Mrs. Cunningham on the Eve OF Trial.

Since Mrs. Cunningham mpri sonment in the
Tombs. great number of persons have called
upon her daily. From Q o'clock in the morning
until in the afternoon, her time has been CON
stantlv occupied with calls For years no person
who has been confined in the prison has attrac-
ted so much attention, excited much curl
oslty. As the time for her trial has approached
the number has increased, and she has as nut
ter OF course. been occupied with her counsel in
preparation therefor
Our reporter called 10 see her this morning
bot she was engaged with her counsel. and the
interview was very brief Her appearance aud
manner were very cheerful, and sha EXPRESSED
lively satisfaction that the time for the tr,el was
SO near at hand.and seemed to entertain no doubts
at her aequttal. She said she had borne the SO.

with such hrmness and faith ns she was sure she
could not have felt had she not been SUSTAINED
with a consciousness of innocence
Her appearance has changed very little sinee
the incarceration. Her two daughters were with
her in the cell; their appearance was also quite
cheerful.
Mrs. Cunningham states that for twelve years
she has been a member of the PRESBYTERIAN
Church. and at present belongs to the society Of
which Mr.. Smith is pastor.-N. \. EUeaiag Posi-

Trade and MA N % features.

To a stranger. Lynchburg presents some an
omalous, and almost unaccountable features
The second city in the Union in point of wealth,
in proportion to population; with an industry
and energy everywhere APPARENT q restless nc
tivity that is manifest in the whrliug tide of men
that is constantly sweeping in the marts of bust
ness; it is yet wonderful that their interests and
pursnits have not been more diversified. There
is but one great staple, whilst tho natural resour
ces Of the city--its unsurpassed water power
the rich and almost llimitable back country
that is tributary toit all invite the investment
of capital ia varied pursuits. Immense beds OF
ore are accessible to us. which, by the agency Of
our water power could DO converted into nails
and sundry other useful articles that would sup
ply aIarge demand which is now met elsewhere.
And if cotton can any where be manufactured at
renunsrsting rates, it should be here. We have
every way the advantage of our Northern neigh
bors. being nearer to the cotton felds-blessed
with more genial CLINE, where less interruption
from long and severe winters is experienced
