NErT1E GREEN.-Al available methods for
preventing Ncttie Green from going to the pen
iteptiary having failed, City Sergeant Campbell
will start with her for that prison on Monday
next. She shot aud killed young man named
Samuel Eichelberger, at her bagnlo, last Octo-
Der, her victim being uuder the iotiuence OF
Iuuor when lie was murdered Her term OF
imprisonment is seven years., the knowledge OF
which IMPRISONMENT, it is hoped may deter
other women CT her character from the COM
mission of a similar crime, for though men
should neither get drunk, nor visit such houses
as the one she kept, yet because they do SO is
no reason why they should be murdered.
PIONEER MILLS. The Fredericksburg Herald
says: st is certainly very remarkable that the
large Touring mill 10 Alexandria, whose motive
power is steam, and productive capacity eight
hundred barrels da y, should still be lying idle
There is DO better centre for obtaining the
finest uheats that are grown in Virginia than
Alexandria. The Touring mills of Fredericks-
burg draw their supplies largely from Ale1ao-
dria, and of course have to pay freight which
an Alexandria manufacturing establishment
would save. This treightage for mill OF eight
hundred barrels day, would be an item so
large 10 the course of year. as to be quite
sufficient to pay large profits.
