VIRGINIA Cry, Oct. 29.-Gen. Grant and
party descended the O shaft yesterday and Wig
tied the lower level of the bonanzas, under the

he made speech saying nothing he received
abroad gave him such pleasure as his reception.
True, his greeting was honest and hearty, but
it showed merely the esteem felt for our coun-
try by foreign nations. 1t would have been
quite different century ago. Now We are re-
earth. We have much that European nations
have not. We have q population which as
yet does not threaten to crowd any inhabited
district exhaust the productiveness
of the soil. We have an extensive
soil and immense undeveloped resources to ex-
haust, before our population will become 80
dense as to make the raising of sufficient pro-
ducts to live on serious problem. In this re.
spect we have great promise for tho future,
The fact of the matter is, we are more thought
of abroad than we think of ourselves, vet at
the same time we think considerable of our
selves, and we are in fact little conceited
over our advantages. Gaughter.) Newspa-
pers and politicians, however, think there are
good many bad people in the world, and that
things are on tho verge of ruin, but guess we
are all right. (Laughter.) Still we can be
improved. If was not an American would
not dare to talk like this for fear of being
mobbed. Naughter.) I thank you for this
kindly expression of your esteem.
