sequence is stocks of coal are increasing at
all the principal coal centres, the supply at
Port Richmond probably reaching at this
time seventy-five thousand tons. Vessels
are in demand, and freight charges have adj
vanced from 10 to 25 cents per ton. This
increase of freights, with lower prices for
coal tells very severely against the trade and
must naturally lessen production by forc-
ing the less favorably located mines into a
suspension of labor. The circular Of the
Pennsylvania Coal company, offering the
Pittston coal by retail at S. % for egg,
$5 rs for stove and S4 Is for chestnut per
ton of 1900 pounds, has so intimidated
dealers that they refuse to purchase at any
price at which miners and shippers can pos
sibly sell without great loss. Even the ad-
vantage that might have resulted from the
few days of cool weather has been lost
The following were the quoted prices of
coal at Port Richmond on tho I'd instant !:
Schuylkill ash, S. 25a5 so ; lump, steam
boat and broken, 81 75; egg, 81 75a4 So |;
stove, 81 75a5 and chestnut, SO 75a3 90.

Moorhcld Valley is about eleven miles in
length and from two to five miles in width,
and is of very rich land. The whole extent
of the valley Is owned by few men, who
have improved it to a very high extent, but
still not so high as some Of our small farm
ers at the North would, if they possessed it
in farms of one hundred acres. One man
here by the name of McNeal, owns 5000
acres of this Valley land, and cultivates
about one quarter of it. These large farm
ers raise grain only, and feed it all to stock,
cattle and hogs, for which Moorfeld Valley
has already been famous. They say now,
however, that stock raising does not pay,
as for some cattlerccently sent to Baltimore
market. only q cents per pound gross were
received, and they are turning their atten-
ton to sheep raising as wool is looking up.
We wonder whether the poor people of Or
ange have to pay those old acar prices for
meat as usual, and why it is so when the
wholesale market is so extremely low.

AT this season of the year, game is very

season has been peculiarly favorable to
game. Every egg has hatched, and with
deer the absence of cold storms has been
beneficial to the young iawn. Besides the

Virginia.

We adverted yesterday to the late cleo
ton in Virginia, and urged the Importance
of such distribution Of Federal patronage
in that State as would best advance the Re-
publican cause. Our remarks on this sub
ject have attracted the attention of loyal
Virginians, and have their approval.
The writer of this is as firm friend as
adopted citizens have in the South. He has
always taken their part, and insisted on
their enjoying equal rights of all kinds with
loyal natives. There should be no distinc-
ton between native and adopted citizens in
elections or appointments to office. The
scales should be held evenly and Justly be-
tween them. Justice should be done to
both. But many Of the native Union men
Of Virginia have been ignored in the Fedc-
raj appointments. This fact is apparent,
and is felt. 1t has lost the Republican
party thousands of votes III that State. We
trust the appointing power will look to this
matter in time and correct this injustice, so
as to give the Republicans the full weight of
the whole Republican column in Virginia in
1872.
We go further, and say every Democratic
postmaster in Virginia should be removed,
if at all practicable, and loyal men appoint
ed. The special postoffice agents for Vir-
ginia should give attention to this.
And then the Federal revenues in Virgil
MIA should be collected by citizens of the
State. Non-residents and strangers are
Objectionable to the people, and can
not have the interests Of the Republican
party of the State as much at heart as
citizens. This is not Icold. hard gov
ernment, which would think only of the
revenue, and pay no respect to the feel
ings and preferences Of the people from
whom the revenue is drawn. A discreet
and thoughtful officer, known to the people
as one Of them, can collect the revenue
with as much ease, make himself more
agreeable to the people, and thus more
greatly enhance the popularity of the Re-
publican cause, than stranger or non-res.
ident can.
We make no attack on any one. We are
not even in complaining mood These
suggestions are offered in a friendly spirit
and with wish to promotc,the Republican
cause in Virginia. - WASHINGTON Chronicle

A LIVELY correspondent Of the Orange
Chronicle, of New Jersey, thus discourses
of Virginia and Virginians. Our friend is a
decided Democrat, and will no doubt value
real estate higher in this region since the re-
cent election. As the impressions of a
good observer, who knows how to tell of
what he sees, the following extracts will be
of interest:
The native Virginian is tall and straight !;
holds his head high; always addresses his
associates as gentlemen-same as the
Orange hatters do-wears long tailed grey
overcoat-always grey-says, sir, after
every sentence, and, ifof re1y good family,
that is, as old as the hills and full of scro-
sfnla, he will add, sir, to every few words
when talking to stranger, until he ascer-
tains whether the status, that is, property
qualification and scrofulous blood, is the
same in native born Jerseyman as in a
native born Virginian. Na-theless, aside
from most of the old time fellows who viii
never lower their heads until they are low
cred by nature in the grave, the ma
tive born Virginian is, as a rule, a
kind and hospitable gentleman, free
from deceit and meanness. / was

News from Mecklenburg-- United Party
Young Elected to the House of Delegates.
TO tie Editor Of TIE State Journal
The election in this county passed off
quietly, but Republicans were out in full
force, and the result is glorious Republic
can victory. We have elected our ticket
by majorlties ranging from 100 to 1900,
and this, with the loss of one township
having majority of $50, which had no
election, owing to the loss of poll book.
Our majority has been increased from
last year some 300. In my letter some
weeks since, stated that if any county
beat old Mecklenburg they would be COM
PEELED to work for it. We claim to be the
banner county in this canvass until we learn
otherwise. Our candidates for the Legisla-
ture, Hamilton and Young, deserve much
credit for the untiring energy displayed in
organizing the Republican forces in this
canvass.
We have had no splits in our ranks; we
know no man by his color, but, after
making our nominations, whether white or
colored, We unite and pull together for the
success of the party. We wish other coun-
ties could have been moro harmonious, in
which case the result might have been DIFF
terent in the State. REPUBLICAN.
