;ear. s.sos,4 9s bushels instead o

for the year, s,Sos, 402 bushels instead OF
5000, 900 as reported by committee on oysters
Never were the recommendations OF any man
more fully sustained, not by speculation, but by
actual, tangible experiment, than has the Oyster
Fundum recommendation Of Governor Wise,
been demonstrated by the report Of Chief In
spector Parker.
And never was man better suited for place
than w. III. Parker for Chief Inspector. Bold,
fearless, intrepid. undaunted, he has been
faithful over Il few things" Virginia will make
him ruler over many" vessels for catching
Yankees stealing our negroes and oysters.
But taxation, unrelievcd by upwards OF II
quarter Of q million Of dollars, must continue
to weigh down the energies Of the people, until
q subsequent Legislature can enact this most
wise and necessary law. Another 1000 900
bushels will be pillagcd from Virginia, untaxed
and upaid for, before relief can come.
This water-mine upon the ocean front of |ir-
ginia, can be worked to the rcliefof the States
Indebtedness, and the anti-intcrnal improve
mcnt portion of Virginia lend the helping hand
of powerful aid to the West. The law will yet
pass, justice will yet DC done, and taxation will
be relieved. The oyster findum, protected
and guarded by laws, will continue for all IN
TO spread before us not only the luscious Of
ralres so tempting and sweet, but also the
! yellow dollar, to the relief Of the whole State.
1t belongs To no county-it belongs to no sec
tion-it is virginia's throughout her length
and breadth; but it was an Eastern mana
tide.water man-that, forgetting the preiudices
! of ncighborhood and section, has spread open
this mine for the benefit of the whole State
and he must now transfer to y Western man
the full and future development Of this yalu-
able mine. We fear, neither Mr.. Letcher nor
any man, other than a tidc-water man, can fully
arrange the minutia Of such a law; but, in the
person of Chief Inspector Parker, Mr.. Lctchcr
will have an officer fully competent to the dis
charge of all the duties that can arise under
its provisions. He will only have to see that no
effort of his is left unemployed to pass the law,
and turn over to Inspector Parker those minute
arrangements that will be necessary to its
SUCCESS. The recommendation Of an East.
crn Governor upon an Eastern subject, can
very we'll become the policy for the whole
State Of a Western Governor; and we hope the
views of Mr.. Letcher will concur with those OF
Governor Wise, upon this important subject.

The only articles showing any increase ni
supply are chiefly those ofSpontarcoI> growth,
such as mahogany and spices. All prodIc .a
requiring any material labor for their prodlr-
tons. have enormously declined. If enamel
patton has had this effect upon the produc-
tons Of the Island, the social evils and degra;!a-
ton it has inflicted upon the negroes themselves.
has been still more disastrous. The London
Post" of December G, 1856, contains a me'no
rial presented to Mr.. Labouchcrc. then Secrets-
nv Of State for the colonies, by West India
merchants and others. in which n wrctchcd
picture is drawn of the condition Of Jamaica,
and in which abolitionists Of the Carlyle and
Sutherland school. as well as those Of n lower
type in America, can set what would be the
condition Of things were the slave population
of the United States TO undergo a similar
, change. After stating that the Island had
reached the lowest state Of degradation. and
| that real estate had to a great extent. become
valuclcss, they say:
The industrial condition of the inhabi-
tants is at the lowest cbb, and their moral
and social condition is not 4 whit more elc-atcd.
Not only has the supply of labor been dimin-
ishcd by the Discrimination to work which cha
racterizcs the negro population, but likewise by
the reduction in the number Of people by the
scourges of small pox and cholera. The NOR
taiity from the former disease arises from the
neglect Of vaccination and the DEFICIENCIES of
medical assistance. which has been a serious
evil since the abolition of slavery. The nor
tality from cholera, As official reports establish
ed. was enormously augmented by filth and
the neglect Of the most ordinary hygiene re-
sources. In 1850 and 1857 onc-fifth Of the
population was attacked BY cholera, and it has
been estimated that 10000 fell victims to its
ravagcs. From this combination Of circum-
stances, Il dcarth of labor has arisen, by which
the Island is threatened with universal bank
ruptcy and ruin"

DARK HoURs.-There are dark hours that
mark the history of the brightest years. For
not whole month in many millions of
the past, perhaps, has the sun shone brilliant
lv all the time, and there have been cold and
stormy days in all. And yet the mists and
shadows of the darkest hours have been dis
sipated. The most cruel ice fetters have been
broken and dissolved, and the most furious
storm looses its power to harm. And what
IA parable is this to human life-of our out
side world, where the heart works in its
shadowing of the dark hour, and many
cold blast chills it to the core But what
matters it MAN is born hero, and it is
only in darkness and storms that heroism
gains its greatest and best development, and
the storm hears it more rapidly on to its des-
tiny. Despair not, then. Neither give up;
while one good power is yours, use 1t. Dis
appointment will be realized. Mortifying
failure may attend this failure and that one
but only be honest and struggle on, and
all viii be we'll
