IMMIGRATION "A circular has been drawn
up and sent to various landowners and other:
owning lands on the various lines OF our inter
nal improvements. requesting their presence il
Alexandra on the 18th instant, for the pur
pose Of consulting together upon some pract
Cal plan by which emigrants may be induced
to settle in our midst, thereby adding wealth
70 the commonwealth and increased value tc
the alternate sections of land by the occupancy
cultivation and improvement of the intervening
positions. This is movement in which We
heartily concur. The gift of the lands to in,
dustrons and sober settlers would prove a wise
policy; for we really believe that ample re-
muueratiou in The enhanced value Of the alter
nate portions, would be secured. The aces
sion OF such a population to the commonwealth
by which her vast and unemployed domain
would be improved and rendered highly pro,
ductlve, some time ago occupied the attention
OF our board OF trade and others, who favored
IN immigration society, with large promises,
but nothing more. ''-NoyoH Journal

At the reception Of President johnson at
Chapel Hill, n. G., Gen. Sickles was called
out, and made speech, in the course OF which
he said:
HE had no responsibility in the enactment
OF the measures which he, as commandment in
the Carolinas, was now carrying out. 1t was 4
pleasing duty to bear testimony in the presence
OF his chief, as he had elsewhere, to the fact
that IN the difficult, and, as he might say,
arduous duties he had to discharge, he had had
the AID and encouragement and had been sus-
tanned by the opinion, countenance, and co op-
Grafton, Of vast majority of the citizens of
the Carollnas And he could add, no people
OF whom he had read, and among whom he
had lived, could bear themselves with more
honor, dignity, and order than had been ex
hlblted under the peculiar circumstances.

longs, and whether certain Of the clergy ought
not to be allowed to retire, without pay.

ALEXANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE7.

4 British Minister to this country, is report
ed to have said, once, in friendly converse
ton with distinguished citizen, that sif the
boundaries of the y. g. had continued to be-,
the Lakes on the North, the Ocean on the
East, and the Mississippi river on the West,
this government would have been not only one
of the strongest and mot powerful, but safest
and most enduring in the world" Whatever
people may now think of this opinion, it never
took with the public. Expansion and
manifest destiny have been the popular
watch words as we'll as catch words. We have
gone on expanding, until the whole boundless
continent, almost, lis ours 1t is not in
the minds of the LEADERS that you may lex,
pand' country until it breaks-or that ''man-
itest destiny may lead to other results than
peace and stability. 1t isrank political heresy,
We know, to even hint at such thing. Never
theless, the 'unprogressive" may, and coll
say, that present plethora IS not proof Of last
ing health, and that you may hog or break
the back Of nation by frightening the keel,
just as you can sink ship by the same pro-
cess. The par excellence Union men-Mr.
Secretary Seward, ioremost-are all great on
expansion and acquisition-even until the
North Pole is reached We tell them that
the problem is yet to be solved as to the long
continued union Of separate States over such u
vast extent of country. Our previous history
does not furnish the solution of the question.
The union "expanders may find that they
are, unconsciously, we suppose, loosening the
rivets which now fasten the States together,
just as effectualy, as secession or civil war
would accOmplish the same end.

Gen. 3. f. Butler, 10 letter read at the
Radical Mass Meeting in Washington, last
night, comes out positively for couGscation,-
The closing paragraph of his letter is as fol-
lows: us it not a self-evident political truth
that where the land is owned in large tracts by
the employer, to be TILED by the employed,
there can be no just and true field for the exer-
else of republican citizenship and it is one OF
the pressing exigencies Of the country, as the
very basis of reconstruction, that some plan
must be devised by which the lands Of the
South may be divided among those who shall
occupy and till them. q "Resolved, that
the earth is the Lords, and belongs to his
saioas: Resolved, that zoe are the saints. -

Our exchanges continue to notice tavorably
the effort making to organize plan Of emigra-
ton to Virginia. through the land owners
who, by selling small tracts, or alternate lots,
at low prices, can induce the settlement in this
section of the State, of industrious farmers and
workmen thus enhancing the value of the
lands they retain, and assisting in increasing
the wealth and resources of the whole State
Something practical, we trust, will result from
the effort. The land owners it very hberat
can effect great deal, intimately to their own
profit.

TOO Much of Tuis.

OF late it has seemed that the most
exemplary of people, the most certain
of salvation, were the murderers exc
cuted for tho committal of the worst
of crimes-while making their last
speeches on the gallows, these men
have professcd so loudly and so tri-
umphantly, their firm belief in the
certainty Of rapid transmission to
Heaven, that it would seom, the surest
road thither was through murder.
Has there not been too much of this
Has not the natural cxaltation and
excitement attendant upon so dread
ful death been allowed TO usurp the
place OF conviction, and has not thus
harm been accomplished by those who
exhorted and encouraged dying mur-
derers to assume all the religious con
victions Of persecuted martyrsg Fa-
naticism of the grossest nature is
doubtless eyinced by the miserable
beings we refer TO, and certainly the
influence of the unseemly displays
they make of q newly awakened reli-
gious belief is evil. The parade they
are allowed TO make is disgusting
because of its undue prominence, and
because we may not but doubt the
sincerity of the forced repentance,
prompting the pious assurance of the
dying. Up to the last moment they
deny their guilt, up TO the last mo
ment they seek TO escape the conse-
qnenoes Of their crime, and It's but at
the last, when death is made so evil
dent to them, that they assume the
tone of saints on earth, and depart
with assurances Of a speedy awaken
ing in Heaven. We do not deny all
powerful mercy, nor do we deny the
possibility Of sincere repentance and
conviction OF forgiveness, on the part
of the guilty, but depreeate the effect
TO be produced upon the masses by
these alleged sudden and certain tran
sits to better world, through the
medium Of Jack Ketch.-Erpress

Female Easnions.

Mark Twain, a witty writer, admires
the style of women's walking dresses,
and thus sweetly sings their praises
"Who shall describe the exquisite taste
and beauty of the new styles of ladies'
walking dressesy Taken as a class,
women can contrive more outlandish
and ugly costumes than one would
think possible without the gift of in
spiration. But this time they have
been felicitious in invention. The
wretched waterfalls still remain, of
course, bu. in a modified form; cvcry
change it underwent was for the bet
ter. First it represented a bladder of
Scotch snuff; next it hung down the
woman's back like canvas-covered
ham; afterward it contracted, and
counterfeited turnip on the back of
the head now it sticks straight out
behind, and looks like wire muzzle
on a greyhound. Nesting in the
midst Of this long stretch Of head and
hair reposes the little batter cake of
a bonnet, like a jockey-saddle on
race horse. You will readily perceive
that this looks very unique, and pretty,
and coquetish. But the glory of the
costume is the robe-the dress. No
furbelows, no founces, no biasos, no
ruffles, no cores, no flutterwheels, no
hoops to speak of-nothing but rich,
plain, narrow black dress, terminating
just below the knees in long saw teeth
Points downward } and under it a
flaming red skirt, enough to put your
eyes out, that reaches down only to
the ankle bone, and exposes the rest
less little feet. Charming, fascinating,
seductive, bewitehing. TO see a lovely
girl of seventeen, with her saddle on
her head, and her muzzle on behind,
and her veil just covering the end Of
her nose, come tripping along in her
hooplcss, red-bottomed dress, like
churn on fire, is enough to set a man
wild. l must drop this subject

DEXTER VIcroRrous.-The great
race between Dexter, driven by Doble,
against Brown George and running
mate, for purse Of $4,000, took place
on Tuesday afternoon, 23d ult., over
the Island Park Course, near Troy,
N. Y, and resulted in the success of
Dexter in three straight heats. Time
2:22, 2:20l and 2;20l. There were at
least 5000 persons on the ground,
aud great deal OF money changed
hands at 500 to $50 on the horse.
Dexter trotted the entire race with
out making a skip or break, and
turned the course each time under n
strong pull by his driver lie was
mover in better condition, and although
the track is a full mile, with sharp
turns, il is believed if he had been
forced to his full speed he would have
beaten his best time made on more
favorable tracks. The enthusiasm of
the spectators over his performance
was unbounded.

The merchant aforesaid was in the

told the gentleman from New York
that when customer camo in, after
letting him try on several coats, he
would say TO him that he had coat
which he had given n gentleman to
take home the night before who was
not satisfied with it and returned it,.
Perhaps it might fit his customer.
"Now you know" said he, call men
are more or less dishonest, SO / put a
pocket book into one Of the coat pock-
cts, which only cost me forty or fifty
cents. Now when he tries on the coat
he puts his hand in the pocket, and

advance on the usual price and he
