Com NJ USICATED.


In the Alexandria Gazette, of the 18th
inst, find a communication from "a, that,
no doubt, has some very good and timely
hints and views, with which entirely con-
cur; particularly in regard to the buying
and using Virginia make of every thing that
ca! BIZ malr in Virginia, just as we'll as else
where. But here lies the trouble. know
there are some noble exceptions; but where,
ask, could a merchant get an order filled
for any of the common articles used on a
farm, such ~ forks. shoqels, spades--in fact,
might mention the whole catalogue of agri-
cultural implements, even down to hand
rake, Of Virginia manufacture; and mer
chants brain would be taxed to find the
place in Virginia where he could lay in his
stock for the season? And what Is true Of
agricultural implements, is also true Of al
most everything else used. How many mer-
chants cou!d be supplied with Virginia made
boot, and shoes equal to their demand? But
need not enumcrate. Every one is familiar
with the !at', that we are compelled to 20
abroad for nearly every article used except
agricultural products, which, | am happy to
say, may be had by every one, ii they will.
But why should such state of things be d?
We have the men; we have the material :;
we have the iaclitcs--such rs water-power,
fa"l for steam-power, etc. Then, ask again,
why should this be 50?
~ says, "empioyment would be given
10 large number of our working people,
not farmers or planters, who, with their
families, must either emigrate or lead a half
starving existence. Che people are willing
and anxious 10 work" Now, Just here,
might not IN issue be made with a." Is
1t not too often tie case, that people do nat
~orh, are not ''willing and anxious to work"
but prefer IL croak about hard times, the
want Of employment, and a hundred and one
other things, rather than work? Then,
again, is it not too often the case that those
who do work, must have more than as much
as the same article can be bought for. And
is it rot, also, too often the case that the
article, when made, Is coarse and rough
Take, Tor instance, an old-fashioned iron
pltchiork, compare it with nice steel fork,
with Il well turned handle by going out and
pitching wheat or lay all day then take
our rough hard castings for machinery Of
every description, with Jumps, and crooks,
and cracks, etc, and compare them with
what we might, if we chose, manufacture
and 50 might 60 through with many arti-
clcs with the same result. True, as | said,
there are some noble exceptions. But what
want to know is, where can we, in the good
old State OF Virginia, get supplies manufac-
t"Ted ct home equal to our demands, while
inen, MOI farmers OF planters" do not bend
Me'r wtnd&, Their cnslyles, and the4z poloerS,
10 tie manufacturing of such things as our
people need. Let this be DONE Let men
of spirit and enterprise let men OF genius
let men ''willing TO work." take this thing
in hand, and | believe the thing can, and
will be done, and Eirginians will buy of
Virginia, because they will be able to get
what they want, and that Of the best quality,

Singular RAILROAD ACCIDENT Terrible
fermentation 10 a FTgat-The New York Tri-
bnne gives the following account OF Il singu-
lar and terrible acciient:
Yesterday "wednesday morning, az the
| | o'clock express train on the Hudson River
Railroad was approaching Prckskiil, tw"
men, VINO are SAID to have been drunk 1t the
time, were engaged in fight on tlie track,
and just at the instant when the tram came
up they were both d0wn between the rails.
There is ii curve short distance on this side
Of the PeckSkill Station, owing to which the
engineer was not able to see the men on the
track in time 10 stop the train. lie, how
ever, gave the alarm for down brakes the
instant he saw the men, but ii was then too
late, and the train, consisting OF live cars,
passed over the bodies Of both men who had
been fighting, and Of another man who, sec
ing their danger, endcavorcd 10 save them,
but vas dragged himself upon the track, and
there held till the train came up by one Of
the contestants.
One Of them was 40 terribly mutilated
that he could not be ognized-portlons
of his body being strewn along the track for
some distance. The other two were instant
" killed. having their clothes torn from their
bodies, bpt were in condition to be recog-
nized. it appears that the engineer was en-
tirely free from blame IN tie matter, as thc
moment he saw the men on the track nc did
his utmost to avert the calamity. The men
were recognized. They were all intoxicated
at the time The bodies were taken up and
placed on Il han1-c3r and removed to the en-
CINE house.

4 Bull FlGurs A LocouoTIvE.--The 9TH
er day, says the Pittsburg Chronicle, a
plucky little bell, who lives OH the line OF
the Cleveland and PittsbQrg railroad, about
six miles from Wheeling, was grazing about
near the track and picking the fresh grass
blades ont from between the croSs-tics, when
he heard locomotive coming down upon
him. The locomotive wAistled for the bull
to clear the track, which tho bu!l made an
effort TO DO, but being closely crowded by
the iron horse, and not being disposed to
show the white feather, even to q superior
and fiery opponent, his young bpllship turn
ed about, paved the earth, bowed his lead,
with the determination to give his purSuer
the best he had in the shop. The engineer
seeing this put steam on enough to knock the
bull sky hi gh. The two came together with
a terrible crash. His bullship was knocked
into an 'sin&nite nnmber of small pieces"
and the engine was drown from the track.
