OUR PETERSBURG LETTER.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
Advance in Cotton - Conservative Meeting
Building Associations.
PETERSBURG. January 4, 1868.

TETERSBSkG, JdHudiy +, LOWE
Under the inspiration Of cheering
weather and favorable advices from abroad
the cotton market is more than usually
excited to-day. Prime is worth fifteen
cents, and the views Of some holders are
still higher. By morning, ii nothing further
transpires, it is probable that an advance
will be realized. The receipts during the
week, in consequence Of the holidays, have
fallen off considerably, being only 1926
bales, against l,347 last week. The times
are thought to be a. shade easier since the
beginning of the new year, and further
Improvement is anticipated.
The Conservative meeting last night was
pretty we'll attended. The object was to
organize on the plan proposed by the late
Convention in Richmond: and in accord
anee Herewith an executive committee
was appointed for the city, consisting OF
twelve citizens-three from each ward.
The business Of the meeting was quietly
transacted, no public addresses being made
other than the explanatory remarks OF the
chairman.
The several building associations in the
city have held their annual meetings since
the first of the year. The old officers are
reelected, and the affairs of. all are III a! q
prosperous condition. Owing to the ollli-
cult times, some shares are reported Us
forfeited, but the monthly payments havo
been made with good degree OF punc'u-
atty. %

Hl1no :.;o,,s are scarce and that there is q
PIT deal of idleness throughout the coun-

S;SStnrhance, to greater or less extent, may
bs the result. 1t may require more for

among both races will use their influence
to discourage everything like disorder, it
is believed that it may be avoided. The
work to keep himself and family from
starvation. There is plenty to do, and
plenty of land to till. Not one freedman
in the State needs to be idle who has the
will to work.
Our colored population, after the subor-
dination to which they had been so long
accustomed, would doubtless have made
very good citizens if they had not been
misled by the evil counsels of strangers.
They are an impressble people, naturally
docile, and easily influenced by those in
whom they have confidence. If we had
many such men as Hunnicutt TO infame
their passions, there is no telling to what
lengths they might have been carried.
Fortunately for the welfare of the race, we
have had none such in this part of Vir-
ginia, but enough of others to initiate them
with a great idea of their Importance.
That they should therefore assume occa-
sionally airs Of conceit and vanity is very
natural, and should be regarded as harm
less.
Whenever our social system shall be
established again on stable foundation,
and virtue and intelligence enjoy the
ascendancy it is entitled to over numbers,
cannot resist the belief that the negro
will form very useful element in the
fabric. 1t is difficult to imagine the posi-
bility Of his ever making q statesman or a
legislator, but he may be valuable as an
operative. In the changes about to take
place, if society should fall into q statesof
chaos, he viii be a terrible engine of de-
struction; and he will either have to give
way to the white man or the white man to
him. 1t will require the utmost prudence
and wisdom to adjust all these difficulties
but assuming that it is practicable to do it,
Il will be discreet to bear with the infrmi-
les of our former servants, and TO en- /
