gIfshmen by Selling Land.
VANCOUVER. Sept 32.-Advices received
by steamer from the Orient say that news
has come from New-Chwang that the Rus
slams have been acquiring large tracts of
land in the vicinity to make capital of the
proposed British railway enterprise in that
region, as it seems that the land on the
proposed route of the Russian railway has
been purchased by the British, who demand
ed eXorbtant prices for the same. Rus
slams, by way of checkmating their rivals,
have commenced building in the north of
New-Chwang without the necessary formal
ity of purchasing or leasing the land from
its owners, practically grabbing lots they
required, arguing that, as they had only
built on the land, its owners could not help
themselves, and could be amenable to any
terms offered by the Russians. BY these
meeEs they would hold the whip hand over
the railway in eastern China, which is to
run from Petuna to Port Arthur via Kirn,
Loudkin and Matching, with a, branch from
Port Arthur to New-Chwang.

Recently there has been much discussion
in the newspapers in reference to the NOR
tality arising rom sickness alone in the
present war. The war of the rebellion is
now fading into the past, but the number
of soldiers who died from disease was far
greater in that war than in the late one.
Everybody in what was then the old Tenth
district who is old enough to remember the
war for the Union can call to mind how the
