The CHATHAM TRIBUNE is liberal
and generous enough to speak OF our
travelling correspondent, and The STATE
JOURNAL after the following fashion:
'AIr. D. S. Curtiss. the intelligent trav-
cling correspondent of THE STATE JOUR-
NAL, who has been in our village for sew
eral days, called upon us on yesterday;
This gentleman is making an active and
thorough canvass of the state for the pur-
pose of collecting the most prominent facts
IN regard to the past history of every coun-
ty. town and village that he can conve-
niently reach, their present material con-
dition and general advantages in all re-
spects, which are published in letter form
in his paper, and are really interesting and
valuable to the public and general reader.
We take this occasion to say that THE
STATE JOURNAL, though an organ OF the
Republican party, is ably edited and re-
markably liberal in its tone. The efforts
made through its columns to promote the
growth and prosperity Of Virginia is Ger
tainly commendable, and ought to meet in
that respect at least, with the cordial APP
proval of the Conservative party and press
of the whole state"

of bread which one Of the crowd had
thrown to him, rat, fancying ne saw

Of his trunk. The elephant made frantic

A Young man was before the police court
charged with disturbing the congregation OF

From our Travelling Correspondent
PITTSYLvANIA G. IT,,
May &c, 1873.
IT is interesting to see the long train of
covered wagons, and other country teams,
file into this thrifty little village, loaded
with tobacco and grain. from all parts OF
the county, there being no railroad station
nearer than about twenty miles; and still
this is large tobacco centre.
: But the people are hopeful and happy in
tx sure prospect of soon enjoying railroad
facilities. by the speedy completion OF the
Lynchburg and Danville railroad. On the
invitation of Major Ward, experimenting
engineer of this section, | took look over
n portion of the work, and learn from him
that the heavy cutting and nearly all the
grading is done, and the line will soon be
ready for the iron, and other equipments.
In view of these facts considerable inn
proyements, in the sale OF lots and erection
of new buildings, are seen in different
parts of the town.
The extensive tobacco manufacturing,
carried on here, has mostly sprung up III
the past two years, and is steadily on the
increase. Some of the largest yields, OF
best tobacco, ever known, has been raised
in this county.
Among the enterprsing firms, whose
factories / visited, was that of j. Ii. Col
lie & Co., industrious and reliable young
men. who have recently established the
business here. There are two other facto.
tories with shops for making boxes and
hogsheads all of which afford employ
ment, at fair wages, to many men, women
and children. -.
Much good tobacco is brought to this
place from Henry county, which is said to
be the best chewing tobacco raised any.
where. Good tobacco IS also wagoned
here from Franklin county; and when the
railroad is completed to this point 1t Will DC

There have been some good settlers tt
this county, recently, from other states anc
the Canadas, who seem well pleased and
there are still plenty of good farming lands
for sale at low prices.
This county enjoyed the good fortune
not to have been ravaged by the war, IKE
