Premiums 20 PUpi1s.-The scholars in the
night school of the Virginia Mechanics In.
stirute are to have three premiums awarded
to them at the close of the session, each of
which will be a silver medal, with the name
of the pupil, and for what the award is made.
Punctuality, good behavior. and progressive
studies are to be rewarded; and as every pupil
has right to compete, We presume it will be
a difficult task for the teachers to determine
which scholar combines the three qualities in
the highest degree. This school ought to effect a
great deal OF good amongst the apprentice BOYS
Of the city, and will doubtless do SO il they
are disposed to avail themselves of it's ad van.
tages. The teachers are untiring in their ex-
ertions to impart Information 10 the youth
under their charge. and from this time to the
close Of the session the Committee Of the In :.
stitute will be in attendance TO render such
aid as may be in their power. Boys need never
fear of learning too much that Is useful and
valuable, for when they grow 10 manhood they
will soon find that they know comparatively
little.

Chester Shoe Ectory.-The gentlemen engag-
ed in getting up stock for large boot and shoe
factory at Chester, in Chesterfield county,
will find no difficulty in securing all themon
eyed influence they may need, and can get
thousands Of workmen from the North, if
they wish to en- ter the factory as soon as it is
erected. Indeed Northern men Of wealth and
luhuence have proposed TO purchase the
stock, and identify themselves with the bust
ness, but the great difficulty to progress seems
to be the conflicting schemes of the various
parties. The most popular plan as yet sug-
geSted, seems to be the one which requires the
the manufacture Of different styles of work,
and all to be under the management of one
directory. To this plan there are three OBJ
Jectlons-the first OF which is, that vast deal
and fixtures. The next Is, that the scheme
would require an unnecessarily heavy outlay
for the commencement OF a new business. -
And the third and greatest objection is, that
the company would have to import from Mas
sachusetts, (the hot-bed of abolitionism,) the
very fanatics who are now warning against the
South, and settle them down in the midst of a
slave community, to corrupt them by their
teachings. Instead OF investing a capital OF
S500,0 in the boot and shoe trade, let q COM
pany raise $50,UUU, build a factory tor the man
ufacture Of coarse work, establish a tannery.
and thus supply the farmers with what they
need. Finer work may be introduced, as
boys and girls may become instructed in the
various branches of shoe and boot making,
and by steadily increasing the capital as u de-
mand for it is created, the lapse Of q few years
will find the South supplying her own boots
and shoes, made by Southern workmen. Ne
gro labor is now employed to some extent in
| making corse shoes. and if a factory were
established and properly conducted hundreds
of them might be used TO advantage in it. II
seems to us that the tannery is also essential
to the success of the plan, and if one cannot be
made profitable here, it will certainly pay no.

Begsars Choosing.-Not many days since a
lady In this city was solicited for aims by a
young beginner, and promised the beggar
something if he would call upon her. Short
ly after an imperative "rap" was heard at
the front door, and a servant being dispatched
to answer the summons, soon reported that
the youth had called for his present. Suppos-
ing that he would be glad to get whatever she
could spare, she sent him a Spanish quarter.
When the servant handed it to him, he eyed it
for a second, and handed 1t back to the girl,
directed her to take it to her mistress and get
An American quarter in exchange. The i'm
pudence OF the fellow was so great that the
lady promptly made the exchange rs COM
manded, and in a very short time after the
young beggar was regaling himself on the best

whifts of smoke, at the expense of charity.

DESCRIPTION OF REALF.-The Washington
States speaks as follows about Realf Browns
"Secretary of State,'' who is now before the
Harper's Ferry Investig ating Committee:
Richard Realf, who was born in England
about twenty five years ago, is avery good and
resolute looking man, about five feet four
inches high, with dark eyes, and rather long
black hair, beard and moustache. He says
that us soon rs the "Brown foray' was heard
of in Texas, it being known that he had been
connected with Brown in some of his schemes,
there was much excitement and some threats
toward him personally, but that all that has
now died away, and he claims to have in
Texas now where ne resides, more true friends
than i'll any other portion of the world. lie
expresses his perfect abhorrence OF the Har-
per's Ferry matter, of which he knew nothing
until it appeared in the papers, and gives
"Old Brown credit for truthfulness and sir :
cerity of purpose, contrasting him strongly in
this respect with Col. Hugh Forbes-very
much to the disadvantage of the latter
Realfs ideas on the subject of slavery, since
his residence in Texas, have undergone radi-
cal change, and at the present moment it has
no more ardent supporter than he. He is
perfectly untrammelled in his movements,
aud except in the mere name of the thing, is
not in custody.
