Virginia.

The Richmond Wing puts forth oc-
casionally a rather curious notion.
One Of its latest suggestions is, that
the State of Virginia, to create more
diffused and general interest among
her citizens in behalf of slavery, shall
provide that every individual be made
the owner of one slave, the slave not
to be subject to execution for the pay
ment of the owners debts. of course
the owner would not be permitted by
law to sell his slave, and we presume,
that, if he should refuse to accept one,
he would be cxiled from the limits of
the State.
1t appears to us that the carrying
out of this project would require Vir-
ginia to have vastly more than her
fair proportion of slaves, and so be I'M
Just to the rest of the slave States.
Those Virginians, who now have nu-
merous slaves, might not choose to
part with any, and could not be forced
to do so, and therefore the necessary
supply for giving all the non-slave-
holders a slave apiece would have to
be drawn from the rest of the slave
States. Probably a hundred and fifty
thousand additional slaves would
have to be imported into Virginia to
fill the bill, and, if the proposed law,
not satisfied with giving every grown
white man a big niger, should seek
to mould the rising generation Alright
by giving every white boy little
niger, the requisite addition of mig.
gers to the Old Dominion would ap.
proximate half a million. Well, sup
posing the price of niggers, which
would Of course be immensely en-,
HANGED by the tremendous demand,
to average $500, the cost to the State
would be somewhere in the neighbor,
hood of four hundred millions of dol
dollars Still if the Old Dominion
has the funds and doesn't know what
else to do with them, this might not
be too much for her to pay towards
interesting her people in favor Of
slavery.
No doubt the greater part of such
virginians. as J. are e, niggerlesss, will j,
gift from the State. The doctrine of
the New York Subterrancans few
years ago was that every landless
man was entitled to land and their
rallying-shout was "votc yourself a
farm" Unlnestionably quite as pc.
tent cry in Virginia would be vote
yourself niger. Who could with
stand it?

Sioux Falls.

The Sioux City Eagle gives the fol-
lowing fattering, but we doubt not
truthful account of Sioux Falls. 1t
will be of much interest to many of
our readers who are directly interest
ed as stockholders in the city laid out
there, and property in the vicinity:
Sioux FALLs.-Sioux Falls, in Daco-
tab Territory, is a place of consider
able interest just now to the emf
grant, who is endeavoring to better
his circumstances in the selection of
a Western home. The country ada
cent on either side of the Big Sioux
river, offers great inducements to the
farmer, while timber is sufficiently
abundant to answer the purpose of a
large settlement for long term of
years. The Falls themselves afford
one of the best water powers in the
United States,-the whole body in the
distance of three-eight of a mile falling
over everlasting beds of rock, more
than one hundred feet. And herein we
consider that the falls has two very
important advantages, the great OBJ
lection to steam power in the West,
is the scarcity and high price of fuel
at the falls is sufficient water power
for all purposes for ages to come,
thus entirely superceding the necessi-
ty of employing steam. Another add
vantage is the endless quantity Of
building stone, which can easily be
had in any movable size on either
side of the river, which may also be
made vast saving of timber. None
will doubt the ultimate growth and
of the falls, who have
visited the very romantic spot. There
is already quite settlement in that
region, and we learn from a gentle
man who has recently arrived from
there, that probably one thousand
acres would be cultivated this season,
and the crop harvested in the country
Immediately around the Falls. Our in
left several breaking teams"
employed. and the saw mill
which has been out of repair the great
er part of the season, is again doing
good service in the production Of
lumber. We are gratiied to note the
that is being made in
the Big Sioux valley. 1t is evident
to all observers that the valley of the
Big Sioux at least as far up as the
Falls, is naturally tributary to this
City, and we can but rejoice at the
prosperity and advancement which is
being made, and the citizens of this
place should extend the right hand of
fellowship, together with the warmest
to those hardy pio-
neers who arc making the wilderness
around the Falls to blossom with the
homes of civilization.

New RAILROADS. IN MINNEsoTA-We
learn that the contracts for the Cedar
Valley road from Minneapolis to the
Iowa State Line were awarded on the
18th ult., as follows: The lower forty
two miles to r. B. Mason & Co., twen-
ty-five to Nash g. McGrorty, and
twenty to Bradley & Co. These
parties commence work Immediately,
and the Hastings Ledger says, will
probably have the road entirely graded
sometime during the coming year.
The operations on the Minnesota
and Pacific Railroad are in course of
vigorous prosecution. Nearly 400
men are already at work above St.
Anthony upon an extent Of fourteen
miles. Two miles of grade are COM
pleted. The work will be resumed be.
tween St. Paul and St. Anthony as
soon as the settlement Of some ques-
tions affecting the right of way, per-
NIT the Company to fix the final loca-
ton of the road.
The Minnesota Valley Railroad has
been put under contract from Shake
pee to Mankato. Mr.. Selah Chamber
lain, from Ohio, has taken the con.
tract, and has already placed a
number of men at work near Shacko
pee, from which place it will be vigo
rously prosecuted towards St. Peter
and Mankato.

as much as 500 day with rockers.
All of those at work, indeed, were do
ing well and in good spirits.
Between Fort Hope and Sailors
Diggings there were, when Mr.. Bush
left, about three hundred and fifty
miners, none of whom were making
less than $40 per day, which is far be-
low the avererage. Only thirty-tive
or forty men are at work on Thomp-
sons river.
Mr.. Bush says the mines increase in
richness as you ascend the river. He
comes to replenish his stock, and de-
signs returning as speedily as posi-
BILE.
Two miners, of Steilcoom, returned
last evening from Frazer river in a
canoe, after an absence of six weeks.
They state that during low stage Of
the river they made $l5 per day each.
Four rockers near them were making
from four to nine and a half ounces
each per day.

BLOODY INDIAN BArrLE.-From the
Red River country we learn that a
fierce and bloody battle occurred be-
tween hc.. ucar Big Stone Lake, in
Minnesota, on the l4th of July. The
The Chippewas lay in ambush, and
when their enemies came within shoot
ing distance, dropped twenty of them
at the first fire. A hand-to-hand en-.
counter then ensued, both parties
fighting desperately. In this the
Sioux lost six more of their men, but
killed eleven Of the Chippewas.

A TRUE MAN.

Francis ?. Blair, Jr., the eloquent
rrcsyntative from the St Louis Dis
trict, has received denomination,
and, in company with his Democratic
and american competitors, is going
through the canvass. In a recent
speech at Flusiant, Missouri, and in
reply to Mr. Barrett Dem, who most
unjus,ly attempted to identify Free
Democracy with Garrisonians, Mr..
Blair used the following truthful Ian
guage, which, it will be seen, embod-
les q beautiful compliment to our own
favored State:
If we believe emancipation will be
conducive TO the growth, develop
mcnt and prosperity of the State, we
should labor to achieve it. l do not
believe in sitting still and doing moth
ing. Believing it will benefit the con-
dition Of those who by the beneficcnce
Of our laws are made citizens with us
in the enjoyment of this princely heri-
tagc, believing something should be
done, which shall place Missouri on
the line Of progress, and in the work
of rapid development, no terror, no
threat, no epithet, can deter me from
marching right straight to the mark
for the accomplishment of the glory
and prosperity of this State which I
love, aud of this people who have SO
generously supported me. Look a
Iowa-.the other day a Wilderness;
naked prairic-now she almost out
strips Missouri, and in the next Con
gress will send as many representa-
tives as Missouri. Will you furnish
me a clue to this prosperity? Why
it is the vast superiority of white la
Dor over forced labor, and believing
this | shall not stand here and cry out
"Don't agitate,' "Don't agitate" In
all the States where emancipation has
taken effect it has been on the after
born. No one has vested right ir
property not in existence. On tina
principle we could never emancipate
but we have the right to say that al
born after a certain date shall be free
and besides we can legislate them on
Of the State, so that we can have
homogeneous white population.

River was higher at the last freshet
by five feet than it has been since the
great food of 1851. 1t lacked three
feet and five inches of reaching the
high water mark Of that year. The
floating bridge at that place swung
around to the shore, where it remained
and can be easily replaced when the

was slightly injured.
