The AFRICAN METHODIST Episcopal Con
ference has been holding a session in Peters
burg for eight days past. Its proceedings have
been reported regularly in the papers Of that
city, We notice in their last days proceedings
a report upon the state Of the country"
from which we extract the following: +
SIN very many districts of the country,
where The dependence of the colored people
upon the white, and the white upon the color
ed, has been SO complete, good feeling exists
towards us and efforts to day are being made
by ur,white brethren in the Southern States
to benefit us religiously and otherwise.
.NowIthis statement implies a just recogni-
ton Of the treatment received by the colored
people at the hands of the whites, and express
es the truth. We know that good feeling
does exist between the races in the South, Ges-
pite the falsehoods that are daily Illuminated
il. the Northern press: Nothing can disturb
these pleasant relations but the informed ding
of malignant and lanatical disturbers of the
peace:-Lyhchbaog Targanian.

WORMS or ENCOURAGEMENT

Let US now look to the future and take new
hope The political status Of Virginia and the
South is seriously affecting heir prosperity and
retardcg their recovery from the desolatlon Of
the war. But we all know that in spite of the
tyranny Of the heartlcss sectional majority which
detains us in this oppressed condition, if our
people devote themselves heart and hand to
lettering heir con ]itioneach man his own
fortune the aggregate results must be great.
We know that here in Virginia our people
have gone to work in earnest, and that the
crops will speak for them. The large tobacco
crop which will be brought to market the cnsu-
suing spring must afford much relief And
now that money will no more be invested in ne
grocs, the proceeds Of this and all other crops
will be more difused amongst the people, and
the profits be used more exclusively to the gen
eral relief and the encourag cement Of the differ
ent branches of industry. This is q most i'm
portant point to be remembered. ..'s.a
The winter thus far has been favorable to
the wheat crop. During the sharnest and most
biting trosts the wheat was protected with a
mantle Of snow: and that protector not only
keeps away The frost, but ftrt;lizes the earth
snd increases the Vlgor and pr0ducHreness OF
the crop We may then hope for Il good crop
OF that cereal which is so Important.
These are facts for encouragement, and if we
look about US, we fipd that there is great deal
Of enterprise amongst our people. Never we're
there so many bills for the Incorporation OF
mining and manufacturing companies as are
now before the General Assembly Of Virginia
Many Of them, We appreheud, are merely bogus
projects; but many must be bona yi,2c charters
Tor solid corporations, which will DO much to
advance the general prosperity. We take it
;hatathe fact isiadicasive of that resolute spirit
Of the people to meet the cxigencies of the ncw
situation, and to make the most CT the better
consequences that flow from it. These nevi-
tally lead 20 more com pete ard Senefcial d.
vision OF labor, and a-more= extensive field for
enterprise and occupation, the fruits OF which
will be IA more rapid Improvement Of the State
in the true source of powor-popalaton and
wealth. t'5Sds-s ,<~" & v~~i i
THESE things are to come, and that soon.-
We need not say how profits from agriculture
will be driven to this and other cities for in
vestmeut-how agriculture and commerce will
ts m Gre closely allied than ever-snd how great
.change there must come over the appearance
of the whole country in its improvements and
its industrial economy. Richmond Dispatch
