Other Evidences of Patriotism.

We stated a few weeks ago, that a certain
liberal minded gentleman, Of this District. was
selling his crop of wheat -four, at the moderate
price of 30 per barrel. This, we have since
learned Is not an isolated instance of genuine
benevoleuce and patriotism in our District
Another christian planter has been supplying
the inmihes Of soldiers with bacon at 90 cents
perpound
Another gentleman. in another quarter OF the
district, made large crop OF wheat, Of supe.
G'or kind, much sought after for seed; this
wheat which would command, according to the
prices established by spectators, four or five
dollars per bushel, he is selling at two dollars
per bushel.
A Agentleman, who for a numbers Of Years
mas helped to supply this market with fresh
meats continues to do so at a small advance
over old prices, and at considerably less than
others are demanding for the same articles.
lhero may be, and doubtless are, other int
stances in the District, which have not come
70 our knowledge. All who are pursuing this
course deserve to be singled out aud remember
ed by their iellow'ctizens. We would not .x,
changc their chances for success aud happiness
heither as pertaining to the affairs of this world
or the world to come, for the chances of those
who are pursuing an opposite course. When
this war, which has done so much to deyelon
the characters of men, is over, and the miss.
deeds and the good deeds Of the actors in the
sttugge is being canvasscd in the minds of
those whe survive it,these men can hold up their
heads with the consciousness that they did their
du!y-that they did not hoard up the produce
OF their farms. but dealt il out to the needy at
living rates, and declined TO avail themselves
oil the opportunity OF growing rich while their
county MAS stepped in Affections and dyed in
she blood Of their relatives and ncghbors. A
record Lire this is Of higher value than silver
or gold.
