The scaIciry and consequent rise in value of
silver is accounted for by Mr.. D'Israeli. the
late English Chancellor Of the Exchequer:
First, while tho annual production Of gold
has quadrupl.d, the yield of the silver mines
has remained stationary, and as influx OF gold
has given an immense expansion 10 business
OF all kinds,and increased the demand for eveIy
commodity, silver being no more plentiful now
Than formerly. has become proportionately
scarce. Secondly, in Holland, and some other
European States, silver is the standard of val
ne, and hence the expectation from rhemlas to
he paid Tor in silver coin. Thirdly,and chiefly in
India gold coin Is not known among the natives
from HON the commodities of commerce are
purchased, nor is gold in that country a legal
tender; and as the excess of Indian exI %ortation
over importation is exceedingly great. there IS
an enormous drain Of silver fiom Europe and
America, to pay for the excess. In the year
1882, England alone sent fifteen millions of
dollars in silver 20 India. Mr.. D~'Israeli pro.
poses. ass remedy to the growing scarcity of
silver, that gold be made the standard of value
and aIegal tender throughout the British pos.
sessions in the Oriental world.

driven by two powerful marine engines.
She is to leave New York on Saturday next on

on Monday when she arrives here, as we learn that
she will tarry at Norfolk longer than will be her
custom, in order to allow the good people of that

ra;. -. bel;eye TO be much nearer the true
..,;n.,s :, present, and this win be swallowed
!, Nv the advancing value Of property in less
,h.r rwo years. The city, 80 we learn. has aug.
meu,ed lie population BY 5000 since the last
c.nsus. We do not vouch for the fact; bui we
shall take the proper means to ascertain II.
Let us point out to the Council source Of
unfailing--ine xhaus,ible revenue, on prodi.
gious scale. The city owns the dam above the
pump house, and all the necessary water pri-
viIeges connected with il. BY raising the dam
they can supply one hundred, aye, II 1t be ne.
cessary, one thousand manufactures. The
land Immediately below, on the margin OF the
river, is owned by Lewis E. and John Is. Har.
vie. Seeing the immense revenue which The
city might derive from this water power, and
supposing, Of course, that it had been prevent.
ed from taking advantage Of il by disinciina-
ton on the part Of the Messrs. Harvie TO up
propriate their land to manufacturing purposes,
we determined to take the earliest opportunity
to enquire into the matter. Meeting with MIR.
Lewis E. Haryie, we spoke to him upon the
subject, when he assured us, that he and his
brother were exceedingly anxious to have their
property thus appropriated. IL the Council
will raise the dam, they will sell, or take stock
in any number Of companies, or enter into any
other arrang ement by which their property may
be placed upon it's proper footing. He said il
they had owned the water power, now in pos.
session of the city, they would have erected
works or disposed of the land to manufactu.
rers, or taken shares long since.
Here, then is source of enormous, unfail-
ing revenue to the city. Tbs land extends
for half mile below ths water works, and is
capable of containing fifty factories. Let any
man think what the sale of water for fifty fac.
tories would bring in. These factories would
be entirely independent Of water from the ca.
nal, and that is SO much the better for the city,
for the James River Company, SO we learn, is
adverse TO sparng any more water. Nobody's
rights interfere with the city's.

but whose inhabitants hold their position with
undying tenacity. To-day have been OBJ
serving with intense interest the Mississippi
the great " FATHER or RIVERS" mot "rd.
ters," as every body says now.a.days.) The
mud that Il bears along its current astonishes
the beholder. The color is little light az II
occasioned by pipe clay. The water seems to
be struggling to free itself from the mud; the
surface having circles more muddy than
others; but from the many whirling currents
the effort is neutralised. The Mississippi
seems to be a vast body of rolling and whirl.
ing currents, moving with some degree Of in.
dependence, yet all impelled onward with re-
sistless impetuosity in the general volume.
suppose this peculiarly of counter currents
in the Mississippi is occasioned partly by the
density of its earthly particles and by its
meanderings, the irregularity of its shores,
the snags and trees and bars that abound and
disturb its current ever on one side or the
other. II seems to be an impulsive and tickle
river God-this Mississippi. tits ever making
and unmaking. Now it will pile up grand
sand bar on Ole side and forthwith il attacks
with ruthless violence the opposite shore,
washing away vast bodies of earth with every
thing upon them; the tall trees, the fences
and often houses. Next year il may reverse
matters-put the sand bar on 'tother side and
wash away the shore it had formerly shielded
with bar. Again we find it forming bar in
its centre and washing both shores at that
point. 1t often cuts several passages through
rich district, and leaves several islands,
which in good time it will wash away, bring
ing its volume again into one body. These
things excite less wonder when we observe
that the Mississippi, or that part of it have
seen to-day, and suppose most all below,
passes through an alluvial region, where there
are no beds of stone to resist its ravages.
One of the Chickasaw bluffs presents re-
markable appearance. The river has been
gradually undermining them, and vast bodies
of earth, 100 feet high, with the trees standing
upon them, slide down, part being washed
away, while the balance awaits the next
food, the dead bodies of the trees killed by
the fall mixed up in all positions with the
earthly wreck. This memorable river seems
to envy the, dense forests which flourish on
its margins. "Ah, hal" says he, "you are
growing proud, we trees which spread your
green foliage over my waters and see your.
selves reflected in my bosom. You forget
that ye owe to me The prosperity and glory
We enjoy! must teach you lesson" And
he pitches his floods right into the bank-un-
dermines it and the proud trees tumble in and
are borne like corn stalks away. These
trees afterwards form the sawyers and snags
that are SO dangerous TO navigation. As the
Mississippi undermines the banks whenever it
wears them away they fall in perpendicularly,
and right at the very shore the water is often
amazingly deep.
Butt must close this long winded epistle.
