In an article on the advantages afforded by
the Southern States generally, but Virginia
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 au area OF -, 900
acres, uueoualed 10 richness aud variety OF soil
and productions, capable of sustaining popu-
lation of FIVE millions, with more mineral wealth
and greater natural commercial and manuiac-
turing facilities than any Of her sister Atlantic
States she yet has a population OF but one and
quarter millions, aud but S,l65, 900 acres I'M
der cultivation. Her vast mineral wealth is al
most wholly undevelopcd, and her great manu-
featuring and commercial advantages have been
but little utilized. .
There is no country on the globe that posses
ses all the advantages of climate, soil and pro-
duction, mineral and agricultural, equal to that
of Virginia, and could the tide of immigration
once be set towards her borders, and her hid
den 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 IL
the Union. Energy and labor, backed by
capital, are only needed to make her pre- emil
ncntly great.
