The Virginians are as kind hearted and Chris

to put it down, and I hope thee will do the
same. lam satisfied all Virginia wants is

stie will do more for the slave than we ever
can." Mr. Coppic never before had opened his
eyes to the disastrous consequences ol North

like an honest man, lie will endeavor to pat
down agitation. There are a great many peo

culars of the domestic desolation so"
patched in the foreigu summary —
reived here by the last, steamer have
been shown to me, which furnish me full par
ticulars of the case. The fugitive wife was
the only child of Richard Guruey, M P a
cousin ol Joseph John, and was married\o
the husband she has abandoned when she was
only fifteen years old. She is now twentv
eight, and has two children. Her father at
lus death, left a fortune of is .(loo.enii—one-half
to her children, and the income of the other
halt to her during hoi life-tke principal at
her death to go to her children. In addition
to tbis abundance, her husband ia also very
wealthy, a Member of Parliament, and main
not contain abetter or brighter character. He
married for love,and was passionately attach
ed to his wile, lavishing on her every atten
,tion and indulgencewk-ck.ua_ver__ow.Bg for

A young man wkose name is Taylor had
been highly recommended to Mr Gin-nevus a
groom or footman, to take charge of Mrs' Gur
uey s horses, as the was excessively fond ot
equestrian exercise, and was accordingly em
ployed in that capacity. Taylor was an edu
cated man, ol Hue appearance and pleasing
maimer., and three or four years younger than
tvs mi.iress. 1 hus thrown often together she
conceived a passion for her servant, of which
her husband did not entertain the remotest
idea until she openly avowed it to him de
claring that, although the latter had been as
fholtless as a husband, andonly too indulgent
yet she had cea-ed to love him ; that her heart
was with Taylor, and that she had determined
to abandon the husband for him. Theteuder
est remonstrance and intercession availed
nothing to lessen her infatuation. Friends
and relaUves who Werecalled in to plead with
her made no stronger impression : and leaving
ber children without shedding a tear, this in
fatuated being abandoned as admirable* home
as woman ever inhabited, and left England
for the Continent, in company with her sedu
cer. The letters referred to speak..i this sad
event as having produ.-ed an extraordinary
sensation in England, where the Guruey fami
ly has long lieen universally known and loved
In this country, also, arfceru their virtues are
as highly appreciated by a very extensive cir
cle, these particulars will '__ read with equal
astonishment and grief.

ferred to the great constitutional arbiter, the

feeling of loyalty, of common country, of com
mon interest, is fast fading away. Men no
longer regard the compacts by which they are
bound. Hitherto, the success of one party
or -he other, brought no public danger.—
We have vow arrived at a period of our his

pretend to posses* tke power to "reveal the

abode are always in dark alleys ordiarepu table
neighborhoods. It matters not tbat they Bare
lived for half a century in the community, and
been attentive listeners to all the go. sip of that

to the community for their skill and experi
ence—are about establishir.ga hospital, on _t_k
street, near Main, for the treatment of slaves
only. In this iristi'ution neither white per
sons nor free negroes will be admitted, and
apart from the medical and surgical attend
ance, good nurses will be employed, aud
proper police regulations enforced. The loca
tion of this hospital will recommend itself to
the owners of slaves, being sufficiently re
tired, and yet iv a neighborhood where "hun
dreds of slaves are regularly employed. The
building to be used is a large and well venti.
lated one, on an eminence overlooking the
river,and so situated that the Southern breeze
cannot be cut oil". The fact that tbis hospital
is to bo devoted entirely to slaves, will give it
I popularity with slave owners that will no
>übt prove profitable to the worthy physi
ans who have established it.
T'i>- Chester Factory.— Residents of the county
Chesterfield are very much in favor of the
tablishmen t, at Chester, of a good tannery,
id a factory for making boots and shoes, but
they do not like the idea of having a colony of
Massachusetts fanatics quartered among them,
todo the work, and would not be willing to
submit to I*. If the factory is established, and
we irust. ir. will be, let the laboring classes ot
the South hay the work todo. Many good
boot and shoemakers can be employed iv the
South to take charge of the workshops, ap
prentices ol both sexes can b* instructed to So
the coarse work in a very short time, and as
tbey progress in skill, they can lie advanced to
higher grades, until line work can be made by
liem as well as by the Yankee cordwaitiers.—
ncourage our own people—rely upon friends
home—manufacture lor home, aud success
certain.

story edifice has jnst been finished, and will
be used by Messrs. Hagerty A Starke, brass
founders, stove venders, gas fitters, etc. And
on the sotith side of Main, between oth and
Mth streets, Mr. James H. Grant is completing
a block of elegant stores, that will find tenants
as soon as the buildings are finished.

DP-0 who do not attend the Theatre, arrange

Richmond, has been nightly gree-ted by crowd
ed and intelligent audiences, ar.d all who have
heard her speak in the Btost exalted terms of
her superior viciilism. Let those who have

Robbing the Mail.— ln the _. ST. Circuit Conrt
yesterday. Judge Halliburton presiding, a free
negro named Fi.a.nk Ham was put upon bis
trial for stealing a letter from the post-, .bee
at Guineas Depot, on the Kichmond and Fred
ericksburg Railroad, which letter contained a
check drawn by the Farmers' Bank of Virginia '
on the Branch Bank at Fredericksburg for '
.I 11. payable to ihe order of G. W. Atkinson,
and by him made payable to Ed. Dickens, of i
Spotsylvania. The evidence proved that tta> !
theft was commuted about the -ofhot July,
1858, and pointed clearly to the prisoner as the |
thief. After hearii:;; tke argument, the jiuy
rendered a -ordict of guilty. The Judge has
to fix the term of imprisonment. '

pear to be that of the whale. Some few days (
since, bones were discovered supj»o*ed to be '
port ions of a human skull, but more careful |
examinations show ih.it they were those of an I
animal that probably inhabited both land and i
water thousands of years since. '
