IMMIGRATION TO V1RG1N1A.-As has
already been announced, Hon. John w.
Johnston. United States Senator from
Virginia. delivered an address in Harris
burg, Pa, on Thursday evening, his sub
ject being the agricultural and mineral re-
sources of Virginia, and the advantages
presented by that State to those seeking
homes. Hon. Simon Cameron presided
over the meeting, and on taking the chair
said the war was over, and though he
thought the republican party was not
treated as we'll as it might have been by a
certain man, still he was there. That if
the honorable gentleman. who was Sen
ator of the United States, and democrat,
had come here when the republican party
was in the zenith of it's power he would
have been received just as warmly. He
then referred to the object of the present
visit of Senator Johnston, and introduced
him in a very cordial manner. Senator
Johnston then proceeded to describe the
advantages of the State he represents. it's
products and wealth in iron, lead, zinc and
other minerals, and it's inexhaustible ag-
ricultural resources. He spoke about two
hours, and, the Harrisburg Patriot says
convinced his hearers of the truth of his
arguments-using statistical statements
from the best authorities. He also showed
the immense losses sustained by the State
by the war. and that with equal energy
and capitol to develop her wealth, Virgin
la would be-as great and wealthy as her
sister State of Pennsylvania"

MIR. GEORGE SEAWRIGHT,--Mr. George
Seawright, candidate foY the Senate in
Augusta county is quoted in the ''Whig''
of Saturday, and MI. George Seawright
should be thankful to the ''Whig" for ex-
hibiting his dense ignorance. He says that
England ''readjusted'' by arbitrarily re-
ducing the rate of inserest on her bonds,
and there in he shows that he knows moth
ing about it. The fact is that England
gave notice that she would pay off, in cash.
all her bonds, or pay the holders in new
bonds at lower rate of interest. The hold
ers accepted the new bonds instead of the
cash. This is the Who'll matter, and Mr..
Seawright is almost fit to be senator,
since he seems to know nothing at all of
things on which he talks with the conf
dence of ignorance. If Virginia could Of
fer cash OF new bond at lower rate Of in
terest, she would not need the great expe-
rience, enlarged knowledge, and financial
skill Of MI. seawright to provide her u
means Of readjustmelt. AS it is, Mr.. Sea-
wright proposes to initiate England by a
cash payment, and leaves out the cash.

THE NEW CHAPLAIN OF THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES,. venerable
DR.. John Poisal, chaplain elect of the
House of Representatives, was once a shoe
maker in Martinsburg, W. Va, and stu
died theology while working on his bench.
He has passed his fiftieth year in the min
iStry of the Methodist Church, and is a
fine representative of the rugged, self-edu-
Gated and old-time circuit workers of that
denomination. He was formerly pastor
in New York and was connected for years
with the religious press. An interesting
story is related of the conversion OF Con-
gresham J. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia
by means of powerful sermon preached
several years since by Dr.. Poisal. Mr..
Tucker is said to have been an avowed
sceptic previous to hearing the eloquent
pleading of the old circuit rider, and in the
recent contest for the chaplain the aged
minister had no warmer advocate than the
noted Virginia representative. DR.. Poisal
is almost entirely blind. LIE is said to know
the Bible and Methodist hymn book almost
entirely by heart, his want of eye sight be-
ing compensated for by a wonderful mem
ory and studous habits. He is said to be
exceedingly sensitive about his defective
sight, and has performed remarkable feats
of memorizing to conceal tn. Y. Her.

their dirty work. They are hoping and

A severe storm of lightning, with heavy

there was some hail, as there may have

nov really arrived" DAVID HUME, the
profoundest of political economists, de-
clared that the madness exceeded the
madness of the crusades," and that it
would have been better to have been con-
quered by Prussia or Austria than to be
saddl with the interest of hundred and
forty millions. [HUME'S History of Eng
land, appendix. 3rd.l ADAM SMITH said,
in his Wealth of Nations, that ever so
small all increase of it might be fatal.
England attempted to lay d part OF the
load on her American colonies. and there
by brought on war which lost them. and
added another hundred millions to her
debt Again the country was despaired OF.
The tax on land was put at 81 in SIS -four
shillings in the pound). Then came quick
ly the wars which sprang from the French
Revolution, leaving her with a debt of
eight hundred millions And yet trade
fourished, the country improved. the in

''while shallow politicians were repeating
that the energies of the people We're borne
down by the weight of the public burdens
the first journey was performed by steam
On railway" And hear in comment what
the historian says
The inclination of society to pay debts
is proportional to the degree i'll which
that society respects the obligations Of
pllghted faith. OF the strength which con-
sists in extent of territory and in number OF
fighting men, a rude despot who knows no
law but his own childish fanc!es and head
| strong passions, OF a convention OF socl-
alists which proclaims all property to be
robbery, may have more than falls to the
lot of the best and wisest government.
But the strength which is derived from the
confidence Of capitalists, such a despot,
such a convention never can possess.
That strength-and it is strength which
has decided the event of more than one
great ct,-t1ies by the law of its ma
ture from barbarism and fraud, from ty.
ranny and anarchy, to follow civilization
