Few Sight in the South.

An immigration society has been organ
lied in Central Virginia, whose purpose is
TO invite Scotch and English farmers to
sett!cin that region. 1t is proposed to send
agents to Great Britain to make known the
advantages and natural wealth of Virginia.
The society holds out rewards, not only to
farmers but TO coal and iron miners, and to
manufacturers in various branches as well
MIR. William 7. Early, of Charlottesville,
wrote to Mr.. Segar his belief that in twen-
~ years Virginia will have population of
five millions. He did not overstate the
PROBABILITIES ii only the present inhabitants
ot the State have the wisdom to tolerate all
opinions, to foster public schools, and to
secure to all workingmen within their Dor
ders equal rights and exact justice. Mr..
George p. Marsh, our Minister at Turin,
has forwarded to Washington the PROPOSE
ton OF a company of Italian silk and grape
growers and wine manufacturers, to emf
CRATE to this country in such force as would
suffice for the cultivation of million of
grape vines and ten thousand mulberry
trees. Our Southern States, and especially
Virginia, North Carolina, and the hilly
parts of Georgia, South Carolina and Ala
hama, are admirably adapted 10 the culture
of the grape and the silk worn and with
proper encouragement by the planters we
may see silk and wine take their place
among the Southern staples in few years.

4 STRANGE AFFAIR.-A bright little girl
ofabout years was left at the house o.
Charles Wilcox in this town, last Wednes.
day evening. The account which the little
stranger gave of herself was not very sat
isfactory. She represented that she came
from Iowa, or some Western State, and
that man brought her in wagon to the
house of Wilcox, and went away immedi.
ately after leaving her. When Mr.. Wilcox
ilrst saw her, she was standing by the
stove in the kitchen, ard no clue has We,
been obtained as to the person who left her
or the circumstances. She displayed nc
particular emotion mt being left, but on
contrary seemed quite satisfied if not
contented with her lot. We understand
that Mr.. Wilcox has reported the case to
the Overseers ofthe poor of the town. Al
together the affair is very strange.-O,Jord

The The Trbune's Brownsville. Texas
correspondent of the 18th says: The 25th
corps is passing n review. On the 10th inst.
the LIST division, under command of Gen.
Smith was reviewed and found in an eff
cient state. The sanitary condition of the
corps is good now, owing to the change i'm
the location Of the hospitals, which have
been removed tot the ranches near the town.
This change has caused decrease of one
fifth in the mortality, and the sick lists are
growing smaller.
Again we hear that Gen. Cowaial Is to be
here in a few days, with 5000 to 5000 men,
but those few days have multiplied so
much that put no faith in the report.

Guadaloupe Garcia, who four years ago
was in command of the line of the Rio

ports that loan of $4,000, 900 has been eff
fected by the Liberal Minister to the Uni
ed States. He also says that arms and
other warlike material have been bought
for the army. If this be true the loan will
enable the Liberal Government TO raise a
legion of ten to 10000 men; and this it has
had in view for some time past. Such a
corps would enable it to regain all the
country north of the Santana river, before
the French could collect a force adequate
to arrest its progress.

we had to get up every morning Mt 2o'c clock,

wait for forage and beef. and dare not go
outside Of camp on any pretense whatever,
unless we had pass from Head Quarters;
dare not fall out of ranks on the march, if
we did we would be dtsmounted and caus-
ed to walk. No salt meat was issued to
the men, and often the beef would not be
butchered 90 they could get it until 10 or IL
o'clock al night; no difference we had to

we would ride our horses for three days
without feed except what grass they could
pick. and in the section of country we
passed through grass did not amount TO
much. The boys would steal ont some
times and get some peaches MELONS and
corn, but had to 20 on foot, if they had
