SUPPRESSION or RICHMOND PAPER.
The Richmond Examiner has been sup
pressed by order of Gen. Terry, in COM
mand there. Gen. Grant, who approves
the order says that all such papers
ought to be suppressed in the South, be-
cause they stir up and keep alive bitter
ness of feeling there while at the snme
time they misrepresent the true senti-
ments of the mass of the Southern peo-
pie, and thus tend to keep up Northern
hostility to the South, The editor of
the Examiner is now at Washington,
endeavoring to procure the restoration
of his paper He, as well as secession
lists and copperheads generally, may yet
learn of what metal our President is
made.
