AN OLD. scuEME.-An old citizen, and one
who knows much of prison-worlling in
Virginia, has revived the idea of working
coai-mines with convict labor. He proposes
that the State shall buy fifteen hundred or
two thousand acres of coal-land in Ches-
terfield, erect penitentiary upon it, open
mines, and work them by conyicts. If
the State does not wish to work all the
mines, then portion of the convicts TO be
hired to miners who will treat them kindly
and at the same time see that they do not
escape. The young and healthy conyicts
could do the underground work, whilst the
less able, and those convicted of trivial
offences, could cultivate a portion of the
surface in the usual crops, and thus make
the institution not only selt-sustaining but
paying one. as it ought to be.
Many of the northern prisons are made
self-sustainfng by the "contract system"
and when the workshops Of the Virginia
prison are enlarged, as they must be, there
is little doubt that much Of the idle labor in
the penitentiary may be let to manufactu-
rers of different kinds. Only few days
since the representative Of large Ohio
house was here proposing to contract tor
shop-room and laborers for manufacturing
carriages and other vehicles; and when the
fact becomes known that the State can fur
nsh power, labor, and room, ut moderate
charges, enterprising men will take hold oi
it and make it grand success.

THE Governors MASsIoN.-Mention has
been made of the repairs to the Governors
mansion, which have just been recently
completed, but to get proper idea Of
them one must visit the Governor. The
parlors are furnished ina manner equal to
the White House in Washington, and with
a degree of taste that is most striking. The
carpeting, curtains, upholstering, ETC.. are
all of the most elegant description, and ar
ranged, in regard to each other, in the
most tasteful style. The dining-room, the
Governors private Office, and every other
portion of the house, are also furnished in q
similarly handsome manner. The contract
for the repairing was awarded to Messrs.
Doggett 6 Anderson, who have acquitted
themselves in a manner not to be excelled
on this continent. sra..s Es,7

cluded with most eloquent tribute to Vir-
einia. and uttered the hope that her daugh-
ters, Ohio, Illinois, ETC., would, through
their delegates in the next Congress, exert
their influence in behalf of the completion
of the great water-line through Virginia.
Music: "Columbia, the Gem of the
Ocean,"
To the next toast Mr.. Wetherill respond
ed in most happy manner.
Colonel Carrington's answer to the 9Th
toast was very appropriate, and elected con-
siderable applause.
Judge Cullen's response to the 7th toast
was very eloquent, and as he concluded
with the sentiment, % Peace on earth and
good. will towards men" he was greeted
with deafening applause.
Mr.. Monroe's reply to the 9Th toast was
eminently practical, and was highly appre-
ciated, especially inasmuch as he is son OF
Virginia. ,
Judge Crump's reply to the ninth toast
was just such an one rs might have been
expected from so able gentleman. 1t was
clear, concise, and eloquent, and excited
great admiration from all who heard 1t.
The tenth toast was responded to by
Patrick Henry Aylett, Esq, Colonel Ru1nn
having yielded in his favor. His remarks
were marked with his characteristic VII
and humor, which is of the highest order,
and that finish of remark that have mace
him such fayorite orator in Virginia. LIE
was warmly applauded throughout, :,
Volunteer toasts were next IN order, and
Mr.. Kirkland, of Baltimore, was called
upon to respond to toast to that CITY I;

He invited the Board to hold its next an

conclusion, the city Of Richmond.
Colonel Ruffin was requested to respond
to this; which he did most happily, and of
course5t told an F. G. story, which was highly
appreciated.
The city of Boston was next toasted, and
Mr.. Ropes responded in speech full OF
common sense, coupled with great beauty
Of expression. He alluded humorously to
previous expressions from Colonel Ruftin,
and expressed Himself in a manner such as
to call forth the best feelings Of all present:
As he concluded. Colonel Ruffin Joined
hands with him, and remarked that ProYl-
dence would smile approyingiy on the grasp
between Richmond and Boston. He shook
hands with Mr.. Ropes amid deafening ap-
plause.
The next toast was to Cincinnati, the
Queen City of the West" which was re-
| sponded to by Mr.. Torrance, of Cincinnati,
| in most appropriate manner.
Other toasts followed, which we are una
BILE to give in consequence of the late hour
at which the exercises closed.

night. It was indeed a most elegant and
genial affair. which will be long remem.

A HOUSE OF CORRECTION is very much
needed, because of the hundreds Of idle
youths growing up in the cityin ignorance
and vice. To send bad boy to Jail for a
trifiing offence is but to enter in a high
school for crime, where he becomes prof.
cient in evil works and confirmed in vice.
The city needs q place in (which she can
confine vicious youths and make them ssln
