SPRINKLE THE STREETs.-It is high
y essential that disfectant be used;
that is if the health of the people is to
be considered. Let those who have the
power to act in this matter be discreet
and take immediate action. Already
the streets and lanes of our sister city
have been almost whitened by lime, for
which we compliment them upon hav-
ing such all efficient Board of Health.
We commend ours Gf we have one) to
follow their prudent example. 1t is
Imperative upon those holding the posi-
ton to do that which will assist in keep
ing diseases from entering our city, and
unless the streets are better cleaned and
the board of nealth be more attentive to
their duties, we might realize what was
once experienced by those who remain
ed here during the yellow fever. Taking
In consideration the importance that is
attached to sprinkling the streets with
lime, we sincerely hope our board of
health will have it done.

with some people is they won't look
ahead. They still cling to the dead
past make mountains out of the mole
hills, of the present, and picture direfuI
calamities to grow out of the future
And if we all were of this stripe, We
would justly have cause to fear future
consequences, but thank God, the ma
Jority of us are beginning to take a
different view Of things generally. We
are come at last to see things as they
are--to see the inevitable-and thus
seeing, are wisely preparing to meet the
issues presented. Yes, We have ceased
our worship at the shrine of false gods,
in the form of exploded theories ana
dead institutions. We are turning about
and reforming in the ranks of industry
and enterprise, freed from the incubus
of slavery and its attending evils, with
just enough politics thrown in, as will
conduce to, rather than detract from,
our new position of progress and ma
terial advancement. With just. enough
of politics as will answer to prevent our
good old State from falling into the
hands of carpet-baggers, negroes, seal
lawags and do-nothings, we are turning
our attention to the inexhaustble
resources of our agricultural productive
ness, our unequalled mineral wealth, and
the fame Of our beautiful skies and de-
lightful climate, instead of absurdly
worshipping still at the memorial shrine
of the ebony-idol, and bending to the
vagaries ofpig-headed politicians. What
glow of eXultation must mantle the
cheeks of our purely patriotic and prae-
teal men to think on the rapid growth
which present signs, Enthusiastically, indi-
cate for the dear old State.
These signs are too well known to
need explanation from us. Give us
Walker, the expurgated Constitution,
and good Legislature, which we may
have if we willard we will soon real
ize the eminent advantages to be derived
from the situation. In such an event
we may confidently look to the speedy
filling up of our magnificent interior
and coast-side valleys with sturdy i'm
migration and capital, to the establish
ment in our midst of large and flourish
manufactures in every department of
industrial enterprise. Such change in
our tide of affairs will, in fine, give
greatly increased impetus 10 all the prac-
teal operations Of life, and will not Sc
riously, if at all, effect the others. Yes,
thousands then will come to our State, |
and there is room enough to spare, room
for them all-al who are willing to
work and help to develop and build up
our untold resources. A sturdy and
intelligent people can make home in
Virginia which they may take pleasure
and pride in bestowing as rich inheri-
tence upon their progeny. The induce
ments held out are in no wise exaggera-
ted, but will increase in Importance and
extent with the Introduction of capital
and the growth of population, Look
ahead

EXTENSION OF THE GospoRT NAVY
YARD. Ere this we had hoped it would
have been our pleasure to notice the
pulling down of houses in Gosport,
caused by the Government acting so
discreetly in the purchasing of that
part of Gosport now owned and i'm
proved by private individuals. But it
seems that the Government is of the
opinion that the investment would not
be wise one. In that, like many
other things, they err, At no Yard
have they the opportunity of buying SO
much adjacent land, with such splen-
did water front, at once, without any
extra expense of digging, by the use Of
mud machines ..s
1t also offers facilities that should be
thought Of These advantages we have
previously given, but with all of the
many inducements that should go tc
make the Government buy such valu-
able addition to the Gosport Navy
Yard, giving at once room in abundance
to have another Dry Dock even larger
than the present one also ship and
other houses. We hope they will yet
act wisely by extending the yard taking
in all of Gosport.
