ADVERTISEMENTS
COL. JAMES HLANGHORNE

1t is with feeling of sincere sorrow that the
tact compels us to announce the demise of this
gentlemen. who was suddenly called from life
to death yesterday morning. in the very blush and
prime of manhood. We learn from his attending
physician that the immediate cause of his decease
was hemorrhage of the bowels. On Friday OF
last week he was slightly ndisposed but on Sun
day he was we'll and partook of green corn at
dinner, which affected his bowels; we learn that
ne was out on Monday, but the disease had fasten-
ed upon him, and on "Wednesday he was corpse.
We believe that Col. Langhorne has left but
few, If any, enemies the announcement of his
death cast general gloom over our whole com
munity. He was a man Of impulse, and If he
ever committed wrong, it was an error of the
head, not Of the heart. He was high minded and
warm in his friendships, and sincere in his pro-
LESSONS. He was the maker of his >wn fortune
and fame. and gained his standing at the bar, BY
his own industry and perseverance. He has left
an amiable widow. and family of young children

e"ce WIZ" Col' IL. whiie living, which separated
MS as friends but we can truly say that we never
for one moment, entertained an unkind thought
towards him; we always respected the man. and
now that the dark pail of death surrounds him. we
hope that his virtues may be given tongue, while
his faults. if he had any, and who is without
them. may be buried in the grave of oblivion.-
We earnestly utter the prayer. Requiescat in

For the New Era
RELIEF FOR OUR BURDENS.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Wil you give the following
an insertion in your valuable paper?
The complaint of hard Times is continually
echoed and re-echoed about our town; and the
worst of the matter is, that there is good ground
for it. Now, there are many causes that have
contributed to bring about this state of things
The want of regular employment in the Navy
Yard the want of private enterprise, and the in
vestment of capital by citizens in works that
would give employment to those who are dis
posed to work the present state of our Rail Road :,
Sc, Sc, all have their share in the matter.
Why is it, then, that the citizens of the tow
content themselves to be quietly taxed and ilched
for the benefit of others, when their own burdens
are more than they can well bear? In other
words, why do submit to pay the taxes of the
county, while we have hanging over us an i'm
mense debt which our utmost exertons will hard
ly enable us to pay? Who pay 99-lO0,hs of the
tolls received at our ferry? Undoubtedly the
good people of Portsmouth. very small portion
is paid by persons from the country The citi-
zens OF Norfolk do not on this side TO trans.
act business, but we 90 there the course of trade
is all that way, not this
Then, if we pay the ferriages, why not allow
us to enjoy the benefit of the keeping such ferry =?
Let us unite in asking of the next Legislature an
Act OF Incorporation for the town, and grant of
the right of Ferry between us and Norfolk.
This will relieve us from the injustice of paying
the taxes of the whole county, (for now the tolls
60 into the county treasury,) and aid US essen
tally in meeting our liabilities which we have
incurred more for the benefit of others. than of
ourselves. A TAX PAYER
