Suicide.
--A man, named Bolling V. Pierce was found dead in his room, at Mrs. Winfree's boarding-house, on Main street, yesterday morning, with vials by his side which had contained laudanum; which fact, with the other circumstances that previously occurred, left no doubt in the minds of persons acquainted with him, that he had committed suicide.
He was employed, until recently, at Mr. Mitchells saddlery, on Franklin street, but since the financial pressure commenced, had been idle.
Mr. M., however, engaged him on Saturday, to re-commence work yesterday.
His conduct then, and on Sunday, was like that of a man partially deranged.
He notified the family that the next day he would be a dead man, and made other remarks of an incoherent nature.
It was known, however, that he had been drinking, and little attention was given to his conversation.
Some time during the day, he went to his room, and nothing more was seen of him until he was found dead, as above stated.
The deceased
During robbery.
--The dwelling of Mrs. Winfree, on Franklin, near 17th street, was entered between Saturday night and Monday of last week, and a bundle containing eight white blanket coats as are now making for the Confederate Army, with all the necessary trimmings, to be manufactured.
The loss falls heavy on the ladies in whose charge they were placed.
We hope the police may be efficient in ferreting out the thief that justice may be inflicted upon him.

Re-enlisted for the war.
--We hear that a considerable number of the Lynchburg Rifles, Captain Winfree, have already re-enlisted for the war; also a number of the Home Guard, Captain Otey, have taken the same patriotic course and determined never to leave the service as long as a hostile banner waves over a foot of Southern soil.
We are gratified further to learn, that it is highly probable a large majority of all the companies from this city and county will again re-enlist.-- Lynchburg Rep.
