Western immigration .

The published proceedings of the people
of Augusta to be found in the SPECTATOR
to-day, concerning the general movement
looking to the advent of immigration from
| the Western to the Southern States, is
matter Of chief interest to our Valley coun
try. The meeting provided for the forma
ton of society in aid of the introduction
of settlers here, and as the railroads are ar
ranging for excursion trips from the fa
West to Virginia with the view ofpromotine
that object it is important that we have al
organization in existence at once to intro
duce the sellers and buyers of land to eacl
other. The Committee which meets in thil
city on the 9TH of April to provide for the
organization of Land and Immigration
Society of the Valley, will doubtless take
the necessary steps for ascertaining the 10
cation of lands for sale and furnishing tC
the visitors all needed information.
It is more than probable that along witt
land-buyers there will be many looking ou
for locations for the purpose of establishing
manufacturing industries, and in that way
additional development of our resources
may be set on foot.

sTATIoNINe COMMITTEES REPORT.

LIGHTNING STRIKES THE CAPITOL AT
WAsHINGToN.-On last Wednesday, the
21st instant, lightning struck the Capitol
building aud created quite CONSERVATION
among TIE congressman and others. A
Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald thus describes the scene in
the Senate Chamber
cit was for the Senate, however, that
the lightning preserved its widest pfanks
At that point it struck with sharp report
aud destroyed the telegraph apparatus OF
the Associated Press and United Press. II
ran around the upper portion of the Senate
chamber like a sheet of fire. The bright
sheet Of running flame was dazzling. 1t
entered tina Senate wing through some Of
the pipes from a bove. The telegraph in
struments were damaged beyond immediate
repair and had to be abandoned for the
day. A few of the Senators were apparent
ly frightened, but the great majority sat
quietly in their seats while Mr.. Henderson,
of Nebraska, with the utmost nonchslsnce,
made motion in regard to pending bill.
For a minute, too, the lightning flashed
merrily about the platform where Mr.. In
gals, the presiding officer, sat. Directly
in the rear of the Presidents desk is the
battery from which the Senate electric bells
are worked. Through it all Mr.. ingalls,
sat unmoved, while the faintest sort of a
smile illuminated his cold features at the
manifest alarm displayed by some of his
colleagues in front.

We would also state that we are now In ne
gotiation with Mr.. Richards In regard to the
distribution of circulars and advertising nat
ter throughout Michigan, Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and lows, and the al rangement OF similar
excursions from those states to this Valley and
we have very little doubt but that they will be
arranged. We are very much in hopes of hav-
ing great many land prOspectors through
this county in the next few months. Whilst
we have many farms on our books for SALE still
we would like to have few more bargains to
offer, and any man wishing to sell, who will
put his land in our hands for sale at a reason
able price, may rest assured that we will ad-
show it to those intending to purchase, free of
cost to all parties. 1t is only when a sale ia
made that We charge any commission, and
then very reasonable one.
We, of course Will do our best. 1t is to our
interest to do SO, but the quality of the land
and the price asked therefor are the things to
be looked at, and are most important in try
ing to make sale. We certainly cannot sell
poor land to a sensible man at fancy price.

WHAT THE END WILL BE NOBODY SEEMS
TO KNOW.
The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, under date of the Oath
inst, says
Regarding republican politics in Vir-
ginia, Representative Bowdsn saysfit will be
found that all the newspaper and other talk
about opposition to General Malone within
his own party will amount to little or moth
ing, and that the General will continue to
be at the head of the party, as he deserves
to be, and that when the time comes for the
members of his party to show their feeling
on the subject they will support the General
with practical unanimity. Representative
Gaines says Mr.. Wise is noted for just such
breaks as he has recently made, but that he
will soon see the error of his way and go
along with. the rest of bis party. Mr.. Yost
SAYS all the information he has from the
State is to the effect that if Mr.. Wise shall
oppose General Mahone's management, as
he threatens to do, on the floor of the con-
vention, he will find a strong following be-
hind him. Ex-Representative John Amber
Smith says Mr.. Wise's recent letter was a
put up Job between Wise and Malone, the
latter having found that his secret circular
fell still-born, and that something had to be
done to let himself down easily, and at the
same time secure his object but that the
trick was performed so clumsily as to be de-
tected by all observers. Ex-Representative
Brady, now here, says the Wise letter is the
cause of good deal of Trouble among the
republicans of his, the Petersburg, district,
and that the end is not yet seen. He says
Wise is regarded by General Malone as a
''kicker," and that orders have already been
issued from headquarters to crush him.
All the parties named in this paragraph are
Virginia republicans.

Gov. GordOn's Views.

The New York Graphic publishes a
lengthy and interesting interview with Gov.
Gordon, of Georgia, who spent some days
recently in New York. He says that cotton
cloth can be made 10 or 10 per cent. cheap
er in the South than in the North, and that
the manufacture of cotton and iron and
other things in the South will, in another
generation, exhibit degree of prosperity
in the South unexampled in this country
He gives his own opinion of President Cleve-
land as follows: 81 regard him as great
man, and know that Lamar, who has the
best of opportunities for judging, so regards
him. My own belief is that we have had in
the history of the republic few greater or
better Presidents. He has remarkabl lie
moral force and will power. This view is
also confirmed by Mr.. Lamar, who knows
him far better than 1 do. Mr.. Cleveland is
an intellectual man-not brilliant, but
strong; and he never puts his pen to paper
without expressing himself with force and
felicity, grace of diction and a clearness of
English that is truly admirable. And Lamar
assures me that he writes his own papers,
and that he regards Mr.. Cleveland, after
close acquaintance, as great President y
The Governor predicts the unanimous nomi-
nation of President Cleveland, and has no
doubt that he will be triumphantly reflect
ed. Governor Gordon concluded his inter-
view with the following remarks on Presi-
dent Clevsland's position on the tariff cues
ton: 'sThs moderate view of all questions
is generally the correct one. President
Cleveland has taken the moderate view OF
this tariff question, and an overwhelming
majority OF the people are with him. l ap-
prove of the position he he's taken, and
wish it understood that am protectionist,
but wish the peor man protected as well
as the rich, and therefore favor tariff on
the luxuries of life to an extent sufficient to
meet the expenses of the government. u
Governor Gordon's prominence in the coun-
ellis of his party and as leader in moulding
Southern sentiment gives additional interest
to his expressions.

Col. Robert Beverly, the most prominent
farmer in Virginia, in a recent speech said
"The Farmers of Virginia have not in sixty
years been SO unprosperous as now"

ton, there are mortgages upon farm lands

WILL sTAUNToN SECURE A MANDATORY
OF THEM.
Inventors as a class are men who are
willing to stake their all upon what they
believe in. Even allowing for that, we
are not inclined to think that the success
announced of "Platform Binder" is
problematical, when the expense attending
the manufacture of fifty of them for the
purpose of practical tests during one harvest
has been assumed. If the test is SUCCESS
fully met, there will scarcely be a limit to
the manufacture of them. We are not in
| formed as to all that is necessary to be
done to secure one of the establishments,
but this truth is plain enough, that it will
not be located here without some effort,
for whenever the machine is declared to
come up to the claim made for it, there
will be no lack of offers to the parties con-
trolling it, for locating manufactures OF
them.
Those who have thought of the matter,
think the best way to proceed is to ask for
one of the machines for practical test next
harvest. In the meantime, and under the
supposition that the machine is all that is
claimed for it, we should see what can be
done towards securing proper location,
and what amount would be subscribed to
the capital stock of a company to be effec-
tive, if the machine proves by test what it
purports to be, otherwise of no effect
