 A new feature disappearing for the first time in our code. Acts were passed for incorPO- rating manufacturing companies; for exam ple, a company at the Falls of the Rappahan mock, with capital of not less than $25,O0O and not more than $lOO,OO0; Richmond Manufacturing Company. with from SlO to SIS, 5,OOC; Wheeling Company, with capital of not more than S2OO,OOO; the Smithfeld and Chuckatuc manufacturing company from 20 to 10000 dollars. Most of these charters are limited to twenty years. It has been ab- surdIy supposed, from these enaCtments, that Virginia has abandoned her opposition to the tariff.
