VALUE OF LAND ABOUT LIVERPOOL.—On Wed-
nesday an inquest commenced at St. George's Hall,
Liverpool, before Mr. W. Aston, the sheriff's assessor, and
a jury of merchants and others, to assess the value of a
quantity of land, as well as the amount of depreciation, be-
longing to Mr. Edward Griffin, near Mossley-hill, Allerton,
through whose estate the Edge-hill and Garston branch of the
London and North-Western Company passes. Mr. Griffin's
claim upon the company for the land actually taken, as
well as compulsory sale, depreciation, and severance, was
between £14,000 and £15,000. The case excited a con-
siderable amount of interest, and a large number of sur-
veyors, land valuers, and others were present, including
Messrs. John Cunningham, Young, Scourfield, Leyland,
and Williams, who had been summoned on behalf of
the claimant ; and Messrs. S. Holnie, Picton, Culshaw,
Shelmerdine, and other gentlemen, on behalf of the railway
company. Mr. Leofric Temple appeared for the claimant,
and Mr. Horatio Lloyd and Mr. Littler for the railway
company. Tho jury having been sworn, proceeded to
Allerton to view the land, and on their return, after an
absence of between two and three hours, Mr. Temple
stated the case for the claimant, and called witnesses who
stated that the approach to a very large portion of the
estate had been almost cut off, 70 acres being severed on
done side of the line, and 80 acres on the other. Mr. John
Cunningham thought Mr. Griffin was entitled to £11,753.
Mr. Owen Williams thought £13,582. Mr. John Scour-
field, builder and valuer, thought £13,991. In cross-exami-
nation by Mr. Lloyd, this witness said the entire estate
was worth from £750 to £BOO an acre, which would be
from £130,000 to £140,000. He believed a person could
not do better just now than buy land five or six miles from
Liverpool and hold it for some time. It must increase in
value. He had had 3s. per yard offered for land further
from Liverpool than this, and he had refused it. Yesterday
the company called rebutting testimony, and the jury
awarded £6,750, being £3,742 15s. for the land actually
taken, and the balance for depreciation in value through
severance of the remainder.—Manchester Courier.
AN INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL JOHNSTON.—
Gen. Johnston's camp was a very plain one, scarcely
as respectable as a division general's in the Union army.
The tents were old, and scattered about without much re-
gard to regularity. The general's tent was a plain wall
tent, not much better than the rest. In front of this
General Johnston and some five or six officers of his
staff were sitting. On the lid of a mess chest near them
were the remains of a very plain frugal supper. Johnston
is a man of about five feet nine inches in height, rather
slight, but muscularly built frame. From appearance I
should take him to be about 50. Only that his hair
and beard are so grey you would not think him so old.
He is evidently a man of great reflective powers, schooled
y, combined with untiring
into
energy. th e greatest test
conversation s u bse r i e
isn so
natural, dignified, and
easy that you at once feel at your ease, though at the
same time you are conscious that he is reading your
thoughtsrefined ease and n lie possesses much of the
pene-
tration and firmness of a soldier. Ile conversed freely. A
solpegenanes book.of a
gentleman with the
remark was made on the hopelessness of the South con-
tending against the North with her vast wealth and un-
bounded resources, both in men and means. While this
war has depopulated and devasted the South the North
was never so flourishing, nor never had so large a popula-
tion. "True enough; yet we did not fail so much from the
want of men and means as from mismanagement. Had we
your Government, sir, the result might bo quite different."
Ho thinks the mass of the people will quietly return to
their homes and conform to the new state of things. He
was bitter on the murder of President Lincoln. " Lincoln,
sir," he said, "was a good man and a conservative man.
His death placed in power a man of radical principles—a
—Southern man—a man, I fear, of strong private preju-
dices, who will not try to heal up the wounds of the na-
tion. The scoundrel Booth was a hot-brained man, full of
a kind of tragic desire of immortality. He was no friend
to the South. If at any time such an act could complicate
the Federal Government it is not now. Even should the
President's death help our cause for a season it would be
sure to bring a curse upon it ; for never did a cause flourish
by assassination. All good men and true soldiers depre-
cate the assassin. I hope he may bo taken alive, in order
to come at his accomplices." General Johnston spoke in
very flattering terms of General Sherman's abilities ; but
was very bitter on Jeff. Davis—in fact, attributing the
whole failure to his bungling administration.—New York
