ITS ATTRACTI0NS-THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE
COURT OF APPEALS-OUR TICKET.
CORRESPONDENCE Of the Richmond Dispatch
AUGUST 10, 1881.
To a person coming from Eastern Vr-
einia 10 this mountain town there is great
deal 10 interest and entertain. Here nature
seems 10 Law herself out to appear to the
best advantage; and it is here that all who
have once seen the lOvelDcsS OF the place
are willing to stop, and to Yield to Wytbe-
vile the palm for the beauty OF Its scenery,
not TO speak OF that OF its girls, whose
charms there is no need, as there Is not
space enough in this letter 10 recommend.
As objects of special interest to the sight
seer, IT is only necessary TO mention the
"Chimney Rocks" and the newly-discOyer-
ed " Crockett's Cave" near this place.
1t is a fact well known to many OF your
readers that Wythe county was cut from
Montgomery about the year 1870, and was
called after the great chancellor OF that
name. This place, which Is the county
seat, is situated upon spur OF the Ale
ChanIes, and glOries in being 1900 feet
above the sea-leYel. The last census showed
a population OF . 800 inhabitants; aud it Is
claimed by many, that in the proXimate
future that number VIII he locked BACK 10
with pride only TO show how great has been
the rapid growth of this flOurishng town.
The Court OF Appeals that has been IN
regular session lere for several weeks will
adjourn next Friday. Judge MODcure has
been absent during the whole term on ac-
count OF iii health. During the session OF
the court several applicants have stood eX-
aminatons for license TO practice law,
among whom | have noticed a couple OF
tboeo tvho had that cOurSp at the University
last year.
There are great many visitors here from
the South, and a weekly hop" or "Ger-
man. adds TO the sOcability OF the place.
Saturday night Colonel Bogart, OF Ala
bama, delivered an address on the York
town Centennial.
Bishop White preached here twice Sun
day, and confirmed seventeen persons.
The recent nominations seem to meet
with general appreciation in this neighbour
hood. VISITOR.

Kanarha valley and Railroads.
Charleston Courier ]


The third road seeking a connection with
the Kauaw ha Valley is to come down Elk
river. Under Cbiei.Eugineer DOane, OF
Boston, corps OF engineers are now en-
gagged in running a line from Matthias
Point, on the Potomac river, 10 Harrison
burg, Va. thence to Webster county, on
the headwaters OF Elk river; thence down
Elk river to Charleston, Kanawha county;
thence to Point Pleasant, West Va. on
the banks OF the Ohio river, ut the
mouth OF the Great Kanawha. 4 good
deal OF work was done on different parts Of
this route several years ago, and some
miles OF this road were constructed in Nir-
GINA. Where the work was done on Elk
river near Charleston it was designated as
the " Black Jack road" Strong parties in
Boston have this enterprise now under
their control, aud the probabilities are
strongly in favor OF its being speedily con-
structed.
The Chesapeake and Ohio railway is soon
TO be extended down the Kauawha Valley
from Scary station dust below st. Adams
TO q point on the ONO river opposite CALI
polls, Ohio, where it will connect with the
GallipOlis, Columbus and Toledo railroads
in Ohio.

only RichmOnder here who is 4 Rcadiuster,
but he is known to be an intelligent gentle
man, who maintains his position and opln-

bis fellow.ciliZens OF Richmond or other
wise. There are now five hundred guests
here and more constantly coming in.
Misses Lizzie RennOlds and Empsic ReD-
nolds are registered here from Frcdcricks-
burg, and Z. c. ASseSin and family from
Norfolk city.
The ticket nominated at Richmond q
week ago is exceedingly popular here, espe-
cialy among Virginians. IL Is gratifying,
however, to know that Democrats from
other States feel a lively interest in the sue
cess OF the Virginia COnservltive-DcmO
cratic ticket. The people Of Rockingham
will have an opportunity on Monday next
OF seeing Daniel and Cameron confront
each other on the husting' in Harrisonburg.
The Democrats have no fears for their can
didate.

pittsburgh and the Virginia Iron
Region.

No wonder that the Pittsburgh iron man
vtsr,nrers are anxious to construct rail-
road lcsding to the rich iron-lands OF VIZ
eiafs. because this region offers the nearest
and the richest supplies OF ores that can DC
reached. The estimates Of those who ought
10 know is that railroad something less
than three hundred miles in length VIII
connect Penusylyania's great manuiac-
turing city with the centre OF the niue
ral region OF the Old Dominion. The Phlia-
6elpnla Record notes the fact that The MO-
uougabeIa river and its tributaries have cut
the way for a track q good part OF the con-
terminated route. Such road would lessen
the distance ores row have TO be transport
ed by Pittsburgh nearly ball. ana wou'u

and the railroads now ceuterDg at Richmond
and Norfolk. II has been ssceriained, aiter

mining engineers that in the region refer

bemalite, specuIsr, magnetic. fossil, and
red sbae ores, that only need capilsl ana
enterprise TO develop them aud make them
a mine Of wealth. No one disputes the as
sertion that Pittsburgh can obtain these
ores from Virginia cheaper than she can
transport those Of Lake Superior to her
manufacturing establishments, and this, 1t
seems 10 us, ought TO warrant the early
completion II the road. Now, as the yearly
consumption OF the Pittsburgh furnaces
amounts to 750,0 900 tons Of ore, this alone

road three hundred miles long. The Phlla-
delphh Record, in noticing the proposition
10 build a road from Pittsburgh to the Viz
cipia iron region, says the route OF such
road fundamentally penetrate the rich btu
mlnous coal.felds Of Western Pennsylvania
and Virginia, afiording fac lties for iron
manufacture along it, whole line. There Is
an aggregate Of capital in the iron business
in Western Pennsylvania heavy enough to
warran; large outlays in reaching reliable
source Of supply Of raw material. In the
face of western competition. which now
threatens TO divide a market heretofore al
most monOpolizCd by the iron-makers OF
Pennsylvania, no time is to be lost in secur'
ing cheap ores.

The straighout Republicans Of Virginia
made gallant fight at Lynchburg, and if
the issue Of the battle is not all that we
could have hoped, ii is less disastrous than
we feared. Ii is true that no ticket has
been placed 10 The field, but the Orglni-
cation of the plrty has been preserved
intact, and not one single principle has been
abandoned. There are those who will de-
plore the failure Of the Convention to put
a ticket Of its own in the field, and the
unanimity with which the candidates re-
commended by the committee were nomi-
mated shows that the sentiment OF the
Convention was in favor OF making The can

no doubt it was, by a patriotic regard for
what they considered the best interests Of
the party-left the Convention no alterna-
tive but TO abide by their judgment. Ii is
at this distance aud at this time, perhaps,
impossible TO foresee all the consequences
OF this action; but we may be reasonably
sure that ii will at least prevent the dismem'
berment Of the party. which would have
necessarily followed upon any fusion with
the Readjusters. aud make possible the re-
newal OF the struggle in the congressional
campaign next year.
Philadelphia Telegraph
The fact OF Republican coalition with Re.
adjusterism In Virginia having the appear
ance OF party regularity makes 1t Infinitely
worse for the party at large than It would
have been had the convention been allowed
10 20 BY default. The cIalitionists will
boldly demand recognition and support
from the National Republican organization
and from the Administration. And what
will be done about NJ Without such en-
couragement coalition cannot succeed; with
II the chances Of victory In November will
be exceedingly slim. 1t will be impossible
to work in the dark; whatever is done must
be done openly. The protesting anti-repu'
diation Republicans are led by men knowing
all the ms and outs, aud they will he quick
TO discover and to expose any aid and CON-
fort given to their enemies.

Editors Dispatch: There was a large
gathering here to-day at the County Court,
it being generally understood that the cam
paign would open between the Hon. John
Paul, the apostle OF Malone, and some one
OF our party leaders. He was promptly on
the ground, but as DO arrangement bad
been made as to who should represent our
side, it fell to the lot OF that gallant son OF
King William Colonel William II. Aylett to
do so. The Colonel led of in speech OF
an hour, TO which Paul replied in an hour
and a bali, and the former reiOined in if
teen minutes, and the latter replied In hf-
teen minutes. Ii would not be proper in
this communication 10 occupy enough OF
your space TO give full account Of the dis
cussion, but candor demands us to say that
Colonel Aylett handled the Hon. Mr.. Paul
with gloves of, and carried the white pOr-
ton of the audience with him, and showed
that be bad much OF the gift Of his Illus
triouS ancestor Patrick Henry. Ia brief,
he showed that the men who bad been true
TO every duty OF life were on the one side,
while those OF the other side were just the
reverse. TO prove how the negroes re.
ceiyed what was said, we will add that after
our meeting adjourned they held one, and
