EFFE6r oF PEACE on LOUISVILLE The
Louisville Journal remarks Asi
We are highly grati6ed to, notice the
great results that peace has brought about.
Our city has once more assumed the air Of a
aourishing and promising place. We see
Improvements going ahead everywhere.
Repairing and altering old buildings is be-
ing carried on quite extensively, aud great
many new and beautiful houses are in pro.
cess Of construction.
We have very little doubt as to the fu-
ture of Louisville. We believe that she
will improve more in the next two years
than she has in any ten previous. Many Of
our citizens have been waiting for the war
to terminate before they Invested their capi-
tai In buildings, and now, since peace has
smiled upon US, they are making all necessa-
~ arrangements to- push forward vigorously
he great work of improvement.

The very want of deliberatiop, and, aswe
honestly believe, lack Of statesmanlike abili'

has preserved them against such careless
blunders as occurred in Tennessee, where so
grave matter as the elective franchise was
omitted wholly from the constitution and
committed to the determination Of the Leg g
islatare. The haste with which they acted,
and d sensible distrust Of their own ability,
resulted in the highest wisdom, The easiest
thing done was exactly the very best that
could be. They took the old constitution,
cut out the slavery clauses, aud made some
amendments which experience had shown to
be necessary. This they presented to the
people, and this We have now before US as

er the exigences Of a Government or

Ys, For four years past our North
ern brethrenD have been engaged in
the somewhat laborious work Of
whipping the South into the Union.
We should not be at all surprised if
they occupy the next four years in. IN q an
attempt to whip us out The signs
now point unmistakably in that direc-
tion, if the tone and language Of some,
ofthe Northern press, and the conduct
Of some Of their leading men, furnish
any criterion for a correct opinion.
Surely every Northern man who.
has one drop of the milk of human
kindness in his bosom, is already sa-
tiated with the wholesale destruction
Of property and life Of the people Of
the South. War carries with it the
punishment of the vanquishedj /; and
after it Is over, whatever is further
done blythe victorious party, to in
flict pain or suffering on those whom
they have overcome, is dictated only
by mean and pusillanimous spirit Of
revenge. This is clearly exemplifed
at the present time. The brave and
gallant officers and men of the North
ern army, 50 soon as toe war was
over, ''buried the hatchet,D and are
willing to renew friendship with the.
Southern people without further mo-
lestation to them, or the infiction Of
additional pain. 1t is only a few
civilians at the North who "snuffed
the scent Of a battle from afar,n who
now, that the war is over, and the
Southern people lpowerless for resis-
tance, seek to wreak their vengeance
upon the defenceles. Verify, where
the lion ceases to prey, the wolf
prowls most ferociously. While the
brave and ma gnanimous have already
buried the hatchet, the cowardly and
pusillanimous are in favor Of direct
ing the keen edge Of the axe towards
hundreds Of thousands Of those whom
they dared not assist to overcome. -.

The New York Herald has published an in
trrcsting account of the commercial activity
10y which the opening of the fall season in
'n't city has been thus far marked. 1t seems
TO be wholly without precedent. Contra,
tothe fears and expectations Of very mSay
pcr s6us, orr merchants are seiliug goods OF
40 kinds in quantities aud values far bcyond
those oflny Other eason. It was universal
~ ut !erstood, of course, that as the South
hai been sv pit bals Of everything conducive
10 comfort, md had been for four years ex-
c.uaea from markets Of all kinds, they would
-1ecd tnrse Quantities of goods in every de-
rartmsnt TO supply ihelr immediate %necessi-
,rs. Bat i. was also assumed that they had
Ha money, aud thai as immense quantities of
their cotton had been burned or otherwise
,te1 idri 2 the war, they would have no
means of pa.iag for goods to any considera-
be extelt.
But this proves to have been a great mis-
take. Southern merchants and traders are
here in great numbers, and they come pre-
rared, not only to make new purchases of
goods. and ray for them, but. also to pay
largely on their debts CONTRACTED BEFORE
rHr WAR 1t was supposed that if they
should ever make their appearance 10 our
markets again it would be to beg off from old
Indebtedness but, on the contrary, they
come, cash IN hand, to pay their old debts
and unrn new accouats. New Orleans, Sa-
sa.nar and Mobile are reported as likely to
r.5 scselty FIVE cents on the dollar of their
IA obligations. Charleston forty, &c. The
t.,t M this is lone proves conclusiyeI,
that. "a spite OF the rigid measures taken by
tie rebel government to drag all the resoure-
e. Of the people into the war, they were only
~ra-ti,l,y successful, ami that large amounts
of cola were boarded aud kept for future
contingencies. As a natural consequence of
tbs pGymeat Of old debts. Soutberuers in our
market have no diniculty in obtaining all
reasonable facilities for the renewal of their
business. Most of the new purchases, how
ever, rTe for cash.
