The New York Tunes contains a let
ter from a correspondent in Richmond,
dated the 18th inst, in which il is stated
that sit seems to be reserved for the
cities and the upland counties to mani
fest whatever of disaffection TO the Gov
eminent, or ranc0r against the North
and the new order, there is in the
State" The correspondent continues ::
That there is some of all this left is
more apparent in Richmond than any
where else in the State, the people here
indulging themselves in the unprofita-
BILE employment of cutting off the nose
10 spite the face. Without capital
themselves. these men do not want cap
ital brought here, because it will bring
men with il, and they are afraid OF the
"little leaven that leayeneth the whole
lump" In this spirit they endeavor to
break down every enterprise run by
Northern capital. They will not pat
ronize the Ballard House because Mr..
Maine and Col. French, the proprie-
tors, are Northern men, and the latter
gentleman is Furthermore guilty of the
crime of having been on Buffers staff
in New Orleans. Another instance was
the Republic, which was warred upon
because Of the suspicion that it was
backed by Northern money.
Another correspondent in Richmond.
writing on the 9th instant, speaks as
follows of the unfortunate mistake
made by Governor Peirpoint in oppos-
ing the continuance of the test oath for
voters in the Constitution of Virginia.
Hesays:
Governor Peirpoint doubtless regrets
the first step of his administration in
enabling Rebels DISTINGUISHED by the
Alexandria Constitution to decide upon |
the question of their own disfranchise-
ment, and thus 10 resume power. But
there is no help for il now, except from
Congress. The Governor has become
t.ths best abused" of the Rebel jour
mails, and his chief merit of many is his
unpopularity with them. That it would
NOT make martyrs OF the ex-Rebels, |
and set up an Oligarchy of Unionists, |
were the reasons given for the mag
nanimity by which the present incon- |
grnous Legislature held their session. |
The tendency of things as they are, If |
unchecked, is to make martyrs of I'm
ionists, and an oligarchy of the ex-
Rebels. Material reconstruction, let |
US trust, promises more fairly.

CALIFORNIA JUSTICE San Fran
cisco correspondent of the New York
Times, speaking of the aroad agents, !,
or highway robbers OF California, re-
lates the following:
A few days since they stopped the
Nevada stage and obtained 5000. As
soon as the fact was made known a
pluclSy little sheriff armed with one Of
the Henry Repeating Rifles" set out
in pursuit, and a few miles from the
scene OF the robbery came upon the
robbers. One Of them, raising his
head, saw the sheriff, stopped down
and grabbed his pistol; but as his head
appeared above the bushes ball went
crushing through It. The next made
an attempt 10 tire, but was shot dead;
the third ran, but the fatal rifle was on
him, and he too fell with q bullet
through his body, q dead man. Thus a
cool head and steady hand saved the
courts much trouble, and within an
hour after the robbery was committed,
the perpetrators were all three tried,
convicted and executed by the SheriffI
and Judge Henry, and the money re-
covered.
