&@The Staunton Spectator, in renub.
fishing our reply to ITS remarks nuop tb,.
valley turnpike scheme, notices our
omission to answer its query in relation
to the establishment oil branch of The
Bank OF the Valley at that place. and
draws the Inference from our silenc.
that 1t was not IN contemplation here 10
aid III the establishment of such an
institution at Staunton. We did no,
design to convey any such idea, bu,
were without such Information upon thu
subject as would have enabled US to af-
lord satisfactory answer. and therefore
said nothing. The editor of the Spectator
is aware that the establishment of a
branch bank in Stanton was provided
Tor by the act oflast wiuter increasing
the banking capital Of ;he state, and sub
scribing to that object large por-
tion OF the surplus revenue. The
conditions Of this act have not vet
been agreed to by the mother bank. and
as things stand, the whole subject is TO
be taken up de moro, and il is somewhat
doubtful whether with recent deyelop.
ments before them the legislature will
see proper to invest the funds OF the state
an the manner provided for BY that bill.
Indeed we consider it probable that il
will be deemed more advisable. on mauy
accounts, to expend the disposable fund
an works OF internal improvement
such at least. would be our course upon
the subject If we were called upon to des
eide between the two modes of invest
ment. Yet we are friendly to the
establishment of a branch of the Valley
Dank at Staunion, ~ so we know is the
directory OF the mother institution, and we
doubt not, due exertions will be made TO
accomplish such an object, but it will
most probably have 10 be arrived at by
means differing somewh at from those pro
Vided for by the last legislature.
