PUBLIC LAND SPEcuLATIoN.-Withln week or
two past the bounty land warrants of the General
government have rapidly advanced in price, UNI
der speculative demand from the West, and the
forty-acre script sold yesterday as high as S43 so,
the eighty acres at $50, and one hundred and
sixty acres at $l5S. The prominent dealers in
wall street are paying $42, SSl, and 1856 from
hrst hands. At the Government minimum rate
for the public lands the warrants are nominally
equivalent to $50, 800, and 5000, or 81 25 per
acre They have sold, however, as low as fifty
per cent? one-half of these respective rates and
never higher than the current rates for cash.
The cause OF the present advance is attributed
TO the demand from the neighborhood of the new
lines OF railway in Illinois, Wisconsin, &c The
entries are made chiefly for speculation The
contractors, civil engineers, and even laborers
engaged on these works all participate in the gem
eral disposition TO part of the public domain
still subject to entry in their immediate vicinity
Alter the warrants are exhausted or up to par,
the treasury may begin to feel the effects of the
movement IN the increased cash receipts at the
land offices. And in turn further purchases of the
Federal loan of 1867 will be made with the pro-
ceeds.-N. Y. Times, 29M.

The NEXT GOVERNOR OF MIssIsslppI-There is

as to the proper man for the Democracy to nomi-
nate as their candidate for Governor.

Yazoo, and Col. VIM. Melville, of Madison, are
all mentioned in connexion with it. The Southern
Standard-bte State Rights paper of Mississippi
is in favor of Mr.. Johnson; Southern Rights cor
respondent of the Mississppian also advocates his
nomination. Other papers have recommendations
of other men, but are satisfied that our county
man, w. H. Johnson, is to be the man. The CLIQUE

A LUCKY FELLow-We met friend of ours the
other morning in the streets just from the noun
talns. where he was born and raised, who observed
to us that he was fifty years old the Saturday pre-
cedlng, and had never taken dose of medicine in
his life! This induced us to ask him if he had
escaped the lawyers well as the doctors, where
upon he replied that he had never had lawsuit of
any kind, sued or been sued in court, or before a
ma gistrate! We assured him he was most lucky
fellow to have escaped for fifty years two such evils
as doctors and lawyers, for they had during that
time skinned and killed many poor fellow, and
rich ones, too GreenriHe Patriot

The New Orleans Delta says that the De-
mocracy are as harmonious as &c sixteen tom
cats tied in meal bag" The illustration hits
the case precisely, and, emanating as it does
from Democratic source, is much too racy to
be lost.
The Savannah Georgian, another journal of
the same faith, though of the ultra Southern
Rights stripe, also recognises the divisions
and embarrassments Of the party. Though
milder in phraseology, its remarks are not less
significant:
ssThe difficulties to be encountered by General
Pierce in reconciing the jarring elements of his
party and the conflicting claims of it's leaders, are
neither few nor small 1t would seem that all who
were invited to cooperate in securing his cleo
ton, and who, thus invited. did cooperate in con-
siderable numbers to it, may claim to share
in his favor. Yet how to make unit of a cabinet
composed of Hunkers and Barnburners of the
North, of State Rights and Compromise Demo-
Gratis of the South, is questson not easy of solu-
ton.
A may be ,cel for the friends of the President not
TO underestimate the embarrassment of his position

tournament scenes, bringing into the arena one
hundred horses at once; ostrich chasing, drome-
dary races, and numerous other features of equal
attractive power. For these sporte a great num-
ported together with deer, swift dromedaries, os-
triches, and so on. Grand paeeants will also be
produced, introducing colossal triumphal cars,

MUsIcAL.-The Home Journal, in speaking of
the two rival operas in New York, says the public
divides it's fayors between them If there is fashion
at Niblos, there is more enthusiasm at the Broad
way. If Madame Sontag has an overflow one
evening, Madame Alboni attracts multitude the
next. If the Sontag troupe is more complete than
the other, and it the operas at Niblo's are more
correctly and fuently given than at the other
house, the rival faction console themselves with
the reflection that their avorie is more frequently
encored. Moreover, if oneis countess, the other
is twenty-six; and if sshme- measure'' diminishes
the attractions of the one, ssavoirdupois weight''
retards the progress of the other. We hear the
strongest opinions expressed with regard to the
comparative merits of the contending songstresses
and we have very decided opinion of our own;
but comparisons are proverbially odious, and we
therefore keep that opinion to ourselves. Reyers-
ing Signor Mercutio's exclamation, we say, Good
luck to both youS houses.

skilled in the diseases of horses, he made no pre-
tensions to all the diseases of the human sys-

to the medical wants of his family, while he took
good of the diseases Of the physicians horses

The sum returned for interest il 49, DOS oqO h,,,
this cannot be the whole interest on debt Of
$4i,742.67l at per cent, which is S., 92I 1856.
The discrepancy arises from the fact that many
new bonds were issued during the year, on some
of which little no interest had accrued to the
date of this report, and others only six months.
Deduct actual accruing interest from the net earn
ings as above, and we have left, for dividends on

cent
This statement showing, if not the true condi-
ton OF railroad Investments at least their most ia
vorabe aspect, will arrest the attention of capital
lists as to new investments in stocks or bonds in
new enterprises in this State That all the best
and most productive routes are occupied, SO that
the State s not only traversed from north to SOUTH
from east to west but ransyersely in almost every
point OF the compass, may be no sufficient argu-
ment with many parties to enter upon fresh adj
ventures. But this fact, taken in connection with
the now ascertained average yield, during year
OF unexampled activity, will at least enable them
to act with their eyes open.
