Small D,celling-H Houses. city can
hope to grow rapidly unless she makes pro-
vision for the accommodation of those who
seek her borders. If Richmond is to be a
large and prosperous manufacturing city
and we see no reason why she should
not-our men of means must see to it in
advance that houses are erected which can
be rented at fair rates to the. artizans, me-
chanics and operatives which such growth
and development will bring among us:
Even now there are not enough small
dwelling-houses to meet the demand for
such habitations, and majority of those
we have are too inferior for the class of
people daily looking for houses in Rich
mond. The very men and families now
coming here, and who will flock hither by
thousands when the erection of manufac-
tories begins in earnest, are the bone and
sinew of any locality, and it would be sui.
cidal on our part to fail to encourage them
in every way in our power.
As the first step necessary to perma'
nent increase of our population and wealth
we hope to see our landowners and capi
talists engage in the erection Of buildings
that can be rented to the industrious labor
ing classes. In the construction Of these
houses due regard should be paid to the
health, taste, and convenience of the occu
pant, for well arranged, well ventilated
house, can be erected for the same none,
an inferior one will cost. Will not our en-
terprising people take time by the fore loci
and by multiplying houses, surely ant
rapidly, augment our wealth and popula
ton? as li, a9ais

Manufacture Of Extract Of Ba,k-4n
Important Home Eate,prise.--lt is known
to but few of our citizens $50 quietly has
the thing been done, that the buildings be-
low Rockets, formerly occupied by Styll q
Davis as distillery, have been converted
into splendid establishment for the manu-
facture of the extract of oak bark. Very
quietly but theoretically the new works
have been erected, and machinery of great
power and most superior finish has been
put up. sff
This machinery is well worthseeing, and
requires 4J0 horse steam power to work it.
Enormous quantities of oak bark have al
ready been collected and are piled up all
round the manufactory, covering space OF
several acres. The collection of this bark
gives employment to great many hands,
and moreover, as fast as the trees in the
forest are denuded, stave-makei's convert
them into slaves. Oak bark is used in tam
ming and dyeing, and the extract made in
Virginia is highly priced. 1t is not many
months since Thomas Stears, Jr., & Co.
commenced putting up their machinery, and
| it is gratifying to be able to say that they
will make this week their first shipment OF
extract, consisting of some hundreds of bar.

us so TO work at once and without de-
lay, and olcot tho Democratic ticket, by
u good old fashioned majority. We
must not permit a single Democratic
voter to romaln away from the polls
who can possibly exercise the elective
franchise. If any one has any business
at distance and is compelled to absent
himself for time, let him strain every
nerve to be at home upon this day. II
any are feeble and infrm, let their
neighbor5 tako them to the polls, so that
they can strike one more blow for the
true and only party Of tho people. If
any arc disposed to wavor in tho faith,
lot them be reasoned with in n calm and
truthful manner, and be urged by every
appeal to duty as patriots aud friends OF
"equdl rights and e2udl ldirS," to cast
their votes for the ticket placed in nom.
ination by that party which has always
stood unflinchingly by the right of the
masses, and has never faltered in its
allegiance TO the Union and the Con.
stitution. Never have we felt proudcr
of our party than we do to day. Ever
since the organization of the Govern
ment, 1t has preserved its name unfair
nished, and its principles intact. The
Disunion party of to-day have taken a
hundred names, assumed q multitude

a thousand disguises. But amidst all

transitory upheavings of the public

popular will--we are marching proudly
on, scorning victory at the price Of
dishonor, rising with renewed strength
and vigor from defeat produced by
treachery "against which no prudence

1t is in behalf of such party that we

more to your country-and the sun will
go down upon the field of battle, glid-

Butler Beaten!

BUTLEG has been defeated in his as.
pirations for the Radical nomination for
Governor of Massachusetts. The com.
bination against him finally centered
on WAsHnURNE, who had Gi7 votes in
Convention to 467 for BUTLER. We
honestly wished foul Massachusetts the
indignity and disgrace of having But
LER for Governor but another fate Is in
reserve for her. Whether WAsuBURNE
is any less indecent we do not know,
but he is certainly loss notorious.
BUTLER made a speech in which he
declared that having submitted his
name to the convention rs candidate,
he "felt bound in honor" to yield to its
decision and support the nominee but
he further declared that he would fight
his battle out within the ranks of his
party.
QUERY: If even "beast Butler" feels
"bound in honor" to submit to the de-
cision Of convention to which he pre-.
sented his name as a candidate, what
is to be said of those candidates in this
county, who openly pledged their honor
to abide by the decision of the Colum-
bia county Democratic convention and
are now running in opposition to its de-
cision? No man can look upon such
conduct in any other light than as dis
honest, treacherouS and knavish.

New Leaf In Naiural History.

The species of the genus politician
known as the habitual Bolter perhaps
needs description as well as other pecu-
liar inhabitants Of earth. He is pecu-
liar from other politicians in that he has
nothing to do but to find fault, to SLAM
der, to hatch up ill-feeling and jealousy,
to engender envy, hatred and suspicion.
be never works for any party--he has
no time to spend in that way-his sole
business is to work mischief, and he
buttonholes every body to that sole
end. Who ever knew him to attempt
any good, to promote correct action, to
endeavor to establish principle, to labor
to advance the interests of party or of
the public? None of these purposes
belong to his professiOn--he is only q
fault.tinder, a caviller, trlckster, q
getter-up Of ill-feeling. The tools he
works with are all Devils tools-the
virtues he shuns as fox does fl lre-the
arguments he uses all belong to malev-
oient and envious spirits, embrace only
wicked propensities, and he never re.
sorts to the elevating, the ennobling,
generous or charitable. He acts from
hate anu not love Of right. His modes
proceeding are of the unmanly order,
not open and generous contest. He
holds no public meetings to discuss and
establish principles and analyze facts
for the public benefit. He whispers in
the ear, is full of secrets, delights in
poisoning the minds of his fellow-men
against others, and it is always puzzle
to tho public to tell whether he is more
knave than varlet or more varlet than
knave. He is everything by turns,
false to every body, faithful to nothing,
and his very existence is burlesque on
mankind. He has private word for
every body, q separate scandal or libel
for every ear, and a poison peculiar to
each subject. Integrity, ability and
success in others he hates above all
things, and he is untiring in his attacks
upon them by whomsoeyer exhibited.
II he should sea q monkey without
tail he would warn all other monkeys
aGainst taille5s monkeys, and would
whisper to the tailless that he ought to
induce all the rest of his tribe to cut off
that ornamental appendage too. He is
never satisfied with what exists, and if
people were to humor his whim to-day
he would oppose it himself tomorrow.
He does not object because he thinks he
secs anything improper in your action,
but he affects to think it improper be.
cause it is your act. If he requested
his friends to send him feet foremost as
an ambassador to tophet he would rave
because they did not send him head
foremost. lie is an unhappy creature
Of contraries, is opposed to every thing
that exists and is friend to nothing
but turmoil and delights only in the
confusion and ill.success of his fellow
men. The full blooded animal is prob
ably rare in Columbia county but we |
ask the reader whether he has never |
seen specimen of this remarkable
variety of the human species?

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., ,

1t is known pretty generally and
ought TO be known TO every body that
a DANGEROUS, CORRUPT and
RECKLESS RING exists in this place,
composed Of Radical office-holders and
two or three disappointed oflice.scekers
who still claim to be Democrats but
always support the Radical candidates,
whose only purpose il ia TO plunder the
public, who arc armed with the Radi-
corruption .Jt9,d, which they use to en-
list corrupt recruits and supply volun.
tecr candidates with means to assist
them in the effort to Jredk dozen tie
Democratic pariy. These mon make
furious and llbcllous attacks upon Dem.
ocratic candidates and other leading
Democrats, falsely styling them a ring,
and uttering other gross and malicious
untruths, all for the single purpose of
injurlng the Democratic party. With
their pockets lined with portions Of the
Radical corruption fund, stolen from
the people by such Williams rs EVANS
and Others wo have repeat todly yexposed,
they button.hole all honest mon they
dare to approach and use their utmost
endoavors to poison their minds against
the most active and efficient men in the
Democratic party. They vainly imag-
inc that If they could break these down
that they then could defeat the party
and secure The Offices to themselves.
They are this fall making their last
dying but desperate effort for success.
Defeat them now and there will bo no
future trouble with them. But if sue
cessful now they VIII continue TO annoy
and weaken the party until they are
sheivcd. Let every Democrat deter
mine to administer to them an over
whelming and crushing defeat at this
| election, and the people will thereafter
be rid of all corrupt and thieving com.
binations between few of the Radical
leaders and men who claim to be Dem.
ocrats merely because they can injure
the party more by profes sing to belong
to it than If they nvowed themselves to
be Republicans. They really do belong
to the Republicans, but it is understood
by them and their allies that they can
do most harm by pretending to be
Democrats. The integrity of the party,
and the binding force of its nomina-
tions, must be vindicated, if the De.
mocracy of Columbia mean to retain
and increase their majority. Boilers
can do moro than the whole of the Rad.
icals to injurc the Democratic party and
are the most dangerous and formidable
Of all enemies. Democrats, if you
would maintain the strength of your
party you must crush them, or at least
compel them TO respect your expressed
will. What do you think of the friend
who constantly combines with your
personal enemy to defeat your desires
The bolter is politically in the same
light, for he constantly combines with
your Radical enemies to defeat you
He is therefore your political enemy as
much as the Radical himself.
