CIRCULAR.
OFFICE OF GENERAL MANAGER,

RICHMOND, VA, July 10th, 1851. }
1t is the purpose of the Richmond and Dan
Vile Railroad Company to make, at the In
ternational Cotton Exposition, to be held at
Atlanta, Ga., this Fall, comprehensive ex-
hibit of the agricultural, mineral and forest
products of those regions through which the
several roads comprising its system pass. EN-:
braced in this system are the Richmond and
Danville Charlotte, Columbia 1and Augusta,
and Columbia and Greenville Railroad Com
panies. A splendid opportunity, attended
with no expense beyond the furnishing of
specimens, will thus be afforded to owners of
mines and of mineral and timber lands, to
bring to the attention Of visitors, from all
parts of this and from other countries, the re-.
markable variety of products, and the re-
sources and capacity of the sections Of our
Southern country referred to.
All persons throughout the great Piedmont
and mountain regions embraced in our system
of railroads are not only requested, but urged
to contribute to the exhibit made by the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad Company, good
and large specimens of minerals-of all woods
valuable for house and ship building, for cab.
met work and vehicles, and the mechanical
arts-of roots, herbs and plants which have
commercial value, and of all farm products
of excellent variety and appearance. In
short, it is desirable to have specimens of ev.
cry native product which can embellish and
complete the exhibit. Ample and attractive
space for such an exhibition has been secured.
We appeal to our friends and patrons to
give us their cordial and practical assistance
toward making an exhibition worthy Of the
grand region it will represent

while President his friends despaired of bis
life, and during the greater part of his term
he was debilitated to degree that would have
prevented most men from transacting business
During the first six years after his retirement
from the Presidency his health was not much
worse than it had usually been in Washington.
Every attack of bleeding at the lungs, how
ever, left him little weaker than he had ever
been before, and his recovery was slower and
less complete. During the last two years Of
his life he could never be said to have rallied
from these attacks. He grew very weak and
had slight relief from pain. A cough tor
mented him day and night. He had all the
symptoms of consumption. Six months be-
fore death dropsical symptoms were developed.
They increased, and he finally died on June
8, 1845, thirty.nine years and nine days after
the duel.

I could not feel mournful, for, had been in

positive of their intention to murder US and

would yet do it But they didn't!

God than I did when saw the last of those
villains leave my vessel and tumble into his

A GENTLEMAN--Did you ever see gen.
tlenan? We have seen two or three in our
day, but real gentlemen are exceedingly rare.
A gentleman is one who treats everybody with
respect, whether he be black or white, low or
high, poor or rich. He does not bow to
wealth, scrape his knees to honor, nor hold
his tongue when he sees wickedness in high
places He desires to make every one happy
around him, and never gives just cause of Of
fence to any one. You always receive from
him civil answer to your inquiry, and he
kindly imparts to you any information in his
power He will not say word to injure
your feelings, or ,allude to a subject to pain
your heart. Whatever may be done, he will
not manifest angry feelings, or use unbecom-
ing language He uses no profane or inde-
cent words, smokes no cigars in your presence,
nor spits tobacco juice on your floors. He is
the same kind and accommodating individual
from one weeks end to another.

in the Old Black Creek Church, on the Coo

says:
I'VE had been specially invited by its
pastor and several members to witness the
ordinance of "feet washing" that took place
there on that day. On arriving at the church
grounds we soon discovered that there was a
large congregation on hand. Services as US.

extended to all who desired to join in the

near. As soon as possible to do so, amid so
large crowd, this was done, and the Rev.
A. j. Harrison cast of his coat and vest and
tied long towel around his waist, and 4av-

MoHAMMEDAN MERCANTILE MORALITY
A mercantile firm in Solonica had bills to a
large amount on the principal inhabitants and
merchants of that place, which, with their
books and papers were destroyed by fire. On
the next day prominent Turk, who was
largely in their debt, went to them and told
them that, having heard that their papers
had been destroyed, he had brought copy OF

his account with him and fresh bills for the
amount due them. This example was follow
ed by all the Turkish debtors to the firm.
What contrast to this is presented in the
conduct of many calling themselves Chris
tians, who would gladly have availed them
selves of such an opportunity to evade the
payment of their just debts. There are very
many ostentatiously y contributing to send mis-
sionaries to convert these Mohammedans, who
themselves are in great need of being con.
verted to the principles of honesty.
