York real estate and immigration agents are inquiring the number oi acres ol land on the lower peninsula that could be bought for a colouy of 25 Englishmen, are preparing to emigrate to Virginia. I'bo writer stated that the agent of tie emigrants hid been travelling through the South seeking a location iui the colony, and had seen no section that -uiled the of the eolonUts so Well as the peninsula au.vwhere between the York and dames lie al-o stated that the colonists would sail soon as the purchase was made, and would be followed speedily by a number of the Knglish ycom.nry." VVc are that acreot laiid have been secured for the proposed rnal. Tue "Wheat harvest Is over and the reports as to the crop throughout the country are very contradictory. It seeuis to be thought generally that iv quantity the crop is only about one-hali lie usual aveiage, while the quality i- very superior. It is impossible yet to make an accurate estimate of the Bedford I.

'J'ii Potato learn that the I rice now paid fur potatoes from this markt at the North is causing everybody to lake and scrape their crops to be sent torward. Tiny arc bringing a barrel at the North, and figures are likely to sweep our market clear, so that in a lew weeks shall have no potatoes here but what we ean obtain from the North when their eorue into market. 31 any of onr truckers, anticipating a brisk demand in the tall, have cone into tor a late Hook.

A Manassas Junction the house of Ben.t'Uiin was struck by lightning during the storm of Saturday last, the hiumey was into fragments, and one side of the house torn completely out.

The Vikginia put on and cIiuom; to ignore the whieh lias done more for them in the last twenty than all other uewspaperscombined. irs. Mr.

Miftso lutcrviewed ou tko New JL'epuriure. "Do you think Yalluudighani'sdeath will have any serious efl'ect upon the new departure' movement, of which he was the author?" "No, sir, 1 do not. That is sure to goon until it covers the whole country. I don't rcim inber any political movement that has made so deep an impression upon parties and upon the country as the one which may be said to have been inaugurated by Mr. Vallandigham.

Had he lived it would naturally have him great not only with the Democracy, but with the holiest, tLinking men of all parties tor this movement, 1 think, commends itself to the best men in the Republican party as well as the 1 have heard some Republicans. Mr. hief Justice, say that had Vallandigham lived he would probably have come over to the Republican orgau'Zitiou. What do you think of it Ob, no that's a great mistake. Ail the Republicans lie wanted would have come over to him.

There would have Ikjcu no occasion for him to them. Mr. fortunately discovered what many Republicans had been looking platform upon which the honest, patriotic men of bolh parties could come together." After a brief silence the Chief Justice added, thoughtfully, 44 It is only question of time." i hen you think some of the Republic-ms will join the 4 new departure' movement Well, yes tliink they will. It looks to mo like the nucleus of a new party. Them are a groat many people who are dissatisfied with both parties.

Thoy are imxious for a different order of Tho war is over, and the people want peace. Tho Republican party, or at least some of its leaders, seem bent upon perpetuating the memories of the war, and thus keeping alive the feeling of hatred and sectionalism which engendered it. This is destructive of the best interests of both sections. Some of the Democrats, on the other hand, refuse to accept the of the war, but I don't believe their numbers arc formidable at all." It seems Davis, Aleck Stephens, Hob Toombs and a few men of that class tn the SouMi, are unwilling to accept the At first, the Chief Justice made no renly to htitciuent, but after a while said? 44 Davis hua been neMng very foolisklr late in making speeches. I rathor think Ins been misrepresented to some extent by the repnrtvjs, but he would have done betI ter to have pursued the course he did at tirsf, and have refused to make speeches, I Davis, anil Toombs represent but a small el.iss of the southern people.

I believe the masses of them accept the results of the war in good faith. You see some of the most influential of the southern newspapers repudiate tlie utterances of these men." What effect will the new departure' movement have upon the election of President in 1S72?" "1 should think it would have a very great influence upon hat election. A great deal, of course, depends upon the candidates and the platforms. If the Democrats nominate a good man, who will command the popular confidence, and place him upon the new 'departure he will, I think, stand a good chance of beingelected. There is a great deal of dissatisfaction with the Republican party.

Many people who are anxious tor peare believe that we cannot have peace between the North and the South while the Republican party remain in power. Before the harmony between the two sections is restored there must be general amnesty proclaimed. Now, while there are a number of prominent men in the Republican like Greeley and fivor general amnesty, the mass of the leaders of the party are against it. You remember last winter how Congress refused to pass un umuesty bill The Republicans seem to be concentrating upon Grant as their candidate. What will the Democrats do?" I don't kuow.

There are a number of good men whoso names have been mentioned, any one of whom would make an able President. I suppose the Republicans will renominate Grant. They don't seem to have auy great number of available candidates." "Thoy think Grant is their strongest man Well, so lie is, 1 suppose; and yet I understand there is considerable opposition among some of the Republicans to his renoinination." The Republicans lay a great deal of stress upon the fact that he has collected the revenue, paid oil' tho debt, and settled the Alabama question?" "The Secretary of the Treasurv, 1 think, deserves quite as much credit for collecting the revenue and paying off the debt as the President. Governor Bout well has been very fortunate in his management of the Treasury. Hut, after all, it is the people who pay oil' the debt.

They would do it tn readily with any other man in the White IJitiisc as General Grant. To be sure his triends give him the credit of it, but the people deserve the lieporter. Contarini's Career as it is Known in Montreal has the following concerning Louis Guiseppc Contarini. the adventurer who was recently arrested in Poughkeepsie on a charge of bigatny, preferred 31iss Mary Diston, and who is now under bonds to answer. Miss Virginia Saunders, referred to by the Xart, was another of his victims, in Canada: is well known in Montreal.

Mi-s launders was esteemed by all who were acquainted with her as an accomplished and excellent young lady. Hie was daughter of Mr. George N. Saunders, a somewhat famous Confederate fugitive to Canada in "Gl, and 'Go, as being one of the self-constituted trom the South. Contarini is a good-looking, well-educated, and intelligent Italian of aristocratic bearing.

lie speaks English, French, and German as Uuently as his native tongue. In the early part of i the American conflict he entered the Fedjeral service in New York as a sub-ollicer of cavalry, being a superior rider and i swordsman. "Sent to Virginia, he deserted to the Confederates, but, suspected as a spy, was arrested and imprisoned at but was released and joiued the Confederate army as a cavalry otlicer, and it is behaved gallantly, lie was, however, taken prisoner by the Federalists, and imprisoned as a deserter in Fort McHenry (Haitimore), but managed to get clear. While at Richmond he captivated Miss and when be was liberated from Fort MoHenry they joined Mr. Saunders here.

In this city, Contarini, alias Contri, put out a doctor's sign, and was yetting on quite swimmingly, especially among his countrymen here, until Mr. Saunders made some discoveries as to his antecedents, which caused him to pack Contarini off to Boston, it is believed be had then at least three living wives. Contarini contiUently told several persons he was the natural son ot tbe King Victor Emmanuel, by the Countess Contarini, and was banished from Italy on a small pension because of the enmity of his half-brothers, I'rince Humbert and Prince AmuoUcus (now King of Spain), who accused him of being a member of the Carbonari. and tJ-uu Maziini. Ail emissary of the latter, named Martini, whose swindling exploits will be recollected by several victims here, was a close associate of Contarini, and both would 011 occasions exhibit letters from Italy to sustain their representations.

After the Prince's Montreal he was next heard of in Boston, or Charlestowu, where he added another to his already numerous list of wives. Miss S. had, however, then sank into her tinal rest from a broken heart. The next heard of the ci-devant doctor and prince was as a colonel of Fenians in the last raid trom St. Albans, and his running away at Pigeon liill Irom the voluuteers 011 a horse be borrowed from a field witiithe out knowledge ol the owner.

flie Corean or the IHIliculty? IIlHtory of tbe Couutry. The following is a succinct statement of the origin of the Corean troubles, and some account of people against whom the uavy of the United States has lately directed so much of its attention: Five years ago the American ship Geueral Sherman went ashore on the Corean coast. The crew were captured and horribly treated and toitured, some being put incases and carried around and exhibited to the natives. One of the. men escaped, and rcacliini: an American man-of-war, detailed these atrocities.

Admiral Bell, then in command of the Asiatic squadron, sent the U. S. steamer Shenandoah to the Corean coast to inquire into the matter and demand redress. The Coreans fired on the Shenandoah from shore batteries, and as her commander had 110 orders to return tire he left, and reported the matter to Admiral Bell. Here the matter rested until Admiral ltowan, in the Delaware, took com maud.

He left the country with orders to settle up both the Formosa and Corean difficulties. AVhen he got on the station he found that the matter had been settled, and before proceeding against the Coreans the Department sent word for him to await further orders. No further orders were given, and when Admiral John Rodgers sailed in the Colorado it was understood he had full auth to demand redress from the Corean Government, and if it was refused, to so for them to the best of his ability. With this iu view he carried in the hold of the Colorado a battery of field pieces, a battery of Galling xuiis; and other means ol carrying the war into Africa," having full powers in tbe matter. As the initial step taken by Admiral Rodgers has excited considerable interest throughout the couutry, it may not be out of place to say a few words about the country which our navy has undei taken to teacb the ways of civilization.

Corea is a kingdom on the east coast of Asia, northeast of ubout 90,000 square miles population, from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000. It comprises a peninsula 400 miles long and 150 broad, the islands adjacent, and part of the neighborly nent. Tho total north to south is somewhat than THX) mlfen, between latitude 83 deg, 20 min. imd 48 deg. north.

The coast is rugged and barrenand the northern portion cold and mountainous but In the western part, the climate Is more genial and the boh more fertile. The government Is dosnotic, nnd though tributary to China and Japan, the freedom of its action is uncontrolled. The army of Oorea Is estimated at 640,000 men. and the navy has 800 vessels, (war junks,) carrying from ten to twenty guns each, old twenty and thirty-pounders. The political organization is similar to that of The King uni tes bis person temporal and spiritual authority.

The of Corea is a group of small Islands ia the Yellow Sea, on the west coast of the peninsula of The Inlands are of trranite, some of them rising to the height of 2,000 feet above the sea. 'The navigation in Corean waters Is both and dangerous, amd comparatively lit fie is known of the channels. Considerable anxiety is felt to hear frtttn Admiral Rodfc erg, as it was fullv expected toe would mal 'e another attack upon the Coreans next after the date of his last dispatch. It the opinion of competent naval officers her that the combined force of European Gov ernments now East is not sufficient to moot and punish the aggressive spirit exhibited by the Coreana. 'I It is stated that the action of AdmiraV Rodgers, in his attack upon the Coreans, i a the subject of diplomatic correspondence between the ministers of leadin European Governments and the United St ates.
