AN IMPORTANT MEASURE
On Thursday last, bill was passed by the
House Of Delegates Of Virginia, apprOpiang the sum
81 4OOOOO Tor tie relief Of the families OF soldiers
within the lines OF the enemy. We have not Lad an 0p-
portunity u examining the BILL but undertand that IL
oontempates the distribution Of this fund 20 The conn.
tos Oyerrun BY the enemy through agents 10 10 6p-
pointed TO represent the cOtnty in the matter. A prop
oston made 20 prevent the exchange Of Coniede-
rate money appropriated under this bill FOR other
TfDcy al less Than specie value which was properly in
our Judgment opposed by Mr.. Monroe of Hampshire,
upon the ground that would render the appropriation
entirely useless In the very PORTIONS OF country where 1t
was designed to DO operative and effective.
The passage Of this bill viii doubtless exert a ssn
tary influence upon those gallant who have lett
tbeu homes and families within the enemy's lines.
