RoBBING DEAD Niger has heretofore
been thought the depth of human depravity,
but The Sacramento Reporter tells the story
of robbing dead Indian, which we think
caps the climax An Indian had been buried
In Siskiyou county, and, as is the custom,
his property, such as guns, money, etc, was
buried with him. The latter consisted of
twenty six dollars in American coin, which
was placed in his mouth. After the cere-
mOny was all over, and the earth still loose
over his grave, some persons having no re-.
spect or drefd Of the silent portals of the
tomb proceeded to cxhume the body, and
extract therrirom the twenty six dollars in
the mouth. The disturbcrs of the dead we're
not very particular how they extracted it
from the Indians mouth, and being unable
10 secure II easily they split his head open
The remains were not even favored with a
reILternent. We need scarcely add that the
,eader i6 the perpetration Of this outrage is
member Of the radical persuasion.

ALEXANDRIA.

The ADJACENT CoUNTRY.-It is important
for the interests of a city, that its cnvirOns
should be attractive, and its surrounding coun
try improved. Every country mansion, every
good farm house, as well as every acre of pro
ductive land, adjacent to a city or town, is Of
great benefit to the trade and business OF the
place of supply. The action is reciprocal-aS
the country improves the townimproves There
is 10 this respect to be marked advance in
the prospects OF Alexandria, and indeed, the
city is so situated that the heights which over,
look it, and the whole neighborhood, including
hill and plain present most desirable sites fol-
residences. Let any one stand on the road
leading up Shutters Hill and survey the ex
ause of land between Four Mile Run and
Hunting Greek, near the latter OF which
streams our beautiful city lies, reposlng on the
banks of the Potomac, and then cast his eyes
around on the eminences which overlook the
lovely scene, and he will be satisfied that no
more beautiful locations can be found for rural
retreats, then are to be selected within few
miles-nay within a mile of the city. The
heights extend all around the level river coun
try. just far enough from it to add to the beau
ty of the landscape. The eye is Toasted with
the sight Now, on all these hills, and In the
intervening valleys, We see that cottages, snug
houses, and sometimes larger buildings begin
to be erected. The land is increasing In value.
Market gardens are laid out-aUd orchards
and praperies commenced There is no health
Ter country in the world than the country ad-
iacent to ACKNOWLEDGMENT the city is one Of
the healthiest places on the Atlantic border
The soil is easily cultivated and susceptible OF
the highest Improvement. The market is
within half hours ride. Really, the whole
country Immediately adjacent to Alexandria,
and in Fairfax and Alexandria counties, pres
ents such attractions that we must recommend
il to the attention of all who want TO make in
vestments 10 laud, or desire to settle In the
neighborhood of city possessing the advan-
tages this does, The lands. too, are cheap.
We presume that Gen. Grant has no reason
whatever to complain of the manner in which
his election as President of the U. S. has been
received at the South, as evinced by the public
press and the people. Everywhere the kindest
feelings have been exhibited. No previous
difference of opinion has operated to repress
the hope that be may be all that his most in
telgeut political friends have predicted he
would be, as lar as regards the peace and pros
perity of the country. OF course nobody
wants the expectations of ultraists and extreme
lists to be fulfilled. But there is no sign of q
disposition to make iactious opposition to his
administration, or to thwart or cross him In
any patriotic purpose he may have-or to do
anything, in advance, which may give him
trouble or annoyance, in conducting the
affairs of the government. We repeat,
that in justice to the South, he must see and
acknowledge this himself

WHAT IS IT ALL For WHO can answer
this question satisfactorily, when he considers
the immense amount Of time which is ia ken up
and money expended in an Investigation, as
to whether Virginia can be safely trusted with
the management of her own affairs. Were out.
RACES upon person and property, as frequent
here as in some portions of the South, there
might be some proprie'y in asking whether t
man was safe, and estate secure. But we hear
of no such offences in Virginia. If the freed
men were the victims OF malicious persecution
Congress might feel bound to throw around
them the protecting arm of law. But we be
lieve that such crimes are not charged to VT,
GINA. What is all the agitation for, then
What evidence is there, that this State could
not be Immediately restored to the Union, and
her citizens to the full enjoyment Of their
political rights, without mourning any danger
to the interests Of our united people, or expos,

1t is right hard to bear with patience AFRO
