LAY. McICH'i''' we"
49,. ,;,v last year have complained OF
". severely "gouged." We have not
', ,.cr it. But it must be rcmcm-
,..,, the real merchants are no more
.a1, for the cXtortions OF last year
.rr The bricks and rubbish of the
..,,r,ct. Those merchants were the
,..,-, ~ the great fire, and had not re-
.4 business. The close Of the war
,alrlcnsc stocks of one kind and
t.- in the hands OF suffers OF the
...,.. and a considerable part of these

So. men whose "sharp practice in the

Eating. Besides, large number oil
,..rrrn rcrSonS--undcr the impression
.r., the South was entirely bare OF goods,

a..>r stocks, the vendors imagined they
were 10 grow rich. They were to become
...,.,,t >rrCulators and tobacconiSts. They
wee disappointed. They found people

,..ns to maintain war, and who had
Welded only when they were completely
s,..-.ntc. These persons with these sup

,t.v could, and they endeayorcd TO REIN
i.r>c themselves for losses on what they
I'LL not sell, by cXtorti0natc charges
MON Tie Indispensable articles, which the
..Arwcrc forced 10 buy. 1t is not fair,
,..,r.urc, 10 consider the trade in mcr-
,..u,i,r last year as the business of Rich
..,l merchants. Indeed, as soon as some
o., lie oll merchants got upon their feet
,... more, and opened their stores, there
va, ~ immediate decline in some leading

So, hNow.
LIT no southern man, no Virgnian,
'.'l this city accountable commercially,
., r,irrI in almost any other sense, for the
,..:'- q. last year, when She was but Il
M..h. completely PROSTATE, and at the
...y Of every sort Of bird of passage and
q, ~r, that came to profit on the mlsior-
,..r>,f tic people Of Richmond and their
..a:5ymcn.
Richmond is herself again True, She
work IL

H,.r,,., are once more under the control
.. lvr own people, and she is moving
,0raI with wonderful rapidity, full Of
."G., AID Of hope.
iauNi;iou to the large supplies and va
...l u,sortmcntS in several departments of
,.Iy alluded to in the DiSpdtc. yesterday,
r.npw mention that OF china, glass, earth
,...Yr, Hc. There have been recent
..Hy direct importationS from Europe
.ou-,t to His market by our own mcr-
,.aut, and the gentlemen engaged in this
,.D5r are too well posted, too we'll under

"at viii drive them 10 other markets.
Agricultural implements are here offer
~, d. every variety and the greatest album

rMamtactcricS i'll this important branch
L., ~ al Il
w....r,,abishcd houses, whose regulations
~.r - extensive and 50 good that not a
anI j. necessary from us to impress the
wtIic mind with confidence in them. The
.m.,l"mvutS turned out aud on sale in these
age houses are not merely agricultural
ulcy relate to all departments Of household
c,"uomy and industry, gardening, fruit
ra'Urr, etc. We believe our people have
ut been in the habit, for many years be
IRE the war, Of passing Richmond to sup
.ly Themselves with any OF these multi
logm anl indispensable articles OF country
l." and occupation. We may safely say
HAT the business to which they pertain is
conducted more extensively here now than
Al any former day.
Ia tie branch Of Saadlcry, harness, &C.,
D.r ely business is fairly reconstructed.
Richmond work VAS before the war famous

Aa!c up large stocks of all qualities and

again in full blast, turning out work worthy
