RICHMOND. VA, May 18th.
The L. S. Court was packed this morning
4 military guard was placed around it, and
a strong police force inside. About 20 la
dies were among the spectators: also, so
negroes.
ALTA. NJ. Davis was brought in. and
took his seat next to the prisoners box with
General Burton and the L. 5. Marshal. A
servant accompanied him.
Gen. Bart0n's return to the writ of habeas
corpus was read, and the Judge compli-
lnnctcd Il en-. Burton on Obeying the laws.
and relieved him of the custody OF Davis.
and the Marshal immediately served on
him a bench warrant to answer the Norfolk
Indictment.
Mr.. O'Connor spoke of Davis long i'm
prisonn,ent and feeble health, and asked
that he be bailcd. There being no opposi-
ton on the part Of the prosecution, the
Court fixed amount Of bail at 800 600.
The Judge announced his readiness to
accept bail. stating. ut the same time, that
the responsibility of delay in bringing the
case of Mr.. Davis into the Court rested up
Oh the Government, and not upon the Dis
trict Attorney. He also said the amount
Of bail should be given by persons residing
IN the State of Virginia.
The sureties then came foward-IIorace
Greedy being among the first. followed by
MIR. Schcll of New York. Jackman of Phil
adelphia, and others. A number of gen.
tlemen residing in Virginia offered their
names as bail.
Mr.. Davis was congratulated by several
friends. but there was no demonstration or
noise Of any kind. After giving bail to
appear at the November term of the Court
Mr.. Davis was taken in coach to the
Spottswood Hotel.

~BuY Land

Oaf recent remarks under this head have
been construed to mean that every man
shouldturn farmer Such was not our idea
We woul,l not advise any one who has a.
good trade aud employment ut 1t to quit
working and try his luck at Il new vocation.
Let every one who has good business cling
to 1t but let him at the same time provide.
80 far as he may, against the contingency
of its cessation. In short. let every one
WHO has any money which he does not need
in his present pursuit SO invest 1t as to put
a roof over his head which belongs to no
landlord. and which no writ of cjectmcnt
can deprive him. II he can afford to buy
a farm. larger or smaller. very well: land
simply laid down in grass and well treated
will pay something annually. and will al
most certainly be worth more dollars five.
ten. twenty, thirty years hence than it now
is. But many poor man may make him
self owner of a cottage and an acre or so,
which he may cherish as u home, and where
on he can probably eXpcnd his odds and
ends of time. to the signal increase of his
own health and strength. A few choice
vines and fi,,it-trees. n patch of vegetables,
Il bed of strawberries, altogether forming a
pleasant, productive garden. will help to
constitute no ncstcad. humble indeed but
far more attractive and enjoyable than any
city lot can supply. Children will be far
more healthy. more tenacious of life, when
reared in such home, than when they
grow up compressed in space p feet by

board fence ut the bacl, ofthe lot. An acre
Of land will enable any wise man to train
his children to helpfulness in rural industry
and robustness of frame which will prove
blessing to them throughout their lives.
Again we say. Buy land. Do not run i'll
to debt. DO not fancy that ignorance and
ineXpcricncc can prosper in farming any
better than in other pursuits, nor that any
pursuit Is free from vcxation and trouble.
You will have to buy the wisdom yoa lax

ward of his industry, the subsistence of

EDIroR.-f have always thought myself a

Ellsworth. and five bushels of 1t gave me
two hundred pounds of better -four than
