OF Virginia is industriously and actively en-
ploycl, in pointing out to our own people, ana
TO those from other States the great natural az
yantagcs of Virginia, in It's coal fields, Its water
power, its mineral treasures, its fertile soil, and
its fine climate Great and important as our
resources in COAL it is said in the Richmond
Wing, that Virginia could conduct the manu-
featuring interests on large scale without
steam, and therefore, without the expense Of
coal, which would enable her to manufacture
and sell fabrics at greatly reduced price. Her
watcr-powcr is everywhere, not only between
the Blue Ridge and tide-watcr, but beyond the
Blue Ridge; not only at the falls Of the l'oto-
mac, Rappahannock, James and Appomattox
but it is supplied by the almost innumerabje
water courses that permeate every section, al
most every neighborhcod, in the State .

also, says: "No portion of the world can boast
Of such vast deposits of superior camel coal,
Of spliut coal and Of bituminous coal Is are to

chief tributaries, New, Gauley, Elk and Coal

passed for the quality of its iron ore, copper,

Kanawha region and Southwest Virginia have
long been famous for the strength and supe
rio.ity Of their salt water. Iron ore in great
abundance exists ia the Valley Of Virginia.
Cold mines are found III fauluier, Spottsylyl

The coal deposits near Richmond are especial

He says grain can be loaded there i'm canal.

without breaking bulk, by being lowed down
the mississippi, up the Ohio and KAnawha

escaping the High prices demanded by the
Eastern shippers"
The connection has not yet been made-at
least four or five years must have passed be-
fore IT can have been completed-and yet al
ready the great West begins to look forward

burthens imposed upon Its trade by the exact

The fret intimation we receive is from Chi

State Of Iilinois--a mighty city on the great

with all the world Nor is the avarice of the
Eastern shippers the only obstacle 10 repel
