Substance Of The REMARKS ot Mr.. cox Of Chesterfield,
on the amendment 81 .Ur BF0en 10 me OiuJor WeT re-
Hsf of the Banks.
Mr. Cox said he rose to offer word IN explanation
Of the vote lie about 10 give Though under other
circumstances he should be favor oftbe amendment,
al present he opposed both TO the amendment and
the bill lie had voted against the resolution which
orpnatcd the BILL lie considered all action IN regard
TO the Banks at this time premature, and like all pre-.
ciptae legislation calculated rather to do mischief than
good.
This House had appointed committee to examine
into and report the condition Of our Banks. And were
we to commence legislation in regard to these m
stiiutions before the committee had made an inyesi
raiion into their affairs; and before the House could
have the aid of The report Of that committee, i'll
bling it to view the whole subject in all Of its bearings
He should certainly look upon such course as unwise
and mprudent Such had been the course pursued for
the last two sessions, and the consequence was the
Banks, he believed, were in no better condition now
for resumption than they in ls37-and such will
always be the case with such legislation When the
Banks see by the course Of the Legislature that it
alarmed lest the least restraint, which in its wisdom
might see fit TO throw around them, would produce rum
and desoation in the land they have encourage
mcnt to diminish their profits by making preparation
for an early resumption of specie payments. For one,
he did not believe that the resumption OF specie pay
ments by the Banks to destroy the country. But
the question Of final resumption, and the question now
before the House two separate and distinct ques-
tons When the latter question up he should be
prepared to act upon it, and he hoped, with view,
both to the condition of the Banks and the wants OF
the country 1t was certainly very desirable that the
Banks should commence the redemption of their notes
in specie at the earliest possible day. was equally
desirable when they commenced that they should con.
tinue that operation In his course on the subject he
should rather be disposed to look to permanent, than
speedy resumption of specie payments by the Banks

THE MILITARY SCHOOL. OF VIRGINIA.

from u report made ny tue EuuCdlioH SoH'eHtioH
of Virginia, recently assembled at Richmond, we find
there Military Institute at Lexington in full ope-
ration and another proposed TO be established at Rich
mond, the Capital of the State. The at Lexington
was three years ago. by act of the Legislature, con-
vered from garrison Of hired soldiers TO It's present
purpose, and the annuity of six thousand dollars,
which was formerly required for its support an Ar
sena appropriated TO collegiate expenses, in the
support of its faculty, of three teachers and wenyonr
regular cadets. Those who pay their own expenses
termed irregular Cadets the number Of both classes
at present being about sixty. The cost to the State
of each regular cadet nj Lexington 10 about one hun
dred and thirty dollars These are educated gratui-
lously in both academic and military studies, and
are then sent to teach and discipline Others and
thus give back TO the State the well directed influence
olthal education which the State gave to them. This
is certainly very excellent plan of raising up Stne
officers, and llfIusing thorough knowledge of militia
ry tactics and too, which IL accomplished at less
expense than formally required TO keep the Arse
nal protected by hired soldiers
To the question whether the cadets at Lexington
would fight If necessary General Dorman replied,
eyes like wild cats. The arguments presented IN the
report in favor of turning the arsenal at Richmond INTO
another Institute are of the most cogent character and
may perhaps prevail. This is the only State which has
adopted tins plan Of placing its public munitions under
the care cf u Military Institute, and thus doing the
State treble service in securing its property, teaching
youth and training them in the tactics and duties OF
soldiers.
The Military Institute al Lexington, Va and Nor
witch University VT, under the Of Capt Partridge
are the only two seminares in our country, we be-
eve, aside from West Point, which blend the duties
Of the soldier with the studies Of the scholar.
