President johnson is firmly disposed
to believe in Gov. Pierpont and his cause,
and to render him all the assistance be

President to suspend the processes Is
sued, under the eon6seation law, against

tions under the act, in Richmond, are
said to have been to completely suspend
the efforts which were being made to re-
build the burned district, and to have
excited the greatest CONSERVATION among
the property holders, who thought that
they were to be relieved from the liability
to con6scation OF their property.

ing in Southern States relative to evil
dences of undeyeloped wealth presented
on every hand in those States, are con-
stantly received.
The following extract from letter
received at the Land Office from Arkan-
sas, few days ago, is a fair specimen
of confident expressions in this regard;
"The general resources of this State
are enormous-coal, lead, silver, and
gold are all represented literally, and
an abundance of petroleum is undoubt-
ed. Results will soon be developed that
will astonish all Hitherto this wealth
has been hidden under cloud"
