Virginia Mines and Richmond Manu-
factureS.

In the halcyon days of peace and pros
perity much was said and written about
the vast mineral wealth OF Virginia and
the unrivalled advantages of this city for
manufacturing. Comparatively little was
done, however, to profit by these bounties
of Nature.
This was owing mainly to three causes.
In the first place, our people, especially the
landed proprietors, were SO well-to-do in
the world, were SO amply supplied with all
that was needful, not only for substantial
comfort, but for the indulgence of Guilt
waited taste. and the qualification OF their
innate love of social intercourse, strikipg'y
illustrated in the proverbial hospitality
of Old Virginia." that they were disin.
clned to depart from the beaten paths OF
their fathers and give up the pleasant rou-
tine Of plantation life for the more active
and arduous, and perhaps more hazardous,
pursuits of the large miner and man
ufac,urer. And in the second place,
the individuality of our people, their
aversion to have their business, their
nroperty, or their personal actions, con-
trolled or interfered with by others, pre-
vented to large extent the formation OF
companies, firms, and associations amongst
themselves to accomplish, by combina-
ton of capital, results that individual
means were too small to attain. And
thirdly. our universal love Of politics,
which peryaded all classes Of society, and
gave to Virginia political influence in
the councils Of the nation for three-quar-
tiers of a century exercised by no other
single State. But while we were attend
ING to the affairs of the Republic at home
and abroad, and giving character to the
National Government which it will never
possess again, we were neglecting our own
material interests. The arena of Federal
no,ilics in the purer days Of the past had
irresistible charms for the chivalrous, intel
lectual, and laudably ambitious young
men of the State, who were thus drawn
away from home too much, as it has turned
out, for the welfare Of this glorious old
Commonwealth. If the splendid talents
of Virginia statesmen had been more i'm
nediateiy directed to her homo interests
she would have been an empire in mate
rial strength, unconquered by those at
whose feet she lies wounded and over.
powered, despite the matchless heroism OF
her sons.
The war has wrought mighty change in
our political and social condition, and, pro,
fitting by its stern teachings. we are des
