Go TO Richmond and see the advantages
she offers you, and we feel assured our bust.
ness connections will be greatly enlarged.
Richmond, of course, Is our wheat market;
we ask our readers to consign their produce
to those men who advertise in our columns.
They will make quick sales and at good
prices, and make prompt returns. We guar
antee that you will be satisfied.
We visited the Corn and Flour Exchange
in company with W. D. Tompkins & Bro
ther, where we were sorry to see such q poor
display of wheat. Farmers should clean
their wheat we'll before they send it to mar.
ket. You cannot expect good prices when
| you send dirty or damp wheat to market.
The milIers will not buy it.
We also visited the Tobacco Exchange.
| Both of these buildings are ornaments to the
city, and for convenience of arrangement are
perfect. These associations are kept up by
the commission merchants of the city upon
the following plan: There are tables, for
which each firm that wishes to reap the adj
| yantages of the Association pay SIS per year.
| They bring samples of crops consigned to
their houses, and display them in this build
ing, and otferto buyers. All are thus thrown
into competition, the buyer and seller alike.
Thus the farmer has every advantage.
We would like to extend this article and
speak of Richmond aud her people more at
length-prnbabIy may do so again-but our
object now is simply to call the attention of
| our people to these Richmond houses, with
the hope that our merchants, tradesmeD, and
| farmers will give more of their trade to our
own city OF Richmond. Let us build up our
| capital, and every dollar which we give her
people we are but keeping ut home in our
| own State. What is the use of going North
for things you can get as cheaply and as good
in our own State? Will our people ever get
over this notion that everything they get at
| home is Of no account? Go North? No;
go to Richmond aud we guarantee you will
| never go North again. Richmond offers in
| %ducclnents which, if you avail yourself of
! them, will be to your OWN interest, and will
| encourage and build up our " beloved
old Commonwealth. -Rockbridge Citizen.

Tons M Toss {os GopD.1 fFrom the
New York Express, August 18th. In a pre-
Vious addition the fact Is announced OF the
arrival at the Sub-Treasury here of %. 900. 600
Igeld from San Francisco. The gold was
packed 10 twelve strong iron chests, each
about two and a half feet In length by SIX
teen inches in breadth and depth. The
gold. which consists entirely OF double
eagles, was In stout canvas bags, 100 In num-
her, each containing $4,000. The treasure
was brought overland from San Francisco by
the: Adams Express Company, which was
responsible to the Government for its safety.
The car containing it was guarded by nine
armed men. On the arrival Of the gold in
this city it was carried in express wagons to
the Sub-Treasury, where the chests, weigh
ing between six and seven hundred pounds
apiece, were placed on trucks and rolled into
the! coin division. The bags were then
emptied, and the contents Of each counted
by weighing. The exact weight Of $4,000
in gold coin being known, the absence of o
single piece would be instantly detected.
About 81, 100000 Of the amount was fresh
from the mint, and this it was necessary
merely to weigh. The rest, having been in
circulation, must be examined piece by piece
to see that every one is genuine. So large
an amount of gold is rarely received at the
Sub-Treasury at one time. That institution
now contains a little more than $50, 600, 600
in gold coin, which is an unusually heavy
supply. One reason for this is the light ship
ping demand, only $II 900 having been de-
livefed for shipment since the 1st of January,
which is less than half the amount in the
corresponding period last year. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that the balance of
trade has been in our favor, the exports
having been about S15, 600, 900 more and the
imports S35, 600, 900 less than a year ago.

CLEAR GR1T.-Commenting or the he

disaster on tile Chicago and Alton railroad,
the Chicago Tribune says the record of the
deeds of heroism on that night would be
incomplete without Il reference to the clear
grit OF Mr.. Lctle, of Springfield, who, while
in the agony Of death, sent for the sleeping
car conductor, told him his name, made his
will and signed it, aud handed over his watch
and iewelry to be sent to his wife and family,
and then requested the conductor to leave
him and help those to whom help would be
of avail. That man was made in the heroic
mould. He was horribly scalded, boiled.
aud mutiIated, and yet he would not die
until he had performed his last duty like a
man. .g.. ls.-..

BUTLER AFTER II NATIONAL BANKs.-
Should General Butler return to Congress
he is understood TO have stated to his friends
that he will renew his proposition affecting
national banks; to withdraw the bonds
which are the basis of their circulation in
order to save the interest thereon to the Co.
ycrnment, aud to authorize the issue of an
equivalent amount Of leSal-tenders in place
of the bonds. This is essentially General
Buffers old plan, by which he claims that
nc could save to the Government the entire
interest upon the bonds held by nationa'
banks. He is understood to consider that
the time for the rcdiscussiOn of this question
will arrive with the next Co"gress.-BoSton

titled to assume the name of John Nipple

posed his name to that of John Nipple
Mitchell, and that as such he had been known
ever since his residence in the State Of Ore

was elected city attorney of Portland in 1861,
and was afterwards elected to the State
Senate. in which he had served four years,
the last two of which as president of that
body, and by that name he had been elected
by the Legislature a United States senator.
