An Imnortant Matter.

The Richmond Wing says: Commodore
Maury, in his excellent and inspiriting adj
dress at the Staunton Fair, limited at a mat
ter that should arrest attention. We repro
duce the passage:
"The Dutch are already alive to the impor-
lance of this subject, and are talking Of a line
of steamers from Flushing to Norfolk. Hol-
land is situated with regard to the centre Of
Europe and the seashore, as Virginia is, with
regard to this country. At Flushing, Hol-
land affords the nearest and best seaport to all
of Southern and Central Germany, extending
as far back as the Valley of the Danube !;
precisely as the tide water harbors of Virgin.
ia do the nearest seaport to the centre Of the
Mississippi Valley, to ST. Louis, and all the
landings on the Missouri river. Virginia
furnishes the ports farthest to the North,
which are never INSTRUCTED by ice in winter.
The same with Flushing on the other side.-
Flushing is but FIVE hours steaming from
England. Flushing and Norfolk are between
Baltimore and Bremen, where there is already
line Of steamers in successful operation
The Dutch Government, approaching at last
the Importance of Flushing as seaport town
for the heart of Europe, is now extending
her lines of internal improvement from Flush
ing to the back country. This is what Viz
ginia is seek ing to do. Our Dutch friends
say, Give lis a second, and we will bridge the
Atlantic with line of boats between Flush
ing and Norfolk T"
This is a matter Of great moment, and we
are pleased to learn that influential parties in
Holland are in correspondence with Commo-
dore NJ. in regard to it. A very Furnishing
line OF steamers is now running between Bre-
men and Baltimore-so Furnishing that when,
few weeks ago, it was proposed to raise $500, )
600 in the former city for the purpose of add
ing two steamers to the service $4,000, 600
were at once offered Now, when we consider
that Flushing and Norfolk lie between Bre-
men and Baltimore, and that each of the for
mer is situated more favorably in relation to
the interior trade its country than the lat
ter, and that each Of the former has deeper
and more accessible harbor than the latter, we
see at once what commanding advantages a
line of steamers between Norfolk and Flushing
would possess. we see no reason why such a
line, in addition to its other business might
not become the chief immigrant line of the
country, snperseding, to great extent, the
New York lines-ior immigrants arriving at
Norfolk would reach the Great West over the
Virginia railroads (when completely more
readily than they now do over the Northern
roads. We hope to learn something more Of
this very important matter.

Cheap Butter.


The Richmond Neps, says a man in that
city is manufacturing butter by chemical
process at the rate Of one pound and nine
ounces from one pint Of milk and two eggs. Il
says: 1--WE know that the statement seems
improbable I'VE know that people will turn up
their eyes incredulously, and say, 1T can't be
done, it can't be good,' etc., but the proof Of
the pudding is in the eating The operation
is performed every morning at nine o'clock,
and every evening before sales commence at
Mr.. Smiths auction room, in the presence Of
crowds and doubters are invited to go aud
see the butter made, and see it weighed, and
then to taste it before they pronounce the
thing impossible. The butter can be made
in any churn, crock, or jar ..
We have not the least doubt of the truth
of this statement. We have heard that a
French cook will make plenty of good soup
from pebbles. provided sufficient allowance
Of other materials are incorporated. So in
this case we see no reason to doubt that one
pound and nine ounces of butter can be made
from pint Of milk and two eggs, provided
the chemical employed in the process be one
pound and a little over eightounces Of butter.

THE STAY LAW MOTTO BE EXTENDED
The Enquirer of yesterday says: We learn
that it was the opinion of persons who had
conversed with Gen. Stoneman on the subject
that it was not his intention to extend the
operation of the law staying the collection q
debts beyond the first day of January next.
His reason for refusing to interfere is, that
this period for the expiration of the law
was fixed by the last Legislature Of Virginia,
and that he IS not disposed to interfere with
any law enacted by that body.
