Pain Is snppoied to be the lot of us poor mortal', as
inevitable as death itself anil liable at any time to
come upon us. Therefore it ia important that remedial
agents should be at hand to be used on an emergen
cy, when tho seminal principle lodged In the aystem
shall deTelope itielf, and we feel the excruolatlng
agonies or pain, or the depressing infliienieof disease.
Such a remedial agent exists in tho PAIN KILI.KK,

The Insane of the Stat*.
We are indebted to Mr. C. A. Schafter,
Superintendent of Public Printiug, for a
copy of a very neatly printed report of
the Board of Directors and Medical Su
perintendent of the Western Lunatic Asy
lum at Staunton, for the last fiscal year,
from which we learn the following general
facts : There were in the Institution, at
the commencement of the year, 324 insane
persons—male ITO, female 148 ; subse
quently admitted 19—male 36, female 28 ;
the total number cared for during the
year was 383—malo 212, female 671, and
the number remaining September 30th,
1870, wa3 336—male 181, female 154.
The number of patient* discharged as
cured during the year, was 20,-16 male
and 10 female; tbe deaths wero 18,-8
male and 5 female ; while but one eloped-
The prospects for the recovery of thoso
remaining in tho asylum, are thus stated—
fovorablo, 13 ; doubtful, 18 ; decidedly un
'avorablo, 304. In calculating tho cost of
supporting tho institution, Dr. Francis T;
Stribling, the medical superintendent, says'
It has been found for several years past, that
about the sum of $70,000 per annum was
required to supply the current reasonable
wants of tho asylum. I can think of nothing
rendering it probable that the same amount
will not bo sufficient for tbe fiscal years 1870-71.
On inspection of the above tables it will be
found that there was a balance on band, at the
close of last fiscal year, of $12,932.02. We have
Eiaaon to believo that there will be realized
on the paying patients' fund, during tbe
year, not less than $8,000. I therefore respect
ully suggest that your board ask an appropria
tion from the Legislature of $60,000, in addi
tion to the balance reported as on hand, and
what may be received from paying patients.—
This will leave a small margin for contin
gencies.
We havo also received from Dr. D. B.
'.rower, Superintendent and Physician,
the annual report of tho Eastern Lunatic
Asylum at Williamsburg, showing the
operations of that public charity for the
fiscal year. It is a very neat pamphlet,
from the press of tho Norfolk Journal.
The following facts we glean from tho re
port of tbe President, Mr. Sydney Smith :
Daring the past fiscal year 27S patients wore
treated, of which number 25 were cured and
dißcharged, and only 7 died, tbe percentage of
deaths being 2.56, and the percentage of dis-
Kiil to number admitted being 34.2. The
irs believe that no asylum in the United
or in Hurope can show so low a per
e of deaths or surpass the percentage of
cures, the nature of the cases being taken
nto consideration. The amount appropriated
o support the asylum for the year was $60,
--100. Of this amount $50,800 were paid over
>y the auditor, from time to time, the remain
ng $200 having been applied by the late
auditor. Col. Staunton, to some detective pur
ines, as we are informed.
Tbero was a balance from last year of
54,804.54; $529.44 wera received from pay
latients, and $760 on account of debts due to
he asylum—making tho aggregate of receipts
$65,931.98. For the manner cf expenditure,
we refer to the reports of the superintendent
and treasurer.
Tbe president and directors unite with
the officers in asking an appropriation of
$12,000 by the General Assembly for a
leating apparatus, and also rofer to the
necessity of either enlarging this asylum
or building a new one elsewhere.
On the score of economy, tbey recom
mend tbe enlargement, aud ask an appro
priation of $80,000 for tho purpose. The
Superintendent estimates that $60,000
will be required for the support and neces
sary repairs of tbe asylum during the
present year, and in this the Directors
concur.
We see from tho above facts thai it takes
a good deal of money to proride for these
unfortunates, but in a cause so holy and
charitable, we must not paute to count
the cost. They must be well takou care
of, and tbe Legislature should be liberal
in making provisions for their comfort.
Were all the crazy people in tho State
placed in these asylums, they would, in
deed, bo expensive institutions.
General Grant and the Fenianb. —
Tho letters of Secretary Fish and Mr.
Motley fulfil one useful service quite out
side of their main purpose. They must
effectually silence those noisy orators who
Kiproaching tho Administration with
rence to tbe fato of American citi
mprisoned for violating tbe laws of
ud. The contrary proves to be the
It has never been claimed that tho
rele?s«d Fenians were unjustly con
. Their case certainly called fur no
Bpecial intercession by tho United States
government. Nevertheless such interces
sion has been persistently made, and their
pardon is the result of that intercession.—
Secretary Fish expressly says that the
removal of Mr. Motley was delayed for
this, among other reasons, that he might
conclude his negotiations for tbe release of
the unfortunate prisoners—and he compli
ments the minister on tbe complete success
of those negotiations. It is hardly worth
while to call attention to this refutation of
a silly slander.

from each State be ascertained, and that
they shall be collected by State authorities,
in the manner Stato taxes are collected,

Theatrical.—After many years of ab
sence, the legitimate drama is agaiu with
ii.., and has proven quite a treat for our
people. Mr. E. It. Dalton and Miss Sallie
Partington, two great favorites with our
amusemeut-loving public, supported by a
talented company, appeared, for the first
time in many years, at Fredericksburg
Hall last night, in a varied aud entertain
ing bill. The grand tragedy of tho "Iron
Chest," with Mr. Daltou in the difficult
character of Sir Edward Mortimer, was
capitally rendered and loudly applauded.
It is a long time Bince our people evinced
such perfect satisfaction with a perfor
mance. The amusing force of "The Bough
Diamond" concluded the evening's enter
tainment. Miss Partington as Margery,
elicited tho heartiest laughter, while the
eccentricities of the "Cousin Joo" of tho
occasion, were side splitting. To-night
the bill promised is a very good one, and
full of fun and wit. Auy one desiring a
cure for melancholy would do well to be
on band to-night. Mr. Daltoa and Miss
Partington are announced for a joiut bene
fit to-morrow night. Persons desiring

of the fact atonco. He has already chosen I
the commissioners, and it is understood I
that they have signified their intention to

are Benjamin F. Wade, Bishop Simpson,

are already in the city, and Bishop Simp

Introducing a Game. —A youug citizen,
of sporting proclivities was summoned before
Police Justice White this morning to answer
the charge of ''introducing the game of farn"
in the city of Richmond. Doubtless, If the ]
truth were known, that seductive way of get
ting rid of one's loose chaage, made Its ap
pearance simultaneously with the advent of
the English settlers at Jamestown, under Capt.
John Smith ; and if the remains ot that ancient
town could be made to speak "they could a
tale unfold" of many a "club-house" and the
doings therein.
The charge against the individual alluded to
in this paragraph, was dismissed, there being
no law to punish the introducer of a game,
though there i« ono to punish the, exhibitor
after tbe introduction baa occurred. No wit
ness appeared to establish the latter fact, and
the acquittal was, therefore, a logical result.
Some persons in this city conclude that
there were twelve victims who perished in the |
Spotswood lire, and they reach this conclusion i
from the fact that four persons are still unac
counted for besides the eight who are posi'ire
ly known to have been lost. Soma of tbe bag
gage, supposed to belong to these four, is yet
unclaimed. Yet it is hardly probable that
there are four persons in the world so friend
!onuected with tbe human family, as
d so miserably without inquiry hav
i here from their Iriends or family,
conjecture is, that.the parties unac
r, having escaped, have notified
interested in them of the fact, and
3n their way rejoicing, caring little I
iggage, which they may suppose to
iestroyed—or which may be of too
to be worth tbe trouble of reclama
know that there were eight victims,
enough.

FirriKH THOUSAND FRENCHMEN - FALLEN.
THE GROUND COVERED WITH SNOW AND
BLOOD.
Reported Excluiively for the State Journal.
London, Jau. 14.—A dispatch has been
received here, from a correspondent with
10 Army, of tho Loire, giving the details
of tho first day's battle. The Army of
the Loire has been completely defeated
within seven miles of Lemans. Cannonad
ing has bcon beard all day, and the effect
on the population is marvellous. People
rowded to the tops of the houses, and
le thoroughfare.', displaying the inteusest
terest.
At nine o'clock, the French right wing
on the East of Lemans was suddenly
Hacked by the vanguard of the Prussians,
/ho emerged from the woods on the ex
rsnie right. An alarm being given, a
lortion of the French infantry immediately
heeled into line of battle, and artillery
mshed forward. The enemy took up a
cry advantageous position on the right of
le left French wing. The consequence
as, that the French lino, but imperfectly
ormed for action, the batflo began iv
arnest. The French line presented
ppearance of a semi-ciicle, which extend
d over 12 miles of country.
Snow lay on the field—presenting a
range contrast to where yet untrodden to
more bloody work raging in the centre.
Shortly after the engagement com
menced, the Prussians opened a terrible
rtillcry fire from tho woods where their
rlillory had been posted, and under the
loiter of which was flanked and con
ealed, an imrcenaj cavalry force.
The intention was to turn and break
Chanzy'a right wing by strength of can
nonade.
By 5 P. M. upwards of 15,000 French
troops had fallen. Shortly afterwards the
wholo French line was in retreat. Chanzy
is now reported sick.
