THERE were in 1871 about 80 ,oo0, 900
sheep in the United States, yielding an av-
erage of four pounds Of wool each, or l2s.-
100000 pounds in the aggregate. In adj
dition to this product, tho annual irnporta.
ton of wool amounts to about 20 900 900
pounds, at cost of nearly $4,000 ,ooO.
In addition to this Importation, the United
States import wooden goods to the amount
of nearly $44, 100000 per aanum. There
is room, therefore, for an increase of IT.
100000 more sheep in the country to sup.
ply the home demand for wool, and for
about 100000 to displace the importa.
ton Of wooden goods. A large number of
these might be profitably VERY prohtably)
raised in Virginia. But our Legislature is
more anxious to look after property in
dogs than in sheep. Somebody has intro
ducsd bill for the better protection of
property IN dogs. If this is not grim
joke in the matter of State legislation, then
somebody wants leather medal Of large
pattern and exceedingly well embossed.

The census reports shows steady in
crease of the German and Scandinavian
elements in our immigration, and both of
these classes are welcome additions to our
population. The Swedes, Norwegians and
Danes, formerly the least in number among
the immigrants of all nations who have
found their way to our shores, have made
such rapid progress in the industrial arts and
other avocations to which they have de-
voted themselves, that their reputation is
established and their ser vices in continual
demand. The Industrious, frugal and tenn
perate Germans, whose numbers are also
increasing from year to year, are better
known among us than the Scandinavans.
but the latter are beginning to speak for
themselves, and, in time, they too Will
make their mark upon American soc iety.

WE noticed last evening, during some of
the manipulations of the electroscope by
Professor Rowland, a disposition on the
part Of portion of the audience to be a
little FESTIVE, if not to express dissatisfac-
ton with tho seeming delays in some of
his more difficult and delicate exhibitions.
No demonstration Of this kind came from
those who had any proper appreciation of
the splendid exhibition they were witness.
ins-an exhibition by which the scientists
of the world determin the constituent
elements of the sun, and actually
produce q light having all the
properties of sunlight itself. 1t is less than
three years ago that similar exhibition
was given for the first time to the public in
the halls of the Sheffield Scientific School.
in New Haven, department of the Yale
University, and there was but one man in
all that formidable institution who could
handle the instrument, and he failed to do
it with anything like the success that at
tended Professor Howland's experiments
last evening. 1t was not creditable to the
intelligence of the audience that such a
thoughtless display of rudeness should have
been exhibited as was shown by few per-
sons Ito the great annoyance Of others in
the lecture-room. 1t was only pardonable
on the score of such ignorance as is to be
pitied rather than lampooned by a jour-
nalist.

The State Of New Jersey has for the
last forty years been afflicted with the
same mania in regard to railroad franchises

The State Of New Jersey has for the
last forty years been afflicted with the
same mania in regard to railroad franchises
that now troubles some of our bucolic
minds in Virginia. They don't want but
one road to run through the State, and if
they could only make tho inhabitants of
every other State pay good round tax for
passing over it--pay enough to defiay the
entire expenses of the State, with hand
some annual surplus over-they would be
about as happy people as could be found
outside Of Utopia. This was precisely the
financial expedient to which New Jersey re-
sorted and happily Ike IT up for years. But
the war knocked her little enforced subsidy,
ami Tom Scott now threatens to lay down
an iron tram-way for her which would
add ten million to her grand list but
the dread of such material advancement
quite unnerves that sensitive old lady--the
New Jersey public--who would rather
live and die in the seaboard marshes, mo-
rass-lands, and lagoons of the Navesink,
than to wake up to anything like tho life
and industry that stirs in the Pennsylvania
veins of Tom Scott.
We have just such brilliant specimens Of
humanity here in Virginia--men who think
that railroads will BIO the ruin of US, unless
built by Virginia money. Well, let these
old Bourbons of tho paleozoic age, set
themselves to work and dig gold enough
out Of our auriferous mountains to build
these railroads with, before they object to
anybody's else money being used for that
purpose.
The truth IL, that every railroad built in
the State by Tom Scott's money, or any
body's else money, will Impress five
times the cost of the road in value upon
the property Of the section through which
it passes, besides adding to our grand list
the full cash cost of the road to tighten the
burden Of public taxes. Let us have o
general railroad law, encouraging the in
vestment of capital here in these grand
enterprises, and let who will, como anc
touch our material industries with this
more than magic wand of national thrift
and power.

The population of the globe is usually
estimated at one thousand millions. A new
and careful estimate, based on the very
latest returns, has just been published at
Gotha by two competent German statisti.
clans, who calculate the present number of
the earth's inhabitants at thirteen hundred
aad seventy-seven millions of souls, which
is probably the nearest attainable approx.
nation to the truth.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-12-07

THE Wing thinks that the tax law OF
last session, which requires that parties
desiring to place capital proftably in this
State shall pay into the treasury five per
cent. of the amount they may 80 desire to
invest, is an excellent one, and ought under
no circumstances to be repealed. From
the Whg's standpoint it is no doubt right.
Persons desiring that Virginia should
remain an statu quo for the next
thousand years, with her every in
dustry paralyzed beyond the hope Of re-
yival, should take precisely the position
of the Whig, and resolutely stick to it, no
matter what amount of material stagna-
ton, paralysis and death may follow. The
man who thinks to bring capital into the
State for the purposes Of quickening any
Of our dead industries into life is the worst
sort OF magician in the estimation of the
jphig, and ought to be decapitated the
moment he thinks of setting foot upon our
sacred soil. How dare such sorcersrs,
neeromancers, enchanters. and practicers
IN the black art Of material industry a. rail-
road men, developers Of mines, founders of
furnaces, builders of factories, and promo
tsrs Of industry generally, set their impious
feet In the great State Of Virginia. The
"Niobe of nations' wants to weep
wants 10 bemoan, lament, and traditions
ally howl over the past, with nothing Of
the din and hammering of industry to dis.
turb her IN her chronic dread of the future
aud her glorious recollection of the past!
Newspapers afflicted with this sort Of
mania are entirely excusable for fighting
legislation In the interests of the State.
The deader the industries of Virginia, the
more gloriously she will shine as the
+" Niobe of nations," and the happier will
the Whig be in its aspirations for the
future. When chronic infrmity of this
sort sfilcts patient. we can only recom-
mend hellebore and such other light evacu-
ants and alternatives as may conduce to a
gentle rest.
