Revival Of Trade with the South.

1t is a very gratifying evidence that the
people of the South are beginning to bend
their energies to the pursuits of peace and
the development of their rich resources,
that the trade of our merchants with that
section of the country has greatly increased
this fall. For almost every class of mer-
chandise the orders have been larger and
the quality of goods better than for many
years past, and there seems to be an un-
wonted ability and readiness to pay cash or
ask for only very short credit. Actual IN
v~estigation shows that the increase in BUSH
ness with the different Southern States va
ries from 25 to 80 per cent. Of the whole
amount for past seasons.
This, of course, contributes to the pros.
perity Of our own city, but that is the
smallest of our causes for congratulation.
What is of far greater Importance, it gives
evidence Of returning prosperity in the
South, and renewed commercial relations,
which are always friendly and mutually
North. The goods furnished for the use
of the negroes, too, are of a less fimsy
and snowy, and of o more substantial
character, which shows that they are i'm
proving in judgment and stability of char
acter.
Not only does the demand for more and
better merchandise evincea growing pros
perity, but the call for agricultural imple-
ments and machinery shows that tho peo-
pie are earnestly at work establishing their
industries upon q solid basis. Nothing
could be more gratifying than these indi-
cations that the people of the South
are forgetting those things which are
behind and pressing forward to take
their part in ~upholding the general interests
of the country, and assume their proper
place as valuable and valued citizens. It is
to be hoped that all breaches will soon be
healed, old prejudices and harsh feelings
will have passed away, and that the whole
people Of the Union will be working in
harmony to promote the prosperity and
greatness of our common country.-Neao

HERNDoN, October 30, 1872.
" ts Rditor Of State Journal:
We have had, in this section, three days
of successive rain-the most that has fall
len for many years-at least four or five
inches deep on all the surface-flling
streams and ponds. 1t has interferred with
the meetings to some extent, but blessed
the farmers. Notwithstanding, quite a num-
Der of people gathered at Herndon, and q
counsel was held among friends to press
the campaign. A. j. Downing, ESQ.,, of
the Treasury Department, and president of
the club here, is making earnest efforts to
see that all voters are registered and out to
the polls. Mr.. Downing has a fine small
farm handsomely located, and is making
good improvements. At this place Messrs.
Clark and Hindle have q steam saw-mill,
spoke and shook factory, doing good BUSH
ness.
At Drainesville and Vienna the work of
registering is going Of lively, notwithstand-
ing the rain and mud. Improved farming
is being introduced in this region with
Northern immigrants.
AT Alexandria the work is actively
pushed forward. Hon. Edward Z. White,
collector of revenue, is making %judicious
efforts in the campaign.
Last night an earnest and intelligent Re-
publican meeting was held in Sarepta Hall,
Alexandra, the room being crowded with
attentive listeners, including many of the
first-class business men among the Con-
servatives and Liberals. Clarkson's band
gave spirited music for the meeting.
Hon. Edward E. White, the chairman of
Congressional committee, presided, and in
troduced the speakers with appropriate re-
marks.
The first speaker was J. w. Douglass,
commissioner of internal revenue. He
dwelt particularly on the financial affairs
of the government, giving a lengthy expo
position of them.
He was followed by General M. d. Leg
gett, commissioner of patents, who, among
other things, spoke of the rich resources of
Virginia, and their need of development ;
paying an earnest tribute to the claims of
the Congressional candidate of this district.

The Allan line steamer Hibernian,
arrived at Norfolk Sunday morning. She
landed 81 saloon and % steerage passen-
gers. Twelve of the former will remain
in Virginia. The greater portion of the
steerage passengers go to Tennessee and
Louisiana.
A steam boiler at Graves shIp-yard,

halyards of the Grant and Wilson pole at
Fairfax Courthouse were cut and carried
away by somebody on Wednesday night

THE GRANITE CoNTRACT.--The tenn
porary suspension Of a portion of the stone
cutters ct the Government Granite Works
on the south side of the James river has
given rise to many rumors in connection
with the affair. We are enabled to state,
on authority, that the suspension of por-
ton of the force is owing to the inability
of the force at the q~uarries to furnish stock
in sufficient quantities to keep the seven Or
eight hundred cutters employed. 1t is be-
lieved that the suspension will be only tenn
porary, and that the capacity of the quar-
ries will be speedily increased.

ANOTHER REMEDY FOR EPIZooTIC
TNFLUENZA.-An English gentleman Of
New York states that the horse disease now
raging is not uncommon in England, where
the mode of treatment is very simple and
effectual. Sulphur is used as a prophylac-
tic and is a certain cure. A few ounces Of
common sulphur are burned in a pan Of
Goals five or six times daily in the stables,
so that every part shall become fnmigated.
The animal at the same time is well cared
for and blanketed. This simple remedy
never fails.
