GAZETTEER OF VIRGINIA.

Mr.. JosEPH MsRrtS, OF Baltimore, has issued
proposals. Cor publishing a geographical and s,atis-
sieai description of Virginia. under the above title,
Fac contents Of the work will be arranged under
two divisions. The first will contain a general de.
~scription Of the State, poItrnying her Geographical
position, extent of Territory, Natural Resources,
Climate, Mountains. Bays, I%larbors, Rivers,
Swamps, &C., &c. Also, her Geology, Agricultu-
raj Qualities, Mineralogy, Scenery, Natural ami
Artificial Curiosities hkeNise, a description of
thu various Mineral Springs and the Medical Quail,
tile, Of their Waters, for the benefit Of invalid lrav-
ellers. The second part will embrace facts rehal-
ing to the political or governmental. and social
condition Of the various sections Of the State-in-
Guiding Religious Sects, Laws. Commerce, Inter.
nal Trade, Population, and. for the sake Of simpli
6calion, Internal Improvements. Under thesr
heads much indispensable will be de.
tailed, relating to changes in Judicial and electoral
arrangements, which have taken place since the
appearance of The former issue.
After this general description, the State will be
divided into Eastern and Western Virginia, the
Blue Ridge being the dividing line. The counties
in each division will be taken in alphabetical order
and an accurate account oe it's origin, as well as q
minute description Of its topography, will be given
including the location Of its towns ard villages, and
whatever may be worthy Of note concerning them
This will be every way worthy Of the attention
Of the citizens Of Virginia, and we rope the pub

There are hundreds, nay thou.suds, in this State,
who have no more idea or the vast ,s.ou,c.. NO.
ductions, mincrpl wealth, territory, Sc. Of he
Old Dominion, than they have Of the productions
or territory Of England To all such, and to every
snhshiiant OF the Commonwealth, The Gazetteer
will prove an acceptable book, and we trust ,ha,
no family will be without n copy.
Or. J.. e. SsopeRAss, of Baltimore, will have
eharg. Of the editorship Of the work.

The Tres.uter's Report We frd in the Baltimore
papers OF Monday. From that document we lea n
that the finances Il our sister State are in no very

ed TO pay the interest on the Safe debt for the pa.;
year, is said to he 5000 900, while for the year
1912. more than double that sum will be needed.
The nominal debt of The State is fifteen millions
Of dollars, though the amount of deb, upon which
interest is paid, does not exceed ten millions.
The ssssssabie property Of the State is valued
al about two hundred millions of dollars.
On Friday last a motion was made In the House
ri Delegates, for leave to Using in a bill to repeal
,he tax law &c the last session, which was raised
10 provide the means to ray the interest on the
State debt. The motion was ,ej cted by a vote of

Tnr U. s. BANK /oAsEs QuAsHEp.-
The Presenimcnt made by the Grand Ju.
ry Of PhiladelphiH against the alleged
peculators of thG u. 5. Bank, was on
Monday quashYh by the Judges of tho
Court Of Crimi1h Sessions by an unani-
NOUS oplnlonT though Judge Doran did
not go the entire length of his iellows.-
He thought that the individuals who il is
alleged are presented on their own evil
dence were not to be excused on hat ac-
count-they are men OF intelligence and
are presumed to know how far the law
afforded them protection. If they went
beyond this it was voluntary, and the
oath of the Grand Jury required that they
should make true preseniment Of all that
came TO their knowledge. So are the &C.
cused screened from trial. The reasons
for quashing are for Illegally and irregu-
larily. The matter, it is thought, will be
Immediately brought before the pcxt
Grand Jury.-Boston Times.

CONGRESs-THE EXCuEQUER.

On The 29lh uliirno. a debate Of considerable in.
terest sprang up In lhe Senate, upon the fiscal
scheme Of the Secretary Of the Treasury. The
principal speakers we're Messrs. Preston, Buch-

Ill he plan shall be referred TO n Committee, and
shall be presented to the Senate with such changes
OF notifications as may be made in a report upon
ii. In it's present shape, the Excheqner meets
with much objection from both parties, first, be-
cause IL ia q great government Bank, and second,
because it c%onfeIs a vast deal Of power on the
President, in the number Of officers which it will
create.
On Thursday, Mr.. Ml1gum. ofN. c.. Continued
the debate in q speech upon the features of the
S.cretary's plan. in which he thoroughly condemn.
ed Tho whole scheme. He instituted a comparison
between it and the sub Treasury. and contendsd
that the latter vas fat preferable to the Exche.
qrer.
Mr.. Tsllmsdge moved that tho repor, Of he Sec
retsry of the Treasury aud the bill accompanying
ii. be referred 10 a select Committee OF nine mem
ber., TO bo appointed by the Chair. When this
Committee shall report upon the measure. and it
shall be fairly brought bsfore the Senate, the de.
alterations of that body will be Of a most interest.
ing character.
In the House of Representatives, the debate upon
. reference OF so much of the Presidents Message
as relates to the Tariff, has been closed, and the
suhjec, was finally referred. on Monday last, to the
COMMITTEES on Manufactures. The remaining por-

who came after them, had carefully re.

IN SENATE.
THURSDAY. December 3Oth.


The Senate met a. IL o'clock.
Messrs. Buchanan, Linn, Sturgeon,
Morehead, Walker, Young, Calhoun,
Woodbury. and Berrien, s.verally intro.
duced certain public and private bills,
which were appropriately referred.
A Message was received from the Pre-

K. Tyler, his private Secretary,) trans.
hitting n Report from the Secretary Of
the War Department, relative to the right
of mutual search, between Great Bttain
and the United States, which was laid on
the table and ordered to be printed.
The debate on the Government plan of

of N. c., having the floor.
After some preliminary remarks, Mr..
NJ. proceeded To review the proposed plan

whole of which he expressed his dissen,

never, since the origin Of the Republic,
had so bold a push been made for absolute

plan to increase the power and patronage
OF Government, and to give TO a bank
rupt Government the ability of making
fresh issues of money at a period when
distress prevailed in monied operations
throughout the land.
1t was indeed a notable schemc,-a(sren
Of the times.
He had opposed the sub-Treysury, and
as he considered that sy stem, he preferred
it infinitely to this.
This was, in fact, a renewal Of Gen.
Jackson's plan, which when fist suggest.

man in the country.
1t would be strange, indeed. if this plan
was to be- viewed in its mon9tary ospect,
solely, and without regard to the enor.

which j, was designed to donfer.
1t was a plan that had been reproba,ed

principles had a triumphant loothold in

comprehensive View Of the Reports OF It's
several Committees on Primary Schools
on Acedemies-on CoIleges-on the Uni
versity-and on Military Institutes. I'VE
have so recently re published these Re-
ports themselves, that it is unnecessary
for US to give a more detailed Synopsis OF
the Memorial. 1t weases together these
various subjects in n clear and BILE
manner-and presses them all upon the
Legislature, especially the Primary Dis
trict School system, and the substitution
of a Military Institute, in place Of the Pub
lie Guard Of this City. The Memorial
concludes as follows:
"Such are the subjects which claimed
and have secured the attention OF the Con-
vention, on whose behalf, and es their
humble organ, we address you. They
are of deep import to the weIl-belng and
prosperity of the Commonwealth, and will
no doubt secure from the General Assem-
bly, its most deliberate cohsld, ration. For
This we ask, under the strongest assurance
that the result will be to advance the en-
