A Government officer stationed at Ricr,-

A Government officer stationed at Ricl,-
mond, Va, writes here that negro labor is
at discount in that portion Of Vir~~Inia
The extensive sales Of land in small LOTIONS
to white immigrants, who arc cIiltivating
the land themselves, renders it necessary
for colorcd laborers to 20 furt ncr South in
order to seek employment. Over three
hundred colored people hAvc gone South
by rail from Virginia in the last month.
Indications are that the number during the
present month will bc, greatly in excess of
last month"; Washington tclcgram-Ne,c
York Tribune.
The report from Richmond about a de-
FeloplnS .ehdency of negro emigration
southward may be premature or exaggera-
ted. Bu's the influence Of the recent white
settlers on small parcels Of land in that State
canrot be mistaken. The negroes must
elmer prepare to secure similar tracts of
, land for themselves or go further South.
The system of cultiyating great plantations
by large gangs of hired negroes is approach
ing its end in Virginia. Small farms, labor
by the owners Of the soil, improved tillagc,
and consequent prosperity, are the future of
the Old Dominion. The negroes there who
are capable of taking their place in this
movement will share this future. The rest
of them are likely to tend southwards.-
Editortat-Nc,C York Tribune.
(Thc negroes are good laborcr>, but better
stcalcrs-that's the trouble. If negroes
were honest, land around Richmond would
sell for twice rs much as it does now.]

LORD MACAULAY's LETTER TO Mn. RAN
DALL.-A letter criticising the working OF
republican institutions, which was written
by Lord Macaulay Ohen Mr.. Macaulay)
some twenty years ago, has been rcpub-
li>hcd by a weekly paper and the CONNER
cidl 1drcrtiser doubts the genuineness of
the letter, saying I" It is not in the style of
Lord Macaulay, and there is one sentence in
it which it is impossible he ever wrote" 1t
was, nevertheless, written by Macaulav, and
is genuine. 1t was originally published in
this journal some eight or ten years ago
Nc'C l-ork Times.
That part Of the sentence to which the
Commercial objects is as follows:
"I seriously apprchcnd that q"
you will act Ike people would in 4 year of
scarcity"
The Commercial says this is 4 thoroughly
Nir%inian sentence. Perhaps so. At any
rate, Fir@inians ought to he satisfied to
write as good English as that of Lord Ma
caulay. The Commercial is wise above
what is written. "Likc" is not only an
adjective, as it Supposcs, but is an advcrb,
as it does not suppose. "Quit you like
men," (would quit thcmsclvcs,) is a scrip
tural phrase" good, old English"
