Encourage Domestic Tndustry.-A number
OF the ladies who daily congregate in the hall
| OF the Convention have inaugurated n plan
oy which they pass away the hours, previous
| to the commence ment of the proceed.ng. APP
| parently quite pleasantly, and we doubt not
profitably. That is, they take their sewing or
knitting, seat themselves in a domestic way,
and 20 to work for the morning, with no vi~i-
| BILE concern for what is passing around them
Now, we go In strong for the encouragement
Of industry, especially among the ladies, end
therefore respectfully suggest that a dozen
sewing machines he pnrcha sed hy the COM
monwealth and placed in the Hall, with 4
| view to the promotion of an object so lauda-
bic. The ladies who are familiar with their
manipulation, could work away on them from
so'clocksn the morning, the hour at which
they generally assemble, until IL o'clock,
| when the Presidents hammer would give the
| signal TO cease working and, in the mean
time, II any OF the members wanted to get
their handkerchiefs henmed, any little job
OF that sort, the busy operators would be
ready to accommodate them Encourage
domestic industry.

Beneft Of Miss Ida Vernon.-The perform
ances at the Theatre tonight are set apart for
the benefit of Miss Ida Vernon, a talented
young lady, attached to the corps dramattque
| of that establishment, ranking next in the or
der of talent and effectiveness to the 'leading
lady" Her renditions of character during
the season have been characterized by that
finish that denotes the student, and she
should be rewarded for her efforts to please
We trust that her many friends will bear the
. occasion In that acceptable remembrance
prompt attendance. The bill for to night ~ in

t White" (dramatized from Wilkie Collins
Move, the play of candy Blake" (the chief

Q Gen. Harry Lees Recommendations from
various sections OF the State and elsewhere.
e continue to be received, praying the passage
v | of a law by the General Assembly of Vir-
I ginia authorizing the removal of the remains
Of the gallant revolutionary patriot above
G | named from the soil of Georgia to that of his
: native State. For the information of those
v | who may not be aware of the present aspect
. of the affair. we will state that the bill not
r | long since introduced into the Legislature
o intended TO accomplish the object above stated
i | is in fair way OF becoming law, being on

D the usual course of legislation it will not be
4 | long before ii is reached and duly passed. 1t
! will not meet with any opposition, so far as
l we can Judge.
= = Music and .M,th.-Duprez Il Green's Min
. stres will give the second of series OF en- ter
tainmenfs at Metropolitan Hall tonight. From
notices published in the journals of Southern
cities, we are led to the conclusion that they
e stand A No. l in the burnt-cork profession
S and as our people want something gay and
z enlivening in the way of amusement, pre-
n sumo they will be greeted by a full house. If
z they avoid everything that is vulgar and inde-
, cent i'll Ethiopian minstrelsy, their perform
r ances here will be crowned with success. 1t
: is too often the that comic actor, and
a singers regard 1t as their highest glory TO in
e terlard their parts with most offensive express
sions, but we do not anticipate any thing OF
e this sort in the performance to night.
