Letter from Peters burg.
PErEasBURa, VA, March 10, 1877,

PETERSBURG, VA, March 10, 1871.
To the Editor of the State Journal.
Since change has been made in the
management of your very valuable paper,
/ hear many citizens Of this place speak IN
high praise of the same, and those who are
regular subscribers seem TO be highly
pleased that they at last have been able to
get hold of Virginia newspaper so full of
truth and valuable information. Yet you
do not seem to be as much alarmed as our
political opponents are at what they call
Z the Discrimination of the Republican
party of our country" Poor fellows, it is
to be hoped that the Enquirer, Wing and
Dispatch of Richmond, and the Iader and
Courier of this city, will not go mad with
grief over the poor, unfortunate condition
Of our party. Republicanism will take
care of itself yet awhile longer. Let them
save their tears to water the grave of De-
mocracy-in case there is enough left in
1872 to bury.
The substantial citizens of this city fully
endorse the course taken by their true
representative, Hon. 2. G.. Morgan, In the
Legislature few days since in opposition
to selling the State stock in the Richmond
and Petersburg road to the Atlantic, Mis-
sissippi and Ohio railroad, and what he
asserted as to some citizens here signing
certain petition in favor of the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio railroad under mis-
apprehension, and that they regretted their
action, is true; and it is not necessary that
there should be any further proof of the
fact than simply his word for it. Who APP
pointed the local editor of the Inder as an
Investigating committee ? Inasmuch as
the people chose Mr.. Morgan to speak for
them, and not he OF the Inder, let Mr..
Morgan speak as he is able to for " the
truth-loving' people of our city.
In our city all is quiet now, except the
little stir occasioned by the court now cit
ting. The grand jury has been quite
busy for the last few days Judge Mann
seems to think that whipping Is fine
thing for evil-doers. doubt if IL makes
q man any the better citizen to ipflict
punishment that is sure to disgrace him in
the opinion OF every one, and at the same
time destroy all the self-respect be may
have had. 1t is generally considered the
most degrading punishment now known
among us, and God grant that the day will
soon come when we shall hear Of it no
more.
The farmers and gardeners in and around
our little city are busy preparing for this
years crops. May they reap a bountiful
harvest. The Agricultural Society here
seems to be wide-awake to the best interests
of our people. "Let them go it while they
are young, for when they get old they
can't" OVER HERE.
