NEw-YEARs DAY IN RICHMOND.
There was a more general observance Of
New. Years yesterday than usual, owing to
the fact that the war has brought TO Rich
mond a considerable addition to our popu-
lation from other cities where the anniver.
sary is always period of social festivity.
The day was as bright and beautiful as
spring, though the breeze stirred up the
dust in rather an unpleasant way. The
streets were thronged with ladies, and every
body looked gay and cheerful. Among the
notable events Of the day was the Presidents
reception, which commenced at twelve
o'clock and continued three hours. The
President stood at the door of the large re-
ception room, and thousands of persons took
advantage of the opportunity to give him a
friendly grasp Of the hand. Mrs. Davis was
not present, but her place was we'll supplied
by her sister, Miss Howell, Mrs. Colonel
Davis and Mrs. General Jones. The cere-
monies of introduction were conducted by
the Presidents aids, Colonel Joseph Davis
and Colonel G.. w. @. Lee. The Armory
Band YVES present. and every thing passed
off delightfully."-.
CAMP PRICES.
The annexed extract from Centerville
IVA letter will give the reader some. idea
of the prices at which various articles sell at
the suffers stores:
By paying five prices for the article you
obtain any thing in the market, from sardines
to stove polish. Oysters arrive every night,
from the shell, "only dollar quart" while
preserves, pickles, nuts, raisins, shirts, draw
ers, looking glasses, cigars, stockings, boots
(S25 per pair, caps, cards, crockery, and ten
thousand other articles, make up the organi-
cation of the commanding general, over
whom the owners hoist their banners; "Gen-
eral Assortment"
THE ENORMOUS PRICE OF GOLD.
From the Richmond Examiner, Dec. sl.1
Gold in small sums is selling at fifty per
cent. premium, and the price of gold is the
barometer of the smuggling trade. Any sort
of property can be purchased at the South
with the currency furnished by the banks
and the Government. The finest estates in
Virginia and Alabama-the best securities
that can be had in any market-the substan-
tials of life-the luxuries of the rich-the
necessaries of the poor-the fnery displayed
in the streets and at the churches-horses,
cattle, swine, bread, meat, every thing in the
South that has value, intrinsic or conven-
tional, except few articles made the sub.
ject of extortionate speculation, can be pro.
cured at reasonable prices. This great fact is
proof conclusive that money is at no material
depreciation, and that the high price Of gold
is Fictitious and abnormal.
