We copy the following article concerning this enterprising house from the Norfolk Virginian, heartily endors ing all therein said : "The bright prospects opening out for the iutuie of our city, the ranklt has already won as a cotton market, and the great increase in its trade, with the ex ertions which are beirig made by our merchants to expand theirbusiness con nection?, has attracted and is attracting attention x throughout the country. Among the mercantile firms of our city that have been unceasing in their efforts to produce these results, none have. done more than that of the well known gen eral commission house of C. W. Grandy & Sons. It is one ot our oldest, largest and wealthiest firms, and has through its admirable business management, its high standing, the promptness with w dch it has always attended to business confided to its care, and the untiring 4 and unceasing efforts , of the ' in dividual members of the firm, as well as all connected with it, has won areputa tion and a rank that is indeed most flattering. The house established in 1845, the senior member of the firm, C. VV. Grandy, Sr., coming from our neighboring State, North Carolina, a State which has furnished us with so many of our best business men and citi zens. The business of the house is strictly commission, and to this their entire energies and exertions are con fined. Through them a good deal of trade that formerly went to New York, Baltimore and other chic's has been stopped here. This they have been able to accomplish, by setting lorth, in nu merous circulars, which they have scat tered in profusion among the planteisof Eastern and Middle North Caiolina,aud Southeastern Virginia, the many and superior advantages Norfolk affords as a market, by clearly exhibiting the Tact that the ntt returns to the producer on his commodities sold here are larger than those received from any other market, and thus large shipments ol cotton ate made to this house ship ments which yearly increase in magni tude, owing to the willingness of the House to accord their patrons every facility. Having ample means, they are prepared to offjr very superior induce ments by honoring sight drafts made agaiu&t shipments to them, and uiaKiug liberal cash ad vances ou bills ot lading in hand. Ap plicants can alvva)s get any amount they may want from tiiem upon proper secu rity, payments to bo made by shipment of crops. Besides, we are iuiornied that the linn forwards cotton and other pro duce ci.ect to Liverpool, or to any market their friends may desire, with outextra charge for forwarding, charg ing only one commission, whether sold by themselves or their consignees in other markets. The advantage's accru ing to our city by this house in the in crease of our trade in groceries, dry goods, bojts and shoes and merchandize generally are very great. Doing, as be tore remarked, an exclusively commis sion business, they received daily large orders lrom their army of friends lor supplies, and the amouut of money thuo spent in our city lrom his source alone is much m the item ot Norloik's prosperity. "The long and large experience of this house, and its great lacilities, as briefly stated above, enables it to com pare lavoiably with any house North or South, audihe confidence which is re posed in it by its numerous lriends and patrons a confidence which ua.s grown with the growth and streugthend with the strength ol the firm ia but a just tribute to the worth, ability and iuieg rity of C. W. Grandy & Sons." GitAPiiiTK oh Blacklead. The Wake county vein of this miueral has been described :s lonu ago as the first Geological rcpott iu 1814 and 1827 by .... . . . Drs.

Our Oxford Corres pondent, writing under date of yester day, nends us the following from that place : Mr. Thomas J. Pittard came to town last week and tied his horse, as i3 his custom, in the lot in rear of the store of Messrs. Herndon, Hunt & Co. About 4 o'clock p. m. Mr. Pittard discovered that his horse had left the lot, but sup posed as a matter of course that he had returned home. Iu this supposition, however, he was mistaken. He. has thus far been unable to get any clue as to the whereabouts ot his horse, and think it not improbable tltat he lias been stolen. It is reported that a large ball dog, the property of Rev. Chasteen Allen, broke loose from his confinement with in the past few days, and, is killing sheep on an extensive scale. Madame Tiumor has it, that he has slain some twenty thirty belonging to Messrs. Franklin B. and to. II. Hester and others, have suffered similarly from his depredations. His tenure on life hangs by a tender thread, as it is likely to be sapped as soon, as he puts in au appearance in propria penoia. For some time past Elder It. D. Hart has been laboring under serious indis position, being confined to his room at the house of his son-in-law, Mr. Alexan der Crews. He has sufficiently recovered to walk about town, and is considered by himself, and physician, as standing a fair chance to recover, although consi derably enfeebled by his recent severe attack. Mr. James A. Patillo, from whom a tumor weighing twenty pounds was amputated by Dr. Christopher John son, of Baltimore, one of the most em inent surgeons in the United States, an account of which has been published in the News, was in town on Satur day the 30th inst., and was looking hale and hearty. Dr. J. was fifteen min utes in cutting off the immense excre sauce owing to the number of arteries that had to be tied upas he proceeded, yet Mr. Patillo' had the resolution to submit to the terrible ordeal without taking chloroform. Mr. Patillo is an estimable citizen and speaks in the highest let ms of the gentlemanly bearing of Dr. Johnson, from whom he received many marks of kin.lnes;. Mr. White, of Elliott s White, Nor folk and Mr. Piummer, of E. H. Plum mer & Co , Petersburg, were on a visit io Oxford, on Tuesday, in the in terests ol the firms respectively that they represent. At, the Osborne House thev partook of tome of the celebrated Oden- heimer Sauce manufactured bv John E. Odenheimer, E.-q., and immediately thereupon purchased a gallon to take with them home. II your voracious Local Editor, Mr. Woodson, is in want i.f any of this sauce, which is really a good appetizer, tell him to telegraph at once, or Mr. Odenheimer will not be able to supply him with more than one hundred gallons.

Arch Williams Cotton Sled. As will be seeu by the advertisement in this issue, that Mr. J no. A. Harrison has been appointed by Mr. Williams agent lor the exclusive saleoi' the celebrated Williams cotton seed. Having already coaimented upon the merits ot this new candidate lor public . . . favor, we can only repeat that in our opinion the yield and lint is not ex celled by any cotton in u?e, and we seriously doubt equalled. It is something eutiiely new, thy seed having been imported by Mr. Williams himsell, who. aiter expeiiuieutiug fully, declares the cotton io be, not only ot the finest quality, burtbe yield larger than any othr known to him. . From a long personal acquaintance with Mr. Williams, wc can conscienti ously assert that .Aorth Carolina can boast ol no man more reliable in every particular than Aich Williams, of Nash, The Swimdler "Preston IIamfton.0 Our readers will lemcmber that, re- centlv a man, calling himself 'Preston Hampton," figured in (liftl-rent portions of this State, and in this city, as an impostor.

We are deeply pained, to hear of the death of Dr. Solomon Williams, which occurred at his residence, near Shady Grove, Warren county, on Wednesday the 2d inst. Dr. Williams wTas about eighty years old at the tim'e ot his' death. He had lived to a ripe old age, and died, as he had lived with, the respect, affection and reverence of his relatives, neigh bors and lriends. f For many years he had been a devoted and pious member of the Methodist church. As a physician, as a citizeD, as a friend, and as a Christian, he performed his duty laithfully, con scientiously, usefully, and his death will cause a vacancy in his neighborhood which, perhaps.will never be filled. We trust that some pen more compe tent than ours will do jastice to his memory, and pay an appropriate tribute to his distinguished services and Chris tian virtues. "' The Right Men in the Right Place.

S., April 4. A steamer has just arrived from the wreck steamer Atlantic. The ship is almost intact. Only a few packages of her cargo have come ashore. The report that Mrs. Fisher's body had been found wa3 not correct. The story in some of the papers that Albert Sumner committed suicide is false. One of -his friends, who was saved, says Mr. Sumner held on to the wreck as l.onw as he could, and then was washed off by the Sea. The Captain says the stories ot the mutilation of bodies by the crew are fa Is?, and reports of robberies are largely ex aggerated. He says the people at Prospect did all they could for the living and the dead, but among the crowds who flocked to the place from the surrounding country there were some who rilled the bodies when ever they could get a chance. The col lector of customs is awaiting instruc tions from headquarters, and will pro bably commence an investigation this evening' and in- the morning. 'The Captain cau give no explanation of the cause of the disaster, except miscalcule- tions as to the current, and the vessel s speed. Great numbers of people are leaving in steamers going down to the wreck. Last night a coal train from Picton ran off the track west of Truo soon after Inter-Colonial express train from Saint Johns, New Brunswick, came along and ran into the freight. Ihe engineer Camerou,and the baggage master, Hunt, were killed. None of the passengers were injured. Among pas sengers were agents ot the White Star line who were coming to Halifax to look after the Atlantic. ;'. ' One hundred and sixty-lour is the exact number of bodies louud up to this morning. The, work ; of burying them has commenced and a gang ol men will be se.nt down this evening to help the fishermen in that woik. The bodies of J. II. Price, Henry L. Hewitt, Mr. Merritt and Miss Merrrtt, of New "iorkj Albert Sumner, of San Francisco, Henry Metcalf, the.second ofiicer, were brought up to the city. Later.
