The Richmond Enquirer Of Thursday la

The Richmond Enquirer Of Thursday last
makes Il touching appeal to the editor Of the
Charleston Mercury, begging him for the
pyeSeuf to discontinue his expression Of
contempt for he courage, the fidelity, and
the honesty Of VirgnIans, which his editori-
al articles too frequently seem 10 Import. -
The Enquirer uryes this suit on the ground
that ii is engaged rs it trusts, in II common
cause with its Charleston contemporary, and
concludes rs fellows:
I'VE trust. therefore. that the editor %! that
journal will recognise Mepyudcnce, if not the
entire propriotg, of abstaining, at present,
from the too r,rcib'e expression Of his per
snnal dislike tur Eirgini" and Frginians."
1t is to be hoped. says thc National Intel
ligenccr, that Tie Mercury will not turn a
deaf ear to this affecting appeal, 81 m''destly
urged in the name Of prudence" by those {,
who lat present" depreciata its ''too torcibie"
inputations on ''Yirginia and Yirginians."
We apprehend that Virgins: and Eirginlans
will know hhw to appreciate &. toroearance
inns cnaXin9!v invoked fer the north.

LOCAL ITEMS.

CHRISTMAS EyE.-Christma is triumphant
over the crisis, and peasanter faces than
might have been seen in our streets yester-
day, one would 20 long way to see. At
morning, the market was much fuller than
is usual on Monday mornings, and enquiries
for Turkies rather in excess of demands for
everything else. But no sooner was dinner
hour over, than the streets began to grow
merry with the smiling througs which filled
them. Old folks and young folks, mothers,
daughters, and little SONS, with now and
then spruce young gentleman, that one
might have sworn was looking for Something
t.n please his lady-luve-all looked in at the
Eurietv stores. examined the elegant assert
ments in the Bookstores and bought hugely
at the Toy shops. Indeed, every department
of trade was lively, and there seemed to be
a general determination not TO allow the
crisis to cheat the people out of a merry
Christmas" At night, the stores put on
