the demagogue and the mad ambition of the poll
tician, the nationality has yet much vitality, and
under the soothing ministratons of the President,
all will yet be WELL
So far as ourrepresentativeS in Congress are con-
cerned, their admission would be useless III the
reconciliation now necessary to restore the govern
ment to its former prosperity. We have long
thought that commerce would do more for us In
practical reconstruction than political agitation or
Legislation, and that the captains of our seven
steamers. which ply between this port and the
North are worth more in the interests of substan-
tial reconciliation and permanent peace than ten
times their number of Congressman, and that the
future prosperity of the country is much more in
yoIved in the discussions and decision of such con-
ventions as our Railroad officials held in Rich
mond last month, than in the deliberations OF a
body busy in the interests of party aseendency
and individual benefit.
We sincerely trust that the policy adopted by
orr people will continue. Close attention to bu-
siness and an honest performance of our duties,
despite the adverse political circumstances under
which we labor, will insure the prosperity of our
city. Cargoes of merchandise will come and go 5
our trade will not lang11ish and the large num-
Der of new residents will find with us prosperous
and hoped, we should look to the happiness of our
people at home, while our political destiny is be-
ing shaped by those who can and we hope will act
for our good and the general veal of the whole
country. Let us be brought to feel this, and act
up to it, and our future will be such as Will be
source of hearty congratulation to all.
The following business letter was received by
us on yesterday, and we publish it mainly for the
purpose of calling the attention of our readers
who may be engaged in farming, to the sugges
tons therein contained. Our columns are always
open to communications on agriculture, and we
would be glad to receive contributions from any
one in regard to crops, method OF cultivation, sys
tenn of labor, &c. as an interchange of opinions
on such matters would no doubt prove mutually
beneficial The climate and soil of North Caro-
lima are unsurpassed by any other State, and al
though our 'spolitical" condition is not such as
we could wish still it is far better to stay at home
and cultivate &c our FARMS" than emigrate to al
most unknown countries. We trust that ourfriend
will let us hear from him often. The letter is
