Good Talk,

We Published few weeks since the let
ter of General Longstrcc. on the situation
and we now give the closing paragraph of
one from jeff Thompson. 1t is pthy enough.
What more is there to be said by former
rebel in arms. 1t will be an easier matter
I" get the fighting rebels rccons: ructed.
than to satisfy those who remained ut home
and simply exercised their vocal organs in
shouting "sterboy" to the fighting men.
How truly does this ex-rebel describe the
situation:
The confederate government wiped out
state rights the first year OF its existence;
bloody war wiped out Slavery, and WHIP
ed out the Confedcracy, so they are obso-
lete IDEAS
The proper policy for the victors to pur-
sue is not my province TO discuss. neither
have l right to complain; nor will pre-
s,infe to advise. lean simply set my sol
diers an example Of patience. industry and
enterprise; to build up our broken fortunes,
and make the land bloom again in peace,
confidence and plenty; therefore will ac-
cept all courtcsies and tavors that the laws
may Siait hics anu not let my likes Or dis
likes interfere with my duty to the country.
in which my children ut least have an in
terest. l can now but repeat what had
occasion to write once before: Apollo
gies for the past or promises for the future
would Indicate want of confidence in nv
own Integrity. have simply done what
conceived to be my duty. and propose to
do ]; now" The confederate government
wiped out State rights the first year of its
existence-a bloody war wiped out slavery,
and wiped out the confcderacy. so they are
obsolete ideas; and the plain question now
presented is, "Will you accept citizenship
under our terms As contained in this law 90
aud | emphatically answer Yes. Let each
ana every man IN the South say: ..Ab-
stract ideas or obsolete theories shall not
govern me, for will look facts in the face
as they exist. and make the best out of the
future, without moping over the past. 1t
Is not to be presumed that 1 shall be asked
to compromise my honor. or be false to
my friends, for am compelled to obey the
laws, and being an elector simply gives
me an opportunity to make the laws more
favorable. then will confidence be re
stored. and plenty abound once more.
Yours, most respectfully,
NJ. JEFF. THOMSON.

The Territory Purchased from Russia

Climate and Temperature.-The coast
from Prince of Wales island to the en-
trance of Behring's straits during the win
ter months is about the same as the city OF
Washington. Little snow and much rain.
During the summer months very foggy.
Timber.-The whole country, well up
the northern coast, is heavily timbered,
chiefly with hard-pine forests and small
trees, up to the very shores. Some Of the
islands are heavily timbered with pine
forests and dense underbush, and some of
them are destitute of timber, and covered
with grass of luxuriant growth.
Soil.-On the west coast, produces ex-
cellent barley and roots, such as radishes,
turnips and esculents, such as lettuce,
cabbages, sc.
Animals.-Furred animals, such as sea
otter, river otter, sables, furred seal, mink,
foxes (black, silver, red, etc., in great
numbers red deer in the south and the
reindeer in the north.
Fish.-Herring, salmon, halibut, and
Goldfish abound in countless numbers. In
Behring's sea and to the northward great
whales are very numerous.
Minerals Surface washings' of gold
have been discovered on the headwaters of
the streams on the east side of the coast
range of mountains. The geological de-
velopments are the same on the western
slopes. Native copper has been discover
ed in various places on the coast and in
the vicinity Of Copper river. Iron ore Of
excellent quality, and believed to exist in
exhaustless quantities, is now being smelt-
ed and worked by Russian artisans in re-
pairing ships, sc. Coal is also found in
large quantities, and is being used by the
Russians for naval purposes is similar to
New Brunswick coal. Recent discoveries
have been made of what is believed to be
a better quality of coal, but not yet tested.
Inhabitants.-Five or six thousand Rus
slams, fifty or sixty thousand Indians and
Esquimaux. The latter inhabit the coast
on the Northern Sea, are industrious,
peaceable, and teachable, and live by
hunting and fishing. The Indians inhabit
the interior, are peaceable, and live by
hunting, fishing, and trapping.-Prcfc@soT
