| 4 FirgiHia Vo9un.esY-It was announced in
one of the city papers, a few days ago, that a
young Nirginian had left Paris TO serve as a
Lieutenant in 4 army of Garibaldi. This, we
| apprehend, is a mistake, as we have been in
| formed from an authentic source that 4 letter
has been received stating that our gallant
young townsman, DR.. Bradfute Warwick, 4
| son OF Mr.. Corbin Warwick, of this city, after
making u tour of the Holy Land and South of
: Europe, was, soon after his return to Paris,
! where he intended to prosecute his medical
studies, rendered Il Surgeons commission in
/ | the invading army under Garibaidi, WHICH he
: unhesitatingly accepted, and at once took his
departure for the seat OF war.
His mission is noble one, and the mO;iVer
which actuated him deserve the Commenda-
/ tion of ali his friends. He goes not as a lier
: | tenant, but as Il surgeon, whose province il is
2 | TO preserve and not destroy human lie. He
| will be exposed, doubtless, to many hards hips,
| but 10 little actual danger, and during the
campaign, however short, he will obtain
though dearly purchased, practical expe-
g rience in his profession, which will be of i'm
, ! mense profit to him.
g When we recoilect that one so youug-not
| having yet attained to maturity-surrounded
| in the gay city of Paris by everything thal
Q | wealth and influence could obtain, has been
| willing 10 makesuch a sacrifice for good q
| cause, all must concur that he deserves the
r praise and sympathy of every freeman anG
: | lover of liberty.
= | His parents will feel much anxiety but We
e doubt not he will return safely to his native
: land with those manly elements of character
e | which so highly adorn and have won for him
| de u,,1 -fx h hoe
/ | been abroad, more fully developed and ripeneC
: by the hard experience obtained in his new
r | position. We predict for him brillant future
I The County Po!ics are reques ted to give some
: | attention 10 the gangs OF young rowdies tina
r regularly assemble at Howard's Grove to
A | steal fruit and vegetables from the marke
. ! men, and to rob them OF their money whel
| opportunities offer. These young highway
| men have become so bold in their opera tions
| that market.men are compelled to 90 70 auC
O from the city III gangs for mutual protection
| An evening or TWO since a watermelon ven
der had one-half of his load taken from hin
by force and another one, in returning home
a | was seized and would have been robbed of hi
h | money but for the timely arrival of person
: in the neighborhood Surely the county an
a | thorities will take steps TO prevent such out
| RACES in future, or to arrest and punish th
;. law!ess gang who make the public highway
" | their field for theft.
n All Glasses are interested in the immediate
- | establishment OF city passenger railway
a aud all who can afford 10 do SO should TAX
{ stock in it, There can be no doubt that such
c an improvement Will pay we'll in a short time
a and that it will increase business along it
:, | line, and raise the price OF real estate at it
IS | extremes. With a good passenger railway
- working men can readily afford to reside a
u | the western limits when employed at the east
y | eTn, and the consequence Will be that hundred
Il of neat houses will go up in every direction
and the city will be improved, while the peo
+. | pie will be benefited The Directory, com
posed entirely of business men, are anxiou
| that the people should become the stocshold
If ers, and to enable them to do so have opene'
d | books of subscription at the Presidents office
lie No. i30 Main street, and at Lancaster & Sons
II | where all are invited to call and subscribe.
! | Stating Shrub6erv-Within the past thre
d | weeks several residents of Leigh and Mar
A | shall streets, Shockoe Hill, have had thei
d front yards despoiled of fine shrubbery, b.
d night providers. An evening or two since
is gentleman on Leigh street lost a pretty olean
IS der and several fine geraniums and a lady OF
| Marshall street had stolen from her yard no
| less than one dozen specimens of shrubber,
v | and flowers. One of the losers has prepared II
j. give the despoiler g. warm reception, IL h
le | should again return. In the meantime,
Ie would be wise policy for families TO lock thei
le front gates, and thus make the entrance les
.e convenient than at present.
