has upon his farm, on the Telegraph road, about
four miles from Alexandria, considerable cot

Keeping Fowls.

Mr.. Albert C. vose, near Manville, pursues

course in keeping fowls. He has enclosed an
acre and quarter Of land with high fence

nine months Of the year these fowls give net
profit Of two dollars per day, or say hye hun

PRECIPITATION.
TO THE PUBLIC GENERALLY

Hhereas, being armed and equipped with
such a stock of goods, as cannot fail to strike
the beholder with bewildering amazement,
and please the fancy Of all; and whereas hav-
ing entered the field for the Fall and Winter
Campaign of Trade, am determined to re-
pulse, if not entirely vanquish the great sys-
TEN Of monstrous prices and murderous prof
it's which have settled upon our whole coun-
try like mighty incubus, sinking the poor
into deeper depths Of poverty, and dragging
the afluent down, and even driving many to
distraction. And whereas, have taken un-
usual pains in the selection of my stock, and
have purchased them all at The lowest cash
prices which will enable me to accommodate
the purchaser at the lowest possible figures:
Therefore I, Simon H. Hilb, do hereby issue
this my proclamation to dispose Of my stock
upon such terms as must give entire satisfao-
ticn. Whereas, I have this the 2Gth day OF
September, A. D., 1856 and of the indepen-
dence Of the United States of America, the
ninetieth year, placed my hand and caused
the great seal to be affixed.

something for the support of my family Be-

,ASIIBY.
BY ,oss R. THOMPSON, OF VIRGINIA.

To the brave all homage render,
Weep, ye skies of June!
With a radiance pure and tender,
Shine, oh saddened moon!
"Dead upon the field Of glory"
Hero fit for song and story.
Lies our bold dragon
Well they learned, whose hands have slain him
Drawer, knightlier foe
Never fought with Moor nor Paynim-
Rode at Templestowe;
With q mein how high and joyous,
'Gainst the hordes that would destroy us
Went he forth, we know.
Nevermore, alas shall sabre
CLEAN around his crest;
Fought his fight, fulfilled his labor,
Stilled his manly breast;
All unheard sweet Natures cadence,
Trump of Fame and voice Of maidens
Now he takes his rest.
Earth, that all too soon hath bound him,
Gently wrap his clay
Linger lovingly around him
Light Of dying day
Softly fall the summer showers,
Birds and bees among the flowers
Make the gloom seem gay.
There, throughout the coming ages,
When his sword is rust,
And his deeds in classic pages;
Mindful of her trust,
Shall Virginia, bending lowly,
Still ceaseless vigil holy,
Keep above his dust

GEN. EARLY.-We find an eloquent and
beautiful letter of thanks to the Ladies of
Winchester, from this distinguished officer, in
return for their patriotic attention to his fall
len comrades His letter closes thus:
'sIt is sad, sad indeed to be an exile from
my country, and still sadder to mourn the
loss of the most just and sacred cause for
which man ever fought; but there is some
comfort in knowing that the struggle which
developed the heroism on the part Of our SOL
diers and so many virtues in our women has
not been all in vain and wherever I may
wander, l will bear with me the proud conso-
lation derived from the knowledge that my
countrywomen, who were so faithful and de-
voted during all the trials and vicissitudes of
our dreadful contest for independence, now
that it has gone against us, remain true to the
memories of the dead. Power and money
may procure costly monuments and testimo-
malls to commemorate the names of those
who fought for the successful party, but all
the power and wealth of the world cannot
command so rich tribute as that paid to the
memories of the heroic dead of the Confed-
arate armies by the tears of the women Of the
South

How TO AVOID REPUTATION ?-We entirely
agree with the Wlncnesev. Pine. u. i4s answer
to the Richmond Enquirer. The Enquirer ad-
vises all who write on this subject ''to ad-
dress their ingenuity to devising plan for
bringing the payment of our debts within the
compass of our ability" The plan we COM
mend is more liberal and enlightened policy
on the part of the politicians and newspapers
of Eastern Virginia towards the people of the
Valley. The prescriptive sentiment of Rich
mond: which caused the resignation Of Sena-
tor Gilmer, and their short-sighted opposition
to Railroad which, by enabling the farmers
of the Valley-the richest portion Of the State
to find market for their products, would
do more towards paying off the public debt
than anything we know of-may well suggest
a remedy for our difficulties in dishonorable
reputation.
