An old negro leader named " Uucle Dick" spoke
as follows on the part of the squatters who have appro-
priated the land of white people near Norfolk, and threat-
ened to resist any attempt to remove them The In-
dians were the first owners of this land. The whites took
it from them by force; and we blacks took it from the
whites by force. They have no right to it, and they shall
not have it. We fought for it, and we are going to keep
it. We don't care for the President nor the Freedmen's
Bureau. We have suffered long enough—let the whites
suffer now. The time was when the ,—..
jvhu Wu] to do it. But the
times have changed, and I hope to see the day when I can
say to a white man, 'John, black my boots !' and he will
have to do it. I will never be satisfied until the white
man is forced to serve the black man, as we once were
forced to serve them. If they do not like that, let them go
away. We do not intend to allow secesh or Yankees to
drive us off this land, because it is ours. We fought for it,
and we will fight now to defend it."

The Union Pacific Railroad measures, like ships
at sea, by degrees of longitude. An American paper gives
the following extract from the letter of a traveller, who
thus, it says, describes the stately style of measurement on
the long reaches of railroad that indicate our national ad-
vance towards sunset :—" The common mile posts on this
railroad seem to measure insignificant distances upon the
wide plains. Only each five miles are noted, and when
you have passed between two of these the step taken
hardly appears like an advance. But there is one point
marked in a manner to suggest the distance which has been
overcome, and the gigantic charazter of the work. At a
point in the plain which otherwise seems as indeterminate
as the position of a floating log at sea, a wide, arched sign
between two strong set posts bears this inscription :-
100th meridian-247 miles from Omaha.' Here was the
terminus of the road only last September. Now it is com-
plete to a point near the 102 d meridian, and the distance
from Omaha is 365 miles. Thus the work moves on, mea-
suring its distance by the hour circles."

Steam has lately been applied to working Baxter's
California gang ploughs in California, where the lands are
more favourable for such a mode of culture than in Eng-
land. These ploughs operate with from two to six shares,
and with or without seed sowers and harrows. The
saving of labour will be so great as materially to increase
the production of corn in the Pacific States, if they prove
thoroughly successful.

A curious match lately came off at Boston be-
tween James Griffin, an American pedestrian, and a trot-
ting horse called Captain Magowan, for $2,000. The
horse was to trot ten miles while the man ran five. The
horse won, doing his ten miles in 30 minutes. Griffin
made his first mile in five minutes 281 seconds, his second
in six minutes 2} seconds, his third in six minutes 12
seconds. He gave in from exhaustion at the commence-
ment of the fourth mile, at which time the horse had made
61 miles.

A conflict of authority between Judge Tapley of
Maine and Secretary Welles of the navy, relative to the
discharge of some unlawfully enlisted naval recruits, has
been decided in favour of the former by Attorney-General
Stanberv, although the Cabinet had previously voted to
sustain the Secretary. The recruits have accordingly bees
restored to their homes in Lowell.
