The Right Course.

The Dispatch replies to an article iu The
Petersburg Hader, which manifests con-
siderable uneasiness about the new de-
yelopments made by the Ohio and Chesa-
peake company, which it fears may BE-
prejudicial to the interests of Virginia in
general, and to the Southside in particular
but our neighbor, who is leading bugle-
blower for the 0. & c., and is thoroughly
posted from A to 0 in all matters relating
thereto, tells the Inden not to bo alarmed
as no harm can befall Petersburg from that
quarter.
It says it that "the interest of Richmond
In the matter is far greater than that of
Petersburg, and there is no such alarm felt
here.' We are gratifed to see the Dis

favor of the most liberal and enlarged
policy with regard to railway improve.
msnts, as 1t does in this closing paragraph
wesay to our friend of the hder, let us now
act upon broad and liberal principles, give
every facility to trade and travel, and we all
be rewarded by success that never can be

The Lynchburg Republican says T. w.
Robertson, whose death in England has
just been announced, was the author OF
that sterling English comedy, "The School
for Scandal" and that he was the greatest
dramatist England has produced since
Sheridan. The Republican ought to be
better posted. Robertson, weknow, wrote
a scandalous sort of play, called "School," !"
which was very good in its way, as were
also his "Caste, ''Society, ""War," ""Ours,'
4" For Love, " Shadow Tree Shaft,
"Birth," and last of all, "Deatb," which
was the most dramatic of all his works.
He was certainly most successful and a
very talented play-writer. All of his
works are characterized by naturalness of
incidents and situations, brisk and lively
action, and elegant and sparkling dialogue,
and are singularly free from anything SEN
sational or melo-dramatc. Hence their
popularity with audiences of culture and
good taste, rather than with the crowd
that fills the galleries of inferior places of
amusement.

A Missouri Tragedy.

ASSASSINATION OF JUDGE LINDENBowER
| The st. Louis Republican gives addi.
tional particulars with regard to the assas.
snasion of Judge Lindenbower
F;om gentleman who has arrived in
tho city from Springfield we learn some
particulars attending the assassination of
Judge Liudenbower. The murder appears
to hive been most foul and cold booded
one. The cause which led to the bloody
deed had its origin in the fact of Linden
bower having bought at sheriff's sale
| Cann;fox's land. This occurred during
| the war, while Cannefox was South. Sincs
the close of the war Cannefox has brought
suit to recover his land, and, of course
very amicable feelings have not existed
between the parties.
On the day Of the murder Lndenbower
was standing in the wholesale department
OF the Humboldt saloon, in conversat' on
with Mr. Wm. Henslee. Whilst thus en-
gagged, Cannefox entered and asked the
Judge, GLOW about that land2" The Judge
replied that he would see him presently.
Cannefox passed on into the bar and took
a glass OF whislSey, and then returned and
approaching Lindenbower with pistol in
hand, said, "By Cd, you have lived long
enough" and commenced firing. Three
shots were fire, all of which took effect
and each of which the physicians pro-
nounced mortal. The Judge expired in
stantly. After the shooting Cannefox ran
out of the saloon into Messrs Young e.
Denton's livery stable adjoining the saloon,
and MIR. Young asked, "Who did all that
shooting ?" Cannefox replied, "By Cd.
| did that shooting" He was then prompt
ly arrested by the police, and there were
strong demonstrations made towards lynch
ing him.
The affair threw the city into wild ex-
ctement. Judge Lindenbower was
prominent lawyer, having worn the Judi
cial ermiue of that circuit, and was also a
member of the old State convention of
1861, having been elected to fill the vacan-
cy occasioned by the death of Judge Hen
drick. lie was about thirty-five years of
age, and leaves young family, who are
well provided for, as we understand that |
in addition to valuable property he leaves
a life policy for fifteen thousand dollars.
Mr.. Cannefox is man of about fiftv |
years, farmer living some five miles from
town, and of late years has been given to
He has family.

The LIFE and Character Of Darid This
is the subject Of a lecture to be delivered to-
night, at Leigh-Street Baptist church, BY the
pastor, the Rev. Mr.. Garlick. For sometime
past this talented divine has devoted each
Wednesday night in sthe week to lectures
on the various characters mentioned in the
Bible, which have proven exceedingly interest
ing and instructive, and we have no doubt that
the subject to night will prove equally so.
MIR. Garlick is thoroughly posted in biblical
history, and his discourses show research and
learning Of a high order. The large crowds
who attend at Leigh Street church fully attest
the great interest with which Mr.. G. is re.
garded.

| Skating Rink. = The most enlivening
sight we ever saw in Richmond was at the
skating rink Saturday night We did NOT
expect to see so large crowd, and great was
our surprise when, on entering, we saw so
many of our most fashionable ladies and cen.
temen skating. The ladies tell us 1t is the
most fashionable place to go to in Richmond,
The fancy dress carnival on skates, which is
to como off February l4th, is to be a grand
affair. All who skate that night will be
required to appear in some kind Of costume
pairing for it, and from some of the characters
we hear of it will be worth going one hundred
miles to see. We expect to see not less than
l,60o people there that night; and we would
remark here that the building is so well put
up under the flooring that 5000 people might
be packed in it and the floor would not give
way.

| His hands aud teeth were tightly clenched
and his whole appearance botokened agony
and horror.
The next body found was that of q
woman wearing black silk dress, new kid
boots, gold chain, lace sleeves and cuffs and
linen collar. Her face was charred by the
violent flames and bruised by fall or
blows. 1t was ideutifed as that of Mrs.
Pease, who belongs to a respectable family
in Buffalo. Men are busily employed in
drawing away the half-burned rafters and
stringers of the ill-fated bridge. The ice
surrounding the vale of death is thronged
with inhabitants Of the village, whose dis
may and expression of awe and pity we
inadequately describe. The baggage car
which has been employed as temporary
morgue contains spectacle most appal-

MISUNDERSTANDING is like silk

a mouse-trap get in and you are
caught, without the least prospect ofrecov-

after a season, and the ;horns alone remain.
Marriage among fools is like boiled calls

Marriage is like a roast leg of mutton on
Sunday-served up cold on Monday
ditto with pickles on Tuesday ay--and hashed
up on Wednesday. Marriage is the sun

The construction Of sea-going vessels,
suited for general purposes of commerce.
has ceased in Virginia the small average
tonnage, twenty-eight tons, showing plain
ly that oysters and cord-wsod are the pros
pective outward freights, and the voyages
contemplated the merest coasting adven-
lures.
The average tonnage Of the seven hun
dred and ninety-eight vessels registered,
twenty-three tons, shows most clearly that
ocean freightage is not the business in
which they are engaged to any considera-
BILE extent such freightage, it is conceded
being the lucrative part of the business.
So much for Virginia. Now look at Puget
Sound Of the twelve vessels built, enc
is five hundred and eleven tons the aver
age of the eleven, one hundred and eleven
tons, showing capacity for ocean sailing
and sea fishing purposes. OF the registered
sailing vessels, the average tonnage is one
hundred and twenty-one tons, showing
like capacity for sea service.
OF what use are our maritime natural
advantages, which we boast as unsur-
passed on this continent, if our people do
not utilize them for the purposes of COM
merce? Are we always to depend upon
New York and Philadelphia steamers for
our means Of transportation, and for our
foreign importations? Surely the erection
of such substantial and elegant edifces as
the custom-houses at Norfolk, Petersburg
and Richmond, was not necessary simply
to record the entry and clearing of few
coasting schooners and steamers. A wharf
boat would have answered that purpose.
No; Virginia had once commerce of
her own, and should have it now, but her
energies are misdirected, or paralyzed; and
Puget Sound, born into our commerce but
yesterday, is fast outstrippiDg the Mother
of States in her ocean race--a race for
both honor andprofit, open to all corners,
and in which all competitors may win
prizes.
