so far as they may be understood to ap-
ply to the whole South. The under
signed, all Northern men by birth and
education, bsye, since the war, purchased
homes and settled, some in Pittsyivania
county, Virginia, and others in Csswel
and Rockingham counties, North Carroll
na, and many of Us are Republicans and
regular readers and subscribers to the
Tribune. We have reason to believe
that q large number of our Northern
friends earnestly desire TO emigrste 10 the
South, supply themselves with cheap
lands, and enjoy this charming climate;
and we fear thar they may be dsterrsd
from doing so by the publications to
which we have referred. II is for this
reason We request the insertion of this
letter in your paper, in the hope
that such other papers In the
North as desire to do justice to every por-
ton of the country will give it circula-
ton. We can say, in truth, that not on
ly persons and property are safe in the
sections of Virginia and North Carolins
in which we reside, bat that we never
lived In a more orderly or law-sbiding
community. We have been kindly re
ceiVed by the entire people; our inter
course with them has been In all
respects "a agreeable as we could have
desired. We have seen no disposition to
mistrust or even slight us on account of
our polities-on the contrary, we have
uniformly been treated with civiiity and
respect by every one with whom we have
come in contact. 1t is but an act of jus.
tice to ourselves and to the people living
in the States of our adoption that we
should say what we have said, and we
trust that you viii give il place In your
paper.

1t is stated that many Of these gentle
men who thus testify as TO the quiet and
order that prevails in the South, are Rad
icals. What they say of Virginia and
North Carolina viii apply with equH
force to every other State in the Sonth.
Northern men all through the South who
have settled down as these gentleman
have, bear similar testimony as to the
people among whom they live. But all
this amounts to nothing with Grant and
his Radical cohorts, who are preparing
to carry the South in the next election
at the point of the bayonet if necessary.
