but little over four thousand dollars per annum
Mr.. Letcher well asks, If territorial government
could be managed for fifteen years, in the earlier
and better days of the government, for an appro'
pra.on of 81 600 per annum, is it not-even taxing
into consideration the increased cost OF living ana
the extravaganza of the present day-out OF AL
sort of proportion, when it costs fifteen times that
amour; to support territory nowi
AS the public money seems to be going in such
a food, we only wish that Virginia weuld put out
Ler hands, and whilst others are plundering, re-
ceiye share of that which is her just due.

large business transacted in breadstus last week,

ARoYALlsr Observation-Disclosures in ia
vor Of Republics are frequent in Europe, but the
last news from across the Atlantic brings US an
account of an attempt to revolutionse almost the
only Republic in Europe-the Swiss Union-and
in favor Of royalty. The Canton of Neufchatel
on the morning of the 4th of September, rose in
opposition to the Federal Government, said to
have been instigated to the act by the King of
Prussia, who wished to incorporate the territory
with the Prussian monarchy.
THE COTTON CRoP.-The accounts from the |
South are still unfavorsbe to the prospects for

and a late FROST Many Southern writers express |
very confidently their convictions that 100000
will soon be settled upon as an extreme estimate |
