Sketch of Petersburg.

Petersburg, which was formerly an
exceedingly hansome and iourishing post
town, as we'll rs a port of entry, of Dia-
widdie county, Virginia, is situated on
the right or south bank of the Appumat-
tox river. at the crossing Of the Great
Southern railroad, at distance of TWEEN
ty-two miles south OF Richmond, and
ten miles from James river. at CITY
Point, in latitude 81. i north. longi-
tude II. 20 west. In respect of popu-
lation and commercial advantages, with
facilities for a rapidly increasing busi-
ness, it ranked as the third town in Viz
ginia. The town displays much archi-
tectural taste in the manner in which it
is built, and also possesses several impor-
tant public buildings. 1t contains numer-
Gus churches, III which several denomina-
tons are represented Before the war il
had also number of cotton facto. les.
three banks, two ropewalks, one wooden
factory. 1t had also educational! estab-
ilshments ana newspapers.
There is unlimited water power about
Petersburg, as the ascent of the tide, be-
coming arrested 10y the falls directly above
the town, a1oTdS extensive supply. Some
enterprise has also been manifested by the
construction of a canal around the ialls.
by which boats of light drauaht can
ascend the river for distance of nearly
one hundred miles. The town can be
approached by vessels of one hundred
tons ascending the river, while those OF a
larger size are Obliged to discharge a,

below, where the Southside railroad has
It's eastern terminus, connected by the
AppomattoN railroad with the mouth of

industrial resources from the fact that
from ten thousand to fifteen thousand
hogheads of tobacco were formerly ex-
ported annually.

The City OF Richmond.

Richmond, by the last census, had 2
population of thirty-eight thousand souls
but the great influx of civil and military
officers and refugees from other parts OF
the State has probably raised it TO a
much higher figure. 1t is situated at the
tide water, at the lower falls of James
river, about one hundred and fifty miles
from its month The city occupies a
most picturesque situation, being built on
Richmond and Shockoe hills, which are
separated by Shockoe creek and surround
ed by beautiful scenery. 1t Is regularly
laid ont and well built, the streets. which
are lighted with gas, crossing each other
at right angles.
Shockoe Hill, are the State capitol and
other publick buildings The capitol is
al imposing edifice, and contains in its
Central Hall Houdcn's celebrated statnre
of Washington. On the east of the
square is the Governors mansion. Jeff
Davis residence was private mansion.
which was purchased for him by the
rebel government. The city has many
fine public buildings, six banks, thirteen
newspapers and twenty-three churches.
The falls of James river afford immense
water power, and there are very exren-
sive factories, including four cotton and
about fifty tobacco factories, four mills.

John HlilcIlcl.

The name of John Mitchell is Intimate
ly associated with the Southern rebellion
An lrishman by birth, a man of letters
and lawyer by profession, he came TO
Dublin i'll 1915, being then twenty-nine
years of age, and succeeded the young
and gifted Thomas Davis, who had Just
been consigned to premature grave, as
principal editor Of The Nation, the organ
Of the Young Ireland party The force
and vigor with which he edited that jour
nal made it a power in the land; q NIGH
ty instrument in precipitating the revolu-
ton OF 1918 Ii circulated and was read
i'll every nook and corner of Ireland Its
stirring appeals to the passions of the peo-
pie It's bitter invcctives against Encland's
despotic rule in Ireland and its open, un-
disguised defence of revolution, aroused
the fears Of the British Ministry, and on
more than one occasion, its editor was
denounced on the floor Of Parliament AS
an enemy 10 the peace of the realm.
During his connection with the paper he

charged. Soon after this event, he re-
signed his connection with Tie Nlton.
and III the beginning of 1918, established
THE United IristmoH. The paper soon
became the organ of the Young Ireland
party in opposition to the moral force
policy of Daniel O'Conncll and corcilia-
ton Hall, and enjoyed the unlimited con-
iidence of such men as Smith O'Bnen.

John Martin and others of almost equal
influence and ability. In its editorial
columns, Mitchell displayed signal ability
and sndaunted courage. His pen was as
keen as Damascus blade, cutting with
unerring precision, and its venom always
left sting behind. In May l84S, he was
arrested for treason, convicted and SEN
fenced to fourteen years banishment to
Australia. In a few years he succeeded

the publication of newspaper in that

An Outrage.

A most brutal and cowardly act of
violence, was perpetrated in Lorctto on
last Wednesday evening. The facts as
they have been detailed TO us, are as fol-
lows: On that day, soldier named
WilSey, who was member OF the Pro-
vost Guard at Chest Springs, visited the
town. He and one William Kooniz, a
citizen Of that place determined to have a
Joilitication over the taking of Richmond
Ot course they must have a flag and they
started in pursuit OF one They went to
the residence of Mr.. William Ryan, an
old and respectable resident, whose son,
about sixteen years of age, was standing
IN the yard, in front of his fathers resi-
dence. They stated to him, that he had
flag and that they wanted it. He re-
phed that it was not in his possession
lhey asserted that it was that they had
authority TO arrest him and would take
nm down to Myers tavern. This they
proceeded TO do. They were met on the
street near Litzinger's store, by James
Todd, who insisted that youno RYAN
siiouid De released. Some angry words
passed, when Todd aimed a blow at Will
Sey' VINO struck Todd in the eye, with, as
he says, either a hand b,lly, or the butt end
OF a pistol, inflicting frightful wound.

Carolina, and entering Virginia, approaches
the line of the Roanoke, where il Is said
Lee hasprepared Notifications to meet him
Without considering these, let us ask at
tention to the facility with which Lee could
send force west of the Blue Ridge, by
the Soutbside Railroad, unperceived, and
then marching south along the western base
OF that ridge, pierce the first convenient
gap and fall upon Sherlnan's flank or rear.
There would have been the same danger in
Sherman's Carolina campaign if he had
gone near the mountains, but he carefully
avoided it by giving the mountains vide
berth. After leaving Oolumbis his course
has been nearly parallel with the noun
tains, which had it gone to Charlotte,
would not have been. It is quite possible,
Therefore, that Sherman does not intend to
give Lee an opportunity of fankipg him,
and that after taking Raleigh, he will 90
to Weldon, open communications with the
feet and with Grant, and after resting his
army, start out afresh for g campaign
against Burksville.

The Panic AbntInr
Rrom the New York Post.

NEw YoRK, March 22.-The panic is now
abating, as it is beginning to be generally
understood that there is no foundation for
the absurd rumors industriously put in
circulation, that the Secretary of the
Treasury was about to adopt some of the
expedients for acting on the gold market,
which last year were proved 10 be equally
futile and mischieVous.
Tbe'panic brought on by the violent eff
forts made by adroit spectators to enrich
themselves by putting down the price of
gold while the currency remained as re-
dundant and deprecated as ever, has more
disastrous results than were anticipated,
in checking subscriptions to the seven.
thirty loan, and in procuring decline in
all Descriptions Of government securities

TIE times are rot wholly corrupt, as is
proved by the defeat of the great scheme
recently before the New York Legislature
for increasing the passenger rates on the
Central Railroad from Albany to Buffalo.
That wealthy corporation has been check
ed for once and it's million of dollars bril-
berry fund did not avail them. The New
York Tribune and the Post must, however,
be credited with much that otherwise
might go to the virtue of the members of
the legislature. Those two papers did not
fail to hold up political suicide before the
eyes Of all who should vote for the railroad
scheme.
Daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1859-1865, 1865-03-24

TIE recent decline in gold has the effect
of largely increasing the value of the sup
ply Ofmouey. The present amount of
ereenbacks and outstanding interest notes
exclusive of even.thirties), is about
5000, 100000. Adding to this the curreu-
cy of the National banks and of the State
banks, which may be estimated at about
$3.50, OO0, 900, it would appear that the total
outstanding currency amounts to $780,
600, 900. The decline of gold from $50 to
16O involves an appreciation of this amount
from "A cents on the dollar TO 62 cents on
the dollar; which amounts to an immense
increase in the purchasing power of the
currency and, if continued, must have
the same tendency that large sudden in
crease of specie or bank notes would have
in ordinary times. Fer the present, the
increase is notfelt, inasmuch as prices have
not yet come down to the price of gold
but so soon as that change is realized, we
shall find an entirely new relation between
the supply of money and the exchanges Of
Gn0 SOuuSA9 LHnL 10 Vi SOuAs0b vi bHO Jul
dition that the currency remains at about
it present value. fthere were any conf
dence in trading and financial circles, the
result of such change would be to reduce
the rates of interest and promote extensive
speculation but under the existing and ap
parent prospective condition of things, tht
surplus money will probably simply bt
hoarded
