The strikers having condesceoded to allow
The business Of the country to proceed, opera.
tions on most, if net all, Of the railroads have
been resumed, and meat and bread are again
fiudng their way from the fertile West to the
crowded cities ofthe East; aud though food 10
the lately blockaded cities necessarily costs
more than it did before the riots, all fears OF
an immediate famine iu those cities have been
disspated. Coal, too, is ouco more seen 10
transtu between the mines and some of the
seaports, but it,also, has advanced in price. The
rioters nominally fought against the rich but
really against the poor for as the former buy
their supplies in large quantities they have
enough on hand to last until prices fall again, or
If not, can we'll afford to stand the rise;' but
it is entirely different with those who purchase
their supplies by the day, or, at most, by the
week, and whose earnings or savings are SO
small. that the strictcst economy has to be used
10 making ends meet TO rich man fifty
cents additional on a ton of coal and three or
four cents on pound Of beef don't amount to
as much as the cost of an extra cigar day. and
arc of no more consequence, but to one whose
wages barely supported bis family before the
riots, the rise th sc riots have occasoned IN The
price OF living 10 the cities from which tho
blockade has been removed, is 90 small matter,
as it must Involve lcsSening in some other
necessary expense 10 order that the full supply
of that greater necessity, food, may be obtained.
The strikers arc not the friends, but tho enc
miles, of the poor.

The election for delegates to the State conscr-

district in Spottsyvania sent Daniel delega.

another the delegation is divided between
Lee and Malone. Nearly, if not all the
counties have now elected their delegates,
but as the friends Of each Of the several candi-
dates claim more for their particular favorite
than the partizsns of either Of the others, or

The merchants and business men Of Evans
Vile, Ind, have adopted resolutions declaring
that tho cause of the general stagnation Of trade
is directly traceabIe to the policy of forced re-.
sumption through severe contraction of the
currency, and demand the repeal of the rcsump-
ton act; they also demand the abolition Of the
bankrupt law and favor making the silver dol
ar legal tender for all debts. If they had also
declared for free trade, so that ships could be
bought 10 the cheapest markets, commerce be
revived, and an increased foreign market be
created fer the agricultural products of the
United States. they would have formulated a
policy the execution of which would have len
dcd greatly toward the restoration of the bust.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
Fairfax c. H., July 2S.-Wc have good

and reliable men. 1t oontsins all the local news
Of the county, @ sufficient quantity of general
news, aud should be encouraged, as should all
home journals, yet there are those who will not
cvtn encourage homo industry, aud we have
specimens here.
The delegates 10 the eubernatorial conven.
ton at Richmond stand 5 for Holiday, 5 for
Lee, for Daniel and for Taliaferro, but If
tho people of Fairfax were justly represented
in this matter the delegation would stand 81
for Daniel and 81 for Holiday, making II 10
all, the number to which the county is en-.
titcd.
Our town is very gay this summer, owing to
the number of visitors here, among whom will
DO found Miss Ford, Miss Edriugton, and
Miss Moncu:e, of Stafford, beautiful and &c.
complished young ladies.
The young men Of the village and ueighbor-
hood will meet on Wednesday evening next to
make arrangements for tournament and ball
to be held here sometime in August.

obeyed with much better grace, and doubtless
be given with more regard to the visitors
feelings.
