those who were opposed to secession, and main
tanned their allegiance to the Federal govern

which resulted 10 the supremacy Of that

those who are called loyal men, and they
find it necessary to take ground against the ul-

INVESTMENT oP NORTHERN CAPITAL IN
VIRGINIA. We are pleased to add another to
the many instances Of the Investment Of North
ern capital in Virginia that have been made
since the war On Tuesday the purchase of
the land Of Mr. billiard on James river, 10 Mel
son county, about twenty five miles below the
city was completed by Gen. Stone, late of the
army. There is rich iron ore on the lands, and
they were houghtm consequence Of that fact
and ior the purpose Of making iron. The
purchase is said to have been made for Mr.
Vanderbilt, the New York capitalist, who
will erect works for smelling the ore. He is
already working iron and coal mines very ex-
tcnsively in Virginia. Ten thousand dollars
of the purchase money was deposited in enc
of the Lyncbburg banks Tuesday. The whole
amount we believe is So 900.
We arc always glad to hear Of these invest
ments and the consequent influx OF capita and
enterprise in our midst Virginia now offers
great inducements for both. Let them come.

EMPIRE CLOTHES WASHER.

yuyHE proprietor having increased facilities for
i manufacturing, is now prepared to furnish
all who are in want of good Washing Machine,
with the best one now in use. 1t is evident there
are two things besides cleansing clothes, which
Washing Machine must accomplish. In order
to be entirely satisfactory it must
Save Labor and Save the Garments,
for without these no other qualities will be sum
Gent to prevent its falling into dlsuse. NO"
these are precisely the points on which the pro-
pretors of the Empire Clothes Washer rest .he
claims of this machine, and they ChaneHSe an
Competitors to produce Machlne which,
while 1t cleanses effectively, shall DO II win SO
little labor TO the operator, and with such per
feet immunity to the garments as this. onthese
two points this machine has
TAKEN THE FIRST PREMIUM AS A
FAMILY WASHER,
whenever exhibited, and for its perfection in
these two points it is enjoying popular favor
which can he claimed for 10 other washer known.
The other points on which this washer has no SUI
peror are these:
1. The Quantity of Goods it will wash 1T
once. 1t will cleanse from four TO six shirts, or
their equivalent at one operation.
2. The Efficiency and Speed with which
it does its work. from two to five minutes being
sufficient for batch of the drtiest shirts.
3. 1t will wash a Wool Fleece without
tearing it apart.
4. 1t will do the whole washing, blueing
and rinsing, without either wash tub or wash
| board.
| 5. 1t takes no more Room than com
mon wash tub, being only TWO feet square tho
mechanical principle upon which it acts is thai
of the fuling mill, by which the mass of gar
ments while immersed in boiling hot suds, is rap
idly and repeatedly pressed together, and The
suds forced through and through the texture
In this process a well known chemical principle
insures the effect desired, viz Suds boiling no
combine with and dissolve ali greasy particles
| hence the dirt is softened and loosened and thu
easily removed by the operation above described
Two or three minutes thorough working the lev
er is sufficient TO cleanse a batch of five or sil
common shirts.
