The Mineral Wealth Of Virginia
and West Virginia..

The iron deposits in Virginia and Wet
Virginia are equal to, if not more extensive
than, those in Pennsylvania. Along the
line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
are found inexhaustible deposits of superior
iron ore From Staunton, Va, to the
White Sulphur Springs in West Virginia,
distance Of one hundred miles, there are
very large quantities of valuable iron ore
Also along the line of the James River
Canal west Of Lynchburg, is found Superior
iron ore in great abundance.
In fact, the entire Allegheny range of
mountains, in both Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, extending $50 miles, from Maryland
to Tennessee, are filed with iron ore, in
quantity and quality equal to the most val
liable deposits found in Pennsylvania the
largest quantities being found east of the
main Allegheny range of mountains and
west of the Blue Ridge.
West of this vast area Of iron ore deposits
is to be found the Appalachian Coal field of
West Virginia, which, in extent, is greater
than the coal field of Pennsylvania For
the coal field of West Virginia is estimated
to contain $1,000 square miles, while that
of Pennsylvania is estimated to contain
1866 square miles. The coal area of
Great Britain is estimated to be II, $50
square miles.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and
the James River and Kanawha Canal (when
completed to the Ohio River) will pass
through the very heart and centre of the
coal and iron deposits of Virginia and West
Virginia. These improvements will pass
through New River Valley, and the great
Kanawha Valley, to the Ohio River, dis
lance of two hundred miles, cutting at right
angles, the most extensive deposits of camel,
splint, and bituminous coal known in the
world, the coal remarkable for it's SUPERIOR
ty in generating steam, smelling iron ore,
and making gas, and unsurpassed as fuel.
Thus, in Virginia and West Virginia,
and especially along the line of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad, and the line of
the James River and KanaWha Canal, are
to be found in great abundance and of supe-
rior quality two great elements of a nations
wealth--coal and iron.
Not long since, Mr.. Gladstone, in speech
delivered in the English Parliament, said
the commercial prosperity OF Great Britain
over all other countries was chiefly owing to
her coal deposits and their location near iron
ors-the coal and iron in close proximity to
each other, constituted the substratum of
England's commercial prosperity.
The same may be said of Pennsylvania.
1t is the development of the coal and iron of
that State. that constitutes the basis Of her
wealth and power. And what has been done
in Pennsylvania may be done in Virginia
and West Virginia, and even to a greater
degree. For the deposits of coal and iron
are more numerous and varied, and more
favorably located for thorough develop
ment by means of Virginla's central water
line and railroad, uniting the great West
with the Atlantic sea5oard. - Wall Street

The Richmond Municipal election was de-
cided in favor of the Conservative Candi-
dates, on account of 1859 illegal votes being
thrown outin Marshall Ward by the Commits
sioners of Election. The tickets were num-
bered on the back to correspond with the
numbers on the poll books. In Jefferson
Ward, there was no return from the Bird
Precinct, save the poll-book and hence it
was thrown out.
Tho Conservative Candidates held a
meeting on the 3lst ult., in the City Hall
and adopted the following
Resolved. That we will not accept the
offices for which We have respectively receiv-
ed certificates of election, if it shall appear
upon legal investigation that we have not
been lawfully elected without throwing out
of the count Of votes, the votes given at the
Third Precinct in Jefferson ward, in conse-
quence alone Of the lawless destruction of
the ballots given at that precinct.
Resolved, That inasmuch as our refusal
to receive the certificates of election OF to
qualify on the 1st of July will not result in
the giving the Offices to the opposite caudl-
dates, but would only resuli in creating va
cancies in all the offices, (Which, under the
law, would be Tiled by appointment and
the rights of the parties can only be deter
mined by contest before the proper court,
we invite our opponents to take steps to be-
gin the contest at once.
Resolved, That in our opinion such evi-
dences of fraud and irregularity in the recent
election exist as will give to US the legal re-
turn -

For the Viudicator.

WHO are you? What sayest thou Of thysnl?
Being regenerated in the waters of Bap-
tism, you can say that am christian
hut do you understand, up to this time,
your duty to Christianity, Or have you been
faithful to it? Do you feel this day what a
degree of honor Christianity has elevated
you to? And do you feel to what degree
of sanctity you have been called =?
What is this dignity of Christian, and
what is the obligation Unhappy man you
were no sooner formed the sons and daugh-
tiers of Adam, than you became the servants
70 sin. Caukered in sin, you became the
children of wrath. You have fallen from
Gods inheritance, and became the servants
of the wicked one, an closed heaven against
you by your own acts. 0 Heaven beau
tifuI Heaven the Palace Of the great King
and of all created intelligence, who stand
before Him and cry holy! holy! holy is the
Lord God of hosts, for heaven and earth is
filled with his Glory. How the immortal
mind longs for its native home, where all
is peace, pure and holy. But your soul
stripped of all the gifts aboriginal righteous
ness has become the frigbtful dwelling of the
Devil. This prince Of darkness continues to
exercise his power and authority oyer you,
and many who read this continue to be his
willing subjects.
To be child of God, what Glory for 8
creature! Would it not have been great
favor upon the part of God to have permit
ted man to become his servant; yea more
than man could expect, when we consider
how holy God is and how depraved man be-
came by the fall, But instead Of servants
he receives us as his children through the
atoncment made by his Son for us in the
Garden of Gethsemena and upon the Cross
When We consider the gift, the best gift that
heaven possessed, the only begotten Of the
father, we should humble ourselves before
him, as in dust and ashes, and cry unholy.
While God has but one son by nature. he
has thousands and millions by free grace
and adoption through the merits of his Son,
who offered his life for all mankind
What rule do you follow in the discharge
of your duty toward God Do you follow
the teachings of bis word, or the inclinations
of your own corrupt nature? This is ques-
ton for you to answer. If yon follow the
teachings OF Gods word, it will be well with
you, but if you continue in sin it shall be i'll
with you in that great day, for which all
other days were made, when God shall as
sign every man his portion. What sayest
