yIRGINIA'S OYSTER INDUSTRY.
Coy. Mckinney Preparing Commuai.
cation 10 The Legislature.

RICHMOND, VA, Sept. 27.-Govern-
or Mckinney, it is said, is going in
dustriouslv at work pretty soon to
prepare his communication to the
Legislature on the oyster subject.
For the past eight months he has
been collecting ell of the information
that he could secure on this topic:
Among other data he has received
reports from the Rhode Island, Con-
nccticut and North Carolina State
-otlicials giving the statistics and
other information in connection with
the industry of those States. These
| will only serve to SHOW the compare
tive results accomplished in Virginia
and the other States named.
The Governor has written to many
Of the most prominent MEN i'll the
Tidewa ter section of Virginia, asking
for their views us to the best mode to
adopt for securing the most effective
results in fostering the oyster indus
try in this State. These inquiries
have been directed especially to the
proposal tor]ease out the States oys-
ter lands. The responses to these
questions, it is said, show n great diff
ference of opinion among those inter-
ested III the cultivation of oysters.
The Governor has long entertained
the opinion that it is impossible to
arrive at any intelligent conclusion
on all the various and complicated
features Of this subject until it shall
have been thoroughly examined into
by IL commission. His idea is that
disinterested men should be appoint
ed and paid for inquiring into this
matter. Possibly he will recommend
such q course to the Legislature at
this Observation-Disclosures Sun.
