,o,or,,o tohacco culture OF Virginia seem, IN
.n;,,,or,soo an Improbable pursuit What
-. ,,,s more surprising Is that they are, IN
-, ,,orn ont lands But the gentlemen
=, >, whose hands they have fallen know how
:. soo,o,n, ,hcm and turn them TO good account.
T,ov know that, in the State of New York, soil
which was once composed of little better than
drifting sand has been converted by agricul-
tural science and industry into fertile helds
The result is, that the worn ont lands of Vir-
ginia have been made TO produce larger return
in money than those which We're not worn ont,
and upon which the old staples continued to be
cultivated. There are, however, vast bodies
of land convenient to orr water courses, III 'hc
famous peninsulas of Virginia, the soli Oh
which still retains its virgin freshness i"
fertility, indeed, is inexhaustibie abo''nuins
in immense beds OF mari "n''H '.-,
IN the farmers or gardeners perpetual
c.rt,,,zers at their very doors. 1t may
almost he said that at every mans door
there is also stream OF ha'iS"oo
rhore IS the peninsula between the James
river and the York, the peninsula oel"ec" 'iie
York and the Rappahannock, the pehihs"i'
between the Rappahannock ana the foloii''c'
MI large tidewater rivers, naNiSaple oS SO"
going vessels. Besides these, there Is Il i'ise
number of smaller streams intersectlhg Inc
whole tidewater country ef Virginia. anu
which enable farmers 20 transport the pro-
ducts of the soil by water from their Pithta-
tons 10 the larger streams. Virginia, Ill the
colonial days, possessed greater commerce
than any other American State. Her imports
from Europe in 1860 amounted to elght nun
dred and fifty thousand pounds sterling, While
those of New York were one hundred ana
eirhty-nine thousand pounds sterling. lhere
are houses still standing in Yorktown, or We're
before the war, which were once used 10 holo
goods imported for New York by way
of Virginia. The truth is, there is no
State whose natural facilities for COM
merce are so great; and though Virginia
may not very soon regain the commerciai
benefits which she derived from these
sources, they still remain TO afford the most
remarkable facilities for transportation 10 our
domestic markets OF the fruits of the soil The
farmer or gardener in the peninsula mas an
advantage over those farther north, by the
earlier production of the climate, ana over
those further south by the greater nearness
to market We shall not be surprised ut some
future day to see all the peninsula lands con-
yerted into gardens. They have the natural
fertility of gardens, and are within days
sail of all the principal Northern cities. These
cities are growing in population and wealth
at a rate which tasks the productive ener-
gies of all the available gardening districts in
the country for their supply. Indeed, Bal
timore, Philadelphia, and New York, which
bids fair to be anothd london in time, would
afford profitable market at this moment for
all the vegetable products of Virginia if the
peninsulas were employed entirely for garden

The South in Congress.


Congress still hammers away at the hes'o
and the South, to the neglect OF important
business of the country. 1t would oe pe'"i
for the nation il they would decioe ~ o"..
that the late Con federate States should DC w.
under military authority until the heA' .o
gross and then proceed with the puoie o",'
mass In the space of two years no ~" ns"'
wonld he thrown on the questions "hieh WY,
are continually agitating 10 the great disturb
ance of the peace and the business Oh the
country. In the mean time the SCUM Wouio
get along very quietly, and no doubt securely
nnder General GRANT and the army, VINO
would afford protection rs well as exercise
authority.
But we suppose there is no hope Of any such
suspension of the great business Of the doy-the
negro and the persecution of the South. Yes
terday in the United States Senate, the day was
pretty much devoted to it. The bill to enlarge
the powers of the Frcedmen's Bureau was
discussed long time. While under discus
sion, an amendment was proposed resuie.ihs
it's operations 10 the Southern States. ihis
amendment was opposed by Mr.. WILSON, OF
Massachusetts, and supported by Mr.. CowAS,
of Pennsylvania, who declared that II the
Bureau must exist, he was opposed TO placing
any Of the loyal States within its grasp. The
amendment was rejected.
In the House, Mr.. STEVENS, from the Commit
tee on Reconstruction, introduced an amend
ment 10 the Constitution, which, If passed by
a two.thirds vote in both Houses, and
approved by the Legislatures of three-fonrths
of the States, becomes part of the Constitu-
ton. This proposition has been looked for; it
is intended TO base representation in Congress
upon the voting population, so that if negroes
are not allowed to vote they shall not be inclu-
ded in the numbers forming the basis OF repre-
sentation. The same article was introduced
into the Senate. 1t was discussed for some
time in the House by Mr.. ROGERS, of New Jer-
sey, against it, and Mr.. CoSKLING, of New
York, i'll favor.
The introduction Of the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution shows that the Radi-
Gals, not sure of the comforting of the suffrage
on the blacks, are endeavoring TO throw an
anchor to windward-or is it proftered com
promise 10 the President and the Conserva-
tiyes?

Scrofula, or Kings Evil

is constitutional disease, a corruntion ~ q.
blood, by which this fluid becomes viti,,sJ
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation =
pervades the whole body, and may burs, s,t
in disease on any part of it. No organ is hes
from its attacks, nor is there one which il NAV
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variousy
caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air. flth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What.
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation :" indeed,
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, ~
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and On
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, dspressss
the energies of life, SO that scrofulous eonstitu-
tions not only suffer from scrofulous COM.
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks OF other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this taint in ths
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys brain.
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulcus;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovata
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exereiss..
Such medicine we supply in
