| 4e'1 " 4ast' a Drand noT steamer landed al
Acqula Creek on Friday much Of tho ,naterial
1or railroad to SO hence to Gordonsgillo,
which road will traverse the country south ot
the hapidan, passing westward midway BE-
tween the battle fields Of Charlottesville and
hpotsylvanla. Northern men arc silently moy-
ing in al tho while, intent mainly on farming
and fruit-gTowing and the negro population is
doing the best it can, and the old white popu-
lauon Ii doing no Worso than NC could expect
GOOD AND EVIL sTArg INFLUENCES.
The immediate future Of this country is in
the hands Of the politicians OF the North, II
the negroes could only be authoritatiyely as
suted bY tho Republican party that they must
expect no favors but civil rightA,-no patch Of
land, no homestead, no mu1e,-and il tue na-
tive white could understand from the Democ-
Facy that both the new amendments to tho
constitution were beyond recall or peralyen-
ture, the whole willing population would 70 to
work, and the mischieyous drones would lose
the influence that they obtain by the present
l1resoution. The best agency for good in
Virginia ut the present time is the Methodist
Church, colored branch, and not far behind is
the colored Baptist Church. In both, frugali-
| ty, industry, cheerful citizenship, and temper
I ance are taught, and tho "First Families Of

ing negroes. They are in a fair w3y to be tho
legitimate successors of the Masous. Mali-
