THE FLouEISo MrLL.-AIessrs. Boiler
& Alnley yesterday made their arst pay
ment OF $1,000 on tho machinery for
their Touring mill ut this place. All
the arrangements for the construction
Of n first-clnss mill. with the most mp
proved machinery. have been perfected
with parties In San Francisco, and the
welcome whistle of tho steam engine,
which will furnish the motive power,
will be heard IN the land just prior to
the arrival Of the new crop. Some
doubt as to thg uccompiishmentIof this
important project sheen expressed by
few fossilized sIeptics, whose dis
tortsd fnncics and limited conception,
irrcsis.ibly imprlS them to alt upon the
shitt,tatl Of progress and holler whoa!
Why, objections have even been of.
fercd to the introduction OF o firc.cnginc
into the town, upon the grounds that, il
building took fire, the water mIuirted
upon it By fre-engine, would soil or
destroy tho furniture contained therein.
Such logical deductions are worthy OF
The gentleman who'd rather die with
smallpox than suffer the pain Of vac
'cination! u But, notwithstanding oil the
croaking, the mill will DO ready for ac-
ton i'll due timo, and though, through
the tilnidity Of tender.foots, the crop for,
this year may not prove large one, no
fears are entertained as 10 tic result
next year. So soon MS the beneficial re-
suits Of this enterprise, which will flow
to every part Of the county, becomes SO
appatenel Tint '.mS wnSfarius MAJ.
though fool, )" can not fail TO SEQ it;
then will it receive tho encouragement
that it deserves; and its projectors nrc
quite content to whit for TINT happy
awakening. Tho site chosen, for the
mill Is spot between the lumber yard
and the upper depot, on the south side
and close 10 the track. for the conven-
fence Of receiving mud shipping by

THE STATE DEBT.

The following is the communication present
cd to the Finance Committee of the Leglsla-
ture, alluded to ip the Gazette's Richmond let
ter of Saturday last:
"Hon. w. w. Crump, Chairman Finance Com
mittee, House Of Delegates:
''SIR-ln compliance with your request the
following condensed statement of the financial
advantages of the plan now before you is SUBJ
mitted. The term of three years is taken, and
the debt is divided into consolidated or tax
receivable and non consolidated. The non.
consolidated debt amounts to Sl0,000,000, and
tho interest, at six per cent (curreDcy,) $780,
600. Interest on new bonds (gold) $500 900 ;
premium on gold Fifteen per cent, y $45 900;
total, s345, ,O00-leaving saved to the State
$255,0O0.
Consolidated debt, s2o,oOO,OOO. Interest at
per cent. (currency,) sl,2O0,OOO. Interest
on her bonds at 41 per cent. tgold,) S9O0,O00
premium Gu gold Is per cent, sl35 900; total,
Sl,035, 5,0O0-eaViug saved to treasury, $685.
900. Annual saving on both debts, $42O, 900.
THE interest on new bonds to be offered for
consols is put at Il per cent. The London
holders OF these securities now realize 44 (gold.
The higher rate of interest would insure ex.
change-especially as the new bonds would in a
few years carry 5 per cent. interest. Besides,
the consol or tax-receivable boud is not, from
its conditions, favorite security 10 the Lon
don market. The new bonds, if they Inspired
confidence ln prompt payment of interest,
would have more value and insure the conver-
sion Of all consos not directly held by State
tax payers. Gold is here estimated at $l.l5-
higher than the present rate. Any diminu-
tiou would benefit the State Treasury. The
best hnanciers concur 10 opinion that the laws
OF commerce must constantly tend to reduce the
premium on gold. Some high authorities
hold that before three years the rate will be
nearer $l.05 than $l.l5. Of COURSE it may
be urged that natural laws might be interfered
with by nnwisc Federal legislation, war, &c.;
out human wisdom can only deal with reason
able probabilities. The great and Immediate
noanclal advantage the State and all her citi.
zens would derive from a restoration of hel
credit Is too obvious to dwell Oh. But all this
Is subordinate to the question of the form and
character OF the new bonds.
Holders OF consols cannot be induced tc
exchange Tor new securities which do not bea,
assurance of prompt payment, and the NON.
oonsol class would not surrender per cent
bonds for similar ones of much less interest
These points were discussed 10 London, and
the opinion was hazarded that Virginia might
be willing to hedge the new bonds with such
guarantees as were In accord with her OWL
laws administered by her own courts It was
not tor moment supposed she would consen
to refer questions between her creditors anc
herself to any tribunal but her own.
Your obedient servant,
"R. TAYLOR"
