There will be much difference OF opn-

TIE RICHMOND DISASTER,

Tue people OF the South have suffer-
ed 80 much both during AID since the
war, that no right-utHded person can
look upon such an addiiiutai visitation
AS this without more than usual tel
ings OF pity, and desire to aid. If pos
sible, in the anne liorati0n of the misery
eaused by the calamity. The concln-
sion OF the war found Ric I'M md in
ruins and her people in poyerly, aud
setting aside all political considerations
the victorious North owes it to itself,
the South, and TO humanity to do all
that can BIZ done, not only towards re-
pairing The ravages OF the war and lay
ing the foundations of future prosperi-
~ in the late rebelllous Stat =, but to-
wards eultivatiGg Il cordial and hearty
sentiment Of friendship between the
Two sections of the Union. The polit-
ical controversies Ell the day have to
some extent at least sefvad TO intensi-
fy the bit er feelings excited by lie
war, aud many persons at the South
are still impressed with the idea that
they have nothing to expect from tile
North in the way OF kindness ell re-
spect. This terrible catastrophe fur
nishes all excellent opportunity for
such an expression Ot hearty sympathy
and regard as will convince tho people
of Richmond and the whole South that
In spite OF all differences past and
present wd are disposed to egard them
with none but the most fraternal feel
