I>i:au Hrothf.r—Viy visit to our
oUI birtii-pUee has been unexpectedly
delayed, which, however, has given
me good oppert,minet? tor obsrrv.itioii
and travel m duly re ui sections.
I lie changes siuce we were last lutc
are many, and now that those changes
were caused by the movements of the
<wo great armies lately in conflict make
u more interesting to those who, like
ourselves, were familiar with every
section. tSo visibly lias the track of
dilution and rum left (heir traces, that
tins generation and the next will find
mev.-ry pile (drum, tree and hill,
marks upon which to base legends of
deeds of bravery and seli-sacnlicmg ;
devotion upon the part of those engag -
ed in the hue great struggle.
I lie w r* in its progress and results,
swept out of existence the property in
slaves which constituted a very Urge
portion of the wealth nt the people as
well ;.s a very large amount ol other i
personal property; and at thy same
time annihilated the only currency
which had circulated lor more Uian
three years, together with all stocks
and securities growing out of the war.
Hie people made large investments,
which were all destroyed or so impair
ed as to he almost valueless. Nothing
was left then except their lands, which,
! >r want ol ehicicnt laiior, and in many
large districts for the want of stock,
agricultural implements, buildings, &e.
cannot be successfully cultivated.
Und r such depressing circumstances,
money is nee satiny very scarce, and
in many instances, great sullermg has
been experienced since the surrender
of General l,te. .Many sold thir
foms for what they thought were fabu
lous prices, in (.'oniederate money.—
Manv invested largely m slaves, arid
Install. Many who were raised in
weaitn and aril lence, are now penniless
auo laborers lor a support. The farm*
ers everywhere ate uusy recousti ucl->
mg iiouses, lences, mills, bridges. &e,
destroyed by the armies, as best they
can. Ine t>ute Legislature' lias pass

Great pr *pan i 0.8 are being ir.a lc
for raising crops the present year, and
should they fail the country would be
deplorable indeed.
But notwithstanding the sore afoie*
tion and adversity of thD people,
pictured above in such and irk colors,
they are “old Virginias” still. The
same hospitality that characterised
them in former days is predominant
stiil, to the extent ot their ability.

They fought the fight as best they :
■could. and many, many gal atw son*
have fallen, but they have laid down
their arms and are satisfied with thetr
fate. They have done this in good
faith, relying implicity upon the Exe
cutive for an equal distribution of jus
tice under the laws of the Union.
Richmond, with its burned wall*
and mass of ruins, presents a spectacle
terribly grand. Many ol the largest ■
warehouses were stored with millions j
ol dolla ** worth of tobacco, cotton,
etc,, belonging to citizens —all lost.
The scene recalls the famous burning
ef Moscow bv Napoleon.
Petersburg is surroUnDd with ons
continual network of fortiheatmsia,
which unquestionably were proof a- j
cainst all attempts at assault. It seem* 1
to me even difficult for a single foot
man to wind his way through the va* j
r:ous defenses, such as pit holes, rifle ,
pits, torpedoes, spikes with sharp P
points extending with little streets for ■.
sharpshooters to pass to and fro - In P
fact, every eoni-eivable space was filled 1
with something to obstruct the charge
ol the enemy. In every direction you £
will seesometihing which will inter-'
est the traveler. The killed were bur. <■
ried in shallow .graves* and their skulls -
and hones were washed up by the ■
freshets since the war, and are now ex- .
posed to view. £
