TRlr TO BorEr,uRT-Mr. Ediior:- Permit
u constant reader of your paper to communicate
n sketch of trip recently taken to Botetoult hy
way of the canal. l lett the city of hills "n Mon
day last for the above named place, with view
of returning in day or two, but having met with
many of my good old Wing friends, who pro-
verbal for their hospitality and Kindness, my stay
was longer than had at first anticipated. On
reaching Buchanan, n town which was once, with
in my recollection, brisk and lively was truly
nstonishcd to find such quiet and inactivity in that
place, possessing as it does many natural ndvnI-
tages. put up at the Bptetourt house and was
kindly cared for by mine host Mr.. llaney, who.
by the way, keeps agood house and one that would
do credit to more prosperous Virginia towns. Tins
place is the present terminus Of the James River
and Kanawha Canal, although much money has
haon yncpdel above Rurhnnnu the
ton of Locks, &C.
Leaving this town my route led over the noun
tains by way of Dibrcll's Sprngs-the present
proprictors making additions to the improve
ments already there, in anticipation of a go'dly
number Of visitors the approaching season. There
is "a we'll graded turnpike leading over to the
Springs. Along the read observed several old
iron furnaces vacated, and understand that sach
is the case in regard to the most of them at the
present time. Why is it that Virginia with its
inexlaustible beds of coal and iron, two elements,
enough within themselves to make a State great
and powerful, and were they fully developed would
give life to hundred towns and villages, and Ia
Dor to thousands Of mechanics and working men,
should at this day scarcely have furnace in blast,
and scarcely rolling-mll or anything of the kinn
within her limits? This question very na'urali'
presents itself rs the spectator looks ut the dismal
scene presented on every hand, of scores of manu-
factories suspended % public Improvements un-
finished, and the spirit and enterprise of many of
our people almost crushed our. Is it because
are as a people lazy and ndolent. is it for the
want of wholesome enactments, such rs would al
ford security and protection to labor and industry?
Our standar,l-hearers, Messrs. Goggin & g..
are very popular in Botctourt notwithstanding it
is one of the strong,holds of Democracy. Some
Democrats will vote for them, and would not be
surprised if Honest John Lctcher should yet have
II hard road to travel, ut least that is the general
impression. OLD VIRGINIA.
ALL WEsr-No E,sr-We give below says the
Petersburg MfeNigenccr another batch of honest
Johns appointments, made without saying tur-
key" to Mr.. G"ggin. 1t will be that they
are all Vest Of the Blue Ridge, and will embrace
the whole period between the opening of the
vass and the lst of May, leaving for Eastern Nir-
cinia only about M,ee wceks. But we do not Won
der at Letchers obvious lcpugnance, as manifest
ed in his programmes, to stamping excursion
this side of the mountains. We hope that Mr.
Gosgin will thoroughly explore the Eastern coun-
ties with or without the presence of his compcti-
tor rs the latter may clect-and expose to the
people the enormous abuses of power and the de-
oeptions of which the party against which he is
battling have been guilty.

ic candidate for Governor Mr. Letcher, will address
