tin. nu, si.i> il.< « ?,iiii, Virginia.Marion is the prettiest and best located

town of any in southwest Virginia. Thewater-power is excellent. Factories arespringing up, and improvements rapidlybeing made. Iron ore of the best qualityis abundant,good limestoneandsandstoneat hand for building purposes, and anexcellent quality of tho latterfor grind andburr stones. A speriousgynsum is presentin inexaustiblequantities,' and it is to thatprobably, in connection with the lime-stone, that this mountain county owesits fertility. The grain and grass areas good as 1 have seen anywherein the state. A great many Yankeesfrom New England, New York and Penn-sylvania have settled here, and have lenttheir energies aud capital to the improve-ment of its dormant resources, its schoolsystem and society. A flourishing lodgeot Good Templars proves the temper-ance spirit of the place. In fact, Marionis the only town in southwest Virginiawhere liquor has been entirely banished.Abingdon, the seat of the Floyds, John-stons and Prestons, is one of the oldestofVirginia town, aud the home of the Abing-don willow, scion of Pope's willowat Twickenham, and the fatherof all willows of his kind inAmerica. It has, however, inspite of its fine mansions, manyof the abominable characteristics of anold Virginia town, among which not theleast are dogs, whisky aud unthrift. Theold mansion of John B. Floyd, (whoseadopted daughter married Colonel Hughes)is now the Jackscn institute, and of Wil-liam Preston, the Martha Washingtoninstitute. A few miles north is Emoryand Henry college, one of the oldest insti-tutions in the state, beautifully located,and according to report, admirably man-aged. The mountaineersare lawless despe-radoes, violating revenue and all otherlaws as will, and in some localities utterlydefying sheriffsand constables. The grandjury of the United States courthavo founda numberof indictments for resisting judi-cial process. On tho whole, the country isrich in naturalresources, but its populationis poor, and naturally still somewhat jeal-ous. The Northern man intending to "im-prove" must havo capital for three yearsstart, andpatience and grit for a dozen.His reward will be fertile fields, near andgood market, and we hope in the end con-

Charges for Springs' Accommo-dation.?Some persons who have visitedthe mountain resorts of Virginia this sea-son and returned, complain of the chargeof$3 per day forboard as an exaction,andassert that they don't get their moneysworth. It would no doubt be found truethat a tariff of prices less steep would in-duce the attendanceof a larger number ofvisitors and tend immensely to popularizethe differentsprings. It costs the springsproprietors abouteighty cents a day,everyexpense included, to board and lodge avisitor, and it is no wonder that occasion-ally some of them feel restive at having todisburse, for oftentimesmedium accommo-dations, two dollarsand twenty-five centsper diem profit to their "hospitableenter-tainers." ' In course of time these irregu-larities will cure themselves. The publicis the goose that lays the golden egg, andit will not tamely submit to be ripped openfor the pecuniary delectation oi any oneman or set of men.

Among the glorious rights reserved tothe people of this commonwealth is thatof procuring a warrant from a justiceofthepeace either with or without cause. Thestate law, aided by the action ol tho peo-ple thereon,supplies any number of jus-tices, and the only requisite for getting awarrant from any of them, [tho want ofcause thereforbeing quite insignificant andnot tobeconsideredat all,] is a preliminaryprefix in the shapeofafifty centfeefor theservice. Some of our morning contempo-raries complain that this free and easymanner of invoking the aid of the lawmultiplies trivial cases and brings the lo-cal judiciary into contempt with all well-conditioned and considerate folks. Thatis about true,but ifthis "inalienableright"was suddenlyabbreviatedweshould hear ahowl of indignation that wouldreach fromone end of the state to the other.. . . _r

AlleoedMail Robbbr ARRESTED.James 11. Buslifield, late postmaster atGuiney's Station, Caroline county, wasarrested on the 25th inst., on a'bench war-rant, in Canandagua, New York, by David11. Parker, esq.. United States marshalfor the eastern district of Virginia, for theembezzlement of postofTice moneys. Hewas sent on from New York to the sceneof his operations at Guiney's Stationin charge of a deputy Uuitcd Statesmarshal, and arrived thence in this cityto-day at 8 minutes past one o'clock, in -charge of E. Lewis, assistant to CaptainJohn Fray, special agent of the postofficedepartment. Bushfield will be examinedto-morrow in this cily befote a UnitedStalescommissioner. He in only oneof ascore of offending officials who have cometo grief through the indefatigable exertionsof Captain .John Prey.

The days of Know-Nothings, dark lan-terns andculvertswasthought by most per-sons tohave expiredin 1855,when GovernorWise administered his dose of ipecac to"Sam," and laid out that hitherto healthyand successful gentleman as flat as a pan-cake,tothe deepregretofhis manyattachedfollowers. We see,however, that the super-intendentof thechain-gang, in making someunderground explorationsa few days ago,drew from a sequesteredculvert, corner ofClay street and Brooke avenue,a porcineobject, that, judging from his woe be-gone appearance, must have been one ofthose Know-Nothings who, in 1855, re-treatedbefore the furious onslaught of theimpetuous Wise. This past prandial K.N. is now at the city jail.

Riverside Park.?The prospect ofhaving pavillion accommodations, as wasin a measure half-way promised this sum-mer, either at Riverside park or iv thevicinity of the three-mile locks, seemsrather slim just at present?if indeed ithas not been given up altogether. Mean-while, parties who wish to escape irom thocity even for a few hours, aro availingthemselves of the pleasure boats, LittleNell and.Dolly Varden, to visit the locali-ties named. These boats are a great con-venience to many, and CommodoreKeller,who engineers the fleet, deserves the re-spectful consideration of the pleasure-seekers for whose benctlt he braves thedangers of the "raging canawl."

Prohibited.?Someweeks since JudgeE. C. Minor,of thecounty court of Henrico,setaside the election in Fairfield township,and thereuponappointedMr.Tho. W. Horn-ingcr andothers to fill the township offices.At this point Mr. S. L. Anable and the oldofficers, through Isaacll. Shields, esq.,theirattorney, moved the circuit court ofHenrico for a writ of prohibition, for-biding the said county judge from qualify-ing his appointees.

Judge Wellford granted a rule on JudgeMinor to show cause why the writ ofpro-hibition should not issue, and to-day,upon argument of counsel, the said writwas issued and the old officers hold over,Judge Minor having assumed jurisdictionwhich did not belong to his court.

Her husband, with affectionatefidelity accompanied her back.
