Where manufactures are carried on to
any considerable extent the people under
stand them and know that investments in
the stock of manufacturing companies. pays
as well if not better than any other. In
such localities, the stock of new manufac-
turing establishment is taken up in the
most speedy manner, sometimes in the space
of day, and the establishment put under
way at once. Men in those localities do
not rely upon leaning their money, and
paper shaving is an exception. They
are as 10th to take their money out of man.
ufacturing companies and loan or put it in
to Bank Stock, as we here are to cease to
loan, 'shave'' &c., and invest in manufac-
lures. This is but natural. A mau who
has tried any business, which proves to be
paying one, very rarely is willing to try
any other to the exclusion of the one he
knows has paid him.
1t is this very thing, for the interest of
our whole people, that we have been arguing
against. Every man here who has hun
dred or two dollars is striving for an inter-
est upon it and is not unwilling to buy a
little paper with it, Like the old gentle
man, who. hesitating to give his daughter
several hundred dollars, said II don't
cara for the money, but, just think, the In
terest will be gone forever'' 1t seems to DO
the interest that is striven after. They
fear to invest in manufactures, lest it may
not pay as great percentage as loaning
when, in truth, the experience Of manufac-
turing districts is that it pays better-s
graeter interest, if that is what is wanted
And instead ofimpoverishing ncigh5or to
pay interest or the principal of piece of
paper, it builds him up and at tho same
time it enriches you, and gives both greater
| advantages each succeeding year.
We hope that our readers will examine
into the profits Of manufacturing establish
ments to stockholders, and we are satisfied
that they will seek to derive all the advan.
tages from such establishments, (Which in
a few years are destined to exist here in
lumbers,) by being stockholders, as well
as purchasers of the articles turned out by
them. at lower price than they now cost.
Such course will not only advance the in
tsrcsts of the community at large, but will
also rebound to their pecuniary advantages,
also, in numberless incidental ways.

The Public Debt.

In tho majority report Of the joint COM
mittee Of Finance and Claims, in the West
Virginia Legislature, we find the following
reference to the public debt Of Virginia
The proportion of the public debt of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, which this State
assumed, is now being pressed upon our
consideration. 1t must be ascsrtalned and
met in that spirit Of fairness, which is
the Distinguishing characteristic of our pee
pie. =: x In regard to the debt Of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, your committee
have to say, that they have labored under
great difficulties is procuring accurate infor-
nation. There is very little, if anything,
to DO had upon the subject, in any Of the
departments of our State government, and
they have therefore had to rely upon such
information as they could procure from other
well-informed sources they, therefore, file
a statement herewith, of the amount and
character Of said debt, derived from such
sources, but would say, that it is, of course,
not entirely correct, though in their opinion
it closely approximates to correctness.

HOW Soc Il. Collected His Naosa-
ey---A New SsHeosage.''
To show how beautifully the laws for
collecting debts are made to play into law
yers' hands, I shall give you two cases,
both Of which can easily be proven
In 1860, Joe T., q patient, easy tenn
pered Miller, we'll known in the County,
lost both patience and temper in frui;less e.
forts to collect bond of $125, due him
from Joe M, shrewd but not very
prompt individual, and at last pu. the bond
Sin law" In due time an execution was
obtained, levy made, and delivery bond
given, and 'sgreeny" would have consid-
cred the affair as O. K. But the f.ct is
that Joe T--has received 81 interest
and has been compelled to pay above $50
in costs, while Joe M has never paid q
cent. joe Thinks it very strang &c and
rather hard, that lie should be called on to
pay instead Of receiving money as he had
fondly imagined But then he is an old To-
gy and net up to the tim' S.
However, in the upper part Of the County
there lives farmer VINO is no ''greeny"
now. He had it all rubbed off few weeks
ago, in this wise.
He was endorser on q bond of about
$1,000, ca which execution had been is
sued, and, much to his surprise and morti-
fcation, the sheriff levied on his personality
and advertised it for sale on certain day
In great anxiety, the farmer whose name
was John Smith, Ono kin to our John
Smith) after making every effort in vain to
borrow the money, wendell his way sadly
and sorrowfully to Staunton to sec if his
lawyer could devise some means of escape
from the impending ruin
He came home whistling, with his face
as broad as ever, and feeling independent
of Sheriff and every body else Sale day
soon came round, and at the appointed
hour the neighbors aoeked in-some to SYM
pathize, some TO get bargains" &c. The
first piece Of property offered was an old
roam horse, on which Toby Brown bid 81,
and Mr.. John Smith backed him by prompt
ly bidding $1,000 (the amount of debt, in
terest and cost and, as mo body offered more,
the old roam was knocked off to Mr.. Smith.
AS the Sheriff's demand was satisfied, he
announced the sale closed, and called on
Mr.. Smith to comply with the "terms,"
bond at six months with satisfactory securi-
ty. Mr.. S. did comply, led the old
roam (Which was not the only individual
sold that day. back to the stable, and went
off to his house we'll satisfied.
When the note falls due, the no der will
be just where he was when he first brought
suit and if he chooses can try the operation
again, and perhaps with the same success.
Who makes money by this process? The
same men aOho devised the process.
In my next I will show you how some
estates in this County have not been ssttled.
