the depression in this industry is less rela-
lively than in the others specified.
A statement of the reduction of force
alone, however, is far from conveying an ad
equate idea of the extent of the depression
OF our manufacturing industries. To tell
the whole story this must be supplemented
by statement of the reduction in the hours
OF labor and in the wages which the opera
tlves receive for their work. Reports re-
ceived from !, 106 manufacturing establish
ments in New England snow that only 975
OF them are running at the present time.
Only 800 OF 975 establishments running re-
port the wages paid In 1876 of them the
wages have been cut down while in only one
have they been increased. OF S05 establish
ments which report their hours of work, al
most one-half report reduction in working
hours. The single concern reporting higher
wages than in 1882 is a Providence mill
which makes woolen dress goods. Maine
reports two OF her cotton mills which when
running employ 450 hands, wholly idle. OF
her six woolen mills three, employing 3O5
hands, are idle. Oae metal working con-
cern, usually employing thirty persons, is al
so reported idle.
AS compared with other sections of the
country, the Southern States show the
smallest percentage of unemployed labor,
and the least reduction in wages.

TIE Hon. Robert c. Winthrop was re-
ported to be somewhat better yesterday
afternoon, and this slight improvement gives
hope that he will survive the attack of pneu-
monia by which he has been Frustrated.
Mr.. Winthrop is in his 10th year, and his re-
sistanca to an attack of this nature is proof
of the remarkable vigor of his constitution.
The whole nation has reason to regard with
congratulation all symptoms favorable to his
recovery. Not only is he one of the most
distinguished cilizens of the Republic, long
eminent for high character, learning,
craftsmanship and eloquence; but he has
been selected to deliver the Grafton next Feb
ruary iD celebration of the completion of the
Washington monument, most fit appoint
ment, both because he is representative Of
an elder generation of public men, and be-
cause he delivered the Grafton at the laying
OF the corner stone of this structure thirty
six years ago, he being then Representa-
tive in Congress from Massachusetts, and
Speaker of the House, with a national re-
nown as an orator. Mr.. Winthrop delivered
the surrender of Cornwallls at Yorktown, a
noble effort of elevated eloquence spoken
to an immense assemblage in the open air
with surprising vigor and effectiveness. To
friends in Washington, after that occasion,
he said that he regarded it as his last appear
ance as a public orator and the
close of his career in that sense.
But the great monument to the Father of
his country has been hastened to completion
and by common desire Mr.. Winthrop was
invited to give his countrymen one more op-
poriunity of listening to his ''lofty and So
norous eloquence'' and he had consented. II

THE endeaver to besmirch the
character of Malone and Cameron
on account Of the failure of Ma
tional bank in Petersburg is devil
lish in the extreme. Neither of
these men had a dollar of stock or
in terest in the bank, nor any official
connection with it. Both of them
transacted their business in this
bank, and this is all. So far as the
State funds were involved, Cover
nor Cameron could no more help
the loss of what was there than he
could have prevented the suspen-
sion of a Richmond bank two years
a go where all the state surplus was
deposited. 1t was after this that
Governor Cameron wisely conclu-
ded to divide the States money
between repositories at Richmond,
Norfolk, Petersburg and Lynch
burg, so that panics and suspend
ed banks could not materially effect
he state. The money panic and
the number of broken banks of the
last month have demonstrated the
wisdom of his course. With mil
| lion and a half of surplus the State
comes through with only one
loss in one bank and that
the smallest of her deposits.
To call it a readjuster bank because
| it was depository is silly. The
Richmond bank that went up for
much more two years ago was fun
der, and we doubt whether every
national bank president in the state
is not of the same politics. There
may be an exception some where
to prove the rule, but we cannot
call one to mind. OF course the
States loss is temporary, as bond
and security is required for these
deposits, and one of the surities has
assigned 100000 of property to
meet the bond. Whatever trump
eters of funderism may say, this
is the first panic which the State
has pulled through with scarcely
any loss. The people should ap'
plaud the wisdom of Governor

What the people of Virginia and

this is done our common country

"Wednesday June, 4, 1854.

WE dreamed it among the posi-
bilities to avoid all personal con-
troversy in these columns. If our
readers will return to the first issue
of the HERALD under the new
management, they will find nothing
unkindly spoken Of any man OF
party, Two days later the v'rg'-
MAN appeared with numerous
paragraphs strikingly offensive to
cone to be guessed at. In each
issue since, the VirginiGn has con-
tanned personal paragraphs that no
gentleman could fail to understand
the meaning Of. Not satisfied with
this, it undertook in a leading edl-
torial to forecast the business OF
the HERALD, and to explain why
then had not bought it.
On the morning when the con-
tract of sale was made, before the
papers were signed, the "Vlrgl-
MAN" Office posted handful on
lamp-posts and trees about town
every sentence of which was a
falsehoOd. When the present pro-
prietors of the "Virginian" were
writing for the HERALD they de-
nominated the "Nirginian" the
"mulatto Sheet" and falsely charg-
ed against the "Virginian' of that
day what it was entirely innocent
of, to.wit: personal allegation
against E. D. Newman concerning
the public schools. COmmunica-
tions and proofs were rendered
and they are still in our possession.
Since then we have known children
to return from a Sabbath school
in which their mother had trained
them, their young hearts wound
ed by cowardly expressions OF M.
L. Walton about their father-hiS
politics, niger party, &c.
Can forbearance ever cease to be
a virtue? Can thoughtful and
brave men excuse what seems to be
rasnness in a husband, and the
father of seven children? We hope
so. The first WaltOn-Newman
CODY of the "Virginian" referred to
some one Heretofore cOnnectedwith
it as bringing opprObrium upon the
name "Virginian." Passing by
what it has since printed, we find
in its last issue the following:
"The HERALD had as we'll quit
"this twaddle and direct its atten-
"tion to the only principle it has,
"viz: The subsection of Virginia to
"negro rule" >. Again 1t
saws: 1.-THE HERALD is published
by the HERALD Co. but whether it
is edited by any one it fails to
state"
This follows after the an
nouncement in its salutatOry that
the "Virginiau" would strike from
the shoulder" SO be it,
The editors and proprietors ofthe
"Virginian" are a pair of liars and
poltsoons, and we send proofs
of this to f. d. Newman and Nj. l..
Walton one day before its appear
ance in the HERALD.

THE ONCE FAMOUS BEAUTY AT HER
HOME IN NASHVILLE

THE ONCE FAMOUS BEAUTY Al HEN
HOME IN NASHVILLE
From the Nashville Banner.
Right in the heart of Nashville
stands a large, Old.fashioned home
stead of dull red brick, its rOofpro
ljecting over the piazza, supported
by great futed pillars, and its gen
eral aspect conveying an impress
sion Of severe stateliness, in pleas
ant variance with the distorted
would-be fashionable architecture
in the same neighborhOod. A long
lawn stretches in front of the house
and its pleasant green mOnOtOny
is unbroken save by plain and
massive tomb of white marble,
which carries its own best epitaph
in the simple inscription, James K,
Polk,
A ring at the bell brought to the
door a good-natured colored girl,
who took our cards to the venera-
BILE and venerated widow of Prcsi.
dent Polk.
A woman like Mrs. Polk is a re-
velation to the beauties of old age.
Gentle benevolence, broad-reaching
charity, ripe experience, and Guilt
walton of mind that extends be-
yond letters to mankind shine
through her conversation, and a
ready memory, keen wit, and a
store of "reminiscences illuminate
it.
Sixty years ago at the time OF
her marriage Mrs. Polk was con-
sidered remarkable for her beauty,
and twenty years after, when she
presided at the White House, it
was so fresh and unimpaired as to
attract great admiration, and be
noted in the published works and
I private journals of distinguished
foreigners.
Time, of course, has stolen the
vivid coloring and curved outlines
of youth, but he has not robbed
her of the upright figure and dig
nified carriage, and has left bright
ness in her eyes and vivacity in her
voice, beside lending an added
charm in her faultless manners.
Crowned with eighty years of hon
or she rose to receive us.
From the library of the dead
President she can gaze upon the
tomb that marks his resting place
and in that same library remains
his hat, gloves, and cane, just where
he laid them when he came home
for the last time. The book he was
reading lies open on the table, and
the papers of the day beside il.
In society, and fond of it, Mrs.
Polk has get never accepted an in
vitation since her husbands death,
though with graceful hospitality
and tact she has received on the
first day of each year the Tennes.
see Legislature, which adjourns in
a body to call upon her-and which
l am told is the highest compli-
ment ever paid by State authori-
ties to lady-and the civil, judi
cial, and ecclesiastical bodies make
it point to pay their respects to
her.
