Judicial Sales Of Real Estate.

To the editor Of tie .4lerand,la Gazette:
have noticed with much interest move
ment in the Legislature Of Virginia to prevent
judicial sales of real estate below the assessed
value. Experience, which may be said to be
the parent Of wisdom in all the necessary bust
ness transactions of life, enables the writer to
state with confidence that without some snch
provision, or some act similar to the Georgia
plan of relief, the farming interest will be in
the condition of the overburdened camel whose
back was broke by adding to the load a single
straw IF any object to this most equitable ar
rangement, he or they know nothing of the
horrors of invasion, the laying waste Of fruitful
and smiling fields the tumultuary plundering
of habitations, the fencing of farms destroyed
by fire, and fields being fallow for want of labor
to cultivate them. When the war commenced
nearly all the stock necessary to the farmer, was
taken from him and paid for in funds with
which he endeavored to pay his debts, but be-
ing refused, it finally became total loss to him.
The farmer or owner of land during the war,
was the only class who in pecuniary question
had the confidence of the people hence, no
creditor would receive payment of the farmer,
who was most unwillingy, and unjustly made
the holder of money on which interest was all
the time accruing, while no income was arising

that legislation at this time in Virginia lisa
most difficult art, and it would be we'll to notice
the language Of one who spoke with more than
human wisdom, Forge lade men with burdens
grievous to be borne and We yourselves touch
not the burdens with one of your fingers. Re-
lief measures have always been practised in
Virginia even in colonial times when tobacco
was the only currency the creditor in unpropi-
tious years was made to receive forty pounds Of
tobacco when entitled to hundred. Our Gov
ernor, in a former message, intimated, if not
clearly expressed the idea, that all should be
held responsible for the war and share equally
its calamities, in which there is much truth
and justice, as it ful6tls the object for which
men enter into society and submit to govern
