THE WOMEN OF RICHMOND.

A correspondent, writing from Rich
mond three days after its occupation bv
the Union forces, tells the following
story
Around the corner Of a square opposite
the Capitol there suddenly burst, at noon
yesterday, brilliant cayalcade of North
ern officers and ladies. The dust from
their horses hoofs surge6 to the sidewalks.
ana INTO the faces of group Of the daugh-
ters OF Rlchmond who were returning
from church. The eyes of the female rid
ers' agiow with excitement and pleasure,
| were hrst lifted toward the statue of
Washington, Immediately in front, then
fell with curious look, mingled of irony
and wonder, upon the ladies of tho side
walks; In the gaze that returned the
look flashed that keenness OF the varied
llgatnings of woman's eye-a ouvering
scorn. One of the e9ueStricnnes could not
have observed it. Refining her horse up
to the curb, with an expression of girlish
ardor and delight, she bent asuuny face,
crowned with golden hair, above the as
ionshed group of southerners, and, sing
ling out one naughty figure from the rest,
said eagerly:
'l beg pardon, but is it not true that
l rec ognihe friend. Can it be that this
is really Z"
You are Mistaken" the Southerner
responded, with the same fixed gate, Il
have no friends where you abide"
Lifting her dress at the curb, the wo-
man passed on with just the slightest bow
that was not in the sli ghtest degree re-
turned
Yet, let us fairly judge them, for there
IS something appealing in their sorrow
hnmliated as they are, who in their
beauty and their loftness of spirit have
been cupbearers Of hope 10 the rebellion,
what have they to sustain them save their
prideY Here where all is over and done
to our content, we can afford not only to
pity, but to admire them.
