CLIMATE.

Ii is not our purpose Ia consider the
cause OF the slow developments OF the
Nirginians. What We wish to point
ont is that the cause is not either bad
climate, or want of agricultural and
mineral resources.
The climate is no more severe either
in winter or summer than that oi Penn
syivania; the range from the higher L"
lower temperature Of the year varying
in different localities i'll Virginia from
ri" Ia l0S'. The highest recorded tenn
pcraturc varies from 90 10 lOl', and the
lowest from II Ia 80. In West Virginia
the range OF temperature is greater
according to published records, varying
from gSo To I25', the highest temper
allure recorded being l0i', and the law
est go. In Pennsylvania the range
varies from $50 To l26', the
Of 1869 and 20 having been recorded

RAILROADS.

From the American Manufacturer aud Iron
World
RAILROADS.
A casual glance at railroad map OF
the United States will show that while
the whole country north OF the Ohio and
east ii the MissOuri--witht the exception
OF some inhCspitable regions Of the eX-
tremc nOTth-ls covered with beWildcr-
Ing network Of railroads, and the greater
part Of the south Is comparatively well
supplied with them, there Is one large
section, including portions Of the statcsof
Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky,
in which II railroad is almost unknown.
In the quadrangle bounded by the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad on the north, by
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad on the
south, by branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio from Iiarpers's Ferry Ia Stanton,
Va, on the east, and by the Ohio river
from Parkersburg Ia Huntington on the
west, there is not "a single railroad except
a few unimpOrtant branches. South al
the chesapeake and Ohio railroad To the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
and the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio
railroads, from Lynchburg, Va, to
Knoxville, Tenn, there also il no rail
road except small branches. 4 traveller
might 90 from Charlotte, Va, to Knox
Vile, distance OF 900 miles, without
crossing single railroad.
The absence OF railroads is Of course
evidence Of sparseness Of population.
While the western portion al the COun-
try has been dcnsely settled as lar west
~ the eastern portions Uf Nebraska ani
Kansas, and Il tide of immigration is
pouring into Texas and Arkansas, West
Virginia and kentucky have remained
almost a terra mcoJ"ita.

MINERAL RESOURCES.

That the mineral resources at Virginia
and Vest Virginia are Of the most won
derinl character, in extent, variety and
quality, is we'll known fact. Coal
ahounds in several parts OF both states.
Mr.. Brockett speaking oi the virginia
coal saws: In the southwest II Is btu

in the Richmond and other middle Nlr-
rinia coal fields bituminous an excel

carbonite or natural coke OF good qua
litv." Of the West Virginia coal he
saws: The Appalachian coai-he"
covers 5000 square miles IN the state
The river bottoms generally are diiuvai
or alluvial. but high up the steep eiitis
and canons which line their banks, the
coal in bands al from to 10 teet IN
thickness crops out. This Appalachian
coal-feld forms an immense BASIN, oil
which West Virginia comprises more
than half the breadth, and Ohio amt
eastern Kentucky about two titths: In
this basin and within tine limits Of West
Virginia are found every one oi the coal
deposits except anthracite. Among
these are found every quality oil camel,

The soil in Virginia and West Virginia
il on an average probably more fertile
than any OF the eastern or middle states.
II, Of course, varies with location. Mr.
l.. l.. BrOrkctt saws Of Virginia: 'Thc
soils uf the first or alluvial bottoms Is ot
perpetual fertility. The Scsnnd bot
toms are nf excellent quality, yielding
large crops, but are improved 10y the use
ni marls or other fertilizers where they
have been long cultivated. The slope,
on third terrace, running back (" the
watershed or head uf tide water, Is
thinner and less fertile, but II can he
made ycIy productive by the use OF tn"
marls and shells which are close at
hand. Middle Virginia has much good
and fertile land, but muUh very poor
and sterile. The greater part al the
soils oi the Valley oi Virginia are very
rich and productive. This has been
called the garden of America etc.
The same writer, treating ot West \r-
piuia. mentions Il variety of soils IN
that state. some productive amt some
sterile. The stream AMI upland aIlu-
viumS, he SAYS. found III the river bot
toms and in the valleys, and on the
yrntlrr slopes uf the mountains, possess
wonderful fertility and yield immense
crops, or where they are covered with
forests, the most gigantic trees. over
1900 OO0 acres III land i'll the state are
i'm the original forest.
