rae Virginia;Press Suppression.
The Objectionable Arttclc-PcrsohalUles
Treasonable.
Wo have Announced by telegraph the
suppresslonofthe Richmond Examiner,
a newspaper revived by Mr. H. Bives
J>ollard some months since. We now
give the article for which it was sup
pressed, It is from the Examiner of the
sth instant:
The “Loyal” “ Union” Hop at
the Spottswood Last Night.—Fri
day evening, while debating within our
own mind the approach of the grand
“ hop” of “ the United States military
officers ”*at the Spottswood; while we
considered and weighed the propriety
of our attendance, and turned over gar
ment after garment in our wardrobe,
vainly in search of good loyal colors
red, white and blue, or blue alone, with
a stitching of lave"; while we weighed
our imperfections as a late “rebel” with
nothing “loyal,” ifonlyin color, to wear
—the subjoined poetic missive, from a
lady, delicately penned floated into our
hands, and put courage in our heart:
[INSCRIBED TO MR POLLARD.]
Pollard, do be bright,
And say what Is right
Of the hop to-night.
Secessionists fair
Will surely be there,
Its pleasure to share;
Will join in the dance,
Its beauties enhance,
And kind words advance;
And will manifest
A spirit you’d best
Just go and attest.
Very respectfully,
Now, if we have a weakness that is
greatest among our little weaknesses it
ia"a‘weakness for obeying orders —more
especially when those orders emanate
from a lady, even though it be to rescue
her glove from the jaws of the lion, or
attend the “ loyal Union hop” at the
Spottswood. But if, in obedience to the
:command, we did attend, it was but for
a moment that we looked in upon the
enchanted scene of fuiry forms, moving
under the escort of blue and lace—an
undulating ocean, heaving to the ca
dence of the waltZjiebbing out and low
ing in, fringed by the foam of snowy
silks and muslin, and alabaster arms. —
, Oh, it was a lovely scene !
“ We saw H beta moment.,
But metliinks u e sec: it now.
There were mingled roses of every hue
—the supercilious jessamine of New
England, the wild prairie llower of the
West, the creeping honeysuckle of the
North, the hawtliorne of the East, and
hollyhock, twining about the poor little
daisy of Virginia, and the Southern rose
that thrives most trampled on,” and
gives out its sweetest perfume beneath
the iron heel. Poorbleeding rose! your
garments are dyed with the blood of the
slain.
There is a pause in the dance, andthe
promenade begins. The delightful music
of two full hands, playing alternately,
give the key to the motion of the pronie
naders, and teaches them to ‘‘keep step
to*the music of the Union.” See the
bright uniforms, the glittering dress
swords (bloodless!) the resplendent bril
liants, tlie lustrous silks, thebrighteyes!
Are there no dim eyes there? No,-not
one, but
“Bright eyes looked love to tlu»e that looked
again,
And all went merry as a mart luge bell."
Above all ami over all are extended
the folds of that proud Hag that never
wcut down dimmed in the battle’s van
that, never was disgraced by the pillage
and vandalism of those that bore it in a
mission of conquest through tjie South
—before it a garden, behiud it a desert.
In all that gay throngof loveand beauty'
is there no sad, sick heart; no aching
brow, no trembling lip? Before the
vision of one does there not pass a spirit
form in gray, that, like the ghost of
Hamlet, beckons her hence? Away!
thou gray phantom from the grave;
"Take thy beak from out mv heart,
Take thy shadow from the door!"
The promenade ends, the music be
gins, and the throngs of blue uuiforms,
sandwiched between native and exotic
roses, are moving in thequadrille of the
“ Lancers.” How the music inspires ;
how the feet twinkle and sound; how
the golden spursjingie; how thesheath
ed, harmless swords ruitlc in their scab
bards ; how the red sashes of the “ U.
S. A.” tloat in unison with the gay
streamers of their partners, heavy and
feathery feet beating in time. We are
ready to clap our hands audshout, “Go
it!” We are ready to “fall in,” and
pair off with a New England jessamine ;
but, oil dear! our gray clothes! We
would, indeed, be a spectre—an unbid
den guest—one without a wedding gar
ment at the intermarriage of the North
and Bouth after four years’ divorce
ment
Now comes the Huai midnight whir
before supper;
Endearing waltz to thy more melting time
Ndw Spanish tiuUancient Rigadoon !
Scotch reel, avaunt! and Irish jig iorcgo
Thy future claims to each fantastic toe.
Waltz, Waltz alone, both bauds and legs de
mands,
Liberal of her legs and lavish of her hands—
Hands which may freely range in public sight
Where ue'er before—but pray put out the light
THE SUPPER
Did infinite credit to the corps of French
cooks attached to the Spoottswood, and
attested the unbounded liberality of
Messrs. Corkery 6c Millward, the pro
prietors. The dishes and wines were
abundant and excellent, and the loaf en
semble of the table perfect to a paragon.
Through the politeness and courtesy of
the clieif Sambo, we were permitted,
under guard, previous to tlie sitting
down, to cost one glance upon the table
groaning beneath their weight of rich
viands, then with a bill of fare thrust
into our hand we retired,
“And cast one longing, lingering look behind.

THE SUPPER OVER,
the guests refreshed, streamed back
ward to the ball-room, and our poor
Virginian daisy and crimson Southern
rose were again whirling in the mazes
of the dance, now lost in blue, now
blooming out once more upon the silk
and satin edges of the throng.
TIIE LADIES,
Like stars, a suddetf seen, and lost within tl
minty way.
By arithmetical calculation we com
puted the number of ladies present at
fifty—all exotic plants save one single
lady, Miss , who was . dressed in
crimson, and, as an offset of the typical
blood of the Southern martyrs, wore a
white ribbon at her throat, lackingonly
the blue to make her colors national.
Then there were Mrs. George Wilson.
Miss Clapp, niece of the 1 celebrated
Union lady of Church HiU (Mrs. Van
Lew); the Misses Bott3, daughters of
the Hon. J. M.-Botts; Mrs. B. Ward
dell, Mrs. B-:—, Mrs; General Hen
. nihgsen.of Hennlngsien Hospital noto
riety. who was presented with a gold
•watch and ohain during the war by the
: 'l*6ulsianasolcUers; Miss Taylor, daugh
ter of Mr. John Taylor, of the firm' of
Van Low, Taylor <fc':Co.; Miss Jennie:
Holmes, daughter of Mr. Holmes, ma
chinist, and, others, whose obscure
names, never heard.ofihpblite circles,
shall not here be even given the sug
estive prominence of. their 'initials.
These were the ladies Richmond and
Virginia lent to the occasion.. - The dis-
tinction of “belle of the ball” Was
unanimously awarded Miss Grey, of
Rochester, New York, who is a mil
lionairess —worth a half million In gold
—not greenbacks, remember. She was
dressed in blue satin, and either she or
her prospective pile was “ the observed
of all observers-."
WHO WERE THERE THAT WE KNEW.
Among the gentlemen who, in be
coming colors, did honor to the occa
sion by their presence and deported
themselves perfectly at home in strange
company, we noticed Mr. James W.
Lewellen, editor and proprietor of the

mighty fond of “Yankee hops,” at
tended the last “ hop” also at the Bal
lurd House, and dances and whirls
around with them in the real good old
fashioned style ; E. M. Ross, chief clerk
at the Libby in helium days (with his
eye on several of his former guests in
blue when it was “ his time ”); Ike T.
Smith, with a wound, received not in
battle, but by a saw-mill! now recon
structor of mowers and reapers, and
dispenser of good “Union” seeds;
Samuel S. Carter, of the firm of Carter
& Montefro; James S. Kent; Francis
.). Smith (a relation of John’s), “ slip
pery creature,” ami late State Treas

again;” B Ward well, “cool, icy man,”
importer of Boston icicles, and whilom
Major!'. S. A. (well known in Rich
mond), who rail off North and came
into Richmond with the Yankee army
on the.morning of the evacuation, and
commenced wreaking bis vengeance by
arresting every citizen he met, but for
tunately the fellow carried his zeal so
far that lie was dismissed from the ser
vice. Vernon A. Bouis, formerly clerk
in the Quartermaster’s Department, late

of Yankees up to tlie) full of Richmond,
then scribbler to the New York Herald
i,71 route for Brazil and Mexico, estab
lishiuga line of fWf-//c-graph correspond
ents as he goes. One of the most serious
incidents of the evening was that
Charley Hunt, who was present imtlie
character of Count Gillistine, sporting a
splendid chapeau and plume, taking of
fence at one of the Federal officers, chal
lenged him, but tlie fellow crawfished!
Bully for Charley!
When the last music ripple broke hi
the ball-room; when the last gay couple
passed in tlie waltz; when tlie last gas
light flickered upon the wrecked Argosy
of the supper table and dchris of the
ruins, the diligent hands upon the dial
of the timepiece were hastening toward
tiie morning hours, and Aurora was'
painting the east in rosy colors of tlie
dawn.
A Friend.
Thomas Topham, the “ strongman,”
was born in London in 1710, and was
bred a carpenter, but afterwards “ trav
eled ou his muscle.” He was a quiet,
peaceable man, of middle size and
weight, made like other men except
that the usual cavities under the arms
and hands were, in his case, filled full
of muscles. The wonderful stories of
his feats of strength are well authenti
cated.
He could hold under perfect restraint,
and with ease to himself, the strongest
horse. He lifted a table six feet long,
with fifty pounds on the end of it, with
his teeth, and held it in a horizontal
position a considerable time. He rolled
up a pewter dish, weighing seven
pounds, with as much apparent ease as
the reader would roll up a Bheet ofpaper,
Ho held a pewter quart pot at arm's
length and squeezed the sides together
like an egg shell.
He lifted HIM) pounds with Ills little
finger and waved it gently uround his
head. He lifted Mr, Chambers, a cler
gymen, who must have lived on the
fat of the land for ho weighed :174 IMb,
with one haiid, Mr. Chambers' head
being placed on one chair anil his feet
on another. At a blow he struck a
round bar of iron one inch in diameter,
against his arm and bent it like a bow.
One night, observing a watchman
asleep in his watch-box, he picked up
box and watchman, carrying the load
with the greatest ease, and dropped them
over the wall into Tindale burying
ground.
A butcher once passed a large window
at which Topham was sitting. He
stooped down and took half an ox from
the fellow's shoulders with so much
ease and dexterity that the man swore
the devil had llown away with his beef.
At a race a man insisted upon driving
upon the track ; so Topham took hold
of the tail of his cart and drew it gently
back, the driver whipping thehorse like,
a madman all the time.
When he kept a public house two
men were determined to fight him ; so,
to satisfy them, he seized them by the
lmpeS'Of-their necks, and knocked their
heads together till he knocked all the
fight out of them.
He astonished a sailor, who presented
him with a cocoa-nut, by cracking il
close to his ear as you would a pea-nut;
and upon one occasion be lifted three
hogshead of water. Once he threw his
horse over a turn pike gate, and at any
time could go through the manual of
arms with the beam of a house.
ropulnr Fallacies Concerning the Dead
A somewhat interesting letter by a rev
erend gentleman, who is about to pub
lish a work on the Holy Land, for the
Christian Knowledge Society* appeared
in the early part of this week in the col
umns of the daily papers, on the subject
of the Dead Sea. The Reverend gen
tleman, who has for a long time resided
on the shores of this famous lake, with
a view to the study of the natural his
tory of its euvirous and of the land gen
erally, briefly dissipatessome of the most
erroneous but best-established illusions
and traditions respecting this maligned
spot. Hitherto it has been supposed,
and even decided in school books,
that the margin of the great salt
sea was fatal* to animal and
vegetable life. This is that “first fool
ish fond tradition ” which this new au
thority hastens to dispel. So far from
being fatal, 118 specimens of birds either
swim through or fly over its waters.—
The birds which fell plumb down, dead
—as Coleridge's albatross, killed by the
mephitic vapors of the gloomy pool—
are a mere myth. More than forty
specimens of mammalia revel on its
banks; in Its canebrakes and jungle,
On Ills Muscle.
Indigo, maize ahd barley grow on somfr
of its approaches to witlliu a few feet of
the margin. Hence it must'be con-;
sidered' Lather a Paradise than' an
Aceldama. „
The reverend writer, Indeed, sug
gests that, on account of its, salt and
sulphur springs, it should be adopted as
a'sanatorium. Fancy the Dead Sea*ah
anew Baden and a company established
to make it a place of fashionable resort.
Things more unlikely have happened
ere this ; and save that bathing is more
or less impracticable, because one’s feet
will rise above one’s head in swimming
on these dense waters, there appear no
practicable difficulties in the way of
such a scheme. —London Correspondent

MANY KILLED AND A LARGE NUMBER
/ WOUNDED.
Over two hundred accidents from kicking
and runniug away of horses occurred during
the past year, in Lancaster county alone—
nearly ail of which resulted in injuring the
drivers, kllllngsoine, maiming and wounding
others, and in most cases, breaking costly car
riages aud hurting tbe hors s
Of the above, nine-tenths were tame family
horses. The Safety Bridle will put an end to
all such needless accidents, and with the Safety
Lines the speed of every horse is easily much
increas d.
At a spccinl meeting of the Saddlers of Lair
caster county, Pa., held In Lancaster city, Nov
27, 1865, the following resolutions were unani
miously adop ed : ,
Whereas, The usefulness, power and safety
oQDr.|Hartman’s Safety Bridle and Lines have
been publicly demonstrated in the presence of
from one thousand teflf een hundred persons
to their entire satisfaction ; and since it was
proven at the Mi lersville horse exhibition on
four of tbe most vicious and confirmed kickers
and runaways, that with the Safety Bridle and
Lines it is utterly impossible for a horsoeither
to kick or run away; .therefore
That we. the Saddlers of Lancaster
county, Pa., beln-ve that the Safety Bridle and
Lines nccompli -b all, and eveu more, t. au is
claimed by the atentee. In preventing horses
from kicking and runuingaway.
Resolved, That iu view of the above facts, we
deem it our legitimate duty, both indlvidu liy
and collectively, to exert all honorable means
to at once introduce the Bridle ami Lines, be
cause in doing so we In a very great measure
preveut all accidents with horse, while with
the old and defective bridle we put in great
jeopardy both liie and limb.
Resolved , That herealler we manufacture no
other but Safety Bridles, unless especially or
dered
The price of Individual Rights is $o each ;
County Rights, from SlOO.uu to 85UU.00, according
to population—those containing arge cities
excepted.
No other investment before the public pre
sents such inducements of making money. In
ever county there are at 1 ujt twenty town
ships, and in each township t least one hun
dred persons who drive horses—which a’ five
dollars lor au Individual right will amount to
SoOU per township, and ten thousand dol ars
($10,000) for each county at the rate of twenty
townships at live hundred dollars eacii ! I.have
not the least doubt but that amount-of money
can be made out of a county with proper busi
ness tact and energy. The price of counties is
so small (JS to place the investment iu the
hands of every one, for few are so poor as to be
unable to raise one hundred dollars.
Another feature about this invention is that
the proprietor of territory need not manufac
ture the bridles and lines, as the ordinary bridle
can be easily altered luto a Safety. The lines
only require to be juade to order, and these am
be made by any saddler for a trifle more
than the ordinary lines. Hence, unlike other
patents, the right to use it only is sold
No man need wish for a greater f riune than
right of a .State. To show the confidence
tbe paten ee has in his invention, he offers to
pay one thousand dollars for any horse that
can either kick or run away when under the
influence of the Safety Brid e and Lines. For

Gentlemen:—l have receutly been hibornig
nder the distressing effects of indigestiou, ac
companied by a prostration of the nervous sys
tem. Numerous remedies were recommended
by friends, and some of thorn tested, but wltn
out relief. Your Hoolhuid’s German Bitters
were recommended by persons who had tried
them, and whose favorable mentiou of these
Bitters induced me to try them. I must con
fess that I nad an aversion to Patent Medicines
from the “thousand and one’’ quack “Bit
ters,” whose only aim seems to be to palm off'
sweetened ami drugged liquor upon the com
munity in a sly way, and the tendency of
which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed
drunkard. Upon learning that yours was
really a medicinal preparation 1 took It with
happy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was
prompt and gratifying. L feel that I have de
rived great and permanent benetit fronj the
use of a few* bottles.

Although not disposed to favor or recoin
mend Patent. Medicines In general, through
distrust of their ingredients and effect-, I }el
know of no sufficient reasons why a man may
not testify to the b-netlis he believes htinseil to
have received Irom any simple preparation, lti
the hope that he mav thus contribute to the
benefit of others.
I do this the more readily In regard to Hoof
land’s German Bitters, prepared by lJr. C. M.
Jackson, ol this city, because I was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the Im
pression that they were chiefly an alcoholic
mixture. I am Indebted to my friend. Robert
Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of tills preju
dice by proper test# and for encouragement i o
try them wlien suffering from great aud long
continued debility. The use of three bottles ol
these Bitters at the beglunlng ol the present
year, was followed by evident reliefanu restor

which I had not fell for six months before, and
had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore
