The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1862-01-28


An important bearing on public feeling. has
ianspired for 20 long . period that . course
VI commerce bassd on tho home demand and
supplies, independent Of foreign trade. has been
gong ON with rsmarkabls steadiness and
fssuAAHy. We AL seem to have become 40.
cussomed 70 It.. And thsSs 10 now an activity
ana energy IN preparing the needed supplies
ana oietributing them to the points whore
needed, that has never been eou.,ls., M thu
South. In this city there 10 extraordin.rv
amin alton In all but the wholessI e drv .ooa.
and iron bosiness. Real estate, the erea, ,.s,
Of public confidence and prosperity. sells NJ
higher rates ut this time in this city than n.
any former period. The War has really given
q spur to business in the South II never knew
before.
Public conhdsn nee In 0nfsderxts and State
stocks Is strong. The people adhere to their
Governments. They are willing 70 stand or
fall with them. They believe In the triumph
Of the South, but they are determined to
share its fate. If it fails, they know that We
all fail, and that whatever form Of properly
they hold It must perish. and ruin come upon
all. Therefore. all stand BY the stocks und
ihe public credit.
There are very light stocks Of groceries,
and prices are high. There are no changes
to note OF importance.
The miserable shinplaster currency which
now overspreads the land Is losing somewhat
Of the limited credit 1t had. People never
had filth in il; but they used 1t SIMPLY be.
cause they could not make change without
il. The number OF Its manufacturers, how.
ever. increased, and their quality and respect
ability were not at all improved. Men whose
characters were even worse than their sigma.
tures-who could scarcely write their OWE
names-have been busily SUPPLYING the coun.
try with q circulating medium. The public
have begun to look little more seriously at
the matter and are beginning TO discrimi.
nate, rejecting some and accepting others of
the much soilsd and Idorifeyous rags. But,
