about six o'clock in the afternoon, at. New

Nor is this remarkably rapid reconstruction
merely upon paper. It; is a rear and vital
certainty The Southern peopb ' are anxious
for it and acquiese in.it. So far from the
abolition i of slavery becoming a stumbling

naturally expected, the majoriJy'of the South

thousands of men could be seen running in
all directions, with one or two sacks of flour,
a box of caudles, a! bundle of clothing, or
anything that suitedl them. One man, who
witnessed the scene " remarked -that " it was
stealing on the grandest scale everke dreamed
of. A, band of ruflljlni of a huDdrcd or two
would assist in clearing a store of its contents
and land them nt al safe distance ' from the
burning buildings, when at the word "ready
each man, would, seize &a 'much as he could
carry dud make'off with t. It was, a perfect
revel of larceny. One of our merchants
w.'.b had a large lot If flour stored there, had
succeeded in removing it out of the way of
the fire but had to go to thestore for a few
minutes, fouud, on Ticturping to his pile, that
