The Matteson Works, in this city, are
in progress of erection. Seventy-fve
men are engaged in breaking ground,
sinking for water, hauling brick and per-
forming all the preparatory work to the
construction OF a large smelling and sep
arating establishment. Governor Matte
son is pushing things with great energy.
The only furnace in operation south
and west of this city is the Eagle, at
Swansea. This is making q fine run,
and has now 40 tons of splendid looking
metal stacked up in the smelling room.
The gentlemen in charge of the White
Pine Works think that arrangements will
be effected with the company at San
Francisco, by which the furnace will be
started up again before long. The Sec
rotary, Mr.. Scotchley, is now at the Bay
for that purpose. Returns on a large
amount of bullion, the proceeds of the
last successful run, are now 60 days old,
and should soon be accounted for, and
the necessary accommodation be effected
of the company's difficulties.
The Wieland and the Rathburn works
are running continuously, on ores from
the eastern slope of White Pine Noun
tain, and on the coppery ores of the
western base of Treasure Mountain.
They are turning ont a fair amount of
bulliOn.

RICHMOND, April 3ra, 1870
To-day Is the anniversary of the fall of Rich
ulond. just five years ago the people here
were called upon to give up all on earth they
held dear and sacred, and in reviewing the
scenes through which we have passed in the
years gone bye We find but little to cheer, and
nothing scarcely to encourage In Richmond
our people have had fair chance to feel the
Iron heel of Despotism and the events of the
last week, but show aud prove what drags are
sent from that pool of pollution, to sit on the
judicial Bench Of our Courts In the days of
long ago when honesty and virtue we're the
landmarks by which our Courts we're ruled,
such decision as the one recently rendered in
the Eiyson case, would have been spurned and
deemed degrading, but we live in a new age
now a-days and our Courts in their decision are
guided by the number OF bayone.s, By which
they know they are surrounded.
The election Of Judges for the County and
City Courts was to have began on Friday at
hall past one, but the bill fixing the salary of
the several Judges of the different Courts did
not pass until O clock on Friday evening, and
it is now postponed until Monday The maxi
mum is fixed at 81 200. and the minimum sal
airy at $500 for county Judges
1t would be Impossible, almost for person
away from the seat of our Municipal War
to conceive of the intense excitement which
prevailed in Richmond and especially in the
Circuit Court On Thursday. Long before the

1t is stated that CON- Maury, of Lexington,
will publish with his next edition of the Phys
zeal Survey of Va, map Of the State compiled
from the latest data. The present maps of
Virginia are very imperfect, and an imperfect
is simply bad egg. 81
The Board of Survey of Washington College
under the direction Of Gen. r. E. Lee, has
been for sometime engaged upon the prepare
tion of county maps-to be ultimately prised
unto State map. Major Hotchkiss. of our

work in Lexington, under the supervision OF
Gen. Lee himself, and from data furnished by
the original typographical surveys of each coun-

federate, and of the Federal armies during the
late war, and also from the United States Coast
Surveys.
The large map for Augusta county has been
engraved by the best artists, and we hear will

Valley Railroad.

On Thursday, the 2sth OF April, the vote will
be taken on the proposition that Augusta coun-,
ty shall subscribe $500, 900, to the stock of thu
Valley Railroad. This subscription, and $780,,
600, from Roanoke is necessary to be given In
order to hold the $l,O0O,00O, just voted by
Baltimore, and without Augustus subscription
the whole road fails for an indefinite time; ruth
it, the work will at once be put under contract
from Harrisonburg to Lexington, and Tor the
$500, 900 given by Augusta more than vi ,ooo,-
900 aoiU be paid out an the county, Tor the oulia-
inc of the road and for land damages. Augusta
cannot afford to lose this chance tor MAINTAIN
ing her reputation for sagacity and public spirit
We shall have something to say next week
in reply to what has been said recently In some
of the Richmond papers about the people OF
this Valley, in connection with this great Ill,
movement. the success of which will depend
mon the action of the people of Augusta. we
will now merely remark that whilst our people
are true to Va. and to all her best interests,
thev demand, as their right the development
of the boundIess resources OF their Valley, and
nerfeet freedom Of trade with all portions OF
the Commonwealth, and specially do they IN
sist that their vital interests shall not be
crushed by the power of a consolidation. which,
through the pretence of fear of Baltimore,
seeks to repress their energies and enterprise.
Give us a complete line of Road throughout
the Valley and our increased wealth and pop
ulation will give to Virginia strength and pros
perity which the chance afforded US Of trading
with Baltimore can neither impair nor avert
