MINERALS OF VIRGINIA.-The following
extract, taken from late number of Hdr-
per's .Aago@iae, is the opinion of three em-
inent mineraltgists, who have travelled over
Virginia, of the mineral wealth of this State
"To give an adequate description of the
mineral wealth which Virginia contains would
be not only to describe every rod of her en-
tire length, embracing hundreds of miles, but
to enumerate almost every mineral of value
ever known among mankind. 1t is no. in
gold alone that she abounds, but, scattered in
profusion over her almost entire surface, are
to be found iron, copper, silver, tin tellurum,
lead, platinum, cennabar, plumbage, mag
anese, asbestos kaolin, slate, clay, coal, roof
ing slate of great durability. marbles of the
rarest beauty, soapstone, sulphur, TOMBSTONE
(equal to the best Turkey) gypsum, lime,
copperas, blue stone, grind stone, cobalt, emery
and a variety of other materials that we have
hitherto been compelled to import or do with
out Indeed, it may oe said, without exag>
gcration, that in the State Of Nirgi ginia, in the
most singular juxtaposton of what might be
considered 2eologicaly incongruous materials,
is to be found an almost exhaustless fund of
God giving treasures, more than enough to
pay off tue whole national debt, and only
waiting tho magic touch of capital and en-
terprise to bring them to light for the benefit
OF man." .r..

CHARLEsTOWN,
More of Roderiok Random Butler.

This member of the Butler family, who so
narrowly escaped expulsion from the House
of Representatives on account of his barter of
a cadetship, has been using his frank for a
very singular purpose. We wonder that Rod
erick, who7is ''a nice young gentleman" him
self, allowed the "young lady of talent and
ability" to inquire any further. But here
is the remarkable Congressional document
franked by Butlcr to the New York Tribune,
which we find copied in that paper with the
following PREDATORY notice, Says that journal:
owe have received under the. frank of the
Hon. r. r. Butler. still lmember of Congress
from Tennessee, notwithstanding his little
cadetship escapade, the following Congress
sional document, which we hasten to lay
before our readers: ni
,7E Is "WAsH1NGroN, March IS, 1870.
"Editor Ne,o York TrfJmne-Dear Sir
I wish you would please insert in your paper
for one week the following
"CoRREspoNDENoE.-A young lady of
talent and ability desires the love and cor
respondence of nice young gentleman.
"Address NELLIE MoNTRosE,
7sf "P. o., Washington, ID. G"
From this it would appear that the cadet
peddler is in more rings that one, and is
worthy of his connection with the party, of
grand moral ideas.
