Mr. RIvEs opposed the bill, on the ground
that it was in violation Of an act under which
the work should even now be sold out by the

the guaranteed bonds.
Mr. BARBOUR stated that the Attorney Gen.

was, whether, the State having guaran tied

OF the company, he was sorry to learn that that
corporation is insolvent, and ii only remains
for Virginia to redeem her pledge that these

The Auditor remarks:
'tWhen it is considered that these balances
will remain, after gil the debts and liabilities
OF tho State, except the permanent debt, have
been fully discharged, the financial condition
of our yenerated Commonwealth must pre-
sent sources of real Reorganization TO the coun-
try. And If there be any disposed to look ap-
ON her present condition or her future pros
rects under the jaundiced views Of prejudice,
or who may suppose her resources in the lease
degree inadequate to her obligations, he Is in
viled to examine the tables comprising this re-
port and he will there find the basis for the
conclusion, that in all that is substantially
progressive, practical and glorious, she stands
pre-eminent.''

internal improvement companies, merchants
