MONUMENTS AND HEAD-STONEs FOR THE
CONFEDERATE DEAD.-The poverty of our
people is serious obstacle in the way OF
doing Justice to the memory of our gal
liant dead by monumental memorials made
of granite and marble, the costly materials
which have been always heretofore used
and the inquiry has been anxiously and
repeatedly made as to the most economic
cal and certain method of at once mark
ing the last resting places Of our fallen
heroes, until the time comes when we shall
be better able to erect more enduring evil
dences of our atiectionate remembrance oil
them. We are glad, therefore, to have it III
our power to state that movement is now
on foot, under the direction of dis
tinguished gentleman well-known to
the people of Virginia, to Introduce
the manufacture of plain and ornamental
stone under Ransome's English patent,
by which head-stones and monuments
can be furnished at prices which will
place them within the means OF the
poorest,-a handsome maidstone costing
not more than two dollars, and monuments
from ten to thirty dollars. After series
of experiments, covering period OF more
than twenty years, Mr.. Ransome has Deef
enabled to produce stone rivalling IL
every respect the best natural sandstone'
now in use, and apparently superior &c
nearly all in its great power to resist the
extremes of heat and cold. 1t combines
durability and cheapness and in England
where it was first introduced, it is coming
into general use. Strong testimonials have
been given in favor of the " Ransome con.
crete stone /" by DR.. FARMLAND, one Of the
committee of the board Of works, ap.
pointed by Parliament; John Fowler, en-.
gincer of the Westminster bridge; and
other eminent builders and civil engineers
of England, and many scientific gentlemen
of the United States. 1t is this artificial
stone which our Virginia friend proposes
to manufacture, and We suggest that per
sons and corporations contemplating thu
purchase of grave stones and monuments
delay for short time until his arrange
ments are completed, of whichhc will give
due notice.

THE CONCERT observation-disclosures
Ruhrs Concert, which will take place to-
night at the Virginia Hall, on Ninth street,
will be highly interesting to every lover Of
music in this city. The instrumental Sc
lections are excellent, and the names OF
their performers are sufficient guarantee
that they will be well and tastefully
played, while the vocal solos are
such as every one must wish to hear.
Madame Ruhl's talent as a singer is so well
known in this community that 1t Is unne-
cessary to say word in her praise but
she has of late chastened and subdued her
style, and given tenderness and sweet
ness to her information which cannot fail to
make her singing more attractive than ever.
The Virginia Hall is well adapted to
concert purposes, and it will be remem-
bered that the entrance to it is entirely
distinct and separate from the bar-room
and reading rooms to which 1t is attached.

This gentleman is native Of South Co.

Medical College of Savannah, and ct tho
commencement Of the war filed chair In
the Medical College of Oglethorpe, Geor-
gia. He now resides in Augusta, Georgia.
OF course we cannot speak Of the value Of
his invention, but can only say that sur
geons of the highest standing in the coun-
try commend it in the wsrmest terms. We
regret that the Legislature Of Virginia did
not follow the example Of North Carolina
and Georgia in making appropriations to
supply our crippled soldiers with artificial
limbs. The old North State appropriated
sixty thousand dollars and Georgia twenty
thousand dollars for this purpose. We
have no organization in this Stste to aid In
this good work, and unless the ladies o.
Virginia take hold Of II, our poor boys Will
have to 60 on clutches for a long time yet.

A Cry From the Vineyard.

"God sends his servants to bed when they
have done their work"
Oh, Father, I'm weary-how long must
stay
In this Vineyard weed tangled, with work
for all day?
The sun is so scorching, the winds are so i'll,
That faint at the travail-or SILVER and
chill
Myfeet they are wounded, my garments are
torn,
And the labor grows harder than labor at
morn.
Zen the grapes they are bitter, and quench
not my thirst,
And woes are so many know not the worst
"Oh, child" spoke the Father, let pa
tienee be thine,
Till the grapes thou fnd'st bitter ferment
into wine.
A robe there is weaving which cannot be torn,
Arobe which by wedding guests only is worm
A crown there is promised with jewels more
bright
Than mqnarch's proud diadem radiant in
light; .rs
And the breath of the flowers which fade
not nor die,
Shall heal every wound, and shall hush every
sigh
"Oh, child well beloved, when the evening
shall come
Be sure thou shalt slumber and rest in thy
holnei
A bed is preparing more soft than the cloud
Which floats in the either one bright star tt
shroud,
When the white moon is shining to silver i

As the cradles of princes were burnish'd o

And He who once trampled the wine-pres
