The Daily Dispatch: April 6, 1864., [Electronic resource], The city of Richmond. (search)
Richmond. --The Charleston Courtier has an article on Richmond, from which we take the following extract: Richmond has been taken, destroyed, and a new city built on and over its rules. The Richmond of old; the site of residences of gentlemen, of elegant hospitalities and social virtues, with the combined advantages and virtues of city and country life and culture; this Richmond has been taken and destroyed, and on its ruins has been erected a new Richmond, after the moral model of Sodom and New York and Washington. Great and good old Virginia mother of States and statesmen, has done and suffered guelf for the Confederacy, and has suffered much from the Yankees, but the severest blow she has yet received was the invasion and occupation of the Confederate Congress; and the transformation of her Richmond into a Confederate Metropolis. Alabama, Georgia, or any State further South, would and could have endured such occupation and transformation with less injury on account of t

the re-election of that person to the Presidency, on the ground that he is the best representative man of the average masses of the American (Yankee) people. There are various classes of human being in that heterogeneous compound, but, taking the average, the allegation of the Lincoln journal is probably not wide of the mark.

These men are not politicians; they have never dabbled in that miry pool, but they are educated gentlemen, who would be an honor to any country, and have always been not less the enemies of fanaticism than the champions of virtue, morals, and

A contemporary remarks, what every one knows, that if we are subjugated by the Yankees, Confederate money will be worth nothing; and yet the very men who wear the longest faces, and talk the most despairingly, are trying to feather their nests with what — according to their doleful croaking — is the merest trash.--Now, on the principle that "actions speak louder than words," these gentlemen are really more hopeful of Southern success than any other class of our citizens, for it is inconceivable that they would so greedily snatch at "the last dollar" within their reach if, in the end, they believed their gains would turn to ashes, like Sodom's apples, in their well-filled pockets. They decry the "trash," as they call it, hoping thereby to facilitate its transmission from others' hands into their ow
