WHEELING Va. July 30.-The Lcsislat ure
adjourned on Friday, after tranSacting good
deal Of business looking to the complete work

ment.

chiefly in discussing bill, reported from
special committee, on the division of tho
State. The bill proposed to give the assent
OF the Legislature to the division. and rccom-
mended the Convention shortly to reasonable,
to take immediate action Of the subject.
long discussion followed, and developed
pretty strong element opposed to any dvls-
ion Of the State.
good many favored immediate action,
on the ground that when the State should be
fully represented, assent to the division could
not be obtained, and they wanted to made
use of the advantage that circumstances had
thrown in their way. They were Tor division
first, and last, and II the time.
Another the majority class, favored
division, but thought 1t lmpolitic, as it would
interfere with the plans Of the Government,
which would not, at this time, countenance
such move.
The result was that no action at all was
taken on the bill, and the Legislature left the
subject just where they found it.
