reported for the Staunton VINDICAToR.]
GREENvILLE, Aug. 1.-THE glass sand
owned and controlled by Messrs. Larew and
Newton is rapidly assuming shape, and we
hope soon to see a large force of hands un-
earthing it. Messrs. r. E. Larew of this
place, S. M. Donald of Buena Vista and
VIM. Patrick Of StauntOn, visited the great
glass manufacturing cities of Wheeling,
w. Va, and Pittsburg, Pa, and exhibited
samples of the sand to prominent capital
lists there, last week. MI. Larew informs
me that in a few days capitalists will be
here to see further into the matter, and they
express themselves well pleased with the
sample exhibited. This sand was analysed
by professor of W. & L. University, and
it was shown to contain SO 11-100 per cent.
of pure silica, whilst that worked in
Pennsylvania contains only IS per cent. of
silica. This here has the highest per cent.
is an abundance of it here, and we trust
that Basic City OF some other company
may soon establish a glass factory, and
thus open up another sleeping industry.
Indeed Virginia S future is bright.
Our town and community is chock full
of visitors now. We notice at our board
ing places, parties from Richmond and
elsewhere, and in the community young
ladies from your city. Our popular sum-
mer resort, the ''Cold Springs" is crowded
with visitors, and a gay time they are
having too.
We hear great deal of a roller process
flour mill here. Now go to work We men
of money and put it Up; it has paid at other
places and why not here, where so much
and such good wheat is raised. Don t
take this out in talk.
The Augusta Sunday School Union will
meet at the Methodist church here on We'd
nesday the 18th, our people are preparing
to entertain the visitors.
Augusta Lodge A. f. & A. M No. Ill.
has received an invitation to attend the
corner stone laying of the Methodist church
at Lexington on the 21st, and quite num-
Der of them will attend.
The wheat crop is not turning out a half
a crop here. Rain is needed. Farmers
have plowed some.
Will have Sunday School Convention next
week. DELTA.

The Duty ON Rice.

Decidedly the State of Louisiana,
no matter what party comes to
power, seems destined to be the
scapc goat Of the tariff thinkers Of
the entire Union. Congress, wheth-
err Democratic or Republican, llarps
constantly N two strings, whose
tune affect it the most, namely:
sugar and lice.
The duties on each must be
reduced or must be taken off," such
is the cry; and, Of course, as an inevi-
table result these immensesand vital
agricultural pursuits are constantly
on the lqui vive" for their very exis-
tence. Capital fights shy Of them
or is granted. lowing, to the uncer-
tainty) On rates nearly ruinous.
Why such a settled luminosity, or
rather such a short sighted policy
on the part Of the nation representa-
tives? What can the -coantry gain
by it2 \ larger trade with the
West Indies and South America, as
what pertains to sugar? A larger
trade with India aud the Eass as to
rice?
For the FIRST, Congress had better
reduce the duties on articles Of i'm
port, outside Of sugar, and then by
trading on the most favorable
clause, obtain equal privileges for
its own manufactured and other
products throughout South America
which will not be the case, unless
equal advantages are granted reei-
proeally.
As to trading in India, sacrificing
for that agnas fatUus our rice indus
try, is moi ouly unWise, unpatriotic
but also foolish to the highest degree,
for that country being under the
control OF the European powers,
principally, such largely manufac
turing States, will not be SO foolish
assto~open tlreir doors to such re.
doatable competitors, as are the
manufacturer of the United States!
