No MORE LANDS TO BE RESERVED. The fol-
lowing letter from the Secretary of the Interior,
addressed to the Hon. Alfred Iverson, gives the
conclusion to which the Department has come in
reference to public lands reserved for railroads.
We find it in the Columbus Times of Aug. 80:
DEPARTMENT THE INTERioR
August 25, 1854
Sir: In reply to yours Of the 2lst, requesting
that the President will withdraw from sale, or
private entry, all the lands within belt Of
twelve miles on each side of the proposed Mobile
and Girard Railroad, | have to state that the
whole subject Of the withdrawal Of lands for
railroad purposes has recently been fully ex-
amined and considered, and that it has been
determined, with the appreciation of the Presi-
dent, to bring into market, with as little delay
as is practicable, all lands heretofore withdrawn
for such roads as have not been fayorably acted
upon by Congress, and to decline hereafter to
withdraw lands for such purposes, until after
the grent shall have been actually made.
! am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient
servant. II. n. eLELLAND. Secretary.

f. WHEELING ENTITLED TO ANY ATTENTION
v,o,, THE C;oyEESMENr.-We have several times
referred to the propIety, if not absolute necessity
n nublic building in this city suitable for Post
one. and United States District Court Room. The
demands for such building have daily become
more imperative, and we glad 10 learn that the
rroiect has OF last assumed shape which promises
;,s early and successful consummation. A memo
nal numerousIy signed will in few days be pre-
s.n.ed TO Congress, asking for suitable appropri-
alton, and il the peoples representatives." con-
suit the wishes Of the citizens Of Western Virtinis
and the interests OF the Government so far as they
depend upon faithful and efficient management
at this point. thy will grant the prayer Of the Pc
titioners without delay.
Few if any cities in the Union equal in popula-
tion and commercial Importance TO Wheeling, have
been so long neglected in respect to United States
building as this, the second city in the great State
Of Virgins. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh have re-
cieved enormous appropriations fer the purpose
for which we now ask moderate appropriation;
and edifces which mark the august presence of a
fl renosiIOry Of the business Of The United States
Government. now rear their stately proportions in
those cities. Let Wheeling, too, which deserves
the fostering care of the Government as much as
any city of the Union, with her vast distributing
Post Office and important United States CouIt,
&c, receive her dues. We trust that our repre-
seniatives will urge this matter in Congress with
determination to succeed. and that their efforts in
behalf of the venerable Democratic Old Dominion
will be cordially seconded by the representatives
of other States.

conceive OF lecture affcrting more variety than
