CITY AND STATE AFFAIRS.
To Advertisers.

The Lynchburg iirginian, now hall century
odd, has acquired position second in influence to
but few, if any other journals in the State; and
has wider circulation than any newspaper pub
ishci Southwest of the Metropolis. To say
nsthiug of its circulation in this city and neigh
'.,rhood-it is penetrating every part of that cx-
tensye region, which, by the completion Of our
great lines of INSTRUMENTATION, has become
tributary to this city. As m advertising medium
therefore, it affords unequaled advantages to all
eur business men Who desire to increase their
trade.
The job Office connected Herewith. is now one
of the most extensive in the State, having been
provided during the last year with all the facilities
requisite to execute any manner of work, from n
large poster to the most delicate wedding card
The proprietor has no disposition to puff the cs-
Enlistment into notice, nor is it necessary, since
his work speaks for itself, and the public have
shown their appreciation by increasing their pat
ronage full fifty per cent in the last year.
All orders will meet with prompt attention.
BIsHoP EARLy.-The many friends Of this vene-
rable and widely known minister, will be panied
to learn that he returned to his home in this city,
on Friday night last, in very feeble health. He
has been absent some month"; in attendance
the sessions Of several of the frontier Conferences
of his Church During his trip he has travelled
some four thousand miles; no inconsderable por-
ton of it over the wilds of Kansas and the Indian
Territory, on the backs of Indian ponies and over
praries where the mud was deep that it was
with difficulty that any Roadway could DO made.
This sort Of life is lily suited to person of the
Bishops years, and the result is, his present en-
fcebed condition. That he may speedily recover
his wonted health and vigor, is tho sincere wish
of all who know him.
UNRULY,-Samucl Fitzgerald, gentleman who
has been unfortunate in his domestic arrangements
on Saturday last went to the house ohis wife from
whom, he has been separated for some time past
and demanded that his two children be given up
to him. This very reasonable request was not
complied with, and in consequence thereof, Sam
uel became very greatly enrnged. which rnge
found vent in the shape of sunlry knocks Mt the
door, and some oral enunciations not well suited
to refined ears. About this time officer Reid made
his opportune appearance and at once provided
the njurel husband and father with quarters ut the
public expense The Mayor on hearing the case
administered some good advice to the delinquent
who he concluded to release on his promising to
shake the dust of the city from his shoes.
WHAT'S slave belonging II DR. Saunders
employed at the Depot Of the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad, was arrested at tho Drs tobacco
factory where he was behaving in n very disor
derby manner. Some Of the employees, at that es-
adjustment. had, it seems, done something to ex-
cite his dspleasure, aud to make that fact appa-
rent. he INDUCED in sundry abectives and other
bellicose demon STATIONS, not at all to the liking
Of those for whom they were intended. Mayor
Branch very properly ordered him twenty lashes.
which unpalatabe dose itis hoped, may have the
effect of curbng his angry passions in the future.
STEALING.-Sim, slave to Jesse Hare, charged
with stealing goods to the amount of 500. from
the store Of Glass & Rainc, had his trial before
the Mayor yesterday morning, and was ordered
80 ashes. Sim, we learn, has always heretofore
borne an excellent character, but the temptation
in this instance was than he was able to re-
sist. 1.-The spirit willing but the flesh was
weak" So long as merchants employ factory
hands about their stores, so long may they expect
to be robbed Of their goods-the temptation to
bedeck themselves with the fnery which is placed
within their reach. is too great to be withstood
by class whose moral culture is, at BEST defec-
tive and who have not the same incentives to
honesty held out to the poorer classes among
tho whites.
AN OLD OFrENDER.-Ellen Pin who has at DIFF
fcrent periods in her evenful history, received not
less than one thousand stripes at the hands of the
