To Eu!'ernui Wearefs aud Butternut
Pickcrs.
There is evidently n fault amouG
you that you quarrel with each other
and believe the fault rests on eacl
party.
The wcarers of buttenuts, by wear.
ling them, show a defiant and tempt
ing spirit, unbecoming gentleman ol
lady; and by going to Sabbath schools
and meetings out of their usual places
in some instances armed-throw
themselves open TO the censure of al
peaceable and law abiding people
and violate the laws OF the land
And those who undertake to remove
those badges by force, act imprudent.
.ly, by lowering themselves to
the level of such persons and subject
ing themselves to the penalty of the
law, and enables them to gain theil
object, viz: to create difficulty and
'engender hard feelings among neigh.
bors. For, notwithstanding temp.
tations may be offered, the law will
not justify the taking those badges of
by force, as long as they do not in
jure the rights of others. If they
wish to adv ertise to the world theil
characters,y ,you are not their guardians
and have no right to prevent it by
force. Those wearing these badges
are often called traitors, rebels, &c
This, I think, is wrong, as many, and
l believe the majority of those wear.
ing are ignorant of the real signifi,
canee of the emblem.
My advice to all is, to stop calling
names, wearing badges and cultivate
peace and harmony among neighbors
for we are told by high authority
blessed are the peace makers" i
any persist in wearing these badges
for the sake of advertising themselve.
to the world as traitors, pass then
BY in silent contempt, and they viii
become ashamed of it.
Remember the character you now
form for loyalty or disloyalty will bt

BUSINESS IN RIcHMoSD.--The opinion Is quite preva-
lent that several fortunes made in Richmond last
year. by spectators aud contractors but the books of
the Commissioners of the Revenue show that the lar
gest amount of profits returned by any one firm or in
vdual, only one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars. There doubtless many incrcdulous persons
who may think that evasion of the law has been
pracised and others who would be willing to give twice
sl5OOOO upon fair investigation, for the largest pro
fits realized in this city last year. But be this as 1t
may, the fact appears upon record that despite the ra
pid and extraordinary rise in prices last year. no one
person or firm made over $4,000. Can figures lie ?
By the way, copy of the Commissioner books are
kept at the clerks office Of the Hastings Court, and are
worthy the inspection of the curious.

missioner brought forward proposition for an indvid-
ual exchange which was neither fair, nor respectful to
the Confederate authorities Ga the arrival Of the hig
boat at City Point last Friday, Gen. Meredith senta tel
egram to Col Ould informing him that no had brought
up Major Ed B. Jones, of the 18th Mississippi, and
proposed 10 exchange him for Major White, of New
York In this instance it will be observed the Yankee
authorities not only selected the Confederate officer but
designated the Federal officer whom they wished to re-
lease from captivity.
Colonel Ould regarded the proposition as dicatoria
and Of course did not assent but instructed Captain
Turner of the "LIbby," to send down Yankee Major
ON the wing morning. under guard, which was &C
cordingy done. This officer was Major A. Won Weitze
of the 74h Pennsylvania Infantry who was captured at
Gettysburg.
Before his arrival at City Point General Meredith had
returned to Fortress Monroe bu had left Instructions
with Major milford to exchange Major Jones for Major
White Captain Hatch, the assistant Of Colonel Oald
made formal tender of Major Won Weitzcl for Major
Jones, which rejected by Major Milford, acting in
accordance with his instructions.
So ended the attempt to effect a =" onesided ex-
change" Msjor Jones returned to Fortress Monroe,
and on perceivng the game that was attempted to be
played must have aequesced in the action which re-
mitted him TO a Yankee prison. Major Won Wei!zel
did not conceal his disappointment and on his way back
to the Libby" doubtless wished for an opportunity

transaction We learn that he did not withhold his
sentiments from his feow.captves at the Libby, and
