We sincerely regret that the fine company Of
volunteers raised in Norfolk by Captain .. E.
Edwards, and ready at moments call for
Mexico, could not be accepted by The Executive:
Virgina's complement. having been made up.
We learn tina, The members Of this company are
The very men to stand The climate OF Mexico, a
large number OF them being from The Bay Shore,
we'll acclimated BY the bilious and ague fever, and
accustomed TO stand up 10 their waists in the
water on the coldss. days, shooting ducks. &c.
To the Captains credit we would remark, thai
he had only been elected about ten days when he
rendered The services Of his company. Al that
lime the company numbered about thirty. He
now musters sevenly-two as fine looking men As
can be seen. The.company was raised, mustered
into barracks, and supported al his own expense.
These men are still in barracks, and ii they could
be accepted, we doubt not that they would do
every thing in support OF their coun'rys cause.
We again express our regret tha. circumslan-
ces prevented their being enrolled in the service Of
their native State On Wednesday evening last
The following officers were elected: 0. E. Ed
wards, Captain; j. F. Lewis, first Lieutenant; J..
II. Sale, frs, second Lieu,enani; and J. b. Min
ton. second second Lieutenant. After the cleo
lion. Colone, J. S. Mison addressed them in an
eloquen, manner, which called forth shouts q
applause The company, then, unanimously re-
solved, lha. the Captain be empowered TO offer
their services 10 the Executive Of North Carolina
should they be rejected by the Governor Of Vir-
ginia. Should our neighbors OF North Caro-
lima be disposed 10 accept the aid OF Virginia,
we are sure that they will find in Captain Ed
wards company as gallant and efiicen! corps as
The Union can boast.

an short ro,icc of it, "Its an ably written and
important Stale paper" says that journal, ''and
discusses many subjects OF deep interest TO our
people. Upon The interesting question oil The pub
lie debt, and The finances Il The Commonwealth,
he recommends 10 The legislature several important
enactnents. The total debt OF The State on the,
LIST December lasl was $40, 1851 The revenue
OF the commonwealth during the year, have been
insufficient to meet The demands on The Treasury,
and the balance has therefore been consider ably
ducei, leaving, on The Isl inst. towards The pay
ment oil thu interest accruing on the lst proximo,
but Sl3S 0S6 g. being some 100000 less than
the fund on hani towards The same object las
wear. II cannot be doubted, however, that promp
measures will b. adopted 10 supply any defcien-
cy that may exist, and that interest will continue
promptly 10 be paid The suggestions Of the
message relative 10 the reduction Of The public
debt. are worthy of all consideration, and no
where do we find recommendation which ought
not TO meet The hearty approval, and willing CO.
operalion Of every weil-wishcr of our Stale.

yive a brief abstract Of it in our columns This
evening:
"a typographical error occurred in The brief
notice OF the congressional proceedings under The
head, in last evenings Union, which afforded
Mr.. Barringer an opportunity Of declaring in the
House, today that he was not at all disposed 10
undertake defence Of The administration, which
in all probability, We opine, will not be very
much shocaed by The alarming announcement
The error consisted in printing Mr.. Bedinger's
name 'Barrnger, of which a correction was
made in the proof but overlooked by The compost.

THE CAPITULATION OF MONTE

commands a company Vi the Ohio volunteers
now in Mexico, and was present a! The siege and
capturc of Monterey, OF which he has written
narrative Tor his paper. We copy The following
interesting account OF The capnulalion:
1.-THE cannonading and bombardment continued
until Thursday morning, when flag of truce
was sent 10 Gen. Worth, and ano her, borne by
Col. Moreno, 10 Gen. Taylor, with proposals Tor
surrender. The negotiation was opened that
day: on the next III articles were duly signed;
and on Salurdaythey surrendered in fact and re-
tired from their powder ackrncd liens Of dsiruc-

through several Of the streets that aiteincon.-
The whole place was marked by Indications Of
universal mourning. The inhabi,an were bu-
siy engaged in moving into their homes. A
lie. gloom had settled upon their swarthy coun-
lenances. The officers many oil WHOM are Cas-
lilians Of high rank, education and fortunes were
dressed in mourning, and moved about with
di,pi,i;ed air, with their heads cove red with Grape,
apparently overwhelmed wi h affi ic,ion. The la
dies seemed all nuns, for black manlillas and
sorrowlul visaees were all The fashion On that
woul day. was no. surprised al his exhibition

security that had Ibeen inspired by the extensive
preparations for defence.

For The Eno,Iircl
SOUTHERN BRIGADE

We notice that efforts are being made by the
Legislature Of South Carolina, aided by the CO.
vernon, 10 obtain for a citizen of that State, The
command of the brigade 10 be formed by the Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina regi-
menls. Now we may ask if Virginia is mol enii-
lied 10 this honor? She has now eighteen CON-
panies ready for the field, and although the Gen.
eral Government has declined The prefer Of but
one regiment, yet, the fact that double that num-
Der have enrolled themselves. and are ready at a
moments notice, would seem 10 US 10 enlile the
Cd Dominion 10 a claim for that distinguished
honor.
It cannot be said she is deficient in materiel
for this command, for no Stale in The Union can
claim better or more; then will moi Virslnias
representatives in Congress press this matter or,
is a soldier OF the Palmetto STATE TO have the IN
disputed honor Of marshaling virgnians on the
