Now is the time, says the Richmond Times, for
the South to show The greatness of her soul, and
TO make her prosecutors desperate in the diseoye-
ry that bayonets and brute force have no terrors
for her; that the sublimity of her courage and
fortitude con never BE reached by those who have
neither the wisdom nor craftsmanship to 'recon-
struct !" but idly think that all the Gordian knots
Of politics can be cut by The sword Of Brigadier
The Richmond Enquirer closes an editorial as
follows: ave entreat the men Of the North to
take counsel of their own knowledge of human ma
ture--to consult their interests-to remember their

man be ashamed Of his porerty=honest, virtuous
poverty, is no disgrace. The wisdom that we
have learned by experience, will become our tails
man in the future, and the final adjustment may
bring repose and quiet to the country. Let US
hope for the best.
