Ex-Governor Vance, who was into rviewed in
New York the other day, admitted that, with
the exception of South Carolina and Mississippi,
the whole South is prospecting. ''Why," said
he, ''to give you some idea Of our prosperity,
in one county, would instance Charlotte, my
home, town Of about $4,000 population-we
have six banks there, and in them over 81, $780,
900, deposited by the farmers residing in the
surrounding country. upon which the banks
are paying out six per cent. interest. This is
more money than the farmers around Charlotte
have ever had before.''

The Virginia Campaign.

line congressional campaign has fairly COM
menced in Virginia. In the first district, Hon.
Jas. B. Sener is the Republican candidate for
reelection. He is opposed by Maj. B. B.
Douglas. the Conservative nominee. 1t is con-
close, with the chances in favor of Sener. Ger
tanly,if the people OF that district consult their
interest and that of the State, Mr.. Sener will be
reelected to position in which he has proven
himself eminently useful.
In the I'd district, Hon. James FL. Platte, jr.,
will be reelected without serious opposition
The elnbittered opposition he is encountering
from the Norfolk conservative press, will have
the effect to arouse his friends and make them
the more determined to vindicate his represen-
tative character. s..
In the Sd district, Gov. Gilbert G.. Walker is
the Conservative nominee. The Republicans
will hold a convention, to nominate a candi-
date, on the 10th. The gentlemen prominent
ly spoken of in that convention, are the present
incumbent. Hon. J. Amber Smith, Hon. L. Fl.
Chandler, Rush Burgess, Esq, and Maj. J. W..
Walker. Kemper carried the district by about
1000 majority. 1t is believed by their friends
that if either Smith or Chandler is the nolni-
nee, this vote can be easily overcome, and it is
claimed that Mr.. Burgess will be sufficiently
strong to carry the district.
In the 4th district, the contest for the Repub-
lican nomination is between Hon. W. III. Fl.
Stowell,the present incumbent and Hon. Cha's
Fl. Porter. Whichever is the choice, will no
doubt be elected.
In the 9Th district, Hon. C. Y. Thomas the
Republican representative, is opposed by Col.
Geo. G. Cabel. Mr.. Thomas friends claim
that he will be elected by a decided majority.
In the Winchester district, Hon. Eppa Hun
ton, present Conservative incumbent, is nomi-
mated for reelection. He is opposed by James
Barbour, Esq, Independent conservative. Mr..
Barbour is liberal in his political views, and one
of the first men intellectually in the State. He
will give Gen. Hunton close race.
In this, the 9TH district, Judge Harris con-
sentative, has been nominated for reelection.
Col. G. L. O'Ferrall is announced as an indie
pendent conservative. The Republicans have
as yet, taken no organized action.
In the Lexington district now represented
by Hon. Thomas Whitehead, j. Randolph
Tucker, Esq, has been nominated on the part
of the Conservatives. The Republicans have
not acted yet.
In the Abingdon district, Mr.. Bowen, the
present incumbent, has been, by material CON
sent, placed on the shelf, and very animated
contest is going on for the Conservative nom-
nation between Messrs. Fulkerson, Campbell,
Dunn and Terry. Gen. Terry is courteous
gentleman, and was the predecessor of Mr..
Bowen. If a conservative must be elected, we
hope he will be the man, although we are not
with his competitors.
From present indications, we think it quite
probable the Republicans will maintain their
strength in Congress from this State, by elect
ting five out of the nine
