THE iron and coal fields of Virginia are
attracting great attention from capitalists in
the North and West at this time. Scarcely
day passes that General lmboden, and
other gentlemen known to possess nlor-
nation on the subject, do not receive let
tiers Of inquiry in regard to the unlimited
supplies of coal, iron, and limestone in the
Old Dominion. All that is needed to make
our State one of the richest and most pro-
ductive in the Union, is the capital and
energy that are now looking here for
successful investment. 1t is not that We
lack energy among ourselves, for we have
never met moro energetic men than are
now pushing forward the manufacturing
industries of Richmond but we lack CAPT
tai, and that must bring an accession o
energy with it when it comes. But thu
more of a good thing the. better. Let the
energy come. .. ..,

The luxury of a fresh sea-water

The luxury of a fresh sea-water
bath, without the expense and fatigue
of jo%urneying to the coast to obtain
it, it will soon be obtainable in the
capital of England. We see by the
London papers that there is a bill
now before the House of Commons,
virtually unopposed, which will en-
power a company to bring the water
pumped from the ocean at Brighton,
distant AZ miles south of London, by
a series of g lifts to the summit of
the South Downs, whence it will
gravitate through enamelled pipes,
along the turnpike road, to the west
end of London, where a constant
supply, at the rate of half a mil
lion gallons per day, will be de-
livered. The moderate ppices to
which the company Will be restrict
ed. and the great sanitary benefits to
be realized by the introduction of
sea water into London. cannot fail to
make such an enterprise both popu-
lar and profitable.

DIFFERENT VIEWS.

1t cannot be expected in a matter
of such Importance as the selection
of a chief magistrate of a great nation
that men will all be of one mind, and
at this time particularly, we are not
surprised to find a great variety OF
sentiments in those composing the
great political parties. Each lndlvl-
dual member of each party has fright
to express his opinions, and enforce
them bv reasonable arguments II he
can. but he ought not, and II be I'M
derstands human nature. will not cen
sure every other mans actions, and
charge upon him a design to defeat
the party to which he belongs If he
cannot prevail upon it TO adopt his
particular views. The fact that men
differ on all subjects, and especially
upon the science of government. may
be an essential element to purify par
ties. and bring about reforms. This
seems to have been the history of our
Government in the past, and the IN
au~guration of the present liberal
movement would indicate that a re-
form is necessary, and that 1t is likely
to be effected because the honest por
ton of the party in power has enter
tanned. and from time to time eX-
pressed a difference OF opinion on the
policies adopted by the admlnistra
ton for which If has been %censured,
and the leaders have been ~ostraclZed.
It has been said, and We are not dis
posed to deny the truth of the state
ment, that parties long victorious,
become corrupt, and hence the neces-
sity for honest men to abandon what
they have not the power otherwise to
prevent. In this the publication OF
parties differs somewhat from the
order of nature, where the impure,
bv fermentation is brought to the
surface and thrown off. or in the AM
NAL economy, the diseased portions
slough, leaving the remainder to re
form by healthy action the normal
condition.

WADSwORTH. Nav 22-This morn

WADswoRTH. May 22.-This morn
ing a freight train from the east, Of
thirty five cars and two engines,
came down the grade into the town
divided into three sections. having
first broken in two at the top of the
grade a mile from town. The rear
section soon broke in two again,
leaving ten a in the middle with
out a brakeman. These came down
the steep grade at a fearful rate, and
the engineers with the advanced por-
ton were trying to keep ont of the
way. meantime whiStling an alarm
for the two engines which were on
the track waiting for the train to get
out of the way. Before they could
get sufficient Roadway the broken
train was upon them. Sixteen airs
were smashed up and four engines
injured, but nobody was seriously
hurt.

SENSATIONAL NEWSPAPERS.

There is absolutely no reason why
a newspaper should transgress the
rules of Christian decorum and de-
cency. The Excuses commonly made
for the publication of shameful and
disgusting details of obscene crime,
or other matter offensive either tC
good taste or good morals, land vio-
lation of the O1e is not necessarily a
violation of the other are utterly
lame and impotent. There is no rea-
son why a newspaper should not be
as Tree from impuritv or indecency
as the daily conversation of a refined
Christian family. The newspaper
should be a publication which a
father might place in the hands of
his daughter, or a brother in those
of his sister-in short. which should
enter any household without the ne
cessitv of preliminary examination.
The plea that it must be mirror
of all things going on in the world
things base, vile, and disgusting, as
we'll as things pure and honorable
is the shallow sophistry of a prurient
inclination. 1t will not bear exam
nation, as it would not bear being
carried out to its full extent, even in
the eyes of those who urge it. 1t is
no answer to say that newspapers in
general fall far below the standard
we have indicated. 1t Is too true
that they do, but this proves only
that their actual standard is debased.
That it is so is (partly, at least the
fault of tue public hat tolerate it.
