QUE RICHMOND CORRESPO NDENCE.
The memorIaI Bazaar Rtchmond-The

Senator Wilson, sc.
RICHMOND, VA, April "a, 1867.
Del0 Journm We arrived here safely,
at late hour last z. NJ, and found Rich
mond, not the Richmond of old, but the
newly resurrected city of that name, stand
ing where it formerly did, as proudly beau
tiful as before upon its several hills. 1t
may i'll truth be called the resurrected,
springing as it has done from the ashes
both of the war and the fire which was the
closing scene here of that war
The travel from Wilmington here, bar
ing the dust, was exceedingly pleasant
1t was our good fortune to meet On the first
half of our own road with our old friend,
Captain Cults, and upon the latter part
with that time honored prince of Railroad
Conductors, Captain George Morrison. -
The miles intervening between Weldon and
Petersburg were passed over under the
charge of Capt. w. Ell. McGec, of Peters
burg, us pleasant, atfable and courteous a
gentleman as it has ever been our good for
tune to meet upon Il railroad, not even ex-
ccpting George Morrison, himself.
1t is, of course, too carly to speak of the
crop prospects, as that article has barely
yet been warmed to life in the earth but
VIC can say that the preparations for IL vigor-
Gus campaign of that kind arc receiving
great attention, not only from the farmers
along the moro northerly portions of our
own State line of railroads, but from those on
this side OF Weldon,
We were fortunate enough, upon our al
rival here, to secure good rooms ut the old
Spottswood Hotel, which has not, like
many other things, lost anything by its
ro-adoption by tie mother eagle. The
apartment assigned us is furnished in a
taste of truly elegant simplicity, and the
liable d'Aote is we'll supplied with every
thing tempting to the palate.
The Bazaar opened here yesterday I'M
der very favorable auspices, and the ladies
in charge assert that it will be, in every
way, most successful affair. We were
! fortunate enough to meet up, early this P.
NJ, with Major T., from Wilmington, I'M
der whose kind conduction We were moi
only admitted to the Bazaar Hall before the
visiting hour, but were introduced to the
lady officers, from whom we received every
kindness and attention, and whose courte-
sy we desire to acknowledge here. They
seem well pleased with their success on
yesterday, the first day, and confidently
predict full continuation OF the public
custom. This success is certainly well
mcrited, as the labor Of the ladies, the over.
flowing tables, and the merits of the cause
in which they are all engaged are sufficient
in themselves, to command the support oil
all true Southcrners. The tables Of the diff
ferent States are we'll and most tastCfuIly
ornamcntcd, and the variety of articles dis
played thereon is sufficient to tempt tho
most parSimOniOuH to invest III the enter
prise Not the least attractive feature O
the exhibition is that handsome cottage
made by Mrs. s., of Wilmington, and con
tributcl to the festival, which is attracting
universal! admiration. The picture gallery
is, however, the greatest spot of attraction
and its beauties are too numerous to bt
particularized here. Suffice ii to say that W.
will cndcavor TO give you tomorrow some
OF the benefits Of an hours attention to
day.
Senator Wilson spoke here III the Capt.
toll Square on Monday last No great eX
element seems to have been Il consequence
of the same. SO far the white man la:
not been made black, nor has the blacl
man been made white by the effects of his
disintcrcsted efforts. Politically speaking
he is dyins-faat dying, and we now earn
ostly hope that by the time his tour is com
pIcted, that he will be most blaclly anC
thoroughly dyed and most completely anC
d-nably dead. More anon.
Yours, j.
