? POLICEMAN ASSAULTED AND KNOCKED
Down BY NEGRoEs.-On Thursday night
citizen came to policeman Reins, near the
corner of Fifth and Baker streets, and
complained to him that the negroes were
making so much noise with their drum
ming and following near his house that it
was impossible for him to enjoy any rest.
The policeman went after the negroes, and
found that they were, as the gentleman had
said, creating great disturbance. He
ordered them to stop their drumming, and
they replied that they would 60 just be-
yond the corporation line and drum as
much as they pleased. They went little
way up the street and stopped, though not
beyond the line, and again commenced
their racket. Policeman Reins went to-
wards them. and as he got very near them
they crowded around him, with such ex-
pressions as eve will kill any d-n
white -livered son of b. who troubles
u.s." The policeman drew his pistol, but
before he could use it he was knocked
severely on the head, which laid him in
sensible. He remembers that he was
struck with drum-major's staff. When
he came to the negroes had disappeared,
and carried with them the policeman's hat
and pistol.


Lotr.-Sam Burre.s, negro drum-ma-
ior, was arrested last night by Captain
Jenkins as being the one who committed
the assault. Policeman Reins recognized
him.

CowPAsTURE BRIDGE.-We learn from
the Staunton Spectator that the CowIAs-
ture bridge on the Central railroad has
sustained some damage from the drifting
ice, and that the trains are not for the pre-.
sent running over it. There is train on
the west side of the bridge, and to passen-
gers and light freight there will be very
little detention. The trains, therefore,
continue running as heretofore.

DELINQUENT CITY TAxEs.-To-day and
Monday are the last days left to delinquent
tax payers to go to Collector Hobson's of
fee, in the City Hall, and settle their city
tax bills, prior to their property being post
ed for sale. If they do not act promptly,
twenty per cent. will be added to their
bills, and their property will be sold for
the payment of the whole amount.

REMOVALS CONCENTRATION.-Ther is
considerable attention now directed to-
wards the four corners Of Main and Twelfth
| streets. The indications are that they are
rising so in the consideration OF mankind
that we may regard them as the cardinal
polnts-of financial, newspaporfal, tele-
graphic, and insurance enterprise. These
grand points in the business of life are to be
backed and sustained by restaurants, etc.,
| of the first class. As all achievements of
magnitude require the support Of liberal
diet and free consumption of the same, It is
quite desideratum that the great deeds of
Main and Twelfth are to be seconded and
sustained by establishments conducted by
excellent caterers, one of whom at least
Zetelle-is an unequalled ar6st in the
science of cooking. But we commenced
this notice to state that


The PLANTERS BANK has been removed
from it's late office to the handsome and
conspicuous establishment at the corner Of
Main and Twelfth. There it has an Office
commodious, comfortable, and elegant.


The store under the Planters BANK is
to be occupied in day or two by the
Richmond Savings Bank and Insurance
Company, an institution made~by act OF
Legislature one Of the State repositories,
and which is rapidly rising in popular IA
yor. 1t, too, has very convenient and
elegant apartment. -...


On the south side of Main street, west Of
Twelfth, Mr.. JOHN II. MoNTAGUE, Insu-
rance agent, has the very superb corner
store, and has been there quartered and
actively engaged for some days. He is
now giving his establishment the finishing
touch, and in little while it will shine as
brightly as paint and gold laid on by art
can make 1t.


MONTAGUE is to be sandwiched between
a hotel and refectory. Above him there
is to be a SPACIOUS HOTEL, embracing the
upper part of two or more tenements on
Main and the large building on the cross
street.


Underneath him, JONAH WHITE, so long
known as the popular proprietor of the
"Best Idea," will open refectory on a
large scale. The room is very fine one
for his purposes.


On the southeast corner is the grand
establishment Of the TELEGRAPH OFFICE,
with its lines connecting Richmond with
the whole world and over the telegraph
is GENERAL MOORE, agent for the Manhat-
tan Life Insurance, and other companies.
He took good many lives at Bull Run,
and, conceiving fancy for the business,
he has made it his profession. He takes
life with Incompatible facility and dis
patch. :.


So here we have the corner Of Main and
Twelfth organized for business, and pro-
missing to grow with the city and capa-
BILE to meet any pressure in the way of
trade which may occur. This point of con-
centration will enlarge its means at all
times commensurate with the demand,
especially the demand for newspapers and
advertising at the Dispatch corner.

reach this city by o'clock this morning.

When Gutenberg, the first printer, was

Gutenberg with what he heard, that ho

he had 80 laboriously put together. His
work Of destruction was only stayed by an
other voice, sweet and musical, that fell on
his ear telling him to 60 on rejoice in his

in the end. So to all Of us still come those
voices that came to Guttegberg the one
calling US to work while it is called to-day,
to try to leave this world better than We
found it; and the other tempting us to give

We should be pulling against the stream. -

Serious results are apprehended in Chi
cago in consequence Of the passage by the
Illinoi Legislature of the Eight Hour Law.
From present appearances, a general panic
among the manufacturers of that city, will
be thrown upon the country. No person
can estimate how much this is to DO regret.
ted, for, with the present stagnation Of gen.
cral business, panic in the manufacturing
business in Chicago would be seriously felt
throughout the whole Western country. 1t
is 10 be hoped that the employers and EN-.
ployees will come, before long, to happy
and speedy Cancellation. The workingmen
inauguratcd this movement by grand dem
onstration last Wednesday. All business
affected by this law was suspended and pro-
oessions and speeches we're tho order of the
day, the day being observed as general
holiday Manufacturers generally refuse
to accedc to the demands of the new move
meut. Railroad companies assert that in
case Of the enforcement Of the eight hour
law that they will remove their shops to
Indians, wherever such points are availa.
Die. At consulta,ion OF the manufactur.
ers Of Chicago,tho majority Of them came
to the conclusion to suspend business rather
than yield to the new movement, giving US
a reason the present scarcity Of money and
the general lack Of trade. Boiler makers
are determined to still adhere to the ten
hour system, aud says they will close up
their shops iu preference to adopting the
eight hour plan. Painters have offered to
pay nine hours wages for eight hours
work, but their offer is as yet rejected by
the union of the trade. A number Of large
establishments have issued circulars to
their employees, requesting all who insist
upon the enforcement Of the eight hour law,
to call at their Office with their books.


No time should be lost in bringing about
quiet state Of affairs in Chicago, All in
fueuces should be brought to bear to re.
store tranquility between capitalists and
laborers, as the former cannot be available,
without the assistance Of the latter, and the
latter cannot enjoy happy existance with.
out the former the law does not 90 into

will be made upon any other agreement,
and really upon this point the law is Of no

Workingmen will find it to their interest

that rate Of time, reasonable oompensa.
tion. The majority Of mechanics and labor.
srs, as a general thing, would rather work
ten hours and receive ten hours pay, than
work eight hours and receive eight hours
pay. In the latter, ono fifth Of the time
would be lost. A rashness Of action on the
part Of either the manufacturers or mechan.
ics in the case should bs avoided, and justice
should commend itself to all parties.-Fori

BURIED ALIVE "A friend gives US the
account of a most terrible case Of tho burial
alive Of handsome young lady at jackson.
vile, Illinois. Some time last summer q
young lady Of seventeen years Of age, sui.
fering with the toothache, went to bed with
small phial Of chloroform, for the purpose
Of quieting her teeth. In the morning she
was found to all appearances dead, which
was confirmed by the opinions of several
physicians who were called and examined
her body. She was then buried. A few
days since her relatives were about to re-
move from Jacksonville, having located in
another State, and had the remains Of the
young lady exhumed, for the purpose Of
taking them to their new home. Curiosity
prompted them to open the coffin, when
they were horror stricken on finding the
corpse turned over, both hands full Of hair,
and her clothing torn to shreds, revealing
the horrible truth that the young lady had
been buried alive. The chloroform had
placed her in deep trance, the awakening
from which was in her coffin and grave.
The lady was engaged to be married OF the
time Of her supposed death. A more heart.

obliged to you to fetch me couple Of buck
cts Of watar-you cannot get any wetter. +"
The argument was striking; he therefore,
took two buckets and fetched some water
from the well, which was at considerable
distance. On reaching his house he found
bis wife comfortably seated by the fire; then,
lifting one bucket after another, he poured
tho contents over bis kind, considerable Ia
partner. "Now, wife," said he, ''you are
