There is IN the neighboring city Of Man
chester youth Of eighteen years who,
without instruction, has displayed a skill in
statuary remarkable indeed.
A poor boy, working as an apprentice at
plough-making all day, at night has. with
out tuition, endeavored to develop bis ge-
Mus; and under the most embarrassing
circumstances has in his work shown tai
ent which, If cultivated, will rank him
among the most distinguished artists.
To perfect this boys education in Rome
will cost fifteen hundred dollars-a sum
vastly beyond the reach OF poor appren-
tice-boy, but readily reached il those who
would advance merit would lend helping
hand.
Are there not fifty men In Virginia who
would be willing to advance this boy thirty
dollars each in so worthy line?
This young man and two brothers, ap-
prentice-boys also, for years have been the
only support OF an afflicted father and four
hcl pless brothers and sisters and without
the help now appealed for, without his
knowledge, it will be impossible for him to
pursue his art-studies.
I know the boy and all Of bis family well,
and never knew worthier people; and l
trust this appeal in behalf OF this meritori-
Gus youth will not fail to attract the ap-
proving attention Of those who are able to
spare so small sum.
A specimen of his work may be seen at
Tyler & Co.'s, jewellers, in this city.
trust that the papers i'll the State will
give this card prominent place in their
columns, with such notice MS the editors
may please to afford.

Ballard T. Edwards (colored), OF Man.
chester, is the most prominent candidate at
present mentioned. 5. F. Maddox, the
present incumbent, defeated Edwards by
one vote in the canvass OF 1873. r
The Convention was held at the old Dan
vile warehouse, and was one OF the most
stormy since the days of reconstruction.
The friends OF Edwards and Moseley, OF
Goochland, combined against Maddox.
Maddox was nominated, as was charged,
through the detection OF Henry Cox, then
and now member OF the House or Dele
gates from Powhatan county.
Maddox is not candidate for reelecti on,

secure the nomination.
Edwards is an eX-justice, and was mem

MILITARY BRIEFs.-The following comes
from source worthy Of credit: The First
regiment has spent nearly $4,000 since its
Reorganization in 1871 out OF its own fund
for accoutrements. Some of these, enough
for one company, through mistake, got
iato the possession OF the State, and were
issued to a company not in the regiment,
for which no compensation has been made
to the regiment. The regiment now needs
accoutrements, and the State cannot furnish
them. The Richmond City Guard paid
every dollar for its own accoutrements.
The average attendance at drills OF the
volunteers OF the State is over 1000
Among this number many are old cadets,
most of whom are officers, and it is fair tc
presume they have the men under their
command in as good fighting trim as the
average rebel at New Market.
The appropriation OF the State annually
for the Military Institute is $4,000. There
are 135 cadets, officers included. They have
200 45-calibre improved breech-loadine
cadet rides-the best gun now eXtant
With accoutrements, they cost over $1,000
An artillery company in the State was dis
banded because it could not get guns; an
other artillery company has only sabres.
In times Of need the volunteer militia are
called ON first ---

Editors Dispatch: AS the Treasurer's
letter to the Governor, published in most
of the morning papers, recommending the
removal of the States deposit-less than
thirteen hundred dollars on the 9Th instant
from the First National Bank and the
Union Bank Of this city, may give occasion
for unwarrantable inferences to non-reSi-
dents interested in the above institutions, ]
deem it proper to make public the reasons
which induced the banks over which pre-
side to decline making the loan which was
sought by the State.
The reasons are
First. Because the State did not offer
satisfactory security for the loan.
Second. The commercial and manufac-
turing interests of our city make very
heavy demands upon US at this season, and
they give proper security for loans; and our
directors deemed the preservation OF the
trade of the city, and its increase, OF more
importance than this temporary loan would
be to the State.

FIRE-STATIoN GA few nights ago an
alarm Of fire was sounded from Station SO,
and two OF the uptown steamers went out
to Station 43, the iremen contending that
the alarm came from that box. In order to
ascertain whether they erred in reading the
signal, Superintendent Paynter, Of the fire.
alarm telegraph, and Chief-Engineer Aims
lie, of the Fire Department, Yesterday at l
o'clock "turned in" Station So. Upon the
first round the box recorded 11t.1-11 1
E(43). The next three rounds were struck
correctly; that is, 11111-111 (5S). Then
the box recorded "one," showing that
there was some disarrangement in the work
ing of the box, and that the fremen were
right. The station was at once put in pro.
per working order.
Superintendent Paynter states that the
improper recording Of the No. was con-
fined to the small gongs in the police,sta-
tions and elsewhere, which is due to their
peculiar construction but that the No.
was properly recorded on the large gongs
at the engine-houses. He proposes to rem
edy the trouble as soon as possible.

A Compliment to Richmond Singers

Editors of the Dispatch: : A few days
ago the, young people OF Salem church and
the neighborhood, in Hanover county, de-
termined to have feast and concert for the
purpose OF raising funds to buy an organ
for the church. Accordingly ample prepa-
rations were made for the feast, apd quar-
tette Of young ladies and gentlemen from
your city kindly agreed to do the singing,
with Mr.. NJ. Stuart Turner to play the organ
and direct the concert. ......,-
On the night appointed all of these per-
sons were at: the church, although it was
raining in torrents. The. audience being
quite small, the concert was postponed to
Tuesday the 2Sth OF September, on which
night Mr. Turner was on hand with his
uuartette, as follows Miss Powell and Miss
Cross, and T. Fl. Starke and Mr.. Ed.
Grant-the last.named having taken the
place OF Mr.. Harvey Blair, who was with
us the first night, but was prevented from
coming out the second night. There was
quite good audience. Every one was per-
| fectly charmed with the singing and Mr..
Turner's splendid playing.
/ know you will think "those country
people know nothing Of music" but there
were some there who have heard the best
singing you ever had in your city, and they
pronounced it perfect. However, it is un-
necessary, presume, to speak to you OF
those singers, as they are known in your
city; only will say twas the best we ever
heard, and will be long remembered and
talked OF by us, as well as the kindness OF
these young ladies and gentlemen, who, at
great inconvenience and with much fatigue,
came out twice to assist our poor church in
this matter.
Financially, the whole affair was quite q
success.
| You have had an account Of the organiza-
| ton OF our Hanover cavalry company, SO ]
will not speak Of it except to say that it is
composed Of set Of gallant fellows.
Yours, HAwSvILLE.
