The exorcism of strife aud tbe reunion of

ruling aim and desire of cTory man who
seeks to r s ><re order and prosperity, and
secure for the present and the future the
blessings **f good government, h»rmocraud

Tu : true mission of j<»urnaliam Is the ad -

wuh a high degree of satisfaction that we
ha** onto fee 1 how #arnes;ly our contempo.
ra iji of th# press have addressed them
a.-lvss to tha patriotic work wtiich now lies
be for* them in Virginia.
We must *11 Icod whatever Influence we
say have to the initiation of a noble career
in comim-ree, in lore’gn and lntereal inter
cou-s# aul trade. A common purpose
and uulty of action must actuate all. The
dear iiues of robway and tbe grandest ot
• I, our Jo g lino of watar communication
with th« interior, must receive timely and
aaraiul attention In connection with the de
velopment ol foreign and coastwise com.
merce and trade.
Four year* ago, wfcea tha unhappy tron
Me» arrested tha energies and capital 01
'the business iutnrest* of Richmond, she w»*
not ooiy contrlouti -g her power nnd re
•ourcaa to tae enrly completton ol tha lend
ing line* of tmle nnd trnral which centred
here, but with characteristic sagacity and on
terprlsc was seeking to atretch out such a net
writ of minor Improvements as her expand
ed arms developed the necessity for. With
■rater power, mills and machinery to exe
cute, it was no vision but a positive reality
that she possessed the power and capital to
manufartnre flour with a rapidity naequal
el by any locality on the continent. Her
trade in tobacco unrivalled, and no where
eacelled, was a daily Incentive to reavwec
etf'ort in securing from ail quarters of the
State this great staple and prepare it for
the commerce of the world.
The valley of the Jamca had, from the
time its forests give away to the onward
marci. of tha plough and me acythe, poured
down the marketabln truita of the earth—
and rich and valuable treasures were
sent In return. From the Piedmont ano
the great valley—tee southwest, and far
into Tennessee, trade and travel were sweep
ing ihgir course to the capital ot the Ola
Commonwealth. The cereals and the lea!
of the rich bottoms of the Dan, from its
course far down in the east, were alike con
tributing to swell tbo business marts 01
Richmon 1.
Our enterprising citisens, in observing the
result* which flowed from the vast sections
opened by the leading lines, could not fail
to be attracted to the rich and beantiiul val
ley of tue upper Roanoke—a country as fine
in all agricultural resource* peculiar to
Fastern Vlrgiuia as any in its limits. To se
cure this valuable trade the construction ol
the R *aooke Va lev Railroad was underta

FROM MACON AND AUGUSTA.
The Savannah paper*of the ttth inst. fur
nish some items of news from Macon anti
Augusta, which wo append:
Macon is quiet, aud the inhabitants appear
to be satisfied with tho present oroer of
things. Col. Vail has been appointed com
mandant of the post, aud Col. Ritohell i»
Provost Marshal. Some nights after the ar
rival of the Union troops, two fires broke
out on Muiberry afreet, above and brlow
the Lanier House, destroying several build
ings. .
atr. S.rari Rosa, the oldest <ditor in Ma
con, and a much-respecied cltfzen, is still
one of the proprieton of the Juunnl ana
3I«sstnj(r, which is a well-conducted sheet.
In tho absence of the ecitors a d pro.itie
tors of the Teleg aph and ( onfedtrate, tho
Evening News is issued from tlut ultice un
der Union auspices.
General Upton, ot General Wilson’s com
mand, with a small body of Union troops,
took possession of Augusta ou Wednesday
la>t. A force of Union troops were expect
ed to arrive on that night. General Young,
of the Confederate service, surrendered tho
city and all the public property. The Con
f derate trooos wero paroled and were leav.
log for their homes.
me Coutedcrate gunboats Macon, Cap
tain Keuurd, and the Sampson, Captain
Comstock, were also surrendered. Theof
deers aud crews of the.-c steamers were pa
roied, aud many of them have arrived in
mis city. CoiuiL'.dore Hunter und i_<miino
dore Tatnall are slid in Augusta. Uuiiug
ihe no: which occurred, it is due to sav
that the crews ot ihese gunboats behaved
most orderly, and obeyed every command,
except in <>uo Ins auce, when tho ottemicr
udvieu for his iusu -ordination. It seems
mat one of the crew of tue steamer Sunp
aoii, named Charh s P. Stanley, a native ol
ti g and, auu sa.d o lie a retailVu of Leigh
Hunt, tlie author, became riotous, and wh»n
advised to d si»t, resisted and struck Com
mouore W. W. Huuter, who immediate y
drew a pist-d and shot him. Stanier lived
hut a short time after having been wounded.
A coroner’s inquest was held ou the body
ot the deceased, and tho Commodore’s act
was pronounced justifiable.
During the riot at the commissary stores,
A. K. Bolder, one of the leaders of the in
surgents, was shot dead. Buhler was a na
tive of Augusta. No private property, ex
cept a icbitcco stoie, was sacked. Through
the exertions of Colo.iel i iser the riots
were suppressed, and his conduct on this
occasion is highly spoken ot. The mob who
committed the riots wero women and men
ot the lowest order, residents ol Augusia,
and but few soldi-rs were engaged iu it.—
Means have Veen ta*cn to punish all who
look part in this disgraceful scene.
Mors-, the editor and proprietor of the
Chronicle and Sentin'l, has had to leave the

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN TUE SOUTH.
The people nave been led to believe that
the war which is just closing would forever
put the detestei “negro question ’ nt rest,
as an element of political discussion. Hut
no sooner is the first glimmer of peace dis
ci-rued, than the politicians be^in to dig up
this apparently irropresnole question, with
a hope o. making it once more a subject ol
contention in the realm of politics. Slave
ry has btm sunk so deep by tho war that
the most persist nt partisan will hardy at
tempt to make political capital out ol ti e
institution; but tho negroes remain, and the
itleuieot of their stofui under the new
older of things is alfeady exercising the
miuds of party leaders. “ Negro suffrage”
is the successor of “negro slavery” as a
subject for political division. The radicals
c aim that tvery negro, from saddle color
to ebony, shall be entitled to tluf same
rights, With respect to voting, that w.-.ito
ciJzens enjoy. IN ev in>ist, also, that this
right shall be granted them in settling the
ques 1 ms of “reconstruction,” and thit it
s .all oe protected b} the mi.itary power.—
Un the other hand the “con.-ei vai.ves"
contend that unrestricted negro franchise
would bo productive of gtcai social evils
and that ii would be highly pernicious to
the iuterests of the South. Now the tru h
18, that neither paity takes the right View
ol tue qitesttou. Wo hold to tho old De
mocratic doctrine that the States have t. o
right to “regulate their domestic iusti
tutions in their own way, subject only to the
Constitution of iho Uuiied States.” Thee m
stituiions of the several Southern States are
valid ai the present lime', just a.sthey were
before the war. They havu not been abro
gated by the act of secession, nor have they
been repealed or changed iu a legal way.—
According to these mstiuments, uegroes
have n t the right to vote, but t 10 people of
each State have the power to amen t the
Constitution thereof, ami it theydesiic to
gra t ti e elective Iranchisa to uegroes, no
power c >n lawful }- prevent them. So tar as
this question is concerned, the Southern
State# to-dav staud precisely where tho
Northern S ates at one time stood. Negro
s tffiage was not formally allowed in New
Yura, but the people of this State decidua,
under certain restrictions, to give negr. es
the right to vote. The people of Ohio de
cided to let negroes vote who wero half
white. The people of Illinois, r.nt.l very
Tk cem v, a a u" — -
the S.ne at «H without ti. »* giving bonds for
i, sgo ,ii hehavio , winch of course am >uu’
edw prohibition. We ci e these casos as
instances showing that the people of a State
have the power to netenuiue whether ne
groes shall vote or not, and what the qnali
ticatl. n shall be. A State is supreme, with
regard to the regulations of it« own g'.Vi ru
mont, .o long as the e s no conflict w th thu
F« deral Constitution, and the p o^le b-ve a
perfect ngitto permit or refuse negro sm
frage, to make a distinction ot shade, allow
inz only the saddh colo s to vote, to make
a property qualification, or make a-iy other
regulations ol that character that they dceii
advisable. Therefore, it is a waste of time
for politicians to trouble themselves about
what should < r should not be done about the
question of “negro suffrage” in tl e South.
The people will settle the.e matters in their
cwn tray, just as the people of the Northern
Stat. s to, and it is lor them to say whetln r
negroes shall or shall not vote.—A. l.b’un.

AMi'SKMkKTs.—Sharpley’a Minstrel* are
still the attraction of the New Theatre, if
they mar be said to constitute an attraction.
Considering the grand flourish which signal,
iied the advent or this minstrel troupe, we
expected to And the performances credits,
ble, if not brilliint. In onr estimation they
are neither the one nor the other. Ethio
pian in Its character, w<- look in vain lor a
real, truo embodiment of negro element.—
The performances are stiff, and stilted. One
or two good baojoists and vocalists redeem
the troupe Irom utter worthlessness. North
ern managers of theatrical troupes must not
take up the idea, tbit because the Southern
people hav’nt seen anything genuine lor so
long a time they don’t know the genu
ine article when they see it. By dint of ex
traordinary puffing, and the lavish display
ji posters, lit only to frighten horses and
children, the theatre was filled tor several
nights, but whtn the performances camo to
stand the test of merit there was a woful
la’iing off, aud a nightly increasing beggarly
account n! empiy benches.
Mr. Ogden, who has gone North for a
stock company, will return about the latter
part of the week when the minstrels will
give place to other attractions.
Wray’s Combination Opera Troupe, per
forming at Metropolitan Hail, is drawing
good audiences nightly. By a skillful
change of programme, introducing some
new feature every night, the interest in this
establishment is kept up, and the manage
ment is reaping their reward in a plentiful
shower of greenbacks every night.
The Circus ha3 come ’ Who ha* not seen
the great posters, variegated in colors, with
the chariots and prancing steeds, and aero,
bat*, and riders.’ Children sleep uneasily,
and “ground and loity tumbling" tills their
heads. Anything under canvass takes now,
If it is oniy a pig with three legs, but when
the attraction comes up to a Circus, with
real, live horses, vaulters, clowns and

commotion it creates among the little ones,
and Mamma and Papa have to fork over
many a quarter and fifty cents to satisfy ihe
curiosity of the children. We say this
much in order to properly announce the
opining, this afternoon, of the great Circus
of Messrs. Stone & Rosston. The spot se
lected is the lot corner of third and Main
streets. Mr. C. C. Moore is the sgent of
the company.
Tno old Varieties Theatre, now the new
Canterbury, after London and Philadelphia,
loaded by Mr. D. Gardner, proprietor of ihe
Melodcon, Baltimore, and Canterbury,/
Philadelphia, is being torn to pieces in or
der that It may make a new appearance.—
Tne entire lront and interior arrangement
of the Theatre is boing clungcJ—new on.
trance, new seats, now bme?-, and new
scenery introduced. Nothing but the bare
walls will remain to indicate what the Tbea
tre was origins1!/. We have already de
scribed the character of the improvements
making and contemplated. On next Iburs
day, Ihe improvements completed, the New
Canterbury will bo opened by a Ural class
minstrel troupe, now being selected at the
North, and embracing Charley White of
Washington, Tim Mortis of Richmond, J.
i. Buckley, and a few others who have be
fore appeared before a Southern audience.
The troupe will, in ail reipects, be superior
t) any that has yet made its debut in Rich
mond.
Another Citt Express .—Competition is
the life of trade. So wo arc glad t > notice
the establishment of a second City Express
for the convenience of the pnblic. The new
innovation Is styled Sweeny’s Express, in
opposition to Gran’s Express, the existence
o^which we noticed on Saturday.
The depot of Grau’s Express will be on
14th street, under the Exchange Hotel, that
of the Sweeny Express will be on Wall
street, corner of Main street. We wish
both enterprises success.

- A Performance That was Not Per
form eh .—For anine time tho Theatre going i
pnblic have been kept on the alert by the
announcement of a wonderful feat to be per.
formed at Metropolitan Hall, and for threo
or four days, the newspapers and [day bills
bore this stari ling paragraph—“Mona. Keefe
in his terrific act, entitled “Eschelle Peri.
Hense, or Leap for Life.” Little beys s'ared
at the unintelligible announcement, ard men.
tally resolved to invent to the extent of a pit
ticket; older people simply shook their
bends, and hoped no human neck would he
broken. The “Jischelle Perilieuse,” a frame
work of iron, with circumambient rope
enough to hang twei ty men, appeared in a
prominent position against the ceiling, and
night after night the au lienee looked at it
and wondered when “Mons. Keefe” would
make his terrific ascent. Finally, Thursday
night was announced for tho first perform
ance ; and when the habitues of the Hail,
and the patrons of tht show had patiently
devoured all the acts upon the bill down to
“Mons. Keefe,” thoy put down their feet,
and esnes, and applauded with gusto, and
mingled with applause were cries of “Come
out Keefe I” “Go up Keefe." Where was
Keele t
Mr. Wray, the indefatigable manager of
the incomparable troupe (see Small billsj,
who don’t like to promise anything that is
not performed, came before the footlights
with that well-known preface to an apology :
“Ladies and Gentlemen-Mr. Keefe, who
was announced, &c., &c., being indisposed
this evening, (Keefe, in a drinking saloon—
“Givo me another smish !"] the terrific act
on the ‘Eschelle Perilieuse’ will not be per
Ibrmed." Then arose and swelled “cat.
calls" for Keefe, and “Keefe," “Keefe,"
“Keefe," rang through the Hall. Singular
that a selfish audience should insist on a
man breaking bis neck for its own gratifica
tion. Friday night was appointed for the
first appearance ol Keefe in his “terrific
*ct." Meanwhile, Keefe employed himself
In getting up steam and courage, in a popu
lar down town saloon.
Friday night came, and so did Keefe, lie
was going np on the “Perilieuse’’ anyhow,
if he did sacrifice himself, like a gladiator,
to make a Homan holiday, lie dressed in
borrowed tights, took ono or two smashes
m*re, and waited for Joe V\ oods to get
through with bis comic song and encore. But
when the “call boy," in the midst of the
tremendous uproar of the audience, came
to summon Keefe, he was gone lr^n the
green-room, t ghts, wardrobe and all. He
had ran away, with considerable property
of the troupe in tow. Tho plain truth is,
Keefe is an Impostor, and nover did and
never could perform the feats that prom,
ised the manager when he engaged him. It
may be that he Is trying to get up courage
yet by way oflaying hold of sundry “smash
es”; but we inclino to the opini n that he
has made his first and only appearance he
fore a Richmond audience, and that his great
“leap lor life" has been gently merged into
a back-door trot, to get out of the way of
the police. Sic transit.
Bibi.es and Testaments ior Richmond.—
The American Bible Society has formarded
to Richmond twenty two cases, containing
16,000 volumes of the Scriptures. They
are donated by the Society in response to
an application made by Rev. Henry S.
Kepler, Rev. John Leybnrn, D O. and Rev.
T. V. Moore, D.D. They are designed to
supply the destituto of tho city and State,
aad another invoice will soon be sent. Mr.
John G. B tker, one of the Society’s agents,
accompanies tho booxs to attend to their
safe delivery, and the Norfolk Steamboat
Line showed their usual generosity in ship
ping the boxes tree of cost.
The Steamers Emma Dunn and Fannie
are temporarily making regular trips be
tween this port and Baltimore. They will
soon bo snperseded by two fine side wlieel
steamers for passengers and freight, under
the agency of Jacob Brandt, Jr., ar.d
Messrs. D. A W. Currie. From the well
known reputation of these gentlemen, we
vonture to say tbst no pains or expense will
be soared by them in rendering this lino all
that c^uld be desired by the travelling pub
lic or merchants shipping freight.
The Steamer Fannie.—The steamer Fan
nie, of Baltimore, now running between
that port and Richmond, in connection with
the Richmond and Emma Dunn, arrived a*
Rocketts wharf, on yesterday, with a splen*
did cargo consigned to Messrs. David A W.
Currie, the old agents of tho line. This Is
the first regular consignment made since the
oprimig vi me
The Ste am™ Lapt Sterling.—One of
the most uniquo and beautiftil craft now
lying in onr water* is the gunboat Lady
Sterling, which formerly plied as a blockade
runner between Bermuda and Wilmington.
She was captured some time since, and i as
since been doing duty In the naval service ol
the United States.
The General Association or Virginia,
composed of delegates from the churches
of the Baptist denomination, will assemble
In this city on the second day of June next,
In the First Baptist Church. No difficulty
will exist in regard to passports, and mem
bors from all parts of the State can come,
and go at their pleasure.
Vessel Scn*.—The steamer Savannah,
on her upwtrd trip yesterday, ramo in eol
lisi- n with a brig, painted green, loaded
with Government stores, between City
Point and Bermuda Hundreds, and sunk
her. Our reporter could not learn the name
of the brig. Subsequently the brig was
raised and towed out of the channel.
RETCRNED.-Dr. Wm. M. Madura, em
baliner, has returned to this city from the
North, and will locate himself permanently
in Richmond, where he will attend to the
disinterment, and disinfection of the le.
mains of deceased soldiers.

caped from the Libby on Friday morning,
has not since been beard from, and it is sup

military authorities of hia whereabout*.
Thb Richmond Colif.ob.—The trustee*
>f this institution, situated on the western 1
mburbs, desiin opening it on the 22d of the ^
iresen' month for the reception of pupil*.
We hail thi* as another omen of returning
peace. Too long have martial sound* taken
;he place of college bells—too long have our
pouDg mm been detained from the pursuit
if learning by the spirit of war. This Col

It had a Faculty of six professots and one
tutor. The premises, having been used a*

rough cleansing and ventilation, and will

Judging from tbe past, we confidently pre
dict that a learned and laborious Faculty
will speedily restore tho College to it* for- (
mer sphere of activity and usefulness. Let
our youth avail themselves of even the brief \
period of two months to review their stud
ies, and thus be prepared to enter, with ad
vantage, the classes In October.
Conoress Hall.—This popular eating
house, which enjoyed such n high reputa
tion among epicures in Confederate times, ,
has bren revived by its proprietor, Mr. John 1
Mac Pherson, at the southwest corner ot I
Governor and Franklin streets, where the ^
same tamiiiar sign appears, and tbe aime
good cheer and courteous attention meet*
tbe guest. Mr. Mac Pherson was a heavy
loser by the great fire, saving absolutely
nothing, but he brings to his business anew,
the experience of tventy.tive years, spent .•*
in studying the wants and taste* of tbe pub. j
lie in tbe preparation of dishes. Tbe whole ! /
house is devoted to the purposes of a saloon,
the upper stories being fitted up for private
dining rooms in verv tasteful stylo. Com.
f.irt, neatness, and cleanliness enters into

sortment of wines and liquors is superior to
northing to bo fnnnd south of Baltimore.
Spxdat.—Teaterdny was a day chock
full of delightftil weather. The churches
were more than usually well attended —
The streets were quiet and the only topic
stirring calculated to excite interest or re
mark, was the capture of Jefferson Baris
and his party.
Cocrt OF Conciliation —This Court, on
Saturday, was occupied in the hearing of •
several cases involving landlord and tenant, ' _ i
but no decisions were arrived at.
The Court sits this morning at 11 o’clock.
