No DANGER OF REPUDlATIoN.-The Kich
moud Enquirer says:--"We have acquired
information which leaves no doubt, that not
withstandiug the injurious operation OF the
bank acts on the interests Of the people oil
Virginia, the State creditors have no cause
for alarm. A careful outstanding OF avail
able means during the past year, leaves near
| ly $500 900 of convertible funds at the com
mand of the treasury. Fortunately. the re-
denption act does not 60 into effect until the
spring of 1859. Hence it is possible that the
banks can, il necessary, supply also the other
$500, 900, required to maze up the sum need,
ed on the lst July. If not, sufficient
amount of license taxes can DO collected
to make up this residue. The peculiar legls-
lstion with regard to this species OF tax
makes it a partial exception from the taxes
generally, the collection of which will be de-
iayed by reason Of the late consideration
which the subject received at the hands OF
the Legislature.
Thus we have certain assurance, that the
interest on the public debt will be paid
| But it is close fit, and stretches all the COM
bined resources Of the treasury aud the banks.
The State is Just able to satisfy her creditors,
and that is all Indeed 1t is matter OF
surprise that accidental condolences have IN
terposed to obviate the difficulties created oy
Legislative omission and commission. The
whole thing furnishes another proof OF the
extraordinary vitality of cur State credit
Virginia credit has bent, indeed, under the
many heavy burdens purposely aud un-
necessarily imposed upon it; but 1t has borne
and continues to bear burdens sufficient en-
tirely to PROSTATE any but the most Wig
orous combination Of natural resources with
constitutional guarantees.
The GROWING CRoPs.--We hear on every
hand that the growing crop of wheat OF Al
bemarle and the adjoining counties, bids iair
to be one of the heaviest crops ever raised
in this section. The clever shows as well
| az it could possibly do. The same thing can
be said of the fruit, which Judging from the
heavy bloom and thrifty appearance will be
this year an exceedingly heavy yield. unless
an unex pected frost blast the bright proc
poets in the next ten days.--CharlotteSrae
Adrocdte.
All accounts concur in representing the
Wheat crop in the Union as remarkably fine,
and if no blight befall it the yield must be
immense aud bread cheap. In this county,
the crop looks well.--Staunton Ftndicator.
Rev. H. Jeter George, q promising young
