In the full blaze of the sun's rays a careful oook could have prepared a ‘“beef- steak rare” with the greatest ease. In fact, people who were out and exposed to the fleroe reflection of Old Sol wero prone to say tipy were “rather warm.’ Those who had adipose tisfue to spare diepensed with it in quantities, The lean ones carried cloths dipped in wther in their hats, Those who could not afford this substituted broad fresh cabbage leaves, Many who could not afford either, used particularly large bricks, Ladies were out in the full bloom of lace and white goods; but they did not improve their complexions much by going out. Afew went on excursions to the fishing banks. ‘The net results should be set down in the ladies diary as follows:—“Caught: a cold, a minnow, a blistered neck and freckled face, Zost: temper, hook, line and bait, and the cost of the trip. Total gain: a ‘round 0.’"" The gentlemen wore their coolest clothing, sat in the shade, and cnjoyed every passing breeze with utmost gusto. They were sensible. Yesterday was a regular scorcher.

The capital of our people is too much in the expensive form of unproductive and worn-out acres. One-fourth of the area now cultivated indifferently, if well tilled and husbanded, would yield as much as the four-fourths do now, We need a great deal more of cash capital than we have; and this can only be procured just now by a liberal salo of unused lands. ‘The Virginia people could sell half to three-fourths of their present landed possessions with a double advantage. They would put themselves in possession of a cash capital which would enable them to improve tho land reserved to its highest capacity, and to derive as large a oduct, with the aid of skilled labor, us they obtained from their whole possessions before; and they would provide themselves with cash means, in addition, to aid in the establishment of manufactures and in opening new branches of business, which would impart a prosperity to the State which it never knew before. While we hold large landed possessions without sufficient labor to culti- vate them, and without the cash capital necessary-for their improvement, we continue poor and straitened; the population of the country remains parse and indolent; we leave no opening for enterprise; we prevent thé growth of manufacturing industry; we make a solitude where we might have every sign of life and activity. A goneral sale of half our lands would be the wisest economy wo could adopt for our individual interests. Nor could we more signally illustrate a wise and earnest patriotism than by throwing open to market and to emi. gration that moiety of our lands which are now untilled and unused, and aro destined to remain so while their present owners continue to hold the whole of their pos- sessions intact. In every point of view—politically, socially and com- mercially—it is for our interest we should attract @ large emigration into this Commomvealth. As a first step in this direction it is necessary that considerable quanti- ties of land should be put into market and duly adver- tised. This object would be accomplished at‘once and best if farmers would offer their surplus acres for sale by some sitnultaneous action; each causing plats of the tracts proposed to be ‘old to be filed with real estate agents, each tract being divided into small farins of one, two or three handred acres, Emigration will not come in small numbers, If it come at all, it must pour in in a great stream. To attract it very considerable quantities of land must be known to be available, so that whole communities of emigrants may supply themselves at once, and in contiguous farms. To this end, societies, or a society, should be formed, charged with the business of buying and selling lands, iving all proper information to emigrants at the ports fi wtich they land, and generally systematizing and orvanizing the whole movement. The business of the society could bo meade largely profitable to its members; and if conducted with integ- riiy of motive aud object, ‘the enterprise would bo highly beneficial to the State and to the emigrants who should be brought into its borders. If it were made known that considerable quantities of land could be purchased in Virgina, many other persons besides emigrants from abroad would be attracted in this direction. “Our climate is 80 superior to that of the Northern States that, many farmers of those latitudes would consent. to sell their improved lands there at the high. prices they will command and purchase farms in | retired.

Thus very unusual quantities of land must soon be bronght into market. If this proves to be the case, it ia plain hew important it is that, by some concert of action, it should be made known in the porte and throughout the interior of the North that very considerable quantities of land arc_held for sale in Virginia. general dissemination of this notice would bring Inrge numbers of emixraute, with im- mense quantities of capital for investment, into Virginia, under the influence of which our Commonwealth would dences of enterprise and everywhere observable at th Tex: an ba Market for all Northern ufactures, {From the New Orleans Picayune.) Mach has been said of late of the success of the block- ade runners with Galveston, and the quantity of goods they are said to have carried in. But we have rea- son to believe this has been much exaggerated. In any case the vast territory of Texas, with a pepulation, bot black and white, double that before the war, will afford ample market for all the manufactured ls, machinery, bsg can, by any possibility, be sent ag Ny et ing the next twelve months; the tide once set in, it will never cease to flow, with ever increasing vigor and vol- ume. Trade with Texas will hereafier Le no venture. will have variety and profit commensarat ith the territory of the Trans. Mississippi country, and rest om & foundation as rolid as the old Union restored. AS for the stocks of goods at Matamoros, we know they are said to be very large, but they will be but a drop in ‘the bucket when the great well is opened. The few counties bordering on the Rio Grande, and which have « natural opening there, will take them up as fast a8 they can bo sent forward after the door is opened, and they oH im no considerable degree lessen or interfere witn tride through the Gulf ports. In iact the trade between Mata- meros and the large interior towns of Texas ceased months ago, not only on account of the decline of gold and cotton, which no longer paid the costs of transpor' tion over a long and dreary road to the border, but in patural chanely which we are now anticipating. Let our merchants, therefore, be up and doing and stand pre- pared to send forward to Texas whatever a destaute population of two millions, for four years almost entirely excluded from the world, may stand in need of; and they will not only have the satisfaction of affording the mort apeedy relief to a noble and generous people, but reap im return a rich reward in the shape of substantial, ready profits and the estebtishment of business ceunec: tions and houses never again to be broken up.
