Wherever an echo is found.
Oh, we who are serely smitten

Oh, young man, eager and hopeful,
Oh, young man, valiant and strong,
When the blows fall fast and thickest
Make answer with a song!

(CoNT1SUED.)
We have Just passed through a terrible
war and | agree chat the matrimonial mar
ket ouqht now to be brisk, for thisreason-The
bachelors have become SO accustomed to strife
that they have learned to like it-and will
willingly enlist in matrimeny as the next
thing to war. Therefore, it behooves you,
maria geable ladies', to look around you and
grab at some Of tho chances. But more Of
courtship and marriage hereafter-the are
Important epochs in a woman's life-for the
girls are publicspirited creatures, and turn
their fathers mansions into courthouses.
I have little tic say about the proprlety
of deportmcnt-a happy union Of the moral
and graceful It is. the consciousness of
knowledge of ones self mingled with respect
for the rights Of others. In our social rela-
lions it is Of much Importance in humanizlng
the female character. But we live in an age
Of tinsel--the world has thrown a gloss over
it and We too often encounter vile imitators
of what is termed politeness; quality SO
mixed up with hypocracy, that We can
hardly detect the genuine article.
The censor, who has been fed on sour
krout all his life, would say that excessive
gaiety, extravegant joy-aye, virtue and
modesty-are mere cloaks to hide depravcd
heart. Read such snarlers off your books,
ladies-they are the gall of society, and

LOCAL MATTERS.

A MANIFESTO FROM THE REPUBLICAN,
STATE EXECUTIVE CoMIITTEE.-The follow
ing card emanates from the State Executive
Committee appointed by the boilers from
the last Republican Convention:
''RooMs REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,
"R1cHMoND, VA, Dec. 13. 1869.
1" To the Republicans of Virginia:
The undersigned having been appoint
ed by large number Of representative Re-
publicans from all portions of the State, in
cluding nearly one-half Of the delegates in
the Republican State Convention held in
Richmond November 24th, 4 committee TO
present to the people the reasons for the
action of the delegates who withdrew from
the Convention, take this opportunity of
submitting the following statement:
"For long time it has been apparent
that if we would insure the confidence Of
our friends and command the respect of our
enemies the party must be re6rganiZed
upon basis that will bring to its support
every man who desires to secure the tri-
umph of Republican principles. 1t is useless
to disguise the fact that our councils have
been divided and our conventions too often
controlled by selfish and ambitious men,
who sought, through the party organiza-
tion, to carry out schemes for the advance
ment Of individual interests.
"For the purpose OF correcting these
evils and holding general consultation az
to the future of the party the late Convcn-
tion was assembled. Instead, however, Of
calmly considering, in the spirit of wise
craftsmanship, the course necessary to Sc
cure the ultimate success of Republican
principles, the Convention was ruled by a
spirit Of intolerance that Stified discussion
and practically excluded from its delibera-
tions men whose lifelong record ought to
have commanded attention in Republican
assemblages.
"FOr these reasons, and in view of the
fact that no election is likely to be held for
4 considerable time, this has been deemed a
favorable opportunity for inaugurating a
movement calculatedtt to unite all Of the Re-
publican elements in the State. While we
cannot consent to the slightest lowering of
the standard of progressive Republicanism,
wefully recognise the great fact that the ques-
tions settled by the late election have ceased
to be issues, and have passed out of our party
politics forever; and relying upon the wis
wisely the status Of the State and Legisla-
ture, we cordially invite all who are in favor
Of carrying out, in letter and in spirit, the
provisions of our Constitution to unite in
building upa Republican party that shall
command the confidence and respect of the
people Of this great Commonwealth.

/, CHAMBER OF CoNMERCE.-A meeting of
the Board of Directors Of the Richmond
| Chamber of Commerce will be held this
evening at O'Clock. At this meeting the
committees engaged in the reception Of the
National Board Of Trade will present their
reports on expenditure, &c.
At the meeting Of the Board held on the
| 10th Of last month the President, David J..
Burr, ESQ.,, offered the following preamble
and resolution, and they were adopted
unanimously, and referred for report to the
Committee on Manufactures si;1l
"Whereas the present Commissioner of
Internal Revenue has decided that tobacco
and whiskey destroyed while in bond, by
fire or at sea, or by any unavoidable acci-
dent, must nevertheless pay the revenue
tax, contrary to the decision Of the former
Commissioner
" Resolred, That the Committee on Man.
ufactures inquire and report what steps
should be taken in order to relieve the mani
ufactured-tobacco interest from this addi-
tional and unnecessary burthen." "
X report on this important subject is also
expected ut the meeting this evening.
At the meeting of the Board held on the
27th of October last the following preamble
and resolution, offered by the President,
were adopted:
"Whereas continued complaints are
made Of determinations which operate In
uriously to the trade of Richmond with
the interior therefore
.Resolued, That the Committee on In
land Trade investigate all said complaints,
and make report of the results of their in
vestigations; and any such representations
brought to the notice of the Board shall be
referred to said committee"
If any complaints of the character above
indicated have been made, report on them
will, it is presumed, be presented this eve
ming.
At a recent meeting of the Board the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted
':Resolred That the Committee on FL
nance inquire into and report the most
feasible mode of increasing the amount OF
capital available for the legitimate trade OF
the city"
A report from the committee to whom
this subject was referred will, we presume,
be also presented.
Reports are also due from the committee
appofnted to determine "what constitutes
n grain delivery; on "the standard weight
of certain articles of commerce ; and on
twhat changes are desirable in the present
State inspection laws" All these are very
important subjects, and reports on them
are looked for with much interest by the
mercantile community of this city. '.
We hear that very elaborate report has
been prepared on the inspection of -four,
and will be certainly presented this evening,
by L. D. Crenshaw,- Esq, Chairman OF the
Committee on Commerce. The tobacco
trade, too, have taken up the subject OF in
spections, and we believe are engaged in
preparing their report. The chairmen OF
the different committees are /: Commerce,
l.. D. Crenshaw Finance, Thos. Branch ;
Manufactures, r. e. Blankenship; Mining,
Albert Ordway; Inland Trade, John Pur-
cell Outward Trade, I. w. McCance.

TIRE CARDIFF GIANT-ThiS wonder Of an
hour is now proved to be humbug. The
Syracuse Journal admits it, and feels con-
tempt and loathing for the authors OF the
fraud. It declares the proofs are conclu-
sive that Hull, the relative of Newell, who
got $1,000 as his share of the proceeds of
the sale, was the prime mover in this mpO-
sition. He, with one Jones and one Glass,
went to Fort Dodge. Iowa, in June, 1868,
got the block Of gypsum and took it to
Chicago. It was cut there GLASS was the
sculptor), the statue was boxed and sent to
Syracuse by Central railroad from Buffalo,
thence was taken to Union, Broome coun-
ty, by rail- There Hull took it with four
horse team to Newell's farm. .-..
The cost Of making, moving, and burying,
the statue was $1,000. The Journal says
Hull confesses the fraud, and excuses it on
the plea that he must provide for his fam
ily. The truth has been long coming, but
it comes now "as we told youp
