SALE OF THE Holy LAND.-A Paris let
ter to the New York Evangelist mentions
Il report that Syria has been sold to Roth
schitd for 5OO,OOO,OOO francs; that he
proposes to rebuild Jerusalem and Solo
mons Temple, to allow chapels for all re-
ligions to establish railways and steam
ers, and to appeal to the Jewish nation to
return to the land of their fathers. A
similar rumor was circulated several years
ago. 1t is scarcely likely to be true,
though in these days money is all power
full, and may accomplish even greater
things than this.

LINE FOR PEACH TREEs.--We have the
authority, (says the Agricultural Plough
of the Hon. John NJ. Clayton, who is
among the most improving farmers of one
of the most improving States in the
Union, Delaware, } that lime is the best
manure ever applied to peach trees. He
scrapes the dirt off, and applies to the
naked roots from three to dozen shovels-
full of lime fresh from the kiln. Grubs die
and peaches live by the operation. Ger
tainly we have never seen more healthy
looking trees than those of farmer Clay

INDIGNATION MEET1NG.-A large por-
ton of the citizens of Cumberland held
meeting on last Saturday week in refer
ence to the proceedings connected with
the attempted trial Of Robert Swan for
murder at that place. A series of resolu-
tons were passed, condemning some SEN
timents used by the prisoners counsel
taking exception to the decision of Judge
Merrick, touching the capacity and inca
pacity of men to sit as jurors-aPproying
of the removal of the trial to Washing
ton county-earnestly repudiating the
doctrine of the Court that Swans case was
bailable-and declaring that certain re-
ports of the proceedings during the trial,
which are now being industriously circu-
lated, are a "tissue Of unfair and exparte
statements"
This case of Swan seems to have crea-
ted, as we'll it might, great excitement in
Cumberland.

cs and the excitement was intense
Mr., Richie read the following extract Of
n letter from General Pierce
If the compromise measures are not
TO be substantially and firmly maintain
cd the plain rights guaranteed by the con-
;stitution Will be trampled In the dust
What difference can it make to you or
me whether the outrage shall seem to
fall on South" Carolina, or Maine or New
Hampshire? Are not the rights of each
clearly dear to rs all? L will never yield
TO craven spirit. that, from cousidera-
ttions of policy, which will'endanger the
Union. Entertaining these views, the &C
ton of the Convention must, in my judg-
ment, be vital. If we of the North, who
have stood by the constitutional rights OF
the South, are to be abandoned to any
time-serving policy, the hopes OF Democ :
racy and of the Union must sink togeth'
or. AS have told you, my name will
not be before the Convention, but can
not help feeling that what is there to be
done, will be important beyond men and
parties-transcendantly important to the
hopes of Democracy, progress. and public
liberty" Great applause.

OUTRAGE.-A friend from Faquier in
formed us of an outrage in Loudoun a
few days since unparalleled in this day of
outrage and wrong. A young man from
the North, a graduate of Yale College,
and of highly reputable connexions, was
engaged as teacher in that county. He
become enamoured of beautiful young
girl in the neighborhood, with whom he
eloped and married at Washington. The
young lady had many suitors, who being
greatly disgruntled at thus being outwit-
ted by Yankee Schoolmaster, determin-
ed on revenge. One of them went to
Washington and invited the bridegroom
and bride to his house, and sent his car
riage for them to some point on the Rail
road. In returning, the carriage was
waylaid, the man dragged from the side
of his wife and despite her screams and
imploring appeals for mercy, he was
bound hand and foot and beat until life
was nearly extinct.
The scoundrels were all recognized we
learn, and suit against them has been
institutcd.-Fred. Ne,Cs.
