Old Virsinia-Crops, PoIitics, &C,


In my last letter stated that 1922 hdds. Of
tobacco was inspected in Lvnchbu'g in the year
'43, have every reason to believe that not more
t!2n twelve thousand will be inspected for the
gear ending Oct. /, and am fearful that the
present growing crop will fall short of that of
'43 some two thousand hhds. owing 10 the droyth,
that we have had fr the last two months, which
CT it has been as dry in other sections Of the
Sta,e,) reduced the corn crop to about one half
that was made for the last few years but if the
corn crop prove to be failure, we have the con-
ISOLATION to know that finer wheat crop never
aas made IL the Old Dominion.
Irejoice ;ha. can congratulate you upon the
suspicious prospect the Wings have in view.
There are but few Locos in this State but con-
cede that Henry Clay will be elected in NoveIn-
bcr-snd the Loco-Foco party is making despe
rate exertions to carry Virginia for Polk, 81
they may exclairn as Mr.. Richie said in 40 that
the Old Dominion was still democratic, and had
not gone over to the enemy-but if The Wings
East Of the mountains will give Clay such d
.ote as they did FOR Harrison, Virginia the
- Mother Of States and Statesmen" will cast
ter vote for Henry Ciay-one of her own SONS
not less distinguished than Washington Jeffer-
5 N, Madison and Monroe. The accession to the
Wings i'll The Western part of t1e State has been
more than 1892 b. which vote MIR. Van Buren
Carried the Stale in 1910. Tie Wings nt the
next Congressional election will also send eightoi
The fifteen representatives that this State ls en-
itled to in 1872 Botts was defeated III the Rich
mond district by 33 votes. Langhorne IN the
Norfolk District oy 5. Gilmer III the Halifax

district by 100 votes take the recent spring
elections as test of the two parties and we VIII
carry the above alluded To districts, vary ing from
one 10 three hundred votes; can speak for GER
,aIn that the talent, d and indomtabe Wing,
R. II. Toes, will be elected from this district by
10 to $50 votes. Buckingham; the main Loco
county, elected two Wings 10 the Legislature

orty Cumberland, Campbell anu Luncnhurg
counties have increased their Wing majority
since 'l2.
can rccollect when there were bat few sup
porters of the Tarlff in this State, but 1t is now
quite different, and | venture the assertion that
IN ten years it will be greater Tariff State than
New. York or Pennsylvania. The People begin
To see that under the present Tariff the country
has been gradually rising from rs embarrass
ments and difficulties and the busy hum of liz
dustry begins to make itself heard all over the
and-empoyment may be obtained more readl-
", and wages have been improving. A Home
Market is building up Ill our midst, and most
articles Of produce meet with a ready sale and
command Il better price than they did during the
latter part OF the wretched and disastrous ad-
mnistra,iop OF Mr.. Van Buren,; nearly every
thing that the farmers and the aborers have TO
I,o - ~, ,bo;r ~, oil
a more certain and liberal return. They sec that
the balance Of trade, for a number Of years
aqainst us, has been turned in our favor, ard
nearly T~enty Millions Of specie have been
brought into the country through its benign in
haencc. The duties or foreign merchandise have
coen imposed 80 ludic!ously that the Govern
ment Will in snort time be able TO pay the dcbt
left by Mr.. Van Buren, and at the same time
protect our manufactures
The Wings had glorious meeting last Mon
day night at the Club House General Leslie
Combs of Kentucky addressed the Club in an
animated and elegant speech of two hours and a
half. He brought cheering news of the prospects
of the Wings III Kentucky and Tennessee. He
has Travelled through the latter State, and he says
Clay will beat Polk 5000. He left Yesterday
morning and will visit Delaware, Pennsylvania,
and New. York. a grand Convention Is to be
held in this place on the Sth OF Oct when we
expect to see from 10 to 10000 assembled, with
the most distinguished speakers in the Union.
The mountains are full of invalids, and Of
pleasure seekers at the last advces there were
400 at the White, 200 at the Blue, and l20 al
The Red with about the like number at the Warm,
Hot and Salt Springs.
My sheet is full and must close. Yours, w.
