AFFAIRS IN VIRGINIA.
NV YORK, August IS.
The Tribune's Richmond special says that
the disposition of the authorities to peremp-
torily refuse qualifying any and every Off
csr chosen in the recent county elections,
cutting out those who may have been con-
aected with the rebel general or State gov
ernment is working wholesome results
throughout the whole State. Richmond
has been made an example, which will ulti-
mately prove 70 have been wise one in
every instance. So far as heard from, the
Confederacy repudiatiOnists have been sue
cessful- In MeckInburg, Halifax and Spott-
sylvanis counties, they have been success
full.
OF our prisoners North, large per cent
age from Virginia is psroled, having be-
longed to this section. They have taken
the ground thst to provide for the payment
of any debts created in the State by the
Confederate authorities is at direct variance
with the spirit of their parole and the gem
eral amnesty. Hence not man has been
elected to office who hitherto has been
politician.
The wheat crop will be heavy one, but
corn and oats promise to be the largest ever
known. Here aud there is met planter
who accepts the sudden shift OF labor, and
has made fair promises, fulfilled his agree
ments and is resping a larger harvest than
they ever dreamed that the soil could pro-
ducs. The spirit of animosity towards the
negro is not SO bitter with the large land
holders as among what is denominated
the "poor whites"
On the Peninsula it is estimated that there |
are 10000 negroes, representatives of every
Southern State, eOngregated there by fol-
lowing the armies and crossing the lines. |
They have supported themselves chiefly by |
living in the little log huts left by our SOL |
diers, but this winter, unless great efforts |
are made, the suffering among them will be |
immense. The Freedmen's Bureau is doing |
all in its power for this people, but the at |
tentiOn of some of our great charities should
be devoted to this locality.
The harmonious results of the late cleo
tion have satisfied General Terry that the
number of troops required in this depart
ment is only sufficient to prevent va
grsncy and maintain official rule.
BROKEN UP.
