The Arlington Estate.

Whom the Federal army entered Vir-
GINA, during the late internecine war,
ALMOST ono of the first acts Of the govern
menk was the confscation Of Arlington,
the magnificent estate Of Mrs. Gen. Robt.
L. Lee, on the Potomac, just above Wash
ington. Although the taxes on the pro
perty, levied by spurious state govern
ment, werc rendered the tax collectors,
they were refused, aud tho property was
sold, the U. S. Government becoming
purchaser, The government reserved a
large portion of the estate, that immedi-
ately surrounding the mansion, aud there
buried about $4,000 Of its soldiers, white
aud black. Upon the remainder of the
estate the government quartered Virginia
freedmen. After the war suit was brought
by Mrs. Lee, she being the owner Of the
property, to obtain possession Of her home,
The case was tried before the infamous
Judge Underwood, aud failed, and now
another suit Of ejectment has been be-
gun in the U. S. Court at Alexandria.
The Lee family would scarcely care to live
in graveyard, for such is the estate i'm
mediately around the dwelling, and il they
gain the suit the government will either
be compelled to buy the property or re-
move its dead. The latter will cost far
more than the former, and the govern

The militia force of the State of New
York is set down by the Adjutant General
at 20,20s. Maryland, though with a
much less population, ought to make a
better showing than that. If the militia
system is the proper one, it ought to be
made more effective, and every one ought
to be enrolled who, uuder the law, is liable
to militia duty. We notice that the new
Governor of Delaware, in his inaugural,
takes ground against the militia system,
which has never been fully carried out, in
any of the States, because it has always
been unpopular. The encouragement of
volunteer companies has worked better.
