invitation both houses having adjourned at O'Clock TO-
pound howitzers and went through the regular artillery
drill displaying degree of efficiency which ELECTED the
admiration OF all who were present They subse-
quenty reviewed by Gov Wise attended by Col Smith,
President OF the Military Institute. Several rounds were
sed from the howzers for the purpose Of showing the
efficiency OF the cadets in this branch of drill heard
COL Smith remark that they could fire az many as SIT
shots minute from each gun. This is degree Of rapid
~ rarely attained by the most efficient artillery drill
u generally supposed that the Legislature of Virginia
will pass law at its present session making the a6duc
ton OF slaves capital offence; and in order to give
made admissible against that class of Offenders
At present the testimony OF negro against
white man Is not admissible, and hence the great
Difficulty heretofore encountered in securing cosvio
ton OF abductors of slaves
In both houses Of the General Assembly the committee
heretofore denominated ''the Committee on the Mitia
Laws, was changed by giving to it the name Of "the
Committee on Military Affairs" This done so as to
auapt It's name more closely to the functions which il will
have in future TO perform. Its duties will comprehend
far more then the framing of militia laws Judging from
the military spirit which has recently sprung in In The
mmon wealth. and tho necessity which seems to be felt
for thorough military organization, the duties Of this
committee will fall little short Of those performed by tho
Committee on Military Affairs Of either house of Congress-
is supposed that the aggregate OF appropria
tons which will be made by tho present Legislature for
internal inproyement purposes, will reach over five mil
lions Of dollars. Two millions year for or eight
years viii probably be appropriated for the completion Of
the Covington and Ohio Railroad, which is entirely a
State line When that is complete, we shall have q
direct railroad connection between the Ohio river and
tide water, through the centre Of the State

which to meet hore in February perfect oietue viii
be given to Bolts Presidential pretensons the shape of
resolution repudia'ing every man who holds now,
has held such sentiments upon the slavery question
as Bolts avowed in his Powhatan speech His expressed
willingness to affiliate with free negroes to defeat the do
cracy in his speech last winter the African church
in this city will be ventilated to the certain DEATH now
and hereafter, of his polihca-and many say mpert
Bolts day Of retrbuton is near Mt
hand His anti slaverv sentiments the past will now
react with fearful effect should not say this perhaps
for the truth Is, Bos is already politically defunct and
any retribuvc measure such as understand is 10
would be like attempting to kill dead man.
BY the way am informed that Bolts intends selling his
stallion Revenue, from apprehension he stands
in his way for the Presidency He may, however, recon-
slider this purpose in view Of tho contemplated determine
ton to kill him off at the opposition convention.
am informed that the Legislature intends ordering tho
publication Of the Of the several defauers returned
