TIE TORRENS SNSIEM AGAIN.

The bill To put the Torrens system in
operation in Virginia has NO compulsory
feature, and, therefore, is not open Ia
the objection which was raised i'm Hi
n0is If the system should become
operative ia this STATE, under the
present bill, it would simply give the
option To each and every land owner
to avail himself of its privileges or not.
1t Is quite certain, however, that many
people would take advantage Of the
plan 10 clear up their titles and make
them sure, and give them a convenient
evidence of ownership As the bill is
not compulsory, We cannot see upon
what reasonable ground It can be op-
posed, and we hope That il will be pass

GEN'L LEES FAREWELL.

Al this season when the old COnfeds

matter can we offer. ia the columns Of

Apo uattoN G.. H., April 10, 1855.
General order, MOB
After four years Of arduous service,
marked 10y unsurpassed courage and
fortItude, the Army Of Northern Viz
giuia has been compelled TO yield to
overwhelming numbers aud resources.
need not tell the survivors Of so
many hard-flught battles, who have
remained steadiast to the last, that |
have consented 10 this result from no
disust of them; but feeling that valor
and devotion could accomplish moth
ing That would compensate for the loss
that must have attended continuance
of the contest, determined to avoid
the useless sacrifice Of those whose past
services have endeared them to their
c0mlYmeu.
By the terms of the agreement,
officer, aud men eau return to their
homes and remain until exchanged.
You viii take with you the satisfac-
ton that proceeds from the conscious
ness of duty faithfully performed, and
! earnestly pray that a merciful God
will extend To you his blessing and
protection. With an increasing adj
miration Of your constancy and devo-
ton To- your country and grateful re-
membrance Of your kind and generous
consideration Of myself | bid you all

decades ago and such things would not
have been said, nor would certain de-

II Us all very well for US people Of Vir
ginia t) talk Of our chivalry and of oul
reverence for womanhood, but action,
Away, speak louder than words anC
money talks even more vociierously
than any acts.
Apparently the most neglected Of Oul
STATE institutions is the one especially
for the education Of our young women
most Of them young women Of the best
class, the most useful kind and the
brightest and most promising minds,
The figures show that the five State
institutions for men aud boys receive
Sl30, 900 a year while the State Female
Normal School at Farmville receives
1000. This appears 10 be a demon
-tratiou 10y cold figures and on the face
of the returns that We think about one
eighth rs much of our young women
~ we do our men. The board Of man
ayers has kept always within the mar
row limits Of It's annuity and income,
although the demand upon it has in
creased steadily and rapidly. The at
tendance has grown from 100 to 800
while the appropriation has not grown
at all 4 stan Of teachers not reinforc-
ed has had to struggle with a fast-in-
crea,ing army Of students and to accept
reductions Of salaries with increase of
work aud possibility to avoid debt
or exceeding the allowance.
The story Of the battle with adyer-
sity and Of the heroic attempts to meet
demands with diminishing
means is pathetic and should Of itself
appeal to the consideration Of the legis
lature.
As We understand The situation, the
school has lost the 81 800 it formerly
received from the Peabody fund aud
thi, year is confronted with consider
able increase in the applicants for adj
mission. And il is fact that unless
the legislature goes to the rescue with
an increase Of at least $4,000 year,
some hundred pupils will have to be
turned away
Virginia Is trying to operate State
'emale normal school with fourteen
eachers drawing salaries Of from 5000 /
% 5000 year, net, apiece, while North
'aroliua has for her school thirty,
south Carolina forty-four and
Mississippi thirty-eight. Aside from
he chivalry, the justice and the hero
SIN Of the cause, there is the solid and
practical consideration that
10 per cent Of the teachers i'm our pub
lc schools are women. IL we refuse TO
rain them in our STATE normal school,
where are We 10 get them, unless we
IMPORT them ? And is it wise or right
% import teachers for our schools from
lore progressive States while our own
ills are left in ignorance and denied
pporiuulties? All the graduates and
early all the pupils Of the Farmville
ormal school become teachers in the
ublic schools. ] hat we understand TO
e the fact as shown on the records, and
ierefore, there is no bluff about it.
