No doubt our readers have noticed an account
OF the painful circumstance which happened at
Buc bingham Courthouse the lat Of september
which resulted in the death OF Mr.. A. A. WALTON
and son. The particulars OF this melancholy
affair would be too tedious to enter into but In
doing Justice TO the most njured parties, who still
survive it is proper to say that the base tongue OF
slander has brought about the destruction OF the
happiest family in the community. The grave
charges which have been alleged against the
surviving parties In question are the basest and
most unnit.g falsehoods that were ever fabri-
Gated anI from beginning to end without the least
foundation whatever. II seems that Mr.. WALTON
was suddenly seized with ft of jealousy and tenn
porary insanity from an evil yet utterly ground
less report which some bitter enemy Of all parties
had the diabolical heart to propagate as well as
manufacture, and Mr. WALTON. while in the heat
Of passion, and from the powerful impulse OF the
moment, treated his poor, innocent wife In most
cruel ard unmanly manner. But one side of this
question has been brought to light. and the public
are entirely in the dark as to the many wrongs
Mrs. WALTON has sustained. She, shrinking,
refined, delicate lady, was taken suddenly Ill at
this dreadful outburst, and having TO male friend
or protector, her unfortunate husband and dss-
pated step had full sway to poison the mind OF
the community in which they live.
No lady in Virgins bears more unimpeachable
character than Mrs. WALTON. and no one has ever
been so cruelty and shamefully wronged and she
may rest assured that she has the deep sympathy,
esteem, and high respect Of all who are worthy OF
her acquaintance. JUSTICE.

TOBACCO WAREHoUsEs.-The building
formerly used as the Public Warehouse,
corner Of Seventh street and the canal, is
now used as place for selling shingles
and other lumber. 1t is also used as a
refuge for the "retired" omnibuses Of the
late street line. The New York coaches,
"from South Ferry to Thirty second street
and Ninth avenue" are now lying silent,
forgetting the crowded thoroughiares OF
New York and the more quiet streets of
Richmond. There are also some invalid
express wagons, belonging to Adams and
the Southern Express. The mute-look-
ing stages that once ratified along the
streets full of passengers are suggestive of
that rattling through life which ends at last
as silently, and perhaps as uncared for, as
these forgotten stages.
Brooks Warehouse, formerly on the
corner of Eleventh and Byrd streets, Is no
longer in existence but on the opposite
side of the street q warehouse has been
commenced, and large stock Of tobacco
has been received.

CHILD BITTEN BY RATs.-We mentioned
in the Dispatch of Monday that small
child of Mr.. John +. Barnes's, on Church
Hill, had been very badly burned. Since
that time the little sufferer has been again
afflicted. Its parents were awakened in
the night by its screams, and on going to
the crib in which it slept they found that q
large rat had bitten it in several places
about the face and neck. The tooth marks
of the rat on the right eyebrow, the upper
lip, the neck, and hole through the child's
tongue, showed the ferocity Of the attack.
It's tongue is so sore that it cannot nurse.
This child has met with many mishaps for
one so young, being only three and half
months old.

STOPPAGE OF TOBACCO FACTORIES.-We
understand that the tobacco factories OF
this city will all stop operations by the 1st
of November. Some of them will suspend
earlier, beginning with next week. We
learn that this suspension is OH the ground
that the winter is unsuitcd to tobacco man
uiacturing. The manufacturers would at
no time have continued their business in
winter, but being formerly compelled to
hire their hands by the year, they were
obliged to give them something to do i'll
winter.
The throwing of so many laborcrs upon
the city without means and without occu-
patton is a serious matter, and subject
for the consideration of our authorities.
The colored laborer saves nothing, and his
earnings Of the season are all gone. lie
must now beg, steal, or starve. Starve he
will not, and if not fed he will steal.
Therefore the police force will be called on
for unusual diligence and sharpness. But
the police cannot stay the appetite, and
cannot prevent the procuring of means to
satisfy it. Therefore the police cannot
remedy the evil of hunger or starvation.
The subject must be considered in all its
TelallOnS DelOTe WISE ConcluSionS anu hiea-
sures can be reached.
Here we have the beneficcnce Of slavery
contrasted boldly with the evils of aboli-
tion to the negro. AS slave, he had al
ways abundance of food and clothing. Be-
coming free, he is not provided for. He
is only employed when he is wanted. On
the farm and in the factory he will be out
of employment at the most inclemcnt sea-
son Of the year, and as he saves nothing
against cold day, he must become great
sufferer. This is matter for those who
have perpetrated the greatest national
crime in our day--the breaking up of the
relations between the white and the black
man of the South-to consider and reflect
upon. If they can find anything crafty
ing in it, we are sure the negro cannot.
