In visiting the works, we were most
struck with the vast scale upon which
everything is projected-the wide reach Of
enterprise aud administrative ability grasp
ing all available helps, resources and out
looks for the future. The company is so
strong in capital, ability, and the public
confidence, that it is difficult to set limits
to its possibilities of future growth.
1t is about to build bridge across the
james, connecting its property with the
Richmond and Danville railroad, via Belle
Isle. This bridge will be 1900 feet long,
and will put the Tredegar mills in con-
nection with the whole Southern system
of railroads.
1t is most gratifying to our pride in
home industry to learn that the Tredegar
company has taken the contract to furnish
the iron for all the bridges on the western
end of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
which are to be built by Cleveland firm
They are also shipping the spikes for
relaying the track on the Ohio and Miss
issippi railroad. This contract amounts
to 100000, and it is remarkable because
the line runs through the centre Of IlIi-
nois and terminates at St. Louis, only fifty
miles from Iron Mountain noted for the
abundance aud purity of its ores, and the
quality of the iron manufactured.
If the Richmond works can compete
successfully in so simple matter as rail-
road spikes, with the iron men of Ohio and
Missouri, the markets of the whole country
are open to us in this branch of trade.
With our superior ores and coal, and the
reputation which such works as the Tred-
egar are giving to our products, Virginiais
capable of attaining an industrial develop
ment in the manufacture of iron equal to
any State in the Union.
She only needs, in common with the
whole country, that wise and liberal policy
which encourages all industries, which
protects the farmer by fostering manufac-
lures and affords him sure market. which
welcomes all trades, professions, pursuits
and opinions to its broad arena, stimuat-
ing each with free competition and organ
izng all into the symmetric growth of a
powerful state.

He would doubtless rather not see the large
number OF these persons brought before him

pose of their cases when called to his atten

bias, and We hear of no complaint against hun

spect of all lovers of just men, having proved
himself man above the petty prejudices 50
rife at the present time.

right, when they cheated them in the sale of a

Richmond shops propose furnishing such
articles, and If the people of the State, and
particularly the City. Council of Richmond,
