Newspapers.

Among the elements which determine
the characteristics of a people, no branch
of social statistics occupies a more lmpor-
t;lnt slace, than that which exhibits the
aumber variety aad diffusion OF newspa-
pers and othsr periodicals composing, as
they do, part otthe reading ofall. They
furnish nearly the whole OF the reading
which the greater number, whether from
inclination ornecessity permit themselves
to enjoy. aud it was the virtue Of this fact
that the most philosophical of Statesmen
signalized newspaper circulation, as the
NEST important instrument OF the popular
intelligence At the present day the news
paper aud the periodical have become
popular educator.
The people OF the U. S. are peculiarly

The Prospect.

The only encouraging feature in the
gloomy prospect before us. is the fact that
we are constrained to make virture Of
necessity, give up politics. and devote our
attention to business. Necessity, not
choice. has led us to this. Adversely
sometimes teaches in moment useful
lesson that years of prosperity would fail
to inculcate. Our eyes are now, we hope,
fully open to our past folly, andwe will be
wise if, in the future as we'll as at present,
we shall eschew politics, Or at least make
it subordinate to our business interests.
By singular antithesis, says the Rich
mond Wing, just as we, not voluntarily,
however, have been brought down to our
duty, are giving up politics and devoting
Ourselves to useful work, the North has
lost its interest in the great objects of
material improvement and development,
and given up its whole mind and heart to
politics. The North feels that it has, for
the first time, got the Government in its
keeping, and is afraid it will escape from
its hands if its attention isaverted for a mo-
ment. Every man, woman and child at
the North has become politician, if not
statesman, and they are as much tick]ed
with that toy, the Government, as child
is with a rattle They can think and talk
of nothing else but the great power Of the
North and their days andmghtsare spent
in devising ways aud means Of making the
South feel the weight Of that power. Let
them go on playing with their new pet,
and let US work while they disport them
sleeves. If we faithfully perform the du-
ties that devolve upon us, we can in ten
years not only repair all the ravages Of
war, but make long strides in the march of
improvement. 1t is for this generation Of
Southern men to give impress to all future
generations Of the South, to create that
impetus which shall bear them onward to
a greater prosperity aud power than we
have ever had. Leaving the other South
ern States to perform their part in the
drama that is opening, let us in Virginia
throw our whole hearts and souls into it..

dent of giving the utmost satisfaction. Du-
ring the past year we have forwarded num-
Der of the most valuable prizes to all parts of
