MANUFACTURERS the business Of
the city is slowly increasing, and Alexandria
steadily gaining in population and wealth by
the new trade brought to Us here by the Kali
roads canal, etc., let not sight be lost Of the
Importance of paying more attention to Man
ufactures. We arc unanimous in this point
all agree that this location is a good one-and
as to the success Of those that have already
been established that more are wantcd;-
yet it is difficult to make these conclusions
practical. All rejoice in seeing new factories
started and speak Of the great advantages to
trade. ETC., but each one is depending on some
one else to initiate new enterprise 1t Is GER
tain the effort will succeed if laborcd for with
the same zeal that has been manifested III
other matters. The first thing required is cap
ital. How shall it be obtained? Let JOINT
stock companies be organized, every citizen ia
king as much stock as he can afford, for all are
interested; let real estate men who own good
and substantial buildings, suitable for Manu-
featuring and not used at present to advantage,
place a low assessment on them, and take the
amount in stock for manufacturing boots, shoes
hats, caps, glass ware, agricultural implements,
or for founderies, machine and car shops.
There are good openings for any kind of Man
ufactorics and outlets for the goods manuiac-
tured by the railroads, canals and river, to any
point for market When the people here
take the initiaory stepsit will incitc and ndu &C
foreign capital to follow: and as an induccment
let all who will come and start factory have
the lot they use, Oh reasonable terms. 10 IN
duce this foreign capital, the way in which it
can be protitably invested must first be pointed
out in practical, common sense manner, not
merely theoretically. but by visible action.

GRADUATE AT TIE UNIVERSITY Among
the graduates at the University Of Virginia
this session, we notice Arthur Lee Rogers, of
Loudoun, in the school of Moral Philosophy.
We learn from an old student that Major Rog-
crs was attending lectures there at the time of
the secession Of the State, when he went to
Loudoun, raised company, and was in the
service until the close of the war. He suffered
fer several years from the effects of Il wound
received at Charlottesville, while serving on
the staff of Stonewall Jackson, and has been
delayed by business engagements; but, under
authority of resolution of the Board of Wis
itors, adopted just after the war, he returned
to the University last week, stood his cxamin-
alton, and received his diploma We can but
commend the Majors determination to gradu-
ate in spite of the war and all other difficulties.

Both result from the lack Of ability to con-
vert the food in nutriment. How necessary,
then. for those suffering from these alarm
ing symptoms to Immediately resort to a
remedy that viii strengthen the stomach
and digestive organs. For, as soon as this
desirable object has been accomplished the
health improves, and the patient resumes his

Stomach Bitters have attained world wide
popularity in such cases, and have been
proven the best and safest means of re-
moving constipation. toning the stomach,

MAN KILLED OPPOSITE HICKMAN.
"A man by the name of Daniel Lace
we'll was killed in Missouri, opposite
Hickman, on Tuesday last. Lacewell
formerly resided near Pierce's Station,
Tenn, and We learn had had some kind
of a difficulty with Mt james Snow, and
had left his home on account of It, For
several days he had been laying around
the ferry opposite town, expecting his
wife and family to join him, when it is
said be expected to proceed to Bloom
field, No. On Tuesday, Mr.. James Snow
and Mr.. John Lee, crossed the river
in pursuit of him. aud came across him
about quarter of mile below the fer
~. Our informant, who was present,
saws that Snow commanded Lacewell to
surrender aud that Lacewell signified his
willingness to do so, that Snow then ap
preached him aud shot him in the head.
that Lacewell then started to run or walk
of, anl that Snow followed him, placing
his pistol right on him, and shot him
twice more, until he fell dead Lee had
nothing to do with the shooting. Snow
snd Lee then returned to Rudell's fish
boat, aud tried to make Rudell bring
them across the river. but falling, they
went of, and succeeded in crossing low
er down. These are the facts as stated
by public rumor, aud we presume are
correct.

matism.
l was and am still afflicted, every night
suffered from cramps in my feet and legs
You commenced rubbing me on Friday
night, Saturday morning and night. After
the third rubbing have had no cramps my
feet and ankles have been improved little,
l have better use of them than when came
my shoulders, arms and back l think feel
little better-my knees have been worse
than they had been for some time but are
now improving little.
On Monday evening and Tues day, felt
much better than l had for several weeks,
but the weather became quite cool and l be-
came worse This evening l am feeling
better than this morning.
I think if you had given me three rub
bings day and about three hot baths
week, that 1 would have improved much
faster.
The Iinament you have given me TO use
will have rubbed on three times day when
