PETERSBURG, February %, 1868

PETERSBURG, IcUTudty 10, 1oOos
The news received by telegraph from
Washington during the day has caused a
good deal of excitement here, though not
so much among tho white population as
the black. Crowds Of the latter congre-
gated around the bulletin boards, kept
there by sort Of fascination, listening to
the dispatch as it was read from time to
time by those who were more accustomed
to decyphering manuscript. From the
stolid expression of their features it was
difficult to divine their thoughts; but most
probably they were only sensible Of a con-
fusion of ideas in their own brains.
But if they are poor politicians, they
are accomplished thieves. Last night a
poor lady living some fifteen miles out in
Dinwiddie, by the name of Mrs. Warren,
had the only horse she owned taken from
her stable-one that she had raised, and
on which she relied for tending her crop
this year. Suspicion very strongly points
to negro in the neighborhood. The horse
was tracked to the city, where all traces
of him was lost. It is probable, however,
that the police may effect some discovery.
A number Of persons from the North
have lately visited Virginia to examine our
lands. Some are very much pleased with
certain farms in the neighborhood of this
city, and have entered into negotiations
for their purchase. hear of one exten.
siye tract lying on the Appomattox fol-
which large price has been offered. A
gentleman of my acquaintance, originally
from the State Of New York, but who ha.
been living here for number of years
informs me that he is almost daily il

He thinks that as soon as matters become
somewhat settled there will be larg
influx of emigrants from that quarter.
The Rev. DR.. Sears, agent for the Pea
body Association, has been invited b.
Mayor Collier to address the Commo
Council at an early day next week, an,
he has consented to do it. According t

MIRACLES EXPLAINED BY ANALOGY
The March No. of Psltnan.'s magazine
says:
"It is very true that God cannot be ex-
pected, in miracle, to overturn or suspend
the fixed laws Of Nature. Such detini-
ton of miracle makes it impossible. The
man who lifts a weight masters gravity,
but he docs not suspend the law. He only
puts the fiat of his will on his muscles, and
by the contracting and counter-pull OF
these, the weight rises. So Gods super
natural fiat acting into, or interactipg with,
the laws and causes of Nature, may pro-
duce all miracle without disruption of
order. There is no difficulty here save in
getting our own conceptions of Nature ard
the supernatural so adjusted as to allow
their co0rdinated and regularly system
atized action. And there is no difficulty. ID
this greater than there is in percelvlng
every moment that we have actions OF our
own, entering freely into causes, being
themselves uncaused-in which we so far
do the supernatural ourselves, without
having even doubt or question raised"

To the Creditor Class of the People of Vir-
ginia
It is known to you that in May, 1866,
brought suit in the Circuit Court of Rich
mond for the purpose Of setting aside what
thought to be most unwise act Of legis-
lation-unwise, first, because it disre-
garded the interest Of the creditor, leaving
him without hope of recovering his debts !;
and second, it was clear to me that it WAS
unconstitutional. Had the Legislature
been contented with the stay law enacted
at Alexandria in 1864 it would have been
satisfactory to the creditor, as that law
held out to the debtor no hope of being
discharged from his obligations by legisa-
tive enactments. And thus the high moral
sentiment heretofore pervading the good
Old State would have been preserved.
A decision has been had upon that law
so far as deeds of trust were concerned.
did not wish to open the whole subject
of stay laws, as / felt that 8 decision on
that branch of the enactment would con-
vince the debtor that all of his contracts
would have to DO complied with, and he
would make his arrangements to settle
with his creditors. So

How TO TELL THE LENGTH OF Your
L1FE.-Last evening DR.. 7. S. Lambert
| icctured before large audience i'll Stein
way Hall upon Longevity and Brevevity,"
the latter word being rather unlawfully
coined by him as antithetic to the former.
The Doctor maintained that the age to
which any man could arrive, even with the
utmost care, was determined within very
narrow limits by that to which bis ancestors
had arrived. He treated vitality through
out as quantitative force. Each person
inherited certain amount, which was spent
in certain time, and this time might be
short although health was good and strength
great. The natural period of life, how
ever, could, Of course, be shortened by in
attention to the laws Of life. He claimed,
furthermore, that there were personal in
dications by which one could determine
whether he was probably long-lived or
short. lived, in the absence of knowledge
of his inheritance in that respect, or as
confrmatory of such knowledge. These
indications he did not consider to be as
well-ascertained and defined as they might
be and would be-the science was as yet
in its infancy-but from observations in
thousands of cases he had discovered q
portion of them. Indications of longevity
were to be found in depth of brain be-
tween the eyebrows and the opening of
the ear, in long oval face, in large nose,
in hazel eyes, in long body relatively to
the limbs, in moderately dropping Shout
ders, and moderately long neck; "breve-
vity," in shallowness of the brain in the
region mentioned, in limbs disproportion-
ately long to the body, in too long or too
short neck, and in a peculiar light blue
circle to be seen round the pupils Of some
persons eyes. The audience was evident
ly much interested in the theories of the
lecturer.-Neao York World.
