Letter from pichmo nd.

RIcH1oSp, Va, March 10, "a.
To The Editor Of the Sentinel:
DEAR Sir Surprising letter from Rich
mond would ut least be acceptable, will try
and give yon something of interest.
The weather has been terrible, in conse-
qnence Of which everything has been very
backward so far, (fur Spring j and MS far as
police items are concerned, they seem to have
rIkemtIe mEsnre Of Spring and renpsed into
"stormy brcwings' and dark clouds" Yes
terday one OF the most esteemed citizens OF
llenrico county wns arrested on the charge OF
forgery, and sent to the Grand Jury, which is
now in session, for indictment. No longer
than week ago, the Collector of Taxes of
lienrico county ahsconded with about $40. 900
due to the county, and Notwithstanding that
every effort has been made to arrest him, he is
still Mt large, and to-day, again, whilst under
the influence Of liquor, a man shot another,
but fortunately with very little damage. ~
Richmond, notwithstanding The many draw
backs, of bad weather. &c, still looks like IA
very business place, and were you TO have
been here this morning, yeu would fully have
realized how great the Getty OF Hills is cv-
srything seemed TO have awakened and array
ed themselves in II new garb.
Our Tunnel, which has maac so much food
for the papers, is progressing very rapidly in
consideration Of the weather. The contractors
have shown themselves to be men in every
sense Of the word, and have been very liberal
ns to pay, &c, to their employees. Two shafts
have been sunk and the work on al, parts has
been commenced, in consequence of which pro-
perty has advanced considerably 10 that por-
tion where they are sunk. Houses which rem
ted for $50 per month, now bring $50 easily
The Stone-Cutting business goes on very
well, also. There are about two hundred men
employe ed, who get on an average 81 90 per
diem. The contract will last about seven
years, and will cost the United States million
u year.
Richmond, in my opinion, will do more in
the business line, after Spring has opened, than
it has done AT any time since the war and am
very glad to say there is more money ufoat
than at an, time since the war. In fact, every
thing looks brish for the future.
