THE SMALL NOTE BILL!
TO TILE SENATE OF VIRGINIA.!

A bill has passed the House Of Delegates, and
now lies upon your table, granting authority 10
tho Ranks of this Commonwealth TO issue notes
rndrr FIVE dollars, and as small as one doiar.-
The hill TO the surprise il is believed, OF The
Whole Stale, was carried through the lower
House without one word of debate. It's passage,
under any circumstances, in a safe OF CONNER
c,al tranquility, would have produced asionish-
ment and alarm, but its passage, without single
argument being urged in It's favor without any
opposition, is'mys'eriou', and unlntellisiole-A
measure frausht with incalcnlabIc mischief, en-
daneerng the safety OF the currency o! The State,
banishine from circulation nine.tenths 9th spe-
Gle We, lett among us-a step-indecd momen-
lous stride made towards an exclusive paper SIS
lem-and vet all done in perfect quiet-no sensa-
tion-ro discussion as though The bill were OF no
importance!
The only arsumen, which have heard urged
in favor of this important change in our monetary
svs,em. and that which IS said 10 have influenced
The House OF Delegates, is The fact, that The small
notes of other States are 10 circulation among US,
in spite of our prohibi,ory laws. 1t was believed
nv adding TO the number, the evil would be d.
mipished. 1t is certainly probable that our Gill.
zeps would prefer the notes of their own Bank TO
those Of other States, and it is equally so that they
would prefer that whatever profits may possibly
result, il there should be any, should come into
the Golfers OF our own institutions. But there IS
another proposition, which is still more proba Die;
indeed, the probability reaches TO certainly, that
thew would prefer specific either.
What is The extent of this evil The small
notes of other States are nolin general circulation
through This Stale, SO far as my own observation
extends, nor have understood it from DINERS 10
the border counties, in Richmond, and along lhs
GREAT routes Of travel, there are many OF lhem, ana
there always will be, so long as our la% are no.

s seiS ought n 10 be remedied if possible, the
I gouse OF Delegates has determined 10 flood

men in the English and French Navics that hl!y
baIleships could not take it.
The President, and those he saw fit to advise
with, turned deaf ear 10 those wolul loreoodinSs
of Wing wisdom, and the brilliant result OIL Inc
campaign is sufficient TO cover the administrator
and General Scott, and every officer ana i'au
under him, with never-lading honor and glory
The same may be said of the glorious resul's
which attended our arms under General Iayior'
The opinion olha, great Genera has always had
its due weight with the administration, and ms
opinion was that there would be no fighting on
this side OF the Rio Grande, and hence The imlled
force he had in the glorious battles OF the Sih and
9Th OF May. After he crossed the Rio Grande,
and had advanced as far as Camarso, if our re-
collection is right he then thought that there
would be no more fighting, and consequently his
force was no, augmented, as rapidly as il would
have BEEN if be had expressed The opinion that
he would have hard fighting 10 do al Monterey
This was the opinion oi many Wings a! that
time, tho their shot haste" then to punish MeIi-
co. and force from her just indemnify for the
many Wrongs she had inflicted upon US, led them
to grumble with the administration; and afer the
battle Of Monterey, they snarled considerably
about the terms of capilua'ion OF that place
The changes witnessed by Rip Van Wrinkle,
after his long sleep, were not greater than the
changes of the Wing party since the winter OF
1856, and as far as the fall OF 1876.
Then they would have scorned sentiments
which have now become so dear 10 them that they
forget all their former cherished principles, in
their desperation TO place their own country in
the wrong and Mexico in the right.

A PARODY.


PARODY.
" Not drum was heard, nor u funeral note
AS his corpse to the rampant hurried
Not soldier discharged his farew ell shot
over the grave where our hero was buried" 7"
THE MOSQUITO HUNT.
Not sound was heard, but horrible hum.
AS around our chauiber we hurried
In search OF the insect whose Trumpet and drum
Our delectable slumbers had worried
we sought for it darkly, at the dead of night
Our coverid carefully turning,
BY the struggling moon beams missy iioht
And our candle dimly burning
NO useless ga rment confined our breast,
But in simple night dress and slippers
w -'eaftered about like spirits distressed
Short and few the words we let fall
Lest the noise should disturb the mosquito,
But we steadfastly gazed on the whitened wall,
And thought how we had been bit, O
We thought, as we rose from restless bed
And reinquished our pleas ant pillow,
That we would not retire again till he dead,
And we were secured from his BILL o!
But half an hour had seemed to elapse
Ere we met with the wretch that had bit us,
And raising our boot gave some terrible slaps,
That made the mosquitoes quietus.
Quickly and gladly we turned from the dead
And left him all smashed and CORY;
We blew out the candle and popped nto bed,
Determined to tell you our story.
