Items from Richmond Papers.

WASHINGTON, March IL.
The Richmond Examiner of the 9th saws all
remains quiet along the lines of Grant. For
the last week everything has been wind bound,
and rain fell almost necessarily yesterday,
which servedto make matters decidedly worse.
1t is not probable that Grant will attempt any
movements until change in the weather. 1t
is reported that Suffolk has again been occu-
pied by the Federals, with a force of about
1900 cavalry and a regiment of negroes. 3
They were at one time under marching or
ders, but it is not known what direction they
will take. is surnsed that raid may be
intended ia the direction of the Weldon rail-
road. 4@
Both Houses of Congress agreed yesterday
to adjourn Saturday. 3A'a1
The only important bill now pending is the
one putting negroes in the army which pas
sed the Senate by one majority. The bill was
slightly amended in the Senate and has to 90
back TO the House for concurrence. 1t is
supposed that the bill will will pass the House
without difficulty.

Ritter on our Relations of the Continent
In little volume entitled "Comparatise

the influence which the relative situation O.
the continents has exerted upon the laws
oil population and the history OF progress
We condense few thoughts for the benefit OF
the Press readers.
Asia was known as the Orient, or, in Ger
man phrase, the Morning land; Europe and
the northern rim Of Africa, as the Occident,
In German, the EVening-land. On the south
lay the torrid regions of the Ethiopisns, in
the chill north the country of the ! y perbo-
reans. This four-fold division of the earth
was for centuries the only one known, that in
TO continents being made first by the Phoui
clans. great principle lay in this rude and
primitive division; it was in harmony with
nature, and up to later times, in harmony with
history also. With Asia, the Orient, is CON
nected the developemento of the ancient word !:
with Europe that of the modern. The con-
Tast between the two is analogous to that OF
morning and evening. All the culture of the
west had its beginnings in tho East. The

The physical contrast to this region WAS

itv. a indeed deplorable; but as so much has
been written on this subject, I will not shock
the sensibililies OF your readers by giving ex-
amples of cruelty almost too Hendish for be-
lief. Many of the rebel prisoners refuse the
privilege Of an exchange, and prefer taking
the oath of allegiance to the United States
government rather than return to their COM
radesin arms.
Deserters from the rebel armies continue to
come into our lines by scores, and all tell
about the same story of Confederate exnaos-
ton. These scamps are not always to be
credited, however, and may usually be
classed with certain Intelligent contrabands,"
who, for the past four years have been fur
nishing intelligence, reliable and otherwise.
II is quite evident that the rebel authorities
military, civil and uncivil-are at "their Wits
end" and scarcely know which way to turn
for relief The arming of the negroes-their
last and desperate resort-will avail them
nothing. Their doom is fixed, and rapidly ap-
preaching. So mote it be.
Investigations as to the management of af-
fairs in this department under the recent
regime, have been in progress for a few weeks
past; but we have nothing authoritative at
present to communicate respecting results
There is considerable futtering among those
speculatively inclined, and il ''indiscretions"
have been practiced in the past, they will be
vigantly guarded against in the future.
We have no reliable news from Gen. Sher-
man later than his occupation of Columbia;
but there cansbe no doubt that he still goes
marching along" to new triumphs and victo-
ries. He has successfully perforated the shell
Of rebellion, and is bound to give it a thor
ough clearing cut. Cooperative movements
are in progress, and before you receive this

gence from the Carolinas eminently satisfac-
tory. s. H. 81 f.ss m
Sales of confscated lands, &C., in this vi
entity, have recently been made on an extern
siye scale; but unless one is fully posted with
reference to claims, titles, &C., he had better
keep aloof from venturiHg heauy investments.
Perplexing litigations must inevitably arise,
and deeds of trust and claims of '.loyal" heirs
may render titles in certain cases extremely
questionable. f,tsesl.a frfs sa
An infusion Of Yankee enterprise in this

manner surprising to the remnantof F. F. VS.
