THE GAZETTE.
MONDAY EVENING, JULY II.

ENGLAND AND NIRG1NIA.-Now that a line
OF steamers is established between Norfolk and
Liverpool, the Virginia papers renew their
speculations in regard to attracting %laborers.
They propose the formation OF a reliable organ.
i~zation, whose statements would be credited
aud made good, to induce immigration. Eng;
lish labor can be procured under contract Tor
6ye-years at the rate Of $50 for the hrst year,
$50 for the second, and 500 for the remaining
wears of the contract, whenever assurances can
be afforded the emigraDt that there is no per
chance attending his change Of domlcll. The
movement is an important one, and WILL 90
more for the settlement Of the waste places OF
Virginia than any other plan which has been
devised. It is State and corporate immigration
bureaus that have been most successful IN IN
ducing foreigners to settle In the South. Lett
to themselves the immigrants follow the old
lines of travel, and hunt up their own people
in the North and West.-N Y. Comm.
USE OF EPITHETs.-A lawyer once wrote
rascal in the hat of brother lawyer, who, on
discovering it, entered a complaint in open
court against the trespasser, who, he said, had
not only taken his hat, but had written his own
name in it.
This reminds us of a story told of John Ran
. doiph, who, meeting with the Hon.--on
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue, was saluted with the re-
mark II never give the road to ad-n rascal. !"
Mr.. Randolph Immediately responded: II
always do" and suiting his action to his words,
stepped quickly aside. The moral We would
deduce from these incidents, is: Never give
your enemy a cudgcl with which to break your
own head. --'.
