FIFTH ACT IN A PKOTBACTED TRAGEDY— KILLING OF I. C. WILLIS. From a note lrom our friend Capt. J. R. Pace, of Rogersville, we learn that on Sunday evening last, Mr. L C. Willis, who it will be remembered killed the notorious Bill Size more, about a year ago iu Hawkins county, was himself murdered on Clinch, in said county, by. a man named Burton, between whom and Willis, there had been an old grudge. The full particulars of the murder are not given. "Willis was shot first in the side. The wound not producing instant death, he asked that he might he permitted to see his wife, hut Burton did not spare him. He then shot him iu the bead killing him in stantly. Willis did not fire a shot. The shooting was done while both were on horse back. This mnrder calls up & long train of homi cides. In 1864, an old and highly esteemed citizen of Russellville (Mr. Cain) was killed by a young Federal soldier, a citizen of the same county, named Bewley. A short time afterwards Bewley was killed by one of the sons of old man Cain. But a short time was left for young Cain to live. He fell a victim to the murderous hand of a friend of Bew- ley’s, Bill Sizemore, who, shortly after the killing of young CaiD, compl ted the list of his murders by brutally murdering Lient. Thurman, of Hawkin3 connty. Sizemore did not long live to gloat over his deeds of blood. The avenger was on his path, and in a very short time Sizemore was sent to eterni ty by a bullet from the pistol of L C. Willis. Willis now is murdered, and we may well, in horror, exclaim: Where will the terrible tragedy end ?—Knoxville Press. The Fortunes of Rome.—The Rome Courier says: Our city was never so thrifty as at present The rapid increase in wealth and population is fully equalled by the erection of substantial business houses and commodious dwellings, and all the indications are that, as a com mercial center, Rome will far excel any town between Selma and Knoxville. The natural advantages of locality, health fulnessof climate, facilities for transportation productiveness of surrounding country, large preponderance of white population, and abundance of water power in the vicinity, all point to this as a place of uaequaled ad vantages for trading and manufacturing pur poses. The spirit of enterprise is already awake here, and highly stimulated by the unprece dented amount of business done during the past twelve months. As indication of the amount of building in the past year, or now in process of construc tion, we will mention the fact that there are over forty dwelling houses in the city and its environs—nine good, substaintial, two story brick business houses—beside numer ous enlargements, improvements, etc., and a new flouring mill is now being erected, near the Foundry, by 3Iessrs. Wadsworth, Wil liams & Co., with capacity to grind 260 bushels of wheat per day. The syrup refinery of Sproulls & Stillwell, now nearly completed, will be of great ad vantage to planters in this section. It will make a cash market for crude sorghum, and stimulate the production of this profitable crop. They expect to be able to refine. 800 gallons per day. They will run two furnaces, 25 feet long each, and one 10 feet long, night and day. They have one tank with capacity of 800 gallons, and three of 800 gallons each. They expect to commence operations about tho 15th of October. An Address by the Central Executive Com mittee of the Democratic Party of Geor gia. Atlanta Drm. Ex. Com. Rooms, ( September 2G, 1868. "I" The position of the Democratic party of Georgia, in relation to the Reconstruction measures of Congress for the establishment of governments in the Southern States being misunderstood, it is believed that an authori tative declaration oi what the party bolds in /declaring laws constitutional, whose constiiuJon regard to those measures will not be deemed ”ality may be disputed, and.in return we clain, at right. This is our counsel and advice, and wu trust and believe that it will be heeded. ring made known our true position in regard to the Reconstruction measures of CongMss, and the protection which is "due to the freedmeu m the enjoyment of their rights and privileges, wi assure the people—all the people of every name aid per suasion, North, South, East, West—that tb»e are cJm.views—the views of the Democratic party of Georgia, and any representations to the tontrary , l re untrue, and do us great injustice. n We pledge ourselves to submit to all laws con- ’stitutionally enacted—to all decisions oi the courts Dry Goods Auction Sales in New York. The New York correspondent of the Phila delphia Ledger writes on Wednesday: A feature of the dry goods auctions to day was a large offering by a leading house of veils, bareges, bombazines, mousselines de laine, French merinoes and Empress cloths of late importation. The attendance of both city and country buyers was quite numerous. All of the catalogue was ran off at good prices, except the merinoes, many of which were passed, the bids being below the views of the sellers. Another house offered wool ens, tailoring goods, velvets, etc. The at tendance here was very large, the bidding spirited, and the prices (especially those of woolens) satisfactory. The catalogue was run off without duplicates. Another house sold ribbons and silk velvets, all of which were readily taken at prices which make the sale one of the most successful of the season. ***"** sagfew-'* j A ..‘‘-Cf. •* “Neat as Imported.”—There may be seen dally on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, a mau clad in faultless apparel, with a great diamond upon his breast, vainly endeavoring to outgljtter the magni ficent solitaire upon his finger. In a German uni versity be learned chemistry, and not even Leibiz knows it better. His occupation is the mixing and adulterations of Hqnors. Give him a dozen casks of deodorized alcohol, and tbenext day each of them will represent the name of a genuine wine ora popular spirit. He enters a wholesale drug store bearing a large basket upon his arm. Five joundsof Iceland moss are first weighed out for lim. To raw liquor this imparts a degree of smoothness, of oleaginousness, that gives to imi tation brandy the glibness of that which is best matured. An astringent called catchn, that would almost close the month of a glass inkstand, is next In order. A couple of ounces of strychnine, next called for, are quickly conveyed to the vest pocket, and a pound of sulphate of zinc (white vitriol) Is as silently placed in the bottom of the basket.— The oil of cognac, the sulphuric acid, and other articles that give fire and body to the liquidpoison, are always kept In store. The mixer buys these things in various quarters. They ore the staples of his art. Many years ago a small Connecticut parish un dertook to build a meeting-house. They wtnt so far as to get up the frame and cover it with boards. Then, for want of money and want of harmony, the enterprise stood still. The elements then assailed the unfinished structure, which in the course of a few years rotted down. By this time the people had come to their senses, and set out in earnest to have another house. Raisings were then great oc casions. AH the men assembled to put up the windows—all the women and children v.cre there to see them do It. At the conclusion of the work it was common to sing a psalm—the lines, for wants of books, being usually deaconed off. This office, at the time referred to, was assigned to President Edwards’ witty son, Pierrepoiit, who happened to be present. He began as follows : “Except tho Lord doth build the house, the work men toll in vain,” which WS3 snug with a will.— But the excited throng wasjtaken somewhat aback when their roguish precentor roared out as follows: “Except the Lord ’ ** * down again.’ I doth shingle It, ’twill tumble Gold—Native Gold!—"We were shown on yes terday by our friend, J.

Tois specimen was found by an old miner, who was working a deposit mine on this property, and who told us he had been offered $50 for the rock. Evidently, there is a rich vein on this property, which will prove a source of very great profit to the owners at some future day. Capt.

The Central Executive Committee, in the following declaration of principles, do not hesitate to say, that they speak truly, the setp timents and feelings of tiie party they jreprt*— sent; and they desire to speak for themselves and their party, that their true position may be known. The Democratic party, South, is charged with still being rebellious inspirit, and in the event of the election of the Democratic can didate to the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States, with an intention to arrest the farther enforcement of the Recon structions acts of Congress without awatin 0 the action of the-Judicial Department of the Government upon the question of their un constitutionality]! and thus' to inaugurate another civil war. This charge places us iu a position we do not occupy, and we meet it with a denial of its truth. "We claim the right to define our true position. We hold the Reconstruction acts of Con gress to be unconstitutional; that is to say— they are unauthorized by any grant of power in the Constitution. To believe an act of Congress unconstitutional does not imply an intention to resist its enforcement by vio lence, or to get rid of it by revolutionary measures. Different views of the constitu tionality of Congressional legislation will necessarily exist, but the sword is not the arbiter of such disputes—else the country would be in a state of continual war. There is a tribunal for the settlement of all such questions, and when its adjudica tions are pronounced, acquiesence becomes the duty of all the people. Individual opin ions must yield to official and authoritative decisions of the Judiciary. Notwithstanding we hold that the Recon struction acts of Congress were enacted “out side of the Constitution,” and without con “stitutional authority, we do not propose or intend to maintain our position by a resort to force. The constitutionality of these acts is a question to ba decided by the Federal Judiciary, upon a proper case made. If their decision should be adverse to the Con stitutionality of that legislation, we will claim all the consequences which will legit imately result from such a decision, and it will not be unreasonable in us to expect that those who hold opposite views will acquiesce in the decision, and accord to U3 all the rights to which it may legally entitle us. On the contrary, if the constitutionality of the reconstruction measures' should be sus tained by the Supreme Federal Judiciary, as peaceable, law-abiding citizens, we will yield submission to that decision, and cease all further opposition to those measures. And in another contingency, if the Su preme Court should refuse to entertain juris diction of cases presented under these acts, the only alternative left will be to yield them obedience, as laws obligatory and binding or to resist them by revolution, and the lat ter we unhesitatingly reject. We desire a peaceful solution of the complications arising under these acts, and a finality to the agita tion which they have produced. In our own State, we recognize the govern ment, which has been organized by authority of these acts, and will recognize it uow, and henceforth, if it should not be superseded by authority of law. If our State shall be re manded to the government existing prior to the enactment of the Reconstruction acts, it must be done by operation of law, and not by revolution. We hold, then, that the question of the con stitutionality of the acts referred to, is a question for*the Judiciary, and not for an ap peal to. arms, or any violent revolutionary measures to be initiated by the President of the United States to set up, or set aside those measures by his own mere will. Whichever of the present candidates for the Presidency of the United States may be elected to that office, neither should use his arbitrary, will either in enforcing these meas ures against a decision of the Supreme Court, declaring them unconstitutional, or in super seding them, and setting them aside before the action of the Judiciary can be had. If the Republican candidate should be elected, and the Reconstruction acts should be pronounced unconstitutional by a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, acquiescence in that decision will be bis duty, no less than of a private citizen. If tile Democratic candidate should be elected, his election will not per se authorize him to de clare those acts unconstitutional, null and void, and no longer of any binding force and efficacy; but it will be his duty to await the decision Of the question by the proper tribunal to which it belongs, and on which ever side it may be made, to regard the de cision as obligatory and binding, as an act of Congress which is clearly in conformity to the Constitution. We speak for the Democratic party of Georgia, and we may go further, and say, that though we are not authorized to speak for others outside of our State, yet we believe that the sentiments and feelings of the Dem ocratic party in the other Southern States are in unison with our own. These are the views we bold upon the qnes tion in which we, as a people, are so deeply and vitally interested. We intend no war— we meditate no revolution—we want no civil strife. We are for peace and intend to keep the peace, and will not break it if not forced to do it in self-defence and for self-preserva tion. We counsel and exhort our people to for bear all ac‘3 of violence upon the colored race-even to endure provocations, which thev would not tolerate under other circum stances. They are ignorant and led on by designing white men, to make threats and commit acts of indiscretion, for the purpose of producing collisions between them and the white people—and to resist them by violence will be to enable their white leaders to ac complish their object. . For this and other reasons, we counsel the utmost forbearance which can be exercised. We advise our people to accord to tlie freedmen all the rights aud privileges which the present laws secure to them. Withhold from them no right to whiph they are enti tled. Let them not be obstructed in the ex ercise of any privilege which the laws give them. Under our present laws, they are en titled to the right of suffrage. Let them en joy it freely, voluntarily and without molesta tion.- On the day of the approaching elec tion, to avoid conflicts, the polls should not be, and will not be occupied by one race to the exclusion of the other; but arrangements will be made whereby all who are legally en titled to vote shall exercise that privilege, and we believe that our people have the magnanimity to see to it that no freedman — *v IBBJ l/b UlOpUiCU.

E. G. Casanibs, Chm’nCen. Ex. Com. of Dem.Party of Ga. Trout Fishing Extraordinary. The following curious account of the capture of a big trout in English waters, is taken from the Cincinnati Times:—“On Tuesday afternoon, the 9th inst., I walked down to the river Bean, ‘tack led out’ for chub, and as I was strolling along I pointed ont to my daughter, who was with me, a whirling eddy, caused by a rapid from aflood-gate, saying, ‘that is just the spot where I should ex pect to find a trout, if there were any lett In this part of the water,’ at the same time taking a some what careless cast over the particular spot. The fly had no sooner dropped on the water than it was seized by a big fish, which was so unexpected, and took me so completely by surprise, that I was wholly unprepared lor the rush; the consequence was the line ‘came to grief,’ and off went Mr. Trout with about a yard of my gut collar, greatly to my chagrin and disgust. Well, on Wednesday 1 had to be in London all day, bnt on Thursday, the lltb, I resolved to revisit the scene of my Thesday’s disaster, and try to retrieve my loss, if happily I might have the good iortune to find my old friend ’at home,’ and with a rising appe tite. This time I took especial care to be duly prepared at all points. Cautiously approaching the spot, therefore, I first took a cast with a good- sized alder fly, bnt without success. I then spun over the eddy with a small ‘brass gill devil,’ still no response. ‘Well,’ said I to my daughter, who again accompanied me,‘I fear it is “ no go,” but I will have one more spin, os a “forlorn hope.” ’ ‘I have him!’ I exclaimed, and with a mighty rush, which made the winch shriek again, tbs fish was across the pool; I felt, however, thatlhadhim hard and fast; he fonght gallantly tor loll a quarter of an hoar, bnt at last he rolled, ind rolled, and rolled into the landing net, when he was gasped in triumph. On proceeding to remove, as I thought, the flights of hooks, what was my as tonishment at finding that the fish had not taken the spinning bait at all, bnt that in drawing it over the spot where he lay, the trilngles had caught hold of the gat collar, which lad broken on Tuesday, and by their rapid rotary ibotioa had twisted the gut so tightly round the spitmer, as to defy all efforts of the fish to ‘untwist the twist,’ and thus it was tbat I captured my old friend with the very fly he had robbed me oi two days before, and which, of course, I found firmly fixed iu Uis jaw.” A Singular Case. A CORPSE BITS UP IN BED AND MOVES ITS LIMBS From the Houston (Texas) Times, Sept. 12J 1 A good deal oi talk ha3 been excited by the fol lowing eingular circumstance on the ether side of the Bayou: On Thursday night at an early hour, a carpenter who had been in ill hen It a for some time past, to all appearances died. Th»re was not a sign of animation left; he was pronounced dead by ,his attending physician, was drested in his rravo clothes, and laid ont for burial. His friends n Galveston were telegraphed to come np and at tend his fnneral. It was about 8 r. h when he was pronounced dead, and preparations began lor his burial. About daybreak yesterday morn ing, he suddenly rose np in his bed, without hav ing given, up to that time, a single indication of life. He was unable to speak, pulseless, cold, and, with the exception that he was able to Bit upright aud move his arms and hands, still appeared a corpse. Not the faintest respiration could be dis covered, nor did the eyes, though open, 1 give any indication of anything but death. Hla physician was immediately seat for, who, on entering the room, was utterly befuddled at the singular case. Restoratives, stimulants, and every thing else likely to be of service, were applied, bnt the breath refused to return, the pulse to beat, and the body to grow warm. The muscnlar power to rise in the bed and move the limbs continued, and was exercised frequently during five hours, when that also apparently ceased forever, und the car-' penter was left as perfect a specimen of a corpse as conld possibly be. Has snch a case, as ithas been related to us, as we have told to our readers—ever been heard of before? About mid-day yesterday he was buried. Was he alive when he roee in his bed ? Probably not. We way be violating the sense of delicacy due to the friends and relatives of the subject of this no tice, but the case is so singular we think we are justified in saying that we heard that deceased—if he wa9 deceased—had lately been drinking very hard.

Hill,'of Georgia, who is now in New York, has addressed the follow ing letter to the Tribune of that city, and which ^'published in that journal of yester day. It deserves a careful perusal by every honest and reflecting reader : To the Editor of the Tribunes Sib—I hare read all you have said in the Tribune on the sobject ot the collision at Camilla, in the State of Georgia. I beg permission to make a statement which will present this whole affair in its true light to you and the Northern people. Early in tho canvass the whites of that State (nine- tenths of whom are Democrats) received positive in formation that the negroes were being enoouraged to arm themselves and hold nightly drills in military style. They were told that the ohject of the Demo cratic party was to re-easlave them, and that they mast resist its success by force, and especially all ne groes who should vote the Demoeratio ticket. Very loon this canard, which originated in the Leagues, was openly proclaimed. IVhite and colored speakers at public meetings advised the negroes to get ready to fight, and were reminded that they could use the torohes for dwellings as well as tho guns and axes against people. A painful rumor obtained currency that the acting Governor (Bullock) was in sympathy with, if not actually aiding this movement. I do not know that this was actually so. This state of things naturally created alarm. Sev eral outbreaks were attempted, and several con spiracies to kill white people were deteoted, and the negroes, when arrested in different portions of the State, said they had authority and orders to this effect. We also most satisfactorily obtained infor mation, that the object of the few whites who incited the negroes to their crimes was two-fold. First—To place the negroes, by discipline and excitement, be yond the influences which might induce them to vote with the Democrats, or not to vote at all. Second— To provoke collisions expressly to influence the Northern people with charges of rebel outrages.”— Now the interests and the policy of the whites was ust the reverse. In the first place, it was Democratic property, and Democratic families, which would be eadangered if riots occurred. In the next place, ifthe negroes became demoralized by these politico-military organizations and frequent assemblages, the crops would not be well gathered, and Dimocrats owned the crops, and their impoverished condition made them anxious to gather as much as possible for the anticipated high prices. Bnt lastly, we knew tbat the result of the Presidential election depended chiefly on the vote of the Northern States, and we were ex ceedingly anxious to avoid every possible occurrence which could excite the passions of the Northern peo ple. Uur property, our safety, our families, our ma turing crops, and our party policy all oombined to make us anxious—unusually anxious-to keep the peace, flow could we effectually keep the peace?— None but those who felt the responsibility will ever know tho difficulties with which our situation invest ed this question. But we resolved by common con cert and counscl- First: To bear every insult, and even outrage, pos sible, and never to resist by force in any form, except when actually necessary to protect property, person or family.

Franklin tells ns tbat for some years alter his mar- are you hurt?” “No.” "Girls, are you hurt ?” ties, all these nigbtly drillings, secret military organ izations and armed assemblages, of every character, aa calculated to break the peace. We bad no oonfidenee that the Governor would vol untarily aid us. Therefore, letters were addressed to the Legislature urging action. The Legislature did act, by passing resolutions requesting and uiging the Governor to issue his proclamation forbiddiug these armed demonstration. The Governor issued his proc lamation, bnt in a style and with false charges which really confirmed the worst fears of the whites as to lis sympathy with these movements. But we had the proclamation, and we hoped that all threatened dangers would disappear. Now, there was not the slightest desire, as you seem to think, of interfering with the constitutional right of black and white “to keep and bear arms,” or to have Republi can meetings—as many and as Jong aa they desire. We only desire to prevent military drills, ana organi zations not authorized bylaw, and armed assemblages calculated to break the peace; and these we desire to prevent by legal authority, executed by the civil offi cer. You now hare the exaet reason why the sheriff met the appoaching armed procession, and after ex hibiting the Governor’s proclamation, told the lead ers they could bold the meeting peaceably, but begged them not to attempt it in violation of that proclama tion. Camilla is a very small village of not exceeding, I would say, 300 inhabitants, black and white, men. women and children. «. A large assemblage of negroes gathered from sur rounding counties, led by these white men, and all armed, and to bb excited by inflammatory speeches, and many of them by other causes, placed the people, families and houses of that little village iu danger of pillage, rape and burning, with the alternative, if prevented, of fearful “rebel outrages,” to kilt negroes and prevent free speech, scattered all over the North just as the State election was approaching, which, it was believed, wonld determine the Presidential election l I know both Fierce and Murehy, the two white men who conducted this whole affair. They are of the most emphatic specimens of what are termed carpet baggers. Before the passage of the Reconstruction measures, there was no complaint heard against them. These measures disfranchised every intelligent white citizen who bad held office in that country. Pierce settled as a Bureau Agent in Lee county, and Mur phy in Dougherty county, adjoining the county in which Camilla is situated; and in the counties of Lee and Dougherty there are five negroes to one white.— I have no idea that one dozen white Republicans could be found in the three counties. Thus, you see at a glance the temptations offered to Fierce and Murphy to get offioet by the large negro votes. Accordingly since the passage of the Recon struction measures these men hare sorted with the negroes. Fierce was for a time a candidate for Con gress at the last election. He has now received the nomination for that position from a Convention of negroes. Murphy was elected Sheriff by the negroes at tho last election, but was unable to give bond. He is now, I believe, on the electoral ticket. We have natTowly escaped several bloody riots in that region before. Our people here believed these men, especial ly the latter, incited them. They were distinctly in view, with others, when we counted the difficulties in the way of preserving peace, and when we sought to secure the proclamation. But in spite of that proclamation, and all the re monstranoes of our people, and the fears of onr wo men and children, they persisted in holding armed as semblages of negroes, and the Camilla riot is the un fortunate result. The Camilla riot, properly understood, will exhibit to the Northern people more clearly than a thousand speeches could, the exact reason why the Southern whites arc. at present, unwilling to extend universal, indiscriminate suffrage to the negro. It is because they can be taken possession ot by a very few bad white men seeking office at their‘hands, and made terrors to society, and destroyers of safety for prop erty and security for families. Many of the more in telligent understand and repudiate these influences, bnt the greater number do not. Iu these very counties of Lee and Dougherty, in which Pierce and Murphy reside, I do personally know (for I plant in both tboss counties) that in 1866— after the surrender, mark you—lands were telling lrom $10 to $20 per acre. Immediately after the pas sage of these reconstruction mea«ures these very lands commenced declining, and I do know that some of them hare recently been sold (with cotton as high as it wa* in 1866) at one dollar per acre in gold. To hare onr families and our lives thns constantly menaced and our property depreciated is certainly a fearful and sad condition. Let every man in the North place himself, his family and his property in l his condition in his native country, and then, when he makes the most peaceable efforts possible, in a law ful way, to avert these dangers, lot him hear himself denounced as “a rebel,” “an enemy” and “a traitor," and guilty of “rebel outrages,” and be will have some idea of the exact condition, of the Southern whites, many or whom did allin their power,like the writer Our people bear these evils. Is there any other people on earth who'wonld bear them so pstiently 7— Why do they bear them ? Because they took hope fully to the Northern people to resene them. They love every man North who is willing to rescue them. They want, above aU things, peace. They will make any other sacrifice, accede to any other demand the North can make, to secure peace.

When he expressed his atonishment at the unwon ted spendor, Mrs. Frankln only observed that she thought her husband deserved a silver spoon and a china bowl a* much as any of his neighbors.— Franklin prospered in his business until he became the most famous editor and the most flourishing printer in America, which gave him the pleasure of relieving his wife from the cares of business, and enabled him to provide for her a spacious and well furnished abode. She adorned a high station as well as she bore a lowly one, and she presided at her husband’s liberal table aa gracefully as when he ate his breakfast of bread and milk from a two penny bowl. Promising to Marry the Girl. From, the New Albany Commercial.] We yesterday heard rather a good story on one of onr city ministers. During last winter a reviv al was In progress In one of onr country churches near the city. Among the regular attendants of the meeting was a beautiful and estimable, but rather unsophisticated yonpg lady, whoa- friends were very anxious to have her unite with the church. Bbe seemed, however, reluctant to do so, and the minister in question was requested “to talk to her.” This he did several times, on one occasion saying in a jocular manner, “Miss M——, If you’ll join the church I’ll marry yon,” meaning he wonld perform the ceremony. The girl seemed pleased with the proposition, and a few evenings after came np to the altar and united with the cbnrch. Several weeks after this the minister preached at the church, and after services met the yonng lady. “Brother —said she, “yon know you promised to marry me it I’d join the ehurch. Are you going to do so ? I'don’t want to wait any longer.” The minister saw his dilemma and at tempted to explain. “I meant I wonld perform the ceremony,” he said, “that’s all. I can’t mar ry you myself, for 1 am already married, and love my wife too much to Bwap her off tor another.” l'heyonng lady became indignant, declared she’d leave the church, and that t-he “never did have much faith in these town preachers.” Our min isterial friend declares he will never again use any other -than Scripnfural argument to Induce a yonng lady to join trie church. best men, and agree to a scheme which must place their wives and their children and their little remnant of property under the domination of Ignorant, semi barbarous negroes, excited and ledoa. by a few bad white men, who have no desire bnt to ret office at the hands of these negroes.

The In- West Point—Virginia Lands —One of the par ty o gentlemen who recently visited this 8tate for the pnrpose mainly of making a purchase of land at ft est Point, at the head of York river, writes to the Philadelphia Telegraph an account of the jour ney and the purchase made. He states that the “American Agricnltnral and Mineral Land Com pany” purchased 5000 acres of land, which em braces West Point and the adjacent territory on tbe Pamunkey rives. The tract extends from near the White Hons-e, on the Pamunkey, to seven miles below West Point on the York river. Five hundred acres at West Point are to be laid ont in town and garden lots. The remainder of the land is to be divided into farms to suit purchasers. It is anticipated that these (arms will be devoted to early vegetables for snpplyiog the Northern cities. The writer especially praises the lends of the York and Pamunkey. He says: “I can see no ne cessity for persons going West to the States of Missouri, Indiana, Illinois, or other more distant portions of the conntry. when, within a stone’s throw of onr large cities, there remains such wealthy s >il as that through which this company ot capital's 6 passed to-day. Great expectations are entertained of the fntnre of West Point, with its commanding harbor and deep river—which has never been frozen, giving a direct outlet to sea—and with its extensive rail way communication with the Ohio and the West ern States. The writer expatiates upon the supe riority of the place as a seaport over Norfolk and all other ports in Virginia, and represents the plans of the company with rvgard to it to be com prehensive and practical.
