A Long Look Ahead.

We have, from time to time, seen notice
'going the rounds of the press" of the bill
introduced into Congress some time since, to
stimulate the planting of timber on the
prair.es of the far West. We suspect there
is more land speculation involved in this plan
than appears on the surface; but, be that as
it may, the conception is very noble one,
when considered apart from lobby schemes
and corporate or individual aggrandizement.
We wish we could believe the author of this
measure was actuated by the same generous
feeling which impelled the Persian sage to
consecrate the last day of his life by planting
a tree, in order that his latest action might
benefit another generation. Still, as we have
said, the conception of covering those vast
Western steppes with forests is very noble
one. And--apart from the land-grabbipg-
what is the end in view ? 1t is to attract
immigrants. Yes to attract immigrants in
the far-of future; for civilized man seeks, in
his new settlements, for regions where timber
is abundant, so that he may not be deprived
of the thousand-and-one conyeniences which
he cannot have without it.
If, then, the United States, so populous and
strong, can gravely talk about providing, in
the remote regions beyond the Father of the
Waters, for the surplus population of this
country, or Europe century hence, what may
we not hope to do, with our great natural
advantages, in the future.
But there is one thing we should bear in
mind Natural advantages have no tongues.
We must make these known abroad; and be
careful to see that the forests yet to grow at
the foot of the Rocky Mountains do not COM
pete with the virgin growth of Virginia In
short, don't let us be a hundred years about
getting the immierants among Ms

When speaking of this fight, he always
said he was mainly indebted for his success
on that occasion to the GOODNESS and bravery
displayed by his second in command, Col.
LEwELLEN, then Captain in the 18TH vir-
ginia Infantry. --
His health became gradually more feeble;
and being unfit for further service in the field,
he was appointed to the command Of the
Blackwater Department But his restless
spirit would not allow him to remain quiet
here; and, learning Hicksford was about to
be attacked, he at once reported to Major
General WADE HAMPTON, at Belfeld, who
assigned him to the command of the artillery
and infantry but, finding his former friend
(Col. JACK GARNETT) holding the ground, he
magnanimously told hirn-though bis junior
to retain command as he had fortified the
place, hs should have the honor of defending
it. And nobly did he do his duty-Col. P.
acting second in command
From this place he again returned to COM
mand the Blackwater Department, with his
headquarters at Weldon, where he remained
until the fall of Richmond, when he Joined
Gen. LEES army again, and remained with
his great chief until his surrender.
Such is brief history of the career of this
gallant gentleman, whose private worth was
equal to his martial virtue.

SAD AccI2Esr At BRowS's yALLEY.-A cores
pondent 0, ,e appeal furnishes the particulars Of
"a sad accident which occurred in the Pennsylvania
mine, at Browns Vale, awe copy as follows: The
workmen were engaged in walling up the partition
of the incline to procure good air, when the pin
which holds the break lever was Jared loose by the
shaking Of the. machinery. The was OF the
track isst slke the mouth Of the incline, and be-
ing loaded with lumber to send down TO the work
men, who were at work about one hundred and
fifty feet from the surface when the pin loosed and
let the car go down the incline. Mr.. Lockwood,
Charles Rosenstinger and Charles Nelson were at
work saving and did not hear the car coming in
time to escape. The car struck Mr.. Lockwood first,
crushing and multating his face in most shocking
and heartrenderng manner, causing instant death.
Mr.. Charles Rosenstinger being near by, was struck
in the breast and side completely crushing in his
left side and breastbone; he only lived a few mo-
ments. Mr.. Charles Nelson, who was at work
some tweSty feet below. was severely but not Sc
riousy injured as the car had been checked by the
carpenter, Mr.. Allen, who was near by when it
started. There can be no blame attached to any
of the employees about the mill, as it was one of
those accidents which frequently occur where there
are so many men employed, with all the facilities
necessary for hoistng. DR.. L. L. Hague was
promptly at the spot, and rendered all assistance
possible but without avail. The accident has cast
a gloom the whole community, as Mr. Lock
wood has been resident of this place for the last
three years. He leaves a wife to mourn his loss
and was aged thirty three years-a native of Mass
achusetts. Mr.. Rosenstnger was aged thirty-four
years a German by birth. Mr.. John Howell
of the Pennsylvania Company, has
stopped the works of the Company, and has done
everything possible to provide for the burial of the
dead bodies
