Il Fact Not Generally known.-The orig
in of the portrait for the Goddess of Liberty
upon our coins is Of great interest MIR.
Spencer, the inventor Of Spencers lathe,
used by the American Bank Note Company,
was the artist who cut the first die for our
American coin. He cut an exact medallion
Of Mrs Washington, the wife Of General
Washington and the first few coins were
struck with her portrait When General
Washington saw them he was displeased,
and requested the figure to be removed
Mr. Spencer altered the features a little, and
putting cap upon its head, called it the
Goddess Of Liberty. If future artists will
bear this in mind, they will always take Mrs
Washington's portrait for their guide when
wishing to produce the goddess.

Is 1t Jitst?-There are $, 100000, O6O in
vested in Government bonds. If they paid
the taxation to which other property is sub
ject we would derive annually from that
source alone S75,000OO to 100000,
which would relieve the present tax-paying
cItIzens to that amount But these bonds
are exempt from taxation, and thus the la
boring classes not only give these ricn bond
holders from S75,O000O0 to SI0OOOO,OOO
annually, but they are further taxed $780,
100000 year to pay the interest on these
bonds. Is this iust7 Is this right?

Nothing shows more clearly the reckless
character of the legislation Of the radicals
in Congress than the case of the United
States and Mexico. Important events are
Transporting in the latter republic, yet this
government has no representative at the
capital Of Mexico The President nominal
ted Gen. McClernand for Minister and Mr..
Ouerburg for Secretary of Legation, but the
Senate on the day it adjourned rejected
these nominations. Under the tenure Of
Office law, the President cannot appoint
Minister to Mexico, however urgent may be
the necessity, until the Senate is in session.
This is a fair specimen of the reckless dis
regard Of the interests Of the government
which has characterized the legislation of
the radicals in Congress. Union and Dis

Whatever may have been the character
OF the other seasons of the present wear,
our autumn has been one Of almost sur
passing lovelincSs. Since the first of this
month, with very little interruption, We
have had the mellow Indian summer, and
just frost enough to kill the rank vegeta-
ton and destroy the malarial Influences
which produced SO much disease. The
health of both city and country is now

among the blacks as the whites. This he
ascrioed TO several cause.-the general
discomfort of their habitations, insufficient

SICK. When physician is sent for. il is
seldom before the disease has taken FIRM,
hold OF the system; aud the careful mrs

drawing a dividing line between

counscls, drawing a dividing line between
themselves and the white population, their
suflerings and privations must continue to
increase from year to year. That they
are capable Of taking care of themselves,
and of acquiring property and position, no
person at all acquainted with their charac-
ter can seriously believe. And yet they
enter on their new career with as much
confidence as if they inherited all the
qualities of the most favored people.
In this city there has been for long
time very numerous colored population.
Their labor has always been in demand at
good wages in all the branches of industry.
And among them there have been not q
few very respectable men, who have been
owners Of horses and drays, and excellent
mechanics in all plain work, who have
been largely patronized by the whites;
and yet, though these persons may have
lived in good degree of comfort, and be-
come the owners of the humble dwellings
in which they lived, it is remarkable fact
that only one Of all this number ever
amassed what may be called respectable
amount of property. This was man by
the name of Brown. He saved his earn
ings with wise economy, and added house
to house and lot to lot until at his death
he bcqueathed an estate worth $4,000 to
his only child, daughter, who, not in
heriting the talent Of managing it, is now
no bercr off than others of her caste.
In contemplating the course Of these
people in segregating themselves so COM
pletely from the white race, one hardly
knows whether to regard them more in
anger or in sorrow. We cannot witness
human suffering, even in the lowlieSt
abodes, and among degraded people,
without pain; and yet resentment Is the
natural feeling when we see them trying
to wrcst our rights from us, and lord u
over us, rs if this country was their herl-
tage. We should all like to see them rise,
as other men rise, by their own merits and
energies, wisely directed; but to attempt
it in any other way is thing not to be
countenanced or tolerated. In the nature
of things, the effect must be to breed ever
lasting disturbance and confusion.
Surrounded as we are by so many perils,
the conservative people of Virginia owe
it to themselves and their children to con-
fer together in convention; and for this
purpose they should send their ablcSt ard
most iudicious men to the Convention
proposed to be held at Richmond on the
18th of next month; and whatever they
recommend, after free consultation, should
be adopted by the whole constituent body
without a dissenting voice. The moral
effect of united but temperate resist
ancc to the outrages of Congress cannot
but be very great through all the borders
of the land.

ConI.MinfnS at Glover EEill-The
Miners, Payday, and tG;c Crops.


CLOVER HILL Coal MINES,
November l6, 1867.
The Bright Pit has again commenced to
raise coal. All the north workings in this
pit have been thoroughly repaired and
ventilated, and the miners say they now
feel as secure in this mine as though there
had never been disaster, as they are con-
WINGED, from their own personal know
ledge, that there is no danger of an explo-
sion from gas. Everything promises a
good supply of coal from these mines for
the future. Before the war there were
about 5000 bushels of coal raised daily
from these mines; and from the present
prospect they hope to be again able to
raise as much, or more.
Everything goes off quietly and in order
at and around this place. Once month
the much-talked-of pay day arrives, which
causes much animation in this and the sur
rounding country. Every person who has
anything to spare will be on hand with
their goods, each trying to gather dollar
or two; and on some occasions we have a
very good show of market of nearly all
descriptions. The creditor and the con-
stable are on hand with their garni-
shoes, ready to haul in their share Of the
coveted indispensable, as money is scarce
and in demand here as well as every
where else.
The corn crops being gathered in are
much larger than last year. Wheat has
been sown by nearly every farmer that
could raise the money to buy seed.
Many small farmers have sown wheat this
fall who have not heretofore been in the
habit of doing so, but the scarcity of labor,
and the money to procure it together, with
the reluctance Of the freedmen to work
on farms, has caused the agricultural in
terest to fall much short Of what it was
before the war. However, it is true that
much larger crops are grown in proportion
to the labor employed than formerly, as
the farmer has been convinced that it will
not pay to work poor soil with hired labor,
and they have only cultivated the im-
proved portions of their farms.
