Richmond closes recent letter thus:
"By tie way, what is to become Of
the ladies' and gentlemen Of Virginia.
born to atliuence, with refined tastes, but
now bercft of means? wish yon would
treat the subject, as you can SO well, in
your PAPER"
There Is bat one way TO treat the sub
iect. We know young gentlemen in
whose veins the best blood of Virginia
and South Carolina is mingled. lie was
a good soldier, for he loves war and
hates farming. On the hottest days III
summer VIC kave seen him, hoe in hand,
sleeves rolled up. arms bare to the ell
bow, working like a steam engine from
dawn until dark. This man, by pluck,
by industry and by prudence, will win
back what his father won before him by
means of the same qualities. Not the
pride of race, but the strength OF blood,
will mako him master again. Such a
man seM not be kept down. As for
those Virginia ladies and gentlemen who
will not stoop to conquer, Chat fact
alone throws doubt on the purity o.
their blood they will live and die mis-
ersbly, and their children will be cham
hermaids and ostIers to the descendants
of Yankee settlers.

W lip h0Paz arc 70 erect on the Is
land Of Juan Fernandez tablet 10 the
memory of Alexander Selkirk, whose
history is popularity believed to have
afforded De Foe the materials of his at
tractve story. The tablet is to be plac-
cd near a break in the high mountain
ridge which rises from the bay at the
northern part of the island. It is said
that to that high pass Selkirk used daily
to climb, in the hope of seeing some
friendly sail that might convey him from
bis dread solitude. ThStabIet will be
Of iron, and the inscription runs as fol-
lows: "In memory of Alexander Sell
kirk, mariner, a native of Large, in the
county of Fife, Scotland, who lived on
this island in complete solitude for four
years and four months. He was landed
from the Cinquc Porte (galley,) A. d.

kirk Lookout by Commodore Powell

the ground that he had erected the tab

THE WILLIAM BUTLER.-Mr. d. Col
Iier President OF the Eureka Insurance
Company of Cincinnati, arrived in
town yesterday morning for the pur-
pose of Investigating the burning of
the Butler, and making the necessary
arrangements forthe adjustment of the
losses. We are informed by him that
the Butler was valued at $4,000, and
was insured in various companies
of Cincinnati for $4,000. OF this
amount the Enterprise has $4,000; Ger
mania, 5000; Eureka, S2.0Ooi Boat
mans, $1,000; and American, $1,000
From this 1t will be seen that Capt. Mil
ler's estimate of the boats value, which
we gave yesterday morning, was rather
moderated.
We are informed by President Collier
that arrangements will be made to re-
ceive proposals for repairing the en-
gines of the boat and rebuilding her
cabin and upper works, restoring the
vessel to oil, intents and purposes to
her former condition. he states, how
ever, that the companies may determine
to make some other disposal of the hull,
in case further investigation should
make It seem better not to rebuild.
Tho amount of actual loss cannot be
ascertained at present. .l

FIRE AT THE BALTIMORE DEPoF.-
The passenger depot of the Baltimore
and Ohio road was ignited on Thursday
evening in such a way as might have
proved the destruction of the building.
Shortly after the departure of the even
ing train, it was discovered that
through a defect in the fiue, the Ere
had caught in the joists between the
upper floor and the ceiling. at point
just at the corner of the passenger hall.
The prompt application of few buck
cts of water extinguished the fire with
out material damage. No outside alarm
was given, as the IRE was foundto be
under control. It is fortunate that the
irs CHANGED to occur so near the time
for the departure OF the evening train,
otherwise it might not have been dis
covered till too late. ~ ,i;s
