VIRGINIA LANDs.-The Vdlley Spirit, o pa
per printed in Pennsylvania, states that large
number of Pennsylvania farmers contemplate
visiting Virginia in a short time for the pur-
pose OF purchasing lands The reason for this
is that lands can be bought at a much lower
rate in Virginia than in Pennsylvania We
are glad to hear this, because there is room in
the Old Dominion for thousands more of good
farmers, and we think it decidedly preferable
to going to the far West. The Weston Lewis
county, Vs) Herald calls attention to North
western Virginia The Herald says:
"This portion of Virginia is but little known
abroad, owing to the fact that land purchasers
seldom come from so great distance, whilst
others derive an unfavorable impres sion of tho
character of the country by viewing it from
the roadsides 1t is true, the face Of the coun-
try is rough and uneven, but a more prolific
soil the sun does not chine upon and we want
only the axe of the woodman to level the i'm
mense forests of timber, and the industrious
farmer, to make it as inviting as any portion
of the State. 1t is said the land titles are I'M
settled here. To some extent, this is true: but
does any man of common sense invest his
money in lands in other parts of the country.
before investigating the title by which he is to
hold it! Surely not. But there are tens Of
thousands of acres of land for sale here the
title to which is perfect; and the very same
reason which induces the Pennsylvanians to
visit Virginia-the cheapness of lands-should
induce those who do not wish to leave their
native State, to come to Western Virgins and
Locate. There are causes at work here which

LARGE CROPS IN IRELAND.-We have the
following by the last steamer, in relation to the
crops in Ireland:
"The weather, during the last week, has
been rather unsettled but although coed
deal of rain has fallen, the grain crops do not
appear to have been at all blurred. The wheat
looks well, and is now ripening fast and do
not observe that it has in any place been beat
en- down. 1t is remarkably free from blight or
smut, while the ear is considered unusually
large and full The oat crop has suffered more
from the rain and weather than the wheat !;
nor is it altogether SO free from blight, although
upon this head there is certainly little to COM
plain Of
"Upon the whole there is still every reason
to think that the grain crops will be the most
abundant that have been gathered for many
years. With regard to potatoes, there can be
no doubt that the disease is now spreading, but
not to such an alarming extent as some people
represent The new potatoes are generally in
use throughout the country and, although the
leaves, and in some cases the stalks, are blight
ed, yet the tubers are scarcely touched, while,
for the most part, the quality is excellent The
quantity sown this year is unprecedently large,
even compared with the very best of times so
that it is hoped that, after all casualties and
losses, there will be full average supply"

TROOPS FOR The FRONTIER,

is for six companies of mounted men, to be mus

months, unless sooner discharged each compa-

second lieutenant four sergeants, four corpo-
rails two buglers, one farrier, and seventy-four
privates; each man to furnish his own horse,
equipments, and arms, aad to be furnished with
ammunition, forage, and subsistence by the
United States; the pay to be dependent on an
appropriation by Congress, which meets in De-
cember next.
The Governor, deemiDg it desirable that each
section of the State should have an opportunity
furnish portion of said troops, divides the
organized counties Of the State Except Ell Paso,
which lies too remote to furnish men in the time

one company will be received. No one will be
received unless he is able-bodied, supplied with
o good horse suitable for an active campaign,
a good rife, and brace of pistols or Colts

The Telegraph states that Capt. B. o. Payne
has already raised company at Galveston.
The subject of this sudden call is to repel Indian
incursions.

A HAPPY LAMA wr;ter from, II.

A HAPPY LAND.-A writer from Flor.
ence says that in some respects Italy is
the most delightful country in the world.
II is land, for example, where cleaning
house, washing day, and all other such
interesting eDOchs in the American calen.
dar, are moderated and unknown. This
exemption from the great domestic evil OF
cleaning house, is owing not so much
to love of dirt as to the peculiar con.
struction of the buildings. Thus, for
instance, when the ceilings and walls are
frescoed, or the latte cover / with silk
or paper hangings, there is no need Of
white washing; and where panels and
doors are of marble or osk there is no
necessity for securing paint. The cell
ings and walls are kept clean by long.
handled brushes. The carpets there are
fastened to iron rings in the floor by
means of large hooks in the binding, and
thus can &c raised or let down again IS
easily as I'D covers. We would recon-.
mend the adoption of this fashion t. New
England housekeepers. In Italy, . large
portion of the homework, such as wash.
ing, cleaning windows, &C., is done at an
early hour in the morning, before the
family are up for the day: and so quietly
is it accomplished that to a stranger it
seems as if the invisible wand of some
mighty magician had changed all in the
night.

REPORTERS PoR THE PRKss.-The of.
fce of a reporter for a daily paper is one
of no mean rank. Its labor is arduous;
It's responsibility unce1sing. S3me OF
the wisest and ablest of men began their
career in this comparatively subordinate
sphere. DR.. johnson was at one time q
reporter of q L ondon journal, and Walpole
and the elder Chatham owe not little of
their reputation for eloquence to the well
digested efforts of the great moralist.-
Charles Dickens was reporter, and first
attracted attention by the cleverness with
which he constructed his penny-a-line
contributions. Thackeray, whose genius
has more solidity and sc 'pe than Dickens,
has assembled the ladder Of fame. striding
upwards from the reporters desk. II is,
therefore, seen that the reporter may sue
cessfully aspire to the highest renown,
and that talent, imagination, vigor, and
taste may be quite as conspicuously
evinced in the brief chronicles Of the hour
which it is his special vocation to record,

the most elaborate eloquence of the bar.
