RANK OF Virginia

The Stockholders convened on the lst inst. accord.
ing to a call from the President and Directors. The
PRESIDENT presented an address to the meeting, and sub
united a system of bylaws prepared By order OF a for.
iner meeting. Both the address and the bylaws wer,
referred to committees. The latter were adopted with
a few amendments. A report was made on the Presi.
cent ; address, containing the state of the affairs Of the
institution, and concluding with a resolution recon-
mendng that all the officers Of the mother Bank (cxcept
tme PRESIDENT and Drectors) should resign, which was
substituted BY a resolution that the President be re-
qIested TO resign. This was ne gatived-ayes4 1876, noes
=,i,o. The resolution recommending the resignation
OF the other officers was then adopted-ayes 2,325, noes
i19, and IS in the following words:
"Resoleed, That, under the present circumstances OF
the Bank, the several officers of the mother Bank be
requested 10 resign their Offices to the President and
Directors, who are authorised to accept the same at such
times as may be consistent with the interest. of the
Bank, and 10 proceed 10 r~e-appoint the same officers, or
other persons IN their places, as to them may seem ex.
pedlent under Inc system of bylaws this day adopted
by the Stockholders"
The Stockholders adjourned on Thursday night.

we heveF spent a more delightful 1th Of July, lhaa
On SaturdHyIast. The temperature Of the air was de-
ilshtful-and Tie mnnner OF the celebration was pre-
cisely 10 our taste. Several Orations were deliverrd-
but We can only speak Of the ceremonies which were
exhibited in the First Baptist Church; which was craced
BY a crowd Of Ladies, all the Volunteer Companies, and
a large assemblage of Citizens. The Declaration Of
independence was read in fine style BY Captain
John Munford, preceded By some appropriate and ad-
mirable remarks. The Grafton itself was delivered by
MIR. Chaplin, and we have never heard a more mas
teriy, eloquent, and patriotic production-conceived in
4 most original manner, well delivered, and fully sus-
tanned for about an hour and a half. 1t was interspersed
throughout with the rarest beauties-its descriptions
picturesque, its portraits cxquisi:ely drawn. sometimes
by one stroke of the pencil; its philosophical views were
profound; ITS views of the past, The present, and the
future destinies of our country, depicted IN very fine
taste, and with great force. There were many dining
partres-but as we have been unable to collect the par.
ticulars, toaSts, &c, we must reserve them for ano-
Their day.
