Certificate Of JOHN F. Miller, Of Attakqpos.
In July last Psn, as induced to pp the Bridge
every respect it has exceeded my expectations,
and the representations made by the Agents,
Messrs. G. C. Robert & Co. | cheerfully add
my testimony to the numerous ones embraced
in the Agents circular, and recommend the
same to planters and others, as the best fire and
water protector | have ever known. Where |
have applied it, it has been exposed to the sun
since last July, and has neither blistered nor
cracked, and has formed solid metallic surface,
which has proved entirely inpervious.

The attention Of the public is particularly d.
rected to the following recommendations of some
of our most prominent and extensive commercial
firms. The interest of the cotton and sngar fac
tor is so clearly identified with that Of the
planter, that it would be superfuous to more
than point to the annexed commendation:
We, the undersigned Cotton Factors and Com
mission Merchants, do cheerfuly recommend
the Bridgewater Paint for the purposes set forth
in the Agents Circular; and believe we are
serving the interests of Planters by calling their
attention to its peculiar enduring and protective
qualities.

RENTING MONEY BY MAIL-An i'm
portant decision has recently been made in
the L. S District Court, Richmond, Va,
Chief Justice Tauey presiding In case
on trial before that court, the question arose
whether money remtted by mail from .
debtor to a creditor, such money being lost
before it reached IT'S destination, was a re-
lease Of the debtor from obligation. of the
debt. The Chief Justice decided that the
plaintiff having requested bis debtor to re.
NIT the money, without specifying OF direct
ing how it was to be sent, and the defend
ant having complied with the request by
renting through the mail, as was the Gus
tom with others to do, the debtor would
not be held liable to make good the loss.
The decision Is in conflict with other cases
involving the same principle, the Chief
Justice holding tha, the former decisions
were not correct

RHocxtSG ARR IN VIRaIAiA. We
learn from the Petersburg Express, tha;
DIR. Henry Birdsong, of Sussex county, Va,
and his little son, while lying in bed on FRI
day night, wire both shot through one OF the
windows Of their chamber. The shooting
was done with double barrel gun, heavily
loaded with buck shot. The load entered
one leg Of Mr.. B.'s son, at the thigh,passing
entirely through it, and terribly lacerating
the other. Mr.. b. also received an entire
load in his abdomen. which proves that
both barrels Of the gun were discharged. -
Their wounds are considered mortal. Sus-
picion rests upon two Of his slaves.
