Since the end of the war all our towns
have been overrun with the negroes
from the surrounding country, who
have imagined that freedom gave them
the right to live in idleness and be
supported by the whites.
This idea was summarily put to
flight few days since by the arrest of
all the idle 'colored men in town, and
their being required to find and pur-
sue some means Of livelihood. This
is a step in the right direction and
Col. Stewart, the Commandant of this
post, deserves credit for it. Unless
they are made 10 labor there must
necessarily be great suffering among
this class during the coming winter.
We trust that they may learn from the
action Of the Military authorities that
they will not be allowed to live idle
and dissolute lives, and may conduct
themselves in such manner as to Sc
cure profit to themselves and retain
the kindly feelings Of their former
owners

PETITION IN Favor OF Col. MosBY.-A
petition, asking that Col. Mosby be placed
upon the same footing with other Confeder-
a.e officers Of mis- rank paroled and allowed
to return to his home-was yesterday placed
10 the hands OF Gen. Gregg. This petition
was addressed to Lieut.. General Grant, and
was numerously signed by the best citizens
Of Linchburg: We earnestly hope that the
request may be granted. II the general
paci6cation we consider it impolitic, as well
as unnecessary, to make invidious distinct
tons. They can only tend to breed doubt
andsdiscontent, and delay the return of the
day of amity and good will.

Organization Of Cities.

The Legislature passed bill yesterday
authorizing tho Governor to proceed in the
same manner with the organization of cities,
corporations and courts Of hustings as was
prescribed in the ordinance attached to the
Constitution for organizing the counties of
this Commonwealth. In accordance with this
enactment, it will be the duty of the Cover
nor to issue his proclamation declaring va
cant all the civil and military Offices in
Richmond and other cities in Virginia -
This proclamation must be accompanied
by writ of election directed to one or more
commissioners not exceeding three. All or
any Of said commissioners may act, and
they are vested with power to do all and
everything that sheriff and county court
have now to do in holding an election for
county officers. according to laws now in
force. "All officers elected under this ordi-
nance shall enter upon their duties immedi-
ately upon election and qualification, and
the fraction of the year between the time Of
his election and!the time at which his office
shall expire shall be counted for. one year"
In few days, we presume the Governor
will issue the proclamation required by this
act, aud by the 4th of July our citizens
may again rejoice in the possession of a
municipal Government. The Governor will
doubtless prescribe the shortest possible le-
gal interval between the date of his writ and
the day of election, so that the semichaotic
stats Of affairs, in our cities-Richmond
especially may continue but short time
longer Candidates should prepare their
cards, and the voters disqualified by partici-
patton in the war against the United States
should forthwith 60 before a notary. and
make the .enfranchising oath if they wish tc
take part in the approaching election.

After considerable delay in deciding up

rather broken and mountainous region
of country, and tho tops of the hills anil
mountains present rather cold and
frigi'l aspect, being covered with hea-
Wy fleece Of snow.
