The VIRGINIA LEGIsLArURE.-Thec orrespon-
dent of the Associated Press, writing from r ich.
mond on the 18th instant, says:
The first week Of the extra session of the Gen.
eral Assembly Of Virginia has closed, and but
little progress has been made towards disposing
Of the public business. The bill appropriatiny
$500, 600 to the Covington and Ohio railroad has
been ordered to its engrossment In the Senate
and will pass that branch.
In the House the bill to aid in the purchase OF
Mount Vernon was rejected by decided major
ity. A bill re-enacting the duelling law passed
the House to-day, but its fate in the Senate is
doubtful The law heretofore provided that no
person should be eligible to office In the State
who had been engaged in duel since May. 1852
As to-day re-enacted the date Is changed to March
LIST, 1858 joint resolution was offered in the
Senate this morning fixing the 22d inst as the
day of adjournment and laid over under the rule
Should the Legislature be prepared to adjourn
by that time the Intervening period must neces-
sarily be occupied more industriously than the
past communication was sent ia from the
Executive to-day recommending the appointment
Of law agent to investigate the affairs Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, with view Of pro-
tecting the interests of Virginia.

III In the Senate Of Virginia, on Thursday
last, the bill making an appropriation Of ten
millions Of dollars to the Covington and Ohio
railroad was ordered to its engrossment; and on
Friday the bill authorizing the issue of State
bonds in payment of claims on the internal i'm
prove ment fund was passed by vote OF 2s to 3.
The bill to convert the debt Of the James River
and Kanawha Canal Company into stock was
further considered and laid on the table. In the
House Of Delegates the bill to authorize the pur-
chase OF Mount Vernon was discussed and finally
laid on the table
