Grand, gloomy, peculiar, and unruiiied Gs
the bosom Of Jehovah, after SIMEON, the city
continued Oh yesterday to dem onstrats rs
placidity under the diff ,ulties inflicted On ts
patience by the powers that be. The stores -e-
mained shut up. Male and female institutions
of learning, whose tutors could bear musKets,
remained closed. The families of poor mni-
tiamen continued to mingle anathemas ana
tears with their borrowed erusts, The markets
presented miserable array Of some thiag %
eat" and the extortioners, out of the service,
continued to swell their profits, and bless the
wisdom OF those ia authority. FithsouIG,
bombarded IN front and rear, cut off from ali
the world, and languishIlg under her seeres
trials, presented no such sepul chral picture
as Richmond does to-day The people have
grown sick OF the wrongs infii ctea upon them
within the brief space OF G few weeks, and pe
sure that they Will treasure them UP.
