Don't Sell Your Lands.

We 70 produce from tho Richmond
Times, Of the 30th ult., the following
brief but excellent piece of advice to
Southern prop'istors:
LIE. no Sou,hern proprietor be in haste
TO sell his land. Our lands and our hon.
or constitute sbou, the only property of
value left Us by tie war, and there are
not wanting men WHO would have US part
with both upon terms too Dear to be ae.
csp,abls. High taxes, bard times, disgust
with freedmen, and with the revolution in
tha agriculture Of the South, will probably
drive many Of our people to hasty and
uncomfortable sacrifices oftbsir real estate
Such a course would be eminently unwiss
and imprudsnt. THIS, Of all times, is the
worst period to sell, because land is anna.
zingly cheap every whore, but is not desc
tined 10 continue so. The very fact Of
J the cheapness OF our lands will soon in.
, augurats a desire 10 obtain them, which,
stimulating competition from increased
dem and, will enhance their value. More.
over. the prospect Of European war will
vastly increase the food of immigration
to this country for those foreigners know
what war is, and tens Of thousands will
seek TO escape it. Most Of these immi
grants will bring with them some money
} which they never fail to iuves, in LITTLE
farm, cultivated on the European sys
, tom.

BLHBrRs, 8. G. r R, June s.


Editor Charleston Daily NeSs:
This evening, between three aud four
o'clock, a terrific cloud arose in the west,
accompanied by a fearful tornado. which
swept through our village, denolishing
everything in iM track. trees, &c. aad
striking the building Of the Allen Lodge,
at that time used AZ school room by
Mr. Robert Sssbrook and his sister. com.
plsiely DESTROYED it, burying under its
ruins seven Of the unfortunate children
who belonged to the school.
II seems that tie children were having
a little party among themselves, and
were just in the act Of preparing .ome
refreshments. when the lorna struck
the building, dsmolishing it aim ost in
simultaneously, crushing to death those
who were unable TO get out. Through
the presence Of mind ofsoms OF the larger
boys, several OF the children escaped, who
would otherwise have undoubtedly been
lost.
The names Of those who were lost ar,
~ follows: Angus Brabham. son o

Stewart, bssidss several others moro O
less seriously injured, including the old =,
son Of Mr.. William Rsnnett. who va
severely cut on the head by sons Of tn
flying timber.
Thus at one blow. has eur town bee
plugged in the dsepest gloom by one I
the most awful visitations that has ev,

The Test Oath.

In the U. S. Cour. At Richmond, On
the 9th instant, John II. Gilmer, Esq, an
attorney at the bar Of Virginia, renewed
an application previously made, to re.
sumo practice in that court. The Ian.
guags Of Judge Underwood iu reply, was
singular piece Of judicial ruling. Hs
said:
"Tha, he knew it to be in coAtsmpla.
ton by some Of the most radical men in
Cong eress to repeal the disqualifying Act
Of January. 1864, and was Of the opin.
ion that the Act would be repealed before
the adjournment Of TIE present Congress.
It, repeal has bssa strongly urged upon
Congress by'a majority Of tho Supreme
Court Inssmuch as this question has
been very ably argued during the past
winter. and reargusd before the Supreme
Court Of the United States, he felt great
dslicacy in undertaking 20 60 farther than
to simply acquiesce in Whatever course
tho gsntlemsn Of the bar we're disposed
to take. There would be no departure
from the usual course on the part Of this
Court, unless an objection should bs made;
bu, he hoped ,ha. no objection would b
} made at this time, believing that the Act
would soon be repealed. He stated dis.
! tinctly, that be would not object to any
, gentleman prsc,iciag in bis Court, who
D had formerly been accustomed 10 do 30

he desired, and that he should practice IL
