Editors Dispatch: There seems to be a
decided locking up in business circles in
this grass section OF the old State. The coal
interests near Martins Station, combined
with the zinc furnaces in full blast, make
things look lively. / saw a specimen OF the
new zinc the other day, and it presents a
creditable showing. 1t is an infant enter
prise. Just out Of the cradle, but has the life
and energy OF Young giant. The iron fur
naces in this county and Wythe will soon
be at work and stir things up generally.
Cattle are doing pretty well. though the eX-
ceedingly mild and even sutry winter has
not been So favorable 10 them; they need
cold, crisp weather, 10 make them eat their
bay with relish. We all admire the bold.
ness OF the Dispatch in denouncing the out
rageous course Of our Roadjusting Legisla-
ture. A good deal OF northern capital is
seeking investment in our mineral lands,
aud our people are encouraged to hope for
better times. IL Is astonishing how invalu.

MONAsKoN, Va, February 20. 1880.
Editors Dispatch : We have several fish
factories, which produce the well-knOwn
fertilizer called "Chum ~; several large
saw.mils, which do an extensive trade in
lumber, besides oyster-packng houses and
furniture factory. Principal in the agri-
cultural line is the enormous seed-farm Of
Messrs. David Landreth II Sons, Of Phila-
delphia. who annually cultivate hundreds
OF acres in all kinds of garden seeds. They
have six extensive barns on their premises
in this vicinity, and sometimes employ as
many as one hundred and fifty hands ut a
time. The Republicans are iubilant over
the idea OF having three electoral tickets in
the field, hoping in that event to elect their
ticket. They do not seem to realize the
difference between State and national issues,
and that the Readiusters, in the latter case,
are still Democrats and will undoubtedly
stand by the Democratic nominees. Gene
raj Malone Is just the reverse OF the cele-
brated Roman General who ''threw him.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispa'ch.I

fCorreepondence of the Richmond Dispa'ch.J
ANGOLA, February 2S. 1880.
It wouldn't do for your reporter to fail
TO pick up all the items which will interest
the readers OF the Dispatch. Let me tell
YOU TIE last, which comes floating over from
Farmvile.
The latest on dit is that B. s. Hooper, oil
Prince Edward, has been put In training
for Congressman Jorgensen's place. Well,
he Is q strong man, and is representative
man, too, of the Rtadiuster. Republican
wing OF the Radical party. The pockets OF
bis unmentionables are plelboric with
Prince Edward and Cumberland African
felow-citizens; and he is one thing, first,
last, and all the time-an uDadUlterated Re-
publican. He Is not a Conservative to-day
and Republican tomorrow. He is the
best OF the breed OF Radicals. He amt
afraid Of Senator Malone. 4. r. 7. (Elimi-
nator Readjuster Tycoon). and can think
for himself without asking the permission
of the Great MoguI. Conservatives won't
vote for him. But let him have his full
merits.
What those distinguished statesmen and
staIwarts Bliss and Dungee think OF it has not
transpired. As Cumberland voter proba-
bly, never saw Greensville sufragap, II
may be that Arnold, Hamilton. Davis, and
other burning and shining lights, may kick
up. big man at Turkey-Cock church, in
Cumberland, may not be able TO carry
Brunswick, but Jorgensen and Hooper will
contest the field with all who may enter The
lists. Wire pullers are "fXing things" for
the canvass.
We hear that our respected cOunfyman
Judge Perkins will he reelected. Well, II
a Iayman is eligible, Judge Perkins will be
acceptable. He j. Il gentleman lit won't hurt
him now TO let that be known and has in
telIlgence enough TO "see the right" and
pluck enough TO maintain the right. He
will be fair and impartial. There is nothing
PHI" low flung" about him. Let us he thank
full for this. LiNGDALH.

ADDISON COUNTY NOTES.-The certificates
of town and county votes received at the
office of the county clerk show that in large
number of towns in Addison county the ticket
has been scratched, especially the names Of
Henry n. Sollace of Bridport, for assistant
county judge, and Edward 5. Dana of New
Haven, for county Senator. In Monkton
Gen. S. F. Atwood was accused of stutling
the ballot-box with fraudulent votes for
Representative, and he was instantly seized
by the Indignant voters aI.J carried out of
the town house. In Panton DIR. Norman j.
Tousley, the Oldest physician in that tow n,
ran against young farmer named VIM.
White for the Office of town Representative.
The excitement ran high and the contest was
very close. A gentleman interested in the
young farmer drove his carriage several miles
after one of his neighbors named Converse,
who was a voter, but had been paralyzed SO
helplessly as TO be unable to even speak.
He participated in the excitement, however,
and was carried TO the polls where he insist
ed on casting his vote contrary to the expecta-
ton of the man who brought him to the
polls and in favor of DIR. Tousley, and this
one vote decided the election in favor of
Tousley.
