almost anywhere for from SIS to $40
per acre, and even at half those prices
further in the country. Improved farms
IN the interior Of both States, there is
not the slightest doubt, sell almost every
day for less money-good land, we say,
which, although it may have been used
for many years, is yet susceptible of a
highly improved fertility. and with
good care and attention may be made
rich and highly valuable-and this is
only impartlpg information within the
knowledge Of every person among us
all men will bear testimony to the
truth ofour statement.
Now, with the means at the disposal
OF this family-we suppose they could
hardly buy any land at all in England
They might buy 80 or even 100 acres,
II 1t were desirable, enter upon its pos
session at once, and go right to work,
and they would not have even to
trough it" longer than the first year.
for it is astonishing how soon convent
ences and comforts will spring up
around the dwelling of the earnest, in-
dustrious and faithful worker, in a eli
mate so propitious and on a soil SO
kindly as that of Virginia. 1t is really
lamentable to hear the complaint of our
correspondent that ono one knows any,
thing about Virginia here" The very
information he desires ought to have
been impaired any time with the last
two years through hundred different
channels.
Our correspondent says, "To land at
Norfolk friendless, aud without even the
help that is afforded by paid agency,
requires good courage" But this is not
necessarily the case. We have State
Board of immigration. with whom emf
grants can correspond, and from which
they can obtain the necessary inforna-
ton to guide their steps. Major w. A.
Richardson is President of the Board, in
Richmond. Besides, we have a COM
mittee of the Board Of Trade, and land
agents, who are quite ready to counsel
and assist emigrants in their search for
eligible locations and attractive lands;
and we have reason to believe, tn at
through one or all of these means every
needed assistance may be obtained. AL
Of those we know are gentlemen of high
character, whose views and representa-
tons may be depended upon.
Upon the whole, we arc inclined to
think, that upon fair view of the case
and proper information, doubts and diff
fculties will yanish. Our people are
willing aud very anxious to welcome all
who will come to Virginia with the in
tents and plans of the party under
consideration; and we can assure them,
that they will meet with all the facili-
ties and kindness they may require from
all the good people of our "sunny
cline"
As we design sending number OF
copies of the Day Book to our cores
pondent, we wish to name to him sew
eral OF our most reliable land agency
firms, with which he and his friends
can correspond, in regard to the price,
location, &c. of tracts of land in this

Havana, May 1.-THE Diario to-day
published meagre report of an en-
gagement between the troops under
Gen. Lesca and the insurgents, at ALA
gracia. 1t says the rebels offered a
more determined resistance than in any
previous battle, and acknowledges that
the Spaniards lost Colonel, Captain,
and six privates killed, and thirty
wounded. 1t claims that the rebel loss
was heavy but did not give the num-
bers.
The rebels have burned the village of
San Miguel, near Neuvitas. Puerto
Principe is reported plentifully supplied
with provisions. It is expected that the
Prensa, of this city, will soon suspend
publication.
