Had it not been for the great staple of tobacco it is @ifficult to determine in what manner the people of this city could baye managed to subsist since the evacuation, ‘Without money, and with property destroyed, it 18 easy te imagine the state of hopeless embarrassment in ‘which this community was plunged after the advent of ‘Grant's victorious army. From seven to eight thousand Dogetiends of tobacco stowed away in some of the lead- tng warehouses fell a prey to tho terrible confingration, ‘and (hus was lost what could have been tho only avail- able lever in the recuperation of trade and the diffusion of money. Gradually, however, the country filled the , vacuum witb small but steadily increasing consignmen! » of the precious weed, giving employment to m® py and circulating among the needy the much dosired ¢ jy. roncy of the Unitea States, Bot had that imm onse quantity of tobacco escaped the flames Richmond * sould Present a different picturo to-day.

This impression, T mr ist admit, has some show of color in it. I have the ‘Da pes of over thirty men in this city, advocates of the BW sw idea, who, if all Tam toid about them be true, were f the most rapacious set of cormorants, the most remorse- lese Sbylocks that ever afflicted the communiiy of a beleaguered city. Confederate soldiers relate, wi unmistakable acrimony of expression, how, whem the Teport reached Richmond that Averill had destroyed the saltworks that furnished Lee’s army with its simple saline luxury, theee speculators bought wp every pound of salt in the city and raised its price twe hundred per cent, Other storios are told of the practices which prevailed among -the commercial class during the war—how poor Confedorate widows were turned heartlessly away if unable to furnish, for some paltry purchase, every cent of the sum demanded, and of the crippled soidiera who asked for bread and received a stone. In fact, if all that is re- lated of the rapacity and corruption which characterized not alone the community of speculators, but bigh and Jow officials of the Confederate government, be but one- tenth true, well might the people of Richmond exclaim, “The Lord deliver us.’ If the secret history of the commissariat department wero only written it would re- veal an amazing amount of the grossest fraud and bate- ness, Millions of pounds of bacon, biscuit ana other military stores filled the commissary buildings while tho piercing cries came up from Lee's famishing army for food. This may appear incredible; but the speculators and their official friends could explain why it was so, The Confederate soldiers are aware of all this, They believe none but men of the class mentioned are show- ing any anxioty to join the radical ranks and forestall jossibie confiscation, Suc. men, they say, are not con- jaed to the city of Richmond. They can be tound inevery county among thoee ex-slaveho:ders who at one time so generously passed a law exempting from military duty any one who owned fifteen siaves. The men who formed the.rank and file of the Confederate army are now poor, It is true they still call Northern men Yankees, not, certainly, asa term of opprobrium; but, take them in'the bulk, from the Potomac to Texas, and they form as traly loyal a body to the United States governinent as any equal number of radicals, But the term ‘“‘loyalty’’ is so twisted and tortured by the radicais hore that he who desires to return to his allegiance is bewildered to find a “loyal” platform to stand upon. Tho men of Albemarle, though they wrapped themselves in the United States deg and pagsed resolutions that should bave placated the hostility of the most uncom. can, fadicals, find themselves repelled at the very outset. They knocked for admission and wero told they were oh ge Se still, and that rebels they should still remain. Loyalty in this State would seem to con- sist in asking lon of Pierpoint, kneeling down before Hunnieutt, ‘and cheering Justily for Botts, Thus it is to Non ‘vars of'a prison celt at the pair of travellers.

It is almost certain now that the Albemario delega- tion and those others that have subscribed to the samo platform of uniting with republicans to secure recon- struction will bo admitted to the August convention. Governor Pierpoint, Colonel Lewis and otbor distin- guished leaders of the party favor a policy of harmony and conciliation, and their influence will assuredly break down the opposition of Hunnicutt and his ad- herents; but should it possibly occur that the latter succeed in carrying out their threat of excluding ex- rebels from their councils, what is now a compact and powerful party will find itself fatally dismembered. In other words, all the respectable whites possessed of any dignity. will secede and affiliate with the large bedy Of sincere ex-rebels under the simple name of repub- Ticana. y ‘ Governor Pierpont, who returned yesterday from bis speaking tour, feels delighted with the temper exbib- ited by the leading white citizens of the counties through which yet prone He was received cvery where with cordiality comes back ‘convinced that the re- a party with very little tact could win over to ranke a host of ex-secessionista, Nearly a dozen del from th@ northwestern part to Rotbing. rom a rebel, virtuous loyalty is 80 painfully sensitive.

Mr, H. G. Bond, Register in Bankruptcy informs me that the number of persons inquiring evory day for tho forms of procedure in bankruptcy is really alarming.

This tay arya ‘the wrath of the loyalist, and as, on inquiry, the Indies turned out to be “Yankee school marms,’? the joke lost none of its interest. It is to be hoped the respectable republicans of Virginia will see that the honest efforts of ex-rebels to become recon- struc ed wiil pot bo thwarted through the selfish designs of ignorant demagogues; whose sole aim is to control for themselves the new element of electyrs in the State and to exclude ai] who by talent and ability might endanger their self-constivuted authority, The impression prevails that, notwithstanding the ‘asaurances of Pierpoint, the delegates from Albemarle will be demed ad- mission to the Convention on the Ist of August. Should this occur it will do more towards breaking up tho republican party in this State than any other piece of folly they could commit, The extreme radicais may advocate this course of excluding all who are vot lnterally and figuratively dyed in the wool; but sonsible republicans cannot but bo aware that every man thus tol pte of Richmond trade.

Of the Congressional candidates in the other districts, there is not a singie conservative who cannot claim a constant Union record; while among thetr opponents more than one might be mentioned who left the rebel ranks when a further alliance promised unsatisfactory reaults, Of the gubernatorial candidates, Brownlow, like thousands of other loyalists who ro- mained frm during the war, deserves full credit; but his life-long, persistent and profane championship of the instituGon which directly brought about the strife and its deplorable consequences, should have the effect of tempering and modify ig insatiable hate and rage against the poor dupes he was the main instrument in leading astray. I have no word of apology for the latter day course of Emerson Etheridge, the conserva- tve candidate for Governor ; but his noble record during the early years of tue war should certainly entitic him to the lasting gratitudo of a restored nailon, Besides, although for some reason he ceased for a time to be identified with the republican party, there never has been aday when party considerations were not held subsorvient to his love of country and the cold flag. A pretty large proportion of the conservative candidates are ex-federal soldiers and a cumber of those Northern men who have scttled in the State during aud since the war, It is worthy of remark that among conservatives there is more liberality toward Norvhern men than is exhibited by Tennessee radicals. The rank and filo of the conservative are composed of the best and most unflinching Union men ia the State, Chattanooga ‘# swarm'ng with Northern men, aumbers of them staunch republicans, a great majority of whom are found in solid ‘antagonism to the revengeful and pro- scriptive policy of Brownlowism. The Chattanooga American Union, a spicy conservative daily paper, is owned and conducted by a number of ex-federal oflicers and soldiers, all of whoin are nationai repubiicans, and, per consequence, vigorous opponents of Brownlow. What I have written in this strain is simply designed to show that the radical party does rot absorb the Union element of the State, as has been erroneously supposed by some; and that tho conservative pert neat does embrace tho more progressive and liberal this a decided majority—of tne loyal white peopie of Ton- nesseo, The fact of it ia that the opposition to the de- stractive and malignant policy of Browniow bas become 80 wide-spread even among the origina! Unionists as to embrace all shades of politica, from the sturdy abo- Ltionist to the moderate republican. Under these cir- camstances it is ansthing but fair to class couserva- pNigh ma in Tennessee with the Bourbon democracy of the North. Notwithetanding the fact that a decided majority of the white qualified voters of the State would, if the clec- tion were to come off to-morrow, hurl Brownlow from power; yet, throcgh the agency of ‘Joyal leagues” and Other radicai agencies, five-sixths of the colored voters bave been drilled into voting for Brownlow, which tnsare a radical triumph ia the August election It be borue in mind that the negro vote foots upto about forty-five thousand. Brownlow will eurely be re- elected; nearly a full radiea! delegation will bo gent to Congress, while the Legislature—a full body is to be elecied—will stand, it is thought, fully two-thirds radical im either branch. ‘The question is often asked, why is it that Tennessee has become a sort of by-word for strife and lawlessness, and why it ig that the rebels here, almost without ex- ception, desire a military government in preferonce to Brownlow's rule, Tt ari: in pari, from the fact that this is a border State, having a ‘divided Population during the war, part remeining true to the old fiaz, the great majority trausferring their allegiance to the South. ern confederacy. The stritee and feuds engendered dur- ing the contest will not be healed up m this generation, The fact that the bitterness now ia malignantiy mtense compared to two years ago is caured partly by the ox. ciling political contest now gojng on, but mainly by the jatolerable acts of oppression and tyranny by the party in power, and the feeling of bitter r-seutment and op- fea which these acts naturally elicit, Woen Brown- jow first assumed the gubernatorial reins he was fairly idolized by every U: ist in the State, while tie rebeia, if they dia not love him as being a rey ntative Union man, at least paid him a fair share of respect, recognize ing bis anflinching devotion to the Union when the waves of gecossion were surging around him.
