rns Railroad Determinations against
Richmond and Virginia Meeting To-
Night r !,
the monstrpus impositions Of railroads
and their agents, (as they arc infeffect,,
the express companies, upon Virginia and
upon this city, should arouse public sen'''
ment everywhere. The meeting to-nign''
tits to be hoped, will develop them '"''s
and draw forth something from raiifoaa
men upon the subject either In defence Oh

direct. If Virginia had In prea"o'e 10
hsr r,ilrosd projects declared it to DC her
oh;.c. 70 destroy her cities, these agents
msn.s,nr the roads she has built have
mlly and faithfully endeavored to carry
out her object.
In the disc ussion which now agitatcs the
,ub|;c mind - 10 the consolidation Of the
sou,hside railroads we should bear in
mind that there are many questions and
many motives involved. And it is the duty
of Richmond to look at all sides, and pro-
tect herself, ifpossible, from the more than
one interest which are arrsyed against her
and threaten to destroy her entire trade
and reduce her to that state Of poverty
that II were better that she never had been
rebuilt, and that she had been left legacy
to the Freedmen's Bureau. 1t is not pos
sible that she can prosper, that she can
maintain respectable existence as COM
mercial city, under the present arrange,
ment Of railroad determinations and regu-
lations. It should be remembered that
these determinations are not only on the
southside railroads, but that they also exist
on the Orange and Alexandria railroad.
That road deliberately arranged to deprive
Richmond of all chance for the wheat OF
the Piedmont region, which had for so
many wears came to this city. 1t refused
20 send its cars loaded to Richmond by the
Central railroad, although that road offer
ed TO make an arrangement for that pur-
nose with il. Under the regulations that
the Orange and Alexandria road did make,
we understand that it cost the farmer
within twenty miles of Gordonsville as
much to convey his wheat to that place as
1t did to send it to Alexandria, and that it
cost more to bring it to Richmond than it
did to take it to Baltimore.
We give this morning some statistics,
which have been collatcd by the Enquirer,
which will astonish many of our citizens.

Mr.. ThOs. Settle

1t seems by an article which may be found in
another part of this paper, which appeared in the
Raleigh Sentinel of the 9TH inst, that Mr. Settle,
late speaker of the Senate, after resgnng his po-
slon as speaker, in consequence of his election as
Solicitor of his District, took his seat upon the
floor of the Senate, as senator from Rockingham,
and entered into the contest for the election OF
his successor as speaker. We do not know, or do
we care how Mr.. Settle voted in that election, but
it appears to us that his conduct was indecorous
IN the extreme, not to question it's legality. But
IN this we are not surprised. For during this ses
sion of the Legislature Mr.. Settle has strongly
reminded lis of Oliver Twist, asking for more.
In the first place he was elected Speaker. then
Solicitor, and it was understood that he would &C.
cept seat in the U. g. Senate, or position upon
the Superior Court bench. How insatiate. The
horse leach could not exceed it.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1866-03-15

soN.-In the British Parliament, in the course OF
the debate upon the Queens speech, the Earl OF
Derby said:
We all must concur in rejoicing that, after years
of bloody warfare, sanguinary war has been pnt
an end to in the now reunited States of Amencu.
I fully concur with the speech in commencing the
wise and prudent manner in which, after the war
has terminated the President has sought to re
pair the ravages OF civil war. Hear hear. lie
seems to seek the best means of restoring the tran
guilty of the country, and cannot refrain from
hoping that his efforts will be crowned with sue
cess The diminution of the slave trade and the
abolition of slavery must always be subjects of
congratllation, but l fear that the abolition of
slavery in America has entailed much misery on
the slaves themselves, and that they are but very
imperfectly prepared to undertake the duties and
responsibilities of freedom.

his adversary through the head, killing him in

suited IN the death Of one and the unhappiness of

this unfortunate affair, would have been one con-

SemOaes. Release.

We are happy to see the statement made by the
New York World of the release of Commander
Semmes late of the Alabama, We trust it may
prove entirely true
The announcemen' of his liberation is thus set
forth by the World:
president johnson has done just and polite
act In releasing Semmes, the late commander of
the Alabama, from arrest. He admitted to
parole upon the surrender of Johnston s army and
until he violated it, our government is bound not
to modest him. The national honor was vindica-
ted when the Kearsage sunk the Alabama, and it
would be pitiful business to punish foe we had
overcome in an open contest. Why not let by
cones be by-gones %

Poverty.


1t has been said that poverty is never of equal
dignity in the contrast with wealth and DIR.
Johnson remarked that poor man could not be
q gentleman, and scarcely honest.
Whatever truth there may be in these 'dicta, -
in their application to more favored regions and
more prosperous nations they are undoubtedly
false regards the South at present. Wealth SO
far from determining the moral Status of a man
here, exposes to suspicion, if it be not badge of
disgrace.
With us poverty, now, is general, if not univer-
sal. With us poverty is respectable, for all our
people feel and know that &c the true test of pa
triot is that his fortunes grow with the growing
fortunes, and decline with the declining fortunes
of his country
Multitudes of our purest and best are so reduced
in circumstances by the late war, that did not
pride forbid, they might cry ssDa odoseus Bell
Sario'
The costly mansion, the luxurious equipage and
sumptuous apparel are not here the s'criteria' of
merit rags if they cover a true and loyal body,
constitute robe of dignity The man who has
done his duty fearessly can confidently look his
neighbor in the face, for the latter knows that
he who has done his duty in period of severest
TRIAL, will henceforth in every contingency prove
q good man and worthy citizen.
Whatever may be his privations, whatever his
daily vexations, sustained by soul free from self
reproach, the genuine Southern man. equal to all
fortunes, may sereney face the storm of adversely
proudly exclaiming ''nae viytute incolco'
