those talented artises Mr.. and Mrs Barney Williams,
on which occasion they will appear three of their ia
vorte characters As personator of the sons of the
Emerald Isle, Mr.. Williams may be said to be une-
qualled; it may be truly said that the mantle Of
the late lamented Tyrone Power, has fallen on him.
All who have witnessedhis performances for the past
three nights have retired from the Theatre not only sa
tisfed but delighted. AS Dialect Actress Mrs Will

tests the right of Col. R. H. Weightman to a
seat in Congress from that territory. In his Pc

We are glad TO learn that, Notwithstanding
the adverse report made in the Senate, on the
bill relating to the claims OF Virginia upon the
General Government, transferred to the Orange
and Alexandra Railroad, the attention of SEN
ators and Representatives has been fayorably
directed TO the subject-and that there is is a
good prospect that the bill will ultimately pase.

Bill for Distrieting the Counties.


The House of Delegates snow engaged in the
consideration of a bill for dstricting the counties
of the State The subject is one which pos
sesses much interest for our country readers, and
as the bill now pending will doubtless be adopt
ed without material alteration, we give an alb
stract of its provisions.
1t is provided that the persons named in the
bill as Commissioners for the several counties
shall be authorised, a maority OF those named
for county being sufficient to act, to lay of
their respective counties into a specified num-
Der of districts, as nearly equal as may be IN
territory and population. The said commission
ers shall establish place for opening poll in
each district for all elections in this common
wealth, and shall not establish more than two
sucn places in any district. The Court Houses
of the different counties shall be the place or
one of the places, of voting in the districts In
which they may be situated. All other places
of voting are abolished.
The Commissioners shall meet at theirrespec-
tive court houses on the second Thursday in
April and proceed to the performance OF their
duties They shall receive for their services
one dollar and fifty cents per day for every day
they shall be actually engaged in performing
the duties confded to them, to be paid out of
the county treasury.
The bill further provides that the County
Courts shall have power to re-arange the dis
tricts and change the places of holding elections.
A proposition is now pending to strike out this
clause.
The last section of the bill merely sets forth
the number of districts and the number and
names of the commissioners in each county
We hope to be able to publish this section in full
in few DAYS

DEATH OF THE WIFE OF MISSIONARY
We learn that letters have been received in this
city from China, down to January of the present
year. One of the letters communicates the me-
lancholy tidings of the DEATH at Shanghae, of
Mrs. E. c. Shuck, wife of Rev. J. l.. Shuck, a
native of Virginia, but for several years past
connected with the Baptist Missionary enter
prise In China. Mrs. Shuck died towards the
close OF November of last year. She too, was
native of Virginia, but had only recently
reached the scene of her abours. She was
lady eminent for piety-one in whose life all
the christian graces were tremendously blen.
ded-and her untimely death, in foreign and a
heather land, will be sincerely deplored.

ne company cannon learn OF any company in
the United States going into operation where
SO much can be, and has been accomplished, at
so small an outlay.
The company have the choice of an unlimited
home market in the'steamers of the Ohio
They have the neighboring cities of Cincinnati
and Louisville anxious to become large consul
mers both for gus and domestic purposes. The
sugar makers on the Mississippi, and the more
distant city of New Orleans. leave nothing to
wish for in this respect. The company add
that the Goals can be mined cheaper than any
other kind of coal, fiom the entire absence of
slack or waste and it is thought that their supe-
rior qualities, will always and for all purposes
command decided preference.
The company have developed m any of their
mines, various entries and rooms have been driv-
en- to an aggregate distance of 500 feet. A
train road has been made miles in length,
whereon to convey their Goals into cars,
to their depot or loading place at the riv-
er, where it is discharged into the boats
ready for shipment, with cars, work shops,
and buildings necessary for carrying on
large business. A steam saw mill has been
erected, and is now in use. The value of the
company's Camel and Bitumen coal for gene
rating steam is acknowledged by all, the alb
sence of sulphur and resdium, which in COM
mon Goals prove so destructive to crate bars
speaks strongly in their favor. Their ready
ignition and profuse flame, is desideratum in
steam boat fuels Camel and Btumen Goals,
preeminence above all other Goals, con-
sists in their indestructibility, and the pro-
perty they possess of remaining uuinured
or unimpaired by any length of expo

possibility of spontaneous combustion in the
hold of vessels, is another important feature
