Shall form ourselves band of brothersl
Tn. healing art TO keep out quscks
With uaity thus wisely acts;
And why not we our interests watch,
Hold up the artist and put down the botchl
It's easy if We once begin
And show the mass they're taken in;
Have weIo this evil to sllay,
To drive them one by one with sticks away;
Ormust they ever thus pursue us9
We swarm with skalks as base as Lewis.
Trades are forsaken and the arts disgraced
By gswks whose fame is on the dollar based;
They who barns should paint and lumber haul,
Stick "taken for one dol ar" on the wall.
Then some to humbug little more
Stick patent process top their door.
All this is done the ignorant to beguiie.
When ia their sleeve the would be artists smile.
Yes, those who'd scorn the Doctors skill
That ignorantly prescribesa pill,
Do quite as bad, nay, even worse,
Encourage him who robs their purse;
Distorts their features, then. with grace,
Asks you If that is not your face.

appeared in our columns of yesterday, regarding
this favorite steamer. We understand from her
agents here, that they received Geographic dis.
patch from her agents st New York, to the effect
that "there is nothing the matter with her."
The rumor was that she hsd anchored In the
lower lay of the barber of New York, and as a
matter of course the presumption was. with Madam
Rumor, that something was wrong; which is en-
tireIy unfourd-d shs will leave here at 4 o'clock

D The Lynchburg Express contained,
some days since, severe attack upon MIR. r.
S. WEST, gentleman connected with this Of
fee, who had been the telegraphic eorrespon-
dent of that paper in this city. The Express
containing the article, has never reached us
by mail but friend has just handed it to US.
The complaint against Mr.. WEST, made by the
Express, is that he garbles his report OF the
tobacco market here fer the purpose OF giving
the advantage to this market over Lynchburg,
and thus to benefit the tobacse buyers of this
CITY. with whose interests MIR. w. is cha ged
by the Express as being leagued. AS to Mr..
WIS reports, we have no doubt he is ready TO
defend them, or explain any error, if there be
any; but the charge that he is in collision with
the buyers, is utterly without foundation. We
know MIR. WEST we'll, and know him to be a
gentleman of too much integrity to believe
him capable of a fraud of the kind, even if it
were possible for the very intelligent and hon.
orable class of gentlemen engaged in the to-
bacco trade in this city, to stoop to such a
trick. We can assure the Express that it does
gross injustice to all parties concerned.

the Tuesday night previous. A nan named A. NJ
Balow, informed the police that he suspected foul
play at ths house where the girl lived, and that he

female hairdresser had knocked at her door with
ont being admitted-that soon afterwards Ballow
out the door and locked 1t, and being inform
ed By neighbor that the hairdresser had called,

prisoned on the charge. The mother of the unfor
tuna.e girl who lived In Algsirs, stated that Ballow

MAYo's BRIDGE-By order of the executor of
Mr.. Mayo's estate, Mr.. Samuel Marx, this bridge,
which has so long been in state of dilapidation,
is being entirely rebuilt. During the past year,
thirteen new stone piers or abutments were erected
of the most substantial character, and the remain
der Of the piers were put in good order. Upon
these piers Improvements were made. The bridge
s now being wdened seven feet, and elevated three
feet. The shorter portion of the BRIDGE from the
dollhouse to Manchester, will soon be completed
Seven new arches on each sids of this portion have
been erected. Of course the flooring and side rails
are entirely new. The causeway between he
shorter and longer portions of the bridge is being
elevated to level with the bridge and the renova
tion in structure, will proceed rapidly possible
on the longer side We learn that the bridge will
be entirely finished about the lst of October, and
that the expense of reconstructins it will not be
less than $4,000. Its height and uncommon strength
will place it far above the influence of any ordinary
or extraordinary floods, and render it one OF the
most safe bridges in the State. When completed
it will be in fine order for free bridge.
