wyIhe County ana Iron Ores. &c.

At meeting Of the people Of Wythe
county. held at the Courthouse Of said
county on the Goth day Of March, l3s6,
and in -hich many Of the largest iron
interests were represented, Major d.
p. Graham was called to the chair and
y. ". Terry and NJ. NJ. Caldwell re
Quested to act as secretaries.
The object Of the meeting was ex-
planned by Judge ". Ii. Boiling.
The following resolutions were passed
unanimously:
Whereas It has been announced in
the Washington papers Of the 18th in
slant that the Committee Of Ways and
Means of the United States House Of
Representatives have recommended that
iron ores, sulphur and copper ores, and
all other ores not specially enumerated,
soft coal and coke, shall be admitted
into the United States free Of duty /;
aud whereas we believe that such legis-
lation, if perfected, will be highly In
furious to the mining and manufac-
turing interests Of Virginia, We hereby
earnestly pray our representatives, TO
vote in favor Of retaining the present
duty on all ores and their products,
and rather to increase than diminish
them.
That a copy Of these resolutions be
forwarded to each Of the Virginia re-
presentatiyes in Congress, and the pa
pers Of the town Of Wytheville and
elsewhere in the State be requested TO
publish the same.

Confederate forces on the Island,
erected several batteries along the bay
and the Guif coast. ina'much
as these forUGcati0ns were chiefly on
the outskirts Of the then city, their
location has almost been forgotten, anil
only old Inhabitants can give an accI-
rate description Of the disposition Of
the Confederate troops. Yesterday,
v hile Freddie Gould and several com
pauious were play ing .out the yards
in the vicinity Ct Widow GO!d's resi-
dence, near the corner of Thirty-iith
street and Avenue VI. they dug up al
old rusty canuon.ball. This set the
boys to work searching for others, and
IN a short time they had unelrih-l over
dozen shells. They then discovered that
the cannon-balls were hollog anl filed
with bullets. They carefully hid their
discovery until yesterday, when young
Gould thought il would be a capital
idea to get some bullets for his gun
from out the rusty shells. lie Success

let's within. but while holding the sixth

Of filing open the lead seal it exploded

and mutilating his body in 4 fearful
manner. He lived few moments after
the explosion, dying in great agony.
The missile proved 10 be ten-pOnnd

tered the back Of the house, near which
the boy was sitting, tore through bed,
and passed out through the front side
Of the dwelling. There IS reason to
believe that hundreds Of these danger

in that vicinity. Whether they were
buried by design in order to save them
from the Federals when they captured
the city is as yet unknown. They are
found about four feet below the sandy
surface. lying IN rows, as though care

a generous bequest Of funds. which will

secure to the Home a permanent basis
Of support.
In the meanThile the object for
which the institution was founiel, and
the provision it makes for the welfare
Of class 50 deserving Of sympathy and
aid will commend it more aud more -
the regards Of the benevolent. aud will
no doubt secure for it frequent contri-
buttons from those who have the dis.
position and the ability to assist You III
your philanthropic work.
Such contributions wiil enable YOU to
perfect your plans for the enlargement
Of the building and for providing new
accommodations for many others whose
advancing age and reduced circun-
stances cOnstrain them TO seek admit
,ance to the Home.
These applicants are numerous, and
they are auXiously awaiting the time
when there will be room to admit them.
The pleasant situation Ct the Home,
the attention Of the matron to the com-
fort Of the inmates, the kind and gra-
tuitous services Of Drs. W. W. Parket
and Thomas j. Moore TO the sick. and
the untiring activity Of the lady mana
gers Of the Institution make it attrac.
tive to those who need its advantages.
and am sure you will spare no effort
during the ensuing year to make pro-
vision for those who are now so earn
estly seeking admission.
Such has been the harmonious CO.
operation Of the two denominations re-
presented in your Board, and such the
uniform courtesy and concord of the
directors. as to make it an easy and
pleasant task TO me to discharge the
duties Of the Office with which you
have honored me.
