its magnificent harbor, its fine inland
communication by bays, rivers, canals and

reason why it, should not do the great

Contrast, for a moment the relative
prices of agricultural productions in the
two sections. Take the article of Indian
corn; the middle and Northern States gan
not enter into the calculation, os they do
not produce enough corn forthsmuss, but
are purchasers of this grain. sLetshe,
West and the South try conclusions, on
this one article. Take the markets of
Norfolk, Wilmington, Charleston, and
Savannah, and we shall find, in a series Of
years, that corn will average per busael,
eighty cents. Nor are the markets diff
eultof access. from theinteriar.s-I he4ines
of communication throughout the South by
rail and water, 10 tho sea, are numerous
and :cheaF. We turn to the West, and
here do we find corn selling from year to
year, in her principle markets, of Chica-
90, Buffalo and Cincinnati, certainly
not averaging forty. cents per bushel.-
And when landed in these markets. it is
thousands of miles from tbesea, that great
| highway to the markets of the world. We
light pursue this subject much further.
For the present, we content our selves
with what we have said, asking from our

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.


1.-THE following, it is tobe presumed, is from
the same source as other exaggerated or per-
verted stories lately sent forth from North
Carolina, and which have been denied by
Gov. Holden ard others in part. The public
dinners referred to are probably the usual
political barbecues incident to canvass:
RALEIGH, N. c., August 5.-The wealthy
leaders of the late rebellion, who expect to
control the coming State Convention sndtb
political affairs of North Carolina, have for
the past five weeks been giving public din
uers in many of the counties of the State to
returned members of the late rebel armies. A
committee was appointed, sndia day desigs
mated for like display of hospitalities at the
county seat Of this county: AS this looked
like public exhibition ofapprobaiion to re-
bel soldiers for their attempt to overthrow the
Government, it was supp essed by Maj, Gen.
Ruger.
WILMINGTON, N. c., Aug. s,-As the friends
of deceased soldiers are either coming to this
place at great expense or are willing to know
if their friends can be disintered, and if it is
necessary for them to come aud do it, the f, l.
lowing fact should be generally known as per-
tanning to Wilmington, Fort Fisher, Smith
vile and vicinity; No bodies can be- disins
tered until November, 1865.

THE BURNT TOBACCO Is THE STATE
RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES.

The Code Of Virginia (1s6o) provides in
chapter SO, sec ions IS and So, that H.
"1f any tobacco in any warehouse, wherein
the same was received for inspection, shall,
within year from the date of its being res
ceiyed, he damaged therein by fire, the owner
thereof may recover from the State sum
equal TO the damage go sustained.
ssIf any tobacco stored in any warehouse
belonging to the State be so damaged at any
time while remaining in said warehouse, the
owner b ay in like manner recover the amount
of his damages" ,4,.4.,s.e. ..,,,f
Ga the 10th Of October, 1868, The erich
mond Legislature" to protect the interests of
the State, in the matter of the value of tobac,
co stored in the State warehouses, re-enacted
the last quoted section, with the following
provision sf4.a 2'F.-tf-ssssa-i
." But if said tobacco stored in any wares
house belonging to the State be 80 damaged
after remaining in the wareh oase more than
a year, then the damage SO recovered shall
not exceed in amount the value of the tobacco
at the time when the same was received for
inspection" 5.,.'rl. Isl. Ia Il
This proviso is, by President Johnson's
proclamation, recognizing the restored gov
ernment, "null and void" The Code, hows
ever, remains in force and the, important
question arises--"Is the Stats liable for the
thirty millions worth of tobacco destroyed in
the public warehouses in this city on the Sd
of April last?" The courts, when organized,
may be called upon to decide this question. -
The burning was done under a law of the
Confederate Congress- TO which law those
who permitted their tobacco to remain in the
warehouse may be assumed to have assented.
The general commercial law, too, excepting
from the benefits of insurance those who suffer
by an act of war, will have an important
bearing on the question We doubt not, if
the subject is eyer brought before judicial
tribunal, it will be decided as justice and the
law demand = Richmond Wig

THE VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE.

We publish to-day the notification Of the
speedy resumption of the exercises of this time
honored and valu able institution. Since
1889 this school has been in successful opera
ton in Virginia, having during that time sent
forth as graduates as many young men, well
panoplied for the battle of life, as any insti-
tuition in the State.
Indeed, no institution in the country, we
believe, ever achieved q more brilliant sue
cess than this, considering the difficulties
which attended its inception, and which it ems
countered through long years whilst, under
the guidance of its accomplished Superintend
ent, it struggled on TO establish its claim to
excellence among the first institutions of the
State. ALI will agree that for years- before
the Inauguration of the sorrowful days which
came !. upon u.s. but which happily are now
gone forever, this school had attained TO a
most enviable reputation. 1t rested upon 50
firm basis as to secure applications for its
advantages and privileges from almost every
portion of the Union. Proud of its success,
and rejoicing in its usefulness, Virginia
pointed 10 it as among her chief ornaments ;
and hence we now all hail the prospect of it's
revival with pleasure proportioned to the
anxiety with which we desired its restorR-
ton. ~
Aud as we review its past history, and re-
call The eviction and the self sacrificing
spirit which distinguished the efforts of
those faithful men, who, in sunshine ard in
storm, battled on so bravely for It's success,
we are happy to see that the same faithful
hands are busy with the work of reconstruct
ton and restoration. We know that, with
proper encouragement and support, we may
safely confie the work of resuscitation 10
their hands. r.p4 9'i ssasiafl..4 Ia. & ~
To command the neculiar advauta0as and
excelencies of the course of iusiruction which
is pursued at the Institute would be superfu-
Gus at this day. We know that the people OF
Virginia appreciate the advantages which this
school affords, and will not be slow to prepare
| their boys for the resumption of their places
at the time indicated. For ourselves, we can
only say that, as in the past, this noble insti-
tuition has been the pride of the state, we
| hope and believe the inture has in store for il
"a name and a fame which shall eclipse the
brightness ofiits past career!- Rich. Wing.
