subjects, publishes the details Of the articles i'm

S846 1889, being an increase OF some 500 600
over The amount warehoused for the conespon
ding quarter last year showing that the COM
mercial public appreciate the facilities that The
system extends 10 them. Flour, Wheat and Whis-
key are among The leading articles warehoused /;
indicating how rapidly liberalily in commercial
dealing is forcing the business of The British Pro-
vinces into our markets. As the N. Y. True Sun
says:
Instead Of The products Of those sections going

there with our produce, it comes here, and after

we select the following beautiful tributes from

vIRGINIA-H will be seen, BY the follow
ing extract from the Richmond Enquirer OF
Monday, that this glorious old Commonwealth
has placed herself in her natural position as the
foremos, State, and the leade. OF the South,
in the struggle for the independence OF our
Section, and the integrity of the Constitution,
which Northern fanaticism has forced upon US.
The resolutions on The slavery question, intro
duced into her Legislature some time since,
were on Saturday last, adopted in both Houses
BY an overwhelming majority. During The pro-
gress of the debate, we have forborne 10 notice
the subject, from fear that some of those ma.
lign influences that so efectually poison the
counsels of Southern men at Washington, might
interfere with an expression of opinion in Viz
rinia, worthy Of her character, and of the emer
eency. But she seems rather to have gathered
strength, and courage, and determination, from
the failures elsewhere, than 10 have been Temp

GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

In this age of ingenious labor-saving inven-
lions we are q lad 10 see that our own citizens are
competing for the rewards Of talen. and industry.
Below We give an article from the Charleston (Ka-

valuable patent OF Lorenzo Sibert OF Woodstock

ventor AMI palenee of the Taylor Malleable Iron
Furnace, which is said 10 manufacture from w o

substances from mountain sides, can now see
one 10 iull operation al DR.. Hale's Furnace three

TO A MINIATURE


By JOHN wILFoHp OVERALL.
IT'S strange, that Art can weave face
So radiant and divine
SO eloquent with thought and grace,
So beautiful as thine.
almost see the warm blood seek
The blue veins on thy brow,
A glow upon Thy pearly check
So life-like seemest thou
| love thy dark eyes sunny glee;
There is something in lis glance
That tells thy heart is fond and free,
And full of loves romance.
The dimpled lake, the sky's soft glow,
Can no such charms impart,
As those which thou dost mutely throw
Around the burning heart.
And DER that bosom, white as snow;
Entwined in thy fair Gtger,
Dark, dreamy ebon riDglets hoW,
As if they loved TO linger;
And best as heaven are they olest,
Rocked 10 their sea-waye motion.
Like shadows on the tiny breast
OF some sweet mimic ocean.
Oh! could'st thou break the silent spell
That binds thy lips SO long,
Each soft, enchanting tone would tell
That thou vert born for song,
To me, Arts melody but mocks-
For, in the gilded South,
The softest, sweetest music-box
Is woman's rosy mouth;
How fair these daughters of the sun,
These black-eyed, sparkling things,
These jewels Of the Holy One,
These angels without wings!
One golden look, one crystal tear,
One sweet, emphatic word,
Is worth the wealth of Ind, SO dear,
Or all we've seen or heard.
Thou art not old, bright tropic gem
A bud, yet half blossom;
Too young to leave the parent stem,
Too frail for mans fond bosom;
Thou yieldes, but star like light
4ut, wer, thou woman, girl,
I'd brave the battles fiercest fight
For one bright smile o. curl.

FIGURING Nils at .liJaay.-'Fhere now five
four of them are worked By water, and one by
steam power. They have ca h four run of stone,
and consume annually about 100000 bushels Of
Wheat. The mllers supply themselves, in great
measure, with grain from the Market and these mills
are turning out goodIy quantity Of Flour,
which forms a small addition to our daily supply.
The subject oGinspection, which was agitated ear
" in the season, and the large quantities OF unsound
unhealthy and mixed W heat Flour which was thrown
the market this year, has tended in great mea-
sure to increase the business of Eastern Alcrs, who
have pursued straight forward course in rejecting
every species of Wheat excepting the very best the
country could afford In fact, some of our millers
were unable to fill their orders early in the fall on
account of the scarcity of good Wheat and the dry
ness of the streams. Although we have quite NUM-
br of mills in this State that have kept up their
putation, and who have not adopted the Pcnny-wlse
system of adding a quantity OF inferior Western
Wheat with Genesce, and sending it forward brand
ed as pure Genesec, yet SO many have adopted TINS
course that the honest part made to suffer
in greater less degree BY the acts OF their neigh
bors.
Along the line of the Boston Railroad, and the va
rous roads intersecting it, Albany Flour has obtain
ed, and very Justly too, high reputation which we
trust that they will retain 1t Is true that our
millers obtain from - cts to 81 more for their Flour
than good State brands be obtained in this mar
ket, still actual consumers and those who purchase
simply for supplying localities, much prefer paving
this difference knowing that it will give entire
