Norfolk VS. the World.

Norfolk is a great place-groat for her
msn-grsater for her women-greatest Tor
her marshes. We desire her advancement,
we have shown it by our help in the grand
consolidation struggle, and we would strike
no lick to her damage. We only ask, please
help us in little Richmond to get crumo
which falls from the rich mans table. we
would not even ask this for our poor city,
if the crumb would harm our sister. But
we are stopped up-bunged up at both
ends. and we must have way out or we
perish. Will Norfolk say--"We will not
help you; we are bound to Mr.. Robinson?

His wife gave the alarm. When Mr.. Won
Grooming, who lives next door, reached him,
he was dead, with the pistol in his right hand.
He leaves wife and three children in very
destitute circumstances. Pecuniary trouble;

in so dreadful a manner. Coroner Trent was

Madrid, February 1.-The means used
by the Spanish government for tracing the
assassins of General Prim, have at last
been crowned with success. The govern
ment detectives employed to unravel the
mystery surrounding the assassination
have discovered the as5assins of the Gen
eral. Their names are kept secret by the
authorities MEANWHILE; but it has been
elected that one Gonzales, noted bravo
of Madrid, is closely concerned with the
affair. 1t is conjectured that he is in the
pay of some prominent persons holding
high official position under the present
government, and that he himself is either
the actual assassin of the General, or that
his hired associates are the criminals.
It is authortatively stated that the
dynasty, which was but recently deposed
from the throne of Spain, is also i'm
plicated in the tragedy, which has bereft
Spain of one of her greatest benefactors.
Should circumstances, which are now
in course of development, be corroborated,
there will doubtless be series of startling
disclosures involving the revelation OF a
history of imperial intrigue and crime
which can find its parallel only in the
middle ages.
The Excitement in Bordeaux - The
Paris Branch of the Government
Denounced.
London, February /. - Advices from
Bordeaux state that the excitement, oc-
casioned by the news Of the capitnlation
of Paris and the treaty which had been
consummated at Versailles, is still very
animated throughout the city.
The sentiments expressed in tho notih-
cation which has been received from the
Paris branch of the Government, purport-
ing to be official, and taking upon them
selves all responsibility of the negotiations
at Versailles, and openly declaring, and
proclaiming themselves the Supreme Gov
ernment Of the French Republic, and re-
pudiating and discouraging as illegal the
action, while they at the same time, coun-
sci the authority OF the Bordeaux branch, Is
| viewed with the utmost scorn and indigna-
ton in Bordeaux.
Numerous meetings have been convened,
at all of which resolutions were passed
strongly denunciatory of the course pur-
sued by the Paris government. Notwith-
standing the depression which was ma
turally consequent on hearing Of the ca
pitulation, patriotic sentiment still sur
wives in the city. All theatrical prcsenta-
tions have ceased, and the theatres and
other public places formerly devoted tc
amusements and recreation, are now
opened wide to the populace, daily and
nightly.
These places are crowded with earnest
and patriotic audiences. Stirring speeches
are delivered, urging still more deter
mined resistance to the opposing forces o.
Germany and closer unity for the honol
and safety of the French Republic.
This feeling is not only observable il
Bordeaux, but is shared by the towns IL
the adjacent districts, delegations frou
which have arrived at Bordeaux, wht
strongly favor further resistance ant
offer their support in tha cause.

The Petersburg Index advocates the for
nation of Joint Stock Land company as
means to induce immigration. 1t thinks that
people will be induced to migrate from other
countries chiefly because they may be able to
get large bodies of land at reasonable rates.
and it is of opinion that land owners can unite
and form such a company as is above indicated,
not only with the best results to themselves,
but the immigrants also. 1t thinks an indirect,
but great profit to the community will thence
ensue from the increase of population. OF the
State Beard of immigration it says: They were
appointed to perform difficult task, and were
furnished with no means OF executing it. No
fault is to be found with them, therefore, for
the lack of any result brought about by them.
