Several typographical errors occurred
yesterday in the very able and exhaus-
tive communicated article on the Italian
Kingdom. The brilliant and witty
VoItaire styled the Jesuits the "Janiza-
ries of the Pope" and not the "ganiza-
ries,p as it was printed. In the name
of our types, we ask pardon of the spirit
OF the great French poet, and of the
author ofthe article, and the Janizaries
of the Pope.

We freely acknowledge that we were
somewhat hasty in our structures upon
the Petersburg Express few days
since, and may have done it uninten-
tionally some injustice. The general
tone of the Express has been mild and
conservative, and its course has been
calculated to conciliate the jarring ele-
ments of social and political disagree
ment in this section, and therefore it
cannot properly he classed as an enemy
to the best interests Of the country. We
had forgotten, too, that its frank and
liberal course had made it enemies
enough, without our joining in the cry
against il.

BENEFIT FOR Mrs. SToNEwALI
JACKSON. We trust the theatre will be
crowded to its fullest capacity tonight.
Norfolk should show what it is really
able and willing to do for this deserving
lady. The bill offers very attractive
performance, and we shall see many
new faces on the stage; but that makes
little difference the main attraction is
the charitable object of the entertain
ment. Not only should the theatre be
crowded in all its parts, but every
attendant should purchase half a dozen
tickets beside. Let ,is do the thing VI
grandly.

There are many thousand of acres
of Swamp or Overlooked lands with
in the State of Wisconsin. Some of
these lands have been donated to
the state for school and other pur-
poses. In the Manesha district on
Lake Winnebago, and north Of there,
all the cedar and cranberry swamp
lands were granted to the state, by
special act OF congress, on certain
conditions to be complied with by
the state. These lands were survey
ed by the state, at state expense in
accordance with the Land Grant Act,
and are now patented to the state,
and the title rests in the state.
There are other overlooked land
in the bottoms or valleys Of tho Wis
consin and Mississippi rivers, that
never have really been ceded tc the
state. They have been surveyed at
the states expense. The United
States never have patented these
lands to the state. There has been
a government survey-the title rests
in the government-they are subject
to entry the same as other public
lands. This is all there is about it.
The lands will some day be brought
into market and can be bought at
government price-sl,25 per acre.

A Fenian Discovery.

The Fenians have been very anx.
ious to find out what was done with
all the gold they sent TO john Mitch
ell in Paris. The amount was sup
posed to be $4,000 When Head
Center Stephens was in Philadelphia
moath ago making q Copperhead
harangue and denonncing the Rob
erts party, he was asked what had
become Of the $50, 600 in gold sent TO
Mitchell =? TO this questjcr the Head
Centre, with u wave Of his hand and
knowing wink Of his eye, replied,
"Oh, don't mention John Mitchell,
he wants to be forgotten" The idea
conveyed to his hearers was, that
Mitchell had committed breach Of
trust and pocketed the geld, which
was intended to be used to promote
Fenianism in Ireland. But the back
handed compliment has brought
back singing and damaging letter
from Mitchell. He declares that the
sum he received from the Fenians in
the United States amounted to $75,
600 in gold, and that the whole of
this sum RENTED to him, was pid
over to Head Centre Stephens him
self, and that be (MitchelD holds the

discovery puts Stephens in the light
Of rascal and q swindler in the
eyes of his countrymen. He is now
in the employ Of the Copperhcads,
travelling about in the East, cleo
tioneering among the Fenians to sup
port the Copper johnson policy, and
meeting with rather indifferent sue

ga correspondent of Cincinnati
Commercial, who has had an interview
with Gen. Sheridan, reports that tho
latter expressed himself as follows;
" He said there was an undoubted
change for the worse in the attitude
of the South within the last six
months, and bad symptoms appeared
to be increasing. 1t now looked as
if these infatuated people were about
to precipitate their own misfortune.
Nothing could have been more COM
siderate than the disposition of the
nation toward its defeated foes, even
in the heat OF passion and the flush
Of victory, and had the rebels only
manifested temper accordingly
reasonable, as indeed, was very na~
tural to be expected after such chas-
tiscmcnt, there could have been no
further difficulty. The South evil
IDENTIFY had no statesmen, else so plain
q problem would not continue to be
SO bungled. For it should be clear
that no class, once set free can long
remain DISTINGUISHED, and as they
ought to have torestalled their foes
in giving freedom to that class in war,
SO afterward common sense ought to
have prompted at least the later pru-
dence of making allies IN peace of
those with whom they are bound
henceforth to live. Instead, howeve
err, it appeared certain the rebels had
learned nothing from experience, and
would, in fact, drive their only
chance into unfriendly hands. The
safety of the public peace and Of the
private rights of Union mon in the
South is by military force, and if called
upon to give his testimony, it should
be, that the United States troops
ought not to be removed from the
South"

WANT THE NEGROES TO STAY.-We
We're told that if the negroes were
free the whites Of the South would
not endure their remaining 10 the
country, and it would be necessary
for the Government to assume the
responsibility and expense of finding
homes for them in some other coun-
try. Recently. in some parts Of the
South, the negroes are entering, with
considerable enthusiasm, into the
project of emigrating to Liberia, at
their own expense, and it is difficult
to get them to stay or to work
Meeting Of the planters are being
held in some localities, to held out
inducements to the negroes to remain
in this country, and promising prop
or treatment if they do their duty.
