VIRGINIA FoR IMMlsRANrs.

The Alexandria Gazette Of Monday has
the following which we heartily endorse:
"In an article on the advantages afforded
by the Southern States generally, but VT-
ginia particularly, to immigrants, not only
from Europe, but from the North and
West, the Washington Patriot says"
The great need of Virginia to-day is capital
and population. With an area of 2i,5l2 900
acres, unequalled in richness, and variety of
soil and productions, capable Of sustaining a
population of five millions, with more mineral
wealth and greater natural commercial and
manufacturing facilities than any of her sister
Atlantic States, she yet has population of but
enc and a quarter millions, and but 8,l65, GOO
acres under cultivation. Her vast mineral
wealth is almost wholly undeveloped, and her
great manufacturing and commercial advan-
tages have been but little utilized
"There is no country on the globe that
possesses all the advantages Of climate,
soil and production, mineral and ag.
ricultural, equal to that Of Virginia,
and could the tide of immigration
once be set towards her borders, and hei
hidden treasures developed by capital and
energy, her growth and prosperity would
be rapid, and in wealth and population she
would soon be, as she is in all other things
the leading State in the Union. Energy
and labor, backed by capital, are only
needeito make her pre-eminently great

MIR. GREELEY's Loves. In his Pitts

MIR. GREELEY's LOVES. I'm his Pitts
burg speech Mr.. Greeley said: 57
How / have sympathized with Pitsburg.
How have rejoiced in her prosperity. How
have wondered and admired her magnificent
growth. You know no other place on this Con
tinenJ has been dearer to me than Pittsburg.
Upon this the Washington Star remarks !:
Come, now, Horace, this won't do.
Every place YOU visit is dearer than the
other one. You are just entering upon
your grand electioneering round, yet at
smoky Pittsburg you have reached the
climax Of your words Of alteration. Didn't
you say up in New Hampshire that there
was no spot on earth so dear as the home
of your childhood? And didn't you tell the
Green Mountain boys that on the whole
you rather preferred them to your own
brothers; and didn't you cap that when
you got to Maine by your gushing admira-
ton of the hardy sons of toll who cut down
the big pine trees there? And when you
were eating clans in Rhode Island was
there any State like little Rhody? Now you
tell us that no other place on the Continent
is dearer to you than sooty Pittsburg.
Really, Horace, you are the most insncere
or inconstant Of lovers. If you go on in
this hyperbolic style the different localities
you make such fierce love to will give you
the mitten-sure. af

IT is known, well as any fact can be known,
that negroes were carried from Washington city,
where the President resides, to North Carolina,
and were registered and voted at the late cleo
ton. 1t is as well known that large bodies of
colored men have been carried from Mary land
and Virginia within the last two weeks, and col
oniZed IN PENNSYLVANIA, TO be used as Reaubli-
can voters Wig,
These extraordinary "facts," alleged to
be well known, and which in the case of
North Carolina, ought to be susceptible of
proof, are of the same piece of fabrication
as those displayed by the opposition press
on the eve of every important election.
| Had there been a word of truth in the
charges thus made about the North CARROLL
ma election, the proof of it would have been
forthcoming long ago, and the Democratic
candidate for Governor would have been the
first to take advantage filthy contcsting the
election with his political opponent. lfwhat
the Wing says were true, that the facts are
"well known" there would be no difficult
ty in having them "wel proved" and,
with the proof, Mr.. Merrimon would be
entitled to the gubernatorial chair, and
would have it. But the whole charge is
groundless, or, what is more likely, manu-
featured as cover for some Democratic
rascality not yet so clearly manifest as itmay
be. When Democrats raise the cry Of
"fiaud" on their political neighbors, it is
certain indication that they have some
deep-schemed fraud of their own which
they are anxious to cover up. >. .i

CONSERVATIVE Policy

II any Republican in the Fourth district
has any doubts about his duty towards
Porter and his faction. who are now trying
to produce divisions, dissensions and dis
cords' in our party, let him read the fol-
lowing from the leading editorial Of Dem
ocratic paper published in that district
the Petersburg Progess-entitled what
Shall We Do? 'In districts where the
Radical majorities are so heavy against US
that it is almost impossible to cut them
down, it is the duty of Conservatives to
encourage all divisions and discords that oc-
cur in the Radical party. To break the
party chains which bind SO efiectually; to
accustom them TO throw Oft league disci-
pline, and to divide them at the ballot, are
things which we must aid in doing, and In
good time we shall reap the fruit of the
policy"
This is frank confession as to the pol
icy Of the enelny--a policy which Mr..
Porter is now aiding and abetting to the
best of his ability

THE terrible effects of our monstrous legisla-
ton OF last winter are beginning to be felt
abroad, and, like chickens, our follies begin
ming to come home to roost A week or two
since we published the protest of the English
bondholders against the action of the legislature
In depreciating our bonds and iniuring our credit
by their refusal to pay the interest as per agree
ment, when they had the money in the treasury
and now we have a voice from Germany, ano-
ther of the great financial centres, assailing our
credit and casting doubt upon our honesty.
Quirer.
The terrible effects Of which the Enqui-
Ter complains are not SO much attributable
to the monstrous Legislation of last win
teri as to the more monstrous rascality
that conceived and engineered through the
Legislature of 1871 the rascally funding
bill of that session. 1t was that infamous
bill, and the eager haste of our State Off
Gals in funding the State debt under it,
that led to all the "terrble effects" which
have been experienced at home and abroad,
in reference to our financial standing and
credit. Our whole opposition to the
Walker-Wall-street funding bill was that
it struck vital blow to our credit, and
one from which it would be utterly impossi-
BILE for US to recover. 10 haze carried
out the provisions OF that bill was TO
hopelessly bankrupt the State, and
pass our financial resources irretrieya-
bly, into the keeping of the Wall-street
brokers and such other financial sbysters
as congregate thereabouts. Had the Con-
sentative press Of this State taken The
ground it should have done, with the fact
of our State bankruptcy staring them in
the face, and aided in presenting the fund
ing-bill swindle in its true light before the
financial world, our credit need not have
suffered as it has done. We venture to
say that there is not one intelligent bond
holder in ten of those who hold the princi-
pal part of our debt, who has any proper
conception Of the swindle which was
sought by our own State officials to be
fastened upon the State. Were the true
facts and figures before them. they would
cry out against it as we have
done, if they did not express their astonish-
ment that any people should consent to
be thus openly and wantonly swindled.
The Democratic press, to the extent of nine
journals in ten, not only advocated the
swindle, but kept every fact from publicity
which would have shown its true character
abroad.
Let the bondholders in England and
Germany once understand the true charac.
ter of the transaction, and the real object o.
the legislation Of last winter, and they will
see that what the people of Virginia sought
was the preservation of Their credit, and
such husbaadry oftleir resources as acoa.ld

GENERAL PATTON ANDERSON, who
served in the Confederate army with dis
tinction in the late war, died at Memphis
last week. The following incident, which
we clip from. the Ehq,ta'a, shines like
diamond in the fair setting Of manly char
acter. Every true soldier may shed tear
for one who, though foeman, once
remembered with pity the prisoners who
fell into his hands.
The Enquire, says:
A Union officer, writing at Jacksonville, Fla,
on the 9TH of April, 1864, spoke of the Generals
action In the following Words: Major General
Patton Anderson, commanding the Confederate
forces IN East Florida, sent yesterday to ourlnes
a flag of truce covering most courteous letter
to Brigadier-General Hatch. Accompanying
the letter he sent complete list OF our wounded
In his hands, so prepared as to show the charac-
ter of their wounds, &c, He also expressed the
| hope that sucha list might be the means of al
laying anxiety on thu part of the friends
and FAM les of the wounded prisoners.
Most glad am to chronicle an act so courteous
and humane as this, albeit rebel general Is its
| author" lie maintained his character for dash,
| generosity and love of his felow-men TO the
last.
We were for a tire a member of his brigade
and in frequent intercourse with him, and never
| in our varied experience in camp, have we met .
truer gentleman or more perfect soldier. lie was
friend and father to his men, rather than thei,
| commander. May the earth rest lightly upon
