RICHMOND, VA.

On our return from business trip North
We stopped in Richmond on Sunday, in
tending to stay and witness the ceremonies
of the Inauguration, but the weather was
SO unpleasant and the city so much crowd
Ell, that we left before the proceedings took
pace.
The streets were in such bad condition
and the houses so covered with snow and ice,
that we had poor opportunity Of Judging
Of the appearance OF the city, but from what
we saw we conclude that Richmond is a
pretty place in good weather, especially that
part in the vicinity of the Capitol.
While in the city we made the &C
quaintance of Mr. Cowardin, editor and pro
prietor of the Dispatch, whom we found a
clever and attentive gentleman.
The Virginia Legislature being in session
we looked in upon the assembled wisdom
Of the Old Dominion, and we must say
that we never saw body of better looking
men, or more nicely dressed. We don't
know whether such good looks are com
mon with that body or not-probably the
fact that Gen. Scott was to visit them on
that day caused the members to fix up a
little better than usual. The Door-keeper
OF the House was about the finest dressed
man We have seen in some time, and from
the way he looked at us we thought two
or three times he was going to tell us to
get out of the way" being as how we had
on rrough-looking travelling suit; but we
gave hun one or two ugly looks, and re-
NAMED unmolested until showed out by
n:OOp-sklrts and pretty women. About that
NE we thought it would be more pleasant
- be on the road home than prowling
"Oout among strangers and having our
STns mashed by big-whiskered gentlemen.
,,sEIertheIess, we were favorably impressed
with the people

- Our friend Bow, of the FAYETTEVILLE

- Our friend Bow, of the Fayetteville
Carolinian, is pretty good at prophesying.
He predicted some time ago, that if we
didn't mind Squire McRae would get after
US. Ought we to regret causing him a
journey of 173 miles to put the Western
Democrat straight, or ought we to pay one
half of his expenses to Charlotte !! We
have concluded to pay eur equal share of
the expenses after the esquire " is elected
Governor. That's fair.

Another Witness for DR.. Robakc.

We see that DR.. Jean Ledoux,T a we'll
known practitioner in Franklin, Louisiana,
has come out with a strong Endorsement OF
DIR. C. w. Roback's celebrated vegetable spe-
cites, the Scandinavian Blood Pills and
Blood Purifier. He says, in letter pub
lished in the Southern papers, {" These medi-
cines 1.-THE Pills and Purifer) undoubtedly re-
lieve disorders incident to the digestive or
gans, improve The appetite, renew the
strength, Gllay nervous irritation, and free
the system from the impurities which gene
rate and stimulate diseases Of the stomach
and the bowels" Such unqualified praise
from such source, carries weight with it,
and seems to confirm the result Of our own
observations. DR.. Roback's advertisement
in another column, deserves attention.
