Another Result Of the Policy.

A Northern paper publishes the follow
ing;
at is learned here tonight from good
authority that the English holders Of Vir-
ginia consOl bonds which have been par
tally repudiated by laws enacted by the
Legislature, have determined to boycott,
as far as possible, Virginia tobaccos in
the English markets. and that a plan to
carry out this purpose is now arranging.
A partial success of such aretaliatory move
will immensely injure one of Virginia's
industries, and this novel feature in the
way Of boycotting has its terrors for man
ufacturers, shippers, dealers, cigarette
makers, and packers. Up to this time
the move has been kept secret. The
amount Of tobacco shipped from the State
is very large"

Secretary Lamar's report takes com
prchensive view of the Indian question
and he explains the practical aspect Of
the plan to incorporate the Indian tribes
into our political and social system.
lie also shows that the present system,
though possessing the features Of educat-
ing and civilizing the Indians is still
incomplete and in need of great improve
ment. As to the unlawful enclosure Of
lands by great stock raisers, and the deals
and jobs with Indians agents, the report
is very denunciatory, and he says that,
Whatever appliances, however, the law
has placed in the hands of the Executive
will hereafter be invoked, if necessary, to
put final end to this enormous plumber
ing of the public domain"

The snow came down on New York on
Sunday morning. 1t is curious to some
people that there should have been snow
here first; but the way of it is that the
wind, coming up from the South laden

contact with cold wave just here from
the North, and hence the snow at Rich
mOnd when there is none at New York.

Here is another gem:
"Stanton came to caution me against
trusting Halleck, who was, he said, prob
ably the greatest scoundrel and most bare
faced william in America; he said that he
was totally destitute Of principle, and
that in the Almaden Quicksilver case he

Stanton had employed. "-NcClellan.
