1)AXVIIX*, Va. t Octolier 27th, 1881.???It is
pleasant to pc able to turn from the busy bus-
. tie of politics to the contemplation of things
more nearly affecting the material anil social
life of the Old Dominion.
There is little in politics worth writing
about. I did intend to give you a pen pic
ture of the sextette that is leading the rebell
ion bore against the democratic party, not
only of Virginia, but of the nation.
Mahonc, Wise, Uiddlcberger, Cnmoron,
Owner and Massey, are the men who desert
ed the democratic party localise they could
not govern it, and have seized the debt ques
tion as the wedge to split the party and give
them control of the oftices. They have ar
rayed the poor man against the rich, and
given force to a conflict of caste, under the
guise of securing the freedom of the ballot
and the purity of elections.
What the outcome may he, ami what it
means for the future of Virginia, no man can
now tell. The history of the world teaches
that an issue of caste may he a dangerous
one; and it may yet prove so in Virginia. I
will give you a pen picture of the six rebels,
when 1 can get one or two points with which
to complete the sketch.
There arc really many things in the social
and industrial life of Virvinia that are inter
esting. The old state is also so full of history
that you do not mount a hillock or travel a
vale that does not recall some tradition worthy
of reproduction. The place from which I
write is the busiest town in the south, except
Atlanta. There arc more neat and handsome
residences here than I ever saw in any place
of equal size in all the southland. It reminds
you of a miniature Atlanta, or a thriving
western town. The houses are mostly new,
and arc surrounded by beautiful yards pro
fusely decorated with 'flowers, shrubbery and
shade trees. The principal thoroughfare run
ning through tiie town quite forcibly recalls
l???eachtrce street, although it is by no means a
match for it. The people, too, are full of dash
and business vigor, fully comprehending that
the world has not stood' still for two decades.
As in Atlanta, the people here are bold in
business and affable in social intercourse.
Every man stands upon his own bottom and
wins or loses in the busy struggle by his en
ergy, merit and luck. There seem to he no
poor people here. Every one seems at work
and thrifty.
There appears to he no room for idlers, and
the ten thousand people who make up the
inhabitants of Danville are all out of the poor-
house, and on the road to prosperity.
Danville is the capital of the tobacco-grow
ing region of southwestern Virginia and west
ern North Carolina, a thriving section of
beautiful rolling lauds, which yield millions
of dollars??? wortli of the finest tobacco for
chewing and smoking purposes gathered any
where. It is the greatest market for leaf to
bacco in the country.
Thirty-four million pounds was sold in this
place last year at an average of thirteen dol
lars and eighty cents per hundred pounds.
This brought ??4,092,000 to the farmers of the
Piedmont region. The forty odd great tobac-
- co manufacturers here worked tivo million
pounds of the loaf into the best grades of
twist, plug and smoking tobacco known in
the world. This gave employment to five
thousand people, who demanded nhd received
a lialf a million dollars for their labor. The
government exacted a tax of a million dollars
upon the leaf tobacco manufactured in this
section of Virginia. Yet nearly thirty mil
lion pounds of the leaf grown here was scat
tered over the world to he manufactured.
These statistics tell why Danville is a thriv
ing town. 1 Young men do /its work and con
trol its destinies. The very nature of the to
bacco business demands young blood and
brains. The whole of the tobacco product of
this section is brought to Danville, and there
arc nine great warehouses when it is sold at
auction under rules proscribed by a board of
trade. In these warehouses each fanner???s to
bacco is placed in piles, eacli grade by itself.
Two warehouses are permitted to self at the
same time, and the board of trade designates
the order in whicli the houses shall eacli day
sell.
It is a curious sight indeed to visit one of
these tobacco sales. The scene remindsonc of
flic clamor and friendly encounter which one
can witness any day in the stock exchange in
New York, or the grain exchange in Chicago.
Here, as there, hundreds of young men are
gathered, full of adventurous spirit, each
striving toget farthest into the fever of specu
lation, and ahead in the hunt for rapid
wealth.
The rules of the'bonrd require the auctioneer
to sell ninety piles of tobacco an hour, and it
therefore takes nerve, judgment and quick
decision for a buyer to keep pace with the
auctioneer, and to got liis share of the golden
product at a living price.
There are no old men to lie seen on the ex
change. It is purely a conilict of young blood
and brains.
Competition is so great that combination
against the producer is impossible, for foreign
buyers are iVnstantlv contesting with home
manufacturers for the control of the product.
This protects the grower and gives him a
better price for liis tobacco than lie could ob
tain at private sale. There are. therefore, no
private sales. Eacli farmer prefers to run liis
chances in the hazard of the auction.
Tiie tobacco crop in this region is short this
year. Tiie best authority here dors not think
it will exceed twenty million pohnds, which
would Ik* more than one-third less than it
was last year. The tobacco, too, is of poor
qiuflity, so the manufacturers say, and taking
it all in aW, the excessively dry- summer ap
pears to have injured tiie tobacco crop much
more than it did tiie cotton.
There are many other interesting points
alaiut. tin* material resources of Danville and
tiie Piedmont region, of which it is the capi
tal. that press for notice, hut I deal with the
tobacco product because it is the great in
dustry of the place. It is grow
ing in importance every year.
Unlike tiie tobacco grown * in other
sections of our country tho color to a great
extent regulates tiie price. The lighter the
color the more valuable it is. and as tiie uin
lands impart a brighter color to tiie leaf they
are mostly used for its growth. It is proba
bly tiie only instance in husbandry where tiia
poverty of land increases tiie value of the
product.
Danville, besides being a busy, thriving
town, and tiie center of the greatest tobacco
region in the country, has a history full of in-,
torest and importance.
It was the last permanent seat of the con
federate government. It was the place chosen
by Jeff Davis wherein to make a stand
alter Richmond fell and Grant was
pushing Lee toward Appomattox. It was here
that tiie last meeting of tiie confederate cabi
net took place, although all of them, except j
Benjamin, met Davis in Washington, Georgia, i
afterward. I dined in the same room, and
at the same table where they ate their last
meal together, and discussed the questions '
naturally uppermost in tlieir minds, upon tiie j
eve of the final dissolution of the, confederacy.
Tiie place where this memorable meeting
took place, is at the head of tiie principal
street leading down to the business part of the
town. It is one of l he oldest homes and most
magnificent places in all Danville.
The old, time-stained mansion sits well
back from the street, in the midst of a grove
Rut a short distance from this house was
tiie Danville hank, of which Major Sutherlin
was the president. In this bnilding was de
posited, during Mr. Davis???s stay here, all the
gold and silver tiiat belonged to the confed
eracy. Humphrey Marshall came here and
tried to iaducc Mr. Davis to divide the treas
ure with him, and authorize him to raise re
cruits for guerilla service. Mr. Davis refused,
saying:
"The money is not mine to dispose of. It
is the treasure of the confederate government,
and the legislative power must direct its dis
bursement.??????
t><.nerai Marshall was very angrV at Mr.
Davis???s refusal, hut he did not show it in his
presence. He was very bitter in liis criticism
???it Mr. I)uvis afterwards.
???It was at this very table." said Major
iuthcrlin to me, as we sat at the spacious
mahogany, filled witli good tilings to eat and
drink, ???that Mr. Davis took his last meal with
???is full cabinet. It was anything but a pleas-
int occasion. They discussed the situation
with much warmth, and the prospects of suc-
???ess were talked over with great freedom.
Finally the question came as to what should
i??c done in case of actual dissolution. It was
>bought probable that Davis and the whole
??????abinet would he obligedd to Hy the country,
ind almost immediately the' question was
tsked:
???How can we get away?"
"Each man then gave a statement of his
financial condition; that is, how much gold
>r silver he had on hand in case it was found
accessary to leave the country. The count
icgun with Breckinridge. He had something
ike two hundred dollars, and every man
iround tiie table had from fifty to five hun-
ircil dollars. Mr. Davis never said a word
while tiie count was going on, but when it
line liis turn to speak, said:
"I haven???t a cent of money that will pass
outside of the Confederate States. I haven't
???i dollar of gold or silver. I think I have the
confederate money I drew for my last month???s
salary. That is all.??? ,
Other subjects came up and the talk about
money was dropped.
The next day the news came that General
Lee had surrendered, and Mr. Davis began to
make a hurried preparation to go south.
I shall never forget the day he started.
There had been quite an amount of commis
sary stores gathered here, and as they could
not he removed they were abandoned, and the
citizens, negroes, camp-followers, and the
weary and foot-sore soldiers of Lee???s army
who liad reached here on their way south,
fell upon the dying confederacy and carried
off whatever was portable. None who wit
nessed the sight will ever forget it, and there
is many a confederate soldier still living who
remembers the ludicrousand sometimes angry
scenes of the (Sunday when Danville was
evacuated.
i drove Mr. Davis to the station when he
took the train for the south, and an amusing
incident occurred, whicli I frequently recall.
It was almost dusk, and as we drove out of
the grounils and got fairly into the street,
.... ..lie came ruling up neb inti the carriage
nd shouted to my driver at the top of his
nice, ???Hello! Hello!??? I paid no attention,
nd drove on, but the rider was so persistent
!iat I told the driver to stop. As I did so,
ti officer whom I did not recognize rode up
'<??? the carriage and asked if Mr. Davis was
inside.
Mr. Davis recognized him and said, ???Good
veiling, General St. Johns.???
???Good evening, Mr. President,??? replied the
hief commissary of the confederacy. ???I hur-
icd on here,??? continued General St. Johns,
as soon as I could. Mr. President, to assure
ou sir. that General Lee???s capitulation wasin
nowise due to a lack of commissary stores.
Mr. Davis smiled and said: ???I am very
glad to hear it, General St. Johns.???
We drove on and the officer left, apparent
ly satisfied. I couldn???t, help thinking what
sarcasm there was in his assurance to Mr.
Davis that an army that had been lialfstarved
for a year had finally surrendered with full
stomachs and plenty in their haversacks.
There was a very touching incident attend-
ng Mr. Davis???s departure from Danville. I
si not been very well the winter before the
surrender, and had gathered together what
gold aijd silver I could to be prepared for an
emergency. I had a thousand dollars and
gave it to my wife. She heard the conversa
tion at tile dinner table and heard Mr. Davis
say that lie had not a dollar that would pass
current outside of the confederacy. She
sewed up a plain cotton bag and put the
thousand dollars I had given her into it.
???Give that to Mr. Davis,??? said she, as I was
entering the carriage to go with him to the
depot.
Just before the train was ready to start, as I
took his hand to bid him good-bye, I pressed
the bag containing the gold into it saying:
???My wife handed me this for you. She
hopes you will accept it as a token of her
esteem.??????
When he felt wliat wnsTn the bag, his eyes
filled with tears, and he handed it back to me
quickly, and emphatically declined to receive
it, exclaiming:
???Is it possible that onr cause can fail with
such evidences of devotion as this on the part
of onr noble women!??????
A moment later the train moved off, and
Jeff Davis left Danville without a dollar, save
the few confederate notes lie had received for
one months services, as president of the con
federacy. F. A. B.
