VIRGINIA.

BY HON. ELISHA E. MEREDITH, NJ. C.
From the New York Independent
do not think there is State in the
Union where the opportunities for both
labor ard capital are better than in
Virginia. In the southwestern part Of
The State, for instance, we have large
tracts of land which contain mines that
have never been worked. We have
thousands of acres of farming land
hich can be bought at very low fig
ur>t. This is land that would yield
good returns TO the farmer, and would
be particularly suitable for new settlers,
who might immigrate siEgly or club to-
gether aud form colony. So far, We
bave had very little colonization in any
section of the State. In the northern
section we have had a good many set
tiers from Pennsylvania and other
northern States. They are thrifty farm
ers, good citizens, and, as far as my
knowledge goes, believe they are doing
we'll. Our farming lands. are cheap
and can be bought on easy terms. The
price of land in Virginia ranges from
five dollars to thirty dollars an acre,
and highly improved land is worth
more than the last-named figure
Good, fair land can be bought for from
ten to fifteen dollars an acre.
What the State of Virginia needs more than
anything else is manufactures. We have
good water power and every other condition
TO encourage such industries In our own
State we have lacked the necessary capital to
start such enterprises, or they would have
been started long ago. think it would pay
business men to investigate and find out just
whist we have to offer along these lines. 1t
seems to me that there can be no place in the
country where there are better facilities for
manufactures of all kinds.
The western part Of the State is mountain
Gus. In that ction there are coal and iron
mines Considerable capital has been invest
ed in the mining industry, and there are OF,
portunites for further investment.
OF course it is pretty we'll known that in
the southern part of the State, the cultivation
and sale OF tobacco furnish the hrgest amount
of employment. We have the finest tobacco
ras d in the world The tobacco factories at
lynchburg, Danviile, Richmond and Peters
burg give employment to an enormous num-
Der of laborers The city of Richmond has
improved wonderfully since tine war, and al
kinds of business are prosperous, SIS the
times go.

THERE Is great complaint 10 the
South of the false history of this section
of the country that is written, printed
and taught in the North, where, the late
III lice Lamar said, the South had long
s Sc ceased to hope for fair representa-
ton. Such complaint is silly and puer
lie. False history Of the South Is
popular in the North, and therefore has
q ready sale there, and the schools in
which it is taught are we'll patronized,
and, strange as it may appear to those
ignorant of human nature, by South
err people. If the latter don't want
their children inculcated in the belief
that they are descendants of traitors
and rebels, who should have been hang
Cd, all they have to DO is to
supply them with some of the
many true and excellent histories
of the war between the States, written
ny men of their own section, and send
them to Southern schools, which are
not only as good, but better, in every
respect, than those OF the North.

SOUTHERN RAILROADS AGREE.-A

SOUTHERN RAILROADS AGREE.-An
agreement was reached at Atlanta on
Saturday by most of the representa-
tiyes of southern railroads, who had
been in conference there for three days.
The Queen & Crescent declines to sign
the contract because the Louisville &
Nashville will not consent to put in all
of its mileage. These are the only two
lines that seem to give any alarm.
though the Nashville, Chattanooga &,
St. Louis, by likewise refusing to sign,
may cause some of its rivals to hold
back, too. With these differences pre-
vailing, the new association may have to
cut its territory short and extend north
only as far as Chattanooga. A commit
tee was appointed to report nomina-
tons for commissionership and other
officers at the next meeting in Atlanta.
March 9th, when a complete rati6ca-
ton of the work of this meeting will be
sought.

SOLICITOR GENERAL Holmes Conra,

SOLICITOR GENERAL Holmes Conrad,
at a meeting of the Confederate Neter-
ans Association of Washington last
week, opposed the organization of a
society to be known as the Sons of Con
tolerate Veterans, upon the ground, as
stated in the newspapers of that city,
that 'sit might offend Northern
soldiers" But why should it, any more
than the Confederate Veterans Associa-
tion of which Mr.. Conrad is member:
Neither Washington nor the North is
the place for any sort OF Confederate as
sociations, but not for the reason Mr..
Conrad assigns, for as the country is
now reunited, they have as much legal
right to exist out Of the South, as in it,
whether they Offend Northern
soldiers or not. But the South is their
proper place, and it is bad taste to have
them any where else.

MONDAY EVENING. MAR. II. 1853.

THAT TRUTH can not calch up attn
lie is aptly illustrated by the fact that
in an article in this mouths number Oh
the Century Magazine the old lie is re-
iterated, that the late Chief Justice la
new decided that ''the negro has no
riGbts that white man is bound to re-
sasct.,, and that, too, though all the
popular American biographies and cy-
cIopadias contain the decision referred
to. and thought its full text is printed in
the records ofthe Us. Supreme Court
The Chief Justice rendered no such de-
cision. What he did say was, tina
"for more than century before
the Declaration OF independence
negroes had been regarded as
beings of an inferior order, and 50
far inferior, that they had no rights
which a white man was bound to re-
gpcct." Evelsy word of which is true:
and well known to every man familiar
with the history Of the negro race ana
the Chief Justice may just as well be
denounced for having stated any other
historical fact.

AT THE funeral ofthe negro thief and
desperate who was shot while resisting
arrest in Washington last week, the
negro preacher appealed to his hearers
to "avenge" the death of the criminal,
''even if it were necessary to go to
arms" As some of the newspapers OF
Washington advocate the removal and
punishment of the policeman who shot
him, the preacher referred to is not
to blame, as he was probably induced
to speak as he did by their teachings.

THE PAGE FORGERY CAsEs.-The
March term of the Clarke County
Court opened on Tuesday, and was
continuously in session all the week
The special grand jury brought in six
indictments against William B. Page
for forgery. Mr.. Page, upon the dis
covery of mis- forgeries in May last, alb
seconded, and was found, arrested,
brought back, and lodged in Jail at
Berryville a few weeks ago. On ac-
count of the extent and number of the
forgeries alleged to have been commit
ted by Mr.. Page, and the number and
prominence of the persons whose
names he is accused of having forged,
it is probable that the prosecutions
against him will be of more than usual
interest. Able counsel have been en-
ployed on both sides, the Common
wealth being represented by County
Attorney F. B. Whiting, assisted by
Mr.. William r. Alexander, of Wiz
chester; while the defence have Messrs.
Moore & Kownslar and Richard E. Bird,
of Winchester, engaged. In the appli-
cation for bail made before Judge VIM.
NJ. Atkinson, of Frederick county
Judge R. II. Lee, of Clarke county,
having refused to sit in the cases on
account of his relationship to the &C.
cused-a hot contest was made over
the amount of bail, which was finally
fixed at 81 500 in each case. This being
more than Mr., Page could give, he was
remanded to Jail, and his trial fixed for
April 4th next. In addition to the
criminal proceedings, six civil suits
against William ,. Page and B. O. AL
len, A. ]. Lippett and William E..
Reed as endorsers on his notes (all of
which endorsements are claimed to be
forgeries), involving amounts aggregat-
ing about 81 900, have been instituted
in the Circuit Court in Berryville. All
of these suits will be hotly contested
by both sides.
