MANUFACTURING must be our principal
source of prosperity. This once estab-
lished in its various branches will do more
than anything else to bring us back again
to the position that we occupied CONNER
cially in 1860 than any other cause. Manu-
factures and commerce must 20 together; !;
one begets the other. These established
with the completion of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad and straight line to con-
meet with the Virginia and Tennessee rail-
road, we may calculate with certainty to
see this city, without Jealousy, the pride Of
our State.
In this connection, We are gratifed to
learn that the spacious and substantial
warehouse ut Rockets, known as the
"Ludlam s. Watson Warehouse" is being
converted by the present proprietor, Mr..
Garret F. Watson, into furniture manu-
featuring establishment, under the super
intendence of Mr.. J. J. Bowen, who has
until recently been operating such an estab-
| lishment, upon limited scale, with prison
labor at the penitentiary.
The present cite is one of the most eligi-
BILE that could be selected in the city, and
with the large saw-mill in close proximity

Herewith, large amount of work will be
done, and giving employment to the WORTH y
and enterprising mechanic, and to much Of
the present idle labor of our city.
The very best and most improved ma
chinery will be operated in the building,
which will be propelled by one of Tanner &
Co.'s improved OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES en-
gines. This, however, will be supplanted,
ere long, by motive-power of greater capa-
city, as the business will require. 1t is
truly cheering to know that the Rockets
locality of our city is looking up again with
this large furniture establishment, the su-
gar refinery, and the very extensive brew
cry under way. We hope soon to hear the
elink of the hammers of General Ander.
sons force in that quarter in the construc.
ton of the new line of steamers for that
home enterprise, the Virginia Steamship
and Packet Company" which company, VIC
learn, is to be organized on the 18th instant
This latter enterprise once under way, as
we have before remarked, there is no rea'
son why our city should not soon become g
second Glasgow-Nature having been more
lavish in her favors upon our city thar
upon that of Scotia. In conclusion, We say
"Let us have peace" and We will soon re-
cuperate and prosper.

DEER FOR THE CENTRAL PARK.-Messrs.
Sublett, Luck & Bishop, of the Spotswood
Hotel, shipped yesterday by the steamer
Isaac Bell pair of young deer, which are
to grace the Central Park, New York. The
present was rendered by Mr.. Luck to the
commissioners several months ago, and
were accepted by the Comptroller in a
pleasant note. These deer will be stand
ing advertisement of the Spotswood, and
the idea of their presentation is worthy of
the genius who went to Washington to ten
der the hospitalities of Richmond to the
son of Queen Victoria.

CHAuOoN'S MODEL PoLICE-A SPECIMEN
BRlcK.-0n Monday night officers Roach
and Eggleston, of Mayor Ellyson's police,
on duty in Jefferson Ward, hearing Of q
disturbance at John Clarke's dance-house,
on Cary street near Fifteenth, went TO that
place and found large number of negroes
of both sexes (and some white persons) en-
loving " "shin-dig." They were doing
nothing disorderly, however, and the officers
were about to 90 away, when Captain" Pee
Wood mot Dooley's Pat), who claims to be
on the polce by authority Of MIR. Cbahoon,
came out Of the house in company with an
other person in uniform, and inquired of
the officers whether they proposed to make
any arrests. They replied they would if
the occasion demanded it.
Wood then waxed wrothy, sworc that they
should not make any arrests while he was
around, and going back into the house re-
TUNED with crowd of negroes. There"
eaid he "are two of Ellyson's police.
Now, pitch in, fight, OF do what you d--n
please, and if they lay u hand on one of
YOU wen knock h--ll out of them The
crowd, however, did not follow the advice
Of the tpsy fellow, and he soon cooled off.
The officers, meanwhile, stood quietly by,
not bit frightened nor excited, but ready
to make an arrest if necessary, and when
Wood exhausted himself resumed their
beats.
The affair was reported at the Mayors
court yesterday morning, when Mayor Ell
tyson took occasion to compliment Messrs.
Roach and Eggleston upon thcir coolness and
f.. bcarance under exasperating circum-
stances.

on Broad street between Smith and Henry.
Mr.. John W. Calder was called to the
chair, and Mr.. Dcpriest appointed secre-
tary.
The President read the following gard:
"7o the Citizens of Clay Ward:
The excitement existing in the city for
the past few days, suspending business, and
thereby injuring all classes of society,
proves it necessary for the sufferers to take
steps for better municipal government.
We sodnt peace, tdap, and order. A meet
ing will be held at Houck's Hall, on Broad
street between Henry and Smith, on Tues
day evening, April 5th, at u o'clock, for
the purpose of expressing the sentiments
Of the ward in regard to the late disturb
ance."
The President addressed the meeting at
some length and with great interest. He
told his fellow-citizens that the mover Of
the meeting had not yet arrived, but that it
would be well to proceed to any business
which might be projected by the gentlemen
present. The card had set forth its object ;
and beyond the simple announcement on
the card, he did not know of any other
work before the meeting. He was glad to
see so much harmony existing, and he
hoped it was good omen.
On motion, the following resolution was
adopted unanimously:
Resolved, That we, the citizens of Clay
Ward, do lend our support and hearty co.
operation to Mayor Ellyson and the Coun.
Gil of Richmond"
After the adoption of this resolution the
meeting was addressed by other gentlemen
and assured that in q few days all of oul
troubles would be settled, and the rights Of
our true citizens, and those who had re.
mained faithful to the true municipal au.
thorities, would be vindicated; and, at g
late hour, having transacted no other bust
ness, the meeting adjourned.
