Southern men of business are exhibit

trip into Virginia, ''goilg even so short
a distance as Culpeper in ole direction,
or Petersburg in another, and he cam

perative energy-nature, as always 10y
ally helpng-which is displayed. The
roads are we'll stocked, we'll managed,
well run. On the sea-board, the great
bay line, passing to and beyond Nor
folk-an enterprise in which not a little
Philadelphia capital is invested-is
matchless in its administrative success.
So 1t is generally. Be it remembered,
that, Oh the land lines we speak OF,
were the bloodest battles and the fierc-
est rayages Of the war; and yet, from
the Potomac TO Gordonsville, from A.
quia Creek to Richmond, except now
and then fragment of a stockade, or
the cash OF rlhe-pit, Qor the peaceful
green grass soon hides those grim things
called rerchments,) there is hardly
a sign of the ferocity of war. The trav-
eler is shown the humble frame build.
ing where Stonewall j acksop died, and
the distant spot where the heroic Sedg.
wick breathed his last; and he passes
on, wondering how such things could
have been. A veil is being drawn over
the dismal past, and enterprise and
such immigration as self-reliant enter
prise invites, are doing their sure work
of pacltication,"

A NEIaHBoRLY couMENT.

It is sometimes instructive to learn
what our neighbors are saying about US.
Here is specimen of what the Canadi-
ans think Of Republican institutions. =
1t is from the Toronto Leader "Watch-
ing the progress ofpolitics in the Unit
ed States one 10 often forced into con-
sidering what is the use of the BALLOT
Look at the history of Texas for the
past two months. There the Demo-
Gratis and the Republicans are fighting
over the Governorship. The people
promise a Democratic majority, but the
government at Washington is bound to
support the Republican party; and as
the States are a tree country, that gov
eminent is, of course, free to act as it
chooses. Orders are therefore issued
from the White House to dismiss every
person holding office in Texas who is
going to vote the Democratic ticket
The ballot, then, is no protection. A
merican newspapers pirate loudly en-
ough if they can rout up an English
landlord who asks his tenants to vote
for his personal friend, and they call it
gross oppression, and many other hard
names. But what Is this procedure of
the United States government but the
worst kind of despotism? Surely uh-
der such rule the ballot becomes a
inockery, and Republican freedom lit
tie else than an imposture.

The Democrats claim the senators

true, and we have no reason to doubt
it, there will be six Democrats and six
Liberals in the next Senate-a consti-
tutional majority. In the Hmse also

Democrats so that there will probably

IF Referring to the infamous pro-
position 10 postpone the elections in
Mississippi and Texas, not because re-
construction is not to be fairly carried
our, but because the ultra Radical wing
is likely to be defeated in these States,
the Boston Post says: "If so daring an
outrage can be perpetrated with impu-
nity-so ignoble q violation of the
pledges of Congress and the desire of
the people-the freemen OF the country
are fiji to become slaves and kiss the rod
that-smites them; # they do not offer
resistance to such treachery as will
make their oppressors tremble in the
high seats of power they unworthily
fill, they have lost the spirit Of true
manhood and are fit for AFFECT obed-
ence to any command imposed by de-
magogues who lord it over theln."

THEY WON'T GO TO THE SOUTH.

The New York Journal of G Commerce
complains that Radical Congressman
are perfectly willing to cross the CONT
nent, travel through New England,
voyage to San Domingo, or go to the
uttermost parts of the earth at public
expense, but they will not visit the
South, where they would see with their
own eyes how littl they know of the
people and the public sentiment there.
The Journal predicates its complaint
upon the recent refusal of the sub-com-
mitee on elections to go to South Caro-

ut Westminster Abbey in London, Sun
day, to hear the Bishop of London's flu
neral sermon on the late George Pea
body. The building was still hung with
the mourning drapcry of Friday. The
Bishop delivered an eloquent and pa
theft; eulogy on the life and extraordi-
nary services of Mr.. Peabody's human
ity. No untitled ccmnoner, said the
Bishop, had ever gathered such con-
course of sincere mourners around his
grave. He labored to relieve the wants
OF the poor, and by them he was below
ed, as by all those who sympathise with
poverty and honor benevolence. His
business it was to gather and his joy to
give. Two nations would ever rever-
ence his name, which forms another
bond OF union between England and
America.

/" The mysterious disarpearance
of many persons who have business on
the mississippi river IS at length ex-
planned. AS The steamer Lady Gray
was passing Island No. IS. about 100
miles below Cairo last Tuesday she
took in tow from Mr.. Testers wood
yard fiat to wood from, Mr.. Lester
accompanying the boat. After pro-
ceeding about six miles the boat was
cut loose, Mr.. Lester received $llO for
his wood aud the flat was floating back
when skiff put off from the shore,
manned by two men, who boarded the
fiat, and demanded Mr.. Testers mo-
ney. They said that they were river
pirates and would shoot him il he did
not comply with their demands. Mr..
Lester, who Is an old man quietly gave
them all the money he had and thank
ed them for sparing his life but as soon
as ono of them had returned to the
skifi, he drew his pistol and shot the
other who wasjust stepping over the ball
going through his heart; he then shot
the one who was in the skiff through
the hips, and navigsted both boats to
his yard. Burns, the survivor said that
his companions name was Moore and
they were members OF an organized
gang Of. river pirates that has been
watching the river between Memphis
and Cairo for several years and ropbing
whenever they had chance. Burns
confesses that he had shot and thrown
overheard four men from wood-yards,
who resisted his demands.
