There is one grievance here which ought to
be remedied. Upon the arrival of the Balti-
more boats, bringing passengers from the
landings on the Potomac river, there is always
difficulty in procuring porters to convey the
baggage of the passengers to the hotels, or to
private houses The boats, generally, reach
the wharf in the night The baggage has to
be entrusted to entirely irresponsible persons
who charge what they please A dozen boys
will seize dozen trunks or boxes, and you
have to pay each boy Now, could not an ar

VIRGINIA ITEMS.

A correspondent of the Lynchburg Virgini-
an recommends Convention OF the Farmers
of Virginia to consult on the agricultural con-
dition and the labor system of the State.
Governor Peirpoint and family returned to
Richmond on Saturday evening from visit
to Washington and points further North.
The Governor is quite sick
Both the Old and New Lines of river steam
ers on Saturday carried passengers from Rich
mond to Norfolk for nothing. The City Point,
of the New Line, added band of music to her
other attractions, and left the wharf at Rockets
with flying coors, having on board, as we'll as
the Collyer, large number of passengers.
The New York Evening Post says that
''Virginia is, next to Missouri, the richest
State in the Union in mineral wealth, natural
fe1 tility, and everything which tends to make
a State prosperous.
The Farmer, is the title Of monthly agrlcul-
tnral journal to be published in Richmond, by
Messrs. Shields 4 Elliott, Of the Wing. 1t Is
to be devoted to agriculture, the mechanic arts,
and to household industry, and we have no
doubt is to be first class journal OF ITS kind.
AS such paper is very much needed IN our
State at this time, especially as there IS an
entire change in cur system OF industry and
agriculture, we hope the people will extend to
it liberal support.
VIM. Fl. B. Gusts, Of Accomac county, has
been elected to Congress from the first Con
gressional distict.

New York Tribune, says that the statement

Beecher gave his unqualified Endorsement Of

Henry ard Beecher, in his last sermon,


Henry Ward Beecher, in his last sermon,
thus spoke of Gen. Robert E. Lee: 81 cannot
read, except with disapprobation, much that
has been written with regard to the state OF
things at the South: | was panied with many
of the criticisms that were passed upon Gen.
Ice upon his assuming the presidency OF
college. When our history comes to be writ
ten it cannot be covered that Gen. Lee COM
mitted himself to the cause Of great wicked
ness, rebellion but, since that time, his course
and career, on behalf of those whose service
he entered, have been devoid almost OF re-
proach. When the war ceased who could
have been more modest? Who could nave
been more true to his word and honor than he ;?
And when called by his fellow citizens to be
president OF college, these carplng criticisms
are INDUCED in. Must be not do something
for living? For my own part | was thank
full that he was called to that presidency, and
I have reason to believe that the young men
who graduate under him will in the main be
true and faithful to the Government he lives
under, and that he will set them an example.
This Injurious criticism is not magnanimous ;
we are the stronger party, and It there IS to
be magnanimity anywhere we are to show It,

SKINS AND FURs OF WILD ANIMALS
The season for trapping and shooting wild ami
mails is at hand, and the campaign against the
denizeAs of the woods will, we infer from va
rious indications, be prosecuted with great vig-
or. 1t has been the custom with few of our
country people to preserve the skins and furs
of the animals taken by them We would
advise them, now that these articles have be-
come Of great value and will be much sought
after by our hatters and furriers, who will pay
good prices for all well-preserved peltries,
whether of coon rabbit, muskrat or mink
We learn that, so great is the demand, that
manufacturers will, later in the fall and during
the coming winter, send travelling agents
through the country to make purchases Be-
sides, there will always be found a ready sale
in this city. Persons will do well to preserve
all skins, and to pay some attention to prepar-
ing them for the market

For the Day Book. !

lnc " dLtE D.
At very recent meeting of the Common
Council, Mr.. Editor, the debt of the city of
Norfolk was reported at nearly two millions
dollars i 1874, 000) while the total value of
all the real estate Tangible property was re-
ported at five millions (S5,GG2, 1881 Add to
this half million (5OO,0O0) for these prepos-
ferrous watet-works, with accumulating inter-
est thereon, and we would have about two
and half millions (2,5OO,OOO) for the aggre-
gate debt of the city probably more) when
these water-works would be finished.
1t is said that, when the camel is down, it
takes only straw to break his back. Here
we have something more than straw-we
have load that would squelch an elephant, or
stagger mastodon. How the city of Nor
folk could rise with such burden, would
puzzle the generation that will live after the
next flood. ...
Suppose, Mr. Editor that these marvellous
works that are to be built for some 800 900
specie, should really call for three or four
times as much-say $2,0OO,OOO city bonds at
present rate of discount, how in Gods name
could the issue be met? How could the city
pay for even the paper that the bonds would
be printed on? We must own we are not
| financiers enough to answer the question.
If we might venture to express an opinion
in the absence Of proper engineering estimates,
we should think that to bring good supply
Of clear water from the upper country and
across the arms Of Elizabeth river, and to dis
tribute it to the allies of Norfolk, houses could
not cost less than $1,500,OOO or $4,000, 900
specie, and we are willing that our whole
Fenian brotherhood, if opponents to rash ac-
ton on this water question, should be set
down as ignoramuses, if this idea should not
prove correct. We should not ''go it blind
