mearS OF the improved railway connections
Wheat. according to the Dispatch, IL s.pouring
into Richmond from Southwestern Virginia and
Eastern Tennessee, BY the Virginia and Ten
nessee Air Line. The Danville depot IS crowded,
and the cry Is still II comes" This will be
good nCws to everybody. The miIlers and COM
mission merchants will reap a harvest long
wished for. The crop of wheat in the South
west was never larger. and this. coupled with
the fact that Richmond is the best wheat market
in the United States, and the further fact that
General Malone has reduced freight to about
one-half OF the old rates, will induce nearly all
the wheat from that section 10 find market here"
We note these evidences of returning pros-
Perity to Richmond. and TO Virginia As well,
with satisfaction. Virginia, by reason of her
Climate, her mineral and agricultural resources
her wonderful water power now running com
raratively to waste, and her unsurpassed hsr-
bOTs, ought to be one OF the foremost States
OF the Union in wealth and business activity,
and n she IL only true TO herself she will take
that leading position within the next decade.
