correspondence Of Richmond Dispatch
FEBRUARY IL. 1850.
Saturday night, As freight-train was
approaching the junction from the
North. driying-whecl Of the engine
Go. 30 twisted of and disabled the
engine. The train was going slowly,
however. and no further damage was
done. 1t is supposed that this accident
was the result of unseen injuries re-
ccivcd by the engine in a wreck some
years since.
Some one entered Ferguson & Vests
barber shop Friday night and stole
every razor on the premises -thirty->iN
in number. They entered by the front
door.
\ little child OF Colonel Wcrtcn-
baker was seriously burned one day
last week. The children were in an
upper room. and one Of them heated I
poker rcd-hot. and the child was set on
fire by the poker. One of the Older
boys Immediately threw blanket
around the child. and started down
stairs screaming. Mrs. Wcrtenbakcr.
hearing the screaming. rushed up the
stairs. and in the effort to cXtingui>h
the flames was severely burned on her
hands. The little one is not danger
ouSly burned.
The churchc, yesterday were not
we'll attended. owing to the inclemency
of the weather. In the Presbyterian

that the snow east of Us Is deeper and
west Of Us Is lighter. QCGr.

that " was in truth really great man
by recognizing the fact, unrecognizcd
by most Englishmcn. that the slaves in
the southern States Of the United States
were better of than thousands OF the
laboring classes in England, and by ar
euing that slavery was no, an unmixcd
evil. Almost ali other men IN Eng
land, we repeat, were OF d''ier-
cnt opinion. Almost alone. he uttered
the truth as the truth appeared to him.
There are. we say, very few men who
are not influenced by their surround
ings TO an extent Of which they them
selves have no adequate conception. 1t
is so hard for man TO separate himself
from. or rise above. his circumstances.
Therefore. we said week or two ago
that there was no good reason to doubt
that Mr.. CLEVELAND held the New
York theory as to the policy Of stop
ping the compulsory coinage Of silver.
Last Saturday more than half the
Democrats in the House Of Representa-
tives signed paper requesting Mr..
CLEVELAND not to commit himself to
the New York theory. But to what
good? Mr.. CLEVELAND was Gov
ernor of New York for two years. and
must have committed himself thou
sand times on this very question.
Most, but not all, of the Republican
members of Congress agree with him.
Most. but not all, Of the Democratic
members Of Congress differ with him.
1t is not so much a party question as
sectional one. The eastern States do
not favor the compulsory coinage of sill
yer. The western States do. Even
Senator SHERMAN is bimetalliSt but
nc wants the standard silver dollar to
be worth as much intrinsically as gold
dollar; and this policy has always COM
mended itself to our approval.
Bat is there no danger that threatens
the country if silver be no longer
coined? None. we suppose. that could
not be remedied next winter. 1t GER
tainly is startling fact that the annual
production of gold in the world is not
equal to the amount of gold annually
used in the arts. After mentioning
that startling fact, the New York Tri-
JuRe recently added the following sig
niiicant paragraph:
These considerations make it clear
that the United States should not longer
persist in preventing an international
agreement as to coinage by continuing
to coin silver for which it has no present
use. The sooner other nations are COM
PEELED to seriously consider the ques-
ton Of coinage in the light of the re-
cent decrease in the production of gold
and late evidence as to its annual con-
sumption. the better for all commercial
countries"
That means that the Tribune. though
New York paper, has learned that
there are two sides to this question of a
bimetallic currency. ltmeans that UNI
less the production of gold be increased
mOnometallism would i'll few years
cause such a Shrinkage Of values as
would bankrupt half the people in
Chrstendom. Why the whole world
produced last year less than ninety
millions of dollars worth Of gold
The United States alone could find use
for that additional quantity of gold every
wear, and does Use One-iOurth Of that
amount in the arts alone.

The stream of Life.

The blood cannot be pure unless the
liver acts rightly. Nor Gan it be rich
unless it has enough iron in it. The
iron in Browns Iron Bitters is exactly
what is needed to give the blood proper
vigor and purity. This splendid tonic
acts on the liver and sets the whole di-
gcstiye machinery to rights. 1t brings
to the blood the iron which gives the
tiny corpuscles their rich red color.
Don't let your blood getthin and watery,
thus inviting disease.

In December. 1881. DR.. James X.
DOak, then clerk of this county. on
final settlement with the Auditor,
found himself indebted to the Com
monwealth in the sum of $S93.9j. For
this amount he sent a check on the
Bank of Wytheylle. Recently the adj
miniStratOr Of the estate has been very
much exercised about this money, for
which the Auditors books showed no
credit; but yesterday letter from
Wvthevillc disclosed the fact that the
money has never been drawn on the
check. 1t is not known here whether
this check has ever been found among
the papers of Mr. Smith.
To-day an examining court. consisting
Of five magistrates. after hearing the
testimony of the few witnesses who
knew anything about the killing of
Lindsey Reid. came to the conclusion
that it was done in sclf-dcfence.
Four negroes from POcahOntas were
lodged in Jail here yesterday for PAY

Since my last report you can hear
nothing but complaints about the
crops, every planter agreeing that
thirty per cent. has been lost in the
past four weeks; and / have not met q
single man who has planted the Allen

planted common seed.
The corn crop | am glad to see, Is
good and the country generally Is well

The Republicans in mass meeting
assembled to-day at Rolling Fork, and
passed the following resolutions:
1st. That each district hold meet

that the members elected meet at

third Saturday Of this month.
Resolved, I'd. Where the labor Of
the county directly pays three-fourtha
Of the taxes for levee purposes, we
are in favor Of a more equal adjust
ment Of said tax, so that the owners Of
the soil shall bear their just proportion
with the labor Of the county.
This meeting was attended by the
good and law abiding colored citizens
Of the entire county, and will, In se-
lecting their executive committee from
the several districts in the county,
place upon said committee the best
and most sensible Of their party in
fact, the negroes Of Sharkey wish to

fellow, he says Paris Green is no good,
and we believe the planter is right.
No need Of spending money where you
