The witnesses examined this afternoon
by the court martial, showed the intimacy
of Booth, Harold and O'Lsughlin.
Mr.. Cox, for the defense, objected TO the
whole of this evidence on the ground that
the mere fact of intimacy was not evidence
of conspiracy.
Judge Advocate Holt said that they had
fully established the intimacy of the par
ties in Washington, ard he simply wished
to show that the intimacy existed in Balti-
more.
The Court over-ruled the objec ion, but
ordered it to be put on record.
II appeared from the testimony Of David
Stanton, that on the night of the 18th of
April, O'Lsughlin was proving in the
house of the Secretary of War, but having
no business W ordered out.
The Court remained in session until
seven o'clock.

OF BARGAIN AND SALE

Wherever there Is vacuum, the surround
ing air rushes 10 to fill it. Wherever there is
an opportunity for making money, Yankees
run n to seizs upon it. There are opportuni-
tie,ofmadny money now in Virginia. Let Yam
kesl improve them. They are such as are pc
culiarly suited to the spirit of Yankee en-
terprise. They consist in bargain and sale,
tae natural and proper business of the Yankee
race. And this is how they came about.
Sir William Blackstone in treating of per-
sonal property, stigmatizes 1t as being sof
perishable and transitory nature" That these
epithets are eminently appropriate, has been
Demonstrated among other facts by the late
great civil war. Wherever in any part of the
South the contending armies baye marched.
personal property has been found to be of
very transitory nature, and wherever they
have contermarched, it has in very many in
stances, absolutely persisted. This has been
the case generally within the rebellious States
but propose to discourse particularly of the
State of Virginia, where the great majority of
original landholders who still holi their lands.
hold hardly anything else. Raids, campaigns ]
taxes, draft Communications, official winks ane'
the like, have despoiled them of all their mon
ey, drauyht animals, agricultural implements.
and in many instances, their houses, and left
then almost nothing but the bare surface Of
their unfcnced fields, and the structures there
on II any such there BE-. 1t has therefore be-
come absolutely necessary for those who have
tnu' suffered, toscll portion of their lands
IN order to raise money to s,1pport themselves
ior the time, and for the cultivation of that por-
elon wnlca tney retain, and moreover to sell
quickly. The result is that a vast ouantitv of
land Is now suddenly thrown on tba ma.Iet
and at discount from its real vo,ro oe -
least forty per cent, a very unusual cordit;o,,
of things. 0'''0ll
NOW Yankees bestir yourselves. Such on
portuaitie' for money making do not often oc
cur. There Is gold in California and the tor,;-
tories to be sure, and there is oil down in the
bowels Of the earth below parts of Penpsvl-
vania ard West Virginia. Nevertheless YOU
may dig for the gold and bore for the oil, and
turn ne7e- penny, as many an honest fellow
has done before you. But if you invest your
moneg in the purchase of lands in Virginia,
you run no risk, on the contrary you are sure
Of great profits.

couasry ara. If you do not, ask the returned

Satisfy yourselves from some. source Of in
formation which you can trust, Of the wonder
full richness Of theso and of the very favor-
able nature Of the climate for farming
operations. Take into consideration that you
get your land ct a. discount from its real vail
ue as said before Of forty per cent, and that
you could realize from your investment, a prof.
it Of twenty per cent. if you paid its full YAH
ne. And you will see that to convert your
property into Virginian lands, is as saIe a mode
Of investment as to buy bonds ana a much
more profitable one. Having come TO this con-
clusion it win doubtless occur to you that these
onportunities for great bargains win not last
long. Hungry spectators will be swapping up
these valua. lie lands in large lots, only 70 re-
tail them at advanced rates, for whoever gets
hold of them nows is sure TO have them rise in
value ON his hands. Whoever then intends
to purchase to hold, would do we'll to do it
quickly. By 50 doing he will get the benefit
OF the purchasing at a discount from the orig
inal value and of the rise in value ON his
hands, instead of having to pay even more
than the original value on account of the rice
thereupon. 81 ;s4ox w 5ngyzaa e 1a
Yankees are very much needed in Virginia
to carry out agricultural and political improve
ments. Skilful farming only is required to
make the state great garden, much to the
profit of the skilaul farmers.
Good sound voters only are necessary to make
the political wilderness in which this people
has been wandering for more than forty years
blossom as the rose and bear the fair fruits of
freedom. Further communications on this
subject may be expected. Il q EGAEd1EY
