We learn from a reliable source that this
important work is advancing with proper
irnpv c^:nMa 9 i a Q in ia an qq
few days, a cuuiuiotiuovuj miu pnwrcr*
jn^ spirit has attended this great undertak
ing, destined we trust to open an outlet for
the richest and most extensive coal deposit
in the State. Lauds in Hampshire County,
not long since valued at a few cents an acre,
have risen to the value of hundreds of dollars
an acre. Once scarcely deemed worthy of
claim, they now take up one half the time of
the courts to adjust the titles of numerous lit
igants.
A favorable omen to the cause of Virginia
improvement, is the recent advance of State
,tock in New York. It is now above par—
not many months ago it sold at 87. The Al
exandria, Loudoun, and Hampshire. Railroad,
between the West bank of the Shenandoah
and the Hampshire coal fields, heretofore un
generously denied a State subscription, will,
we trust, be among the first to receive its ap
propriate aid from the corniug Legislature.

A
Th« Wheat Crop.
Apprehensions are felt for the safety of
the wheat from rust. This is the greatest
enemy the farmer has to contend with, and
the lateness of the harvest increases the
chance of injury from its inroads. The
weather of late has been showery and sul
try. On Sunday afternoon an inch of raiu
fell here in the short space of twelve mio
1 utes. It did great injury to the north of
us, to the corn fields and fences. Scarce
t a wheat field has been cut in Frederick,
and but little harvest work will be done
before the comiug week. In Shenandoah
I and the counties above, much of the wheat
1 is in shock, but with no flattering prospect
of a good yield. We hear of a farmer iu
Clarke who means to start three reaping uia
1 chines to-morrow, though the crop in that
fertile county we are iuformed will not ex
ceed an average of six bushels to the acre.
Such, we regret to say is also the character
of the crop in Frederick.— Win. Virginian.
Enterprise.
The Harpers had the bill for their new
building, amounting to two hundred thou
sand dollars, sent in a few days ago for pay- |
ineut. Besides the building, are thirty-three j
presses, which cost about two thousand dot
I iars each, a variety of other machinery, en- *
gines, stock, ito. The new premises have
been occupied a little more than a month.— 1
Not far from six hundred persons are em- j
i ployed, aud most of the valuable standard
works have already been reprinted. The ■
scale of operations is about the same as be- j
fore the conflagration, hut the facilities tor
manufacturing are greatly improved.
Polish Exiles.
In 18o4 an act of Congress was passed, [
granting certain lands to the Polish exiles j
who came to tiis country in an Austrian 1
frigate. It turned out that the lands selec- J
; ted for them were claimed by preemption ists, |
| and in behalf of the latter, Congress iuter
| posed by a law—1842. I ruler these circum
' stances, while the claims of the Poles stand
i admitted on the statute book, the Executive i
' has no power to afford them relief, unless
! Congress shall further legislate by specifying
the manner in which the claim shall be sat
isfied.— Washington Star.

Silk.
According to a Circular which has just
been issued by M. Dutour, ot Lyons, the re
| suits of the new crop of silk may be estiuia
ted as follows:—In France a very satisfacto
! ry yield, tine weather having lately dissipa
! ted every cause of danger. Iu Naples, Spain
and Piedmont, a short crop. With regard
to Lombardy, the accounts arc conflicting,
but such cases of failure that are reported
appear to be local. In the markets, both at
St. Etieune and Lyons the transactions ap
pear very active, and prices are well main
tained.
WatcH Manufactory.
Watches, equal to the best imported, are
manufactured in the suburban town ot
Waltham, Mass. The prices for which these
| are sold range from $20 to $200 each, at re
tail. A large building lias been erected on
the south side of Charles river, which is kept
! closed against intrusive eyes. The company
is doing a large business, and the day is not
tar distant, we apprehend, when Waltham
watches will be as famous and valuable as
the best from London, Paris, and the Euro
pean cities generaHy^^^^^
Don’t do It.
Never make use ot an honest woman s
j name in an improper place, at an improper
j time, or in » mixed company. Never muk**
f assertions about her that you think are un
j true, allusions that you teel she herselt would
j blush to hear. When you meet with men
who do not scruple to make use of a woman s
name in a reckless manner, shun them, tor
they are the very worst members of the com
munity—men lost to every acuse of honor,
every feeling of humanity.
[Communicated.
The late rainy weather has very much re
tarded harvest operations in this region ot
country, and the winds, which have invaria
bly accompanied, have so completely prostrat
ed’the wheat, that a largo portion cannot be
out with the scythe or otherwise saved, con
sequently, the loss to the tanning community
over a large district of country must bo very

woods or about the shore—each to their taste.
The happy company left the White House
at live, reaching our city by six o’clock, with

this city, on F street, a few doors in front of the
Treasury Department, tenders his services to
claimants upon the government, especially for
revolutionary services, and for land bountits and
pensions under the recent acts ol Congress.
Having purchased the manuscripts of the late
David Dorrington. he has. perhaps, the only in
dex which was ever made to the immense mass
of revolutionary papers in the first Auditor's
office in Richmond. He has also a very copi
ous index to the papers in all the other public
offices in the Capitol of Virginia. These, and
the accumulations from other sources of twen
ty years* experience, entitle him to hope that if
a claim intrusted to him be just, he will be able
to show it, even where the claimant himself
may be entirely unable to do it.
For claims under the recent act of .'id March,

residue thereof, to execute bonds with approved
