acts of the Legislature, "an act for the relief Of
landlords" We trust this law will not be use,l in

IN the Rappahannock the situation is unchanged,
and there has been no further fighting at Charleston.
If is rumored that Gen. Longstreet has advanced

tbe enemy's reinforcing Washington in this State,

feet an early junction with Rosencrans, portion of

FERTILITY OF THE HOLY LAND.

No country of equal size probably, contains gres-
ter inequalities of surface than Pales:ine-varying
from the peaks of Lebanon, 10000 feet above the
sea level to the plain of Jericho, 1900 feet below
it Hence the Holy Land afforded almost every va
riety of vegetable productions; and when in its.
glory, populous and cultivated, and enjoying the
smiles Of Jehovah it was not unworthy of the
glowing rhapsody of DR.. Hamilton, the emphatic
terms Of which are almost all from the Bible
A better country than this earth did not contain.
It was a delightsome' and "a pleasant land:' "a
goody heritage of the host of nations 1t was va.
riegated and intersected with all the elements of
sublimity and beauty-with whatever was bold and
covered its hills, and the farest flowers decked its
glens The rose was in Sharon, and the lilly in the
valleys. The voice of the turtle was heard in the
land. There roamed the vine, and there clustered
the date And there hung the pomegranate. The
cedar lowered on the mountains, and the myrtle
skirted their sides. No human hand could raise the
clusters of Eschol. The south winds passed over
the gardens causing the spices thereof to flow out
The seasons revolve in their variety, but with a
blended sweetness. There was the upland breeze,
in which the fir could wave its arms, and the softer
air. in which the olive unfolded its blossom. The
sun smote not by day, nor the moon by night The
birds sang among the branches. The dew lay thick
in Hermon., There was balm in Gilead. The Ign
aloe dropped from the river bank. Lakes glistered
in the landscape, and cooled the drought Beauti-
full for situation was Mount Zion The cattle browsed
on a thousand hills. The excellence of Carmel and
the glory of Lebanon set their pinnacles against
the deep azure Of Canaan's sky. The barns were
filed with plenty-the vineyards distilled the pure
blood of the grape The fountain of Jacob was up
on a land of corn and wine The granaries were
filled with the finest wheat 1t flowed with milk
and honey. Its heavens dropped fairness. Atstated
periods fell the early and latter rain. The land
might be called Beulah. The distant glimpse of its
prospect refreshed the dying eye of Moses: and of
all thine earthly territory this is emphatically thy
land, O Emmanuel
This Howery description by: no means applies to
Palestine ssit now is. Depopulated, neglected, mis-.
governed it has become as desolate as it once Was
beautiful and fertile; and estfes to the truth Of
Gods word, aWoe be unto them when-f depart
