3, 1858, and June %, 1860, in lieu of lands
embraced in private claims but not taken in
place, S7,573.44. Lands patented to States as
swamp Act, Sept. 2S, 1850, 75,3SS.OS. A de
crease of l27,527.73 acres. Lands satisfied
for railroad purposes, 27S,334.11 acres a de-
crease of 32S,OOG.54 acres.
While there is a falling off in lands taken
up in some respects, the increase in the area
taken up by actual settlers as homesteads and
for the purpose of timber culture has been
sufficient not only to counterbalance this, but
to make the aggregate disposed of for the
year greater by 647. 2O4.1 IL acres.
The policy of disposing of lands for home
stead and timber culture necessarily leads to
small receipts Of money, and accordingly it
appears that with the disposal of a larger
quantity of land the receipts only amounted
from all sources to 81, is, 1886; less by
Sl33,41S 60 than during the previous year..
The Commissioner of the General Land
Office calls attention TO the large number OF
patents uncalled for, and asks for some legis-
lation to enable the department to find the
owners OF their patents. While the number
is not stated by the Commissioners, it is we'll
understood there are over 100000; about
100000 in the General Land Office, and
something more than 2OO,O 600 in the different
local 9TH ,es. Heretofore there has been so
much delay in the issuing of patents for a
great variety Of reasons, the principal one
being. however, want of a sufficient clerical
force, that a large per centage of the appli-
cantS die before their patents are prepared,
and in thousands of cases their heirs know
nothing as to what they are entitled to i'll
herit.
The Commissioner also again calls atten-
ton to the lapsed railroad grants, and recon-
mends that either the law be enforced and the
lands declared forfeited, or else the time for

On BOARD TliE STEAMER LEE.--On
our return trip from New Orleans, on
Tuesday last, on this palatial steamer,
we had the pleasure of meeting Lieut..
Governor S. ID. McEncry, who, with his
accomplished lady and sprishtly boy,
we're on their way home after pleasant
soiourn in Middle tennessee, u region
about whose lovclinesss they speak in
the most glowing terms. The Governor
and his little family were in the L~st of
health and spirits. Our readers ,aust
pardon us if we take occasion to mention
that through the courtesy of Governor
McEncry we had tho honor, on this oc-
caslon, OF being introduced to the
beautiful and exceedingly amiable
daughter Of that lamcnted and heroic
soldier known by the surname of "thc
gallant Harry Hays" whose name il
associated with the inscriptions on the
battle flags of the Louisiana troops Of
the army OF Virginia. 1t may be that
it is our love for the hero of two wars
that prompted it, having marched over
the same fields with his unconqucrablc
battalions, but we did think that the
lllnstrions father in the person of his
lovely daughter, was represented ON
earth by a jewel, such as would have
induced to win it, many christian

wars the Cross Of Peter the Hermit.

For the Disptch.l
a ReyivaI---A suggestion.

Messrs. Editors.-A large proportion OF
the Christian people OF this city read your
paper. Through it allow me to make a
suggestion to them. For two weeks they
met together to pray for revival OF reii-
gion. They have now ceased to meet, al d
the revival has not yet come. Let me tell
them how il may come, and come very sOon
Since they have ceased to pray together in
public what il they should now pray
at home. each family apartY They
would then have the very thing
they prayed for in public. Will any
one say that family worship in every pro-
fessedly Christian home in this city would
not be a revival! We venture to say it
would be the most extensive revival OF re-
ligion the city OF Richmond has ever seen.
Or, should any number OF families that
have hitherto neglected the duty, now, I'M
der sense OF their obligation to perform
II, begin the practice OF that duty, 1t would
be revival to that extent DOeS'any head
Of family doubt whether it is his duty to
contribute toward such a revivaly Then
let him ponder the following
1. God requires it. He inspired the pro-
phet Jeremiah TO pray, "POUr out Thy fury
upon the heather that know Thee not, and
upon the families that call not on Thy
name"
=. Christian comfort requires it. The
consciousness Of daily neglecting duty tc
God on one hand, and to your household
on the other hand, must follow you wher
ever you go.
3. The good Of your children requires it
To raise up family OF children and send
| them out one by one to battle with the
world, and remember all the while that
:. l.
never had IN altar in their home to that Be-
ing upon whom all their success in life de.
pends, will not be pleasant thought when
they are at last removed from the reach OF
your example and influence.
4. The welfare OF society requires it. No
parent has right to raise children and send
them forth to be the pests OF the com
munity. They need all the religious educa'
ton and training he can give them to i
them for the right discharge OF their va
rious duties as citizens. A. 5.

which crown it in the present. Tue instru'
