Naturally she should have ber hero-every tuch town has one. Wher it. hers? She has had men capable of becoming heroes, but they were led off;to Fmall conceits and limited fields of indiudual benefit, and left opportunities for immortal Came as the builders of the comtn^clal and physical greatness of their 8tale i . f (|,e achievements of unoccupied. J*>me oi m' those who might have secured such fame are still whittling away the resources und iKiwer of their native State. ^Thus we stand. But we feci warranted bv the grand latK>r performed by tMs communitv since the war in believing that it _i. capable of meeting and triumpbing o exigency, great as it is, in which we are placed. They have passed through lne andhflvc come forth strong and resolute. 1 be> lifted up their city out of its ashes mor solid and beautiful than ever, and ha>e struggled through political oppression, poverty" and the Injurious measures ot corporations which owed their existence to the State and to which Richmond contributed more money than any other four eities m the State, and to-day are stronger and more prosperous than at any time since the war. The population of this city is increasing, and so are her trade and her inauufactuung industry. This is enough to encourage us all and assure us of our power to meet the exigency and to triumph over it, to the enduring advantage and pride of the Common

wealth. In looking at the disadvantages we labor under we ask, How shall we get over tliein ? Plainly, we must get power. That will put an end to discrimination against us; that will give us control where we need it; that will give us the full possession of our geographical advantages. How shall we get power? 1st. By deepening James river, so that there will be sixteen or eighteen tect in its channel. 2d. By straightening and shortening our lines of communication with the West by the Virginia and Tennessee and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. This effected, the seagoing ships at Eichmond will be brought so much nearer the great points of production in the interior that their products, whether of fields or mines, must inevitably be brought here. Only we must have completed the first great work of deepening James river so that the exit of transportation from Richmond to the sea shall be easy and safe. These done, and Richmond becomes the permanent terminus of the great Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. Our relation to | the great consolidated line we know must be friendly and fair on both sides. Whatever irritability may now exist bearing upon this relation must be temporary and soon subside. In General Mahone we con-! fide. He. is not a sectional partisan, and is not so unpatriotic as to withhold justice from the largest city in his native State. He is, moreover, a sagacious man?one of indomitable energy?and who will not foil in the great struggle to swell the commerce of ? Virginia to avail himself of the most effectual means to do so. He will not work in hostility to the natural forces so plainly Indicated in behalf of the supremacy of Virginia in physical power. So, then, let us see. We shall have a , channel to the sea deep enough for all purposes. We shall, by building a hundred miles of road to Lynchburg, be put in the possession of the advantages of a great highway equal to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad ; and we shall have another in the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad greater than the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Greater because of its shortness, its ea&ier grades, and the country it traverses. To our consolation, moreover, we know that this gigantic improvement is directed by a man ot immense practical information, and who i* possessed of a sagacity quick to intuitiveness and wonderfully accurate, whose plans are directed to this city, and who, together with the directory, which concurs in hi* views, will at the earliest practicable moment, straighten the eastern division of his road and diminish its grades k> that the sharpest grade in the whole line will be the twenty-nine feet coming east (in ascending the Alleghany at the White Sulphur Springs) and some forty feet going wett (crossing the Alleghany beyond Covington), which compares well with fhe one hundred and sixteen feet to the mile of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, crossing the Cheat mountain. ?We shall have, then, two great ways going westwardly, neither of them inferior to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and we shall hive capacity for sea-going vessels equal to all our waists. Upoa these ln&teures we must now go to work with a perseverance and enterpxiae

Of unsurpassed salubrity and beauty of landscape, as Richmond always has been, she w ill then be a queen amongst the inland cities. State debt will be wiped out by the swelling pub-1 tic revenues derived from a mining, manufacturing, and agricultural industry and an Enterprising commerce, and the whole State ?will pnt on the face of that new Virginia? of the young and giant spirit which has been born of war and adversity. ! If Radicals were Liberal. Power can afford to be liberal. It is never wise when it is not. If Congress could only think so we would not see them mousing over petty slanders, giving ear to manufactured horrors, and helping the swarm of interlopers hated by the people to harass them and feed on their substance. It wouldn't have Pat Woods gravely arraigned before a committee with the view of showing the existence in this community of feelings which if they do exist, Congress should endeavor to assuage rather than aggravate. By acting upon a wise and conciliatory plan. they would win over thousands whose aversion they provoke by impolicy and persecution. We like the spirit of the "Wheeling Intelligencer, the Republican organ of West Virginia. It is liberal and practical. It tiles of persecution and relentlessness, and I of carpet-bagger strategy and sympathy. Its measures are above these things. It advises the Republican party in that State to take " open and honest ground" in reference to public questions, and among, these it names that of paying a share of the public debt of Virginia. For this we sincerely commend the course of the Intelligencer. "Open and honest, ground" would leave no room for national legislation with the view to fomenting sectional jealousies. A platform on such ground would pass the severest censure upon the inquisition under General Butler to ascertain whether or not the blow struck Porter between the eyes by Pat Woods was an expression of the general contempt of this community for members of Congress. That sort of thing could not find endorsement in any open and I honest platform. Power, indeed, may be liberal, and would commend itself by being so. Were the Republican party to-morrow morning to renounce its little meannesses of the Pat Woods order, and repudiate all its connivances at the rascalities of carpet-baggers, and abandon all its illiberalities and persecutions of the southern people-indeed, its whole system of legislating its blatant partisans into oflice-it would then occupy "open and honest ground." Thousands and hundreds.of thousands who curse them to-day would bless them tomorrow, and the party would be on the surest possible way to the prolongation of its ascendancy." Why might not Republicans do this? . Axe we not citizens of the United States? Can they make the United States stronger and happier by irritating us by every sort of exhibition of distrust and suspicion, and every species of imputation and insult and menace ? Will their people be happier for this? Does it make their own nights and days more delightful ? Let them beware of folly and partisan passion, which lead to disappointment and defeat. Let them be wise in time, and try to establish peace in the nation, harmony amongst the sections, and content amongst the people; so shall their days be long in the land and the Government be strengthened in the hearts and arms of the people.

We speak very sincerely when we Bay that we have been mortified at the course of Senator Lewis, of this State. He triumphed with the Conservatives and True Republicans?he was the second in honor upon the ticket. He was afterwards nominated by a convention almost entirely Conservative for the post of senator of tbe United States, ajul was elected with great unanimity. He was present in the cityknew all the proceedings?suffered his nomination and election without a word of objection or explanation as to his own position. He thus clearly acquiesced in the views entertained by those who elected him?that he was a moderate Republican? that ho was for moderate measures?the removal of disabilities and the restoration of harmony and freedom from the policy of pains and penalties. The moment he went to Washington he disappointed the expectations of those who elected him. They would have been content had he sought association in politics with Trumbull and men of his class?lawyers who understood law, and honest men, who were disposed to respect it. But he did not. On the contrary, he became allied with Sumnkr, and Drake, and Chandler. He has been active in ultraism. In every ph;i.se of the Georgia case we believe he has;voted with Scmner. He lias meddled in. filings very low?such as tbe Mayor's election in Washington?and always on the most ultra and relentless side. The last part he played was in company, with that embodiment of all uncharitableness Senator Morton to make an effort to induce General Grant to withdraw the name of {Mr. Akerman, of Georgia, from nomination for the office of Attor-ney-General. Mr. Akerman is certainly not; especially pleasing to us, but on the *eore of difference between ourselves and any man with reference to the late civil strife we have long ceased to raise insuperable objections, as have the southern people. We all honor the frank and inanly spirit who -consistently opposed us, and who, now that war is over, desires peace, and desires to see the people of the South treated as citizens, not as slaves. But Mr. Lewis does not meet us on that ground, it seems. He cannot forgive. Notwithstanding he contracted to cast cannon for the Southern Confederacy he cannot forgivo Akerman, the Union man, for serving briefly on Toombs's staff to avoid conscription and compulsory service during the late war. That is a different thing from casting cannon! We do hope that Colonel Lewis, for the great nasie he bears, will review his record and take a new latitude and departure, (Certainly there is nothing in the office of senator which requires him to meddle in the petty elections in Washington nor to endeavor to increase the rigors and mortifications of his fellow-citizens. If our correspondents will remember that there are hundreds of first-eluss female schools in Virginia they will excuse us for not beginning the work of publishing long reports of their exhibitions, examinations, concerts, &c. We can get through with half?dozen colleges, the University, the Military Institute, &c., with credit to ourselves aud pleasure to our loaders, but we "must draw the line somewhere."

By a concatenation of circumstances, which it is needless to enumerate, I they are beset with moralities and idea* ?hat the rest of mankind do not admire, j &nd whl^h have swelled their gains in pro-1 portion to the extent to which their claim J upon the esteem of the world has been I diminished I j Avarice is the great sin that is the father of the flock that has so many colors. All the strange moral and social systems which I have Infested this continent have had their birth east of the Hudson river> and every I one of them has been employed for decep-1 tion and money-making 1 The only slave chips ever known in this land went from I !Ncw England?and we believe* the only dealers in slaves upon the Afri'fiah tomt, I the swappers of iTiSW fcngland rum for captured Africans, were New Englanders. j And who has made so much ftiss over j slavery and so much political capital out of I it as the descendant of the slave-trader j upon the high seas who sailed from a New England port ? Who riots in the persecu- j tions of the South on account of slavery so I much is the men who now inherit the gains I Of the trade in slaves and New England rum? . ! That is a question Wc should like to see j answered. But to the real theme of this article j I ? Recently the journeymen shoemakers of I Massachusetts and their employers have had } '* old works." The former wanted a larger I share of the gains -which have made so many I millionaires, with their fine establishments J and whited sepulchres In the shade ahd on the hills of Massachusetts. And the latter wouldn't give an inch. Nay, they demanded a reduction during the summer J season in the pay-of the journeyman from * ?10 a case to a case." The*journey men J took the studs, and so work stopped aud J shops were shut. But employers couldn't ] stand that. They hit upon an expedient. Chinamen could be had, and for China men the\ immediately sent, and they got them. The journeymen?now derisively called " Knights of Crispin" in the New England papers?held meetings, as our readers taiow, and inveighed against the introduction of Chinese as a degradation of labor and an outrage upon the country. But what they say only creates a little fun in New England. The manufacturers see that they have got them,and nobody onjovs " tri"!"r,h Jn a struggle for the mastery more than they in New England, and tho m. umph is inconceivably enhanced when it brings financial advantage with it. ?A messenger was sent to California, and forthwith brought to New England the Chinamen. Their arrival created a bright satisfaction, like that amongst the little people of the homestead upon the hatching of a brood of young ducks. They were scanned with delight by everybody but the journeymen shoemakers. Their smooth, beardless faces, their long tails, their fans, and their little shoes I Oh, my ! And, above ill, their little hands, which would peg aud ?ew shoes so nicely I They were exquisite, fhey were immediately "inducted into Dffice " at a low price for a term of years, with their foreman and their cook to keep their accounts and defend their rights. Enthusiastic accounts are given in the papers of these new recruits in the war with the Crispins. We observe in an elaborate iescription of their mode of living a characteristic pleasure in explaining how cheaply 'hey live, and how little expense attends their personal economy. They sleep in bunks like those iu a ship, and so, under tiie >amc roof under which they work, tbey all speedily "tumble in," and draw their curtains before them to sleep. And this economy of space and grouping of very many v\ itliin the narrow space of a single room is contemplated with delight by those who have exhausted columns of abuse of the southern planters for giving to one or two negroes, or a family, a comfortable log cabin, with plenty of wood, in a gentle climate. We observe another thing in the newspaper outgivings concerning this army of Chinese brought in to overcome the white laborers. There is the old disposition to praise and make the most of the animal or thing that subserves the present purpose of economy or gain. The Chinese are represented as exceedingly smart and gentle, as not being engaged in " smoking nor drink- " ing, talking obscenity nor quarrelling, as " some classes of immigrants I wot of u would likely to be," says a correspondent of the Boston Daily Advertiser. Exactly ! Of course this New Englander means that these Chinese are not thus engaged, like Irish and Germans I The same correspondent, interviewing the new shoe-making recruits, continues the comparison to the disparagement of the white race :

' Your people can all read,' I observed to Ah Sing. 4 We have some immigrants come here who can't read.' "It is edifying to Watch the Chinaman's amazement. * In o read English, you mean ?' U i Some who cannot read at all, in their own language.' i(l What for not learn when children ? Lazy? Bad? Fool?4" There you are, you German and Irish ? What fools you are! These fine, longtailed, beardless, copper-colored men, who make the Hhoe so cheaply, are the glorious men for the times! Get out of the way, you nuisances! The delighted T\ew Englander speaks of the general neatness of these Chinese and their orderly and intelligent behavior. He brings them directly in contact with tlie Irish by saying that as they were brought across the country when they met the tide of western (white) emigration they were the objects of ridicule, and that a drunken Irishman at one place entered the Chinamen's car and presented a pistol at one of them, when " Ah Sing" seized the pistol, held it aloft, and presenting another at the ? Irishman's breast, backed him out of the car and down the steps! Pretty strong; and intended to exalt the Chinaman and m ike the Irishman a brute. Of course nobody believes that. All this is nothing, only an illustration of the unscrupulous partisanry shown in ftew England for the time being in behalf of ideas and things espoused, and which are so often in the line of pecuniary advantage. So the negro has been praiBed?so he bus been exalted above tho white man?and so he has been used. And yet when they wauted to overcome the white journeyman shoemaker they came not down here to procure the admired negro to aid them, but went two thousand miles farther after the Chinaman, agreeing to pack him up when he dies and send him back to China to be buried. He is so cheap, so willing, so quiet, and don't give trouble?making shoes and Jiving in a little box. Oh, inoorhparable Chinaman I We are sure, they add, "bo Is more useful than the negro 1" And this is the latest little game of New

England.

Sincerely we trust that a check may be put upon the importation of Chinamen into New England. "We know they will sjpread from that pandora's box of evils ; and whatever New England may say of the Chinese, j comparing them with the white race to its j disadvantage, we know it is not true.' A' more filthy, obscene, lying race of mankind j JiVes not on the globe ; and labor, the vital source of the greatest power of the body politic, cannot be more degfaded by any other race on earth.

The superior organization and great extent oi the Companv'a Works at Waltham enable them to produce watches at a prico which renders competition futile, and those who buy any other watch merely pay from twenty-five to fifty per cent, more forthelr watches than is necessary. We are now selling WALTHAM WATCHES at less prices in greenbacks than the gold prices before the war. There is no other manufacture of any kind in the United States of which this can be said. These time-pieces combine every improvement that a long experience has proved of real ^practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-making originating in this country or In Europe, only tlnse were finally adopted which severe testing by the most skilful artisans in our works, and long usoon the part of the public, demonstrated to be essential to correct and enduring time-keeping. Among the many Improvements we would particularize: , ; ? : The Invention and use of a centre-ptnjon of pe ^uliar construction, to prevent damage to the train by the breakage of main springs, is original with the American Watch Company, who, having had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted Fogg's Patent Pinion as being the best and faultless. " " Hardened aud tempered hair-springs, now universally admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are used in ail grades of Waltham Watches. ~ ' All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, protecting the movemont from dust and lessening tho necessity ol'the frequent cleaning necessary In other watches. Oor new patent STEM-WINDER, or KEYLiE.jS WATCH, is already a decided success and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch ! in the American market, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality now offered to the public. To those living in portions of the United States where watchmakers do not abound, watches with the ! above-mentioned improvements, which, tendjto In- j sure accuracy, cleanliness, durability, and con- ! venleuce, must prove Invaluable* Every watch GUARANTEED by the Company. To prevent Imposition, buyers should see that every watch should bear either of the following trade-marks : American Watch Co ^......Waltham, Mass.; Amn. Watch Co...... ...Waltham, Mass.; American Watch Co., Crescentst., 'j;'.'," Walthim, Mass.; Applcton, Tracy ft Co Waltham, Mass.; Waltham Watch Co Waltham, Mass. ; V. 8. Bartlett..
