IMPORTATION OF WHEAT.

Official advices have been received at the
Treasury Department which indicate rather a
remarkable state of things regarding the grain
trade between this country and England, viz:
The shipment of no less than 10000 bushels
of wheat from liverpool to New York. The
two steamers of the Inman line, which left
Liverpool on the 9th and 9th inst, brought
$3.50 bushels. Tho city Of Baltimore, which
arrived at New York on Wednesday, brought
10000 bushels. The steamship Queen of the
National Navigation Line, which left Liverpool
on the 10th, also took 22,.9l bushels as part
of her cargo. These five steamers sailed
within seven days. This state of things natur-
ally attracts much attention.

Progress of Reconstruction.

Among the speech makers who now traverse
the South may now be found Senator Henry
Wilson. Senator Wilson has long represented
the advanced state of northern sentiment upon
the question of political equality, and while it
sill strikes US with wonder that north ern
man should unmolestedly speak northern SEN
timent TO the negroes of Richmond, Virginia. I
yet still no better or truer exponent of what ;s
the sentiment of the northern n.@ierity could be
found than Mr.. Wilson, and no honester man
is known 10 all the political circles of the land
and what is more to the purpose, Mr.. Wilson
is known by the southern people SO to be. He
has never been an extremist, which is in his
favor, and he has been bitterly denounced by
Wendall Phillips for not coming up to the
extreme and impracticable points of the ques.
tion, and this will give him more weight still
with the white population. The negroes ha We
always known him as their fast and firm friend
so his influence with them will be powerful.
As the present bill is fnalty we deem it wise
that all should be brought in harmony with its
provisions as rapidly as possible, and we can
conceive of no man better calculated to hasten
the result. One idea OF his speeches struck us
as being possessed of the most excellent sense
which can be given to both races just now
That item was stated to be that the congress
sional policy intended to put no man down, but
simply to raise up those who soere down. This
is the true ring. No lowering of the white
man. even if he has been rebel, but the rails.
ing up of the black man who has not been a
rebel In the end the southern people will
take kindly to this. When once it is under
stood that nc social equality is either expected
or desired, that the old dominancy has an
eq ual chance Of securing their votes as the
new order of things, that Wade Hampton can
exercise his powers Of persuasion equally with
Gen. Wilson, and whoever gets the votes will
have the power; all distrust of black men vot-
ing will die away except among the hopelessly
incurable idiots of past aristocracy. and
they are now so rapidly dwindling into polit-
ical insignifcance, that nobody deems it worth
their while to bestow thought upon what
they think one way or the other. We are in
formed from reliable sources that the south
is accepting the situation in the development
of earnest labor and that the question of negro
voting does not frightsn them at all. A gen.
tleman from Vicksburg, who was both intell-
gent and sensible upon these questions, as
sured us day or two since that the arranp-
mentor negro voting was rapidly popular
izing itself in the South as the old masters
saw that they stood at least an equal chance
with all others in securing the negro vote, and
began to look upon this pathway as the best
possible road back to their old domnancy in
the national councils. Let that be as it may
we glad that it is being accepted by them
and that before long all the states of the Union
will be recognized in the councils Of the nation.

For the West Jersey pionee
MATRIMONIAL.

Mr.. EDITOR 81 noticed in the Pso.
meer, some months since, the advertise
ment Of Robert Sinclair" in which he
described about the style of wife he would
like to have. [ presume he has met with
one by this time, as they are not very
scarce article when gentlemen Of the right
style offer themselves. It may not be The
case in Bridgeton and other cities where
so many gentlemen are needed to conduct
the business of various kinds, but in the
beautiful and retired village of Cedarville
where have the honor of residing, there
are quite number of ladies (present
company excepted) who would, in my
estimation, gracefully adorn the household
Of city gentleman, or be real help
meet to worthy husband in any calling;
but what show have the ladies of our
towns and villages for companion with
which to share the joys and sorrows of
life, when nearly all the young men leave
for the cities where they think fortune
awaits them; but, alas, do not too many
of them fare worse than those who take
for companion one who has grown up
with them in the country and knows how
to sympathize in all their bereavements
The ladies are generally deprived those
privileges of becoming acquainted which
are considered proper for gentlemen to
avail themselves of, and many who would
make the best of wives live "single" all
their days rather that suffer the reproach
of being "anxious about husband" If
my observation be correct it would be
quite as well if about one third Of the
married ladies had become cold maids"
instead Of encumbering themselves with
what they call husbands. Your readers
may think am on that list Of old maids
and feel Ike scolding a little, but I can
assure them that is not the case, and that
l am an advocate of matrimony when the
right one is to be found. | do not be-
lieve in "going it blind" for the sake Of
a husband. There are too many blanks
drawn in that lottery, and if should ever
be SO fortunate, or unfortunate, as to
reach that G blissful state" which the
married folks SO much speak of, want
q live man one who has got enough am
bition, tact and talent to support wife in
good style, providing she does her part
towards the success of the establishment.
But as sRobert Sinclair" is not in the
market / shall continue to live in hope if
| die in despair. Fearing / may be in
truding too much on your space I will

While science has laboured for the benefit
of the human race, it is buta poor return to
have imitators start up and claim merits for
their articles which never existed except in
appearance. Since Halls Vegetable Sicilian
Hair Remover has been introduced, and the
remedial effects of this valuable preparation
have been so plain, legion have commenced
manufacturing their nostrums. In point of
merit there isno comparison, no more than the
counterfeit resembles the genuine bank bills
One has a value for which the holder resolves
its value, while the other is worthless and is
palmed off upon the unwary. The effects of
Halls Sicilian Hair Renewer upon the head is
to renew the growth of the hair restore it to its
natural color when it has become gray, and
cure all diseases ofthe scalp. The effects are
seen from the first bottle Weekly Times.
