In the National Virginian of this morning,
am reported as having said that III recently
heard Judge Underwood state that he had
formed a club of twenty subscribers for the
STATE JOURNAL, and that he bad nearly CON-
pleted another" When Judge Underwood
used the language attributed to him above, it
was not In reference to the STATE JoUR-
NAL, as am reliably informed, but the "New
York Independent" which be then held in his
hand, and which l supposed to be the JoUR-
NAL.
reference was made by me to the rapid
increase in the circulation of the STATE JoUn-
NAL to a gentleman; and as one evidence, re-
ferred to the language of Judge Underwood,
which supposed referred to the JOURNAL, but
which referred, as have stated, to the hide
pendent.
This correction deem due to Judge Under

Buried at Hollywood od-We found upon
q recent visit to Hollywood, the graves ofthree
late members Of the Federal army, which are
the only ones bearing such inscriptions as to
enable us to recognise them.
We give below the names of those buried
there, with the dates of their death, and the
companies of which they were members:
Anton Marz, Co. X, U. S. l., died October
10th, 1867.
Private Henry Pryor, Co. G., 11th US. l.,
died October, 1867. Aged "a years.
Otto Peters, musician, Post Band, Richmond,
Va, died November 7th, 1867, aged 81 years,
6 months.
These graves are said to be directly in the
course of one of our city streets, which may
some day pass over them. Why their remains
have not been moved, we are at a loss to know2
While strewing flowers over the graves Of
your own loved dead ones, will not some young
lady possess heart of sufficient magnitude to
induce her to drop one single bud above those,
who, although fighting under different bano
ner, still exhibited heroic virtue in defending
the cause of bis country. No nobler act, we
believe, could be done this day than this.

Suitable The Democrats have at last
succeeded in finding suitable places to nominate
their candidates for the next City Council.
Even this has disappointed us, as we thought
it impossible to fiud such places, but it seems
we were mistaken. The heavy part of the job
is still on their hands, which is finding suitable
candidates. This will be hard to do, as bust
ness men will not have the time to devote
couple of years to correcting the financial
accounts of the going out concern. neither
would they be willing to occupy the dirty seats
soon to be vacated, without thorough scrubs

ratnk.-To-day about ~ o'clock, a
white man, evidently under the influence of
some strong stimulant, feeling himself too
weary to continue erect. stretched his gigantic
frame on the soft side of the pavement, on
Main street, near the postoffice, where no
doubt he imagined he would have an undis
turbed snooze. Plying the sorrows of poor
old cuss, he was gently elevated from his re-
clining position by two colored BARRIERS, who
kindly started him on his wild career. Draws
ing "a pen-knife, keen and whetted for the
fray, he passed up the street stabbing at every
body he met, among whom was to be found
men of all coors and professions except one,
and that noble exception was-the perlice. He
never stabbed at one of them, because there
was nary one in sight Election time draws
nigh, which may account for their scarcity.

Memorial Ceremonies. To-day has
been looked forward to by our citizens with
bright anticipations, it being named as the oc-
casion to decorate the graves of the Confede-
rate dead, now sleeping at Hollywood. The
morning gave poor promise of fair weather,
and great fears were entertained that the cere
monies would be interrupted by rain. For
some hours about the middle of the day, how.
ever, the clouds dispersed, aud the sun shone
forth in radiant splendor; but later in the
evening dull, heavy clouds again covered the
sky, and the rain fell briskly and still contin-
ues as we go to press.
Four car loads of ladies and gentlemen ar
rived from Petersburg this morning, and are
taking part in the proceedings. Large mum.
bers have crowded the street cars from early
morning until the present hour, as we'll as the
numerous hacks and wagons called into res
QUESTION.
We are unable at this time to give any def
mite account of the proceedings on the grounds,
but are informed that the place is crowded
with large numbers of visitors and an abun-
dance OF flowers, which are being scattered
profusely over the so oldiers' graves.
On entering the gate, you behold a beauti-
fal arbor composed of evergreens and rare
flowers, eneircIing Valentines bust of General
Lee, the construction and management of
which is under the charge of Mrs. Wallace
Our morning contemporaries will be able to
give a full and accurate description of the
days proceedings.

AGENTS FOR THE SALE OF THE
Thomas Lefel's Patent Turbine Water Wheel,
and Manufacturers of Improved Mil Mach inery,
Mill Burrs, Boiling Cloths &C., &c,
Plans, drawings and Specifications furnished
upon application. Also manufacturers of the
PLANET MOWER & REAPER COMBINED,
patented by VIM. F. Cochrane, formerly of
Springfield Ohio. The machine is nearly wholly
constructed of iron, making it durable and
strong. The main frame and cutting box can be
raised by one lever without inconv enience to the
driver whilst sitting upon his seat, providing ia
cities for the machine to pass over stumps and
other Instructions of greater distance from the
ground than any other machine. The cutting
apparatus and swathing device Can be folded
parallel together and both brought to occupy a
compact position behind the driver and the rear
part of the frame nearly within trail of the
IRVING " HEELS.
The same be shipped without detachng any
of the parts, making it more convenient to be
handled by the merchant or stored away by the
farmer when the season for its use has passed.
Thd mechanical construction of the Machine
provides the means of self adjustment in all its
MACHINERY SHAFT BEARINGS;
so that by the unscrewing of three nuts from the
cross gurders, the whole mechanism of the ma
chine can be presented in detail on the field, if
necessary, and any part at once enewed and re-
placed by the aid of the most ordinary opera
ton, without binding or craDping any part of
the mechanism of the machine. In fact it is but
the work of two men to take the machine in de-
tail from the shells of the store room and put
the whole together in complete operation TWEEN
ty minutes time. The machine may be shipped
in square boxes circumscribng the diameter of
the driving wheels, delivered on the field, where
the boxes may be opened and in twenty minutes
the machine from detail will be found for at
tachment of the horses.
Mr.. b. Fotz, of Springfield Ohio. of sixteen
years experience in the business, explaining his
opinion of the superiority of this machine, says
that without single exception the practical men
and farmers of that community acknowledge it
to surpass II other machines, and that it must
at early day assume the position of the trium-
plant machinein the whole World.
