Tn True Philosophy.

10 returning to the civil pursuits from
which the largest portion Of our producing
population has been 50 long withdrawn, it is
na,ure. aad proper bIt they should look
around them 70 see and know all the sur
rourdiugs by which they are 10 be influenced.
Hundreds, nay thousands, return to wasted
fields and desolAted homes. To others the
workshop is no; found and the stOre-house
sud counting ION have disappeared.
Whilst the sad election cannot be repressed
that untold millions Of wealth have been
lost, aud that bright Anticipations Of future
prosperity have been crushed, the true phil
osopay Of the hour is to look forward with
hope aud confidence.
We believe that there is in the country,
Impoverished and desolated as it is, recu-
perati,e powers and energies which only re-
guire for their development the determine
non on the part OF the people TO re-enter
upon the career Of prosperity from which
they were so suddenly withdrawn. Time,
patience, endurance, and fortitude, are OF
course, important elements in the process OF
restoration, but it should be remembered
thai those who grapple with misfortune are
lar more contented than the unfortunately
constituted, who refuse TO be Disconnected
BY obstacles, and are more likely to succeed in
the race that is 10 be run, than those who
modify contemplate their losses, and revert
continually 70 the times that are past. We
commend the wiser philosophy TO our read
ers.
We DO not anticipate a rapid restoration
OF general prosperity. The improvement
viii be gradual. Any other rate of pro-
gress might get Us of the track, and de-
range our calculations. Let the people
calmly survey the prospect, and, discarding
unmAnly doubts and fears, take hold of all
their interests and direct their energies
with the best judgment that can be sum
moned 70 aic or guide them in the great task
Of regenerItin Virginia.

Repairs 70 the lines OF communication IN
the State are progressing as rapidly As the
limited means Of the various companies will
admit, aud, in cases where the Government
has felt itself authorized to render assist
ance, more vigorous prosecution Of the
work has, of course, been The result. In a
short time the country, though nearly ex-
hausted Of staple commodities at present,
viii be enabled to send forward something
that wil! remind Us of the former halcyon days
of peace, and contribute not only to the re-
wal Of business, bus in no small degree to
the enliveoment OF the mercantile commu-
ulty Of Richmond, many Of whom have,
with Characteristic energy, placed them
selves in a position TO fall in with the cur
rent Of business, whether it results in scan
" profits or large rewards.
Priva;ious aud the hArdshiPs resulting from
a long war have taught our people lessons
If economy, aud convinced them that they
can subs1t on much less than they were &C
customed 10 in the days Of peace and plenty.
They will now profit by the lessons obtained
10 the severe school of adversely, and with
the return Of quiet will not forget that 1t is
good policy TO heed and observe the instrue-
ton obtained At such cost. 1t is true the
breadth Of land SoEn IA wheat the past fall
vas greatly less than the average Of former
wears, but on every hand We learn that the
aelds give promise of luIuriant yield
Harvest is near at hand, and by the time the
crops are ready for market the facilities for
transportation will have been completed, OF
nearly So We presume that the farmers
will generally send in their surplus at once,
in order that they may realize the means TO
purchase needed supplies. Nearly every
farmer in the State will have use for cur
rencv, and those wac do not should remem-
Der their less fortunate neighbOrs, and do
what lies in their power TO relieve their pc
cuuiary endorsements, as it cannot be ex-
pected that the banking institutions will
nave the capital or possess the ability to &C
eommodate At once all the branches Of trade
and domestic enterprise. The village and
couatry stores are necessary adjuncts othe
various communities in the interior, and 1t
. incumbent upon all who can do so to LEND
= helping hand TO such interests. Mechanics
and artjzAns Will not be able 10 resume their
yocatio1s again in all cases, unless aid in this
way IS given, for there are but few, If any,
OF this class Who have been able to reserve
throughout the war the small boards Of sPe-
Gle y. ich they may have laid aside a the
commence ment OF our troubles.

ont that II Is to Colonel Wells, probably more

ing the mystery OF the assassination that we
are in ebted for brin ding the offenders to trial

1he shadow deepens as to OLaughlin, and
the additional testimony TO-DAY by Majors Knox
and Halter, showing the preselce Of ace ed at
Mr.. Stantons house on the night of the 18th OF
April, under suspicious circumstances exercised
0'Laughlin painfully. His facial demonstIa'
ii ms 1 ( mental suffering and misery during the
rendering of this evidence, were generally re-
marked. The prisoner is much changed to-day.
He came into the room this morning looking
very pae and detected.
NO HOPE FOR THE PRISONERS.
A Washington telegram, dated Wednesday,
slys:
The evidence Of the guilt of the prisoners APP
pears conclusive. 1t has completely checked the
current OF sympath that was setting in their
favor in consequence Of the secret trial.
II is said that the prisoners have been warned
by their counsel TO abandon all hop. They ap'
pear utterly broken down. Mrs. Surratt has lost
all her confidence. She sits closely yelled in
court, and seems deeply agitated at times. She
il so weak from excess Of emotion that she is
obliged to be partially supported to and fro n the
court.
Reverdy Johnson takes but little part in the
trial. He is prep lring and elaborate argument
cha llengilg the jurisdiction Of the court.

SEIZURE OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF LIQUOR.
On Wednesday evening, upon the arrival
Of the Northern steamer at Rockets wharf,
the provost guard, acting under orders from
headquarters, made descent upon a num-
her of packages landed from the steamer, it
being understood that certain parties were
engaged in the unlawful but lucrative prac-
tice of smuggling liquor into the city in vio-
lation Of the order promulgated on the sub
ject by General Dent, the Military Govern
or. Trunks, bandboxeS, baskets and bags
were overhauled, and many gallons of good
excellent whisky, French brandy and rum
brought to light, packed away in bottles,
demijohns and kegs. OF course it was seized,
and along with it good many ofthe smugglers
were also seized and sent to prison, to await
an examination. Others, more discreet and
less noisy, getting wind of the search and
seizure, ran away without claiming their
contraband goods. All of the smugglers
were Germans or Irish.

THE Markets, Wednesday and yesterday,
exhibited greater fullness than at any time
since the first week of April. Meats, vege-
tables, fish, and fruits, were in abundance
Meats-beef, veal, mutton-retained their
old standard of 25 cents, but fish showed a
decline, sturgeon "opening at 10, and closing
at cents" per pound, to quote the New
York specie market.
Wagons appeared in the First MARI ct, for
the first time, from sections of Hanover,
Goochland and Henrico, and all country pro.
ducts showed, or gave symptoms of decline.
Strawberries, cherries, were plentiful and
cheap. Both fruits have ceased to be a lux
ury, and are now we'll nigh drug. The old
principle of going to market with basket
wherein to carry the money, and pocket
book wherein to carry home the meat, is re-
versed the basket is again used for the
meat, and the pocket-book for the money
We welcome back the flowing cornucopia,
and the new era of peace, and plenty, and
the absence of impress agents.

THAT Bio BLACK Doc AGAIs.-We an.
rounced, some days since, that Hero, the
famous Russian bloodhound, that did the
duty of sleepless sentinel at Castle Thnn-
der post, had evacuated with the Confede
rate Government and struck the Trans Mis-
sissipp trail. From personal dog para.
graph in Northern paper, we perceive that
Hero has arrived in the vicinity Of Washing
ton, and was quite q hero indeed. Mr..
Mum, sutler Of the l4Oth New York reei.
ment, captured him in Richmond, and sent
him North, a prisoner of war.
Hero is q dog about seven feet in length
from tip TO top, weighing nearly two hun.
dred pounds. He is splendid cross be-
tween Russian bloodhound and bulldog.
and combines the faithfulness Of the one
with the ferocity of the other. We have
seen him seize little dogs that came around
his heels, shake them and cast them twenty
feet from him. The stoutest man he would
bring to the ground by one grippe on the
throat, and it was always a difficult matter to
get him of If he had once tasted or smelled
blood.
His dogship belonged originally to Joseph
Mayo, late Mayor, and by him was loaned to
Capt. G. W. Alexander, at one lime Com
mandant of the Castle post.
Hero too, had q theatrical turn, and used
to perform dogs part in the play of the
"Virgihia Cavalier" at the New Theatre.
Abandoning the stage, Hero returned to his
post as sentinel at the Castle, and remained
through the successive reigns of the several
commandants up to the evening of Monday,
April 3, 1865.
Hero was 'rebep' dog during all the days
of the rebellion, but we learn he has taken
fancy to his captors, and is trying to be q
good, loyal, Union dog.
Hero in Richmond, was an official, stern
looking dog, and he was as we'll known rs any
OF the grabbed officials themselves, and was
respected accordingly. His old acquaint-
ances will be glad to hear that his dogship
has the prospect of an engagement for ex-
hibition. Some menagarie, or Barnum will
get him.

TEE HOLIDAY SEASON PAsr.-We noticed
yesterday the commendable activity of a
mounted guard, who perambulated the
streets, molesting the blissful security of
every neglo who was found summing himself
on the street corner. or idling upon
the highway. All who could not show that
they were engaged in legitimate employ
ment were marched off to point where they
could be made generally useful.
The indolent OF the colored class who ex
pected a holiday from henceforth, now and
forever, will be wofully disappointed when
they find themselves hard at work in the
burnt district, or plying broom on the dry
streets of Richmond. The Scriptural max =.
im, that every laborer is worthy of his hire,
is recognized, but the accompanying pro-
viso, that to receive hire one must also
work, is also universally accepted.

The New 7 TREE Cent PIECES have Just
made their appear ance from the United
States Mint, and, as we hope to come in for
pocketful of them now and then, We ap-
pend the description Of the coin. They ere

that they will not tarnish. 1t is Of the size
of dime, and has on one side the head of
the Goddess Of Liberty surrounded by the
words, Omitted States of America, 1885,"
on the revers. the mineral letters, "III,'
surrounded by wreath. Uncle Sam, shove
some of them along this way.

The MOUNTED PRovOsT GUARD is an i'm
provement in the police discipline Of Rich.
mond. They perambulate the streets On
horseback, with sabres drawn, and take the
place of the infantry patrol. Their peculiar
mission is to check lawlessness, keep the
streets unobstructed, prevent the negroes
from monopolizlng the street corners, and
check fast riding and driving through the
streets. This part of their duty we can
assert the guard have well attended to,
as the police reports of the press rigidly
attest. There is one or two localities to
which we would call the attention of the
guard, where the art of fast and furious
riding is practiced in the most reckless
manner possible. These courses are To-
Gated ON 9Th and 4th and other streets
beyond Marshall. Several children have
been run down By these furious racers,
who seem to regard a heailong gallop as the
only gait in which horseman should suffer
his steed to GO.
