ROCKINGHAM Observation-Disclosures MEET
Death of Col. B. Fl. Jones.

We are sorry to announce the death of oul
friend, Col. Buebring FL. Jones. of Lewisburg,
Greenbrier county, w. Va, which occurred in
Charleston, Kanawha county, On Tuesday
morning last the 10Th inst, at 10 o'clock.
He was in the performance of his duties as
assistant Clerk in the Constitutional Conven-
ton of West Virginia. when the icy hand Of
death was laid upon him.
Our acquaintance with him for twenty-five
years, enables us to endorse the notice of him
made by the Greenbrier Independent, from
which the following is an extract:
ut is no fulsome eulogy for us to say that a
good man has left us. We knew him as but
few others knew him. All who came 10 con-
tact with him loved and admired him. Loved
him for his noble and manly disposition loved
him for his frmness of character; loved him
for his courage; loved him for his feelings of
truth and genuine patriotism; loved him for his
honesty OF purpose aud his straightforward,
out-spoken advocacy of the right, and his
avowed and uncompromisng opposition to
wrong and outrage loved him because he was
true man in every sense of the word. and
loved him above ALL because he was a sincere
Christian-a devout and an humble follower of
the meek and lowly Savior of mankind"
During the war, he commanded the Goth
Virginia Regiment, and was taken prisoner at
the battle of Piedmont, in this county, on the
5th of June, 1864. He was amongst the last
to leave that blood-stained battlefield, and
fell into the hands of the enemy. He was
sent to Johnson's Island. where he was kept
in confinement as a prisoner of war until the
10Th of June, 1865 when he was released by
order of the President, mainly at the interces-
sion of Miss Kate Smoot (now Mrs. M. Taylor
Of Alexandria.
As soon as he was released from his long i'm
prisonment, he returned to Lewisburg, West
Virginia, physically and financially ruined
Being prevented from pursuing his profession
by unreasonable, unjust, and odious partisan
laws, enacted against the popular will of the
people, he industrously gathered up the prin-
cipal manuscripts which compose the book en-
titled 1.-THE Sunny Land or, Prison Prose and
Poetry" and added to it q number of produc-
tons from his own pen.
''The sunny South the sunny South
The land that gave him birth,
Where brightest hopes once cheered his youth,
The land of generous worth"

Manufacture and Commerce.

Messrs. EditorS:-In passing along the streets
of Staunton this winter, have been struck
with the number of loads of beautiful, stright-
grained hickory wood that were offered for
sale, for fuel As often as [ saw them, the
thought occurred to me, what wanton waste.
What evidence of thriftlessness among our peo-
pie A cord Ct this kind of wood, instead of
bringing to the owner four or five dollars, for
fuel, if converted into ak handles, or spokes
for carriage wheels, or other useful purposes,
might have been worth, probably, $40 or $50.
These, too, are articles for which there is 6
constant demand among our people. You can
hardly go into store. in the town or country,
where such articles are sold, without seeing
large bundles of handles, spokes, &C., offered
for sale. Why should they not be made here
Why should not the hickory wood Of our
own neighborhood be made available for the
supply of the wants of our own people? Why
should not our own people pocket the profits
of this branch of manufacture?
But little capital would be necessary to carry
on this business. The raw material is abun-
dant and cheap, and the machinery would cost
bat little.
Itseems to the writer that if Messrs Eyler,
Cooper & Co, or Messrs. Burke, Mcmahon s.
Co, or Messrs. Lushbaugh & Bro, who are
provided with steam power. would provide the
they could realize handsome profit from the
operation.
Nothing contributes as much to the growth
and prosperity of town as manufactures. Com
merce is very we'll in its place, but the profits
of commerce are represented by the difference
between the buying and selling prices, minus
expenses. But manufactures have a creative
power. They impart value to that which was
comparatively worthless. Commerce may yield
profit of twenty per cent. Manufacture con-
verts load of wood, worth 81. into bundles OF
spokes and ax-helyes worth forty-making al
| increase of nine hundred per cent. Commerce
sends money out of the country to buy it,
merchanize. Manufacture pays out its money
among ourselves. ip the form of wages, anc
these wages are spent among our own people
| Thus the money remains among US.
| Will not some of our enterprising people
| utilize these hints

In Memory of J. P. S.


Death steals again within our midst,
And snaps Hfe's brittle thread
Our friend, SO dear to many hearts,
Lies Numbered with the dead.
His body rests beneath the soil
Of his dear native land
Twas borne with sadness to the grave
By an honored band $50
Oh, noble band you'll deeply feel
The less that you We sustain'd d.;
But what's the loss when YOU compare
The crown which he has gaind.
Mourn not as those who have no hope
He III sleep In quiet peace,
Until the day when the great trump
Shall bid his slumbers cease. ~ T
We deeply sympathize with those
To whom he was most dear;
May they their sorrows bring to Him
Who drys the mourner's tear
Mem'ry, with supernal power,
Will break Oblivion's chain,
And rescue from its gloomy cells
His dear and honor name
May his example ever live
Fresh in every heart
So when this earthly scene is clos'd,
We may IN peace depart.
He's gone from earth-his short life done
With angels he shall dwell;
It's sad to part, oh, sad indeed
But We must say farewell.

For the SPECTATOR.


Messrs. Editors IL am greatly disturbed in
my mind about the unsatisfactory character of
the relations between our town Il beg pardon,
CIty y authorities and the Fire Company
The March winds are upon us, and if fire were
to break out before there is satisfactory ar
rapgement of the difficulty, our houses might
be burned up,
But this is not ALL There is still more ur-
gent reason for putting our ire.department on
an efficient footing. The newspapers tell us
an cratic and ILL., hammered comet-a sort of
sidereal vagrant-has got on big bust" and
will, on the 18th of next August, make raid
on our little globe and set it on fire. Now, We
ought to be prepared for this intruder. We
ought not to allow the world to be burned up
Let Lexington, Charlottesville and Harrison
burg do as they please, but we must save Staun-
ton. Let us then get our squirting machine
in order! We shall have abundance oe heat
to get up the steam, but we must have an Or
ganized Fire Company to direct the stream,
and give this disorderly comet thorough duck
| ing An ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure If our corporate authorities allow the
world to be burned up in consequence of a mis-
understanding with the Fire Company, they
may look in vain for reelection.

WHAT Dyspepsia may End I'm.

Indigestion is not dangerous, say the faculty.
Perhaps not in itself, while it remains mere in
digestion but look at the consequences to which
it may lead, and often does lead when it becomes
a chronic disease. A spark of fire is small
thing. A pressure of the foot will put it out; a
breath will extingush it. Yet it may fire pow
der mill, or kindle fame that will consume a
city. In like manner indigestion may produce
gastrits, cancer of the stomach, congestion of
the bowels, apoplexy. liver disease and many
ether dangerous maadies. Is it not wise, them
to check it in the germ? Nothing is more clear
ly and indisputably established than that Hos
letters Stomach Btters will eradicate dyspepsia
in all its stages. The true policy, however, is to
extinguish it in the first stages with this whole
some, powerful, and infallible tonic and altera-
tive. It is easier to quench spark than fame,
and it is easier to cure dyspepsia when it is first
developed, than when it has made Roadway by
neglect, and become complicated with other all
ments. There is not the shadow of doubt that
the bitters ara as directly antagonistic to dys-
pepsia as water is to FIRE. There are thousands
of cases on record proving this fact. The reme-
dy is safe and agreeable. All the liquors of COM
merce prescribed stimuiants leave sting be-
hind But the sting is taken out OF the spirit

medication. and, moreover, the stimulant thus
medicated is of exceptional purity. Of all tom
