Real estate owners in the North arc availing
themselves Of the opportunity afforded by the
present cheapness of labor and material to erect
large numbers Of Lwellipg houses that they can
afford to rent a! moderate prices. The late
fall in securities shows that real estate is the
safest investment after ALL and if the Alexan
drians who have idle money are wise they will
follow the example of the far. seeing men of the
North and invest it in a similar way. They
will thereby secure it, derive from it a good
rate OF interest in the shape Of rents, and at
the same time help to relieve the prevailing
distress by giving employment to the mechanics
aud laborers Of the city, many of whom have
been vaiuly seeking work for a long time past,
and to whom the approach of winter, in their
present uuprovided condition, appears in any
other than pleasant light.

A Richmond correspondent of the Washing

"A hicnmOnu correspondent vi 'uo " Ao"''S
ton Nation says:
''The leading republicans here are much d.
vided on the question of call for convention
to nut State ticket 10 the field. They had
hoped that Malone would have been nominal.
ed, that they might have then had the pleasure
of supporting an independent candidate. Now
they are at seat, but will probably put up ca1,

Judge Reilly, also, as We stated Saturday,

be called the Administration ticket, and will
oppose all State Reputation, and demand nu

Now while the republicans 10 this section OF,
the State are by no meaus divided on the ques-
ton of call for convention to nominate State
officers, they arc in the condition Of split shad
with reference both to the Presidents Southern
policy and his distribution Of the federal offices;
and as they know that convention would only
widen the breach, they, as We arc Informed by
some of the leading men Of the party, vii! op-
pose any proposition to hold one, and entertain
only the torlorn hope that some independent
may run, and that by uniting with the few that
may be deluded into joining the so-called work
iugmen's" party, and inducing tho negroes to
vote With them as heretofore, they may be en-
abIed to defeat the conservative ticket. They
are not sanguine of the success OF any such
movement, however, but will support 1t as
the only possible means Of preventing what
their observation teaches them will be, at
least 10 the fall election, solid State.
Indeed many Of tho better class OF republl.
cans are so we'll pleased with the stand the State
conservative convention took on the debt ques-
ton, that having 20 candidate Of their own, and
being utterly opposed to the oommuoisic prln-
ciples announced at some OF the so.called
"workngmen's )" meetings, which must prevail
should that az yet incboate party become in the
ascendant, that If the combination alluded to
were made, they would not hesitate 10 vote the
straight conservative ticket. In this connection
We will remark that nearly all 0! the carpet bag
class Of republicans have left this section OF the
State, and we are glad Of the opportunity 10
mention that, so far as our Information on The
subject extends, the lato discussion OF the ques
ton of the public debt proved that no GLASS OF
the population Of Virginia were more keeDly
alive TO the States true interest, or more sensl-
tive respecting her honor, than those who were
born in The North, aud we hope that as most OF
the disturbing element has been removed, the
time may not be far off when all the citizens Of
the State, who have any interest in her welfare,
may vote together, no matter where they came
from, and that that question may never again
be asked
