The Board OF Supervisors has been
in session to-day receiving the insol'
vent list. In some Of the districts the
list is smaller, but in the aggregate
larger than last year. The Board has
had q splendid brick vault built in
connection with both the county and
circuit clerks offices, in which to store
the valuable records and papers.
A very interesting meeting has been
in progress for some days at Hunting
Creek Baptist church. on the north side
Of this county, conducted by Rev. Will
liam Fisher pastor, assisted by Rev. E.
A. Senord, Of Pamplin City. There
have been fifteen or twenty accessions
to the church.
Rev. a. w. Williams, a student oil
Richmond College, who spent his vaca'
ton in this county assisting Rev. James
A. Davis in protracted meetings,
preached very acceptably and made q
fine impression.

Miller gave bond in the sum Of $500

He was q native Of Tyrrell county, and

forts are being made to detect the bur.
glars who shot him. They had jus,
forced an entrance into his store, above
which he resided, when he heard them
and opened another door. He was then
deliberately shot in q few feet of his
sleeping family.

But why was there ga lack Of west
ern connections "? Up to the time
when Virginia became member Of the
Union she was in fair way to take the
lead Of all the colonies in the way to
material progress and we think it is
not claiming too much for her patriot
ism and unselfshness to say that, as is
rather intimated than said by the
Ledger, she sacrificed much Of material
prosperity when she became one of the
United States. Then and there she
gave away her ability to make the
western connections which were secured
to New York by her territorial position
in the new Union. -RichmORd. Dis
patch.
We merely aimed to show the erro-
neous conclusion of the author Of the
paper which was read to the Richmond
merchants, when he assigned the rea-
son which he did for Norfolk's failure
to keep pace with New York. There
is no doubt Of the fact that what was
Virginia's loss was gain to the republic
when the Union was formed, for at that
time the value of the exports from the
southern States principally from Viz
ginia) was greater than from the north
ern States, and it must be remembered
that cotton then formed no portion Of
that trade.
Asa matter Of fact the destruction
of Norfolk by bombardment during the
Revolution scattered her inhabitants,
and when the war had ended many of
her most enterprising merchants had
been ruined OF failed to return to the
city; but the rewards of commerce
were such in those days that new mer-
chants appeared on the scene, and the
fleets which sailed from Norfolk visited
large part Of the world. A reference
to the columns of the papers published
in the early part Of the century discloses
the fact that trade was had with the
West India islands, the Mediterranean
ports, Great Britain, France, Spain,
Holland, and Madeira islands, as we'll
as in other directions, and the adver-
tisements Of arriving and departing
vessels occupied the greater part of the
papers. In fact, the vessels were so
numerous in our hsrbor that it has
been asserted that q person could
almost walk from Norfolk to Ports
mouth on their decks as they
were anchored side by side in the
stream. But all this was changed by
the results which followed the war
} between France and England. There
, is on file in the clerks office in this
city 8 deed of assignment made by
3 merchant few years after the
passage ofthe embargo act, and among
the property which he surrendered for
the benefit Of his creditors about q
dozen vessels are mentioned by name.
His experience was that of numerous
others, but after the war Of l812S15
the country was changing rapidly, and
, it was the inability Of Virginia to keep
pace with those changes which prevented
: Norfolk's again forging ahead as she did
after the close Of the Revolution.
/ There were other points in the paper
, to which We referred which deserved
mention, but we have confined our re-
; marks to only one.-Norfolk Ledger.
