tofore unknown. This growth is but just be: ginning. Who oan tell what its limit may be? Its forests are goce; millions of industrious, thrifty, and wealthy people occupy the places where we remember, when a boy, (and though somewhat a ‘‘fogy,”’ by no means an old one,) to have heard that the savage Indian was still roaming. What will this growth have come to when we have grown to be an old, even a middle aged, man? What, in a few years? It is but a few years since we believed the forests of the West would have supplied the world with fuel for s thousand years. We have just heard that in Cincinnati, Louisville and other great towns on the Ohio river, every manufacturing establishment has been stopped for weeks for want of fuel; that people had frozen to death for the want of fire to warm themselves by; and our eyes have been opened to see, that even now, they must look to the mines to supply the wante of a country more dependent than any other in the world upon the stationary steam engine and the locomo- tive for its future prosperity. We have learned that already fifty or sixty millions of bushels ef coal are annually consumed below the mouth of the Kanawha river, and when we have seen the long navigable rivers, the thousands of miles of railroad, the immense msnufacturing establishmente, the cities, and towns and houses, we have not wondered that the quantity should be so large. We have learned that coals from the Ka- nawhba mines can be delivered cheaper, and of better quality, than from any other source in the western contry, and that this great and growing trade may be made to contribute to the prosperity of the good old State, and we rejoice to believe that it is so, for we know sbe will make good use of it. Pennsylvania realizes, including the incidents connected with her coal enterprises, probably not leas than sixty or seventy millions of dollare per annum—the growth of about twenty years— while the most ample private fortunes have accrued from such investments within that time. May we not hope that Virginia may rival her in afew years to come. That the few who are evincing theirsagacity by invest- ments now in these enterprises will be richly rewarded, there can be no doubt. Elected.— According to our anticipations, despite the positive assurances of that yentle- man’s enemies at home to presses on the At- lantic slope to the contrary, Wm. M Gwin has been re-elected to the Senate of the United States from California We regard him, as we have frequently intimated, as one of the first men of the age in point of eagacity, en- ergy, legislative attainments, and, indeed, all other characteristics neceszary to insure his success as a national legislator. His re-appear- ance in the Senate will prove as fortunate for general public interest as for that of his State; for he has invariably wiclded an influence when in the national councils second to that of no other member of either House. His colleague, elected at the same time, Mr. Broderick, must be a man of brains, nerve and indomitable energy of character, or he could not have sustained himself to the point of bis final triumph throughout the fierce political contest in which he has been for many years past a conspicuous leader. Though never be- fore in national public life, he is well known to all the politicians of all parties on the At- lantic side through his participation in Cali- fornia local polities to which we refer above. WASHINGTON CITY: fINGTO PRIDAY ..:......-..---- Febracry 13, 1867. —=—————_ ee . SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS. The Jatelligeancer contains a letter from the Attorney Genersi to the District Attorney in New York city, requesting him to challenge the publication of the letter of Mr. Sidney Webster, the President’s private secretary, which the Fillibusters (to break the force of the charges under which they are being tried) profess to have, which according to their inti- mation will eonvict not only the writer but the President of the United States of complicity in their acts of robbery, arson and murder in Central America, to further their desperate moonshine pecuniary speculations. Wequote from General Cushing’s letter (of the 7th) as follows 2 “The allegation insinuated, rather than pronounced, Tithe fact of the offer to produce a letter from Mr. Webster, under the frank of the President, that tho President has con- nexions of any sort with the mstter, is utterly destitute of a shadow of foundation. He has never had interest in any hap gra rty whatever in Central Amer never, by any act or —— whatever, participated directly or indirectly in the pro- pored colonization projects of Mr. Fabens or of any otber person; and all suggestions re- fleeting on him in this relation, from whatever quarter they may come, are but false inven- tions, produced for the purpose of creating prejudice and directing attention from the true character of the acts of the persons un- dergoing examination before the Commissoner. “* You are therefore instructed to unite and eballenge all possible inquiry on this point; and in this respect. as in al! others, continue to preeeed, as you have done in such cases, without fear or favor, in the impartial per- formance of your whole duty, as well to the eople as to the (uvernment of the United Eeates. ; “TI bave ths boror to be, very respectfully, ©. Cusnixe.” The Intelligezcer cays of it, that it“ effee_ tively refutes, thiugh contradiction were scarcely vecessary. tie loore intisuations to which it refers, and which bave tvo readily obtained currency through @ portion of the publi: press.’ The Union publishes to-day No. 6 of its six | promised numbers on Abolitionism —_— oo WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP Western Virginia —The extension and completion of the Virgivia and Tennessee and the Covington aad Ohio railroads is evidently t> pour into Western Virginia—that is, into of the State—an immense amount of capital owsed at the North and in Europe, now seeking safe as well as profitable investment. There is a great everplus of inactive capital everywhere just now, in the hands of business persons in com- paratively small sums, the result of the suc- cessful trade in almost al) branches ef com mercial, agricultural and mechanical business within the last three or four years of unpre- cedented prosperity We believe that much more than what under ordinary circumstances might be termed that region’s legitimate share of that surplus capi- tal will be invested in the section of Virginia to which we refer; because, while it is clear that its lands and industrial enterprises em- brace guarantees of heavy profits on invest- ments, there is no danger whatever of sudden collapses of trade there—owing to the steadi- ness that marks all trade under the laws and customs of the Old Dominion—such as, to a greater or less degree, endanger almost all ir- vestments of non-residents in new States, the legislatures of which are eternally tinkering with fixed principles of commerce, law, &c , to the great danger of inflating every thing— stocks, lands, trade, &c.,—to the point of bursting, and bringing about heavy losses to those who, not being present in person, cannot as well protect their own immediate interests as thoee on the spot. The thoughtless may sneer at Virginia’s fogyiem in invariably rejecting, in matters of legislation, short cuts to wealth—nostrums for making in the shortest conceivable time huge fortunes for every speculator around the dig- givgs. Yet her Legislature’s course in th connection bas secured almost universal satis- factory (reasonable) proeperity for the mass of her people engaged in business. There is comparatively no absolute want within her limits, where all may be said to be comfort- able in their circumstances. This is the con- dition the community, of all others, in whose midst investments of foreign capital can be most aafely and surcly made. Under such circumstances, knowing as we do, that the people of the State have within the last three or foar years sprung to the work of developing the resources by which they are surrounded, (agricultural, mineral, t¢ ; and by the construction of pradently planned rail- roade,) and that they are thus rapidly better ing their own fortunes, we feel assured that capital from a distance will not long hence be extersively reeking profitable investments in the localities of the Siate where these deve'- opments arc most striking. Thus, it cannot Potsibly be lopg hence ere the stccks of the Alexandria and Orange, the Virginia Central, and the Virginia and Tennessee railroads, are regarded with as much favor by capitalists ia all sections of the Union az those auy other timilar American works; for the country trib- Utary to them is Progressing wore surely (safely,) and, at the same time, as rapidly as apy cther in any section of the Union we know of. We are Sratified to learn that some of our own citizens are taking advautage of this progress of the good “ Ojd Dowixion."’ We hear frequently of investments made in var'- cus parte of it, and are glad to believe thet Washington wil! resp largely of the profits of ite development. We hear that last week a Mr. De Witt’s Speech, delivered yester- day, accomplished more for the interests he represents than any other pro-protection ar- gument which has so far marked the current debate upon the tariff question So much for hard sense and an abiding knowledge of hu- man nature. The truth is, Mr. De Witt is oneof the most popular members of the body, and possesses the shrewdness necessary to turn his personel popularity to good account where the interests committed to his charge are concerned. It will be fonnd, ere the ter- mination of the next session, that his constit- uents made a grave mistake, so far as their immediate and material interests are con- cerned, in throwing him out of his present po- sition for the sake of electing, in his stead, a blatherskiting abolition slangwhanger.

Stuart of Michigan, Crittenden, Collamer, Benjamin, Toucey, ard Pugh, until the subjest was laid on the table on motion of Mr Pugh A message was received from the House, announcing the adoption on the part of that body of a joint resolution for the «ppointment | of a cemmittee to wait on and notify th ident and Vice President elect of ‘thei elec- tion, &c ; which was concurred in, and the President of the Senate was directed to make the necessary appointmentof a committec-man oa their part under it.

Grorcetows, Feb. 12, 1857, The numerous friends of our old and highly esteemed fellow-citizen, Mr. Chas. W. Dean, living ia the District and elsewhere, will re- gret to learn that an accident befel him yes- terday by which ho was bereft of the earnings of several years industrious toil. He was, as usual, engaged at his rope walk, spinning. The weather being very coid, he had a small fire in a stove which stands in an offise or ware- house attached to the south end of the walk While Mr Dean and his gon were both absent from the office, a spark of fire flew out of the stove and fell among some fine hemp, and be- fore either of them could reach tho spot, the entire building and valuable contente, con- sisting of the very best quality of hemp, rope, twine, &c., was allina flame. The Vigilant, and several of the Washington fire companies, were soon on the ground, but could render no service. Mr. Dean’s loss is upwards of $2.000 and wo regret to learn that he has no insu- rance. A gentleman at Mercersville, who has seen Dam No. 4 since the freshet, writes to our city that itis not injured to an extent that will prevent navigation on the canal from that point, at least not until such tiroc as the water may be unusually low, when a coffer dam around the damaged part willbe necessary, and which can be vonstructed at a small out lay of money and time. We have heard it rumored that another banking house is to be established in our city, early the coming summer, by a young man, a native of cur city, who went to California some five or six years ago, and who, by dili- gence, industry and economy, has scraped tc gether a protty considerable pile.
