has been appointed by the Government to re
construct the almost demolished railroads in
Virginia over which the Federal troops and

its way TO the Pennsylvania Railroad, Mr..
Scott erected line of telegraph to the Gov.

has rendered more valuale aid TO Gen. Scot
than his Philadelphia namesake."

sy The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th
inst. has significant editorial article upon
the subject of iron and coal. 1t attributes
national power, prosperity and independence
chiefly to an abundant supply of iron and
coal, and concludes that " the southern states
are IN more danger of distress this hour from
a deficiency in iron than in all other COM
modities whatever" 1t laments the abandon
ment of the iron furnaces in Virginia and
Tennessee on account of the non-community
of coal, and insists that the safety Of the
South requires early steps to be taken By the
confederate government to bring into requl-
sition two regions of country in tie southern
states in which abundant supplies of the spe-
cies of coal suitable for the manufacture of
iron exyt in positions accessible to beds of
iron ore 1t adds Until the resources of
the South in iron and coal are developed we
cannot pretend to be classed among the great
flowers ef the earth" and says, . the confed-
crate government should look after these in
terests, for the question Of independence may
soon become no other than the question OF
an abundant supply Of iron and coal
