The following letter is published in North


ern paper
CHATTERToN, King George Co., Va, Sep. 7.
i have had many letters OF enquiry from
Northern farmers, but only one from upper
New York has been to see me. There are tne
openings tor al who choose to come to Virginia
to buy or work, or.work land on shares. But
it is necessary for all such to have some funds
to Tx up buildings for the accommodation OF
their families, the purchase Of teams, stock,
&c. In many or most cases, from $500 to
$1,000 will be abundant for an outlay Our
people have no money to st out their farms tor
the better class Of tenantry. You might benefit
your agricultural community by setting forth
editorially the substance OF what | say, and
calling their attention to the fine changes open
ed for them in the Old Dominion We Go not
want 'babbling politicians" but hard-Worklng,
industrious and quiet men will find hospitality,
welcome and congenial homes. The citizens OF
Virginia really desire Northern settlers among
them, from whom they can learn, and who will
be useful to us. All regard slavery as hnaliIy
abolished, and acquiesce in It's end, and only
wish to substitute good free labor. We also can
employ and give fair wages to a great many
domestics such as cooks, nurses, laundresses,
&c. Females are IN great demand Yours
truly, JOHN TAYLoE.

WHEREAS: For some time past YES
sells of war of the United States have
been refused in certain ports the privil-
eyes to which they were entitled by trea-
ty, public law, OF the comfy of nations,
at the same time that the vessels of war
of the country which in the said priVil-
eyes and immunities have been withheld
have enjoyed them fully and uninterrupt-
edly in the ports of the United States,
which condition of things has not al
ways been forcibly resisted by the United
States, although, on the other hand, they
have:not at times failed to protest against
inst and declare their dissatisfaction with
the same. No condition exists any long
er, which can be claimed to justify the
denial to them by any one Of said ma
tions, OF the customary naval rights,
which has therefore been SO unnecessa-
rily persisted in,
Now, therefore, 1, Abraham Lincoln.
President of the United States, do here
by make known that if, after reasona-
BILE time shall have elapsed for the intel
ligence of this proclamation to have
reached any foreign county, in whose
ports the said privileges and immunities
shall have been refused as aforesaid, they
shall continue to be so refused, then and
bn0uceIOrGn In6 same privileges and I'M
munities shall be refused to the vessels
of war of the country in the ports of the
United States, and this refusal shall con-
tinUe until the war vessels of the United
States shall have been placed upon an
entire equality in the foreign ports afore-
said with similar vessels of other coun-
tries. The United States, whatever
claim or pretense may have existed here
tofore, are now at least entitled to claim
an entire. and friendly equality of rights
and hospitalities with all other nations.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set nv nand and caused the seal of the

was lurid with the smoke and flame OF
hundreds of houses, melting IN a sea OF
fire: the streets were crowded with furnI-

checked by the blowing up of the Trader S

failed for them to feed upon. But, IN

Action is being taken by our Legisla-
ture which will probably result in the
impeachment and removal from office of
Judge PHILADELPHUs VAN TRUMP, of
the Fairfield Judicial District. The
charges preferred against him are predi-
Gated on his conduct in the case of John
See, who shot down and murdered two
soldiers in the city of Lancaster. in Feb,
1864 for which crime he has been in
dicted, and the case stands for trial be-
fore the Court over which Van Trump
presides. There seems to be but little
doubt of such case of official corruption
being made out against hiDl as will war
rant and demand his removal. He was
formerly Wing, but since the disband
ing OF that party, has been Democrat,
and has, during the rebellion, been an
open and avowed sympathizer with the
rebels in arms against the Government.

A WOMAN KILLS HER BRoTHER-IN-

county, Illinois, is reported to have re-
Gently been the scene of an occurrence al
most worthy of the pages of a romance.
A soldiers wife from that vicinity went to
Decatur a few days ago to obtain from the
Express office a package containg four
hundred dollars, which had been sent her
by her husband. Being unable to prove
her identity, she was unable to obtain the
money, but subsequently returned with
her brother-in-law, who furnished the re-
quired proof. On returning home the
woman retired to bed, placing the package
under her pillow, when, sometime during
the night, man entered her chamber by
breaking open the door, and demanded
the money There being fire in the fire
place at the time, sufficient to light the
room, the woman threw the package on
the floor, and, as the ruffian stopped down
to pick it up, she dealt him Il blow with
the poker that broke his neck. The
neighbors were aroused, and on washing
the dead mans face, the robber proved to
be the brother-in-law

Act amend the several Acts heretofore passed to

1865, the Provost Marshal General is required to
change the present quetas i'll t!g pendi , draft by
reason OF corrections in the enrolment made since
their ass ignment.
where any revised enrolment in any Congressional or
draft district has been obtained madc, prior to
lists, the quota of may be adjusted
and apportoned TO such revised enrolm,ut, instead
being applied 10 based upon the enrolment AZ it
may have stood before the revislOn,''

rollment and pending draft under CALI additional

and 27th sections. 1t Is provided in the 15i section
that the rulo Of credits fixed therein shall 10 apply TO

Neither Of these provisions be regarded as re-

Than prevent a construction Of the act thai would
change the rule of credits to the pend ing ru or
that would postpone It, that would inter ere With
the quotas assigned therefor. indeed, Congress- has
by implication, declared that the quotas assigned for
the present or pending draft shall be IN crf

Now, if the corrections provided for the 18th section
