WE have to thank General j. d. limbo
den for printed copy of the paper read by
him before meeting of the members of
the Legislature and prominent citizens of
Richmond in the capitol on the 10Th of
February last, treating upon the coal and
iron resources of Virginia. We gave very
full abstract of this valuable paper at the
time 1t was read, and shall, no doubt, draw
largely from it from time to time, as we
speak of these great material interests of
the State, either directly or in connection
with others. The address makes a PAM
phlet OF some thirty pages, which is hand
somely printed by Messrs. Clemmtt &
Jones, of this city.

ing business in this State, which must
favorably commend itself to the considera-
ton of that body, both from the tenor Of
the document and the character of those
whose names are attached to it. We hope
that no action will be taken by the General
Assembly which shall so seriously affect
this important interest as virtually to drive
1t from the State. We know that any un-
just discrimination against foreign compa-
mes, or companies organized in other
states and doing business in this, will
be as detrimental in the end to
Virginia companies as to those having
their agencies established here. For in
most of the states, principle of inter-
state comfy has been adopted by which
such hostile legislation on the part Of Vir-
gnia could be at once retaliated without
any additional legislation on their part.
We are glad to see that the President of
the leading Life Insurance company in the
State joins with the other petitioners in
deprecating anything like hostile legislation.

GoocHLAND COUNTY, VA,

TO the Editor Of the State Journal.


10 the Editor or the State Journal:
:. AS the dog question is being extensively
discussed, and notwithstanding the urgent
appeals of your paperin behalf of the dog
tax, as well as from many other sources in
the State, the Legislature seems disinclined
to give the people the real relief demanded.
AS near resident, therefore, to "Dog-
Town." please permit me through your
columns to give the benefit of the expert
ence of the inhabitants of that town: In the
first place, the killing of sheep is compara-
lively small evil, for sheep raising has been
very, eftectually broken up in this vicinity
by the numerous CANNES. But the serious
evil with us is, that swine, beef, and all
other kinds of meat are becoming mon
sstrous scarce. Our supply ofeggs frequent-
ly vanlshes in a night, and our corn-cribs
are rapidly becoming empty, and we very
much fear that even human flesh will be-
come prey, by-and-by, to the ravenous
dogs. We therefore instruct our delegate
to demand of the Legislature, either to
pass law authorizing the killing of some
OF the dogs in "Dog Town." or requiring
one half of them, at least, to be sent to the
adjoining county of Fluyanna, where they
can feed on perstmmons. This would be
having an eye to proper legislative business.

MISS MINNIE LEE.-This young lady.
lately member of the theatrical company
at the Richmond Theatre, will give an
entertainment at Virginia Hall on to-
morrow evening. The performances will
consist of dramatic selections, in which she
will be assisted by many of our first-class
amateurs. Miss Minnie, during her con-
nection with the stage, has attracted much
favorable comment, and she is deserving of
cordial support in this her first attempt
at independent effort. The price of ad-
mission is small, and it is to be hoped the
young people of Richmond will give the
young actress a large audience.

MISS BRANDT's CoNoERT.-Miss
Brandts concert at Virginia Hall last night
was, so far as the performances were con-
cerned, grand success, though the house
was not more than half filled with people.
The execution of the various pieces of the
programme was immeasurably better than
on the former occasion, and we thought
and said then that all did well. The voung
lady herself has overcome much of the diff.
iidence and timidity which alone marred
her performances, and last evening, while
her sweet songs filled all hearts with de-
light, her own graceful and confident man
ners placed her audience perfectly at their
ease. We do not hesitate to assert that
the concert was the best amateur effort
ever witnessed in Richmond. Messrs.
Wlldt, Redford, Lubbock, Chamberlayne
and Wendlinger are musicians of fine tai
ents and culture, and won new laurels
among their friends last night. Mr.. Marsh,
whom we heard last evening for the first
time, added much to the success of the en-
tertainment, his handling of the clarionet
being skillful in high degree. Many of
the pieces were loudly eacored during the
evening, and the frequent repetitions pro-
!onged the entertainment to a late hour.
Miss Brandt was the recipient of several
handsome bouquets, which were thrown to
her from the audience,

TOBACCO TAX--Ffoposed Neetino of
Aangf facturers and Operatiues.-We are
assured that the tobacco manufacturers of
THIS CITY, as well as the large number of
workmen who are dependent upon the fac
torres, now unfortunately imperative. for
iaoor and the means of subsistence. have
concluded to holda public meeting to give ex-
pression to their views concerning the oues-
ton fraught with such vital consequences
70 them. This meeting will probably take
place on Thursday evening of the present
week: Of the hour and the place at which
itwlll be held we shall be able to speak
advlsedly In subsequent issue Of the
STATB JOURNAL.
! it is the Just policy of the government to
feheye the industrial interests of the coun-
try OF all burdens of taxation possible, with
strict regard for the public welfare, and
immediate action with regard to the tobac-
co interests of Virginia seems most
desirable: Large numbers of the
| poor, OF both colors, of this city, are
wholly dependent upon the tobacco fac
eories lor the means of procuring the
necessarles OF life, and as nearly ali these
estaDiishments have been closed through
out tne past winter on account of the un-
sioo W iVSsiStlon Win regard to the |
staple, it follows that the enforced idlene*s
OF the operatives has reduced them to
condition of want and misery, from which |
they beg to be relieved.
Such reduction of the tax as wisdom
snail approve, and uniformity in its appli-
cation, would restore much needed conf
dence OF capitalists. give immediate en-
ployment to thousands of our citizens. and
relieve much of the misery which long in
activity has entailed upon our own COM
munlty and upon the people of many other
parts of the State.
