MIR. TUCKER-BALTIMSRE.

All Of the Virginia papers are regret
ting the removal of Hon. j. Randolph
Tucker to Baltimore. Many of them,
indeed, seem disposed to complain, and
some are almost ready to censure him
for SO doing.
HIS departure will make sad gap in
the charming society of Middleburg'
but he is perfectly right. 1t IS the du-
ty of every Virginian, who can. to go to
Baltimore and live there. IT the peo-
pie of Virginia will neglect their own
cities and allow them to languish in
hopeless poverty; if they will build up a
vast and magnificent city, which pays
not one cent of tax into the State treas
ury, it is their bounden duty to take
possession bodily of that city. 1t is the
only way to get their money back.
And they are going to do this very
thing. Nay, they have been doing it
ever since the war ended. We attach
no little importance to the fact that the
present Mayor of the city, Robert I.
Banks, Esq, is a yirgin!an. The influ-
ence of Virginlans in trade is leading {;
In society, almost controlling. The
only thing that reeOneiles us to the rap
id growth of Baltimore, at the present
expense of Virginia, is the fact that that
city (and Washington as well) will one
day belong to Virginia. This, We
think, is absolutely certain. Why we
think so, we may one day tell. Mean
while it is the imperative duty of Viz
ginians to precipitate themselves en-
maSse upon Baltimore; and it is the du-
ty no less imperative of Virginians now
living in Baltimore to find or make a
place for all Virginians who come there.
They may as well take possession OF the
city in advance. 1t is theirs by right.
They made it.

sPRAGUE'S PLAN,

Governor Sprague's plan of finance,
in effect, is resumption of-specie pay
ments. 1t provides for getting out
among the people representatives OF the
money now hoarGed in the Treasury.
1t provides for more, in that the class
OF people who hoard gold because the
Government boards it can deposit their
gold in the Treasury and receive inter-
est upon it. The effect will be to throw
into business circles the one hundred
millions Of dollars, more or less, that is
now locked up by the Government
All the gold or coin now in banks $780,
DOC, 900 more or less,) will find the same
destination. TO the same end will come
the sl0O, O0O,0 900 now boarded by private
parties. The aggregate sum OF quar-
Ger of thousand of millions Of dollars,
now all locked up and bringing no in
terest, once more restored to business
channels and exchangable for other
values or the products of labor in all
Etorms, will infall;bly lift up the conn
try from its deplorably depressed bust
ness condition.

RICHEST BOOK IN THE WORLD.

Nothing need be said in praise of the
new edition of Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary. Its completeness surpasses
the thought of any one who has not ex-
amned it. Add to this vast variety
of classified Pictorial Illustrations. OF
almost every ply steal science embraced
in the studies of the age, with various
other departments, and the work is the
richest book of information in the toorld. -
There is probably more real education
in it than can be bought for the same
amount of money in any languages. -
Every parsonage should have copy at
the expense ofthe parish. Itwould inn
prove many pulpits more than trip to
Europe, and at much less cost. NY.

to Fort Harrison yesterday to see about

of the onfederate dead, found that the
statements made by our correspondent
were strictly true-the remnants IN

bearing the evidence of being thrown
uY by the plowshare.
1t was narrowing sight to those who
revere the memory Of our dead soldiers,

EN- with the remains of the head, which
as we were informed were carried to

set apart for the unknown soldiers. 1t
is stated that many of the skulls had
been dug up by negroes and the teeth
knocked out to procure the gold plugs
with which they were filled. These
details are too horrible to write or think
about. There is still much work for
