the act of August 81, 1852, which provides
for the liquidation of Virginia Land Office
Military Warrants, by issuing scrip onwhich
any public domain subject to private entry
may be taken up. Of course these REQUESTS
are declined, as the Treasury Warrants are
not provided for in the law. They NAV be
located only upon lands the property of the
State of Virginia, within her own limits. At
present, adds the Star, she has none of the
kind which command more than liz cents
per acre in the market Unprincipied spec
