TO THE People OF VIRGINIA.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
IL the list time in an extended way, the L. f.
(FAMILY FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we are justified in claiming it to be the
BEST:
4 BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing machinists, and by
them so pronounced; E-al As
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition i'm 1867 at af
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines ut
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1865;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class loci-stitch will do; gfeF ~ IA II
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them cam
not do We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines; n
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the. sale has been SO rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and great part of
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give a woman's reason, s ~
BECAUSE, it is just a little darling" and so
easy to learn. si Il

THE wORKNIEN'S ADVICE TO NEW
.s. ..5,.E gE HF.#r YORK. a

The propositions contained in the recent
circular from the International Working
mems Society, Of New York, will strike
many of our readers, as very absurd, no
doubt, but they are well worth serious con-
sideration. While we may think some of
them impracticablc and visionary, they
contain the seeds of new truths, which are
destined to grow more and more into the
minds ofthe people for years to come.
We were quite surprised recently, in
conversation with distinguished and clear
headed officer of the army, to learn, that
he had reached similar conclusions
as to the duty of city organizations.
There is a vast field Of profitable thought
lying little outside the ordinary range
which this circular suggests.
1t is quito time that we turn our atten-
ton to something besides poor-houses,
hospitals, jails and gibbets, and adopt
vigorous measures to prevent the disease,
poverty and crime that crowds these with
victims.
And this seems to be the aim of the
Workingmen's society. The recommended
tons of the society are as follows:
The international workingmen of the city,
through their delegate in the Federal Council,
recon- mend to the citizens of New York city the
embodiment of the following propositions in the
forthcoming city charter: That the city shall
institute gas works of their own, and not only
supply the streets but all the buildings in the
city with gas at cost. That the city shall nsti-
tute coal depots to supply fuel to its citizens at
cost of mining and transportation. That the
city shall institute markets where the provisions
of the country may be garnered and dispensed to
the people at cost of purchase transportation
and distribution That the city rescind the char
tiers of the city railroads and ferries, take posses
sion of and run them in the interest of the
people, at cost. That economical dwell
ings be erected by the city upon
its own unimproyed lots, to be let to the people
at cost. That the system of contracting ublic
work shall be abolished where it can be done by
the city authorities. That all public officers
people, while the names of deputies, clerks and
other employees shall be taken from the list of
qualities applicants, as jurors are, by being
drawn from wheel. That Ill fee Offices shall
be abolished, and salaries reduced 10 comport
with the wages of working people. That Ito pre-
vent venal legslation) all tax levies and other
important measures shall be submitted to the
people, and heads of departments shall publish
frequent reports, in detail, of all receipts and
disbursements That school-houses and town
halls shall be free for the people to convene in
consider subjects of public welfare, when OF
otherwise occupied"

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The magazines for January have most of
them appeared on our table. All are start
ing the new year with good deal of nerve
and evidence of healthy vigor. And, by the
way, the monthlies of this country, we be-
lieve, average better than those of any
other-not saying either that ours are not
open to much improvement. That Ameri-
can publishers will continue, as they have
well done heretofore, to look carefully to
the ways and means for improving their al
ready creditable publications, is the desire
and anticipation of oil good patrons,

DEATH OF COZ. GEORGE W. BRENT.

DEATH OF COL. GEORGE w. BRENT.
We regret to notice the death of Col.
Brent, of Alexandra, of the firm of Brent
& Wattles. Our intercourse with him had
led us to form high opinion of his
character as a lawyer and gentleman.
He stood in the front rank Of his profession,
and was endeared to all who knew him by
his private worth.
During the late war, he was Adjutant-
General of the Western army in the Con-
federate service, and his career as soldier
was honorable and stainless. Since the
war he has devoted himself with zeal to his
profession. His sympathies were warmly
for all movements to build up and improve
the State. His loss will be deeply felt
wherever he. was known.
