The Virginia papers state that
there cannot be more than half a crop
OF wheat, according to accounts from
various parts of the State. The crop
Of oats is also nearly entirely ruined
by rust. The present prospect for a
corn crop, however, is beyond the for
mer expectations Of the most san.
guine, and if not injured shortly, will
be more than ample to make amends
for the ruin Of the oat crop.

Bank. We expected, however, those
gentlemen would come out with some
definite proposition over their own
signatures in the Sunday papers, but
this they have failed to do, and We

matters, and a resort is had to the
Courts, the bill holders will lose large

of the assets of tho Bank. They
owe it to themselves and the public
