SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1878.

Mr.. Creswell, the Postmaster General, made
speech at Radical meeting in Baltimore last
night In the course Of this speech he gave
his views upon two Of his projects-the postal
savings banks and the postal telegraph. lie
argued that the former would supply the only
deficiency in the national banking system, by
protecting the interests Of the depositors equal
" with those of the holders Of the notes, aud
that the money deposited in them would be
converted at Washington into loans and flow
out again into the country, and be always IN
circulation to check financial panics Further
than this, it could always be used by the Gov
ernmeut for the support OF postal telegraphs.
These two measures he believed it to be the
duty of the Republican party to carry out, anu
he was confident of their ultimate success.

1t is not true, az most people suppose, that
Virginia can not be developed without the in
HuX oil lai ~ capita and rush Of lmmi grauts
True, iu such large enterprises as the mining
OF our vast deposits Of iron aud other
minerals, mere capital than we have is
Necessity. So vi some OF the larger manu-
featuring inter, SITS Bat much may bc done
by our own p,upe-by poor pcoulc-by
our OWE farmers aud mechanics. 1t may
be slowcr-t will bc-but it will be >urcr when
these various enterprises are built from the
ground UP.
We saw lately, III Buckingham county. work
Of this sort. We saw several wagolS irci ghtcd
with hoops made of the snail oak aud hickory
Saplings which. are abundant Oh the poor ridge
lands Ito our knowlrdgcJ Of Buckingham, Al
pomaltOx, Amherst aud Nelson; lands value
less except Tor timber or Tor minerals worth
about fifty cents to one dollar per acre. We
could not gain from the drivers great
deal of Information, but gathered sufficient
facts to satisfy Us that there was much
clear money III the business, II properly man
aged on u proper location. We ascertalned
that there was demand tnr all that could be
made, aud al prices paying good proht. Ihls
business requires little skill or capital, only
cucrgy and economy. It takes nothng-not
even land-irOm the other interests OF the sec
ton; and the profit 10 nearly all cases goes to
improving aud adorning an otherwise neglected
section.
Wooden uais or pins ia large numhers can
be obtained from many OF these sections, eS-
pccially from our ridge country; aud we are as
surcd by those who have tried it, that it pays.
Proper industry III the >tavc and shlugc bust
ness would develop aud build up much Of our
waste and unproductlyc land.
Our farmers might Increase their profits and
bring a great quantity Of money into the coun-
try By giving attention to fruit. Let the care
and marketing OF fruit receive proper attention
and nine farmers out Of ten will clear their
taxes from the sale of fruit. II our people
would eau fruits and vegetables, aud sell the
surplus, the State would retain large sum Of
money Small manufactures keep money in
the country at hour. Brooms aud baskets
send much money To Now England, although
willow, white oak, and hruoln-corn are abund-
ant here. Sunac and s;,a>airas have benefited
many sections vi this State.
Let every man determine to do what he can
towards aiding to the productions OF the State,
and retaining in it all he can and we will move
forward. aud neat cottages and white pallugs
will begin to dot the broad fields. As the poo
pie yet thicker, the roads will get better, and
the crops will be Increased, schools, &c, kept
up; aud all these We can do OF ourselves. -

The PHYSIOLOGY OF POSITIoN pres
ervatlon OF an erect attitude OF the body 10
walking or sitting is a matter OF more essential
moment to the maintenance OF the health than
Is popularity supposed, else how are We to ac-
count for the general disregard of such a fact,
as shown in the bent forms We are constantly
cncounterlng on the street, or among seated
crowds. The most obvious physical evils are
those arising from the curvature of the spine,
productive az it is of general nervous derange-
ment and serious impairment of the vital func-
tons, whilst the unnatural and continuous pres
sure OF the delicate lung tissue against the ribs
and carriages occasion serious pulmonary dis
orders. Hence, the care that should be eycr.
cised In the matter OF having backed seats in
schools in walking and sitting erect, so that
the vertebral column should be kept in Il nor
NAL position, and the thoratlc vlsccra preserved
from undue prcssures. We would here add
that the most numerous cases of DETECTION Of
the spinal column arise from the excessive
bending of females over the sewing machine,
On account of their placing both feet on the
treadle whereas, it they use but one foot, they
can sit close to the machine, and work 1t easily,
whilst preserving perfectly natural, erect con-
dition of the body.-Bat. amer.

\ New SUGAR PRoDUCTloN.- An invention
which threatens if successful, to Interfere
greatly with commerce, and a great southern
production, is reported from Paris. This new
discovery is method Of making sugar by unit
ing into compound its constituent atoms of
carton. hydrogen, and oxygen. The Inventor,
NJ. Jouglct, says that the cost Of production
will be fifty cents per cwt., aud he has already
- far succeeded in establishing the utility Of
his invention that a company Of manufacturers
have been persuaded to purchase it from him
for the comparatively moderate sum OF >24O, 900.
What the sugar planters and rctncrs will do
if this discovery turns out to be as important as
it promises remains to be seen; but there is no
doubt that if it is only partially successful
strange developments may be expected. The
Invention is said to be very simple and one
easily explained, and endless quantities OF sac
charine substance can, it is claimed, be manu-
featured by this new process III so short time
