The Virginia and Maryland lands to be Appropriated by the Yankee invaders.

Greeley's suggestion to this effect is endorsed by the Washington City Republican, the organ of Lincoln's Administration. The people of Virginia and of the South will see that they have to defend themselves against an army of thieves and assassins. If they occupy our lands it will be my manuring them with their dead bodies, which, in the absence of guano caused by the blockade, will be a cheap substitute.
