TO THE SOUTHERN pEopLE.

We copy the following well-timed and
sensible remarks from the Washington
Chronicle of yesterday, especially adj
dressed to the people of the South. We
asast every Virginian who feels an interest
in the future welfare and prosperity Of the
old Commonwealth will take these words
home with him, and give them careful con-
sideration @ H
sslaWhy should the Southern people allow
General Grant to be reelected President
without their votes? He must be blind
indeed who cannot see that the Republican
party, under its present leader, is destined
to triumph next year. If there was no
other certainty of this destiny-if the policy
of the general administration was not in
.itself triumphant the utter decentralization
sSf the Democratic party would be sufii-
scieat. Taking the two great States of
OhiO and New York for examples, it is
evident that the Republican party only
needs to stand united and let the work Of
aisintegration go on in these States.
"The revolt against corruptions in Tam
mary Hall is no less thorough and earnest
than that against the maladministration of
the party in Ohio. The Germans, hereto-
fore the strong guard of Democracy, de-
mand revelation of the secret accounts of
Mayor Hall and his confederates, and
threaten revolution, while large portion
of the native population see that their only
rescue is in the defeat of the men who have
so long ruled and ruined the Empire city.
an Ohio all our information tends to show
rtle defeat of the Democratic party by an
tol6 John Brough majority. Why, there
tfore, in view Of these striking Indications,
SHOULD the people of the Southern country,
sso,deeply interested in preserving the pre-
,sent national prosperity, allow themselves
ito he used by the Democratic leaders 4?
Why yaot make virtue of necessity, and
prove to The Republican party and to the
administration OF General Grant that they
have practically and honestly accepted the
situation?
"No calamity so serious could befall them
as the overthrow of the present Republican
policy. Struggling, as they are now, fol-
new railroads, for manufactures, for immi-
grafton, they cannot certainly look for help
from party which is opposed to all these
great interests which has never yet au'
.thoritatively submitted to the value of oul
great circulating medium-which to-day
insists upon impugning our national securi
ties and ridiculing the attempt to reduce thu
national debt-which in one section favors
repud alton, and in another opposes t.
which has no record so direct and so cleal
as that of free trade, which, once estab.
sished, must cover the South with new de
fnoralization--an which, at this moment
is regarded as the representative of anarchy
and confusion. 1fE qfif
'There is no portion of the Democratic re
cord, ante-bellam or since the war, which
is not warning to the Southern people

tore them into shreds, completely destroy

shovels and tongs, &C., which were pro-
fusely scattered over the floor. Twas well
his dogship was not in china or picture

by giving him whack or two with his
walking cane. faF .9

! Broad Street and the Fredericksburg
Railroad.- Laube, member of the
last City Council and the owner OF consid-
cradle real estate on west Broad street,
asked the Council to take such action as
would insure the removal of the track, and
prevent the running of locomotives of the
Fredericksburg railroad along Broad street
to its present depot, corner of Eighth and
Broad. 'i
In this matter, the principal opposition
came. from Mr.. Wynne, then, and still q
member Of the Conncil. His opposition
was overcome by majority of the Council
fayoring Mr.. Laube's proposition, and an or
der was made requiring the removal of the
track, &C., by the lst of January next. At
the first meeting of the present Council, an
order was made revoking the action of the
old Council, thereby permitting the railroad
company to use Broad street for their pur-
poses without limit of time.
Being ignorant of the contract between
the railroad company and the city, or of the
terms by which they hold the right of way
along Broad street, we are not disposed to
censure the action of the present Council
for revoking that of their predecessor but
we do consider it the duty of this body to
carefully and impartially consider the petit
tion and claims of citizens of Broad street,
whose properties and rights are so seriously
affected by the passage of this road along
the principal thoroughfare of Richmond
Sooner or later, this street will be cleared
of this nuisance, and it becomes as much
the duty of the present Council to consider
the subject as it will be that of any which
may succeed, it. Let the members of the

The Fire Last Night--B,onng Of the
Consot Of the "VVginia Dare. For a
number of years, persons passing up and
down James river, have been attracted by
the skeleton of large vessel lying on the
Chesterfield side in an unfinished condition.
Yesterday afternoon, about o'clock, she
was discovered to be on fire, which attract
ed to the hills ON the opposite side large
crowds of people. She continued to burn
until IL O'Clock last night lighting up the
Heavens for many miles around. Our citi-
zens were surprised seeing the light of an
immense fire SO close, at the silence of the
fire alarm bells. The cause of their silence
is discovered in this article.
In 1859 or go, a company Of wealthy
gentlemen of this city formed themselves
into an association, under the style of
"The Richmond and Liverpool Packet
company" for the purpose of carrying on
direct trade between this city and Liver
pool, England. ~ wee,
The necessary capital having been sub
scribed, Messrs. John Purcell, David j..
Burr and William G. Paine were appointed
an executive committee to build and equip
two vessels for the purpose indicated by
the association. Their efforts succeeded in
the completion, in Baltimore, of the 'ssVir-
ginia Dare" one of the vessels to be owned
by the company. The war breaking out
soon alter the completion, her owners, de-
termined to send her to Liverpool, from
which point she made several successful
voyages to the East Indies. She was finally
sold to company of Liverpool capitalists,
at rermunerative price. We are unable to
ascertain what has become of the "Virginia
Dare.n The unfinished vessel burned last
evening was to have been the consort of
the Dare.
The war prevented her completion. At
ITS close, everything was SO prostrated,
the company determined not to finish. this
unnamed sister of the ''Dare." She was
sold to and purchased by John j. Abra-
hams, ESQ.,, prominent ship-builder of
Baltimore, to whom the company was in
debted for work done upon the l'sVirginia
Dare." No work was ever done upon this
vessel after her purchase, but she was per-
mitted to lay idle, the wonder of the thou
sands who annually pass up and down our
river.
There is no doubt the fire was the work
of an incendiary perhaps some mischiev-
Gus boys-who imagined it would be fine
to destroy this old mark of the enterprise
of past days.
But pile of ashes remain to mark the
spot, where, for SO many years, rested in
idleness the unnamed consort of the "Vir-
ginia Dare"
