when man is not refused registration be-

Virginia Real Estate.

Along with some just complaints there is
great deal said about the disposition of
land-holders in Virginia that is entirely I'M
founded. Some visitors to Virginia from
other States are not free from blame
for injustice in their conclusions about
Virginians, their feelings, and opinions.
We believe that there are few land-hold-
ers that hold their property at too high
prices. While there are thousands of acres
of land freely offered at less than fourth OF
its value. 1t Is therefore very unjust to
make the sweeping assertion that Virginians
ask too much for their farms. Those who
say this have either failed to make inquiry
beyond a very limited range, or they
came Boosting of a purpose to buy
which they really did not entertain,
and sought to excuse themselves for
not buying by the declaration that the peo-
pie asked too much for their land. Some,
again, come here expecting to get land for
nothing, or as nearly nothing as possible.
OF course the land is too high for such per-
sons Virginia is not wilderness; her
people have some energy, and their habits
and capabilities are not such as to make the
land they dwell upon valueless. When men
come here, therefore, expecting to buy land
with paucty Of means entirely contempti
BILE compared with the extent of their pro.
posed purchases, they must be disappointed
They emulate an old lady who lived upon Q
western road, who, when droyer asked
her If she did not want to buy few calves
In his drove that were weary with travel
replied that she would take dozen or sc
If the drover snould change u fue-dolIa'
note Such land-buyers as these, and those
who come upon half fare to CRAFTY mere
curiosity, who 60 back with their stories
are not to be believed. They do not know
the people of Virginia, and speak at ran
dom to hide their own disappointments o.
their real motives in coming to the South. ,
But there is a class OF sincere and honest
gentlemen who come with means and with
the desire to purchase land in Virginia
Many of these buy, and others do not, fol
reasons satisfactory to themselves. But we
havS&ho idea that these gentlemen return
home with misrepresentation of Nirginians
unless through errors of misconceptior
owing to accidental causes. There are .
great many things which enter into the
making up OF the estimates of the
values of land--especially the surround
ing circumstances. The political status
of the State nearly up to the pre-.
sent time has been bar to investment
with a number Of intelligent capitalists,
and the period since we got control of onr
own Government is little too short to
authorize the expectation of a decided
kaoyement in Virginia lands. This and
other matters OF consideration have not
failed to bear upon the minds of sagacious
and sincere men. But they will have only
a temporary influence, and in due time
Virginia lands will not only be justly valued,
but will be sought for more eagerly than at
my former period. The climate, health,
md genial atmosphere OF the State cannot

ginia as the most favored of all for the puE-

There is one thingwhich 1t IL time for the
people of Virginia generally to avoid. That
is, looking uponthe dark side Of the picture
and dwelling upon their misfortunes. in -
has been too much habit with US ALE ~
has repealed many stranger VINO CANE ~
VIRGINIA with an admiration for the ecate
and her people. They heard too nuen -
the sorrows and expressions OIL ,n..
and NOT enough of her rich natural ehoo"-

unfortunate. There may DC ipe''i-
rboIv pleasure in describing mlsior'uhes
and weaving the pitiful story OF disaster

,horo should be au end of it. 1t may be eX-
.uS.b,e when calamity is fresh and the GU
riositv of the stranger unlocks the breast to
nour out its woes. It Is time now for all to
turn their back upon sadness and mistor-
tune. and look ahead with hope and cheer
fillness. To be always brooding over mis-
cry Is fatal to manly energy and success.
There is no reason for dependency now.
There is that in the soil, the waters, and
the air of Virginia, and in the resolution
and force of her people. that will triumph
over all adverse fortune, and make her one
OF the greatest States in her wealth ana
numerical strength. Time will rapidly show
this, and sagacious men will not he slow to
avail themselves Of the chances to rise with
the State and share in the rich rewards that
will flow to those who participate in the
development of her unbounded wealth.
