DEAR SIR: In l0Oking over the last number of your

Jerome Hoover, Esq, in which he states that certain

some interest in Nemaha City for the purpose of in
juring its prosperity. 1t may do quite we'll to cir
culate a report Of that nature where the facts are
unknown, but to those knowing the facts such n

to persons to ascertain the facts we hereby warn ali

interest in the said town Of Nemaha City, from the
said jerome Hoover, as he has sold and received paw

to place the undersigned in possession of the interest
by them purchased in the same; and they have not
authorized the said Hoover to sell or dispose Of any
portion of their interest, but directed suit to be
broughtlOng since for its recovery.

The proposed tax OF Gov. Wise on oysters is one
Of the most sensible practicable and efficient modes
Of raising revenue ever recommended by states
man. Some years ago Pennsylvania passed law
sppropriating to the State the bottoms OF her
rivers and derived a considerable revenue from
the subsequent sale of the property Why should
not Virginia make her immense oyster beds a
source Of revenue Is she so rich, that she does
not need them, or the oysters so poor that she
could not use them The truth is, that the Viz
gnia oysters are everywhere acknowledged and
sought after as the finest in the Union. There is
On immense building In Boston, which must have
cost hundred thousand dollars that belongs to
the "American Oyster Association" which has a
bank and an insurance Office within its walls, and
In the back part OF the building about fifty men
who are constantly engaged in opening Virginia
oysters There 10 a whole town In Connecticut,
called Fairhaven, which lives entirely on the Viz
ginia oyster trade, which has feet of twenty five
vessels engaged In bringing oysters from the wa
tiers Of the Chesapeake, which the people Of Fair
haven, men, women, boys and girls, are constantly
engaged In opening and packing into kegs, to sup
ply all New England and the great West. They
then bring back the oyster shells to Virginia, and
sell them at our own shores to be converted into
lime. We have seen one of these vessels, which
brought to the Richmond dock eleven thousand
bushels of oyster shells. The consequence IT, that

One of the most psrplexing questions that ever
embarrassed our Government is that arising out
of the ..grave error of Commodore Paulding IN
srresting General Walker and his men, after they
had run the gauntlet of the Government ponce
and reached in safety tho soil OF Nicaragua. IL
was great outrage but how is it to be rsdressedf

he was found by our transcendsnt Commodore,
Who construss the laws to suit his own view OF
What ought to be done. But the Government re-
niles that this cannot be done without another

Nicarsgua, and outraging the law of nations 1t
Il . most extraordinary dilemma. We should be
rsd to see It solved by the placing of Walker again
where the oficious Commodore found him.
The compulsory return of the expedition, after
Il had reached the theatre of its operations, has
certainly inspired many who had doubts of the
psacticability and benefits of the Nicaraguan
scAsms, with strong sympathies for the Southern
Walker. Beyond doubt, he occupies a much
stronger position at home than ever before. To
what extent this enlarged popularity is to affect
that darling project which he declared in this city
he would mover surrender but with his life, re-
mains to be seen. II he succeed we think it more
than probable his success will be dae, in great
degree to that "grave error which has aroused
sympathiss In breasts that were before indifferent
towards him.

Shocking Murder by a Negro Ma
MAC.

A correspondent of the Norfolk Herald, writing
from Suffolk county, Va, JAN 10, gives the follow
ing particulars of shocking tragedy, which We
noticed briefly a few days since:
This morning about o'cPk information reached
this town that an insurrection of the blacks had
broken out between South Quay and Holy Neck,
in Nansemond county, and that some white
families had been massacred. The town instant
ly rose in arms and sent out a scouting party on
horseback to near the scene Of the reported out
RACES, who returned about 4 o'clock, A. NJ, and
reported that yesterday Monday little after 3
O'Clock in the afternoon, deraUged negro man,
belonging to Mr. Benton, of Gates county, n. c.,
had attacked a white man, named Whtmel Jones,
on the road near South Quay, and murdered him.
splitting his skull open. The negro then went to
the house Of Mrs. Harrison Howell. widow wo-
man, whom he murdered likewise. By this time a
party had started in pursuit of him. When he
reached the house of Rev. Uriah Rawis, young
man named David Rawls was present with gun.
The negro approached him in fighting attitude.
when Rawls fired twice at him. The negro fled to
a pond of water, where he was shot by the party
in pursuit of him. Much excitement prevailed.

The pamphlet addressing an appeal to the Iegi'-
iaturs, relative to the improvement Of the Kanaw'
ha river, which we noticed In yesterday Dispatch,
states that the James River and Kanawha Com
pany b unpopular In the Kanawha Valley, and
that the Company with Its present organization,
cannot fn the opinion Of the committee, secure
the good will Of the people Of that part OF the
State The only cause alleged for this unpopular
tty 10 that they have been made to pay exhorpi
tsnt tolls on the Kanawha river, while the revenue
derived therefrom has been expended on the
eastern part Of the line. Those statements are
questions Of fact. The proper improvements on
the Kanawha river have certainly not been mace,
because no doubt, II WAS not In the power oil the
Company TO make them ie It had not the money
IL 10 equally true that the badly devised ana diiap
iSAted improvements now In the river, are rather
Injurious than beneficial, and occasion often So
rious losses These the company have not the
means TO remodde or repair. Those navigating
the river, who are subject to Inconvenience and
loss by them, are naturally exasperated at having
TO pay tolls; and hence there have been for years
number of suits pending In the courts out there,
TO enforce the payment Of these tolls. Hence the
allsdged unpopularity Of the Company, and the
indisposition of the people of the kanawha VAL
ley to embark In an improvement Of the river
under its supervision.
How far the statement, as to the extent OF these
prejudices, is correct, we are unable to say 1t is
one of those matters about which gentlemen may
be mistaken; yet it is reasonable to conclude that
they do exist to a greater or less degree.
Nevertheless, whatever course the Legislature
may think sxpedient upon the question of the i'm
mediate improvement of the Kanawha, we cannot
believe that it will make any permanent Interrupt
ton of the continuity and completeness of the
water line from tide water to the Ohio. 1t would
not be wise and proper to do so. The whole, when
finished as we hope aud trust ourselves to see it,
should be under one government and administra
