The Enquirer and Examiner, of the 22nd
inst, has capital article on the influence Of
freigAts on the pazue of Land He takes a
farm in Virginia and one in Iowa. the res
pective prices of which are 500 & $25 per
acre, and supposing the farm in Virginia to
produce s bushels Of wheat and the Iowa
farm - bushels per acre and calculating the
difference in cost of marketing, shows CON-
elusively the value Of the Virginia farm to
be $37, so per acre if the Iowa farm is
worth S25.
He takes two farms in yirginia-one de-
livering its own produce in market. the other
shipping by railroad, and shows the increased
cost of the one distant from market, on &C.
count Of transportation, and upon this basis
calculates the actual difference in value Of
lands in Virginia and in the Western States,
from which he shows conclusively, that, al
though Western lands raise little more
wheat to the acre than Virginia lands, yet
they actually cost, On account OF transporta-
ton of their products to market, nearly
five times as much, entirely too much to be
overcome by either increased production per
acre or greatly reduced rates Of transporta-
tion
If those at a distance desiring to invest
in lands will consider the subject, they will
come to Virginia, and other Southern States,
instead of going west, and many of our far
mers, who have the Western fever, if they
will ponder the subject little, will remain
content on their FARMS satisfied that in the
end they and their children will be greater
gamers than by moving to any part Of the
west.

A NEEDLE IN A LIVING Mans HEART
At one of the late meetings of the Academy
Of Science at slilan, Italy, DR.. Seradn Bissi
exhibited the heart Of al insane noplssaan
who died lately, and who at various times
attempted suicide, after he had killed his fa-
Their in one Of his insane fits. The unfortu-
nate man died of cancer of his tongue, which
he had bitten off during one of his excuses
of lunacy. When he was dissected needle
Of three inches in length was found ia his
heart. The coroner's court was Informed
that twenty two months before his death he
had told his parents that he had pierced his
heart with needle. They, of course, did
not believe it, because no change in the func-
tons of this organ could he remarked. He
never complained Of any pain ip the CHEST or
in the heart Scientific men regard this case
as being Of most extraordinary interest to
surgeons and ANTAGONISTS.

We have been frequently interrogated on
the subject Of the extension Of the Stay Law.
This subject Interests many of our people,
perhaps more vitality than any other at pre-
sent.
If Congress receives the State under the
constitution lately adopted by the people the
Stay Law will cease.
With regard to debtors the LynchJury
Nrgi',ian very pointedly says: sl.q,a
"There is great deal of needless appre-
hension entertained in this State, respecting
the effect Of the expiration Of the Stay Law,
which ceases with the acknowledgement by
Congress Of the new constitution. The epin-
ion prevails that about one fourth, or very
large portion Of the real estate of Virginia
will then change hands, at ruinous sacrifice
to the present owners. Those who take this
gloomy view of the subject lose sight of the
fact that the courts can, to great extent,
control this matter, and interpose to protect
the interests of the property holders. In all
cases, except where deeds of trust exist,
sales ofreal estate must depend upon decree
of court and no sales will permitted if the
proceeds of annual rental for term Of years
will liquidate the claim on account Of princi-
pal and interest. But in any case. it is COM
potent for the courts to have property APP
praised, and to set aside any sale where the
value Of the property, or something nearly
approximating it, has not been secured
This power Of the courts is ample to secure
laudholders against ruinous sacrifice Of their
property; and further, we have no doubt
that the Legislature will, by appropriate leg
islation, under the Constitution, see to it
that wholesale ruin be not thus inflicted upon
the debtors of the Commonwealth"
hThe Debtor class, however, are not likely to
be the only class that will be considered in
any Legislative action. Creditors will likewise
como in for share of protection. Probably
both creditors and debtors will be as nearly
equally considered as may be.
In any event the debtor, who can relieve
himself to any extent from his obligations.
by doing so will not be damaged by Legisla-
tive action. We therefore advise, all who
can, TO pay their creditors what they can.
Few creditors but would make very salts
factory arrangement with their debtors on re-
oeiving portion Of their old claims. This
course would make money easier and conduce
to the benft of all and perhaps not the least
to the debtor himself

Drs. Stribling and Brewer. after full and
free conference, came to the conclusion that
there were about fifty rhite lunatics in the
State who had not been provided for. OF
cozored lunatics there were now about $50
| unprovided for by the State, and forty in the
| Eastern Asylum. This number. it was fear
| ed, would Be largely increased by the suffer-
ing and starvation Of the coming Yinter.
| Of the 100 lunatics referred, to above, II
were now confined in Towards Grove Hos
4 pital, and provided for by the Freedmen's
Bureau, but General Howard himself could
| not tell at what moment that institution
would be closed, and the unfortunate luna
tics be thrown upon Richmond city and
Henrico county, or upon the State Of the
II lunatics now in hospital, some few were
residents of other States, and these, with the
aged and the decrepid, would be taken to
the National Hospital at Washington. The
remainder of the 100 colored lunatics are in
the county jails, Vhere many Of them are
kept in chains and badly cared for, for Eant
of proper accommodations.
The commission carefully considered the
best means of providing for the unfortunate
beings alluded to, Both of the asylums be.
ing full to their utmost capacity, 20 relief
could be expected Of them. To add to the
Eastern Asylum at this time was impracti.
cable, because of the rapid approach Of win
ter; and to mix the races in an asylum
would be of doubtful propriety. because Of
former antipathies and jealousies, WHICH
might be renewed, and lead to disturbances
and conflicts. 70 build 2 separate asylum
would require time, and cost at least $780,.
000-the sum Of $1,000 being the estima.
ted cost for each patient designed to be ac-
commodated in the building.
The commission, therefore, recommended
that arrangements be made for sending all
the colored lunatics in the State to the How
ards Grove Hospital. whore the accommo-
dations are ample, with some slight altera-
lions and repairs and where they can be
properly cared fss at less expense to the State
than in any other way. BY withdrawing

The omission Of any mention OF ampassadors'
seats in the last plan published By the Cctltd CATH
olica having been much commenced on by French
and Italian papers. the Jesuits have replied as fol-
lows in the Correspondence de Rorne:-
We do not speak OF places for the ambassadors;
ergo there viii be no ambassadors. Suc6 Is the logic
Of the Journals. Perhaps the architects and masters
of ceremonies had not agreed with respect
to these places Of honor; perhaps there was
motive for not entering into explanations about
them, especially as endless disputes are being car

that they Will not 1t might happen that IN reading
what we have written q place might be found clearly
sequence is false AZ to the ambassadors, we do nos
say whether they will coIue to the Council or
not. because we do not wish TO enter
We leave them to diplomatic journals. As to the
theoretical question OF the Intervention OF princes In

This rejOinder is certainly thoroughly JesuIticai,
and leaves the reader just much perpeyed as be-
fore as to the simple facts whether ambassadors are
expected or not, AMI whether seats viii be prepared
Tor them or not; but as soon as the works assume
anything like visible form shall be able to satisfy
your readers respecting this much discussed point.
