In an article oounselling hope and courage,
even in the midst of our present situation, the
Richmond Wing says there are some things
which even the fanatcal Ultraists cannot de-
prive us Of" the fertility Of our soil, our
mines, minerals and water-power, our climate,
our rivers, our canals and rails, the minds
that our Creator bestowed upon us, and
the education with which we are blessed
With such advantages as these, we may look
forward confidently to an suspicious future in
spite Of all the ugly and menacing indications
that environ u.s." We have always urged the
same siews. Let their be no despair, no CIV
ing up the ship, no looking allooys on the
dark side

The Baltimore Sun has most excellent
suggestion to the Congressional Temperance
Society. Whilst it admits the evils arising
from indulgence in strong drinks, it mildly
hints that Incorporate political zeal has caused
perhaps quite as much crime and misery in
the world as Incorporate indulgence in either
eating or drinking. If the Congressional
Temperance Society will widen the scope Of
its organization SO as to include moderation
in the use of political power, as well as Of al
cohol, it will greatly increase its capacity to
promote the welfare and happiness of man

WHE SINGER NEW FAMILY SEWING MA
y CHIMES recommended as s'unaucstion-
ably the best sewing machine in existence and.
satisfaction guaranteed or the money taken back
after thirty days trial. '
For the information of persons unacquainted
with sewing machines, we would state that the
Singer New Family Machine, uses two threads
making the Lock Stitch which is the same on both
sides. The stitch, (Which absurdly enough has
been represented as inferior to the chain stitch
of the Wilcox s. Gibbs,l is the one employed by
nine-tenths of all first class machines or those
selling at Fifty Dollars and upwards.
From the official report of sales for the last
year, it may be seen that the SINGER leads every
other double thread machine by Thousands. and
the Wilcox Gibbs single thread, by Tens Of
Thousands.
We furnish the only reliable hand machine,
from Twenty TO twenty-five dollars. By calling

From the Virginia State Gazette, Richmond
Virginia.


The satisfaction with which our last num-
Der was greeted by the people, is guarantee
that the Virginia State Gazette is supplying
the wants of an increasing population, and
that our Journal has become the leading Or
gan of the Germans in the State and Of the
South. 1t is important that our countrymen
should have reliable information concerning
the superior advantages offered to capital and
labor in Virginia and the Southern States
This shall be our AIM and we trust, through
energy and perseverance, to attract a large
number of industrious settlers to make their
homes among us, practically assisting towards
building up the waste places of our beautiful
South. Our first is to promote immigration
and capital to Richmond and other parts of
the State, showing that cheap lands can be
found unsurpassed in fertility, and that man
ufacturcrs, mechanics and laborers of all
kinds will be cordially welcomed, and find
employment at fair rates. By such means
only can we invite immigration and capital to
the South, to assist in developing the great
agricultural land mineral resources which we
possess, equal, if not superior to any State on
the continent. This effort should meet the
hearty support and cooperation Of our bust
ness community. Every step in this direc-
ton is towards Virginia's attaining that de-
gree Of prosperity ard power she is naturally
entitled to-equal to any of tho Northern
States.
The above will explain more readily the
object and purposes Of the new Paper The
Virginia State Gazette will possess the infu-
encc Of a large number (2l) of powerful Ger
man papers at the North under one direction,
and all interested in the objects Of the paper.
No argument is required to show the value Of
the channel thus created, to convey intelli-
gcnce of the inducements presented in Viz
ginia and the South, to capital and immigra-
ton. The above journal will copy articles
directly bearing on the interests of our State
and people, and in this will reach the eye Of
many thousand German readers at the North
and in Europe. 1t is intended more espe-
cially to reach those who are somewhat famil-
lar with our language and customs as we'll as
fresh immigration.
The promoters of this enterprise do not ask
for any assistance to start the paper. 1t is
already established, first class Journal, and
the business community generally Of Virgin
ia, should freely giyeit their support and ad-
vertising patronage, which add strength and
usefulness to the paper, in attracting to our
midst class Of industrious settless SO desira-
BILE to our State.
By permission, they refer to many Of the
prominent men Of Virginia and the South,
and especially to Gen. Henry A. Wise, Gen.
W. II. Richardson, Com. Of immigration,

merited tribute to our friend and patron, Jno.
A. Baker, general Commission Merchant and
dealer in Agricultural Implements, Washing
ton, d. G., whose card is to be found in our

The genial and well-known citizen, John
A. Baker, Esq, the proprietor Of the agricul-
tural depot on Louisiana avenue, returned to
his home and his friends several days since,
after delightful bridal tour throughout the

determined to let him, the world, and the rest
Of mankind know how they loved him, and so
a good old dinner, of the good old time, was
gotten up at Welcker' srestaurant, on Fifteenth
street, and the discussion of this dinner took
place last evening. 1t was the farewell of
Baker to single blessedpess, and in humor, in
heart and soul, in all that makes man an OBJ
iect 10 his fellow man, he (Baker) has always
been double-then why not in matrimony !
May the choice blessings of Heaven be his in
