killing twelve men. The rebel loss in
these engagements was insignificant. Con-
tinued activity in the eastern department
gives color to the Cuban claim that part of
the Hornets cargo was landed after unfor-
tunate attempt at Puerto Praya. These
successes, following the great victory at
Mayart. inspire fresh hopes in insurgent
circles here, and reports from the insur-
rectlonary districts show much warlike
spirit. Trustworthy information gives the
insurgent loss in the attack on the tower
at Pinto at six killed, all Chinese and ne

Ii you will permit me now, | shall di
rect the readers attention to one. and nro
baby the only, practical way to attain tbi
result. Our manufacturers must seek th
consumer and offer him his wares. TIL,
dealer in the South and West must be i'm,
portuned, and if Richmond prices with
freghts added are less Tor even the same
than net cost of same goods from othe,
manufacturers, the end is attained and
Richmond becomes mistress of that section
OF the Union nearer to her than auy other
competitor. No power which we cannot
control can be successfully used to divert
our trade, until soma community near,y
the consumer, with equal natural facilities
for manufacturing, shall step in between
us and our prospective supremacy.
Our manufacturer should 60 out at once
into the regions of the consumer, take his
price-list with him, and tariff of rates !:
guarantee the cost Of goods at the pur-
chaser's door, and wait no longer for the
consumer to come here; master little
enterprise, and then exert it in a way that
cannot fail of beneficial result. and all
will be we'll The cost of manufacturing
a great many articles in Richmond is lees
than 1t is in any city in the Union. Then
why do we not have the monopoly in
these articles? 1t is simply because we
have not taken advantage of our oppor-
tunites. We have been too selfish. too
unmlndIul of the claims of the poor, who
must labor. or starve; too narrow-minded
and illiberal with respect to the changes
which have been wrought in the last few
years; too slow to learn that an old Gus
tom, like an old coat, is not desirable when
full OF holes and without the power to re-
tain warmth.
1t is no easy matter to effect revolution
in the habits and customs of communities
1t is accomplished only by continued effort
and untring patience. But when prin-
cipe is once put in operation, it will not
become inactive until it shall have accom-
pllshed all that can be done.
There are several manufacturers of Rich
mond who have caught the spirit of the
age we live in. They have gone out among
he people. and at points where Baltimore
md New York have controlled the whole |
rade, they have established the most sats-
actory relations with the people.

Georgia and Tennessee, | will venture
word or two.
Let us look around us and see what ar
tlcles are manufactured here no,o. We.
Ind that there are comparatively but few
establishments of such magnitude as those
OF the same character further North; but
yet we have facilities for supplying much
larger orders for wares than we have ever
tlled. We manufacture railway material,
OF almost every character, iron, nails,
buckets, pals, bedsteads, furniture, brooms
harness, saddlery, coaches, wagons, bug
gles, chairs, childrens' carriages, wrapping
paper, paper twine, paper bags, ale, lager
beer, whisky, cotton yarns, domestic.
Now, here is a power in our midst,
which to be felt is only to be made availa-
BILE; power that will not only enrich the
manufacturer himself. but will shed light
OF gladness into the gloomy home of the
poor mechanic and laborer, whose life, at
best, with us. is not an enviable one be-
cause about oue-third of the time it is not
an assured fact that he will be able to re-
main here where all enterprises have been
short-llved and precarious. These poor
people, who must live while they have |
work with an eye to the three or four
months of the year in which they will have
nothing to do, cannot educate their chill.

oh, no! Life with them is continual

thousand hearts glad with the assurance
u constant employment. BY this result
We place our manufacturer on firm basis,

have said, it secures the constant employ
