FIRGINIAs MATERIAL PRoGREsS-It is about
time for Virginia to give up talking about the
state OF things "before the war; Charles
Dickens, and every other traveller who visited
the state before the war, testified that every
thing was going to rack and ruin. Dickens
especially noted the "decayed appearance OF
ante-bellum Richmond, and it is certain that
the state capital is now twice as large and ten
times as beautiful and prosperous as it ever was
8 before the war" It is since the war that Nor
folk has made giant strides, and becomes the
war that DanVflle has risen from city OF two
thousand to nearly twelve thousand inhab-
ltants 1t Is also since the war that Lynchburg
tafmvllle, Staunton, and many other towns
have increased their trade and multiplied their
inhabitants. Doubtless The landed aristocracy
were better Off ''befOre the war; but all other
classes, Including the small farmers. have no
reason for grumbling at the changed condition
