deal of attention because of the immense

These industries in our immediate yicini-

Markets..

The markets this week show decded advance

ern quotations. The condition of the market is
very steady.with apparently no speculative inf1u-
ences operating. In this market, yesterday, ex-
| ira flour was quoted at % to 80 from the wag-
ons, and wheat at s. to A. and one lot bringing
45. There has been no great stir in transactions
but steady demand, with limited offerings In
Baltimore VIII eat was quoted at from 80 to co.
February deliveries 80 to l 81. In Richmond
l so to IS. The Baltimore American, of the 25tb
in its editorial columns says
The failure of the harvest in England this year
appears to have been much more disastrous than
even the first estimates indicated. AS the thresh-
ing OF the grain has progressed the deficiency has
become more evident, and it is now stated that
the average yield will not be above l8 bushels to
the acre, or 81 bushels below the average of the
last fourteen years. During the same period the
home production has been equal to about half of
the yearly consumption; but this year, in order to
meet the demand, about three times as much
grown at home. The London Times places the
consumption for the year ending August 3lst
1880. at 24,OOc00O quarters, Of which amount Eng
land will supply ohe-fourth. These figures are
not calculated to shake public faith in the future
OF American agriculture.
In the staunton market corn was quoted yester-
day at As to As; oats, "a to So; bacon hog round
to 81. Hay to 80 cents per 100 lbs or SIS to l6

Young Blood in Politics.

The essay read before the Society on last
Saturday night by Mr.. A. G. Gordon, and pub
lished elsewhere, will be found interesting
and replete with suggestive thought. We
publish it in full, not only on account of its
merit as composition, but for the reason
that it treats ola subject in which every
man in Virginia and the South, and especial
ly every young man, is deeply interested.
and presents an intelligent, impartial and,
in the main, accurate view of the positions
we occupy as sections to day. The differ
ence between the North and the South, upon
this sectional issue, is simply this: The
North can afford to con- inue it for the rea-
son that it supplies the cement to unite its
jarring factions, and perpetuate its reign,
whilst to the South it will bring material
disaster and political death.

Ireland is in s'chronic state of insnrrec-
tion.'' The condition of that unfortunate
country is a scandal to England. No won
der that foreign nations reflect with pain on
that cruel enactment. the result OF which is
to Insult. oppress and exterminate the Irish
people and drive them from their lands. to
which they are passionately attached No
wonder that it is said that If Russia has her
Poland, England has her Ireland.
Not long since England had the great
body Of her army recruited FROM Ireland;
but now il is said that she cannot get SOL
der there. Why? Because the Irish are
smartirg under a sense Of wrong, and it is
a remarkable fact that wherever there are
Irishmen in any part of the world, they are
ready to join the enemies of England.
Nothing but the conviction that their coun-
try has suffered fearfully at the hands of
England could have produced this feeling.
It is notorious that if war occ urred to-
morrow between England and the United
States. two hundred thousand Irishmen
would fly with delight TO the standard CT the
Republic.
England stands on dangerous ground. Ii
she has sense on her side, if she Is anxious
to hold her place as one Of the most eniight-
ened nations of Europe, she will act in a
spirit Of kindness and liberalty to that
Irish people which is admittedly misgov-
erned and ruled by cruel landocracy, sus-
tanned in their evil doing by acts of Parlia-
ment which deprive noble people of even
the sembance of freedom.
Intelligence from Ireland to the 24th OF
thus month indicates a heated state of the
popular mind and prospects of alarming
trouble. The British government has caused
the arrest of three leaders of the Irish peo-
pie, Messers. Davitt, Killen and DAILY, and
indignation meetings are being held, not
only in Ireland. but in various parts of Eng
land to protest against the tyranny OF the Bea-
confield's cabinet, VIII CHI is seeki ng to stifie
the voice Of the people by arms. The Irish
constabulary are in arms and several reg-
ments of British troops have been ordered
to sail for the unhappy sister Isle. No one
can foretell what will be the end, but we in
America can afford to look on patiently, as
did the British during our internecIne trou-
bles. For us this state of affairs has this
much interest, beyond the natural sympa.
thy we must ever feel in suffering and in
the struggles of kindred race for life and
liberty; chat it is sure to increase the tide

class of foreigners ''pitch their tents" in

islation, which is esteemed to be hostile to
its existence. to say nothing OF the princi-
pies, embedded in it, which are at war with
the rights of property; and second, by a
spirit of kindred birth. which threatens. if
unrestrained, to undermine the foundations
of public faith, and to bring it, as we'll as
confidence in private integrity and honor,
down into common ruin. As before sug-
gested, we shrink from the thought, much
more from the belief, that the intelligent
leaders OF any party or section Of party,
in Virginia, contemplate or intend such
disastrous results; but let them, if they be
patriots, pause; and beware, lest the swollen
tide of popular passion and prejudice,
which they have turned loose. become too
strong for their control, and lest it sweep
all on, when resistance is too late. to the
cataract of irretrieyable calamity, and pre-
cipitate the most precious interests OF the
State We so tenderly love and reverence,
into utter wreck.
Let lis then, as Virginians, by whatever
name we be known, unite in earnest effort
to re-assure the mind of the country, and to
restore its confidence in the honor and good
faith of the old Commonwealth. Let the
General Assembly, as soon as it meets, aau-
thoritively make known TO, and assure the
world, which is watching us with the in
tensest interest, that however we may differ
as to means, our ends and aims are the
same, the settlement and payment of the
public debt upon terms acceptable to Vir-
ginia's creditors, and the preservation, lat all
hazards, of the good name of the State, as
the most precious legacy to our children.
Let this assurance be given, and thereby,
let the ancient confidence in Virginia. as
Queen among States-sans penr ct sans re
proche-be restored, and with it will come
not only the means with which to complete
our own great Improvement, but a generous
inflow of capital, wealth and population,
which will soon make the public debt a
burden lighter than feathers weight,
for prosperous Commonwealth to carry.

Virginia Ores.

Mr.. W. P. Shinn, formerly general man
ager of the Edgar Thomas Steel Works,
Pittsburg, and now manager Of the Vulcan
Iron Works, St. Louis, addressed the peopse
of Pittsburg at farewell dinner given In
his honor. recently. In abiding to the disad-
vantages of Pittsburg, in the manufacture
of iron, he mentioned that some of the ores
were brought from the Lakes and some from
Spain, while within few hundred miles, in
the State OF West Virginia, abundance of
ores exist, of the best quality aud equally
we'll adapted to the demands of the Pitts
burg industries. Indeed, the american
Aanwf acturer reports him IS saying that
the Virginia ores are of quality that can
not be had from either Spain or Lake Su.
perior, and that paper says his words are
certainly justified by several analyses made
by the chemist of the Edgar Thomas Steel
Company OF the ores of New River and
vicinity.
The means that Pittsburg is urged to
adopt to secure connection with the ores of
West Virginia is the Plttsburg Southern
Road, now constructed for twenty-five or
thirty miles, and looking 80 a connection
with the Chesapeake and Ohio road in the
vicinity OF the White Sulphur Springs. 1t
would traverse very rich iron and coal
sectian of West Virginia, and bring Pitts
burg within 200 or 250 lies of as fine
ores as there are in the country.
There is, however, much more availa Bile
iron field that could be more speedily opened
up for the Pittsburg demand. We allude to
the immense deposits OF ore in the northern
portion Of Aug usta county, almost imnedi-
ately on the line of the Valley road south Of
Staunton. The completion Of eighteen miles
of railroad, much of the bed of which is al
ready graded, would bring Pttsburg in d.
rect communication with as rich veins, or
mountains of hematites,a AS were ever mined,
which could be shipped upon equally as IA
vorabie terms as from atsy portion of West
Virginia. 1t would be well enough for the
authorities of the Valley Railroad to draw
the attention of the Pittsburg dealers to
this section, and see whether the trade that
would be created, would not justify the i'm
mediate completion of the road to Midway
in this county. There are five or six iron
properties in that vicinity, and contiguous
to the located line, and with transportation
facilities, ores could be furnished from them
as cheap as they could be gotten elsewhere,
and certainly cheaper than from either the
Lakes or Spain, and, as Mr.. Shinn says, of
equally as good a quality.
The Virginia ores are just beginning to at
tract attention and stimulate inquiry. The
partial notice that has been given them has
revealed the fact, that they compare favora.
bly, with the best of other sections. and can
scon be made equally as accessible. Along
the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio Road
direct transportation is furnished, and large
orders from Pennsylvania have been filled.
We may soon expect active efforts to reach
and utilize the iron deposits of the Upper
Valley, ii the management Of that corpo-
ration is alive 10 the interests Of the road
and the section of country through which
the line has been located.
