Virginia.

The Richmond Republic, of Monday has
an article contrasting the present prospects of
the South with those at the time Of President
Lincon's assassination. We give the conclu-
ding portion Of it:
With few exceptions, the organs of public
sentiment in the Northern States are now ar
rayed on the side of humanity, Of brotherhood,
and peace. Nothing was more natural than
the fierce excitement aroused by the murder
of Mr.. Lincoln; but no sooner was the public
mind of the North disabused of the first i'm
preston that the South had instigated, or
countenanced. or entertained anything but
profound abomination of that dastardly and
Internal deed, than the same dispositions for
reconciliation which were manifested upon the
surrender of General Lee once more revived,
and are every day affording increased demon
stration of the magnanmity and patriotism of
a gallant and generous people. That there
are still ultra and untorgivlng men who would
crush the South under the iron heel, is no
doubt true; but it is our sincere conviction
that the great mass Of the Northern people
have no sympathy with a vindictive and suici
dial policy, and will sustain the Administration
in its wise and noble efforts to consolidate the
hearts of all Americans and make the Repub-
lie the glory of the world. Well may the
South unite with the North in the day of
thanksgiving which the President has pro-
claimed, and pour out its grateful oblations to
Heaven, that, out of the fiery abyss of war,
and out of the very Jaws of death, the Divine
hand has rescued the people.

push it to the surface, died. This, however, as a
general thing has not been the case. A little mode

about seventy-iivc thousand mulattoes, and
the remainder, three hundred and fifteen thou

TRANSPARENT HousEs.-In the vicinity of
Surprise Valley (Nevada), is an extensive
quarry of gypsum, perfectly crystalized, and
as transparent as blocks of ice from the clear
est pond. This block naturally breaks in per,
feet squares, and without cutting can be used
for building purposes. Several houses will
soon be erected of this material, and it is
thought that no windows will be required, as
the blocks of gypsum will admit light. A
building constructed of this material would
certainly present splendid and fairy-like ap-
pearance.
