Gen. Sherman to Accompany our
Minister to Mexico.

New York, Oct. 31.-The Washington
correspondent of the Times says that Gen.
Sherman has accepted a mission to Mex,c and
will accompany Col. Campbell, Minister to
that country. On this subject We refer the
reader to a dispatch Of data" the intelligent
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun as follows :-EDIToR DAY Book
Washington, Oct. 29-Hon. l. d. Camp
bell, Minister to Mexico, left last evening,
EN- route to Mexico, accredited to the Juarez
government.
He has received full instructions conform
ing to the tripartite arrangement, previously
communicated. He will probably visit his
home by the way.
Under this arrangement the withdrawal of
the French troops will commence next month
and is expected to be accomplished at once,
instead Of extending over a year,s as at first
| arranged.
This government, in view of the compli-
cations certain to arrive npon tho withdraw
al MAMMALIAN, adm the necessity Of a..stable
government, will in certain contingencies,
guarantee the Juarez government.
| In other words, our army on the Rio
Grande and feet in the Gulf Of Mckee will
be ready to assiste Juarez should it be neses-
sal " SSbnpiiou AoPuoteoh oofOA ~
Mexico.
To n ure intelligent exercise of this posi-
BILE armed intervention, military officer Of
high rank will accompany Minister Camp
bell, with power to act in the emergency re-
ferred to.
Lieut, Gen. Sherman is now spoken of in
this connection, aud also Major Gen. w. g.
! Hancock. Notroops will be moved into Mex
| leo exccptin the contingency referred to, and
it is hoped that the attitude thus publicly as
sumed by this government in support ofJua-
| req will induce general submission Of the
various factions in. Mexico, and obviate the ne
cessity of any such action.
In consequence of this friendly action the
Juarez government agree to cele to the United
States the territory heretofore stated as agreed
upon, and we shall thus gain the whole OF the
peninsular of Lower California and the val
| liable PORTIONS Of the States Of Sonora and
Chihuahua, thus securing their rich mineral
deposits, the undisturbed navigation Of the
Gulf of California, and shorter route to the
| Pacific coast.
| Gen Sherman was called to Washington
| for the purpose of succeeding MIR. Stanton in
the War Department, but as he maniiests a
reluctance to assume the duties Of that office
it is probable he will be assigned to the i'm
portant duty indicated herein.

The Annamessse Air Line Route.-As will be
seen by the advertisement OF Marshall Parks, ESQ.,,
Agent of this route to the North, opens on
Tuesday next, the 9th Of Nov. The new and
splendid iron side wheel steamboat City Of Nor
folk, Capt. Thompson. will leave her wharf at
the foot of Madison street, in this city, on that
day, and daily thereafter, at 10 O'clock, p. NJ,
and Portsmouth, at III O'Clock, z. NJ, on the ar
rival of the great Southern Express train. Pas
sengers take the cars at Annamessex early the
next morning for Wilmington, Philadelphia and
New York; and returning, they leave New York
at 7. NJ, and Philadelphia at IL p. NJ.
II is thought that this route will cause quite
revolution IN travel through this section Of coun-
try, and we look forward to the realization of
these anticipations with pleasure. The various
lines already in operation between here and the
North, with this as an auxiliary, it seems, must
eventually attract large part OF the travel
which at present passes over these routes, more
cireuitous, tedious to the traeving public, and
requiring much greater time. Every traveller
knows what relief it is to change from the cars
to fine large steamer, with plenty of elbow
room, good !" brousing'' and comfortable state
room to turn into for q good nights sleep, while
still speeding on his journey. to the new
line, cFE

COMMISSIONERS SALE

nFA LARGE AND VALUABLE TRACTOR
~ Real Estate in the County of Princess Anne.
BY virtue OF a Decree of the Circuit Court for
the County of Princess Anne, pronounced on the
Oath day of September, 1866, in the Chancery suit
of G. w. Grandy, assignee, and others, plaintiffs,
and Silas 5. Gregory, administrator of William
N. Gregory, and others, defendants, the under
signed, as Commissioner, will sell at Public Auc-
ton, at Princess Anne Court House, on MONDAY
Sd day of December, 1866, (the same being Court
day, at IL o'clock, the real estate in the bill and
proceedings mentioned, of which William N. Gre
CORY died seized and possessed, consisting of
Tract OF Land, containing about 300 acres, sit
uated in said county, and adjoining the lands of
w. W. Coke and others, rather more than one
halt Of which is cleared and under cultivation;-
the remainder is woodland, with fine growth O
oak and other timber.
The improvements consist of two small Dwell
ings and the necessary out buildings, barns, sta
bles, dc. For the accommodation of purchasers
the above tract will be divided into two equal
parcels, with the same proportion of woodland at
tached to each. The dividing line commences at
a stake on the London Bridge road, and runs to a
stake at the back line OF the farm. This farm is
regarded by competent judges as the finest BODY
adapted to the crops raised in this section of the
State. The old land, under the management of
its former owner, yielded abundant crops of wheat
and corn; the new land, of which there is large
body now in cultivation, and an extensive tract
beaded and ready to be taken in, is of a most su
perior quality, and among the best of the " Hoi
land Swamp" land of the county, widely known
for the inexhaustible richness of its soil The To-
cation is regarded healthy one, convenient
to schools and churches, and in desirable por-
ton of the county.
Situated about IL miles from the city of Nor
folk, and ~ miles from the village of Kempsville
from whence navigation is safe and easy to the
city, and within four miles of the waters of Lynn
haven river which abound in the finest fish and
oysters. 1t is seldom that valuable and desi-
rable a body of land is placed in the market; ana
in view of its superior advantages and the fact
that real estate in this section of Virginia must
appreciate most rapidly in value as soon as the
public are made familiar with the inducements it
presents. The attention of capitalists as well as
of those desiring to locate and find home, is con
hdently invited to examination of this pro-
perty.
Terms of Sale:-Cash enough to pay the cost Of
suit and expenses OF sale; the remainder in three
equal instruments, payable in one two and three
years, with interest from the day of sale; the
purchasers giving bonds, with approved security
for the deferred payments, and the title retained
until the further order of the Court
