"Brick" Pomeroy, writing to his
paper from New York, uses the fol-
lowing language:
"There is ruin ahead. Losses and
bankruptcy will be familiar words
from now and for long time, till the
financial balloon rises high out OF
sight in the cloud of reputation of
our national debt. The West is out
OF money, grain and cattle. The
South is on the verge of famine. The
war developed thieves, swindlers and
spectators, and destroyed over two
millions of producers. The internal
revenue receipts last year were forty
per cent. less than was expected,
while the expenses of Republican
Government were sixty per cent.
more than was anticipated. This
makes difference of 10 per cent.

A SESs1BLE V1Hw oF REcogsrRuo.
TIoN. The Richmond Wig has ar
rived at the following sensible and
practical conclusions:
Our opinion is that the present. is
the proper time to heal the wounds
inflicted by the war, to build up
what is thrown down, and to restore
what is destroyed.
In the great process Of reconstruct
ton, upon which we are about to
enter-a reconstruction not only DO
lltical, but social and industrial-we
of the South are required to play a
part-an humber part than is agree
able, or than has been our won't
but still IAN important part. We
must, however, remember in the
beginning that we cannot, by anv
action OF ours, change the status Of
the Northern people or of the South
ern negroes. Their status is fixed,
and will be maintained, no matter
what we may do. But we can make
our own condition agreeable or dis
agreeable, that is, our action will be
influential in moulding the action
OF those upon whom it devolves to
determine our future position in the
Cnlon. We must remember by dav
and by night that we are in their
power, not they in ours. Any oppo-
sltlon we make to them will be un
avalllnS for good, and can only harm
ourselves.
If we want peace we must prac-
tlcc the virtues OF peace, and ii we
want to get back into the Union we
must pursue that mode indicated by
those who have the power to pre-
scribe. All historical prccedents
show us that the corqueror only
throws down his arms when the
conquered succumbs, and that he
grants peace only upon his own
terms. The general rule is not going
to be relaxed in our case. Of this
we may rest assured. We may also
just rs well Danish from our minds
tho delusion that We can quarrel our
way back into the Union. We have
found out that we can neither fight
ourselves out OF or into the Union,
and we will ere long find ont that
quarreling is just as f ritless, and
not half so manly rs fig cing. Feel
ing convinced that it is impossible
to tight, and not wishing to dcgene-
rate into common scolds, we have
resolved, for ourselves, to conform
to tho situation, and obey a necessity
which is as Irresistible rs death.

The Wheat NJ arket.

The San Francisco C0mme,rial Ucyald
has an article in relation to tie wheat eX-
port, which seems in a measure to account
for the recent advance in prices. ltsays :
We low propose to give comp rative
review Of the produce trade for the first
three months of tho present harvest year,
beginning July lst, 1867 as compqred with
n like period in 1866. New York has in.
creased her demands for our brrads'uHs as
follows In 1866 she took only 707 barrels,
of ilo"r during the period above stated, but
since harvest this year she has taken 90
6Sl barrels. an increase of 1904 barrels
OF Wheat she took 63,l92 sacks, against
an aggregate amount of ll0.192, the first
three months of this harvest year, a differ
enc. of 80, 7i5 reduced to Wheat at two
cents the pound, the money value of her
requirements for the three mouths ending
September 3Oth. is S35G,470. 1928, 59i
mere than for the same period last year.
The requirements Of Great Britain shows a
still greater increase over the correspond
ing period of 1866. That country took
1890, Gas worth of our lrradstuffs in the
period tilted but this y. ar she has to the
value o: 50, 7Ol O44 in the same time. The
exhibit Of our flour trade with Chin shows
neither decline nor advance, but the eX.
ports of wheat were much less, having fall
en- Oft three quarters. On the other hand.
South America has made demands upon us
for 46 $50 barrels of flour aud l,04S sacks
wheat, being tue commencement Of our
brcaGstuff, trade in that direction.
A further illustrating the causes which
led to the advance. and which afford good
reasons for believing that high prices will
be- maintained. we copy the following from
the New York Post:
The late advicrs respecting the Europ-
can crops indicate generally a deficient
harvest that is scarcely up to the average
of former wears. 1t is ominous that at the
commencement of the harvest prices in
grain should raise in nearly all the CONT
mental markets. In France the crops are
inferior both in quality and quantity. and
the Government is purchasing grain to pro
vid- against the dangers 81 future scarcity.
