NOW no GO SOUTH,

Chronicle, from W wilmington, ~ ~ ~
writer offers, in proof Of the great change
of sentiment in that place within The las'
nine months, the names of some of thf
men-known as prominent secesslonists,
who call on ex-Governors, eX-Gencralsr
ETC., whom John w. Forney, the propric-
tor ofthe PHILADELPHIA Press and Washing,

"Chroniclo Southern Land Agency" is
plotting through the South at present, OIL
prospecting expedition. According to
this writer, RAIDS and rebs-callcd, and in

This is specimen of the talk we get
from superficial Observers and parties who
have their interests to serve in rose-color'
ing everything concerning the South. Nc
doubt an Improvement is going on; but
to cite as proof of the degree it has at
tanned a pleasant meeting between two
parties which, for the time being, agree tc
keep silence on all subjects upon which
they can be unpleasant; and the avowed
object of whose meeting is the profit Of
! both, direct or indirect-the one represent
ing lands seeking money, and the other
/
money seeking lands-proves, rather, the
shallowness or charlatanry of the writer
As logical would it be to conclude
that every tavern-keeper the Northern
party stopped with, at the different points
en- their journey, had suddenly onoeived
love for them all, because he attended
on them and provided for them. "Tht
devil is good when he ispleased."
( happen to know something about this
Southern conversion, both from the testi'
mony of Northern men and women who
reside in different portions Of the South
aud who have experienced where Of they
do testify, and from "a little observation Of
my own in Virginia, within a hundred
miles Of Washington. The change ex,

The feeling and sentiment are as sectional
