JiIat the total of Virginia exports, including
all articles Of domestic and iurei IN grow tn
and manufacture, is s. PC, 500; imports ST.

are JJ224, OH, 45l; imports 2,Gl3, loo. "Ot

Richmond, were leaf tobacco to the amount OF

or articles both among exports and imports,
which although Of less value, are still inter
csting from the fact that they indicate natur-
al facilities which need but a moderate share
of improvement to redeem the State from the
charge Of commercial inactivity
a great amount of Virginia staples which
seeks foreign market is not credited to her
commercial statistics, but swclls those Of
New York and Baltimore, rs it is shipped
from those ports. Still, the Register. in re-
lieying us Of the charge ofinactivity, exposes
us to rs weighty one--blindness To our in
terests. Win such splendid harbors as the
waters Of the Potomac, York, the Elizabeth
and the James, and with the connection ~
railroad of tide-water with the Mississippi
valIey. we ought soon 10 export our products
direct to Europe, and reap the profits which
now fall in other hands.

fact which hangs like all incubus upon the com
merce Of New York. As ours is chiefly coast
wise trade the produce shipments continue, though
limited by the difficulty of making purchases IN
reasonable terms Millers have almost ceased
buying grain in the city. owing to the frmness with
which the rates are kept up. They find 1t more
advantageous to obtain it the South, where terms
are lower than here and thus their agents are sc"ur
ing that section in search of grain. The shipment
Eastward for the supply of tho New England States,
steadily goes on. Yesterday. for instance there
was sale of fifteen hundred barrels for shipment
