Editorial Corr' -pondcnce cf lie Philadelphia Prett.]
Nonroix, V*., January 20, 1869.
The distance from Baltimore to ibis, the chief
seaboard city of Virginia, and at least the second
in the United States, Is two hundred miles. The
trip at all seasons of the year, with the excep-
tion of the hard winter months, is exceedingly
agreeable. We took the steamer at Baltimore
at ton* o’clock yesterday afternoon, reaching
here this monnng about six. With some expe
rience in steamboat traveling in our own coun
try, and a little in Europe—on the Bhine, and
coastwiaa from Antwerp to London—X freely
confess that I have never enjoyed a short voyage
more thoroughly than that on the George Iieary,
(the name of the boat upon which we traveled),
belonging to the old Bay lane, now owned by
Moor*,' N. Falls & Co. A more commndious,
comfortable and better arranged vessel could
not be desired. With room for at least
three hundred passengers, its appointments
are quite equal to those of the famous
stesmere on the Sound. The table last night
would have done credit to tho Continental Ho
tel—the fish and oysters delicious, good coffee,
excellent bread and butter, fine beef, and far
better celery than we get in Philadelphia, and
equal to that Of Washington, with polite and
qniet attendants—nothing was needed bnt
warm weather to complete our satisfaction.
The boat waa not crowded, bnt rarely have I
mingled with a more intelligent and interesting
people. Among these were Northerners, liko
ourselves, going South for the purpose of ob
servation; but the rest were evidently home
ward bound. I made the acquaintance of a
pleasing, well-informed ex-Gonfederato officer,
living in one of the counties of North Carolina,
near Norfolk, and found him kind and commu
nicative. The thought uppermost with him, as
with all others I havo met since my arrival in
Norfolk, was that of disabusing the Northern
mind in regard to public opinion here. In tho
very beat spirit, and in the kindest tone, he said
that the peoplo of Virginia andN. Carolina were
anxious for Northern capital and emigration, and
referred to the extraordinary natural advantages
of Norfolk and the vicinity in which he lived,
and the thousands of sores of timber and alluvial
lands near the water-courses which distingniah
this favored region. He showed an honest, if
not cordial, submission to the lode of the situa
tion, and pointed to the fact that the masses
were tired of politics. Wo conversed freely
about the characters and incidents of the war,
of Lee and Grant, of A. S. Johnson and Long-
street, about tho improving condition of the
public mind in both sections, and all this with
out the slightest reference to the negro, to suff
rage, or to amnesty. I found that, m common
with thousands who bad taken up arms against
the Government, he had set himself to hard
work, and, instead of repeating party cries and
mingling with party leaders, was carefully de
voting himself to the development of his own
property and to the humanitarian task ofcbring-
lng alienated sections together.
Norfolk has not disappointed my expectations.
It is undoubtedly one of the most attractive lo
calities for the investment of money and labor.
In riding through its streets today, I was not
only impressed with its extraordinary geograph
ical advantages, bnt with the manifest signs of
prosperity. It is one of the oldost cities on tho
continent. In 1680 an act of Assembly was
passed authorizing the purchase of fifty acres of
land as the site of the present town. Incorpor
ated in 1705, its name Is derived from the fond
ly of Norfolk, in Norfolk ocrunty, England. The
royal charter waa granted Ire King Gnorge II,
in 1736, and witnessed by William Gooch, Lieu
tenant Governor of Virginia. This royal chart
er conferred household suffrage on all the peo-
*plo of Norfolk. Previous to the Bevolntionary
war it was tho great market for sugar, molasses
stoves, etc. The original settlera wore exclu
sively English. The best part of Norfolk was
destroyed in 1776 by the British. It is situated
on Elizabeth river and nearly Surrounded by
water, fifteen miles from Old Point Comfort,
approachable by land and water. Connected
with the North and great West, it needs only
population and the wue and generous assistance
of Congress to place it in direct communication
with tho Pacific.
Aa an evidence of the spirit of the people, let
me state that the population in 1860 was 16,000,
less than that in 1864, and yet in 1860, as I
write, it is at least 31,000! Two hundred snd
twenty-five' stores and dwellings havo been erect
ed within a year, some of them remarkably fine.
The Atlantic Iron Works, employing one hun
dred and fifty bands, situated on a tract of land
adjoining the city, forty-seven acres in extent,
having a water frontage of 3,000 feet, of suffi
cient depth to admit vessels drawing thirty feet
of water, are under the control of n company of
which our friend Milton Cartwright, of Erie, is
one of the directors. Its prospects, and the fa
cilities offered for similar enterprises, can be
understood from the fact that locations equally
fortunate are to be had. The low rata of wages,
tho cheap price of living in Norfolk, the small
oost of transportation of material of this and of
other manufacturing enterprises, make this point
one of the most attractive in the world.
There are four national banks and three bank
ing houses, and yet the general complaint is
the want of currency—a complaint which seems
to como from every portion of tho South, and
demands the instant consideration of Congress.
The Bo rum manufactory of agricultural imple
ments is a vast establishment, showing that tho
people are beginning to turn their attention to
the production of the articles they have hereto
fore procured in the North.
Both in a geographical and military point of
view, Norfolk, with Hampton Hoads, at the
mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, as its lower har
bor, compares with San Francisco, inside the
Golden Gate of California, and possesses tho
most important maritime position within the do
mains of the United States. Its harbor is broad
and deep enough to shelter not only all the
ships of commerce but the navies of the world.
It occupies with tho exception of New York,
the most commanding position on the Atlantic
coast, and is superior to the latter in all the
natural advantages of back country and com
mercial situation.
Tho only reason why New York, Philadelphia,
and Baltimore, each in a position less favored
by nature, have surpassed Norfolk in their com
mercial success, is because they built railroads
and canals to connect themselves with the West
at an early day. What is needed to make
equal to any of these great ports, even to New
, York, is, as I have said, Northern emigration
and capital to develop its surroundings, and such
governmental aid os will place it, by means of a
comparatively small expenditure, in more direct
communication with San Francisco, by means
of the Faciffc Bailroad, than any of the North
ern capitals.
But I do not come here to discuss so much
the remote as the near future of the South. My
object was simply to inform myself as to the
■ present opportunities for Northern emigration
and investment—whether there is such a thing
as safely to the person and secunty to the out
lay of our people: and, although I was prepared,
from all I had seen and heard in W ashington. to
find a greatly improved condition of public sen
timent, I was not prepared for such a welcome
as has been extenddd to me by all classes and
parties. The first evidence is the presence of
numbers of Northern men in this immediate
vicinity—men from Pennsylvania, New York
and New England, attracted hero since the war
—all of them living comfortably, and most of
them earnest Bepuhhcans, and every one ex
presses the sama opinion, namely, not only the
extraordinary advantages offered to men of in-
. dufitry and intelligence and reasonable means,
so far as the purchase of real estate is concerned,
but that these opportunities are increased by
the fact that the native population are anxious
and even solicitous for their aid and society.
One of the first persons I met on my arrival
was William Underwood, who moved here from
Centre county. Pa., two years ago, and who is
will known to Governor Curtin and other leading
men in Belief ante—a strong Republican, an ear
nest member of the Society of Friends, and well
known in Pennsylvania as a sound and practical
speaker in that connection and universally re
spected in Norfolk. His testimony is as good as
any I could present. He has purchased largely,
and his truck farm near this city is one of the
most successful in the neighborhood. So well
convinced is he that this is toe spot for Northern
men and Northern money that on the 17th of
December, 1868, he organized a Land and Lum
ber Company, under a charter from toe Legisla
ture. This company own a tract of timber land
of thirty thousand acres, which they intend to
clear for emigration, firat cutting the wood into
boards, laths, and shingles. Much of this land
is already prepared for cultivation. It is situated
between Pasquotank and Tsttl* Biveis, elevated
about sixteen feet above the level of the Sound.
Entirely clear of sand, composed of a top soil of
rich black mold, varying in depth from two to
three feet, it is under-laid by a subsoil of shells,
clay, and animal deposits, making the earth
most durable and productive.
While there is a general avoidance of politics
among all I have met, it is most gratifying to
note that no Bepnblican abates his devotion to
his principles, or hesitates to advocate them with
manly frankness. When the subject arises with
the other side I tell them candidly that the best
way to secure universal amnesty is to devote
themselves to toe development of their substan
tial interests, and to make their Northern breth
ren feel that a Union man in Virginia is as safe
as he is in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
Let Congress and toe Bepnblican party be con
vinced that such is their real purpose, and little
time wi3 elapse before all men are voting and
acting together in the South in hearty accord.
“Politics,” said an ex-Confederate to me, this af
ternoon, “politics has been the curse of the Sonth
for forty years. Politics has kept us back in the
great work of progress ; has blinded ns to our
duty, and, finally, plunged us into war, and I am
sick of it, and dont want to talk about it.” The
tone of many of toe old rebel papers is very
greatly improved, and such organs as the Bich-
mond Whig and Lynchburg Bepublican are do
ing immense good by their moderation and plain,
bard sense. The Norfolk Journal daily contains
articles inviting Northern people to come to Vir
ginia and Bee for themselves whether the wel
come freely extended 1b genuine or not.
We have in our party air. John E. Parke, of
Chester county Pennsylvania, teho married and
lived in the South'for some twenty years.
Knowing toe people of both sections thorougli-
ly. nnd possessed of ample means and great in-
telligence, he is heartily co-operating in the
noble work of reconciliation and reconstruction.
I feci the benefit of his practical experience
every moment, and wish he could be followed
by many more men of equal substance and
k. J. W. F.
Industrial Development or the fionth.
Wo find the following editorial letter from
Washington to tho Bichmond Whig in Saturday's
issue of that Journal. The hopeful view taken
of affairs in the South by the writer is indicative
■ a good time coming’to that M-etioii of our
common country: .
This has been a busy day with me, and I have
boon placed in situation, and thrown in associa
tion with loading politicians, from which and
whom I have derived many ideas, facts, and
hints ss to toe future policy of the country in
connection with the South’ and Southern in
terests. It is gratifying to witness tho subsi
dence of that frenzy and bitterness so recently
and alarmingly exhibited toward everybody and
everything Southern. The fever seemed to die
ont with toe close of too Presidential election.
The motto of the successful candidate. “Let
ns havo peace” seems to be accepted as the
rule of political action, and to be tho animating
principle of all too contemplated measures of
policy. I find that in all quarters the opinion
irevails that the President elect will make it
lis firat aim to restore peace and tranquility,
and promote a feeling of unity among the
American people. This being understood there
is a prevailing desire in Congee to bejpn
with such legislation as shall harmonize with
that design, and tons pave the way for the next
administration and the new Congress to inaugu
rate a more auspicious era than we have hod in
the last decade. There is s manifest desire to
get rid of all disturbing questions between the
Northern and Southern people, and between toe
whites and blacks, by settling them in such a
manner as shall forever end them. If the rep
resentations I hear are correct (and there is no
reason to donbt them,) the chief solicitude of
toe Bepublican leaders in regard to such a set
tlement is to secure protection and safety to the
Union men of toe South, to toe negroes, and to
Northern settlers. One farther aim appears to
be to discourage, and, so far as practicable,
prevent the Southern communities from falling
at onoe under the control of those who were
most prominent in bringing on secession. There
is also a great industrial idea existing in North
ern minds in regard to the future of toe South.
That busy hive is full snd wants relief from re
pletion. It is looking eagerly to toe vast ares of
uncultivated Southern lands, and to the other
and varied resources in which capital and labor
may be profitably employed. They want to go
South, settle, work, mingle with the people, en
joy security, and be as free in all respects as
they are at their present homes. As soon ss a
settlement satisfactory to their minds shall be
mado, on the principles indicated, it cannot be
doubted that numbers of families will go South
ward to dwell, and became forever incorporated
with our population, and that vast amounts of
capital will be invested in Southern lands and in
all those various enterprises for which we offer
so desirable a field. Where will then be the
danger from negro suffrage?
In company with a prominent citizen of Vir
ginia. I, this morning, had a conversation with
Ooi. Forney, who, for some years past, has been
regarded as one of the bitterest enemies of toe
South. Our reception by him was not only
courteous, bnt kind and cordial, and he exhibit
ed in his conversation, as he has of late fre
quently done in his newspapers, a degree of
friendly interest in our Southern affairs, doubly
welcome because scarcely to have been hoped
for. He regards our James river and Kanawah
canal as a great enterprise of nations! impor
tance, and entitled to national assistance. He
is folly alive to its magnitude, to its value as a
national trade channel, and to the mighty re
sources it is destined to unlock and develop. As
he expressed himself to us, his “heart and soul
are in it.” He thinks that while the government
wUl hereafter be administered upon principles
of economy, and that while other sections of
tho country that have been greatly benefitted
by government money and grants,_and are now
in a condition to take care of themselves will
probably be left to their own resources, the
South should and will be aided—and that our
great Virginia improvements that have a nation
al character are deserving of especial considera
tion. I may say without transcending the limits
of propriety, that Col. Forney’s political
views in regard to the South are marked by
the same spirit of liberality. He is warmly
in sympathy with the movement now" on
foot here among our Virginians to bring about
such a settlement as will harmonize our several
classes of population, make the condition of the
whites tolerable, open up our industries, and re
new our prosperity. I learned from him that toe
land agency he has opened in connection with
his newspapers has excited a lively interest
throughout the South and North, and placed him
in correspondence with a large number of per
sons—sellers and buyers. On Thursday next he
goes, in company with a large number of gentle
men; including all shades of politics and all di
versities of occupation, to Caldwell county.
North Carolina, to examine a body of three hun
dred thousand acres of land. The gentlemen
who accompany him are large capitalists, and go
prepared to purchase, if the land shall come up
lo their expectations. It is covered by a vast
growth of timber, and their purpose, should they
purchase, is first to cut down the trees, strip off
the bark, and instead of shipping toe bark North,
t° P u t up machinery, grind the bark, extract the
principle of tannin it contains, and send that to
the market. They will then erect mills for sawing
up toe timber into the various marketable forms,
and send that to market. They will then divide
up the lands into farms, introduce settlers, and
engage in farming on a large scale. Is not this
a grand opening for our sister State of North
Carolina. It is to be hoped that Virginia will
soon be the theatre of similar operations.

General Grant and the Negro Delega
tion.
Our Washington correspondent describes a
recent visit of a Committee from toe Negro Con
vention now in session pt T7Islington to Gen.
Grant as direct, manly and comprehensive. The
negroes have the honor of calling forth from
the President elect what nobody else has suc
ceeded in evoking, viz: a declaration of his poli
cy, and that, too, on the most absorbing ques
tion of toe day. Gen. Grant’s words are few,
but they contain more than any speech or decla
ration heretofore uttered by him. They are
also dear and explicit—toe negroes understood
them, no doubt, and no sensible man can longer
question bis position. Gen. Grant tells the del
egation and their constituents that “they should
prove by their acta, their advancement, prosper
ity and obedienoe to toe laws, worthy of all priv
ileges the government has bestowed upon them,
and by their future conduct prove themselves
worthy of all they now claim.'
The dear import of this language, with that
which immediately precedes it, is that General
Grant is not crazy on the subject of the negro—
that he is willing to protect hun in all rights note
secured to him by toe laws, and that there, for
the present, the negro’s expectations most cease.
In the future, when they shall have proved
themselves ieorlhti, their present claims for ad
ditional rights and. privileges will be considered.
This is General Grant’s position, and we have
no hesitation in saying it is the correct one. It
will be approved by all considerate and right-
thinking men at the South, for we wish to do
all for the negro that he deserves and is capable
of using aright, and nothing more. Like Gen.
Grant, we think they have claimed some things
that they do not deserve, and that would be
abased in their hands; therefore, with the Presi
dent elect, before bestowing them, we prefer to
wait tit,til such claims shall be established on
the foundation of merit. No people an earth
ever made such rapid strides m the matter of
privileges as the negroes of the South, and with
what they already have, they can very well af-
ford to "tarry awhile at Jerico.” Wehaveknown
people by claiming too much to lose everything,
and just here is the point of danger with our co l-
ored friends.—SatannaA Republican.

T THE solicitations of many friends. I have BE-
DUCED the price of my “Plant Fertiliier” for
this season only, to SS9 per ton. for the purpose of in
troducing it to the Planters of Georgia and Florida,
and most earnestly desire to have it practically tested
alongside of other well known Phosphates and Fertil
isers. I feel assured that a fair, impartial trial will
convince the most skeptical of its superior fertilizing
qualities in the first. »o well as securing crops, both as
to activity and durability.
