The high prices of shad and herring, con sequent upon the vastly increased demand ;ind failing supply, is directing the atten tion of the property owners of Eastern Virginia to the vast importance of protect ing and fostering this source of wealth. All parties interested in the fisheries, inclu ding not only the shore owners, but also '-illers and renters of fishing shores, should meet at an early day to consider the whole subject aud recommend to the next legis lature a definite plan of action. Prof. 1 !»ird, the United States fish commissioner, on behalf of the general government, has bogun the work of restocking the rivers with fish. Seth Green, with his assistants, will soon bo here to introduce millions of young shad into the waters of the upper Potomac. These fish will in due time re turn, having grown to eatable size in the rich pastures of the briny deep. An op portunity will thus be afforded to learn the mode of hatching and after-treatment nf the fish spawn, and it is to be hoped that as many as possible of our fishermen will improve it. Every young fish hatched in our creeks, which survives and goes out to sea, seeks to return to the spot where it first be gan its life at each spawning season. When it has grown to maturity it goes back to deposit its own spawn in turn. Thus the permanence of the supply is pro vided for • at every fishing shore along the principal streams. Taking advantage of this natural law, it is possible for man to aid materially in the propagation and multipli cation of the valuable fishes which inhabit the rivers or ascend them annually to de posit their spawn. I n natural spawning vast quantities of the spawn are destroyed before hatching. Another large portion are eaten up by vo racious fishes just after emerging from the egg. At times the supply of food at the hatching grounds is insufficient while the young fish are too feeble to move far to seek it. These conditions may bo so mod ified by human aid as to save a vastly in creased proportion of the young fish, and secure their safe passage to the ocean, where they find secure feeding grounds, es pecially adapted by temperature, d«pth and other conditions, to foster their health ful growth. The certainty of their return justifies the necessary outlay, and enables tho fisherman to rely with certainty upon the reward of his labor. Ho plants the roc of the fish in the water as he plants corn in the ground, lie tends and cares for it till the young are well grown, and commits them to the waters with unshaken confidence in a sure return. The chief difference between this and the labors of the agriculturalist is, that whereas one farmer may raise a good crop of corn or wheat without the aid of his neighbor, the crop ot fish requires co operation among all those engaged in fish ing. Wherever a net is put in the water to take out fish, then as union ripe fish spawn as possible should be annually planted. This would not only restore the old supply, but tend to increase it so as to keep up with the steadily growing demand. The whole nation is interested in maintain ing this source of cheap and nutritious food. The incidental value of the fish offal for manure is also no small part of the in come of the fishing shores. This product may be Increased with the marketable fish and by the same means. The fertility of the worn lands of Eastern Virginia may be restored by this means. The marl, muck and fish offal, which the tide-water region furnishes enables the farmer to command unl'u.ited means of improving his soils. Thus nature has provided for repairing the waste which the land suffers by the washing of its organic products Into the sea, while she furnishes an abundance of the choicest and most nutricious food fresh from the ocean depths. Only reasonable care and forethought is required to make the supply as reliable as that derived from the land. Iv Europe fish culture has be come an established -industry, attended with sure returns. With general co-opera tion, this pursuit may be far more widely profitable here. We trust that the present opportunity will be improved to witness the experiments of Seth Green, and that it will be made the starting point of a wel 1 directod and persistent effort to fill our streams to their utmost feeding capacity with valuable fish. Hullo too Fur. It is asserted that all coopers who d<> not belong to the guild of the trade are to have their business crushed out by order of tho " Grand Master of the Union," who lives at Cleveland, Ohio. Accordingly, the New York coopers have struck in a body and refuse to work for any one who uses barrels made in New England. The ground of complaint against the non-un ion coopers is, that they make more bar rels for less money than tfio members of the trades union. Last spring, the New York coopers began a similar strike, in which there was great disturbance to the business of the city, and several brutal assaults made ou non-unionists. Our sym pathies are keenly alive to all such com plaints as are reasonably urged by trades unions against the oppressions of capital; an 1 we would be the last person in the over their legitimate interests. But when it comes to waging a sectional war against any branch of the laboring craft, like the non-union coopers of New Eng land, it is resorting to a species of oppres sion and outrage which will not be tolerated by our people. In a free country, every man clearly has the right to work for whom he pleases and at such wages as lie pleases to take. How quickly would these same -nen resent the efforts made by others, non-union coopers lor instance, to prevent the employment of any and every man connected with their unions, and to put a public prohibition upon the sale of barrels made by them or any of them ? It is a poor rule—not to say an infamous one— which works only one way. West Virciinia is an excellent Demo cratic state. Its new constitution imbodies, In Us declaration of rights, all the thirty nine articles of simon-pure Democracy, which affords the highest possible evidence that she is still Virginian to the core, if she has been abscinded and cut off from the parental stem. In such a state—with such a constitution—such a parentage, such a glorious " bill of rights," and such histo ric splendor playing around its heraldic escutcheon—what but tho best government in the wide civilized world should bo seen, gloried in, aud admired ? But, alas, in mu tation of these evil times and more evil prccedot.fci, she has a small gangrenous war on her hands which threatens destruc tion to the whole body politic. The legislature has got at loggerheads with the governor, and the governor with the legislature, in respect to the new officers for the various public institutions of the state. These officers were directed to take possession on Ist of May, but when some of them appeared at the penitentiary on the day named they found the superintend ent of that institution entrenched and pre pared to defend himself, lie had received orders from Governor Jacobs to shoot any man who attempted to meddle with his bu siness, and he proposed to execute the or der to the letter. The disappointed officials withdrew for consideration, at which point the-report stops. Is it possible that a "Lou isiana Muddle" can afflict such an exem plary Democratic state as West Virginia ? In the name of the resolutions of '98, let Democracy, and its benign stars, forbid ! " Is Mr. Beecher othordox?" anxiously asks a correspondent of The Old School Presbyterian. Not dangerously so, we hope. He manages, at all events, to throw out a great many new and splendid ideas as well as practical truths ; and thty are just as gooa, and just as applicable to the condition of things to-day, as if they were covered with the dust of centuries. The worst that can be said of Mr. Beecher is, that, when he "goes" for a new truth, he is not at all frightened if he "flushes up" a whole bevy of them at a time—his principal aim in such case being, to bring down the first bird in the flock, and the one that has the most attractive plumage. He revels in beauty, believing that what God has made beautiful was designed to be seen, scruti nized and admired, in spite of all the crusty old dogmas that would put out the eyesight of the human soul. Mr. Boecher has a chronic habit of keeping his eyes open. The most important feature of the new railroad law of Illinois, as recently passed by the legislature of that state, is the section which directs the railroad com missioners appointed under it to make out for each of the railroad companies doing business in tbe state, a schedule of maxi mum rates of charges for the transportation of passengers and freight and cars on each of such railroads, such schedule being deemed and taken, in all suits brought against any such railroad corporation upon a charge of exacting unreasonable rates, as prima facie evidence that the rates named therein are reasonable. But each railroad, of course, renders itself liable to the penalties imposed by the act, if it charges any greater than the maximum rates thus fixed. • The World gives currency to the somewhat startling rumor from "the field of war," that Captain Jack has divided his army of fifty men into three divisions ; the first, under the Captain, is to capture and hold California ; the second is to sweep northward aud subdue Oregon, while the third forces its way over the mountains and sagebrush and devastates Nevada and Utah. What further military operations ar<s con templated by Captain Jack, after this little programme is carried out, the "wag of the World" does not so much as make a guess. The suggestion that bloodhounds bo used against the Modocs, as in the wars with the Seminoles, in Florida, does not meet with favor at the war department; while Gen. Sherman regards it a dishonor able kind of warfare even with the Modocs. — Literary Notices. A F'm Sixo.v. A Novel by Justin McCarthy.
