LEXINGTON, VA, June 2fth.
1t is pleasing to note how rapidly our town
Is now progressing. Here and there you can
see new residences spring up-old ones fitted
out-new stores thrown open, and improve
ments OF every kind going on. Whether it be
owing to the fact that she has sent lately an
other Governor to the Metropolis, or not, is a
matter of doubt, but sure it is, that Lexington
Is Mt present in a more prosperous condition,
than she has been for years.
We anticipate q grand time here next week.
The exercises of the College commencement
comes Off on Friday, the ist, upon which
casion the Literary Societies will be addressed
by the Hon Vim. Alexander, of New Jersey,
man well known in the political world. At
5 O'Clock in the evening of tho same day, Mr.
Bolivar Christian will address the Alumni
Association. Turner's "Cornet Band" Or
ohestra Troup" and "tilee Club" will be in

mencement on the 18th, its ball that night. 1t
Is reported that the Hon. VIM. &. Riyes, will
he present, upon THAT occasion. "Voante's
Band' is employed. Some roofns have already
been engaged by persons from a distance at
the Lexington House."
1t seems that we are destined to have no dry

We have had a very heavy fall of rain in
this county in the course of tho present
week; and Judging from the swollen state of
the James and Riyanna rivers, (Which it was
feared 1T one time would overspread their re-
spectiye low grounds,) the rain must have cx-
teded over large area of country.
Some of the tributaries Of the Riyanna were
higher titan they have been for years, and as n
consequence MANY bridges and mill dams have
been swept of, and in some places large guam
titles of wheat. This weather has of cours6
been very unfavorable for harvesting, and

IMPORTANT DKcIsIoS.-An important de-
cision was rendered by Judge Thompson, in
the Circuit Court of Augusta county, Va, in
the cases of Eudcra, Sutton K Co.. rs. the Gen.
trai Bank of Virginia, in which the Plaintiffs
claimed tho right 10 demand specie upon
checks calling on their face for current
funds" They wero decided in opposition 10
the plaintiffs, the Court holding that the
phrase 'current funds" does not mean money
in its constitutional sense, but the notes of
solvent Banks of Virginia, and a check calling
for ''currcnt funds' is not such a demand for
money az under the statute entities tho holder
to demand specie The Charlottesville Adyo-
cate, summing up the case says:
Some time last summer the brokers and the
Staunton banks had a controversy over the
legal obligations imposed on The banks TO re-
deem all drafts and checks in gold and silver.
The Richmond broker presented for payment
five drafts upon the Centra Bank at Staun-
ton. four of which We're drawn payable in
current funds, =" and the fifth without any Iimi
tation as 10 the manner of payment. The
Bank offered TO pay the drafts in current,
bankable funds but the broker, being unwiil
ing to receive anything but gold and silver,
had the drafts duly protested, and suits were
instituted thereon. The plaintiff was repre-
sented by MIR William Fl. Macfarland, of
Richmond and the Bank by Mr.. ii. W. Shelf
fey of the Staunton Bar, both OF whom de-
Hvered long and very able arguments before
Judge Thompson on "Wednesday last. The
court held that the Bank was at liberty TO
pay the four notes in current funds, but that
The fifth should have been paid in gold or sill
yer. The drawer and the Bank had right to
make IL contract to the funds i'll which his
drafts should he paid, and the drawer OF the
drafts took them subject 10 that contract, If
the fact appeared in the note. rs was the
case with the four notes whose payments were
expressly provided for in "currfnt funds
But as the fifth draft did not provide that it
should he paid in ''current funds" the Court
held that the banking laws OF the State re-
quircd that il should be paid i'll the legal ten
