ENGLISH IMM1GRAr1oN.-The Alex
andria Gazette, noticing the arrival OF
some English immigrants in search of
lands, says:
''These gentlemen gave encouraging
news as to what may be expected from
England. They say that many of the
best class of Englands citizens are con
templating making Virginia their future
home. In a letter brought by them it
is stated that there ARE now two com
panies forming for the purpose. The
letter also says: 1T will be ofgreat SER
vice to us if you could send US, in
connection with your real estate papers
which we find very useful, ali the infor-
nation you can collectrelative to the
advantages Of your Statethat will in

There are large numbers of PEG
pie in this country searching for itifol'-

will do so as soon as they can see the
right chance and know where to CO.
Maps Of Virginia and information of
any Kfhu are nara TO ma mere. All
the assistance Of this kind you can give
will be higly valued. 1t is to be hoped
that the Legislature will make some
provision the next session to send all
the information to Europe that is re-
-quired. Maps are wanted, also history
Of Virginia setting forth all the advan-
tages the State possesses in climate, soil
and mineral wealth. Every effort is
being made by other States to induce
the thousands who are leaving England,
France, Germany, and other countries
Of Europe to settle within their boun-
DIARIES, and the wonder is that Virginia
has done as well as it has without any
effort at all. What could not have
been accomplished if the State. had
made the same exertions as other
States?"

counts Of local papers are not grossly

Palazzola, Sicily, was one Of the most
terrible on record. In five minutes
time the town was absolutely laid in
ruins, and fearful loss of, life incur

that not single house remains uninju-

of fragments and rubbish. The Incl

to be almost incredible. There was a
store twenty-five hectolitres of wheat, of
which not trace is anywhere to be
seen. The books Of the Excise and of
the Land Registry offices have vanish

The PRESENT AND THE New Cox
GREss.-There is every probability that
the law Of 1867 requiring each new
Congress to meet for organization on
the 4th day of March, instead of the
first Monday in December, will have to
be reenacted. 1t was repealed last
session by majority of three votes in
House through the persistency Of Mr..
Dawes and the aid of the Democratic
members. The coming session con-
tains but fifty-fve working days, Of
which the first half would be fully re-
quired by the Appropriations Com
mittee if the estimates were now ready,
SO that the bills could be fully prepared
in advance of the meeting But there
will be unavoidable delay in this partic-
ular, and the days of the session before
the holiday adjournment will be wasted
as before. There ara eighty-three bills
on the House docket alone which are
special orders, and must come up, and
all the important legislation arising
from the Treaty Of Washington has to
be considered in committee and passed
through each House. Nearly all the
old Republican members who are rec
lected to the New Congress are writing
to the committeeman who are already
here urging the necessity Of a session OF
the new Congress Immediately upon the
expiration of the old, and those here
concur in the views of their correspon-
dents Washington Correspondence New

The complete returns from the State
Of Virginia give Greeley 1854 votes
and Grant 9346S, Grants majority 1914.
In 1869, Walker received 1855 and
Wells 101204. Walkers majority 18-
331, Conservative loss has been 1857
votes While the returns are discourg-
aging, the state cannot yet be counted
among the Republican states. A close
examination proves that we have a
strong Conservative reserve force who
did not take part in the last election.
The Valley counties a one can over
come the Radical majority, and give
the Conservative party handsome one.
This can only be achieved by thorough
organization. The next state election

ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF THE PERILs

ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF THE PERILs
OF THE TRACK-LAYERs IN M1NNEsorA.-
As the. tracklayers on the extension of
the Wenona and St. Peter railroad
were approaching the western State line
at the rate Of two miles daily a terrible
storm last Thursday night enveloped
them and cut them off from communica-
ton with civilization. The working
force numbers over eight hundred men,
and so sangr1ine were their expectations
that the favorable weather would out
last November that no preparations
were made to avert the calamity, such
as, it is feared, has befallen them. On
ly a limited supply of provisions was
kept in store, for, although a hundred
miles distant from the telegraph con-
struction trains, they maintained regular
communication with Sleeping Eyes
the nearest white settlement. When
the intelligence of the storm reached
Wenona, J. H. Steward, general super
intendent, started out with two locomo.
tives and train Of cars, but so heavy
and deep were the snow-drifts, and so
intense the cold, that up to Saturday
morning they had not passed New Ulm.
At that place two additional locomo-
tives were attached to the train, and
then taking on board rations for thirty
days and one hundred and fifty men,
besides materials with which to fit up
boarding Accommodations in the cars, the
train was again started.
A passage had to be forced through
drifts eight and ten feet deep, and even
where the snow did not exceed one
foot in depth, so hard it was packed
that recourse was had to shove be
fore any advance could be made On
Sunday the train had advanced TWEEN
ty-fve miles In the mean time the
storm ragged with violence unprece-
dented, and when last heard. from on
tuesday night, the relief train was
stuck fast in the ever-accumu ating
snow, forty mics west OF eeping Eye,
and eighty miles short Of the suffer
ing trackmen.
Yesterday morning the telegraph
wires were down west of St. Peter,
and the last reports from Wenona in
the afternoon state that the wind has
increased to a furious gale. For six
days the storm has continued with un-
abated fury.
The painful impression is created
that the men at the end of the track
will starve before relief reaches them:
No supplies are known to be accessible,
for the line is being constructed in ad-
vance Of the Government survey far
into the country uninhabited save by
few squatters and sicky Indians.

The PRESIDENT DECLINES A GIF'

.Fa he L hES1DENl CECI1NES A
In addition to his resistance of Simon
Cameron, we note that the President
has refused to accept suit ofinaugura-
ton clothes. Here is the fact as we
find it stated in the papers:
"a Pittsburgh clothier telegraphed
to President Grant on election day off
ering him new suit of clothes. The
answer he got was from General Horace
Porter, and is given in the Pittsburgh
Gazette as follows ''The President will
have, and very reluctantly, too, to de
cline your generous offer of one of your
best suits, to be worn at his inaugural
next March-not but that he believes
they are the best clothes made, but
We're he to accept, Senators Sumner,
Schurz, Trumbull, and Others, would be
very jealous, and would, no doubt, de.
mand suits for themselves; and if refus-
ed would ask for an investigating COM
mittee, thereby costing the Government
thousands of dollars, with the usual re-
suits. "-Cincimnati Commercial.

Thursday Morning, November 2sth, 1879.

The Legislature will meet on next
Wednesday,. From the legislation of
this winter, we have no reason to ex-
pect anything which will contribute to
the material prosperity of the people
We are not of that class who believe
that it is within the power of Legislative
bodies to relieve their constituents from
the burden of. debt and, at the same
time enable chem at once to become a
wealthy and. prosperous people. Wise
and iudicious legislation may aid the
people. but ultimate success must come
from another source. The various
measures of relief which have since the
war periodically excited the people are
only schemes to take the property of one
class without compensation and give it
to another who have been unfortunate
or improvident, and must in the end
contribute more to the impoverishment
than to the building up of the state.
The new constitution and the laws
which have been passed to give effect
to its provisions have been necessarily
imperfect and if our Legislature, after
Observing the practical effect of these
laws can correct the errors of the past
and give us sound, wholesome codeait
is as much as the people have a right
to expect. A great error,' which has
been frequently committed, is to .ex-
pect from the Legislature things, which
they have no power to. grant. Let us
not expect too much, but let us rather
hope that after an experience of one
session, and free intercourse with their
constituents for months, they may be
enabled to aid the people ia achieving
the prosperity for which they have SO
long looked. .

FEcTFD BY THE BosToN FIRE. Some
anxiety is excited among the wool mer-
chants with reference to the Boston
fire, as great portion of the wool
stored in that city was from California,
and large quantities are now in transit
The firm Of B. p Flint q Co. alone
have 100000 pounds on the way. If
the Boston consignees are bankrupt by
the fire, the question is whether this
wool en- route must be placed among
their assets and sold for the benefit Of

Francisco shipper can recover it by
paying back fhe amounts drawn against
it on the bills Of lsding. Ian Francis

L1TnoGRArH1c SroNE-The company
formed recently in this city to work a
mine Of photographic stone in Rock
bridge county, Va, will within fort
night throw open their project to the
public. The only other mine of this
kind known in the world is in Bavaria,
and the reason given for the recent
advance of the price Of photographic
stone is that the Bavarian stone is Civ
ing out. Some idea of the Importance
Of this Rockbridge County mine may
be had from the fact that small
photographic. stones from Bavaria sell at
twenty-six cents pound, and the pri-
ces of :. larger pieces increases in geo
metrical proportion, but thousands Of
tons of larage-size stones Of uniform
and very superior quality can be got
from the Virginia mine. -Bakinsore
