VIRGINIA CREDIT.
In spte of various malicious foebodngs and predchons
Tho STOCKS or The State are attracting considerable attention
md Gaining high credit abroad The coupon oonos just IS
d have at once commanded and now selling at 1hree
and four per cent premium in New ork, win p'osp.
,l higher prices The Board of Public WORKS mere,
Wow Of the rising cred, of the State security mas 3aiseu
me nrce of stocks the Auditors office TO three per cent
nremum and intends, understand, to graduate lu'ufe
ndces here by the premium. which shall be obtained upon
the coupon bonds sold abroad which we trust WIN '
and ten per cent before the close of the year.
The nresent Board OF Public Works may felcitae itself
having brought the bonds of the State TO higher pre-
,m than they have ever attained before. AT n"
former period we believe, have Virginia BONDS com
,nanded higher permanent premium in Ne" iofH
CITY than one per cent, or IN tnls CITY 'hah wv
mar cent The result of the large sales OF the coupon
sock. that are making out OF the State WIN DC 10
enable the Board of Public Works to pay the Common
wea,hs portion Of subscriptions to the ne" movements
h;b r IN ,rocess of construction with funds obtained
from abroad leaving home capital TO pay lnoVoua SUD-
scrpons and to be employed in the ordinary business OF
-, ,e of the State Thus the capital of the State will
moi be unduly absorbed in public works, and the sup
nlv of money will be increased rather than curtaed
bv our immense public Improvements III progress. IL
.yas in this view, doubtless, that the last annual
message of the Governor earnestly recommended Tue Is
suin of COUPON bonds rather than bonds OF the OLD or
and ha, the Board of Public Works has set foot the wise
measures which have resulted sales SO gratifying 10 our
State pride and interest.
The "pres,on County Herald" hc title of handsome
and spirjted Democratic Journal just commenced in Fellows
Vile Va by F. S. NJ Hill The Introductory address says
tn those familiar with this county, II is well known na
me establishment, Of Democratic paper has long been de-
.tsd BY g5sah esiHy ., gu. f"as
it unnecessary 10 assure those with whom we
are acquainted the Herald will support with ndevia
ting rmness the and usages OF the great Demo
cratic party as set forth by the National Conventions OF
1910 1874 and ls4S-prncpies with which the whole
try is familiar and believe upon the success Of which,
depend the happiness and prosperity of the nation
While General Cass Its first choice for President II de-
ares that there are other distinguished National Democrats
10 whom will extend the support should they receive
The nomination of the Democratic National Convention.
Col George w. Thompson whose nomination, it says us
haed throughout District with satisfaction which en-
spes the triumphant of the cherished principles OF
the Democratic party in October OF Mr. THoapsoss long
devotion to Democratic principes-of the purity of his prl.
yste chaacer-of his integrity ell the affairs of life-it al
fords us plsa speak with confidence The
only reui objection political opponents can make TO Mr.
THOMPSON is his unfnching fidelity to Democratic prlnci-
nles and the Constitution Neither he his ends desire
to make the confess, personal but the contrary they
seek the true ISSUE willing base their success upon
It. Our may rejoice their past success IN the
Di.trchey may organize their scattered forces und De pre-
pared for the they mays the Democracy have MOTH
ing TO fear We always like encounter disciplined and
open enemy but hold adherence the guerilla mode OF
warfare"
We wish every success 10 the Herald which is destined
10 apply most efectua antidu,e the poison emitted by

GEN SCOTT AT THE SOUTH.
With the exception Of very few smaller twinklng stars
of the Wing press at the South there is remarkable
nIm!ty among the Southern Wing Journals, in turning
cold shoulder upon tho Presidential aspirations OF Gen.
Scott very significant evidence OF this feeling may De
found in the article below from the Buc,c, the leading
Wing journal of New Orleans We begin TO have hopes that
large portion Of Southern Wing party aroused TO the
evil of their game of "uvalabilty and daily
inc with the free soil party in the last Presidential canvass
for the sake Of and temporary power-which mas
so near bringing the cUniederacy the recpice OF dis
uoon-wi hereafter adopt wise and straightforward
