formerly from this city. In consequence OF
certain publications made by these gentlemen
against each other, Johnson challenged Will

lenge, Johnson informed his friends at Rondsy
that he would be there at the term of the
court, then not far distant, when he would
make an attack upon him. He repaired
thither on the 25th, and on the next morning
the following communication was read aloud
in the presence Of Wilcox, and large crowd:

BANKING CAPITAL.

We learn, by a letter from Richmond, that the
committse 10 which the subject of increasing the
Banking Capital Of The STAKE was referred, may
be expected 10 report in n few days. The conf
liittec has adopted resolutions, nearly unanimous
", in favor Of Indcpenirn, Banbs at Richmond.
Lynchburc, Petersburg and Norfolk and, " to
avoid he dificnltirS presented at tir lat Session,
by blending the several applications, II has also
beer resolved to report distinct Bills for each To-
cation Tho committee has also decided that 1t
i, cspedicnt to augment he capital Of the present
Banks, the increase to be- distributed principally "a
mony the existing branches, aud at such other
points of loca ION AS may be designated.
The decision, Of the committee, Il, our read
FRS are aware, are not always indicative oi the
views Of the Lcgislaturc-lad hence, W. are not
authorized, from the existing state OF this question,
To form any decisive opinion as 10 its ultimate fate.
There sern.s TO be a decided hostility in Virginia,
amounting almost 10 a rriadiee, against the mu'-
tiplieation of Bank NJ nititations-and. In Il GER
t,in extent, it is founded in justice and reason.
We should not only guard against stcess,ce issues
of paper money, bat likewise against the unnrces-
,ary augmentation of the number OF moneyed cor
pora,ions. But We should, al the same time, far
nisi the facilities which experience aud obSrrVa-
ton concur in showing TO be- necessary 10 the t"H
development OF our Stat resourcos-and, in do
ing Ills, we should he %ca.rfol, III avoiding the nm
necessary multiplication Of Banking institutions,
to b. equally careful that we do not concentrate
too much power in the SAM. bands By an injuIi-
cioas limitation OF their number. and that we so
distribute these facilities as that the commerce and
trade of ore suction ot the State shall not br
tilown entirely in the keeping and at the mercy
Of another section. so far as L,nfhbnrg is con-
cernel, Ne conceive ourselves Justified IN say ing.
that, although her citizens are DESTROYS OF an IN
crease OF Banking capital, they are still more dcsi-
rous that this augmented capital should he divor-
ced from foreign management, and placed under
their own control. And the rra,os Of this would
be obvious 10 any one at all eonNeisant with the
character OF our commercial operations, and our
peculiar connection witt, the richmond market,
even had not past experience Convinced Us tiiat it
is essential 10 ON prosperity as IA community. And
surely when these circumstances ara considered,
in connection with tho exten, and importance Of
our commercial operations, Nth the vast improve
mems which promise to enlarge them in a few
wears to an extent which we are row unable to
estimate, and with the profits upon the Banking
capital heretofore and now employed in this place,
