II he /" Forge.

Mcssrs. Editors,-Since writing on this
subject l have learned from gentleman
now living in the city, who was raised neal
the locality referred to, that an old negro,
who died about thirty years since, and who
was fond Of relating his "reminiscences Of
the Revolutionary war, frequently stated
in the hearing of my informant that his
master, who was the owner Of the forge,
and worked it up to the time its destruc.
ton, when he heard that the British were
advancing in that direction, ordered the
negro, then youth, 10 sit upon one of the
posts of the gate opening upon the main
tho direction in which the enemy was ex.
pected to watch for them, and when he an.
nounced their approach, Choking" as he
used to say, "like flock of black-birds,' y
the buildings were set OH fire and de.
stroyed, and subsequently the owner had
earth thrown upon the ruins to cover up
the tools and materials to prevent their
being seen and taken H. e., captured" D.
by the enemy, .-
After the war, before an opportunity was
afforded to rebuild the works, it was well
known that bar.iron could be obtained
much cheaper from other portions of the
State than it could be made there, and con-
sequently the works were never revived
The old man frequently pointed out the
spot at which the works were buried, but
few credited his statement. His name was
Guthridge, and his owner is believed to
have borne the name of Jones. From the
same source we learn that the Evolutionary
history gave Colonel William Byrd, Of
Weston, the credit of erecting. and first
operating this important Ito the inhabitants
| of the colony establishment. The place
has been called ftThe Forge" without any
| ton of grist-mill near the site of the
same, and driven by water obtained from
the pond used for the iron-works, which is
called Providence Mill, and which will be
found thus located on Hotchkiss's-"Thirty'
five Miles Around Richmond"-map, gives

The corn is looking only tolerably we'll, and
is not O good crop. Tobacco is much bet

We are much obliged to our friends
Of BrOokville Lodge for the prompt
tender of payment of the tribute of re-
spect sent our columns. We must re-
spectfully decline the liberal offer. We
have never charged for an obituary.
We don't propose to; especially taxing
Lodge Of brother Masons for their
tributes of respect to their dead. If we
can't make an honest living without
this, we will quit the publishing busi.
ness. At the same time we reserve to
Ourself the right to admit or reject, alter
Or amend an ordinary obituary. y.-C0n-
sei'cdtire.
All of which is very liberal in an
" "official Journal" and in publisher
whose expenses are moderate. Our
rule, kept standing in the paper, is, to
charge for all obituaries, tributes of re-
spect, &C., and such is the rule of all
papers conducted upon business basis.
We are not a Mason, and are too poor
to defray several thousand dollars of
expense per annum, without the prompt
payment of all legitimate dues. 1t is
much more logical and just that Ma
sonic Lodges, composed of a number of
individuals, should pay the printer, as
they do the sexton, mechanic and 9TH
ers, for services performed, than for the
printer to work for gratuity. Such
work is not of the charity class. of
which we do our full share,-probably
twice as much as the Conservative, and
yet do not get line of public printing.
We understand Bro. Daves's fling. II
is unworthy of his cloth.

Lawrence, of Ohio, regretted during
the debate that one hundred first-class
funerals had not followed the rebellion.
iSe,aote.-Several bills removing pO-
litical disabilities passed. Schurz then
delivered an address of unusual length,
to which the Senate listened with
marked attention, reviewing the histo-
ry of the party division in Missouri, for
which, he said, he and those who acted
with him had been denounced as trail
tors to the Republican cause. The in
reference, at the solicitation of his col
league, of the National Executive, by
which State contest had acquired
more than local interest, and the subse-
quent defeat of the President, with all
his patronage, by the triumph of the
very principles upon which he had
been elected; the probabilities of the
formation Of a new party nucleus, and
prospects of the reforms in the civil SER
vice and revenue, were also referred to.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. l5.-A large
number Of sugar importers and refiners
were before the committee of Ways and
Means to-day. The committee agreed
to modification of the law, not reduc-
ing the tariff, but simplifying its ciassi-
fications. The proposed changes, it is
thought, will incidentally benefit home
growers, and has the approval of their
representatives here.
