Mineral Wealth of LYnchbnrg.


The question sometimes asked, perhaps doubt

best answered by another Uhdt is The use Of
any thing 1t is the same in character the
question, "What is the use of n foundation 10 u

ready for that question, may, however, perhaps
without improperly, be given ut makes young
spirits happy" One of the most distinguished
thoologans of any age once remarked, "he who
makes child happy for one hour is n oo-worker
with God :"
A better place than Lynehburg for learning
the elements and productions OF our globe enn
probably not be found. 4 walk of AN hour may
present those elements, the most important, 10
the view of any one wishing 10 know them. The
great mineral wealth OF the surrounding country,
Immediately accessible, by railroads and canals
To this important, concentrating aud radiatng
point, may furnish, greatly 10 the benefit of all
concerned, specimens of natural resources Who'll
ly ineNhnu ,tiblc, and intimately connected with
the profitable investment already nude in public
works; also, TO their successful completion md

Rocks determine the character of rns. They
indicate the kind of ores crystals and all mineral
substances waTanting search for them. Ger
tain ores and crystals are confined II certain
rocks. Chrome ore Is found only IN magnetism
rocks. a knowledge OF thnt fact led 10 the dis
covery of this useful mineral in such abundance,
as to be furnished in large quantities for cxpor
tation to foreign countries; also 10 n reduction in
price of chrome yellow from SD to ID cents per
pound. Magnetism rocks are found in the imme-

erals deposited in magnetism rocks, are manulae-
turcd rich variety of chemicals, extensively
used in manufactures, medicine, and, of course, in
commerce. furnishing freight for canals and rail
roads.
lfcolloctions of assorted and labelled specimens
of Lynchburg minerals, nude by its citizens,
should not result in magnetism chemicals aud
thus increase the articles Of commerce, and of
wealth, some resources both of wealth and OF
science must be thus developed. At all events,
delightful, invigorating and instructive rambles
would animate the young spirits Of the city. H.

We find the amount necessary to raise
by the property tax, Sl,4l1 900
Being Si52.0O0 more than the Auditor esti-
mates the present tax will produce. But, to
bring that amount of net revenue into the Trea-
sury, the taxes must yieldS per cent more to de-
tray the costs OF collection, delinquencies, &c,
that is, SisS,O0O. This would require an in
crease in the property tax of nine and half cts.
on the hundred dollars.
In this estimate, have neglected the deficit
before showed of near 100000 on September
Both, 1855. Ifthis were funded, as former de-
heits have been, it would increase the charge of
the public debt by $4,000 per annum. | have
also omitted any count of the remaining sub
scriptons, which will probably be called for be-,
fore October, 1856, amounting to So SOC, SID
These would make further addition to the an
nual interest and sinking fund of SI79,OOO for
which our immediate successors must provide
So that another increase of net revenue of S2l4-
900, equivalent to gross revenue of 1921 900
will then be required, and to produce this. four
and half cents more must be added to the pro
perry tax.
have made no calculation for the guaranteed
bonds of the James River and Kanawha Comnanv
which may still further increase our expenses bv
the yearly charge of Sl35, 900 and our taxes nv
three cents.
In the g estimates, have supposed the whole
increase OF taxation to be made in the propertv
tax, which need not be raised so high, if the l.
eense tax is lncreased but that tax also comes
IN most cases out of the consumer, and to raise if
would be measure of doubtful policy. | sbonld
also say that have supposed the amount of tav
able property to remain at what the Auditor esti-
mates 1t for the next year. and that / have made
no addition 10 his estimate of dividends that p,a
be expected from the now unproductive stocks IN
public works. In most of our financial oxbihts
