The FuIkerson Monument.

MeSsrs. Smith & Chapman of this
town, have just completed and put
up in Abingdon Cemetery, a very
fine monument over the remains OF
the gallant Col. Sam'l V. Fulkcr-
son, who fell on the bloody field of
Cold Harbour in 1864. The monu>
ment is of fine size, and represents u
military cloak hung on the shaft. with
crossed sabres beneath. It's erection
was drst conceived by his sister, Mrs.
Kate f. wife OF Floyd b. Hurt E>q.
aud the work was progressing, when
the survivors OF his regiment, the
18th Va. hearing Of it, claimed the
privilege of at least participating
in the erection. To this Mrs. Hurt
consented, and the monument is the
joint work Of Mrs Hurt and the 37th.
These facts and the distinguished
life of Col Fulketson are briefly and
tastefulIy displayed on the different
faces Of the monument. The work
is very elegantly done-as handsome
ly as can be duue in any city of the
Union. Col. Fulkerson was both
gallant and talented. At a very
early age he vas elected Judge Of
this circuit, and he laid down that
hig office to defend the honor Of
Virginia. No Drawer soldier drew
blade and repaired 10 the field to
answer the proclamation of Lincoln.
And no moro pure and popular gen
tieman vas eyer mourned by wash>
iugtOn county.

Value of the Silver Dollar.

The question is often asked as to the
q ference between the trade dollar IA
silver coin authorized by Congress for
Eastern trade purposes aud the gen
eral silver currency of the country,
as also the difference between both OF
these and the dollar of our fathers
in intrinsic value. We The
trade dollar contains 42O grains, nine
10 Iths fine silver. The subsidiary sill
yer, which is the national currency
now in use, contains $50 S grains o.
standard silver or about 81 grains le. 3
than the Trade Dollar. The SILVER
dollar of our fathers" which is the
dollar proposed by thu Bland bill Ia
be made q legal tender, contains 4l2!
grains.
The Mexican silver dollar is
worth only 90 cents, bnt it passes
generally at par, ard is so received
by the railroads. 1t contains prob
ably more silver than our own
coinage, but neither that nor our
own trade dollar is a legal tender
for debt. The trade dollar was
made to accommodate the East
India trade, where a heavier coin
is required to pass current.
