Emigration to 8oxTa-A Grand Scheme
on the TaPis-
TEro.r +ha T1oe Hf,Tro. Por;,+,r 1ktI,

Our readers will remember tlrat few weeks
since, VIC called attention to the fact that the
American Emigration Company had sent an
agent to Iowa tor the purpose Of examining
the several Land Grants made to tue State.
We are happy to learn through F. G. D. Nc
Fay, Esq. their Iowa agent, who is now in
the east, that the Company arc about to sub
nit proposition to one Of our principal rail-
road companies for purchase of their entire
Land Grant, pay ing large amount loTn, anI
agreeing in the purchase to sell the lands only
to actual settlers, in quantities nor to cx-
cced oHc section, and binding each settler to
improve certain amount yearly, aud put out
five acres Of trees the first year II this
transaction is made, the Railroad Company
will get i large amount Of ready money to
push on their road. The Emigrant Company
buy the lands at low figure, but the State
eecnres the greater benefit.
VIC have often expressed our surprise tEas
our State should have SO long neglected. to
Offer Inducements to some Of those Emigraat
Companies, which other States around Is kIve
SO lib=ra!;F bcstowed, and which in return
have received that increase OF population to

Why. Gen. Lander Evacuated 32oInney.

II is stated, with al appearance Of crcdibili-
ty, that the reason why Gen. Lander evacuated
RuIncy for the Maryland side Of the Poto-
mac: SO soon after assuming command, was
primarily that he found the forces very much
dclnora}ized under Gen. kelly's aaministra,
ton, and III no condition 10 resist the attack
that was threatened by the rebels. Hc there,
fore pulled stakes and left town in the night
Gen. Kelly, besides being All invalid, vas ne,
gre catcher, and one regiment OF his command
If moi others was so thoroughly disorganlzel
that Ill the old field officers resigned and came
home, refusing to catch negroes for d5loya7
masters. The condition in which Gen. Ian.
der found the men is the natural result q'
using them for such illegitimate purposes.
