Small Ctasage some weeks the citizens
have been much inconvenienced by the
scarcity of silver, most of the bullion having
been absorbed by parties for speculation in the
expected upheaving of society. To use an
old expression it has been as scarce as hen :
teeth. OF course pending events are not Ike
~ to ;nhance its circulation, for during trou-
bic of any kind peopie first think of hiding
their money and then themselves. With q
vie " TO obviate as far as possible the incon-
yenence to which the people have been sub
jected to, the Council at a meeting held a
week or two since very properly legislated on
the matter OF currency, by bringing into re-
cognized existence city notes of very small
demon ination, the extensive use of which
will in 4 great measure relieve the commuui-
| ty of the trouble and annoyance caused by
| the absence of silver. The Convention or

! notes of the denomination of one and twt
dollars. The proprtety and necessity Of th'
ordinance at this time cannot b" questioned

The Hermitage Camp Of Instruetton.-Fron
the very Large number OF young strong and
likely men which are daily to be seen upon tn,
streets, we are sure our citizens had al
ready concluded that Virginia was preplrin
to accept the "irrepres>ible coafiict'' with Al
''irrepressible" spirit. Bnt we judge ther.
are few who have not seen for themselveS
whose estimate OF the preparation which l.
making approxnates the reality. To such as
suppose that Virginia is not ma king prepara
tons commensurate with the immepslts
of her requirements, we would extern
an earnest Invitation TO visit the save-
raj encampments in the vicinity of THE
city, and for themselves. Besides th.
encampments of volunteers in this vicin-
ity there are a number of com panies quarter
ed in buildings in various sections OF tn.
city proper. and daily the number increases
We shall only speak articularly now of the
encampm at the Hermitage Fair Grounds
where about 600 troops are undergoing The
preDaration necessary for effective service
being drilled five hours uay by the Cadets OF
| the Virginia Military Institute, and such
| drill mas ters the Colonel CT the station
tGilhayu) may select. On Saturday last the
| First Regiment OF Virginia volunteers, o.
| rather large part of il, pitched their tents
! there, and are now enjoying all the delights
| OF camp life. There are also q number OF
| com panies from the in terror OF the State en-
| ped there, among them the Danviile
| Blues, Capt. Graves; the Danviile Grays,
| Capt. Claiborne; the Lynchburg Home
| Guard Capt Garland; the Lync hburg Rife
L
| (Pittsylvania) Blues, Capt Luck, and large
| number OF other companies, whose Captains
| we do not now remember.
| Every evening u large number of the ladies
| and gentlemen OF Richmond make a visit to
| the encampment, where they are permitted
| to examine the many iii nteresting features OF
| the military life. The large number of SOL
| dlers upon the ground, in uniform, makes the
| scene truly one of lite and activity. Their
hurrying to aud fro increases tn appearance
| OF activity, and all combined serve to give
the civilian unused to such scenes, some w hat
| OF an idea OF what real soldering Is Perhaps
| the most interesting feature OF the day is the
| dress parade, which comes off every evening
about sunset. The Cadets, comprising four
panies, are drawn out upon the field, and
| every company in camp is required TO be pre-
| sent in line, and the visitor is enabled IL
| see more soldiers Than at any other time
The drilling which the Cadets have received
gives indubitable evidence of its thorough
| ness by the admirable manner in which they
| manipulate their guns at dress parade, in The
| manual exercise. Col. GilhaIn, who has
| charge of the encampment is a thorough sol
dier, and the best thing that could be done fol
the proper preparation of the Virginia Volun
teers was to place them under his charge, Il:
has been done. 1t i. worthy of remark tina
on yesterday Sunday divine service was helt
