XiIeinia Ruins

Philosopher Greeley. of the \. Y. Tribune,
thus diseourses of the ruins Of Virginia:
The ruins of jamestown bat typify the ruins
of Virginia at large. and all her ruins equally
deserving artistic record. For example, Nor
folk Is commercially rain aud Mount Vernon
is domestically another ruin aud Richmond. If
not ruin might a. well be one as be sustained
by the trade in human flesh. The fields of Nir
ginia. too. ruined pride and lily, and tobac-
co raisng, chewing and splitting have cantrbn-
ted 10 wear them out and drive chiyary to new
lands. The people, too, are intellectually ruin
cd
The Express, of the same city, replies to the
Philosopher in the following language:
''Bah What ignorance or fanatcsm Nor
folk Is Ia high state of prosperity. Richmond
is as prosperous as any city in the Northern
States. There are some better farms in Nir-
ginia. with higher science displayed on them,
than anywhere in New York. Abcmare county
has scarcely its equal in our State. The people
have amount Of brain and power we fail IN,
else they would never govern rs they do
There are not now living in the Northern States
more than two trained statesmen Everett and
Fimore) equal to Ryes and Hunter Bayly, of
Accomac, ignOrant Aecomac even, has more
practical aud actual power. from mind and ex-
pcrienee. than any one Northern State III the
House of Representatives. The people of Nir-
giuia have their vices and their faults; und the
breed Of its mighty men has in some degree run
ont. but the State only needs manufactures Ia be
restored TO its ancient power. The vice OF its
system il. that it is now almost exclusively agr-
cultural. The undstingnshing saunders upon
whole States of our own conntrymcn are simply
disgusting.

Its language is very resolutc, and it Is the most

THE DAILY DISPATCH.
BARNUMs AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

BARNUMS AUTOBIOGRAPHY.
We are anxious to see the Autobiography
which Barnum is writing for publication. 1t
must be both an instructive and entertaining
narrative. It is reasonable to suppose that
the writer is preparing il for his own intel.
lectual qualification and for the advantage OF
his fellow. men, as he must have made money
enough by this time to crafty any ordinaryap
petite for iucre. The making record Oh one
own life can only be pleasant to such virtu-
Gus and benefcent persons as barnum ana
Vincent Nolte There are few ordinary NOR
falls who would desire to live their lives over
again, and who are not content with the obi
CATION to face certain record which is be-
ing kept for them, without anticipating that
performance by making up a record for
themselves.
The Barnums and Notes, however, are
either not afflicted with any such disagreea-
BILE sensitiveness. or they have not designed
to give the world faithful autobiographies.-
We have already noticed the singular omis-
sion in the autobiography of Vincent Nolts'
of the most important event OF his life, the
purchase of between four and FIVE millions oil
dollars worth of cotton while he was a bank
rupt in New Orleans This curious fact had
to besupplied by Richmond gentleman who
happened to be in New Orleans at the time
of the transaction. We hardly suppose that
Barnum has any such interesting piece of in
telligence to disclose, but he could neverthe-
less be highly edifying on the subject OF
Joyce Heth, the Waverly House, the Sea
Serpent and other famous feats OF human
ingenuity 1t is important that the public
should know all about the life OF this sue
cessful Snowman, who deserves, when ne
dies, to be canonized as the Patron SAINT OF
Yankee tricksters. BY all means erect IN
New York, grand temple to Humougs'-
the Crystal Palace will answer,-and place a
bronze statue of Saint Phineas over the prin-
cipal entrance. AS to persons of purely IN
tellectual eminence, such as Webster, Cal
houn, or Clay, they must be content to have
others write their lives, but, it will not DO for
such as Barnum to trust that duty to others :
In all soberness, however what do the peo-
ple care about Barnum's life, unless he ex-
plains his money making tricks, and what
juggler ever revealed the mysteries OF his
craft

LOCAL MATTERS.

To THE LApIEs.-We desire the ladies
Of Rich mond and the State at large to bear ia mind
that the Virginia Mechani o Institute design hold
ing Fair al their hall Main street between 9th
and fe.h, about the lst OF November kexf and that
they are expected 10 lend them helping hand on
the occasion. Without their aid, the Mechanics
need not hope to succeed bat backed by their coun.
tenance and support a failure will be impossible
The hall room In which the exhibi ion Is to be
held, is one admirably adapted to the purpose of
showing needle work, paintings, etc, to the best
advantage: and az everything entrusted TO the In
stilute will be kept in the house, persons having
very fine articles to exhibit need have no fears of
their injury from weather rough usage
The Committee on Exhibition intend addressing
circular to the people of the State In the course
oil few days, setting forth the objects and aims of
the Institute, and calling the friends of the en-
terprise for help. They will no doubt endeavor to
secure the aid OF the mech anes and manufacturers
of our sister towns and cities in making the Fair an
attractive one and the objects of the Institute arc
designed to benefit industrial labor throughout the
Comm 1nwealth, DO petty jealousy will prevent all
who do SO from participating in this great
movement
Let, then, the Ladies. the manufacturers and the
mechanics OF Richmond aud the State at large. say
that this Institution shall flourish, and that the con-
ternplated exhibition in November next shall be one
worthy of the occasion, and success is Inevitable
Al that is now necessary is energy and industry
The time is long enough to do a great deal, and
much must be done promptly.
