THE PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The excellent structures now in process OF
erection in different portions of the city for
the purposes of education, give ample tes-
timony of the high appreciation which our
people have for the cause of literature and
science. These buildings have been con-
structed with special view both to the
convenience of teachers and scholars. In
style of architecture employed, due regard
has been paid TO the appearance OF the
buildings themselves and to their especial
needs as schools.
The old Seamen's Bethel now known as
BetheD, which was built under the super
intendence of the Rev. Francis j. Boggs
and others, and intended as place of wor-
ship for sailors, is now undergoing repairs
which will change its appearance and make
it in all respects first-class school build
ding. The basement will be divided lon
gitudinally by partition wall SO as to afs
ford admission on each side of the room.
The audience room on the second floor will
be entirely remodeled and wainscoated.
The outside will not be materially altered,
but will be simply painted over. In front
of the building there will be q neat picket
fence with double-arched entrance.
The old Lancasterian school-house, now
known as the "Valley School," is also in
process Of renovation. On the first floor
there will be two partitions, making three
school rooms, same on second floor, making
in all six school rooms, with capacity, es-
timated by Superintendent Binford, of seat
ing 800 scholars. The exterior will be
stone-color washed. There will be three
entrances, one for the girls and two for the
boys. The play ground is large and well
shaded. These buildings have been pur-
chased by the city and turned over to the
School Board. The time for the opening
of the session is fast approaching, and the
scholars will find upon their entering, that
everything has been provided for their plea
sure and comfort.

COMMUNICATED.


To the Editor oftae State Journal.
o. In the Washington Chronicle of Sep
tember IA, l noticed communication
from correspondent, who uses the sigma
ture "More Anon" Why this writer
chooses the Washington journal as his
medium, is plainly apparent to all who
know the importance to a certain party, of
guarding his position, at the Capital, and
the possible consideration he may receive
for his side thrust at gentleman, who has
exhibited similar degree of moral courage
to that shown by General Longstreet, and
other ex-Confederates.
This correspondent speaks of his own
position in the highest style of selG-gratula-
ton. ''As for us, we plant oursel, es as
being Republicans pure and unalloyed."
1t is not possible that he is like some
other ''pure and unalloyed Republicans"
planted like post, holding his own posi-
ton, but neither increasing, nor the cause
tree, not only growing himself in strength
and usefulness, but drawing to him and
sheltering weaker plants. | would COM
mend to "More Anon" a careful study of
the 18th and goth verses Of chapter 2, Cen
eral Epistle of James.
Republicans in Virginia must show their
faith by their works, for 'fath without
works is dead" Instead Of hunting up
musty records as to what men have been,
make careful study of what they now are.
The patriot who dotted the grey and honest
ly works for Republican principles to-day,
is more valuable to his country and party,
than he who wore blue, and now clothes

age of As years, after short and painful Illness.
When she, whose presence and example gave
precept to those most dear to her, departs this
life, we feel that there is a void which il is mpo
sibe to fill. We miss her t-and words fail TO ex-
press the intensity. Well can we remember how
kind, charitable, true and consistent was she in
all her views; especially in regard to christian
charity, and kind, conciliatory and loving dis
position to every one; of sneh n nature that nei-
ther discord, il-wiil nor envy found an abiding
place in her dwelling--one whose vacancy ii will
be impossible to fill. While we mourn her
one who has only gone before, we are assured
that she will receive that reward which such
christian spirits will surely receive; and we ac-

THE LIME Trade Before the damage
to the canal, one year ago, all active and,
to some extent, new interest was springing
up in the lime trade, through the energy and
industry of Messrs. Dillon & Elicit, of this
city. The largest kilns for burning ever
erected in Virginia were built by them near
the canal in the county of Botetourt. Sts-
pension of transportation destroyed for the
time being this enterprise, which had grown
into large proportions, but now that it is
restored, the proprietors Of the works re-
commence operations for the purpose of
developing, on large scale, this element Of
our resources. In Alabama, North and
South Carolina, and a large portion of Vir-
ginia, this lime has come into general favor
for agricultural and building purposes. The
lime trade and many other valuable pur-
suits will receive fresh impulse in conse-
ouence of the restoration Of the canal to the
Valley.
Botetourt county is the home of the lime
business in Virginia, and it is carried Oh
there to a considerable extent. John S,
Wilson, Esq, of Buchanan, has for mum.
Der of years been largely engaged in tht
manufacture and shipment of lime. Tht
destruction of the canal mterfered materially
with this business, but in short time i
promises to be renewed with i,creaset
energy.

PROFITABLE INvESTMENT-A Lesson
for Richmond Capaalists.-The Petersburg
Index Of this morning devotes considerable
of its editorial space to the statement of
profits of the Petersburg Cotton Mills, an
establishment for the manufacture Of cot
ton goods from raw material. By this ex-
hibit the company, in eleven months, made
clear profit of $50, $780, equivalent to
25 per cent. on the capital stock. With
such facts staring us i'll the face, Rich
mond, with her immense water power, and
her numerous sites for building factories,
has nota single cotton .tactory. One is in
successful operation, we believe, in Man
chester. We hope some of our enterpri-
sing capitalists will take to their counting
rooms the statement of the agent of the Pc
tersburg Cotton Mills, and consider the
propriety of investing a portion of their
surplus capital in similar enterprise, which
has proven so profitable to Petersburg.

THE RICHMOND Cry RAILWAY.

~ 'iiS otONNiiViuSio . vi SSNSi al tiiOuSdiu uoi-
lars. 1t is great accommodation to those
who have long distance to travel, and in
TACT has become one of the necessities OF
every city that makes any pretensons to
size and rcspectability.
The running of cars, in city like Rich
mond, is surrounded by many, difficulties ;
among them no greater one is experienced
then that of making distinctions between
the white and colored people, who are dis
posed to make convenience of them.
A difficulty OF this character occurred
this morning. MIR. John Oliver, a respect
able colored man, connected with the inter-
nal revenue department, In attempting to
ride on car No. ., complains that he was
forcible elected from the car by the driver,
and that such violence was used and he so
roughly handled as to receive severe bruises
and injuries. Whatever may be the facts,
he bears marks of violence, which were re-
ceived, according to his statement, by the
rough and violent treatment of the driver.
PreferIing to hear both sides of the ques-
ton, we called upon the president of the
road, (Nlr. Hoy0 who informed us that the
driver attempted by persuasion to induce
MIR. Oliver to leave the car, and that after
several repeated refusals, he took him by
the arm and used some force to put him
off: gI
We mention this case i'll order that we
may show the colored people some of the
difficulties under which the city railway la
bors, and to give few words of advice to
them as well as to the drivers in charge of
these cars.
We have no prejudice that would induce
us to leave a car, because q colored woman
or man was in it alone, and that would per-
init us to remain, 2rortded that individual
was lucky enough to have in charge some
white gentleman's baby. Not of this class
are we; but there are number OF silly
persons who do entertain such pr9udtcc,
tor it can be nothing else) and 1T is con-
fined Principally to weak-mlnded women.
The city cars must be supported, and if
they are not, then their owners will sell
them and nobody can ride. The question
then Is, shall we have them at all ? SO
long as this prgnd'ce lasts, the colored
people must submit to such regulations as
are adopted, or falling to do this will sub
Ject the company by suit or otherwise to
such loss as will induce them to sell out the
enterprise.
1t was by order OF former military
commander that the present regulation OF
distinguishing cars, provided for white and
colored persons, was adopted. and so or
dered as perhaps the easiest solution OF the
difficulty. The colored people do not sup
port the cars asslgnodto them, equally with
the whites; II they did, and more cars were
required for their accommodation, they
would be furnished by the company.
The question OF a colored mans right to
rae IN any OF the cars need not be consider
ed by us, Tor while zoe say they have the
