Gentlemen: In response to your circular OF
yesterday, we state that our experience has been,
that from the day Of the PRONUNCIATION OF the late
Proclamation of President Johnson-the dePres-
sing effects amounting AGost TO paralysis on
q e very limited business Of the city, as well as
the country, became painfully apparent more 30
In the case Of the working men and women tnan
those falling under the operation ofthe thirteenth
exception OF the Proclamation; these having some
means of present support, those being dependent
for daily bread on daily work, which they look to
the former 10 furnish
Up to that period, applications from gentlemen
of the North to purchase lands, lots and tene'
ments were numerous and earnest and welt
grounded hopes were entertained OF being able TO
negotiate loans on the property OF our citizens, to
enable them 70 rebuild, to commence business,
and for other useful and, for our prosperity, in
disDeusab!e purposes; but since that period those
who had purpassd to buy, and those who had
raised our hopes of loans, have alike declined
telling us that the question OF coniscation must
be settled before they csn either buy or Lend
Had we succeeded In obtaining the loans We then
had application for, where one workman is now
employed there would have been at least twenty.
This additional labor, and. indeed, much more, Is
here anxious for employment.
Our banking business Is as seriously affected as
that of real estate. Holders OF gold and Other
yaluables only convert Into currency as pressing
needs for subsistence require.
We were authorized by capitalist, more bod
than the rest, to negotiate with farmers to cnl.I-
vate on shares, In the aggregate five thousand TO
ten thousand aeles Of land, at cost TO- him OF
from 100000 to 100000, in mules, implements,
&C., to be paid for by the farmers in twelve
months, but not one has been found VINO was
williog TO enter into any arrangement which
would require him to bind himself to pay money,
when the only means Of procuring il night at
any moment be taken from him: Had we met
with success, very large number Of persons
would have found employment and an addition
of at least 100000 made to the wealth OF the
State.
Hoping you may succeed in SO laudable an I'M
dertaking, the effect of which would raise our
city from it, ashes and restore prosperity to our
