All communications must be accompanied by the names of the authors, and direct communications cannot be returned. Gov. Wm. Smith's Speech. The following is an abstract of the speech made by Gov. Wm. Smith, of Fauquier, before the Virginia Agricultural Convention, at Richmond on Tuesday last. We copy from the Richmond Whig: A finer population never existed than the present people of Virginia. It did his heart good to see a nice, beautiful girl show her velvet hand in the kitchen, and let their Yankees see that she was equal to the occasion. The ladies of Virginia were sorely tried in the domestic servants. It was a sore trial, but Virginia women bore it nobly. How were the people to accomplish renovation? They knew that what they willed to do was in their power. Now was the time for extraordinary effort. We are in the dust, reviled, held down, to be hanged, drawn and quartered, and what was left of their property was to be appropriated to paying the expenses of the Government; but they should resolve to leave no efforts untried to repair the ravages of war. When he got home he found his farm without a rail or tree - everything gone but his house, which his wife had saved by her tact. He rode to his village. He found the citizens standing at the corners of the streets, the young men idle, but he reminded them of their duty. He told them that if they couldn't earn a dollar a day, then they ought to take less, and they would have the consolation of knowing that they had been given the opportunity. Nothing should be spent but what was absolutely necessary. Every shilling wastefully spent was a crime against patriotism and society. He had heard an excellent clergyman, a friend of his, preach self-denial. He saw him indulge in smoking, and he asked why he was indulging in a habit pernicious to health and wasteful too! He introduced this incident to illustrate the duty they owe themselves, not to waste their means in luxury or self-indulgence. He had, as he before said, gone to his home after the surrender; he was his own manager, his overseer. He told his negro employees that he had hired them, not for their pleasure, but his profit. He had a small body of land, 50 acres, on which he put 2,000 yards of ditching, and 1,600 yards of under draining, and he made, with all his expenses, at least 500 barrels of corn and 100 cart loads of pumpkins, from seed brought from Connecticut, when he did know if it would grow for him. The Governor then went on to describe at length, his farming operations and his success therein, and went on to say that it was true policy now to cultivate the soil well. They may not be able to cultivate in a large way; if he couldn't get stock for his farm, he would rent it out. He agreed, with the President, that large farms could be managed better than small ones, if there was capital to do it. When a man had a little farm he became like one of his own cattle, for he had to work incessantly, and there was no longer a man. He had earnestly impressed on his friends not to leave the country. Where would they go? Virginia was the place for them, after all. Let every Virginian say "this is the spot for me, here is my ancestors' home, I will die here, and I will spare no effort to restore my native State?" Where could they go? To Mexico? No. To Brazil? To the West? No. For there they would be overwhelmed by hordes of foreigners. He had traveled much of late, and took occasion to converse with the people. He came to this city, and saw palatial residences going up. And for what? To sell other people's industry in. Thousands of dollars were thus spent when if they had been applied to manufacturing purposes, other people would be buying from us. He had been to Danville. He saw there a water front of a mile and a half which could be devoted to manufacturing purposes, but he found the merchants there putting up fine houses in the country, where they spent some of the time that ought to be devoted to business. He would remind them of the good custom adopted in England, where men did not think of retiring to the country until they had made $100,000, or a "plum," as they called it, for they lived over their stores until they made it, where they could see how their clerks were often asking to their business in the shop under the flag. Death. He saw fine stores going up here, in which to sell shoes and hats, from New England and silk from France; whilst in place of them new factories could be established, in which the Confederate Soldier could get employment. He looked forward with hope, though the signs of the times were ominous. He was reminded of the saving of a beautiful young lady, spoken to him as a "breakwater" standing between us. Destruction, and expressed the hope that the good sense of the Northern people would return and allay the present troubles. He referred to the usury laws, and said he had intended that the next General Assembly would not be left to the teaching of political economy. Every man deals with his money as he would with any other species of property. Let us look forward with hope, and go to work and do our duty. Then hung to his entire satisfaction, in making unsuccessful in reconstructing the South to suit the dominant party, and ourselves only useless trouble, until we have a vote with and for the Radicals; but we shall hang the Southern scythe to the tree. That's what is the matter, the Pretence. Rich. Enquirer. Speaks of a machine that was used on grounds of Dr. Thomas, of Chelsea. ALEXANDRIA SALE AND EENT.
