TUKSDAY EVEN'G, FEB. 18, 1873. • — -■ " —• Death of the I'lindliiK Bill. Nearly two years ago The State Journal commenced its onslaught upon the Funding bill of 1871, as a scheme that was iniquitous in its origin, injust in its inequality of burdens laid upon the people, oppressive to the last degree upon the tax paying population of the state, and un righteous in its discriminations in favor of the bondholder, sinca almost every provision of the bill sought to fasten a greater rather than a lighter bur den upon tho people. From the com mencement of this fight to the close of the last session of the General Assembly, we gave the subject special prominence in our columns, in opposition to the views of many of our Rcpulican friends in the State, and only ceased our active efforts to defeat the measure when we saw that it was prac tically a dead issue before the people; that it was impossible for the Conservative party, so-called, to galvanize it into even an appearance of life as a popular measure in the State. We showed that it was utterly impossi ble to meet the obligations it imposed, and while the popular cry of "repudiation" was raised against us, we demonstrated the impossibility of carrying out the pro visions of the bill without forcing, sooner or later, repudiation as a direct and inevitable issue upon the people. The real repudiationist, we in sisted a hundred times over, was the man who insisted upon a compliance with the terras of the bill. The Republican pailg rallied promptly to our position, and the masses of the people, icithoui distinction of partg, endorsed it. The experience of the State under the management of the men who originated it, has fully vin dicated the correctness of our views, and the true policy of putting them forth at the time we did. Governor Walker, who, if not the father, was at least the chief Nestor of the scheme, is reluctantly compelled to come to the position taken by us, and virtually admits that repudiation must tollow in the steps of the Funding bill, unless the Federal gov ernment comes to our aid in carrying tho indebtedness for us. Wo say this much to-day not in any spirit of unkindliness to wards his Excellency, the Governor, for the part he and his political friends saw fit to take in fastening what we felt to be an unjust measure upon the people ot the State. We should have been better satis fied had we proved a false prophet than we now are with the mantle of Cassandra thrown at our feet. We reserve for the present our criticisms upon the proposed plan of the Governor for the assumption by the Federal govern ment of the debts of the several states. In the mean time we would say to our Republican friends, who have heretofore severely censured the course of the Jour nal on this subject, that hereafter it might be as well for them to reserve their judg ments upon measures advocated or opposed by us until time and experience have vin dicated the correctness of our views. Virginia for Immigrants—An Bugil-sli ntan's View. We select the following extracts from the published correspondence of an Eng lish gentleman of great practical sagacity, who has been travelling extensively in our State. His estimates of the value of our soils and the proper mode of recuperating worn lands are very sound, and are borne out by the experience of many Englishmen and Northerners who have come here. Ad equate capital and the skill to use it will find profitable investment in our worn lands, especially on tide water and railroads, and near such cities as Richmond and Wash ington. The lands described in these ex tracts are near the capital of the nation, and are for sale at from $10 to $20 pet acre. They are, considering location, the cheapest lands in the world : I went over an estate of six hundred and thirty five acres, the property of an English gentleman, and situated wiihlna distance of thirty miles from Washington. The soil is red shale, sufficiently light without extreme porosity, very smooth and free from stones and easy to cultivat . About one-tbird of the estate is wood land, valuable from its proximity to a railroad. On the bank of a small river or run.wliich bounds a portion of the estate, there is a considerable quantity of the land in very tolerable condition; but with the uxception of this and the wood land, the soil lias been very much exhausted. I have, however strong faith in its recuperating powers. It takes to clover and English grass very naturally, aud it is all smooth, beautiful land. Thsre is a large orchard of very young trees just beginning 10 near. Were this estate mine 1 should cut down a portion of the timber, and use the strong vir gin soil for, say Indian corn and wheat. Willi ihe proceeds of tho wood I would buy cattle and sheep, and such fertilizers as are necessary I would use all possible haste to get almost every inch of the old soil in clover and grass • turning in one or two crops of the former as 1 had opportunity, for the purpose of supplying the almost utterly wanting vegetable matter. I think I should have a splendid grazing farm in a few years, and Washington being a capital mar ket for milk, I would lay myself out In that di rection, and sell very little elseoir the estate. Of coarse I would save every possible ounce of barn yard manure, using plenty of litter and compost ing with lime, which is needed in this soil and with muck to increase the amount of vegetable matter, aud also to retain more perfectly the ammonia. J I would top-dress my meadows with thorough ly pulverized material of this description I think with this as a general plan, and the details to correspond, I should get my meadows to yield two tons to the acre. Once get them to produce this averago with little help beyond the barn yard, and it would yield excellent intorest on a capital value cf *t!0 per acre. At Leesbnrg one enters the limestone region which forms the entire eastern slope of the Blue Ridge. This is naturally very fertile, and a fine grazing country. Plowed lands, if left idle three or four years, become natural mea dows of blue grass, which is excellentraw mate rial for butter, cheese, be.f, mutton and wool. This land is not so easily cultivated as that above described ; but li.de of it is in an exhaust ed condition and tun prices tate rather higher. A gentleman ftom the North has purchased half the Exeter estate at Leesburg, consisting of about 1,600 acres,at ill per acre, and he has offered as high as i n per acre for the balance, and failed to obtnin it. Such land will produce forty or fifty bushels of Indian corn, or twenty to twenty-five bushels of wheat to thi> acre, (he former worth 2s. (id. to 3s. per bushel, the latter about Bs. Take after these two of clover and four of English grass, make all usual deductions, and at the average prices now prevailing, the arable land on the es tate would return a rental of at least £3 per acre, which Is rather a good Interest on the money. The prices of labor in Virginia are very low compared with the Northern states. While this is an additional inducement to farmers, it should deter people from coming here to sell their labor, which the Virginians are 100 poor to buy at a good price. Farmers should Invariably take plenty of time to choose suitable locations; for though hotel and travelling expenses will be much Increased in that way, the differenco will probably be saved by a careful and discriminat ing choice, and In some cases great disappoint ment will thus be ay ided. Above all there should be no enthusiasm in the would-be settlers. They must not think that they have found the Garden of Eden, and that they musts'cure it to day lest another should be ahead of them to morrow. Almost the whole land wants buyers, and there is plenty to choose from. They should go most carelully over an estate that impresses them Very favorably and take notes of all essen tial particulars; take notes and actual count of the trees on a fair sample of the wood land, learn from reliable authority what they can get for lumber and wood, and what It will cost to get it out and deliver. Learn also the cost of trans portation to and from the more distant markets, make themselves as thoroughly as possible, mas ters of the capability of the farm in all respects, learn the actual value and all such particulars as neighbors are disposed to give, and then, and not till then, the intending purchaser may in his hotel, qnletlv by himself, make a calculation be fore he decides. E A. C. Scarcity of Appointment* at Wusli iug'ton. There was never a more dreary pros pect for applicants for clerical positions than the present. What Blair said of the judges of the Supreme court is remarkably applicable to the whole race of office-hold ers—"Few die and none resign." We went in to see the Secretary of War a few days since with a friend who wished to se cure an appointment as lieutenant in the regular army for his son, who had made a brilliant record in the late war, and devel oped remarkable military aptitude. AYe met three other gentlemen on a similar er rand. Tho f-\erctary stated that there were only tliirtv-six vacancies in the army, and over seven hundred and fifty applications from civilians, all of whom were well endorsed as sol diers. Tho West Point cadets would require all these, and he thought should have them. The good man was very sorry he had not fine places for all the gallant boys who had fought well, but could give no encouragement. He added, what we think very sensible, that army life was now a complete burial of a man with no pros pect of glory or promotion. We hinted the propriety of throwing open what places there were to competition, but Mr. Belknap clearly has the fear of West Point before his eyes, and did not ap prove the suggestion. While we think al most any civil pursuit holds out higher in ducements to capable young men than the army, we insist upon the justice of com petitive examinations there, as well as for civil appointments. Indeed, we consider the former essential to the efficiency of the army. It is monstrously unjust aud short sighted to overlook young men who have shown great genius to command amid the fiery hail of battle, and officer the army with men whose most bril liant achievements have been performed upon the parade grounds, or in the ball" rooms at West Point. The people will by-and-by see the absurdity of those base less pretensions for the exclusive right of West Point to qualify young men for soldiers. God makes great soldiers and he scatters great genius everywhere. It is quite unlikely that all military capacity extant, or the highest even, has been con centrated in that petted institution. The fact is that most people are dazzled by the splendor of tho balls and parades. The handsome young fellows in unspotted uni form are very captivating, and they have cost the country too much to be thrown aside. Give the veterans an equal chance, we say. Submarine Telegraph to China via Han Francisco. A company has been organized to lay a submarine cable from San Francisco to China and Japau via the Sandwich Islands. This company have applied for a charter to Congress, which will, of course, be granted, as there can be no legitimate objection to it. We have received an address upon this subject from Captain Moreno, the originator of the enterprise, which ably sets forth its advantages to this country as well to our neighbors of the Orient. Direct communication with those countries would no doubt go far towards securing our] ascendancy in that quarter ot the globe. The South is an able eight-page week ly paper published in New York, and largely devoted to the material interests of the Southern states and their development. It is ably edited, and proposes to devoteit self to the agricultural, manufacturing, and other industries of our people. It locates itself in New York for the reason that it is the centre of that intelligence which the South desires to reach in making known its material wealth and resources abroad. As an advertizing medium for those who want to reach the Northern public, it has no su perior. It publishes fine illustrated num bers of each Southern state, giving valua ble information. Price $3.

Literary .Notices. Chaptkrs fkom tub Bible of Tint Anns, tjom- Ei', 8 ? and edit * d by O- B. Stebbins, Detroit, Michigan. Published by the Edilor. This is a volume of some four hundred pages, finely printed and bound, and con taining the most earnest and orilliant passages of the ablest divines and spiritual teachers and thinkers in all ages. It is ap propriately dedicated to the "growing mul titude of men and women who believe that the word of God is not bound in any limi- 11 tations of book, or race, or time, or relig ious systems." To this class it will be a welcome purchase, for the gems of thought culled from the richest intellectual minos ' extending through the centuries, arc presented in something like method and logical order in the volume. The in troductory chapters of the book, which are from the pen of the author, exhibit a mind of much culture as well as original thought and sentiment. A survey is taken of the different " religions" of the world, or rather of the different systems of truth or falsehood which have been planted as religion in men's minds, and their progress and growth towards recognition among tho thinkers of ancient and modern times. The work has its place iri the literature of the day, for tho reason, if no other, that there is a demand for it among a large class of thinking minds. A Two-fold Life. By Wilhelmlne Yon Hil lern, author of " Only a Girl," "By His own Might, "etc. Translated from the German. Pnll delphia. J. B. Lippincott & Co. 1873. Those who have read "Hy His own Might," and the other works of this most agreeable (ierman author, will require only the briefest notice of the present work— probably tho finest, if not the most re markable from her gifted pen. We have had no time to read it, but a glance at the titles given to its several chapters would indicate that the work is one that a mind keenly sub tle in its analysis has had hold of, if not thoroughly mastered. It will be found for sale at West, Johnston & Co.'s, Main street.
