Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
PETERSBURG, May 4, 1867.

PETERSBURG, May 4, 1867.
III would be extremely gratifying to be
able to report any Improvement In the
business Of the city; but the spring,
which has such vivifying effect on all
nature, brings no reaction in matters OF
trade. The dry goods stores are regularly
opened every morning, but the clerks and
the statesmen sit most Of the day with
folded hands. The mantua-makers and
milliners are consequently idle-a leading
member Of the former class informing me
to-day that she scarcely took in money
enough to 90 to market. So you perceive
that, if the ladies absent themselves from
the resorts of fashion, it can only be from
exigencies Of q pressing nature.
The failure of a prominent firm-and
one of the oldest in the city-during the
week, not only produced wide-sprea d
sympathy, but has served to impair what
little Of confidence that previously ex-
listed. Mr.. Lemuel PEBBLES, the head Of
the firm, is man universally respected
and esteemed in this community. He is
one Of our best citizens in every sense Of
the term; an accomplished merchant,
public-spirited, and benevolent. A con-
siderable portion Of his means being for
the time unavailable, he deemed it more
prudent to suspend than to run the risk
Of involving others in his fall by striving
to keep on.
During the past week cotton has been
very fluctuating. The favorable advices
OF a week ago from Liverpool caused con-
siderable excitement in the market for
day or two, and the price advanced from
20 to 2lc. on Friday, to rs and zoe. on
Tuesday Wednesday the market was
less firm, and yesterday it closed at ~ to
24c. The views of some holders, however,
are above these figures. The stock on
hand is now small, and the receipts per
railroad rapidly falling off.
The receipts of cotton at all the ports
since the lst of September, 1866, amount
TO $40, 900 bales, against l,756,000 up to
this time last year. Exports from all the
ports since September /, 1866, are l,lSl,-
900 bales.
The tobacco market is more steady,
with prices of an advancing tendency.
Good to very good Tugs are selling at from
"a to 50: good leaf, $40 to SIS; very
good. sic to $50; fine, $40 to $50. Sales
during the week amount to about $50 lots
of loose and hogsheads.
The Fair for the benefit of the Catholic
congregation will be opened at Mechanics
Hall on Monday. Many valuable contri-
buttons have been forwarded from Balti-
more, Norfolk, and Richmond and it is
thought that the enterprise will be emf
nently successful. 1t is understood that
it will wind up towards the close of the
week by grand concert, for which the
best musical talent in Richmond, and per-
haps other places, has been engaged. 5.

Commenting on the above, the editor o.

The negro now has less law on his side
In Connecticut than in Mississippi. Con-
gress, reassembling in July, ought to pro.
vide for his immediate relief. There was
an outcry against giving the negro his civil
rights but when the deed was done the
whole land acquiesced. There is SINH.
lar cutlery against giving him his political
rights; but, once given, there will be
general appreciation Of the gift. II ne
groes who have been brought up In slavery
are allowed to vote In the South, why shall
not negroes who have been brought up IN
freedom be allowed to vote in the North
Not only is Mr.. Sumner right as to the
power Of Congress In the present case, but
long ago he was right as to the power Of
Congress to govern the unreconstructed

Mysterious Disappearance.

Mr.. Horace Hall, agent for the Mississippi
Central Railroad, at this place, left here on
the 9Th inst. for New Orleans, to transact
some .oficial business, requiring but few
days absence from home. Having transacted
his business, we learn that be paid his bill
at the City Hotel on the 10th, since which
time nothing has been heard Of him.
Mr.. Hall has been connected with the road
for the last eight years, since it 6rst com
meneed operations, and possessed the entire
confidence VI the company, as we'll as Of this
community. It's much feared by bic friends
and is the prevailing opinion in the commu-
nifty, that he has been foully dealt with. He
is well known in New Orleans, and it is be-
lieved some villains, supposing be had a
large sum Of money, were led to commit a
horrible crime. II such should be the case,
they must have been greatly disappointed, as
we are credibly informed he had but money
sufficient 10 bear bis expenses. 1t is greatly
10 be hoped, for the sake Of his distressed
family, especially, that the mystery which
overhangs bis. fate may be soon cleared up.

CHOLERA.

Or usually healthy and quiet town has
beeu thrown into some excitement by the
appearance, in our midst, OF few cases OF
cholera, within the last three days. 1t Is
natural that this scourge of our race should
produce some excitement whenever it makes
its appearance.
We are satisfied, however, that its danger
is oyerrated, since pro rer measures of.pre-
c0u'iop, With regard to regimen, are known
to be great safeguard if not an absolute
preventive of the disease.
We, therefore, recommend to our citizensi
strict attention to diet, cheerful spirits, and
a prompt ire ,tment of incipient symptoms.
