TIE GREAT VALLEY.-The L. S. Cen
sus of 1870 shows, conclusively, that
the Shenandoah Valley Of Virginia, l25
miles long and % wide, embracing the
counties of Augusta, Rockingham,
Shenandoah, Page, Warren, Clarke,
Frederick, jefferson and Berkeley, with
a population Of about 10000, to AN
area of 28, 49j square miles, of a cash
value Of $7O,O0J0O0, produces more
from the same amount Of Agricultural
labor, and is freer from sickness Of all
kinds, than any portion of the United
States There are l,00I,96l acres Of
improved lands and GO, $50 unimproved,
and taking into consideration its i'm
mense developed and undeveloped min
eral resources, there is no fancy in the
Indiannam e-Shenandoah-' laugh
ing daughter of the star" but truth,
for the stars shine on no such "poor
mans country on this continent, and
their daughter" fairly "laughs" in the
wealth and healthfulness of her bounti-
ful lands.

doing of Congress and the Legislature
of his State; the ups and downs OF the

for making subscriptions to newspapers

this State is the time appropriate, as the

will be botl: generous and protracted.
The Wheeling Register will have a cor

TWENTY YEARS YOUNGER
To say that hundreds of maids, wives
and widows look twenty years younger
than they are i'll consequence OF the
complexional freshness derived from the
use of HAGAN's MAGNOLIA BALM, is
simply to state an absolute fact, which
might be promptly verified by direct
testimony if ladies were as willing to
tell their ages as to use the best means
of making themselves lovely. Nature
sometimes, but rarely, crowns the charm
of perfect features with complexion of
exquisite clearness; but even then time
soon begins to make inroads upon the
velvet cheeks, the fair white brow, the
ivory bust, the rounded arm. To pre-
serve the '.glory of woman unblemish-
ed. even aftet the meridian OF life has
been passed, it is only necessary to use
daily this cooling, healthful vegetable
preparation.

BOSTON AND CHICAGO.

The recent disastrous fire i'm Boston sug-
gests some interesting facts concerning the
recuperation of Chicago from the terrible
fire last year. 1t appears from the statis-
tics of the twelve months since the fire,
compared with those of the year 1870, that
the receipts of grain have been twenty
eight per cent. greater; that the wholesale
trade has advanced from $402, 200, 900 to
$3.50, O00,000 while the value of the manu-
featured products has increased more than
One-third. The rebuilding of the new
Chicago displays similar evidence of the
indomitable spirit of her people. Nearly
eight miles of permanent, magnificent
buildings have been erected at cost of
more than $40, 000, 900, betrayed mainly by
enterpising citizens who never lost conf
dence in the advancement of their city.
Not printing office was left by the fire in
all Chicago except a few job offices, and all
the leading newspaper establishments were
destroyed. Now the city is amply supplied
with presses all the principal journals
have revived, and are more prosperous
than ever.
There is no reason why the rebuilding
of Boston should not progress as rapidly.
1t was the richest city on the continent, all
things considered. 1t has business long
established and one in which il can not suf-
fer much from the temporary interruption
the fire will cause. 1t was the great center
of wooden and leather interests. 1t holds
this trade by reason of the immense CAPT.
tai of those interested in it and of its prox-
unity to the large factories worked in those
interests. All these things indicate that
Boston will recover even morerapidly than
Chicago. Its narrow, crooked and numer-
Gus streets will be changed, and the new
district be built on better and more cos
mopolitan plan.

FACTS FOR OUR OWN PEOPLE.

While the CHRONICLE is writing its
Facts About East Tennessee for the in
formation of persons in other States who
seem to be anxious to find homes in cur
midst, we find it also occasionally neces-
sary to publish facts about Tennessee and
Ahe South for the information of our own
people,
There is now nothing in the way of the
rapid growth of Tennessee but the preiu-
dices and hates that still rankIe in the
breast of some of her people. We may as
well call things by their right names.
There is no need of CLOSING over these
ugly drawbacks. They are the only things
now that keep back our State, and public
sentiment must drive them out. We have
idle lands, half cultivated farms, buried
treasures in our. barren hill-sides and
wealth enough undeveloped to make Ten
nessee more populous and prosperous than
Pennsylvania. What we need is more
people. We want to sound it daily
in the ears of our readers. We must have
more busy hands, warm hearts and well
filled purses. We can have all these if
we only break pown this miserable, eXelu-
sive, selfish spirit that claims for men to
the manor born peculiar and special rights.
1t is anti-American, anti Christian and alb
solutely heathenish. 1t is the Chinese
wall that effectually drives from our bor-
ders, that stream of immigration now
flowing ceaselessly to the great West and
building up on its cold and half-defence-
less plains, the powerful States that are
so soon to control the destinies of this
great nation. On this subject the Nation.
of New York, a paper that has ever been
fair towards the South, says what if APP
piled to the South generally, would be ex-
actly true:
They may rely upon it, there is some
thing wrong in their own policy, as long
as hundreds of thousands of newcomers
from Europe seek homes two thousand
miles away on the mi-barbarous Western
frontier, when they could have them al
most for the asking all along the Atlantic
seaboard, within a days journey of

OUR City Council met on Friday and
Notwithstanding their attention had been
directed to the fact that when our people
were destitute, helpless and on the verge
of starvation Boston sent us near hum
dred thousand dollars, not word was heard
in reference to the recent terrible confagra-
ton that swept away the finest portion of
that city. The Board had no time for that,
but did have time to legislate themselves a
further lease of power, and that, too, as we
believe, as far as some of them are con-
cerned, for the express purpose of disfran-
chising large number of tax payers who
are in the city during the holidays and who
are entitled to a voice in the government
of the city, but who do not politically agree
with the majority of the Council. We
should think the recent elections would
have taught scheming aspirants for the
Mayoralty and for Aldermanic honors that
such little shifts and schemes don't pay.

French and German and British steamers.
1t is not for nothing men thus plunge into
the heart of the continent. If the South
can find no means of attracting them be-
yond the publication of flaming adver-
tisements. if when they get strangers
down there they cannot make them so
happy and hopeful that they shall ask
their friends to follow, we do not know
what remedy there is for Southern ills.
