RICHMOND PAPERS ON BLAIR.
The Richmond Examiner is very severe
upon the rebel Government for allowing
Mr.. Blair to enter Richmond. It says to
admit Grants Chief of Staff and Chief
Engineer to make pictures and drawings
Of al our Notifications, and to take an in
ventory Of the arms and ammunition in
our armies, would not be altogether 30
perverse piece Of folly as the admittanee
of these political engineers among our
people and our public men. But besides
the positive danger Of injury and corrup-
tion, it ought to be g sufficient reason
against such proceedings that it is accept
ing an inferior position to that assumed
and maintained by the enemy's Govern
ment. They give no permission to Con-
federate citizens, whether they are author
lied by our Government or not, to 60 to
Washington and enter into communion
with the people and statesmen f; that the
main object Of the enemy, in sending such old
men as Blair, next togaining some author
tive information, is to produce a racella-
tion of purpose among our people.
i. The MiIlsdgeville Union publishes an
elaborate defense of Governor Brown. In
regard to the charge that Governor Brown
attended to saving his own property, it
says: His salary is not sufficient to pay for
the single item Of corn used by his family.
It was therefore, his duty to care for him
self as much as possible.
It says that very little of the State
property wss lost.
