VIRGINIA RAILROADS AND VIRGIN
IA PROSPECTS,

The coal asld on the West slope Of the
Allechenies, extending from the Mononga-
hela to the Big Sandy rivers, i by far the
largest, the richest, and is destined to be-
come the most valuable in the world In
Europe, nearly all the coal deposits lie far
beneath the general surface, and far below
water level. Deep shafts are sunk at i'm
mense cost, to reach them; the mines are
then ventilated and drained as they are be-
ing worked, 0hly after the most astonishing
outlays. Oa the Kanawha and collateral
valleys, the coal crops out Of the bill sides
in veins from 5 to II feet thick, far above
water level, and can be dumped into the cars
by the force of gravity, for merely nominal
cost, and carried thence to wherever it is
needed. A few miles eastward Of this i'm
.mense store Of coal, on the eastern slope Of
the Alleganies, are found inexhaustible de
posits Of iron ores ofthe best qualities The
Chesapeake aud Ohio Railroad, now in
course of construction from the naVigable
waters of the James River, to the river nav
igation Of the Mississippi Valley, the grea-
ter part of which is already in operation,
crosses both the iron fields and the coal fields
and unites them to the seabOard on the one
hand and the Great West on the other
Nearly 1000 men are employed upon this
great work, and it will not be many montl 5
before the cars viii travel continuously from
Memphis, Saint Louis or Chicago, to and
from these great iron and coal deposits, and
if need be, on to the navigation Of the At
lantic at Richmond.
These natural advantages, together with
the encouraging rush of immigration now
fpding its way to Yirinia and West Virgin
ia, will give to those States vast wealth and
industry. The completion of the Chese-
peake and Ohio Railroad itself viii set free
a wonderful amount of latent power, and is
to rank as one Of the most important works
of improvement now In progress
The Loan of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company, which is ann0uoced else

investments. These Bonds have several
features Of convenience and security not
hitherto found combined To all persons
contemplating investments Of capital, or the
exchange of securities, their remarks will be
of special interest.

THE NEW TARIFf ILL.

The new tariff bin reported BY the Com
mittee of Ways and Means has been under
discussion in the house for several weeks
and Is not set half completed. It's pre-
visions if they could be passed as origi-
nally reported would doubtless be an i'm
provement on the present tariff but des-
uerate Eight has been made against it By the
free-traders and particularly in the duties
IN iron the discussion and voting upon item
by item has resulted in such reduction as
wonla paralysa our whole iron trade If It
we're to become law. Under these circum-
stances the friends Of protection have no
other recourse than to endeagor to defeat
the whole til and let the present rates re
main. If the discussion continues aud drags
as slowly as il has heretofore done, Congress
will Be able to do little else before July.
This ptospecs has induced disposition in
both parties to abandon the BILL The free
traders have introduced brief bill pro-
posing to make sweeping and indiscrlm-
mate reduction of all taxes both import
and excise except whiskey and tobacco
This bin they viii try to force through
unless they can succeed in making
sweeping reduction in the bill under dis
cussion. The Free traders are making
desperate efforts to carry their measures
and have an extensive lobby influence
and plenty Of funds to carry on their
work. Tho friends Of moteetion have not
had the support that they should receive
from the parties interested. While the
free traders have large delegations in Wash
ington urging their measures, the tariff
men who are yitaIy interested, have no
delegation, funds, or influence there to as
sist their members Of Congress, With iafor-
nation, statistics, &c Thus far the inter
ests Of American labor have been sadly
neglected. We hope however to sec. an In
creased interest and vigorous effort made
when the final vote CONES. The tariff men
cannot afford to neglect this matter 1t is
oftbe highest importance to the manufaetur
ing and general industrial interests of the
whole country. No effort should be spared
to uphold our national industry through
protective duties. If We wish American
laborers to live and prosper, We must protect
them against the competition of foreign
pauper labor This can be much more
easily done now while be have fair degree
Of protection, than after foreign influence
shall have reduced our tariff and broken
down our manufactures.

THE POOR HOUSE.

We had hoped to be able to lay before
our readers this week, some communications
on the Poor House question but our
friends, as yet. have not responded to our
invitation. We hope stil to be favored
with some for our next issue. We are in
formed that the subject Is elicitiug good
deal Of discussion in various parts Of the
County. The chief burthen of complaint
seems to be the great expense annually nee
essary to keep our poor. We have been
calling their attention to it for a long time.
1t viii only be remedied By putting good
Republican or two in the board of Direc-
tors. That election viii come in October.
The question now ia the location Of the new
Poor House, and not the management of
the finances, and it viii be well to keep the
two distinct aud separate, for they are wide
ly different questions. To argue that the
present property should be sold because
there has been bad management is about
the same as if we we're to urge the removal of
the court house because there has been a
large amount of criminal business and that
1t has been heavy expense to the County
There is only one point in which the present
property can be eany more expensive than any
other property that may be purchased, and
that Is. the expense Of keeping the mill
10 repair. But if this is an objection, the
mill can be sold for a good price, and plenty
,F ,,,,r,l.e.r- g. - ,,,, - P.,.-.1 Il. =. III
regard it as a very desirable property. In
fact we have advocated this for many years.
The property can be divided so as to sell off
the mill and have plenty left for all the
purposes of an aims house We believe
that provision in the present bill to per-
NIT vote for the division of the property
and the sale of the mill would have met
with decided favor, and have, perhaps, re-
ceiyed majority of votes a large farm is
not needed, for the paupers cannet 90 the
work of a farm, and but few men
could be found TO talIo farm and work
it to advantage with hired labor,
for such as are competent to do that
prefer to farm their own land and reap ali
the profits We believe that small farm
Of from GO to SO acres, sufficient to pro.
vide pastuFage and feed for a team, and d
few head Of cattle win be found the most
economical This we have in the present
property after cutting of the mill, beside
having a large range for sheep pasturage
which Is perhaps the most profitable stock
kept on the present farm, as the Hock Of
sheep has for years furnished large part Of
the clothing for the paupers But we have
already written more than we intended;
we hope to hear from some of our friends
next week. Send along your communica-
tons with the names, and we viii gladly
publish them on whichever side they may
happen to be.

Iron ORE "A telegraph dispatch from
Bedford contains the following notice Of a
visit to that place, recently, by Gen. Geo. b.
Mcclellan, and a number Of leading iron
manufacturers
BEDFORD, April 20.-Gen. Geo. B. Nc
Glellan and number of leading iron manu-
facturers, arrived at this place yester-
day for the purpose of examining the re-
cent discoveries of vast iron deposits In this
vicinity. The location of extensive iron
manufactures is in contemplation. The
General and his party will spend several
days In the county.
If the General and his party of explorers
were to visit York on a similar errand, they
would find, not only "vast iron deposits
here, but some that are decidedly vaster
Immense and inexhaustable beds ofiron and
steel ore abound In our immediate vicinity,
and new and important discoveries are be-
ing made almost every day. The facilities
for the manufacture of steel rails and pig
iron are equal If not better in York County
than any other part of the Sta.e; and we
look forward to the day when furnaces will
smoke, and rolling mills clatter in every d.
rection within stones throw Of the bor-
ough. We venture this opinion in the face
of Dick Haldeman's recent rhodamontade in
Congress against a high protective tariff. for
the iron interests of Pennsylvania. - York
True Democrat.
We are glad to hear Of the discovery of
mineral wealth in any part of our State or
county, but beg leave to differ from our
friend Of the Democrat in regard to the
''vaster." We yield the palm to no coun-
ty in the State for vast deposits of valuable
iron ores, and as for facilities for cheap
manufacture, we have the authority of one
of the largest iron manufacturing corpora
tions in the State, who have proven the
assertion by actual experiment, that we can
manufacture iron here cheaper than any
where else in the United States, yet discov-
cred. But in one thing we are with our
York neighbors We have in our own
county, just as they have, eopperhead ma
jority, in politics, whose influence and votes
are cast for free trade and British interests
and against the profitable development Of
our vast mineral resources. For the con-
version of these blind followers of blind
leaders, and the opening of their eyes to
their own best interests, we propose to labor
in common with all the true friends of
American industry.

A YER's sARSAPARILLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys

Scrofulous affections and disorders, which were
aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until

ONE OF ITS Results. Before the tariff on
imported steel was made protective there
were no steel works in the United States
and we paid from $500 to $3.50 per ton to
foreigners for a good quality Of steel A
high protective duty on steel has built up
the manufacture in Pennsylvania until we
can now supply the market, and the result
is that to-day we can buy the same quality
of steel for from $50 to $500 per ton, or a
little more that half what we had to nav
when we were dependent on foreign sup
ply. In the same way we were obliged to
pay foreign manufacturers $I75 per ton for
steel rails for our railroads. A heavy duty
was laid on the foreign article, our own peo-
pie erected rolling mills for the manufacture
of steel rails, and to-day we can buy them
for $75 per ton. According to copperhead
free-trade preaching steel and steel rails
should have increased in price by reason of
the heavy duty, but the result is Just the
reverse they have fallen 10 price instead.
