FRIDAY MORNING, JANVAHr 2s, 1857.

At no time perhaps has the a:iIjact of mi
ming engaged the attention of Vilginians SO
extensively as al present. Daily, important
md valuable additions arc made to the great
mineral wealth Virginia is known to possess.
These discoveries arc inducing disposition
to engage ii Q new species Of manufacture in
the Old Dominion. We herald this as a
good omen. The success Of any kind Of
manufacturing establishment induces greater
energy in that line and tends to stimulate
other branches. Wehave noticed with pleas
TIRE that cur Capital City is turning her at
tcntion to greater degree than heretofore
to manufacturing Richmond with her vast
water power, her attention turned to manu-
features, and with her facility to receive the
raw material, will take no second rate posi-
ton among manufacturing cities. This will
but increase her Importance as a commercial
city. Her advantages in this line are of no
mean order and manufactures will serve to
stimulate her commercial interests. To see
Richmond turning her attention particularly
TO manufacturing is pleasing sight to Vir-
ginians To this means alone, in her changed
circumstances, have VIC looked ultimately to
see her take that proud and prominent posi-
ton among the cities Of this country to which
her location and natural advantages justly
entitle her.
Not only is manufactures destined to bcnc-
fit Richmond, but it is to the proper reduc-
ton of the raw material. in which Virginia
abounds, into marketable commodities, that
we will have to look for the restoration of
the former prosperity of the ''Old Dominion :"
Every facility in this line will ultimately be
taken advantage Of. Manufacturing estab-
lishments, adapted to the wants, Or super-in-
duced by the facility Of receiving and cheap
ness of the raw material, will spring up in
every community They will furnish labor
with constant work, produce with a ready
market at home, merchandise with prompt
and cash customers and indeed give "a,
heretofore, unfelt impetus to every branch Of
business What we all have to do is to fos-
ter those which have been erected in our
communities by our patronage, and stimulate
the building up Of other branches Of manu-
facture by the success of those already in
l,,4 l. IL
line, every city and town will rise in impor-
lance, and Virginia be prosperous beyond
any realization of the past or the most san
guine anticipations of the future.

In the message of Governor Foreman, Of
West Virginia, we find several matters of in.
terest to our people. He says the Conmis.
sioners on the part of West Virginia, to ar
range for the completion of the Coyington
and Ohio Railroad have made no report to
him or the Board of Public Works of West
Virginia of the result of their efforts, but he
had learned they hadnot been successful. He
considers the completion of this road Of the
first Importance and trusts that the Legisa-
ture of West Virginia may devise some plan
for its construction that may prove practical
and successful
He notifies the Legislature that he has en-
gagged eminent legal counsel to defend the
validity of the claim of West Virginia to the
counties of Jefferson and Berkeley, about to
be tested by a suit in equity, brought by the
State of Virginia, in the Supreme Court of
the United States, to recover jurisdiction over
said counties.
He recommends that Commissioners be
appointed "to settle with the State of Vir-
g'nia in regard to the public debt and pub
lie property" and suggests. " in order that
the State may be better prepared to meet
any obligation that may devolve on it in this
come ,tion, that the Legislature may take
action under that provision of the Constitu-
ton directing the creation of sinking fund
for this purpose.
In reference to the re- union of West Vir-
ginia with Virginia, he states that he receiv-
ed q communication from the Hon. A. II. II.
Stuart enclosing the resolutions of the Gen
eral Assembly Of Virginia OH the subject.
and in reply he expressed the opinion that
the proposition for the reunion of the States
of Virginia and West Virginia would not lie
entertained for moment but would be IMAM
imously rejected, and recommends its re;sc-
ton IN unequiyocal terms by the Legislature,
and in order to put an end to the matter,
!" to declare it the settled purpose of the peo-
pie of West Virginia to maintain separate
State existence"
lie recommends that provision be made
for the payment Of the claim of the Board of
Visitors of the Deaf and Dumb, and Blind
Institution, at Staunton, Va, for the support
and education of pupils from West Virginia,
for the year 1886 and the present year. but to
leave the amount claimed for support and tut
ton of pupils from West Virginia, prior to
Jan. lst 1865, to be adjusted in the general
settlement, which is understood will hereaf-
ter take place between the two States.

The snow which fell here on Sunday last,
was the deepest of the season. As far as we
can learn from our exchanges, it was deep
and general one throughout the country. In
many places it driftcd to such depth as to

days. The train running vest from this

TER. Memphis, January l8.-Therc were
about sixty lives lost by the sinking of the
steamer Platte Valley last night. She struck
the wreck of the gunboat jeff. Thompson,
tearing away her starboard side. and sunk
in few minutes in forty feet of water. Most
of the cabin passengers were saved. but the
passenger list was lost, and it is impossible
to obtain a correct list A family named
Roberts, consisting Of thirteen persons in all,
are all lost.
The boat was loaded to her guards, and
was under full Roadway at the time Colo
mel Gus. Henry, Jr. and wife, were on board
but were saved, losing all their baggage His
father Hon. Gus. Henry, ST., was on board
the Fashion when she sunk.
Colonel Henry says one woman, through
her own exertions. saved her drunken hus-
band and five children by wading through
the water Oh the hurricane deck and pulling
them on the wheel-house after the boat had
careened and settled.
Mr.. DAVIS, CAsE-SoME MOVEMENT on
Foor.-Thc -ashington letter Of the Balti-
more Gazette says:
Sidll Co " OpuOl dllu II kHCi. ILSQS.,
counsel for Jefferson Davis, are in the city.
Mr.. Horace Greeley is also here. It is fur
Their known that Mr. Greeley had an inter-
view with the Presilen. yesterday. and had
interviews with Mr.. Davis counsel this morn
ing. From these facts the quid numcs have
coIjectured that the State prisoner at For
tress Monroe is about either to be released
on parole or bail, or that his case is on the
eve of being disposed of in some way and it
must be confessed that the facts warrant a
fair inference that this long delayed act of
sheer justice is at last about to be per-
formed"

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his
lecture on . Universal Suffrage" gives the
following, among other reasons, for extend
ing the franchise to women:
God, when he made woman. made her to
be a mother, and necessarily school-ml
tross, and therefore legislator, and consc,
quently she ought to be such with moth
cr's foresight and mothers love, laboring
only for the future welfare Of her own chill
dren, knowing what is most needed, she
would be the one to exercise law to meet the
wants Of the people.

The Richmond passengers on the Orange
and Alexandria Railroad, arc now forward
ed throug h to Richmond without changing
cars at Gordonsvlle. This is an excellent
arrangement and we hope it may be extend
ed to passengers coming west Of Gordonsville,
as it would save much annoyance at that
place and hasten the time of the arrival of
the train at that point about one hour.
We learn that during the last year there
was exported from Richmond $1,530,099
worth of domestic produce, mostly -four and
tobacco. The imports amounted to S37 300,
including S20,977 worth of salt.

"ViaaiyrA AND West VIHGIS1A. j. f.
Caldwell argues in letter to the Wheeling
Inttl5sgeacer, that the capital Of West Viz
ginia ought to be located in Grccnbrier coun-
ty, or elsewhere near the future centre of
that State, iiasruch as the Blue Ridge will
probably at some time not far distant be the
dividing line between the two States"
We clip the above from an exchange and
take the occasion to say, that we of the Val
ley do not object to the capital of West Vir-
GINA being located at Lewishurg or elsewhere
in that State, but we have serious objections
to being thought at all anxious to attach our
selves to the State of West Virginia We
are perfectly satisfied with "Oll Virginny'
though she did whine little over our desire
to advance the interests of the rich Valley
section, by procuring charter for railway
throughout the length of the Valley. She
finally yielded gracefully and seems now to
think it was not so much opposition to the
interests of Richmond as our desire to en-
nance local interests. There is not q pres
cnt, nor ever was anything but commune
ty of interest between the Valley and East
ern Virginia, but should anything arise, how
ever, to destroy the existing community Of
and cause us to desire to separate
from Eastern Virginia, We Will not fly to the
arms of Virginia's recrcant daughter, but will
endeavor to establish State of our own
Under no circumstances could we unite with
West Virginia. We have had quite enough
of trouble with the few radicals in the limits
of Virginia, and do not desire creator fill
by going to West Virginia where radicalism
has the dominant control. We rather think
