JAB ■ Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch. The Danville Extension—Census, fc. Martinsville, Henry Co.. Oct. 13. Knowing the deep solicitude you (*el for the success of the extension of the Richmond and Duiville Railroad into this couuty, I write you of the result of the Railroad Btrbecue at this place, on the 13th inst. The day was veiy auspicious, aud there was a large concourse of persons, an excellent dinner, and nothing occurred to disturb the haun my of the occa sion. Able and eloquent speeches were m ide by Lewis E. Harvie, Esq.; E. F. Keen, of P»tt sylvania; Wm. Martin, Esq., of Henry, aud C. Y. Thomas, of Henry. A new miliary or ganization, called the Henry Guaid*. under the ct mmand ol Captain Peter R. Reamey, turned out In full uniform, and sulivened the occasion with a splendid military display. I do not know the precise amount of stock sub scribed, but understand it was considerable; and if the friends of the extension in other parts of the country will do as well as we have done, the ex'riision may be considered a "fixed fact,"' to be consummated at no distan' day. The Deputy Martha] for this county has, I understand, just completed the census. The population is as follows: Whites 6,770; slaves ; free negroes _«4. Total, l_,n'o_. In crease since lean, _,*_oa.

Crossing a Rop-oh Stilts.—Blondin, the famous rope-walker, gave his last aud most daring exhibition at Mew York, Monday, by crossing a rope, elevated 200 feet above the ground, ou stilts. Ttie Herald says: The stilts with which he pcs formed the last aud most daring of his feats are about four feet iv length, with steps at a distance of two feet from the rope, aud provided with the straps necessary lor firmly attaching them to his legs. The shaft is terminated by a prong shaped instrument ef iron, with three teeth~ two ol which serve in grasping the rope, and' the central one in guiding his movement along the rope. Resting lor au interval of five miu utes, he buckUdou the stilts and slowly, cau tiously, aud with the assistance of au atten dant, elevating himself to a perpendicular,ven tured out upon the rope, watched with breath less interest by the people beneath. A strong fresh wind wis blowing from the west, inter fering iv some measure with the execution of this feat, which required so much delicacy ol movement and firmness of nerve and muscle. But Blotidiu wasuotto be deterred. Advanc ing a few steps, he remained stationary on the rope for a few minutes, during which time he employed his pole iv acquiring an equili brium, which he maintained throughout the rest ot the exhibition. Thus assured, he again advanced, gaining coufidence as he progressed to the other end. The guy ropes seemed to give him some little annoyance, and he cross ed those portions of the rope where they were tied at a less speed aud with greater caution than at the other parts. The time occupied in the passage was about twenty minutes, and his arrival at the terminus at the rope was the signal for an outburst c f applause ou the part of the spectators, who again drew their breath freely, in acknowledgment of wnich demonstration Bloudin, from his elevated perch, gracefully waved his thanks. Ta» Yeabs.—Thechanges which have taken place between lt-_U aud 1660 in the economic condition of our country are very gieat. Iv that period the gold mines have u-„u discov ered in California and Australia. In I-lu we had #» paper circulation to $1 of specie; in 185" otilyS.') tnf l',in I_B_ less than 82 to 81. In 181. the productof precious metals was $_S,_n_,_(ni; lv IBfif it was 8--4,0(XJ,000. The whole amount now in the world i_ estimated at * iO.iioo o<«i,o<ii , of which six-tenths is silver. It was always supposed Hint a sudden increase in ibe iju.u ttty of money increases prices. This has not proved true, for in spite of tbe influx of gold, and in spite of tbe repeal of tbe English corn laws, which has enabled us to export imra ■. .* - quantities of flour and grain, prices in geueral are lower and wages higher than tbey ever were before. Tables show that prices gene rally during forty years were highest iv 183? and lowest about 1.43. Flour was so scarce in • 1847 that we imported 85,000,(kh); its average price for forty years bas been 80.54 per barrel. The sale of tea has increased in tweuty-flve years from 13,000,000 to 3.,00u,00. lbs.; tbe aver age price for that period has been lorty-eight cents. The cotton crop bas increased in forty years from IB_,oo<>,ooo lbs. to l,t- h,,im*),<hjo ibe — A great demand tor breadstutfs from 1851) to Jbs7, occasioned by railway labor and the re peal of tbe British corn laws, kept prices gene rally on tbe advance; but in 1.57, on account of the abundant crops, the slackening of tbe shipping and railway interests and a glutted cotton market, a dowu ward tendency prevail ed. Our exports of breadstuff* from i_s. to l-Tbo were 8 l-t',uui,i •on. Prices do not seem gen erally to be affected by the fluctuations of pa per currency. Iv 1649 tbe bank-note circula tion was BU_,(XK>,-~-; in 1852, f 1?3,000,-OH; in March, 1-s*, it was Sl-0.00-.iiOO, shortly after which It rose to 81_-,000,-__.— Newark Daily Ado. Tub Goafm. as E_roD_ii>ic-» by Bbigbam Yol'Wo—A Utuh correspondent speaks of the maimer in winch Brigbam Young lays down thegosjiel to tbe Saints, and also to the Gen tiles In that Territory: "On Sunday last, in the Bowery, Brlgham laid down the law in plainness to the p_or Mormon missionary el ders, and positively forbade them to send borne or bring heme to tbeir wives a silk dress or any hind of flnery, or to come borne as mer cbaou.

He says : It is my opinion tbat the British govern ment is the real author and instigator of the mischiefs aud outrages perpetrated against the slave Slates, and that it is the duty of our federal government, and of the patriotic people of ihe United Srates, to hold the British gov ernment responsible for disturbing the do mestic tranquility of the Uuited States."

Preparations for the Eneum] r,,,ni —Col. Sher win Mcßae, who has the chief direction of the arrangements pertain lug to 'he Military En campment, to be held near Richmond ou the Bth of November next, is now busily engaged lv put iug things in Mich ashati«t_____theends of the encampment wil, b- pertect and thorough acquaintance with mili tary life and its duties, on the part, of those who participate lv the exercises which will be gone throu.h with daily at the camp. More ihau a sufllcieii t number of cavalry companies to make tb_ proposed eacampmeut v perfect success, have already signified their intention of being preseut, and it is highly probable that the Ist Regiment of Virginia Volunteers and several individual companies will be on hard. Yesterday the Fair Grounds were inspected, and that portiou assigned for the use of tbe troops during the abjve time were laid off by proper metes and bounds. Painful Accident.—We regret to learn that Mr. P. G t'oGHLAN, the local editor of the Enquirer, mn with a painful accident at his residence, ou Church Hill, on Tuesday night l-.st. About I o'clock Mr C. was aroused by somestrauge noise, appareutly in his cham ber below him, and springing from his bed, in the dark, made his way to his trunk to get a loaded pistol. Si*on alter getting hold of the weapon, by some unaccountable to him, it exploded, the ball taking effect in his lett hand, near the centre, and pa-sing through the thick part aud out near the thumb. Mr. C. called on Dr Knox soon after the occur rence. and had the Wound attended to. Yes terday moruing he was sutiering some pain, but the weund is uot at all dangerous if pro perly attended to. New Trial Refused.— Tbe Court of Appeals on yesterday reudered their decision on the pe tition ot Wm. D. Totty, pravmg a suj.ercedeas to a judgment of the Hastings Court, con demning him to be hung ou thetld day of N... veruber, f>r the murder of Catharine J. Tnom. The Court—a full bench beiug present —were unanimous in iheir resolve uot to in terfere with the original judgment. Totty will, therefore, be duly executed by the Ser gei* ut on the day named, at such place as may be selected, between the hours of 12 and 3 o'clock, unless the Governor should interpose to sta> execution, which is regarded as a very doubtful matter. Wanted Badly— The City Coroner, Dr. Pea chy, needs a receptacle, wnerein to deposit the bodiesof the unfortunate beings over whose mortal remains he is called occasionally to sit in judgment. Several months since the Council made au appropriation to build such a room as was called lor by the requirements of the case, but nothing has as yet been done in the matter. The sum of $l.iou was appropriated lor this purpose, aud tne Coroner is hardly ever called upon to act that the need of a room is not felt. They have "dead houses"' iv other cities, and should have one here. L«)t it be built. Still They Come.— The Union Agricultural Fair commences on Monday next, aud will be highly attractive to the admirers of fast horses and fine cattle. Every train and boat now ar riving brings fresh candidates for premiums, and sofSe of them of very superior type. Al ready there are horses here from all sections of Virginia, as well as fn*m Maryland, Penn sylvania, New York and Vermont, aud others will arrive belore the bour of opening. The cattle stalls also promise to be well filled with finestock ; aud altogether, the indications now are that the approaching show will be highly creditable to the two societies who are getting it up. Narrow Escape.— On Tuesday last one of Mr. Wm. H. Hardgroves children, a little girl about three years old, narrowly escaped being burned to death. While standing near the fire, the moruing beiug cool, the littiecrea ture's clothes became iguited. Becoming alarmed, she screamed and ran into the yard, where, fortunately, she was met by her father, who tore the blazing clothes from her person, thereby burning his own hands oadly. The child had her hair scorched, aud received a few slight burns. But for the accidental arri val of her father just in the nick of time, sbe would probably have been burned to death. Speech at the African Church.— The Douglas wing of the National Democracy were ad dressed at the above place on Tuesday night, by G. H. C. Rowe, E-q , elector lor thesth district, in a speech in defence of the position of Senator Douglas, and in vindication of his claims as the Democratic nominee tor the office of President. Mr. Rowe's effort was charac terized by ability, and was listened to with marked attention. At its conclusion, in obedi ence to repeated calls. Gen. Harmau, ol Au gusta, submitted a brief address. Pamurop(i> Bank Lock.— Ou. of thewouder fui locks, whicu bas defied ihe skill aud inge nuity of the most scientific lock-makers in ;i_e woiid to pick it, and bas received the highest commeuciatious for its perfecisecuruy against burglais both in Europe _ud America, bas r-een deposited iv the exhibition room of ihe Me chanics'lnstitute, by Mr. Wm. W.Suead, ol this city, Tbe lock is a combination, so ar ranged as to be entirely under the control of the owner only, aud is admirably adapted to toe u.e of bauks aud treasuries. Selling Goods by Sample. —The Mayor yester day held Charles Ripley, ot New York,"to bail iv the sum of 83.0, to appear berore tbe next Hustings Court to answer an indictment for selling paints, glass, Ac, by card. Tbe spe cific violation of the revenue law complained ot was in selling a lot of glass aud paint to Geo K. Crutchfleid, Esq., by sample, and tbe information of the olfeuce having been com mitted was laid by G W. H. Tyler, one ot tbe Commissioners ot the Revenue. Boots and Shoes —But one city manufacturer of boots and shoes has thought proper 10 send specimens of bis handicraft to tbe Mechanics' Fair. The specimens deposited, ho a ever, re ceive their due share uf attention from all visitors capable of appreciating durability aud elegance combined. Home made work M tbe best after all, if people would ouly thiuk so. Substantial Job.— The irou work for the new pivot bridge across the Dock, on 17th street, was executed by Messrs. Turner A Bro., of this city, aud from appearances is admirably done. The coutractor is now waiting tor suitable fljonu-, which is difficult to obtain; but as soon as he receives it, the work will be <- mpleted,aud the public giveu the u.e of the hr age. Concerned.— lt is said that Mrs. Mary R Cooper, the wife of Edward R. Cooper, is very solicitous tbat the Court ot Apjieals shall uot grant him a new trial for making a murderous assault on ber, ou the ground that if Cooper were at Inrge he would murder ber. He was sent by the Hustings Court to tbe State's Prison for live years, tor cuttiug her witu a haicnet. Sentenced.—Vfta. H. Robey was yesterday senieuced to Aye years' coutiuement iv the Peniteutiaiy, by the Judge of tbe Hustiug. Court, on a couvictiou lor the manslaughter of Wm. Giblin. Tbe prisoner expressed him self satisfied with tbe verdict, regarding it as a more reasonable punishment than he had hoped to obtain. Trotting Match.— Tuere was a good attend ance at Wagner's trotting track yesterday eve ning, 14 witness the trottiug match between Wm. Wail's black mare "Nelly " audC. Wag uer'e brown mare"L tdy Clifiord," mile beats, best three in Aye, for a silver goblet. The mare Nelly won with ease iv three straight heats. Time—23a * i 3:01; 2:58. Inter,stmg AUdms —Our townsman,N. A. Si i uuiVA.vr, __~<i, has promised to deliver an address before tne Mechanics" Institute, at their Exhibition Hall, to-night, and from his high reputation as a popular speaker, we axe sure that visitors may expect a rare intellec tual enterlaiument. The speafclag will *oia iu.u-e punctually at H w'.toefc.

La "" -The divine creatures embraced j ■ . r -__" B *»«__, and who may be j classified a« the wives, mothers and sweet- ! hearts or the sobs of man, do much toward the prosperity of tbemercbant by distributing the , cireulatieg medium, which theoretically wa in prone to condemn, but personally like i enough to dig and delve for with might and main. It has been remarked that for several weeks past more ladies have put in appear- I auces on the streets of this city than has been heart for a long time. Why this is the case we are not philosophers enough to determine unless the solution of the problem Is found iv the fact that one Fair is already in progress and another on the eve of commencement.— Observation and experience teaches us that when the ladies are on the streets, fascination lies in the gorgeous tissues of tbe silk worm and tbe loom, looking out through the plate glass dry goods windows. "How a robe of this velvet woulit become me," thinks one; —"a dress of that invisible «llk would suit my com plexien exactly," whispers another. The dry goods man has them on his hook, for sbe tbat deliberates is lost; they enter and purchase extensively. W ive ß are the circulating media between the wholesale and retail trades, tbe merchant prince and mechanic, aud as the value of money is in its distribution, let them have their way as they have a will, aud such diseases as a plethora of wealth will be no known O the physicians. Type Making is one of the arts that very few people know anything of. They cannot con ceive how each letter is cast, one at a time, aud have no conception of the art of mixing and preparing the metals for the mould. At the Mechanics' Institute Fair, Messrs. Walker _• Petou.e, of this city, hate their foundry in full operation, and are prepared to executeor ders at short notice. Their foundry attracts universal attention. Iron Bridge I ought to span the basin at oth and lOLh streets, so as to enable goods of every description to be hauled from Cary to Byrd street with les. inconvenience thau at present. Time is money to business men of all kinds, and to save it in the transportation of goods is essentially necessary. SfeWftwr Jat. Ripley, from New York, was examined belore me Mayor yesterday for for cibly euteriug tne house of Mary Oiarron, aud stealing sundry articles of personal property, and sent to j<til in default of bail, to await trial before the Hustings Court for petit lar ceny. Thedef-ndaui pleaded drunkenuess. Accident.— Ou Monday night last, Mr. John Doyle, of this city, leil down a flifeutoj steps, in passing lrom his room, in S'ibbius &. Pul len's buiiding.c rner ot 9 h and Broadscreets, and fracttireu his arm badly, between the el bow an_ theshonhier. Fairfir til C'our st is now undergoing a thor ough ovrliiulir.g, preparatory to the tali races, which are to commence ou Tuesday next. The track is said to be in better condi tion thau at any previous time for tlfieeu years. Attempting to Shoot. —Joseph Bernard was arraigned before the Mayor yesterday for drawing a pistol and au.inpung to shoot Warner B. Mahone. The matter having been adjusted between thepariies, the warrant was withdrawn. Hanover Presbytery, which consists of cler gymen und lay from the New School Presbyterian Churches in Eistern Virginia, holds a semi-annual meeting, commencing this evening, at 7>j o'clock, at Duval Stieet Church. Attractive Music.— Our citizens are daily treated to ncn instrumental mu-ic, furnished by the Armory Band, as an iiulu omr_i to persons to visit the Asbland Race Course, and wuness the races. Insolent.— The Mayor, yesterday, ordered a whipping to be bts'owed on John Jones, a free negro, for drunkenness and insolence to the night watch. Resigned.—We understand that Wm. B. Mil ler, lately appointed Inspector of Butter and Lnrd for the city ot Richmond, has resigned that office. Mt«s Adslinb r" A TTi will give two grand Con certs in Richmond next. wesk. The success of this wonoerfu! artist has been unprecedented in New York, Boston and Philadelphia We copj the fol lowing from the Boston Post: BKILLtiNT Scccuss Cf Aiiklina Patti.—A cel sbrated professor of the ait of singing has said, that there is au instrument oapatOe of producing a tone at ail comparai'l* to that of the human voice, and that the giory of all other instruments consists in the nearness of their SMroaeh 10 its marvellous perfection. The truth of this was suf fiotently exemp lfied last night by one who yet a mere girl, has in a short season soared to an emi nence more lofty than any Ivno artiS'ever at tained iv this country since Uie ilitsof Jenny land; for fcontag. great, gonous and unrivaled as she was in tne spring of ncr life, did not. cross the Atlantis until, alter years ol retirement, sue was compelled by reverse of fortune, anu in the "sere and yellow :eaf."' to retunie her piofessmn.

With those high, ciear note«, is emhouied the sen timent, the natural musical feeing, or as the French tern it, the'/.u .sirrr*"-sacred fire-of song.
