THE VALLEY AS A PLACE FOR NORTH
ERN EMIGRATIoN.-The N. Y. ''Even-
ing Post" has very kind article, full of
correct information, recommending Vir-
ginia as point for emigration. In describ-
ing our own locality it says:
The part of the state, however, which
offers the greatest attractions to a north
ern or foreign settler is the valley be-
ginning with the Shenandoah valley and
then continuing on toward the southwest,
between the Allee hanies and the Blue
Ridge. Here is a region, including some
five million acres of land, much OF 1t
very good, some of it more than one thou
sand feet above the sea, where wheat Is
raised often to the amount of twenty-five
bushels to the acre, under a cool and heal
thv climate, and with scenery like that
of Pennsylvania or New York. The
population Lave not felt the curses Of
slavery as much as other parts OF the
state. They have been accustomed to la
Dor, and to economy. They are of strong
Scotch Irish OF German stock, and of strict
religious and moral habits and faith. Ma
laria is scarcely known; the winters are
mild, though frosts come early; and the
physique of the people is one of the best in
the Union. The Valley is reported to be
50 healthy that the legislature has chosen
Staunton as the seat of many of its chart
table institutions, while many private
schools and seminarios have been founded
there. The best crops are wheat, corn
rye, barley and potatoes, with hay and to.
bacco. Excellent stock is raised there
Farmers have received as high as 81 As a

are only about seven hours from tide-wa
