the active work OF some,
With the aPae' y of others, in this regard.
In Tile OLA" papers which reach this office
are 'ee' Sional articles, showing that in
"f'o0' Ss0'"1 AS of the State men are at
w"rI ronorinr orb;b;t. In Rooro county
for example, Thomas Hill is preparing quite
an extensive display of coal and iron ores
and samples Of the valuable woods with
which that country ahonnds. If those pol
ticiaus who are bowling about West Vir-
ginia driving capital from her borders would
now put their shoulders to the wheel, they
would do a real something toward the ma.
terial welfare Of the State. Col, Philip
Pendleton of Berkeley Springs, Commits,
sioner from this State TO the Exposition,
writes as follows concerning the State ex-
hibit:
We have within our own borders mines
of mineral wealth and forests of valuable
woods, such as are not dreamed of by
ninety nine.hundrcds of those who live out
side, and | speak knowingly, when | say
that nine-tenths of the members elect to
both houses are so directly interested in
tho PRONUNCIATION Of all information upon
this subject that they will not only vote a
reasonable appropriation for the purpose,
but that they and their constituents will
find fault with me, as their agent and rep
resentatiye, if | fail in this matter. ! have
had too little Of both time and
money to perform such an exhib-
it at the Worlds Exposition as
have. You may begiu at the very northern
county tuancock) and 90 south, east and
west, from the valley Of Iir1'-; to .ho
""".o and Kentucky lines, and down to and
including Mcdowell, and there is not q sin.
gle county in which mines of deposit of
coal and ores or forest products OF innumer-
aO!e value 90 not present themselves-to
say nothing Of the agricultural va;,ue of the
entire country. Our State revenue is small,
ard will so remain until her resources are
developed. We have no capital within our,
selves TO d~evelopc them. 1t can only be
done By bringing it from elsewhere; we can
nc bring it unless W. have something to
show iCr it, and if we WEE to proclaim
the fact of or vast resources IN pint for
half a century it would not accomplish |
what an exhibit viii do at New Orleans.
1t cannot be doubted that such an exhibit
increase the value of all properties in our !
State very greatly and in a very short
time, as a matter of course, up goes the as
sessment and as a consequence OR State
revenues would be greatly increased. But,
in addition to all this and in reference to
this matter of TIE debt to which our Gods
alludes there is this to be said, that the bill
now before Congress to indemnify or restore
TO certain States, are among them, the
tag levied upon them by the general gov
eminent, amounting to some 2OO,O 0 or
more, will certainly pass Congress next
winter.
