FL t..ass.... 81 :" flor the Dispatch.1
I have read with interest your many sug-
gestions, such as deepening the channel OF
James river and the necessity OF keeping our
main lines of railroad under the control OF
our own people. But there IS one thing Of
great importance to the prosperity of Rich
mond which you have not so much as moot
ed, and its is this: the necessity OF grain
elevator. How can you expect Richmond to
compete with Baltimore and other great
cities in handling grain from the West as it
pours into her from the West along the line
Of the Chesapeake aud Ohio railroad unless
you offer to business men and capitalists who
deal in grain the facilities Of an elevator!
W hat could Baltimore do with her immense
receipt of grain but for her elevator at 10
Gust Point? -.t 81 e.. -. !.
Your city is already suffering for the need
of an elevator. Bulk grain cannot be han
died profitably without an elevator, and all
grain shipped from the West is, as a general
thing, shipped in bulk. There are now and
will be large shipments of bulk grain over
the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-
road, aud no time should be lost in prepar-
ing to accommodate shippers. There Is no
reason why Richmond, with elevators,
should not handle as much grain Us Baltl-
more. You have your tunnel to James river,
aud lcw TO reap the benefit OF that enter
prise erect at once an elevator at its terminus,
50 That vessels can. come up and take on
cargo Of grain from your elevator and con-
vey it to any port in the United States or to
Europe. ..-l...
You have the shortest line to seaboard for
western grain yet, unless you have an ele-
yator, you cannot have shipments OF this
grain further than 10 supply local wants.
But erect au elevator, and you at opce estab.
Iish facilities for grain shipments that will
build up an untold amount of business
which is now diverted to other cities for
want of these facilities. - I.

A Scrap of History.

The following piece Of early history
of this country, is taken from page 2C
of Rev. DR.. S. j. NJ. Eaton's work
petroleum; A History of the Oil
Region" published by j. p. Skelly &
Co., 732 Chestnut St., Philadelphia:
at was in the fall of 1857, Mora
Wan Missionary, the Rev. Ziesberger,
accompanied by two Christian Indians,
as assistants, succeeded in penetrating
the wilderness and reaching a point on
the Allegheny near the mouth of Tio-
nesta Greek, and about 80 miles above
Franklin. This good brother appeared
among the red men of the forest, un-
armed, plainly dressed, and simple in
manners, with the one avowed object:
that of doing good. AT first the mis-.
sionary was regarded with suspicion,
but gradually won his way into the
favor of the people until chapel was
built, corn planted, and the work com.
menced. The place was called by the
Indians, Gorchgosking, or according
to another authority, Gosbgoshunk.
An Indian prophet named Wangomeir,
declaimed against the new religion;
like Demetrius of old, when Paul
preached against idolatry, he saw their
craft was in danger, so that no small
stir was excited. The prophet declared
that the great spirit was angry at the
innovation, and was blighting the corn,
and driving away the game, as pun.
ishment for their infdelity. The place
soon became too uncomfortable for the
good brethren, when they sought
new location for their mission up the
river at place called Lawunakhaw.
max, probably in the neighborhood of
Hickory Town. But the troubles that
began at the former point followed
them to the new location; the reli.
gious teachers and medicine men look.
ed upon the strangers as their rivals
jealousies were fermented, until, in the
month of April, 1770, the heroic little
band of missionaries were obliged to
break up their mission and with sor.
rowful hearts, launched their canoes,
and set out for more propitious field.
This mission appears to be the first
effort to plant the gospel in what is
now known as the Oil Region"

THE FINANCES.

lNpIANAPoLIs, December 11.-Hon.
W. d. Kellev's letter of Deer 9th to
t. &. Buchanan, Esq, Secretary of the
National Executive Committee of the
Independent party, will be published
in the Indianapolis Sun tomorrow. In
that latter w. d. Kelley says:
For the present owe a duty to the

subject. If the message of the Presi-

of the Treasury are to contain such
propositions as we are told they will

legal tender for all debts, public and
private, including duties on imports.
