Since my last have been travelling some
wha, amongst the praries. Montgomery county
has goody portion Of these natural me adow.,
generally Of the very best quality. North and
northwest Of Charlottesville, they stretch for
many miles in extent. generally dry md rolling,
and susceptible Of the highest state OF cu,iva-
ton. Supplied as Montgomery county is, with
good soil can be found in the west, an
inexhaus table supply Of stone, and abundance Of
f'c'cnt quantities Cor ages to come, can see
nothing To prevent il from becoming one Of the
best and wcaI,hies, in tho state. The price of
land varies from ten to forty and even Fifty dol

RICH, feeling the subject Of Internal Improve
ment You hear no modification OF nulli6ca tion, ,
, or any other sor, of .fcosion, among them. They
are almost universally, as Ear Ms could discern,
g in favor of tho speedy completion Of the en,ue
: system. One small farmer in converse ON
the sehject, remarked that his tax this year
would be IA dollars, instead of 8 as il was last
!, but that he would rather pay THIRTY dollars tax
i for years 10 come, than have the system suspen-

heard i, h1,ed several occasions, that if the
n Whitewater delegation in tho next legislature
e were modifiers that they might possibly get
- modified out Of the Whitewater Canal. The
!, truth is discov that The people in orher parts
:. Of the State view the claims Of the Whitewa-
n ter valley in quite different light what from her
:, own citizensdo We easily convince ourselve s
y that ought stand first in the list, bu, it is
not so easy to convince others that our claims
h are paramount. Self interest goes grea, way
\, in opening closing peoples eyes. Whitewater
