Our Mineral Wealth.

IRON FURNACE NEEDED IN ALEXANDRIA.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette. ]
MADISON RUN, ORANGE Co., Va, Dc. II.
The development of tho mineral resources Of
Virginia is hardly in its infancy. aud il is truly
unfortunate that The hidden wealth can not be
brought into light and utilized by cur own peo'
plc. Immediately under the car windows at
this plac, iron orc has been discovered 10 great
quantities. and in geological rock that OILY pro-
duces Gre of the best qualify. Several car loads
have been shipped to furnaces at Buffalo Gap,
70 miles from the mine, which produces SO per
can't of first c,ass iron. Why can not some
capitalist 10 Alexsudria follow the example OF
LYpohburg and build furuto, with capacity
Of Is tons per day, and catch this trade, which
is now being developed before it is Fl ,aly divert
cd. Alexandria is much nearer than Stanton
or Lyrchburg, and if these miners could Ind
furnaces 10 Alexsudris would savs immensely
on freights. Strange to say, those mines are 30
rich in ore that they have paid expenses Of
working from tie beginning. and good per-
eentage besides. The vein of ore runs parallel
with the Virginia Midland Railroad for miles.
and crops out on the adjacent bills. A large
force of hands Will be pus to work after the LIST
Of January, and We have no doubt that furs
naoes will be erected here if Alexandris does
not build them during the next year. The ore
now being shipped to Buffalo Gap will have to
b. transported, probably in iron bars, through
AIexsndr to othsr markets; and Alexandria's
hope, in Or opinion, is through the factory
door, OBSERVER.

The opponents of the educational bill that
passed The Senate last week don't ssem to un-
derstand tho rature of tho heavy burden
the education of the negroes of the South
imposes upon the white people Of that
section. Tie negroes constituted almost
the entire wealth of the Southern pco-
pie, for tho laid without them is conn
paratively valueless. aud yet they were not only
emapoipated without! compensation. sbus the
people who owned them and who Wero impov'
erished by their .uaLumisson arc compelled TO
submit to grievous t,xetioa in order to educate
them. Tn, Southern people have Dot only
borne this burden willingly, but have, as in the
oaso of Virgins. cheerluy assumed IL before
the prescribed time. AID Why ,heTo should be
