The MARBLE BUsINEss.-An article
in Hunts Marchants' Magazine" up
on American marbles, says that the
tract Of country lying between the Adj
rionic mountains on the east, and ex>
tending from the northern part of Yer.
mont south into Connecticut, contains
the finest specimens Of marble in the
world. The Parian marble, so long
celebrated as unsurpassed in quality
and variety. the writer says, is exceed
ed in every respect by that Of New
England. The value Of the marble
quarried there is now amounting to 81 .
100000 annually. This region is laid
open to us by the Northern railroad.

The work of Improvement" in yir-
gina is no. confined alone to the max
ing Of railroads. We rejoice to see and
know that the agricultural interests OF
the State are daily receiving more and
more attention from the Intelligent far
mers of the different counties, and that
their skill, industry, and enterprise are
meeting their just rewards in the in
creased value and productiveness of
their lands, and in the increased guam.
tity and quality Of their annual crops.
Every where an improvement in tarm-
ing is seen at glance. Agricultural
societies, cattle shows, and fairs are
objects of interest and attention. To
make two blades Of grass grow where
only one grew before is now an OBJ
ject Of ambition. Practical results are
sought to be attained BY judicious cul-
ture. The lights Of science and expc-
rience are consulted. How gratifying
is all this to every lover of the State
Virginia is indeed capable Of being
made the first agriculturalfas well as
the first manufacturing State in the
Union. Her soil and her climate are
as favorable as could be wished.

AN INDIAN BUREAU CONTRACT LET olr.-We |
hear that Grant and Barton, of New York, |
were the successful bidders for supplying the
goods required under treaty to be paid over to
the Chippewa Indians of Lake Superior in the
coming autumn. They are said to hive been
the only bidders. The aggregate of tleir bids
cover about $4,000. The failure If other
sumo arose from the fact that there IS an ao-
tive demand just now for staple goods required
in trade with the Indians, which in ordinary
commerce range at some 20 or 80 per cent.
higher prices than they bore at thistime last
year. This is the case especially With refer
ence to the prices of the wooden goods The
gold discoveries in Australia and the inter-
nal connections in Buenos Ayres and other
South American wool growing States lave had
the effect of cutting off supplies fiom such
quarters; thus greatly increasing tle value
of the staple.
AVERY IMPORTANT QUESTION IN CONNECTION
WITH THE NEW LAW FOR THE Protection OF
LIFE ON srEAMERs.-A question has .risen as
to the right of the Government to b1ing suit
for the violation of this law, and we sre salts
fed that the law officers of the Government are
of opinion that, as the law now stands, the Gov
eminent cannot do so; and, as a consequence
that all such suits, until Congress STALL have
amended that act, must be brought in the
name of an informer, or Of some ono who has
received injury from the failure of steamboat
owners or managers to comply with the law s
requirements.
A NOVEL CAUSE OF MAIL FAILURE-A Tex

son of his recent failures. We have nc doubt
of the truth Of this apparently strange reason.

Tho Pacific Railroad Excitement

seems fairly to have died out. That is,
the newspapers not long since almost en-
tlrely devoted to the subject, already rare
ly allude to it. This is in part owing to
the fact, we presume, that the position of
the Administration upon it is no longer a
problem; it being now conceded on all
hands, that they have arrived at no de-
finite determination as to the recommen-
dations they will essay concerning the
project, or whether they will make any
such or not. As far as We can judge from
the newspaper demonstrations, public
opinion is settling down in favor of the
Texas route, as running farthest through
desirable country, as presenting fewer
obstacles to the construction of a railroad,
and as being very sure to be less subject
to lmpedimentS to it's free use, from SHOWS
and frosts, which must be much more en-
barrasSing on railroad constructed
through unsettled territory than any,
where east of the Mississippi, in a similar
latitude. However, the set of persons
who, for so many years past, have been
plundcring the people and treasury of the
State of New York, by obtaining special
legislation at Albany, have seized upon
this route, evidently, as their own pro-
perry; and are moving heaven and earth

Mr.. Daniel s. Dickinson.

This distinguished gentleman has re-
piled through the Herald IN. " at length
to the article recently appearing in the
Washington Union, wherein quotations
were made from speech of his, in which
he had admitted the constitutionality of
the Wilmot proviso. and which, as there
presented, exhibits him as having at one
time expressed himself warmly in favor of
the principle of the proviso. In this re-
ply, Mr.. Dickinson accuses the Union of
garbling his speech to convict him of Free
Soil sentiments saying:

in saying it will compare favorably with

selected with care, grace the columns of
this journal. We are satisfied that it is
only necessary for the WEEKLY STAR to be
generally known to secure for it a wide
circulation.
