THE TEN SECTIONS.

 Tn the Gazette of the 23d ult the public \ are notified that in consequence of tue l pripaie sale of the greater portion of the 4 fen sections ofland, there will be no public
 sale, as notified by the Governors adser- 3 tsement.
 2 This is circumstance much to be re- gretted for if public sale had taken ] place, the public would have known some thing about thc nature Of the eales--ibey would have known who were tile purcas- ers--on what terms the sales were made, and, possibly, have known whose improve ments have been disposed Of, te the entire destruction of the hopes of the industrious settler, who for years has been sweating and toiiipg 10 make comfortable home for his family. and sure support for the rising generation.
 As t IS, these matters arc profound &C., eret, known only to the Governor, Ashley, Woodruff, and the purchasers Of the land. Why this secrecy! Why are the purchas- CTS kept in the back ground Why have not their purchases been marked on the pIats af survey in the land office? Are they afraid to let it be known whose i'm proyements have been wrested frem the cultivator of the public lands, or do they only hold back until the purchasers shall have received their patents, when, with a legal title in their lands, and tic legal oficers by their side, they will dispossess from their homes many who now suspect not the evil which is shortly to fall upon them-when the labor ofyears will be torn from them, and they will be once more driven into the dense forest to clear n hab- itaton and shelter for their wives and children!
 Such will prove to be tho result of tie sale of the ten sections, when the particu- lars of that sale shall be made public. .- Many families who have encountered the hardships and privations attendant on clearing farm in the heavily tinbered bottoms on the Mississippi, in the fopd hope of securing a home at the govern ment price of lands, so soon as the lands were brought into market, will be com pelled to abandon their homes and yield Hp their improvements 10 some land spccn- lator, who, haviug tleir improvements in view, has given five dollars acre for their land, well knowing that so much of the land as ,vas improved, was worth five times that amount.
 Such will be the disastrous effects of the law of Congress, giving 10 the Governor the power of disposng of the ten sections, without prohibiting inc safe of improve mente.
 On whom should the odium of these dis asters fall? On the Governor, who goes the whole length of; the power with which he is invested, or on Col Seyier, the Jauhjiit Delegate of the people, who, for
 the advantage of few friends, prevailed
 nn Congress 10 make law the operation
 of which, in the hands of the Governor,
 will drive many worthy families from 3
 comfortable home, to seek shelter in the
 forests, from the pitiless storm.

NEW RAIL ROAD.

this the time for TO undertake it?
Its utility seems to be unquestioned. I'm CONVEX

gineer, Moncure Robinson, Esq. he specified this
road among the most useful TO the public, and
the most profitable to the stockholders which could
he undertaken i'm Virginia. Among the articles of
transportation, he pointed ont our coal-which
mIightbe conveyed cheaply, and without much hand
ling aud risk of breaking to Fredercksburg-and by
way ofthe Potomac, to Washington, Alexandria, &C.
But he particularly mentioned the carrying of passen
gers, along the great thoroughlare from South TO
North, as one of the great of emoument to
the road. The experience of the Petersburg Rail
Road, so far, shows us, that passengers are greater
source of profit than articles Of transportation
and in this respect, he contends that the Petersburg
Rail Road will always have the advantage of the
Portsmouth Road. For example-the following are
the Receipts of transportation on the Petersburg
Road from its opening on the 2Sth October, 1882,
down IN Jupa 1st 1901.
