IMMIGRATION TO VIRG1NIA.-Coni. Nj. e.
Maury has just issued circular to the farm
ers OF Virginia, setting forth the undevcoped
resources of the State, and the advantages of
immigration. To encourage immigration he
proposes the following plan
II have already indicated concert Of action
and joint contribution. Let nc illustrate !:
Suppose the farmers in one Of the counties
should club together and aim to get two hun
say 1000 souls in ALTO come from abroad
end settle among them. Suppose that they
were to offer forty acres OF land on long credit
say seven years, without interest-on condl-
ton that the new corners would settle on It and
improve it.
Let US calculate the profit AID loss: In the
first place. the wealth of the county would be
increased 81 200, 900 by the presence Of these
1000 new corners, and the old residents would
have to pay taxes on enc million OF dollars less
than they now do; and this including county,
State, Federal. school and other taxes, count
ups to not little sum, as you well know.
10 the next place, the new conner would pay
the taaes on your 40 acres. and relieve you OF
burdens to that extent.
Again, these 1000 new coners would spend
10 your county in money-or in services the
equivalent of money-somethug like $500, 900
the first year, and smaller sums annually TOR
several years, until they could get their farms
fairly under way, and themselves sufficiently
provided to become producers anG of these
expenditures the land owner would get the
lioD's share.
Finally, the new corners, by their presence,
their labor and their improvements, would
greatly enhance the value of real estate"

EUROPEAN AFFAIRs.-On Saturday the or
my of the Duke of Mecklenburg had reached
Manners and Connere, from twenty-five to thlr-
~ miles distant from the left OF the French
forces under command Of Keratry, who occu-
pied Le Mans and an entrenehed camp at Cou
lie, fifteen miles northeast of lie Mans. These
positions arc in tho valley OF the Sarthe river,
one hundred miles southwest OF Paris, and
eighty miles west.northwcst Of Orleans. At
the same time the Germans made an attack On
the right of the French lines, between Arte-
nav and tho Cramien Forest, fifteen miles north
and east of Orleans. The attacking force was
composed of the urmy of Won der Tanu, re-
GENTLY defeated at Orleans, and the French
were under General D'Aurelles Paladines,
There appears to have been fighting all aloGg
the lines on Friday and Saturday, which tho
Moniteur says has so far been favorable to the
French A great battle is believed to DC I'M
pending. In the north and northeast OF
France the French repulsed the Germans in
minor engagement on Saturday near Amlens;
and tho besiegers vigorously bomoarded Mont
me1y. near the Luxembourg frontier. The
New York World processes to have special ad-
vices that the fighting since Friday was a gene
raj attack on the French lines and an endeavor
to flank them by the Germans, and that the
French won great and complete victory.
The British Cabinet on Saturday failed to ar
rive at any decision on the course to be pursued
towards Russia, and adjourned over unit! to.
day. Gortscbakoff's second note to Lord
Granville maintains the former position of
Russia, and refuses to withdraw the circular
announcing an abrogation Of the treaty of Pa
ris. A London dispatch states that Prussia
has offered to mediate between Russia and
ENGLAND.
