A resolution is before the Virginia Sen
ate proposing to extend the legislative
session thirty day, beyond the cons'ltu'
tiona limit of ninety days, in consequence
of the large amount of business to be
transacted.
MIR. Hawks, one Of the Delegates from
This County, is opposed to an extension
of the session, believing tina, if more work
and fewer speeches made, the business OF
the session could be accomplished IN the
ninety days.
On the 3Oth ul,., the following bills
were reported from the standing commit
tees TO establish branch Of the Bank
Of the v alley in Virginia, in the city OF

and country, throughout an area of hum
dred. OF miles. For four or five week.
in succession we had snow, either on
Saturday or Sunday, and the cold has
been unparalleled in insensliy. Private
advices from Illinois, inform Us that In
some portions of that State. the ,hermom-
eer has fallen as low as thirty degrees
below zero. Cold enough, in al con-
science. In our State, and immediate
vicinity, the cold still continues as severe
as ever, the thermometer often falling to
s and o degrees below zero, with very
lille prospect Of better weather for some
time to come. In consequence OF the
slighl ,hswing about the middle Of the
day, and the very hard freezing at night
the roads have become perfect beds Of ice.
and those who can find time and money
are enjoying il wonderfully. We are
very much mistaken. however, if many

ss much as their drivers.
