States, or in. Europe, and the construction
must be stopped; that many workmen
would be discharged at once, and Others
soon after.
1t is not the intention pf the company Q
move the shops from Sacramento.

A GREETING TO ElRGIHIA FRoM Mont
BLASC.-A gentleman in this city has just
received the following letter from proml-

travelling in Europe:
"CuAAoUSI, FOOT OF MOST BLANC,
August %, 1873 )
Dear Coloncl, i have just seen in Il Swiss
newspaper our 9ubernatOrial and State
nominations. feel rs if ] ought to be with
YOU aiding in the contest, but this trip,
which have been arranging for years, pre-
vents me.
"Hcre in the heart of this great scenery
| am impressed by the wonders OF nature.
Before me stands Mont Blanc, its crest cor-
cred With eternal snow, its sides "sc!rred
and rock-ribbed" by the storms Of ten thou
sand winters, the granite and red sandstone
scanning its white slopes; a thick cloud
Shrouds its height far up, and the grand
spectacle is lost. in mist; but the sun shines
lh ough Il lift Of the cloud, and above and
beyonu all you see the eternal purity and
wltcncSs of tue mountain-top. So it Is
with Virginia now-her sides are scanned
aud marked and Scared by storm and tenn
pest, avalanche, and falling glacier Of war
and civil strife. Her rocky ribs show
bare. Clouds surround her middle height.
But the sun is shining on her pure summit
of honor and truth and public virtue. and
shows that, despite avalanche, despite
storm, above the clouds Nirginia's ancient
honor shines eternal. Every now and then
a portion of snow which has held on for
aces dctachcs itself and rushes down in ava
lanche, furrowing the sides and making a
sound of thunder. But the avalanche bursts
into ten million atoms and rushes to the
bottom, where it dissoives into water and
