The Washington Star has learned fromhead
quarters, doubtless that the Secretary of the In
terror is about to restore to market allthe land
With held from sale on account of the contem-
Mated rail roads running through or near them
except, of course, in cases where Congress had
actually made the grants for rail road purposes
asked. A large body of very desirable lands will
thus become subject to private entry at 81
25 per acre or to location with land scrip. This
is important to be speedily and widely known
by way of preserving special action in them

GREYTowY.-In view of the fact that the
Boscawen, British ship of the line, has been
sent to Greytown to protect British interests in
that quarter. would it not be well for our govern
ment TO send there ship of the same size,
to protect American interest? The two ,sloops
of war ordered to Greytown are not able to
cope e. ~ with ship of the line.-The best way to
avoid a diaiculty is to be ready to meet it. AS
other vessels of the British West India squadron
NAV be concentrated in the same quarter, an
American line ofbattle ship, the two sslooPS OF
war already ordered, and, necessary, the whole
West India squadron of the United States ought
70 be Of once ordered to Greytown. This is
the hest way to avoid a collision, or, lift is
