PROPOSED SCHEME FOR THE SALE AND
SETTLEMENT OF THE WASTE LANDS ON THE
LINE OF THE, O.: 4. & NJ. r. R.-The at
tention of landholders along the line of the
Orange, Alexandria and Manassas Railroad is
asked to the circular of John S. Barbour, esq,
in to-day's Gazette The Legislature, at its
late session, passed q bill giving authority to
the company, of which Mr. B. is President, to
purchase lands along its route for the purpose
Of facilitating immigration and in accordance
with the provisions of that act the company
have determined to issue coupon bonds for the
purchase of such quantities of land as it may
deem desirable, the bonds to run for fifteen
years and bear interest at the rate OF SIX per Ct
per annum; the lands purchased to be regarded
as collateral security for the payment Of these
bonds, which are to be taken at par for any
lands so purchased Upon these terms the
company have determined to enter the market
and it may be safely predicted that should it
be met in the proper spirit. in a short time the
great advantage to accrue will be felt, not only
along the line of the road, but throughout the
whole State. The company propose to di-
vide and subdivide such tracts as it may pur-
chase, and dispose of them in such way as to
attract immigration thereby turning the tide
now flowing Westward into Virginia, where,
when its great material advantages are brought
under the immediate observation Of oreigners
or persons from other States. it would be diff
6cult to prevent permanent Judgment and a
consequent rapid increase of population with q
proportionate advance in the value Of lands.
1t is due to Mr.. Barbour to state that the
scheme proposed originated with himself, and
at his instance the act referred to became 1 law
That it is feasible, and if carried ont, must
prove a material benefit to the road and coun-
try, can hardly be doubted and the earnest at
tention of all interested, especially those who
now own large and unproductive bodies of land
in the counties through which the railroad
passes, is directed to the plan a. fully set forth
in MIR. B. S circular Should the proposal be
met with favor and hberality, it is not doubted
that in few years all would feel the benefits
that would necessarily follow the influx al I'M
migrants

GEN ROBERT +. LEE-Bishop Johns in
his annual address, to the Episcopal Council,
now sitting in Petersburg, said -''Gcn. r. f.
Lee was restryman of Grace Church, Lexing-
ton. After the Mexican war, in which he
achieved So much glory, he joined Christ
church in Alexandria with his two daughters,
advancing up the aisle with one hanging on
each arm. The scene was memorable and
affecting, and the Bishop who then confirmed
them. remarked that if he served his God rs
bravely and faithfully Us he had served his
