage of $33 per head. Indeed, those who have gone systematitally into the business do not think it paying unless yielding one hun- dred percentum upon the investment in the purchase of the stock, low in flesh, driven hither to be sold for this purpose. But I must not fatigue the readers of the Star with a lec- ture upon the subject of my idolatry—agri- culture. The scenery, for many miles around this Point at this season, is the most captivating my eyes ever beheld ; so picturesque and yet so harmonious is its blending of the sublimity of nature with the subdued aspect of mans handicraft in husbandry visible everywhere here, turn as one may. I rode around the country this afternoon for a dozen qiles, or so—diving into valleys and climbing mountain spurs, from which in all diree- tions, one can distinctly discover objects thirty miles distant—the Blue Ridge fading away in the mist of the clouds, the Rappahan- nock ten miles off on one side, and the Rapidan as far distant on the other, each wending it® course amid checkered fields of bright red soil, studded with plow-men, cottages, groves, and here and there a stately mansion. Such a sight is to be seen no where else in our coun- try except in this Piedmont region of Virginia, to be reached in two hours and a half from Alexandria, and at a cost of but two dollars and a half for the trip up. W. D. W—u (oe ——____ For the Ladies. This is the busy opening week for the.“ fall fashions” and our lady-readers may perhaps like to know what is being done amongst the mantua-makers. Flounces and silk robes are beginning to take the place of the musling and tissues ot a warmer season, and are as popular as when they first made their appearance, Dark-blue taffetas, with the flounces covered with a rich embroidery of flowers and leaves in black velvet, is one of the most distinguished styles. Others are in various shades of brown, purple, dark-green, with flounces embroidered ia velvet, in black, or in a deeper shade of the fuundation color. Rich dotted silks have flounces of uncut chine velvet, which looks like a mixture of fine and delicately-colored chenille. The very broad stripes of last Winter have become broader still, if that were possi- ble; a very handsome dark-blue silk has each alternate stripe covered with an exquisite imi- tation of black lace. The broad-striped and delicately colored poplines are asserting their claims to attention, and, like Cashmere and diamonds, are always fashionable. Watered silk is quite a favorite, and will take the place of moire antique, to some extent, this season: A new Cashmere morning robe, with a “shawl border,’’ which extends down the front and round the bottom, is very stylish and handsome, much more so than bordered with moire antique, as they were last season There is little decided novelty in the pattern? and making-up of dresses Basques are worn deeper, broader, more de* cided than ever; trimmed very full with heavy, knotted fringe and lace. The surplice or Grecian waist for evening dresses is the lateet importation: with these bretelles are not worn, but the folds are con- fined by elegant waist ribbons, very broad, and with the ends beautifully embroidered , Another style is laced across a chemisette formed of rows of Honiton lace ; this has dre- telles which meet in front and form a pointed berthe behind. Skirts are very full and fear. fully flonnced. The flounces are either em. broidered or trimmed with points of colored silk or velvet Cashmere shawls and ecarfa, with deep bor” ders, are very handsome this season, and wili be fashionable. A gorgeous-looking shawl is made of uncut velvet, with a very bright bor der of flowers EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: SATUF DAY............

On the first page of our Weekly issue of to- day will be found a valuable article on ‘‘Ar- chitecture as a Moral Reform;’’ also a eu- rious philosophical, semi-poetical article upon “Small Feet.’’ “ Our Major’s Story,” on the Jast page, challenges a perusal, as well as the “‘ Bow-wow-wow"’ article which follows it. The inside contains, as usual, a vast amount of “Washington News and Gossip.” The Weekly, in all its other departments, is filled to overflowing with matter calculated to make the payer generally interesting. Only $1.25 per year—single copies 3 cents _—_ oor or SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS The Union has an elaborate article upon the Kansas question in which it maintains that the most distinctive feature ef the Kansas and Nebraska act is simply a vindication of the compremiee measures advocated by Clay, Wel~ ster and Cass in 1550. It asserts that the question “has not been reopened, but that, an urgent arfd undeniable necessity preserting itself, the sound principles asserted in 1850 were practically applied for its settlement. ‘That legislation had this extent. and no more. No just and patriotic man can deny it. Our countrymen were invited to no new solution of a difficult problem—no new path in our career of advancement and greatness was sug- = tothem. But we took a principle re iy arnished to our hands, and which was funda- mental in our institutions It is in vain to #ay that the Kansas and Nebraska issue was a reopening of the slavery agitation It is false to say that it was the cause of it.” The Union says: “We believe there have been wrongs on both sides in Kansas—wrongs which reason and law and prudence can repair, but which rifles, whether in the hands of the men from the East or the West could never remedy. ‘The purpose of the President, that the funda- mental principle of the Kansas and Nebraska bill should be carried into faithful execution, has been, from the first, apparent. That prin- ciple is, that the unembarrassed judgment and the uncontrolled will of the actual Jona fide settlers shall determine the character of the institutions under which they are to live. In- surrection within the Territory, or aggression from without. will be subdued. If the civil authority shall prove inadequate to the main- tenance of this great living principle, military force must, of necessity, be resorted to. And we are satisfied that on this point the Presi- dent intends to leave no doubt.

CuLrerren C. H., Va., Sept 5, 1356. 1 left Alexandria at half-pact seven this morning, and reached this point, per Orange and Alexandria railroad—62 miles distant— in two hours and e half. We were blest with & remarkable absence of the usual annoyances of American travel by rail—cinder-dust and ear-pedlars. I cannot account for the absence of the dust on this particular line, but certain it is, there is invariably less of it between Alexandria and Richmond than elsewhere. The car-pedlars, I presume, are kept off the jine by a regulation of the company, who thus save their patrens from what has come to be emphatically a nuicance further North, where homely and brazen-faced old maids, in bloom- er costume, thrust their wares, and gabble frequently, abolition tracts ard anti-slavery slang-whang, in the faces and ears of all, whether in the humor to be pleased with such interruptions of the semi-stupor into which the gentle julting of railway traveling so fre- quentiy reeks or shakes one, or not. THE ORANGE AND ALEXANDRIA RAILRVAD. This read (the Orange and Alexandria) is eapitally managed; (balks, jarrings or noise on the part of the company’s machinery, agents or servant: being things almost unknown,) while its jupning time is up to the wark of about thirty miles per hour. Asit isa ccmparatively new road, but two passenger trains per day each way are runover it, which precludes the possibility of the occurrence upon any portion of its length of one of those awful catastrophes from a collision, by which of late the public gersibility has been shocked, perhaps, once a week. They re-ult, in too many instances, from efforts to trapsact more business than the fa- cilities cf the roads warrant ; most of the rail- roads in this country being single track ones, and such offairs never happening where from end to end the lines ere laid with a double set ofrai's. Lut for the fact that the loss of life by railwsy secident is something almost un- known on lines laid down south of the Poto- mac, it would be fair to presume that the so vapid increase of the business of the Orange and Alexendria railroad will, ere long, place it in the catalogue of dangerous similar insti- tutions. ite passenger business has at least doubled in & twelve-month, while the hundreds, if NY thoueande, of tons of guano, plaster, salt, &c., going up, and its thousands of bushels of wheat and ecrn going down daily—more than ap- peared to be traversing it at this season of the last year—tell the tale of ita fature business importance to those who reflect on what they gee around them. Tbe company are pushing the construction of ite extension to Lynchburg with great en- ergy acd success. They will not long hence open it formally to that point. where it will intersect the Virginia and Tennessee Raiiroad, which will be finished, perhaps, clear through from Memphis by that time. In three or four years hence there wil! probably be a continu- ous line of rail-traveling by thie route to Mo- bile, New Orleans, Louisville, St. Louis, Cin- cinnati, and Chicago. Who can foretell ita coming business importance ? I remark above that its passenger business has at least doubled in a twelve month. The everity of the pact winter threw over it the Breat rush of the through southern travel, which, from its road’s superior aceommodations and the lovely region of country through which it iaconstructed, seems determined to stick to it, now that the abeolute necessity compelling through travelers to patronize it no longer ex S#aving Mave Easy.—Wet your shaving brush in either warm orcold water, pour on two or three drops of ‘Balm of a Thousand Flowers,’’ rub the beard well and it will make a beautiful soft lather much facilitating the operation of shaving.

The state of affairs in this Territory has been such, within the past month especially, as to lead to the apprehension that the fair soil of Kansas would,be drenched with blood, acoom- panied by all the horrors of a civil wat In fact, numerous petty conflicts, as preliminary to @ general battle, have ensued; and hence it has become necessary for the Executive to reiterate to the new Governor, Col Geary, the policy of the Adminis‘ration. <« It is, first, to maintain order and quiet in the Territory of Kansas; and, second, if disturbances occur therein, to bring to punishment the offenders.”’ The correspondence upon this subject, which appears at length in the Union of this morn- ing, corrects false and exaggerated statements relative to the condition of things in the Ter- ritory, and the acts and purposes of the Gov- ernment of the United States, and in both re- spects shows the precise truth; a fact which renders the official papers more than ordi- narily iateresting, when we consider the in- jection of mere morbidly invented news into the columns of the newspaper press. Some idea of the manner in which Genera] Smith is conducting the highly responsible duties entrusted t> him, may be drawn from the concluding pari of his instructions for the officer in command of the deteshment of Uni- ted States troops ordered to assemble in the neighborhood of Lecompton, the capital of Kansas Territory, on the requisition of the Govesnor thereof to repress insurrection. He says, in the kindness of heart as a man, and with the true bearing of a patriot and soldier : ‘“‘ Avoid as long as possible any appeal to arms. Use every endeavor in your power to bring those who are in opposition to the law to a sense of their error; especially avoid small conflicts, and consider the shedding of a fel- low-citizen’s blood as the greatest evil thatcan happen except the overthrow of law and right, which must end in civil war. But when the necessity of action and the employment of force does unhappily arise, employ it at once with all the power and vigor at your command, but continue it only until you have suppressed tho insurrection, and then interfere to prevent any cruelty from others.’’ From the correspondence it further appears that, on the 2d instant, the Secretary of State wrote to Governor Geary, informing him that reliable information had reached the President that “armed and organized bodies of wen, avowedly in rebellion against the Territorial Government, have concentrated in such num- bers as to require additional military force for their dispersion,’ and therefore, instructs the Governor to have ‘‘ the militia of the Territory completely enrolled and organized, to the end that they may on short notice be brought into the service of the United States.” The Secretary of War, in his dispatch to General Smith, dated the third instant, in- forms the latter that the President has author- ized him to say to General Smith that he is authorized, from time to time, to make requi- sitions upon the Governor for such militia force as he may require to enable him prompt ly and successfully to execute his orders and to suppress insurrection against the Govern- ment ofthe Territory of Kansas, and, under the circumstances heretofore set forth in his instructions, to give the requisite aid to the officers of the civil gove:ament who may be obstructed in the due execution of the laws. Should he not be able to derive from the mili- tia of Kansas the adequate force for these purposes, such additional number of militia as may be necessary wi!! be drawn from the States of Illinois and Kentucky, requisitions having been made upon them for two regi- ments of foot militia, whenever the exigencies of the public service shall induce General Smith to call upon them for such troops. The Secretary, addressing himself to Gen. Smith, says: “To you, as to every soldier whose habitual feeling is to protect the citizens of his own country, and only to use his arms against a public enemy, it cannot be otherwise than deeply painful to he brought into conflict with any portion of his fellow-countrymen ; but pat- riotism and hymanity alike require that re- bellion should be promptly crushed, and the perpetration of the crimes which now disturb the peace and security of the good people of the Territory of Kansas should be effectually checked. Vou will, therefore, energetically employ all the means within your reach to restore the supremacy of law, always endeavor- ing to carry out your present purpore to pre- vent the unnecessary effusion uf blood.’’ From this glance at the more important fea- tures of the correspondence, it is seen that the President of the United States is determined to crush the “ rebellion’’ in Kansas, for which he will receive the thanks of every true patrio*. Agriculture in California.—From the re- port of the Surveyor General of California, it appears that the agricullure interest of that State bids fair to take the lead of even the mining interest. According to this report, there are inclosed, and under scientific cultivation, three hun- dred thousand acres of farming land in Cali- fornia. This does not include pasture range or grazing grounds, but means farms, tilled a® they are at the East, with improved imple- ments and agricultural economy. The growth of cereals is stated at eight millions of bush- els, but the proportions of each are not given, All grains, however, thrive well, but barley, in particular, grows with unparalleled luxuri- ance. Of potatoes, the crop was but five hundred thousand bushels, but the ground devoted to them was limited. A hundred thousand fruit trees were planted, and the number of grapo vines increased to over a million and a quar- ter. The Spanish Jesuits had already eight hundred thousand vines, and at present there are the only ones which produce fruit. They are of the Malaga variety, and their remark- able fecundity has led to steps for the further cultivation of the grape. The Surveyor is % opinion that, as a wine producing country California will soon far exceed Ohio in import? ance. The Malaga grape, however, is not considered the best. It is easily cultivated; and therefore commended itself to the sloth- fulness of the Spaniards; but the Catawba and Isabella varieties will command the attention of the vine growers of the new State as bet” ter adapted to the making of wine and of more value in themselves. Fremont Light.—The New York Tribune says: ‘‘ The only possibility of our defeat isto be found in the danger that certain secluded portions of the free States may remain in ig- norance of the nature of the great contest.”” In connection with this subject, the Trzbune published an gppeal to the ‘friends of Fre- mont” for “ money in large or small sums’’ for the preparation and circulation of documents. If the real objects and purposes of that party were truthfully set forth, we doubt not that, instead of gaining friends, patriotic hearts would be more than now aroused against that revolutionary and anti-national organization.
