VIRGINIA ExPRBss RLL.-we notice that this
bill was before the Senate this morning, and after
some debate was laid onths table, many members
being anxious to consider more maturely the ims
portant franchises asked for in this charter. ,r,
While we are desirous OF securing such compe-
titon In the Express as in sll other public basi-
ness as win secufe the bes, and cheapest service,
still we are not prepared to recommend charter
which enables cash capital OF less than $500, ,oos
TO make trciusfve contracts with railroads for
the transportation Of persons or Jreigh, or both,
IL the bin should pass In its present FORM giving
the corporstors authority TO transport persons or
property by land or water by means OF their own
conveyances, or that of others hired for the pur-
pose It might be construed to permit the construc
ton of means Of conveyance" even TO the
building Of railroad. a Et.
We hope the bill will be so amended as to secure
the object desired-a reliable competing express
company-without establishing what 1t is aimed
to prevents mammoth monopoly. N'I

The TYE RIVER MURDER.-In our ac-
count, in Mondays issue, of the killing OF
young Driscoll at Tye River Warehouse,
we gave only such facts as we could gather
from information received from the neigh
borhood of the fatal occurrence. This hap
pened mostly to be from the friends OF
Wood, and Of course we made all due al
lowances for this fact. We have since,
however, been requested by the friends oil
Driscoll to make a statement contradicting
the alleged ground for the shooting-im-
proper proposals to Woods wife. We give
their statement:
The account Of the shooting was, in the
main, very correct, but ii was neglected to
state how the two became separated when
walking along the bank OF the canal.
Driscoll and Wood were talking together
apparently in very friendly manner,
when the former was called from the drcdg-
ing machine, lying in the water near
bv. Wood remarked Somebody calls
YOU, Driscoll." Driscoll replied " ex-
pect it is my fireman, who wants water u;
and started for the machine. A negro on
the boat heard Wood say, just before he
fired the fatal shot "Oh my God p! lam
going 10 shoot that young man, and | know
not what for" After DriscOll was shot and
fell into the water, he tried to swim, and as
he was sinking he gasped to Mr.. KeOh,
who was on the machine "Do all you can
for me, and take care of my mother" Ii
is said, in refutation 10 the reported ground
for the shooting, that there was some COM
petition between the parties in regard to
the situation Driscoll occupied.
We give the above statement in justice
to the friends and relations OF the deceased.
We have given the statement from the
friends of the other party, and we can only
wait until the trial comes Oft, when, from
the sworn evidence of the witnesses in the
case, a fair and impartial report can be
given.

OFFICE BOARD OF HEALTH, (
RTCHNOND. December 10. 1866.

Board of Health:
OFFICE BOARD OF HEALTH,
RICHMOND, December 10, 1866.
Gentlemen,-Since your last monthly
meeting the city has enjoyed an immunity
from disease which is remarkable. To in
sure a continuance of this state Of things,
it will be necessary to renew, in modified
form, the sanitary measures which were
inangurated lastspring. In our last com
munication we notified you that we had
discontinued the use Of the extra force
placed temporarily under our charge, on
account of the expense attending 1t but
in dispensing with this mode of cleansing
the city, we requested the substitution by
your body of some more economical plan.
As far as we are informed, no steps have
yet been taken, and the present condition of
the city forcibly reminds us Of the necessity
Of early action on your part to preserve the
public health. Independent of the danger
of an epidemic of cholera next year, these
sanitary measures are called for to prevent
the appearance and spread of other
disease.
In former communications your stten-
ton was called to the propricty Of taking
steps to remove serious nuiSance-one
very preiudical to the health of largo
portion of the city-to wit: what is known
as Victor's mill-pond. No season OF the
year could be more propitious than the
present for the abatement OF this prolific
source of disease. We ask the immediate
reference of this subject to an appropriate
committee, with instructions to report at
an early day.
Now that your body has ordered the
construction OF several new culverts, we
must be pardoned for again calling your
attention to the propriety Of passing an
ordinance requiring the owners of i'm
proved property, and Of those lots upon
which buildings are being erected, to con-
meet with the city culvcrts where the grade
will allow of its being done and where the
property lies within the prescribed dis
tances of the culverts. 1t should also be
required that the waste water from the
houses and lots be conveyed to these con-
Meeting culvcrts, in order to insure an oc-
casional flushing of them, but in no in
stance should connection be allowed with
sewer for the purpose of preventing the
overflow of priyy well.
Respectfully, J. G. CABELL,
President of the Board of Health.

his friend, preacher Harris, to marry them;
and if he consented it would be all right,
and God would be on their side. Jennings
in day or two afterwards told her that
preacher Harris had consented to marry
them, and that Peter Voolfolk had given
his consent TO let them get married in his
house. An evening was fixed for the mar
riage, but she, upon second thought, con-
cluded not to get to Woolfolk's house in
time. One evening afterwards she went
to see preacher Harris. He asked her why
she did not appear on the evening ap-
pointed for the marriage. She replied
that she did not think it right, because
her parents were against it, and she did
not care much about marrying him any
how. He replied that that made no diff
ference; if Jennings loved her, God would
be on their side, and all would go right.
She said then that Jennings had no means
of supporting her. Harris said that as to
that they could wait until she was twenty,
and then he would have something for her
and if they loved each other God would be
with them.
His Honor discharged Harris, not think
ing that there was sufficient evidence to
sustain charge of abduction.
John Hill, negro, was arraigned for steal
ing silver watch, three gold buttons, a
pencil, and two razors from his brother
Isaiah Hill.
The property charged to have been stolen,
except two of the buttons, appeared to
have been left by the deceased father OF
the two brothers, and the elder of them
Tohn) had charge ofthem, and had as much
right to them as his brother. Hill was ac-
quilted of all the charge except so much
as related to stealing two of the buttons,
for which he was sent on for indictment.
Henry Allen, negro, charged with steal.
ing wheelbarrow from James Bolton, was
remanded to answer indictment for petit
larceny.
Anna Stuart, negro, charged with being
drunk and disorderly on the street, was
told to "clear herself"
Charles Davis, negro, charged with
being drunk and creating disturbance at
negro ball, was committed in default Of
