Whit and Blacke—The Darkies’ Ideas of Their “Rights?—Railroad Consolidation Scheme, &c. : : Ricawonp, Va,, May 20, 1867. ‘The most active efforts are being made here to com- ‘me all the elements of the old whig and democratic parties ip one grand organization under t:e leadership ef Governor Pierpoint, to defeat the radicals in the ensn- tog election, Prominent gentlemen from the rural dia- tncis have recently had consultations with Pierpoint and Bis ‘wan Friday” Charley Lewis, his private secretary, wpon the subject; and all agreed that a combination of ‘ali the conservative elements was indispensable to secure dhe defeat of the radicals under the leadership of Botts nd Hunnicutt. The new party is to be recognized as ‘tho moderate republican party or the republican party— ‘the word ‘‘moderate” to be used only as explanatory of ms political status in contrast with tne radical organiza- tien, which also lays claim to that designation by a @ort of prescriptive right a The radicals count with certainty upon the negro vote, ‘and fee] sure of sucess otherwise than against such a combination as the moderate republicans are striving to accbmplieb. A union of that party with the radicals is ‘mpossible, for the reason that an irreconcilable antago- mixin exists between Pierpoint and Botts, the chosen Yeaders of each. Hunnicutt and the negroes are fully committed to Botte, and the few moderate republicans which have any “'s\ oetive organization to Pierpoint. Pasion would be ru © to the prospects of one or the @her; and the moderate republicans, feeling assured What the conservative or third party, in their zeal to ‘everibrow the radicals, will combine with them as soon @ they realize the probability of radical success as a re- walt of a division of the opposition elements, have deter- ‘mined to wage a vigorous conflict, If the conservatives fail to unite with the republicans, radical success is al- most certain. It will need a combination of all the op- Position elements to prevail against the solid unity of ‘she vegroes and their white adherents, Hgsace Greeley expressed bis preference while here for Pierpoiut as the next Governor, and avowed the be- Nef that hie election would tend in no smal! degree to consummate the work of reconstruction. Pierpoint’s high tariff predilections, as manifested in bis brief ad- @reas at the Astor House meeting of protectionists, has bad an unfavorable influence “upon the public mind of ‘Virginia. It would not be surprising if Botts, in his zeal ‘ overthrow him, would avow bimeelf in favor of the ‘epposite principle, which in Virginia and the other Southern States is certain to predominate. A low tariff, ‘which will follow as a consequence, will constitute the @ole principle upon which party combinations will be formed hereafter in the South. It will secure as mach ‘wnhy as ever slavery did. Upon it political success will alone depend, for it is looked upon in its relations to Southern interests im very much the same light ‘that slavery was in the past. Ina party agpect it is Fegarded as far more potent, for it combines interests ‘that are common to the two great and growing sections ef the country—tne South and West, It is thought, now ‘that slavery is removed, that no impediment stands in “the way of a union of these two sections upon that prin- distrust and apprehensions caused by the late mogro.riote in this city are having a very sinister influ- ence 0) trade.

From Richmond to Gordoneville—Appearance of the Country—Traces of the War—Sta if the Wheat Crop-Talk With a Negre—The Colored Vote—What Side Will it be Cast For, &e. * GorponsviLia, Va., May 20, 1867. The ride from Richmond to Gordonsville, over the Virginia Central Railroad, is at best bat very sorry tra- velting. Like most of the roads at present in the South, it has @ shpshod arrangoment of ties, tressels, culverts and bridges, united to an exasperating slowness of pro- gression in the locomotive department, that rendors railroad travel south of Mason and Dixon's line a bore to tourists ang a barrier to exploration, The Northern stranger, after boarding one of these Southern trains, is first struck by the interior meanness of the cara, for which, however, allowance can be made in the impoverished state of the people, and i9 afterwards less agreeably impressed with the harsh oscillations from side to side which keep his humanity in a tvrmoil of perpetual motion. Who will propose in Congroas the “reconstruction” of Southern railroads? might be the exclamation of one Jess interested in political theories than in the advance- ment of the materia! comfort of the travellang public. As the dirty and decaying shanties, that extend be- yond the depot and mark the limits of Richmond, passed from view the lubberly locomotive appeared to put on her every inch of steam, and make a frantic effort to excel the speed of a stage coach. But on and on, with Mechanicsvilie to the right, across the dismal Chica- hominy swamps, and away to Hanover junction, our train kept the even, lazy tenorot her way. Asif to make up for lost time she ever and anon, ip making a fresh start, gave a violent tug to the whole string of cars, administering at the same time an electric shock to the frame and fibres of each individual passenger; but no visible advance of speed could be detected. On the con- trary, as she approached ber destination, there were evident symptoms of exhaustion. However, this pru- dent rate of locomotion enabled me to see, with- ont being troubled with any optical illusions, the state of crops and country all the way to this poor but beautiful town, ‘After passing the Chicabominy fields of wheat pre- sented themselves stretching away to belts of timber at the horizon. Human habitations were widely removed, and those which showed themselves either standing near the railroad bolt upright and unsbeltered or peep- ing through green foliage from a distance, wore an air of neglect and poverty. Great straggling patches of wheat were of trequent occurrence as far as Louisa Court House in most instances bebe ope sown and sprouting feebly. In the neighborhoood of Wickham’s Station the appearance of everything looked more choer- ing, the soil underwent deeper depreasion and bolder elevation, and far as the eye could reach nted close serried ridges of green, bug full eared wheat interpersed with patches of woodlend. The farm houses look more thrifty, and the footprints of desolating w: were nowhere to be seen. Occasionally a dis- mantled fort that had done the State some ser- vice in its time reveated its quadrangular outlines. (barred and ricketty wood sheds blazed by the ubiquitous federals, and station houses, leaving but mouldering mementos of where they once s' marked almost the entire journey, Wickham's station seemed the most prosperous section of country on the line and the one which had sutfered least during the war. Hanover junction had a look of appealing starvation. The darkies worked listlessly on wood piies and the few white, looked rueful aud indolent, Occastonally a negro ‘woman might be observed hoeing a miserable patch of straggling wheat, and twice I noticed a white woman laboriously weeding among the short sprouts of corn. Two large flelds of tobacco lay by the route slowly ma- turing in the warm sunblaze, The general appearance of the country al the line was that of a thinly peopled, semi-cultivat though visibly recuperating section, At noon we came in sight of Gordonsville, partly sunk in a hollow and ly enclosed by railway embank- ments, from which there spread away in successively rising eminences greenest of luxuriant pastures, dot- pepe trees and houses, and forming the prettiest of scapes, 4s the train drew up by the platform, a swarm of male and female darki the tormer cracking whips, ringing belis and yelling for hotels, while the latter, vending all sorts of cakes and candy, surrounded the passenger cars. One unmistakable ebony, with a huge porter’s shield in front of his hat, ratued away to the delight of a crowd of woolly headed picaninales, enumerating the dishes in the dining hall of an adjacent hotel, winding up invariably with an ge “crabs, froga.’’ Approaching a sensible tooking ‘key, I in- quired if political matrers had been much the attention of the colored citizens of Gordonsville, ”’ was the reply, ‘dey’ve been dolo’ right smart intel “Wal, p'litical queshun ly.” “Howisthat?’’ re been at iain, and awganizin, and givin up s’cie- ties, and talkin’ wid the fast mon in ais yeré country.”” ¥ are the first men?” ‘Wal, dare Mistah Hunni- cutt; he come and did some right smart ‘speechification, by ht dar yon’er,”” “Did he give you good advice?” best, O de be best; tole us not to do a ting eee dat our reward would be someting big.” - you vote for him??? ‘Yes. ‘And all the black men?’ “0 yes; dey all goes one way.” on not vote for the man who employs you?’ ‘So I will do dat, too.” ‘But you said before Mr. Hunnicut,”’ “Dat’s traf, dat’s truf; yah, yah!” and here he fell to lavghing ai his inconsistency, concluding by saying, “Nebah mind, nebah mind; you see no one tells how de niggas vote yet.’’ The foregoing is an instance of general application to the as yet unsottied and easily se- cured favor of the black man. He may promise Mr. Hunnicutt bis vote in the morning and go with his em- ployer in the evening, and trom what I observe up to this such surmise will in tew instances be reve: From Gordonsville te Staunton—Beauty of P strings, &c., &c, Sravxrox, Va, May 21, 1867. ‘Three miles west of Gordonsville, on the way here, the surface of the country exbibited a gradual and de- lightful change from mere rolling wheat and forest land to ridges of hills clad in the brightest of emorald green foliage, through which the sparkling wave- lets of the romantic Rivanna shone with ad- ditions! beauty. Here, also, commenced the red land district of Albemarle running over broad round hills and descending to the distant base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Stripped of ite verdant covering the blood hued earth glared fiercely in the summer sun, and the eye felt relieved in wandering away to other and Jess irmtating shades in the landscape.

When we emerged J found, after a few readily answered inquiries, that his name was Captain Perry, formerly of Stonewall Jackson’s brigade, As we progressed on our journey he rattled away with a narrative of his own part in the great rebel chieftain’s campaigns, and though he often “darned” the Blue Ridge Mountains, he still looked with an interested and at times delighted eye up at the loity peaks and ridges where a hasty bivouac was often held in the stirring days of the confederacy. “Well, Captain, how do you feel on the turn things have taken?” “Can’t say I feel rejoiced, but I’m satisfied. 1 accept the conqueror’s terms, not as some do, against their grain, as it were, as if conscious of being still unwhipped, but with a hearty resignation to the change which I can- not help, and with a determination to work harder to restore than I ever did to destroy the Union.” “*How do you find the colored people working in your section (Rockbridge county)?” “Very well indeed. I have travelled througn Louisa, Orange, Albemarle, Nelson, Augusta and half a dozen other counties, and one thing has struck me chiefly—the wonderful good sense of the negroes in quietly adapting themselves to the new order of things, working almost everywhere as steadily as any other laborers, and educating themselves for citizenship— wonderful, really, in the niggera.”” “This good sense Rat hard ly anticipated would accompany their emancipation. ” “anticipated ! never.

Oh! our Deople are very poor, sir;” this was said with a sad and earnest conviction of the fact, Like thousands of others this once wealthy captain is now driven to the distaste- ful necessity of practising the most petty and rigid economy in order to make both ends meet. Itis the same all over the State, ‘here is no visible squalor and semi-starvation, but an absence of capital, of trade, of improvements, even of comfortable domestic living, is painfully evident, The captain had no doubt as to what way the negroes intend to vote. “They'll vote with us,” he emphatically remarked ; “the radicals have done'a heap of work talking to’em, organizing and forming what they cail a black mau’s party; but though the bigger may cheer the speeches, join the societies and appear to estrange himself aito- gether from political affiliation with his white neighbor, when the day for votiag comes just gee if he don’t go the way I'll go.” “Pnat’s conservative, you mean, Captain ?”” “Yes, conservative; there ig no other party among us.

Down in a green hollow, about a mile square, through which flows the coffec-colored Cheat rivor, abounding in delicious fish, is this little hamlet of Rowlesburg, envel- oped among the sharply cut ridges of the Alleghanies, If, before it was done Brown, a sight of Harper's Ferry, as Jefferson had it, was worth a trip across the Atlantic in a sailing vessel; if a trip from the Ferry to Caumber- land, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, covers the Most important events of the rebellion, in tha, move. ments of the hostile armies, it is equally trae that the trip by rail from Cumberland over the Alleghanies fills the celebrated Frenchman’s ideas of Niagara Falls—‘It is grand! it is charmant! it is wonderful! it is magni- fique!

Tho idea prevails in these parts to some extent, that the exemption of government bonds from taxation, while real estate is heavily taxed, is diverting men of capital from invest fhents in lands and internal improvements, &c., to investments in gov- ernment bonds; and this other idea also is afloat, that upon thie question in all its ramifications, there will be a reconstruction of political parties which will shake our financial system to its very foundations, beginning ‘with panic and general break down in the fall, As we left Cumberland this morning the mountains around that neat little “Mountain City’ were green to their summits in the fresh and delicate vordure of spring.
