This crossing the James river by the rebel

evacuating Richmond. The explanation given

Tie HOmestead Law.


The measure for procuring homesteads
for the landless which has been before
the country for 50 many years, has At
length become a law. Il will be good
policy for the Government, we have no
doubt, for the lands given away will be
worth far more to the country, peopled
with an industrious population, than ly-
ing waste as they now do. They viii
soon yield up their treasures Of grain or
Of cotton and tobacco to be exported, and
to buy goods that win paya duty 70 the
Government. Peopled they will furnish
soldiers for the army. and taxes to pay
their expenses. should the country need
them. Before this law was passed, lands
were so cheap that every man Of real en-
ergy and industry could obtain a home
stead if be tried. provided be could raise
the means 10 get on to the land This
viii be the chief difficulty now. Hun
dreds and thousands Of families TO whom
the land would be a priceless boon viii
never be able to reach il. They have
little forecast, are poor and ia debt, and
pretty much discouraged. They can not
find constant employment, and DO not
know how TO employ themselves profta-
bly,. If associations could be formed for
settling these lands in part BY such fami-
hes. II would meet the difficulty. Il
would help them without damaging the
success Of the new settlement. II would
secure to them at once homesteads and
full employment, which they 50 much
need.

at bis hearth, to whom he has opened bis
soul, who has given him days portrayed
in his memory, and sons grown up under
his eyes, why should he dishonor her p.
What has she done What does man
gain by it! All! what he gains by it, !
will tell you; for, finally, we must know
the cause after having seen the phenom-
enon, we must penetrate into the inmost
heart of man and explore it.
Three egotisms have concurred, in
mans heart, to the degradation of woman.
The first is the egotism Of Jealousy. We
love. it is true, but we are of SO little val-
ne to be loved, years flow away SO fast,
they so swiftly carry away the charms Of
our youth, that a moment comes when we
doubt of ourselves and of our aptitude 10
deserve affection. We are not deserved.
Nevertheless, we wish to retain what
would not Voluntarily come to US; we as
pire to a passion whose day is far gone
by;. rather than obey nature, we wish to
do violence to it, and revise BY servitude
what is ravished from US by liberty
This is the secret reason which has
doomed man everywhere to more or less
isolation. ~
Another egotism, that Of safety, has
worked against her in another sense
We grow tired. One day we wake mp as
from dream; we are surprised thas we
love no longer, what, on the day previous,
we adored; we ask ourselves the cause
Of the change. Nothing has changed
but the heart but it has ehahgedi and it
is a change from which itneveE recover ,.
What is to be done then? How is j.
possible to live in the torment of seeing
with indifference what before was beheld
with delight? The indissolubility of
marriage is the answer Of our inconstan-
cy 10 this question. Jealousy made wO-
man a captive, safety or lassitude drives
her away.
There remains third party for third
egotism, which is that of simultaneity.-
Our seffishness is so subtle, that we must
sometimes. TO take our ease, join habit to
novelty. This end is attained by the
multiplicity of marriage, and passion thus
forms court, where souvenir is as much
alive as caprice; where all states of af-
fairs are mixed, and where every day
brings to an inexhaustible Inconsistency
wedding and reputation.
Such is man, and this threefold egotism
is reduced to one only, which is want Of
true love. Love, purely human, is a
transient ebuIition, produced by causes
which have but short duration; 1t.
springs up in the morning and fades in
the evening. II is not the act of a man
who rules himself, who is sure of his will,
and conveys the energy of his duty even
into the inmost enjoyment of the heart
True love is a virtue it supposes a con-
slant and strong soul, which, without be-
ing insenslbIe to fugitive gifts, penetrates
even to the immutable region of the beau
tiful, and discovers in its ruins blossom
which touches and detains it. But only
among true civilization will you meet this
creating taste-this virtue.

They adopted no other platform, and con-

ture of their platform is the same in sub
stance as the resolutions introduced into

day, by Geo. d. Roberts, and which was
voted down. 1t is nothing more nor less
than an avowal that the Government stop
the war, and make peace with the rebels
upon their own terms. All that are in favor
of this doctrine will Of course vote for o..

to which the counties were entitled were
