..- COMMUNICATED.
Believing that theFarming interest Is the basis
of all trade and prosperity, and that that which
Injuries the country Injuries the town, and that
the rate of interest, now allowed, is prejudicial
to the welfare of our State, as at present
circumstanced, send you another article on
''l2 per ct. y TRADE.
sIt is stated, says the Alexandra Gazette,
by some of the newspapers OF the Old Dominion
that many of the land owners in Virginia ex-
press willingness to sell their estates, the
burden of taxation and the inefhciency of the
labor system prevailing here being more than
they can bear Within few weeks the best
lands Of the State, have deprecated twenty
per Ct in saleable vail lue. t..
On this, the Tenth Legion says: Many
farmers in the Valley section of the State have
long since expressed, not willingness, but
desire to dispose of their best farming lands,
but they cannot do so without making great
sacrifice of that which has always been consid-
cred better than gold. But the cause
assigned by the Gazette-the inefhciency OF
the labor system-does not apply here
The depreciation is mainly attributable to that
abominable enactment which makes m oney yield
in interest almost three times as much as the
best producing lands of the State. hen the
war closed and the people began to realize their
condition, farms were thrown upon the market
and their owners realized their full value Land
Agencies were springing up in every county
town in the State, and catalogues descriptive
of hundreds Of farms were issued coach and
train loads Of buyers from Pennsylvania and
other Northern States, were examining and
purchasing farms, but we think we speak the
truth when we say that we have had but two
purchasers in this neighborhood since money
became worth twelve per cent, and one of these
was a reckless humbug who stole horse and
left for parts unknown. The other was a gen
tleman who came few days ago, and after
finding a property to suit him, asked the pro-
prietor what interest he wanted on the deferred
payments, He was told six per cent, and a
sale is altogether probable. But in majority
Of cases the farmers, upon whom the burden
of the war fell most heavily, are compelled to
ask twelve per cent, upon payments IN ordel q
to meet their own obligations given since the
passage of this ruinous act. "tG

Reflect that sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote connubial
happiness Indeed, without these, the journey
through life becomes a weary pilgrimage, the
prospect hourly darkens to the view, the mind
becomes shadowcd with despair, and filled with
the melancholy reflection that the happiness OF
another is blighted with our own.

husband and wife desiring to be di-
vorced can, by separating from each other
for two years, have the marriage tie dis
solved The code provides that the "ab-
Csence of eitherparty for two whole yearsr
shall be grounds for a divorce. All that is
necessary in such a case wouldsbe to con-
ceal from the court the collision and the
want of reasonable cause, which is easily
done under the provisions first referred to.
There is one feature of our law worthy of
commentators and that is, that two years
residence insthe State is necessary to en-
49, able parties to take advantage of these
loose statutes. -
ts 20 Above we have given some of the fea-
lures of our law, which are, certainly very
Vobjectienable and serve to make the most
sacred and binding of all obligations as
sumed in the flesh, a mockery, We have
Iseen the most outrageous cases of abuse of
these statutes and the EVIL results are plain
to beseen, in the general decentralization
prevailing in certain classes in respect to
1 this relation. If there could beany reasons
tojustify the opinion ofJudge Turney in
annulling these laws and recognizing the
Divine laws as supreme, it wo6ld be the
- fearful consequences flowing from the
loose and repugnant statutes cited Take
our laws on this subject as a whole and

tunity forEdoing great publicgoodI , -
