The resolution offered by Mr.. HrRsT, of Nor
folk, with regard to the assumed appointment
of General BUTLER to the command in Nir-
ginia, will, of course, be seized upon by certain
Northern journals and perverted into proof
of continued disaffection on the part of the
Southern people We deem it proper, there
FORE TO state that MI Hurst was Il Union
man throughout the war, and remained in
Norfolk daring its occupation by the Federal
army. He was in no sort "rebel'' but a
staunch loyal man. We hope, therefore, this
sin will not be placed to the account Of the re-
bells. These latter have already quite rs many
OF their own us they can bear. They have no
fancy for bearing those of the party which OPP
posed them, and did all they could to destroy
them They fought General BUTLER during
the war in the field: they wish no war with
him individually in time of peace. This is a
family quarrel, with which they have nothing
to do.

81 In his In t. report Of the military events OF
the last year of the war, General GRANT sets
forth his estimate OF the relative warlike capa-
cities Of the soldiers from the eastern and west
ern sections Of the country. Having seen Doth
Of them fighting battles, lac gives it rs the re-
suit OF his observation that there is no differ
ence in their fighting qualities, while, else
where In the same paragraph, he gives Inc
South credit for the most herculean deeds Oh
yalor on the field of battle. The judgment OF
General GRANT in this matter will no donbt De
confirmed by the people Of all parts OF the
United States. f+
1t is strange that any opinion should
ever have been entertained in, any sectioh
IT the United States derogatory TO the
vaior of any part of its people. The original
settlers Of all the States were mostly from tne
SAINT, English Stock and the emigration which
has since so largely blended with the popnla-
ton was supplied by some of the most warl'kc
nations Of Europe. The colonial and revolu-
tionary battles ought to have demonstrated
The fact that, while chivalry was to some extent
peculiar 10 the South, courage IS peculiar 10
no section, and the last war with England and
the Mexican war furnished still moro striking
and abundant illustrations of the same truth
But it was never brought home TO the conyic-
tons of the American people till the mighty
struggle in which North and South grappled
with each other, and each tested for itself the
mcttle of its adversary. Henceforth, whatever
else the two sections may think of one another,
ncithar will question that pluck and manhood
are the common attributes Of both.
We have never heard Of any nation which
could be justly described Us a nation of cow

Overwhelmed at first with amazement and

When people will insist on comparing Rich
mond to the Phoenix simply because 1t is
rising from its ashes, they do very tanciltti
and very absurd thing. Tho similitude is
ylitering generality and pompous platitude
There is nothing conceivable more unreal than
the bird Phoenix, and nothing moro real than
Richmond. So substantial is il, that that
other bird, the American Eagle, had to sharpen
both beak and talons, and then tug for four
long years to get it.
But, even granting the existence of that
myth Of archaeological hOcus pocus, the paral
lei would fail in every particular. Richmond
was shot at by all kinds Of firearms. Did any
one ever go out Phoenix shooting? Who ever
heard of n Phoenix being starved for four
years, or being found during one of his tempo
rary dea tbs with nothing but black-eye peas In
his gizzard Who could conceive Of the ashes
from which a Phoenix Is TO spring being
plas all over with advertisements Of quack
medicines? And, lastly, will the most bisoted
believer in that highly Objectionable fowl pre-
. tend to assert that the Phoenix rose from Its
ashes handsomer bird than before!
But this Richmond is doing. All along
Main and Cary streets, houses are going up
with an energy never before seen In 4 recon-
structed people. Stately structures of stone,
iron and brick are Fastening toward compile
..tion on the places where small and shabby
houses stood before the fire. In fact, the
burnt district (where the city blaZed up like
an expiring candle, and fell into 4 socket Of
black walls) is rapidly disappearing; or,
RI thcr will soon be marked only by the new
ness and beauty Of that part of the town.
): But if any one, after this will continue firm
in the belief OF that tabled creature, let him
but try to revive the ashes Of 4 burnt-Out
newspaper. Then will gloomy doubt fasten
upon his soul. When he secs the once elo-
,uuent types mere Jumps of lead the broken
Iimbed presses silent forever; the ashes, even,
cof his editorial chair lost in the wreck Of
things less sacred-when he sees all this, and
J sees no symptoms of rising on their part, he
acquires SO profound a disgust for ash of all
kinds that the very name of Phoenix becomes
loathsome to him.
So lie. the classical gentlemen who serve us
UP cold Phoenix every time we pass through
the burnt district spare our feelings. No more
Phoenix, we beg.

SAFETY PocKErs.-We recently heard
of very simple, and we are inclined to
believe, effectual method of reudsripR
almost any pocket safe against tho insin.
uating process Of the light.6oeered fra.
seroity. 1t is simply to surround tho
opening into tho pocket with piece Of
rubber braid, 80 ~ to contract the spsr.
ture that the pocket. book, watch or other
article cannot be taken out without the
use Of both hsnds snd some considerable
pressure and assistance by ono hsod 90
the outside. Any degree Of tension cso
be secured by the rubber braid sud tho
opening Of tho pocket reduced to sny dc.
gree desired. The ends Of the braid
should be we'll fastened together, and it
should be we'll tackled or sewed to tho
pocket, to keep it to its plsce. It will
be seen At once that this simple contriv.
ance will prevent things from slipping
from the pocket while riding in the cars,
from change Of position or other cause
We think also it will be found "burglsr.
proof" which is . matter Of the 6rst
consideration. At any rate W commend
the plan as worth trial.

carried on at a factory in the State Of

cerned, for in the solid form tho milk

condensation is effected by placing the
milk in pals in q watcrbath heated to
one hundred and ninety or ono hundred
and ninety Eve derees then pouring il
into "steam well," 10 which it is boil.
ed, then lifting it into tho condenser,
where it is again boiled, but in vscue,

remains; then follows . 6usl process, OF

dischsrging a fetid, sickeDine odor from
tho milk. 1t 10 then ready for cutting
up and packing, aud is sold 1t thirty.

that, although only four quarts are con.
densed to one, when pure water is added
to reduce the article again to liquid milk,
it is invariably found that it requires
four quarts of water, and that the milk
is better thar pure milk a. drawn from
