"STR1KEs. THE folly Of strikes is made
strongly apparent by a statement in the Chlca-
20 Tribune of the history Of one which occurred
in that city last year. That paper says:
"Thirteen months ago some ficc thousand
mechanics and others of Chicago, resolved that
they would reduce their hours Of labor one
fifth and for eight hours require the same
wages that were given for ten hours labor
They struck, and on the LIST of May, 1867, pa
radcd the streets with music and banners. The
majority of these men remained out of work
for one month, others for two months, W hen
they returned to the old wages, and worked at
the old hours. Hundreds OF them never o.
tanned work at any price or hours, and had to
go elsewhere where they were not known.
That strike cost these people half a million Of
dollars 10 loss of wages; that is, they received
tn at sum less than what they would have re-
ceived had they worked on

The VIRGINIA LANDS are at preeart
more sought by northern men than by foreio.
negs. During the Spring months and sireo
Summer has setjn, numbers OF capitalists have
been viewing lands in different portions Of lbo
State, especially along the lines Of railroads
with the view Of purchasing. and many excel
lent farms have lately changed hands. CoTId
our country be restored so that pea2s and oniot
would once more prevail, the number Of t6cSc
land buyers would be largely increased. AMI
it is natural that it should be so ; for wbila
the West is great, rich and growing countrv
offering broad and inviting field to the man
who is resolved to hew his way through Tla
and make his fortune by hard blows at the COS,
Of any struggle whatever, Virginia is the field
to allure that class Of persons who desire quiet
homes; who seek to combine as many Of the
temporal comforts as possible; who, while
making more than acOmpetcncy for their lami.
lies would secure the benefits Of social culture
aud refined hospitality. No man, who is able
to buy lis way and who is disposed to cultivate
