Governor of Virginia to the First Auditor aud

cation had been forwarded to the suspended
Banks:
RICHMOND, Va, Sept 80 1857.
GENTLEMEN: Information. received in the last few
days, leaves no doubt that number OF the banks
OF the Commonwealth have. under the pressure OF
the general money crisis in the country, been com
PEELED 10 suspend specie payments. The notes e
some Of these suspended banks have been refused
To be received by the repositories Of the public
revenue. Among these are the Valley Bank and
Its branches. aud the Northwestern Bank, and 9th
ers. have great confidence in the officers of these
banks, aud rest in the conclusion firmly that this
suspension is but a means of protecting our own
securities, public and private. This conviction
makes me reluctant to exercise the executive dis
cretion Of prohibiting by proclamation the receipt
OF the notes of suspended banks in payment OF
public dues. TO make proclamation now of such
a prohibition would seem to threaten injury TO the
banks individuals, and the State, by adding TO the
prevailing panic and destroying confidence. 1t
should be the object of all to do nothing at such
moment to impair confidence in the alternate ana
early ability of our banks to redeem their credit
and Resume specie payments The banks, doubt
less anxious to aid the executive in protecting
the State credit aud collecting the public revenue.
To that end suggest that it would be well Tor you
to correspond with the leading suspended banks
Immediately and propose that if they will agree
to meet their notes received for public dues i'll nj
