EAGLE MACHINE WORKS
ID RE-ESTABLISHED
COMPREHENSIVE.

The undersigned have formed co-partnership
under the name and style Of KAHL & RAHM, to
conduct general foundry and machine business
at their newly fitted up establishment, the
EAGLE lLACHINE Works,
Corner Ninth and Canal Streets, '(South side of
Basin,) Richmopd, Va
Are now prepared to manufacture Stationary and
Portable Steam Engines, of any required power
Also, Saw and Grist Mills, =
Mill Gearings Steam Boilers,
Brass and Iron Castings, ''t !" 81
Forgings, and Machinery of every description.
Having obtained most of the patterns of the late
MIR. Philip Rahm we can build new and repair
old machinery with great facility, and being sup
piled with the most labor-saying tools, we can ia
vorably compete with any establishment in any
kind OF work, both as to quality and price Il The
senior par.ner Frank Kahl, mechanical eng-
neer, was, for number of years, superintendent
and partner in the late p Rahm's Eagle Machine

until the fire in April, 1865, when the Works were
destroyed" We assure the public that any work
entrusted to us will be carried out ON the most
scientific and practical plan, combining simplicity
with efficiency, and economy with durability
As successors to the late Mr.. p Rahm of the Ea-
gle Machine Works, on Gary Street, Richmond

ronage heretofore enjoyed by that establishment
from It's friends and the public generally.

Home Industry,

As We walk along the streets we see in all the
stores and shops dozens of corn brooms which
are brought here for sale. This should not be
the case. We live in country admirably a.
dapted to the growth of broom corn, and with
an abundance of timber to make the handles
Cannot some enterprising citizen establish a
broom factory in our town? 1t would give en-
ployment to number of persons who need it,
and keep great deal of money among us which
would otherwise be sent abroad
The true secret of prosperity is to make ev-
cry thing we can at home, and buy as little as
we can abroad.
Many other occupations might be found which
would yield profitable employment to capital
and labour
We have two large foundries now in pro-
cess of erection which will furnish the means of
subsistence to hundred or more people. Let
us not conGne ourselves to this department of
industry Keep&e ball in motion and develop
home resources.
Those countries flourish most which give
concrete form to labour, and sell manufactured
goods instead Of the raw material
We have fine water power around the town.
1t is a reproach to our enterprise to see it IN
employed Why not build the woollen fac
tory, or substitute il It's Mace some other useful
machinery?
While we all go for demonstrating the Union,
we must not forget that it is our duty also to re-
construct our labour system, and re-estabsh our
prosperity. We certainly cannot effect this lat
ter object without the exhibition of industry and
enterprise. We must sell more than we buy,
and we nust manage to incorporate as much
labour as we can into the articles sold
New England had the sagacity to see that
she could not compete successfully with the fer
tile South and West in agriculture, and hence
she betook herself to manufactures. We are
somewhat Though in less degree) in the same
situation and we would act wisely to follow her
example in devoting large part Of our labour
to mechanical pursuits.
Who will start the broom factory?

Freedom in West Virginia.

At the conclusion Of the war, it was generally
thought that it was fortunate for the citizens of
West Virginia that they lived in State which
was recognized as loyal throughout the war; but
this was mistaken view, as they enjoy less lib
erty there than we do here. Lawyers cannot
practice their profession in that State unless they
take rigid test oath similar to the Congression-
al test oath. No persons are allowed to vote
without being first registered, and they cannot
be registered without undergoing catechism
which will exclude, in many portions of that
State, nearly all the citizens.
The registration of voters under the new sys-
tenn, adopted by the Proscriptive Legislature of
West Virginia, will commence on the 22d inst,
in that State and continue until the Dist of
April. The following is a list of questions to be
propounded to each person applying for regis
traton
l. What is your full and true name?
2. DO you consider an oath as legally and
morally binding as if administered by Judge
Of the Court, or Justice of the Peace?
3. DO you know that any false or wrong
statement you may now make is perjury and
renders you liable to punishment as a perjurer
and disqualifes you from voting and holding
office?
A. What is your age?
5. Where were you born?
6. Have you resided, or lived the last twelve
months in the State Of West Virginia? The
last month in Jefferson county?
7. How long have you resided in the United
States?
g. If naturaized, where did you get your
fret carticotn2 w bora your last2 Show
them.
g. Have you voluntarily since the lst day of
June, 1861, borne arms against the U. States,
the re-organiZed government Of Virginia. or the
State of West Virginia?
10. Have you ever forwarded money, pro-
visions, clothing, arms, ammunition or goods OF
any kind or letters or information to persons en-
gagged in the rebellion or living within the rebel
lines, for yourself OF other persons? What and
how?
IL. Have you voluntarily given any counte-
nance to the rebellion by saying to others that
the North was wrong and the South right III
the war; by saying if you had to fight you would
fight for the South, or similar expressions dis
couraging the cause of the Union?
II. Have you voluntarily afforded support
to the cause Of the rebellion by aiding Others to
go to the South, either by your words, by let
ters, by money, clothing, provisions, arms, or
otherwise, for themselves, AZ promise OF the
same for their families?
l3. Have you ever voluntarily left this State
and gone within the military lines of the social
ed Confederate States with the purpose of ad-
herring to said States or armies?
IA. Have you ever expressed desire or
wish for the success of the Southern army or
the defeat Of the Union army in any of their
battles, or rejoiced over a Union defeat?

Northumberland.

Can2da continues, says the Dispatch, to be
greatly excited by Fenianism. The news of
preparation by the Fenians to invade the British
Provinces excites the lveliest apprehensions
and the most active measures for defence The
reports that ammunition, arms, etc., were ac-
cumulating in the villages on the Lake Glam-
plain and at other points near the border con-
tinue to spread and grow in their formidable
character as they travel. The country is on the
qut ,are from Hamilton, c. w, to Montreal.
In Hssnilton, number of incendiary fires had
occurred, which were attributed to Fenians.-
Everything irregular is laid to the Fenians. A
feeling oe INSECURITY and a.ead prevails and sus-
picion is excited by the most trivial signs. A
poor fellow engaged in making corn -salve was
suspected of making cartridges and, being ar
rested, was almost murdered by the mob befofe
it was ascertained that he was a poor innocsnt
person, who never made Fenian cartridge
A great Fenian raid was looked for, and the
entire volunteer force of the Province was placed
under the command of Sir John Mitchell (most
singular name for a commander of the Queen S
regular forces) and those already embodied
were kept Oh strict duty. 1t was proposed to
embody the whole male population Of Canada
as home-guard" (that will be a terrible body
of men, as we know well here y
The commando -in-chief in an order dated at
Toronto, explains the call for SO large number
of volunteers to, be "the threatened piratica at
"tacks of lawless men, who are using the terri
tory of neighboring Power for the purpose
''of organizing an enterprise against the sover-
"eign rights of the Queen and the security of
'4ner subjects" He makes a strong appeal to
the people to come forward and face and repel
any invasion Of their coast.
Troops were at Windsor, Sarnia, Stanstead,
Prescott, and Brochvile; and reserves were
held at Hamilton, Toronto. London, Kingston,
Montreal, and Quebec,
At Toronto, Bishop Lynch letter against the
Fenians was read in the churches; and, for the
sake of the peace Of the city, priests called upon
the Catholics not to parade through the streets
on st. Patrick S day.
On the 18th, at. Toronto, the Fenian excite
ment had somewhat subsidized but the Govern
ment had not relaxed its measures for defence
A dispatch dated Hamilton, March 18th,
states that the entire regular force of the two
Provinces stationed in the places Immediately
threatened amounts to six thousand six hun
drea, of which two thousand five hundred were
Irish and unreliable This number does not
include the volunteers.
1t has been estimated in the United States
that fifteen thousand Fenians could be embod-
led for the invasion of canada

A New Radical Scheme.

It is stated, on the authority Of the New ork
Tribune, that the existing State governments at
the South are to be repudiated by the radicals,
and that, acting under the advice of leading
men in Congress, the loyal men, both BLACK and
white, in the Southern States are to shortly is

Projected Invasion of Canals.

The Canadian authorities says the Virginia
Herald, seem to be aroused all at once, respect
ing projected foray upon that part of the
British dominions by Feniaps from the United
States.
Gen. Sweeney, who appears to be the mill
tary genius of the Brotherhood is concentra-
ting upon himself the enthusiasm of those Irish
men who are weary of talk, and eager for work.
In his late speech, in Philadelphia, he pro-
claimed:
"Canodo is the paint She has frontier
and there are hundred PLACES to enter. If
the enemy concentrate at one, We can enter
another Canada once "a our possession. we
will be Joined in less thar three months with
Americans and we can get al tie materials we
want. When we conquer that territory we
will demand the United States to acknowledge
us as belligereats, highlands ,realt point is
Canada"
Gen. Sweeney is represented as having large
to have made preparations on toleraby large
ecale
His actions have been watched closely, and
believing that the period had arrived, a call was
issued from Montreal, on "Wednesday evening
last, for ten thousand Canadian nnhtia On
the very next day, it was reported that the call
had been fully met-each section of the ceun-
try ready with its quota, for active service.
It was believed that the Canadian Parliament
would be Immediately convened, the privilege
Of the writ of habeas corpus suspended, and
martial law declared.
The Canadian Government has taken pos
session of tine Montreal Telegraph Line, and the
Railway Companies are keeping their locomo-
tives fred up, in order to move of their trains,
should it be necessary to do so.
1t appears, that thus far, no action has been
taken by our own Government, but the strong
arm of power is doubtless ready. The United
States, of course, will scarcely permit armed
bodies Of men to leave her soil.

1t appears that but few years ago, Senator,
Wade Senator Wilson, and others of that
school Of politics now, were then, not only State
Rights men, but aatraists at that; supporting
''the resolutions of 90 and 99,' advocating
State Sovereignty, going to the extent ofjusti-
flying resistance, &C., &C. Now, ought not
these men have a little more charity towards
those who followed their lead, than they exhibit
