NEEp4E MAKING. There is needle fac
tory in New Haven where the whole process
is done by single machine, without the
manuel labor of any person. A coil of steel
wire is put in, the machine cnts it off at the
required lengths, it cuts the steel pieces COM
secutiyeIy, punches the eye-holes, counter
sinks the eyes and grinds the points--and
in fact does everything until the needles
drop out completely formed. Another
machine picks them up and arrsnges them
heads and points together, and third piece
Of neobapissa pits them into papers. One
of these machines occupies 10 more space
than an ordinary table, and each of them
turns out from 10000 to 40, 900 needles a
day Most of the needles we're imported
from England until q few years past

Friday Morning, Nov. 1871.

This week We are enabled to chronicle
the immense triumph Of the Conservative
party in the cold Dominion. The MAORI
ty on joint ballot in the General Assembly,
though not exactly known, yet is certainly.
from the official returns received, much
larger than before. The only fear is that
it is too large, and we warn the newly elect
ed members that they, on this account, do
not forget that it is necessary to preserve
the party discipline of the past.
We take this occasion, also, to caution
them that the Conservatives of Virginia
have there eyes upon them and expect every
needful measure Of retrenchment and econ
omy at their hands, and of reform that ex-
perience and wisdom dictates
Where salaried Offices can be combined.
do SO, and reduce the salary. Where a
public office is shown by experience to be a
sinecure, abolish it. Where officers are
needed and salaries are too high, reduce
them, not excepting the pr diem of Legis-
lators, and in all cases where retrenchment
is practicable, retrench. The people can
not afford now to pay their hard earned
money away without an equivalent. They
want economy practiced wherever possible.
They demand that their burthens, where
heavy, shall be lightened.
In word the Legislature is expected to
consider the interest of the whole people.
the farmers, mechanics and all engaged in
industrial pursuits, as we'll as those who
represent capital
There is much to be done, and we com.
mend to the elected careful consideration
Of the necessities and wants Of the people
and. their attention thereto They have
elected you to do their bidding and they will
hold you to strict accountability. Ac
with the good of the whole people in view
and make Virginia, as you can, take steF
in progress, in educational facilities, in the
elevation of her laboring and productive in
terests, in the development of her immense
resources and in her general pecuniary ad
vancement, which will rebound to the credi
and benefit of the Conservative party ane
people of the State, as much as did theil
quiet and orderly course, whether in thu
midst Of war-with the iron, triangular ane
sharp, of military despotism, presented tt
The naked and lacerated breast of their Ole
mother, Or with government nearly o
their own choice enthroned, where, before
the minions Of tyrannical party, backet
by the bayonet, and with iron-clad oaths a
as peace offering, held high carnival.
In short, keep steadily in view the grea
end desired-to make Virginia the best gov
erned, least taxed and most progressive
State in the Union, and you will have earn
ed the award Of "well done, good and faith
full servants" Turn either to the right o.
left from this, to barter votes with Radical
ism Or others, to secure selfish ends or mere
localisms, and you can not outlive the exc
Grafton sure to follow.
Much is within your province for tw,
wears to come, and much will be expected
Of you-see tkat you neither falter nor fai
in discharging faithfully your duty.

Total so
In view Of all these facts, the earnest advice of
the Finance Committee to the Council is, let no
unnecessary unwise appropriations be made
but let US strictly adhere to the principles of
economy, and bring our expenditures within our
means. For already, in the first three months
of our term of office, one half of the revenue of
1871, left US, $l227O11, has been appropriated
and expended Unless we practice more econo-
my it were useless for us to remind the Council
of the fact long before our term of office ex-
pires, we will incur a large amount of debt, and
our people be cursed with burdensome and
oppressive tax for the year 1872. We may we'll
pause to ask, will not the forttude of the people
of Staunton begin to fail under the burden of
taxation. In closing our report, we again urge
the Council to a more economical administration
of the city government.
