IT Is GENERALLY conceded that
Governor Montsgue's speech ct bis in-
aueurstIor 10 Richmond yesterday was
oas of the most compact, practical re-
views of the State, its needs, aims, &C.,
that has omanated from gentleman
occupying the gubsrn atorial chair for a
long time. II was comparatively short
and was devoid OF useless verbosity or
auy attempt to form q literary crazy
quilt by quoting or referring to every
thing in history from the scenes in the
Garden OF Eden down to the present.
The few references he did make were
apt and appropriate and the speech,
delivered as II was, with all Mr.. Mon
tsgue's electrical force delighted bis
hearers. The new Governor has
started all right. He has the ability,
Industry and every other essential for
the position he mas been called to I'LL.
Practical and far-seeing as he Ia, all
are convinced that the Governor Will
leave no stone unturned for the
advancement OF Virginia's interests
The encouraging picture be paints o.
present conditions and possibilities are
not visionary bat glaring facts, and the
Old Dominion, now emerged from the
rsvages OF an invading army and the
havoc wrought during four years war
is destined to push on to the front
rauk in commercial and every other
point OF view.
