VIRGINIA. LEGISLATURES.

The letter of our Richmond correspondent has
failed to reach us this week. The Right OF
Way" Bill, however, has been the only topic oil
interest before the Legislature. On Friday and
Saturday, Mr.. Hunter, one of the Delegates from
this county, made an able and elaborate defence
of the measure. Mr. Edgington, from Wheeling,
replied on Monday and Tuesday, and gave notice
that he would move to lay the Bill on the table, at
the conclusion of his speech. This will be a test
vote. From what we have been able to learn, and
we believe the Bill will pass, by small majority.
Restrictions, however, of the most rigid charac-
ter, will have to be Incorporated in the Bill, to
insure its passage.

heated and tlagrant acts on the part OF Mexico
of insult ou,rages, and rnally of invasion al one
of the States OF this Un3n'-

The " Free Press" of tIe 4th inst in comment

the above amendment as: INFAMOUS ~ and POM

voting for this & iRtamoJs" amendment. 1t has
come to this then, that tise " Free Fress" has at
last come out openly, ard defined rs position
Tired of advocating the iieXican cause, by inuen-
do and denuncia,ion of tie administration, 1t has
this week capped the clitnax, and boldly denoanc'
ed as infamous" any attempt to vndicate the
honor of our Country
INFAMOUS, forsooth and what is il thatis thus
denounced as Infamous ?" Read She amend

1t is Infamous to declare THAI the var i:

TuE pEACE EUMOR.

The Washington Union OF Monday night says
of the report that Mexico had concluded to accept
our proposals for peace:
We are not advised of any such report having
been officially receiSedat Washington. II it had
come to Gen, WORT. from San Louis de Potosi, it
would most probably have reached Gen Taylor
at Victoria. But dispatches are received from
him as late as the It'll of January from Victoria.
He is not silent about any such report, but states
that the last accounts from Mexico were TO the
10th December at which time the Congress OF
Mexico had taken no action in regard to the war.
In fact, our previous advces from Mexico are later
than those Mhich hehad received.o

the Anti-renters who were convicted and impri-
soned for riots and murders in the State of New

upon the triumph of Nhiggery, by the aid OF the

a postmaster in the interior Of Pennsylvania,
recently had judgment given against him for the
price of subscription of several years to dis
tant newspaper, on the plea that he had not given
sufficient legal notice to the publisher to stop it,
and had continued to receive the numbers for
several years and sell them for the postage. The
magistrate decided that merely returning a copy
Of. John Smiths papers with stop Ais'' written
on it. without postmark, or other indication OF To-
cality, was not sufficient or legal notice, but a

must be sent to the publisher and :" lranked,' that

destruction of his own peace aud happiness. No
