RICHMOND MANUFACTURES. = The schr.
FANNIE CURRIE, which sailed from this port
last week for New Orleans, had on board
from the Tredegar Iron Works, two Locomo-
tiyes and two Tenders, two Portable Engines
and two Saw Mills; and from the Armory Iron
Works, us tons Of Railroad Iron, and 100
tons spikes and chairs. The amount of in
surance upon this shipment was Sal 1000
Another saw mill was shipped by p. RHAM
by the same vessel.
One of the Engines was shipped to the
Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad, Mem
phis. and the other, and the railroad iron
spikes and chairs, to the Paint Creek Coal
Company, of Kanawha county, and takes the
route via sea to New Orleans, and thence up
| the Mississippi, the Ohio and the hanawha
| river, to the point of destination.
This shipment of machinery and iron IRON
Richmond manufactures, is highly gratifying
| to all the friends of the growing manutactu-
| ring interests of this city. With such lndica-
| tons in the absence Of a system OF improve
ments connecting US with the West, what
may we not expect when we are brought INTO
| direct connection with the West and South
| west by Railroads, and by our water line 10
the Ohio? A bright day indeed Will then
| dawn upon Richmond, bringing with II a
prosperity SURPRISING the most sanguine eH-
pectatiOns.

MINERAL WEALTH OF THE WEsT-CoV-
INGToN AND OHIO RAlLRoAD.--In another
article we notice the shipment of locomotive
and railroad iron, &c, to the Paint Creek
Coal Company of Kanawha county. This
company own valuable coal fields IN IA
nawha, and are building railroad three ana
half miles long, from their mines TO their
landing On the Kanawha river. In its route
this short road crosses the track OF the Gov
ngton and Ohio Road.
The Paint Greek Company, we are INFORM
ed, own some seven thousand acres OF laho'
which is supposed to be entirely traVersed
with coal seams There have been already
discovered fourteen seams on the land OF the
company, ali above the water mark. Thlr-
teen of them are superior bituminous anu
one camel coal. We learn that recent ex-
animation of Kanawha county, by scieh-
tifc Englshman, has satisfied him that that
county alone has greater deposite OF coal
than is found in England. With such re-
sources, it is easy to see what theatre IS
opened for manufacturing enterprise IN IA
nawha All that is necessary to bring these
resources into active use, is to complete the
great improvements which have been be-
gun and carried part of the way towards
this rich region of the State.
The route taken by the machinery sent
from this city to the Kahawha Companys
mines is remarkable. 1t goes by sea to New
Orleans, thence up the Mississippi, the Ohio
and the Kanawha rivers, at an expense for
transportation of about one thousand dol
lQrst Were the water line or the C0ving-
ton and Ohio Railroad finished, the locomo
tive could be conveyed from Richmond to
Kanawha for twenty-five dollars! This is
something for the Virginians to think Of
The fact is so striking, so startling, as to need
not one word of comment. We only call
public attention to it.

Davenport and Muscatine Markets
Our worthy contemporaries OF the Musca'
the Journal give SO tlimsy response t'
our statistical articles in regard to the mar
kets Of the respective cities, that We lee
almost disposed to le, the matter rest iron
wan, OF opposition. To give the favorl'e
and funny expression of an old friend We
wouldn't give the snap of COW 'hnmo
for mere assertion, unsustaned by proof.
The Journal says, in very feeble effort a
defence, that il is aware, from other sources
than the Gazette, that Davenport has lie
down on pork. Farmers can only get DE-.
goods-no cash, no, even groceries" etc
We are aut horned 10 state by pork pack
ers in this city that the above is unscrupr'
lousy untrue that they have refused az :
time this winter to pay portion; cash nc
rot even when i, seemed from the quantity
Of pork coming in from below rs though the
gates had been shut down al Museatine
and all q the farmers accustomed to trade
there had come to Davenport.
WHY, citizen Of one OF the back coun.
ties in coming into this place recently tool
the trouble to enunerate the wagon-load.
of pork he passed on the wsy and they reach
ed eighty. Subsequently in going TO Mus
ca,ne he performed the same ariihmctca
task and found upon adding up his column
it amounted to sir wagons, all told /! II.
spoke Of the fact to the merchants Of Mus
catine and told them that the farmers ac-
castomed to deal there had sought another
market.
But we are willing to rest the question
here and allow Davenport to repose upon
lis own merits, we'll satisfied that as lis az,
vantages and the inducements held out BY
lis merchants to the farmers become known
its trade with the interior must continue to
be greatly enlarged
