A veil Of sadness was thrown over the
services of the occasion in the death of
DR.. Stafford, whose remains were followed
10 their resting place On the afternoon of
the previous day. He had been for IS
years an honored member of the Church,
and for 81 years had held the Office of
Deacon, and had looked forward with

RELIEF FOR JEFFERSON DAVIS AND

NATIONAL HOTEL, NORFOLK, Dec. "a,
IS66.-Mrs. A. F. Leonard Respected
Madsm-By the enclosed printed letter
taken from the Richmond Enquirer of the
22d instant, you will perceive that, some
weeks ago, measures were commenced in
Texas to raise, by general subscription, Pc
cuniary aid for the family of that pure and
noble man who now languishes in an Amer
lean bastile, the 'vicarious sufferer for the
South.
''The letter referred to and the proceed
ing inaugurated uRder il in Texas will, /
trust, be regarded as constituting sufficient
apology iii apology be needed) for my
asking the privilege of being permitted to
cooperate with the Texans to the extent of
the enclosed sum Of money now presented
as my contribution (for ten months in adj
vance, on the basis proposed in the Texas
letter.
Knowing of no organization IN this
State for this object, and contributing as a
Virginian, think it would be more appro-
pirate regarding you as Treasurer for
Virginia. to place ray offering in your
hands, than TO send sag the way to Texas;
and l beg, therefore, that You will do me
the honor to take charge Of and apply it.
Until / saw the letter in the Enquire,
knew not that the situation Of Mr.. Davis
family called so imperatively for aid from
the Southern people.

HARRIS, ESQ.,: Esteemed Sir: / have the
pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of

The letter referred to by Mr.. Harris. is
signed Southern Sister" and sets forth
the fact that private letter from Mrs. Da-
Wis to a friend in Texas reveals the sad in
telligenCe that her husbands finances are
very limited. The correspondent then sug-
gests means for the relief of the distin-
guished sufferers, That the ladies of every
neighborhoOd contribute each not more
than one dollar nor less than twenty-five
cents. The following extract will be read
with interest:
Mrs. Davis was answering plain ques-
ton her friend had asked her concerning
her finances. By using the strictest econ
omy,' wrote she, we see cur way clear for
the next three months-beyond that all Is
dark Having to maintain two house
holds-my mother and children in Canada
and my husband and younger children
here, Fortress Monroe-my expenses are
necessarily and unavoidably great, in spite
ofthe rigid economy exercise. You are
aware that we have not one dollar save
that contributed by our friends. You have
been here, and so know that not one dish
goes upon Mr.. Davis table, beyond the
strictest prison fare, that is not paid for cut
of our own purse. The papers assure the
world that my husband is well taken care
of, but they do not say that it is his own
people who thus keep him from want"

Dear Sir: l have examined your Stomach Bit
ters carefully, and find it what you represent it
to be. The high order which the ingredients
going into it take in the Materia Medica, as well
as the most happy proportional combination Of
substances, make your Bilters far superior to any
similar preparation in the country. The fact
thatyou use only the purest Bourbon Whisky
must necessarily recommend your Bitters in
another point, especially as far as wholesome
ness and palatabiiity are taken into c0nsidera-
ton. l was well pleased 20 see in your estab-
hshment the process Of manufacturing your
Bitters carried en- by way Of displacement which
not only gives you a better product, but also
recommends itself by clearer operation.

abssring IN all our associations with him hia
sound Judgment and keen mind that emf
nently fitted him for the discharge of his Off
eial Duties But he was taken from us. Al
though tardy in it's acknowledgment we have
felt his loss, and would drop tear Of regret
at his departure, and tender to his mourning
companion our heartfelt sympathies.
I Resoined, That in a more recent bereave-
ment we are again reminded of the uncer-
tainty of life. Our beloved brother, in the
Eigor of his days, with bright hopes and
high expectations, is cut down, and we this
day pay mournful tribute to the memory of
one whom we all knew. Having labored
long and faithfully to the entire acceptance
of the people whose servant he was, death,
that seeks shining mark, aims the fatal
arrow and Ransom falls, while others older
in years and apparently in less expectation
of life, are left to mourn his loss.
As we join in our fraternal sorrow we
would also extend our sympathies to the fam
ily of our deceased brother.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions
be presented to Mrs. j. w. Conroe, and Mrs.
N. Ransom, and a copy be also furnished for
one of the papers published in each county
of this Collection District.
