LOCAL MATTERS.

REGISTRATION IN MONROE WARD-A
WORD TO THE CITIzENs.-In accordance
with the notice Of Captain Rose, the regis
tration of the citizens of Monroe Ward
will commence this morning, at the store
formerly occupied by Messrs. Brander &
Cooke, on the corner of Second and
Grace streets.
We have been much surprised of late
at hearing some Of our citizens say that
they would not register, and for reasons
absolutely ridiculous. We had hardly be-
lieved any man, old or young, so stupid as
not to appreciate the vital importance of
registering, or to have any doubt as to his
right Of franchise after it had been so
plainly pointed out to everybody, who
had the right to vote, and who had not.
The man who says he will not register be-
cause he does not think that any efforts to
save the country, on our part, will be of
avail, and because he does not want to
compromise himself, is a coward.
The man who does not register because
he doesn't want to have anything to do
with politics and does not intend to trou-
bic himself, is selfish and lacks patriotism
and he who says that he will not register
because he is disfranchised and his con-
science will not let him swear that he has
given service to the Confederacy, either
has not the common sense to construe a
definition as plain as A, b, @, or else he is
carried away with that maudln, sickening,
hackneyed notion of being martyr to
ones country. Stuff! This will do well
enough for women and children, but men
who have the welfare Of the State in their
hands must need put an end to all such
foolish ideas. We have heard old men
and young both give all Of these rea-
sons why they will not register.
Young men, register. This country is
yours and you not only have right to
aid in working out its destiny, but it is
your duty to do so. Let no foolish or
false ideas of pride interfere with your
duty. Look to the future Of Virginia, and
not to it's past. Come forward promptly
and register. Register. Register!
We would suggest that persons would
not hang about the places of registration,
as they might thereby interfere with its
proper progress. Let every one, as soon
as he has registered, leave the place and
go about his business.

ANOTHER PROMISING YoUNG CITIZEN
GONE
"Oh, what shadow DER the heart is flung,
When peals the requiem Of the loved and
young"
A few weeks since we mourned over the
untimely fate Of the lamented Samnel
Tyler, and now we are called upon to
chronicle the death of another dear to
many of our citizens. Again has the
insatiate archer strung his bow and let fly
the fatal shaft, and with too true an aim,
alas it quivers in the heart Of George B.
Atkinson, one who short time since
moved among us in all the buoyant pride
and exulting hope of young and joyous
manhood.
When one so young, and whose opening
prospects gave such promise for long and
useful life, is snatched away, it is hard in
deed 10 repress the mourning sigh and
bow with submission to the decree. By
his manly character, gentlemanly bearing,
and his honorable and unassuming deport-
ment, he has endeared himself to all who
knew him; and now that he is gone, each
one of us would write as his epitaph:
"Green be the sod above thee,
Friend of our by-gone days;
None knew thee but TO love thee,
None named thee but TO praise

A REMARKABLE Relieve were shown
yesterday relic of the late war which is,
perhaps, the most rare and curious to be
found. 1t consists of two bullets, one fred
from the Confederate and the other from
the Federal lines, which met so full as to
be mashed fiat, tho one into the other.
Being the conical shaped Minnie balls,
they must have met on precisely the same
line of axis, and both being mashed
equally fiat, they must have been going
with the same velocity. Such an amicable
meeting between such deadly missiles from
opposing forces would hardly take place
once in ten millions of times. The balls
were picked up between the picket lines
in front of Petersburg.

UNITED STATES TROOPS AT THE CRY
SPRING.-Company Il, Eleventh regiment
of United States infantry, under command
of Major Vance and Lieutenant Sheppard,
are now stationed at the City Spring, on
Seventh street. Some twenty tents are
pitched among the trees, forming quite
little colony. The men are quiet and or
derly, and but for the occasional notes of
the bugle, and the movements of the
guard to their regular duty, the neighbors
would be unaware of the .encsmpnent.-
The company consists Of seventy men,
mostly Germans, with few Irish, and
some genuine down-easters. They appear
to be decent, well-behaved men. We had
lately an opportunity of observing their
drill, which appeared to be perfect. The
musket seemed to be actually intelligent

which he directed to be invested in safe,
productive stocks, or in loans on real es;

with intent to carry out the will, could not

PUBLIC BATHs.-The establishment OF
public baths has become a measure Of mu-

be no doubt that the health as well as
cleanliness of large cities must be greatly
promoted by bathing. Boston has set the
example in this country, and the greatest
benefit, as well as satisfaction, is derived
from her baths by the citizens. Richmond
might easily construct such baths; and
though it is now no time to insist upon an
expenditure for this purpose, 1t is well to
think Of the matter.

A GREAT GuN.-A twenty-inch gun at
Fort Hamilton was recently fred four
times with the following charges of pow
der: LIST, l25 pounds; I'd, $50 pounds; Sd,
LIS pounds; 4th, 200 pounds. The result
was highly successful. The endurance of
the monstrous smooth-bores thus estab-
lished, we may infer that it would be diff
cult for any form Of sheathing with iron to
withstand them. A solid shot driven by
two hundred pounds Of powder would do
wonderful work. The Monitors fifteen
inch guns were not allowed to be charged
with more than thirty five pounds Of pow
der. Since the war one hundred pounds
have been safely used in them. A writer
thinks that If the one hundred pounds had
been used in the fight with the Merrimac,
that vessel might have been readily sunk.
