Collection of Debts in the Seush.

IA new Ok Ictlcf OF lnUFSu3J says.
The Chamber of Commerce saw fit at its
monthly meeting to-day to inaugurate a most
important movement, the influence of which
on the business and industrial interests of the
Soulful it is pressed to practical conclu-
slon-can scarcely be exaggerated, refer
to determination to memorabilia Congress
forthwith to pass law exempting suitors in
the Federal Courts, in the States recently in
rebellion, fiom the operation Of the State
statutes of limitation for period long enough
to give loyal creditors opportunity to enforce
their claims. Certain members Of the Cham
Der, who favor this proceeding, take the
ground that statutes of limitation to suits on
contracts are reeoncilable with justice only
on the superstition that the parties have had
opportunity tosenforce their claims through
the usual courts Of justice; and that as it
was impossible during the war for creditors
to collect their debts in the Southern States
by legal process, justice requires that all the
period of the rebellion should be excepted
from the time fixed for the limitation Of ac-
| tons in those States
Resolutions embodying these views were
unanimously adopted, and special commit
tee was straightway appointed to carry them
out. The result will be a powerful lobby in
Washington, before many days, acting as the
representative of the mercantile interests here,
to the amount Of many millions Of dollars

New YoRK, Dee. 16th.-The Heraldys
Fortress Monroe correspondent says: Jefser-
son Davis has recently been visited in his
easement prison, by his old spiritual adviser,
the Pastor of st. Paurs church in Richmond
who spent day with him. The Sacrament
was administered to him and everything done
that could be, by his old religious teacher and
adviser, through Scriptural reading and
prayer, to give him peace Of mind and that
cheerful content and resignation following the
right kind of teaching and faith. During
his Imprisonment Mr.. Davis only religious
attendant and adviser has been the Post
Chaplain, Rev. Mr.. Chivvis, most amiab}e
and excellent man, and worthy and devout
clergyman It was natural he should like tc
be attended by his old pastor, and no one
will be inclined, | am sure, to blame him fol
asking the privilege Of his attendance upon
hin, or find fault with the request being
complied with.

YNhere is q fair prospect for that important
i. connection of the Central Railroad. the

The a" kanawha Republican says, Govern

On the condition, that Virginia transfers to

We trust that this may be so. 1t is i'm

When 1t is completed, we viii lave opened
through the centre Of Virginia, line of
communication possessing advantages over
any Other line, by which the trade and travel

We hope the conditions may be accepted
and the road speedily completed and this

most desirable buildings for Hotel keeping, or bu-
siness of any kind, in the Valley of Virginia.
The building is capable of entertaining comforta-

This Hotel has always commanded good run

atively new. Along with the Hotel will be sold

New YoRK, November 25,-The Herald's
special says that gentlemen, some of them
ex-rebel soldiers, who have rsosntly come
up to Washington from the valley of Vir-
ginia, report the condition of things highly
satisfactory for the coming winter. All the
farmers have succeeded in harvesting crops
of grain sufficient for home consumption,
and many will have a surplus of corn and
bacon for export to less fortunate regions in
Central Georgia and Western Carolina
Mysteriously money is becoming very plen-
ty for the purpose of trade and payment of
taxes, and it is used a great deal more lib
orally than these people were accustomed to
use it before the war. IL is chiefly used in
plantation improvements, new buildings,
fences, &c. Central Virginia has been re-
infOrced by many live yankee farmers al
though this fact is not generally known, that
they have not only lived down old Domin-
ion prejudice against class, but have yam
kea spirit of frankness. More of them will
be welcome, and land will be sold to them
cheap. The freedmen among them do not
stand in need of commisseration.
