but he could not help that. His father had
been one before, and he inherited his faith

'El Estrella (The Starr.

TIMBER.

The completion of the Albemarle and Che
sapeake Canal, has brought within our reach
vast tracts of country, upon which stands the
original growth Of OAK and pine. Just at this
time but little is doing, even at the North, in
the way of ship-building, but when the poll
teal affairs of the nation are quoted down,
and capitalists regain confidence in the sta
bility Of the Government, large fleets Of ships
must be built to replace the hundreds lost in
the war. When that day arrives, these tim
Der lands will be valued at high figure, and
we only wonder that shSewd men at the
North have not turned their attention to these
lands, now that they can he bought cheap.
We have Land Agencies i'll this city, that can
furnish all necessary information, and we call
the attention of our Northern friends to this
inviting fold for investment.

AN IMPORTANT LAW GOING
INTO OPERATION.
The Mational hnteNiqencer of dc 5th |

The National h'teNigencer Of the 5th says
By the tenth section of an act approved
March 8, 1868, (12 Statutes at Large, p. 1861
it is enacted that every claim against the
United States, cognizable by the Court Of
Claims, shall be forever barred, unless the pc
tition setting forth a full statement of the
claim to be filed in the court, or transmitted
to it, within six years after the claim first &C
crues, provided that claims accrued six years
before the passage of the act shall not be
barred if presented within three years after
the passage of the act.
Thus all claims against the United States
cognizable by the Court of Claims, and of
more than six years standing, will be barred
after the Sd of March, 1866.
The claims cognizable by said courts are :
/. All claims founded upon any law of Con-
gress; or 2, upon any regulation of any Ex-
ecutive Department or 8, upon any contract,
express or implied, except ~ claims growing
out of or dependent on any treaty stipulation,
and ~ claims for property damaged, destroy
ed, or appropriated by the army or navy en-
gagged in the suppression of the rebellion.
The above limitation, though contained in
an act respecting the Court of Claims, has been
by many supposed to extend to call claims
against the United States" whether prosecuted
before the Departments or offered to be set of
by Defendants in suits by the United States
against them as debtors.
