VRGINIA.-The Baltimore american of this
morning contains q very interesting article on
:" the public stocks, credit, and revenues Of
Virginia" embodying a correspondence between
James II. Carter, of Baltimore, and Governor
Floyd An able review Of the subject from the
National InteiiigeHcer, and articles from the
DAILY Nescs and New York Commercial Adper-
tis~, are also embraced in this paper, together
with the following, as an appropriate conclu-
sion--the opinion of one of the most profound
American fpanciers and statesmen, whose SUI
perior has never filled the position of Secretary
Of the Treasury.
"I have lately carefully examined the debt,
credit and resources Of the State Of Virginia,
and am aware of the amount of the coupon
bonds which that State proposes to issue My
conviction is that for permanent investments, as
well as for certain reimbursement of the princi-
pal, and punctual payment of the interest, these
bonds are fully equal in value TO any State stock
in the market Whether acting in an official
capacity, or for third persons, would deem the
purchase of these bonds, considering the time
they have 10 run, and the rate of interest pref
cradle to any other.

KossUTH.-It is stated In the recent news
from Europe that another company Of eighty
nine Hungarian officers and soldiers, including
Gen. Messaros, lately arrived at Southampton
Eng) from Constantinople. and that they con-
template proceeding to the United States. Kos
uuth was last seen by them at Kutayah, on the
9th ultimo. His wife and child were with him,
and about twenty-five Hungarians, who are still
prisoners. The Turks promise him his liberty
in September. We hope they may keep their
promise. Kossuth is, we believe, not more than
fifty years Of age--young enough to assimilats
with our people, to attain to'usefulness and dis
tinction among us, and TO enjoy in the bosom Of
his family many years of tranquility and happi-
ness. He merits of mankind something better
than prison, and the cause of human freedom
may yet be promoted through his aid.

THE MoRMoNs.--f the late reports we read
Of this people are true, war of scatterment,
if not determination, may yet be waged against
them by the United States. Their numbers are
greatly increasing, chiefly from Europe; and
under the name Of peculiar religion they ap-
pear to be practising the worst of vices among
themselves, as well as dishonesty and violence
toward others. Their government is not only
hierarchy, and as such an incongruity in our
political system, but it is an emporium in iuspe-
rio, in such sense rs will necessarily lead to
discord and strife. Either serious evils must
befal them, or their reformers must take timely
action in the work Of delivering them from the
sins that we are told beset them.

CAPTURE OF SEA-Cow.--Messrs. Clark and
Burnham lately succeeded in capturing a sea-
cow near Juniper Inlet, Florida. The animal
was caught in a net, was male, and nine feet
three inches in length They succeeded in
taking it alive, and shipped it to Charleston for
exhibition. 1t was very wild when first cap
tured, but soon became quite tame, and ate
freely of grass, &c. Its tail is in the shape of
fan, and is two feet five inches broad. 1t has
no hind feet; its fore feet are similar to those
of turtle, and it has nails like those of the
human hand, but no claws Its mouth and
nose resemble those of COW; it has teeth on
the lower jaw, but not one on the upper. A
female was also taken, but it was 80 large, and,
becoming entangled in the net, made such des-
perate exertions to escape, that the captors
were compelled to shoot it. They preserved
the skin, however, which was fifteen feet long.
