VIRGINIA TRADE.-The persistence with
which some of our citizens still continue to
patronize the Northern markets in preference
to their own, sometimes reminds US OF the old
fable in which the other members of the
body declared war upon the indolent stomach,
and combined in an attempt to starve out that
worthless member of the frame with success
which will be remembered by all readers Of the
story in question. People exclaim how abb
surd" was such conduct, and yet it is not with
out counterpart in the mercantile transactions
Of too large portion of the Southern people.
In our body polite we may compare the rural
districts to the actively laboring members OF
the body, while the great Commercial and
Manufacturing centres may be compared not
naptly to the stomach which receives the food
produced by the other members, and assimilat-
ing and dgesting it in a manner which adds to
the general health and prosperity OF the whole
frame, returns to the most distant extremltles
through the railroads (which may be likcncd to
the arteries) the nutritive elements which it has
received
The welfare of our cities and rural districts
stherefore inseparable, and one cannot be de-
prived of its natural nourishment without a
corresponding injury being inflicted on the
other II the stomach be starved the inteebled
body must languish; and it is only when all.the
mem bers are healthy that the whole frame can
develop its most vigorous efforts.
Our people have too loug been unmlndtul OF
these plair old truths, but the time has come
when they should no longer indulge in blind
ness which is ruinous to the best interests of
their State and section. We must rely upon
ourselves we must be true to each other we
must ignore as far as possible extraneous inter
ests and consult our own, by the production
at home Of every article needed in the house
and in the field.
The money paid into Northern Golfers by
Virginia alone would; if retained at home,
make our country almost an Eden; would
oulld up factories and fleets, and colleges, and
s!urantee employment and competence to every
citizen,
Ii the good work has been long delayed, SO
much more pressing are the reasons for. com.
nencing it Immediately, and prosecuting it
Vigorously, until it shall have reached a glori-
GUS completion. Richmond EnQuiyer. -

GREELEY--Horaoe Greeley was
greeted with q monster house at his
lecture before the Young Mems Soci-
ETY., Tuesday evening last; a very
complimentary demonstration for IL.
G., and good omen for the financial
success of the Society in the lecture
business this winter. Horace is verg-
ing toward the "sere and yellow leaf"
but he bears his age well, wears shiny
black store clothes, looks neat and be-
nevolent, and talks as crotchety as he
writes. In the summer Of 1S45 We
became slightly acquainted with Mr..
Greeley through a letter of intro
duction from Hon. Geo. @. Bates
He was then in the full glory Of his
ancient drab habiliments, up to the
neck in Fourierism, and endeavoring
earnestly to invent some patent pro-
cess for the regeneration OF the world
and the publication of the New York
five points. lie has since dabbled in
mesmerism, spiritualism, biology, aer-
ology, and every other ism and ology
extant; advocated peaceable secession,
interninable war, peace at any price,
conciliation, accommodation, anni-
anything and everything in
regard to the Southern States, accord
ing to the exigency of circumstances,
and he is the great leader and en-
bodiment of radical republicanism.--

OFFICES FOR SoLDIERs.--The President
has issued the following circular to the heads
of the Departments in reference to appoint
mepts to office: ~
Executive MANSION, Washington, April
7, ls66.--It is eminently right and proper
that the government OF the United States
should give earnest and substantial evidence
Of Its just appreciation Of the services of tho
patriotic men who, when the life Of the ma
tion was irnperiled, entered the army and
navy to preserve the integrity Of the Union,
defend the government aud maintain and
perpetuate unimlaired, its free institutions.
II Is therefore, directed, first, that in ap-
pointments TO office in the several Executive
departments of the general government and
the various branches of the public service
connected with the said departments pref
erence shall be given to such meritorious
and bonorably discharged soldiers and sail
ors, particularly those who have been dis
abled by wounds received or diseases con-
tracted in the line Of duty, as may possess
proper qualifications.
Second, That In all promotions issued 10
said departments, and the several branches
Of the public service, such person shall have
the preference, when equally eligible aud
qualified, over those who have not faithfully
and honorably served in the land or naval
forces Of the United States
