WOrn.om Lands Of Virg,nia.- Several years
ago the Germans purchased considerable tracts
OF worn out lands in Virginia. which they set TO
culivaing, and restored TO excellent farms We
are told that several farmers from Weschester
county, have sold their fine estates at thirty or for
~ dollars an acre, and some Of them good deal
higher, and remov, d TO Virginia, where they have
purchased land, some of it as low as one dollar
an acre. They make this movement quite equal
to going West, aud probably better, for they are
sure III Virginia OF finding ready market for all
their produce, and without it's whole value being
exhausted in transportation. Some OF the finest
farms in ilIe State of New York are constructed
upon land which few years ago was sand, blow
ing about in the wind, or at best Capable OF bear
ing ouly bushes. The WORKOUT Virginia lands
are not in so bad condition as this by great
deal and with fine climate they can he quite
as readily restored One peculiarly OF impor
lance marks This movement; no stdre labor is EN-.
pioyed in resuscitaiing land. That can only be qf
torded on good land. The Germans and Vest
chester farmers go to work themselves, with their
Sous and hired men. No one can tell what this
movement may grow 10 in any Of lis tendencies.

parents neglected his education, aud permitted
him 10 r Jain about with a number of idle boys
who infested the town of Newbury Mass. He
commenced his career with deness; next he left
the school and despised the instruction 1t afforded;
then he scoffed at the admonitions Of those who
tried to guide him in the path of future happiness
and honor as a man aud citizen he dcspsed all
their counsels, spent his time with lazy boys like
himself, who swore, smoked chewed, drank rum,
congregated in idle squads and laughed at The
wise boys OF The village as they passed 10 school
or to industrious empoymen.s. At the age OK
nineteen he was sent 10 prison for passing bad
money, and from one step TO another, he soon as
cended the ladder OF crime TO where he now
stands, OH the lopmo,t round about to step of on
The gallows, there TO end his career at the early
age OF thirty. This is only one among thou.

Mr.. H. procured the Address of Mr.. Adams de-

the study OF the Bible. Alter reading it, the ln-
fidel replied, If q, Adams blows ho. and cold
in this way, | will have no further confidence i'll
him. suspected AT ule time that this was either
a forgery, or else the name of another J. q. Adj

Texas il was suggested that both these desidersia

was abolished. As far as we are enlightened as
to the means TO he employed for the aorogauon
of slavery thev are as follows: II is presumed on
good authority. that if Texas does agree TO abo-
ish slavery, a loan of five millions OF dollars can
be negotiated in Great Britain, redeemahle in
Lands belonging TO the republic. Tho number
of slaves in Texas is 25 00O and The money rals-
ed by loan would enable tho government to pay
their owners $500 for each slave. This compen-
saton, II is believed, would fully satisfy the own.
ers of slaves; and, as the white population is four
times as great, the same Inconvenience would
not result as in the slave states Of this Union,
where the same disparity in favor Of the whites
does not exist. Ii is supposed thu; the liberated
blacks could be employed in the tage OF the
earth with more profit 10 both racer, aud that lhs
objections which now restrain emigration 10 the
country would be rsmoyed.
"Thls project is not one Of moral, but Of Il .
nancial a9anon. 1t is, in every sense OF The
word, a mere pocket calculation. The present
shareholders own immense tracts OF lana, AMI the
compensation they would receive tor iheir slaves
