Some six months ago we started the

cfrcurtisfMiees were so unfavorable,
successes have been beyond our

WHAT VIRGINIA HAS DONE.
The State of Virginia lias had a
wonderful history. An able journal,
the Cincinnati Union, reverts to it,and
r*ToaIs «vine facts! that, if generally
known, are little considered. The
clOs >. it observes, of tiie Revolutiona
ry H'/tj1 found (lie Government deeply
i'n debt. Most of the States'owned
large tract- ofVVcstoin land—the Gen-,
oral Government owned none. Of nil
the States. Virginia held (he best title
to the largest amount.• Upon the invi
tation of Congress, Virginia ceded all
her title to all lliVluiufs ow/it'ib by her
northwest of the river Ohio, and which,
with the exception of the strip now
known as the western Reserve, and a
portion set apart as a bounty to her
soldiers, embraced the territory now
forming the State of Ohio, and till ot
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and those portions of Iowa and Minne
sota not embraced with the Louisiana
purcJvwe, and this Virginia .did, in or
der that Ihe United States might, by
their sale, pay the debts contracted dur
ing the Revolution.
Virginia was then the lending Slave
State of the Sputli. Rut iu order that
the General Government might the
sooner sell their lands and realize their
value, she agreed that Slavery, except
fpr the punishment of crimes of vyjneh
the party should Hest be convicted,
.should be forever excluded from the
Territory. And with a wise fore
thought for the benefit of the purcha
sers, and the lauds thus donated, Vir
ginia also agreed that one section of
land,, in each towiuhip.—one thiriv
sixtli parf ofjfhc entire gift—should be
appropriated for the use of schools.
The State of Connecticut, .claiming
the laud embraced within tins WgiAei'n
Reserve of Ohio, rpVeit to make a
similac gift, Sbe retained hei: lauds
and sbld them, and placed tlie proceeds
,iu her.pw.n Treasur y, to he used as :>
sehpol fund; not for the people of. the
M i'slarn Rc-ervy. but for those ol‘ Con
Heelmut alone; and lo this day, the
interest, wo understand, is' so used.
Not m-j.i'y years sigpcy Qwagress, by
law,-dona ted out,of the gift. ,of Virgin
id. six hundred and forty acres of land
to each township in the Western Re

JBgV* The lir.dicals have rolled up
their s!ee\ns. and p. > inini war to the
knife upon the Southern 1 baton «mj
Southern people. They lire as venge
ful as ever; and are rapidly endorsing
15 ro widow1's policy of exterminating ail
■who will not bend the knee to the ne
gro. At the Mulatto Convention in
Philadelphia, Roast Rutter paid the two
millions of Yankee soldiers a high
compliment, ll’e was eulogizing the
negro, of course, and said, in reference
to the contest between the North and
the South, “Had the negro not been
armed, the result would have Men lari
different.” Is it so, Beast? Is it true
that two in iilions of A dr them soldiers
could not conquer a half million 01
rebels without the aid of the negro?
We believe that one Northern man.
fighting on his own soil, and lor liis
own home, is equal to two men of any
other race. We believe the same of
Southern men; but we also believe
what General Grant said lo Lee, on his
surrender, “You are not whipped, Gen
eral Lee. You are simply overpow
ered.'’ That was tho simple truth,
frankly spoken by a man who has
much magnanimity in his nature. We
have a higher opinion of Northern sol
diers than tlie Beast. He never com
manded many of them. We do not
think they were so much indebted to
the negro for their success as lie does.
The compliment lie pays to the negro
and the white soldier, however, is a
matter of,taste, about which we w ill
quarrel with no Radical. Reast Butler
has such a fondness for black men and
women with white hearts, that he
should apply fora patent right for his
discovery. He was accused of opening
the grave of Albert Sydney Johnston,
not to find what sort of a heart lie had,
but if any spoons were buried with the
hero's body, lie may have opened ne
gro graves with the same object, and
found ••white hearts."' Who knows?

Under ordinary circumstances, the '■

sure us of a rise in the price of our1
great staple in the markets of Furope,

such has been the stimulus imparted to
the culture of cotton in all parts of the
world where the soil is at all adapted
to its grow tii. the markets of Europe
are no longer entirely dependent ou
America, and the . consequence that
they ate “glutted,” And the price has
gone-steadily down since the close of

8ome curious discoveries have recen
tly been made nt 8ilehester, near Ras
! ingstoke, the site of the ancient Rritish
and Roman capital of .Southern ISritaiu,
The main street and a street running
from it have been laid open, together
with two large Roman houses with tes
sclateil pavements. The walls which
stiiroinnl the- capital were three miles
in length. The site of the amphitheatre
1 has been found, and an admission-pass
like the opera-house passes of the pre
sent day dug out. Coins connected
with periods anterior to the birth of
our Savior have also been found. A
brick lias also turned up, on which
some Roman lover had rut words rela
! ting to “my lass," or “my girl.” Roman
toothpicks, ear-picks, and seizors have
! been found, and the siteofn strong box
made of oak an inek thick. Sojimi re
mains of (lie box, its binges and lock,
i were picked up. The position of a
temple is known, and will one day he
'explored. Sileliester is the property of

.takably the importance of devoting
more attention to eofton manufacturing
at the South, it is only necessary to re

the investment in cotton factories in
Lowell. The aggregate capital inves
ted gv her ten large companies is stated
at Sift,000.000. The amount of cotton'
consumed is one hundred' thousand

exclusive of yarns, something over a
hnndrei1 millions ; and the number of

Operatives a.‘C vPostly women and girls.

When we consider the saving in freight,
and the advantage which the local buy

— Yesterday inoruing, near the hour of
twb. the onginehouse bells, somewhat
in violation Of the accustomed silence
for .the past few Weeks, rang out the
alarm of tire with frightful energy. It
was caused In thenppe'stranoP'bf ii.lines
issuing from a block of small mixed
bpek and frame tenements situated on
Jefferson street, south side, just beyond
the New Theater. The origin of the
lire is not certainly known, nor is the
particular bui India' been yet ascertain
ed in which it first r»,pke out ; but the
supposition is, by those who reached
the.scene earliest, that it comnu-iecd in
a small rear sited att iched to the marl -
ine shop pf our old and well known
citizen, Mr. A. (,). Shultz. The lire de
pirtnient was promptly on the ground
with Us machines, which were put in
operation as soon as possible, hut from
tiie amount of dry wooden material in
the block, the flames made rapid and
frightful headway, and against any
other than the steam engines, would
have become master of the situation,
and s8oa caused a lamentable destruc
tion of property. As it was, the lire
could not be subdued sufficiently and
kept in hounds save by four or five
hours' incessant labor and watchfulness
of the lire department.
Fourteen tenements, west to east
from Xo. 115 to No. 129 were destroy
ed. The loss was not large, as the buil
dings were old and small, not reaching,
perhaps, over seven thousand dollars.

A OrnioLS Bet.—Gen John A. Logan,
formerly of the United States army, is
at this time a Radical candidate at large
for Congress for the State of Illinois.
An exchange says:
Responsible and well known citizens
of Cairo offer the following wagers to
Gen. John A. Logan's tViejids : SlO that
John A. Logan cannot name three revo
lutionary Generals ;S10 that he cannot
give the names of three revolutionarv
battle-fields; SlO that lie cannot name
the three original colonies; SlO that he
cannot name the present States in the
Union : SlO that he cannot name a sin
glo battle.in which Gen. Washington
personally participated: 810 that lie
cannot, name the three most populous
cities in tlie world; s!t) that lie cannot
name the capitals often States of the
Union : 810 that he cannot compute the
interest at 7 per cent, on for six
weeks ; 810 that he cannot give the date,
birth and death of Gen. Washington;
S!0 that he cannot correctly punctuate
his own signature and SlO more that no
mail who is intimately acquainted with
Logan dare accept any two of the above
propositions.
The Cotton and the Grass Army
Worm.—The Baton Kongo Advocate
has been shown specimens of each. It
says:
The cotton loaves whereupon these
worms were found, and on which they
still may be seen at work in our office,
are pretty well riddled—especially the
one in which the urnyv worm lias ta
ken up his quarters. These worms are
about the same sL.e—slender, and
somewhat over an inch in length. The
army worm has a dark striped back:
the grass worm is of a yellowish color,
with light stripes and a double row of
very small, dark tints along the. whole
length of its back.
Wo hope that both the season and
Lite cotton crop.-, are now too far ad
vanced to enable those depredators to
do more than partial in;uty.
