that there will be a very large crop of cotton

Intense Excitement in Richmond.

A Richmond CORES pondent OF the New
FORK Herald, writing on The 25th inst, SAYS:
A member from Virginia, now awaiting adj
mission into Congress, telegraphed here last
night that II was the purpose of the President
TO place Virginia under provisional Govern
ment. various surmises are affoat TO the
cause OF this change in the policy of Mr.. John
son. i have heard prominent Senator at
tribute il TO the defeat of Charles w Lewis
for the Secretaryship of the State, and OF
Francis j. Smith for the TreasursnIp. Some
fsw members of the Legislature disclaimed in
behalf of the Governor any predilection for
either of the above parties: vet il is well knOws
that so far as Colonel Lewis is concerned he
did not intimate wish that he would be re-
elected. The friends OF both parties make on
that this is proof of disloyalty, and that their
ostracism is the result of loyal sentiments
knowingly entertained by Messrs. Lewis and
Smith during the period of rebel ascendancy
Whatever the cause, the detriment is very
serious. The very intimation has set the
brokers 10 work, for scarcely had the despatch
been received than an advance in the rate OF
interest was made, and by consequence q de-
pIessIOn in all branches OF trade
The first impulse upon the receipt of this
news was popular request, thsough the me-
dunn Of nass meeting, 10 the Legislature TO
dlssolye and go home; but by way OF amends
Tor past blurders the Legislature ignored their
action in respect 10 the Presidency of the
Orange and Alexandra Railroad, by declaring
the Cffice vacant. The Senate declared, by re-
solution, that John :. Barbour was duly elect
ed President of this road, while the Governor
IN q special message, by an official presenta-.
ton e The vote, proves Jameson and q uiglsy

tone OF the Governors message, that Barbour
IN HE estimation, is deemed ineligible becaus.
OF his intimate connection with the late rebel
hon; but he does not base his directions 70 the
Senate's declaration of his election on that
score. bnt upon the broad and Just ground of
the insufiiccDcy of votes.
Whatever may be said regarding the pecu-
lar political predictions of the members OF
the present General Assembly Of Virginia,
more selfish and less patriotic body never dis
graced the State. With the exception OF Judge
Joynes, Of Petersburg, in the House, and John
III. Lee and Col. Gray, of Rockingham, in the
Senate. scarcely shred of compromising spirit
Is visible. They legislate with peculiar refer
ence TO their domestic interests, utterly regard
less OF what the State may suffer by their in
discretion. The admonitiOn of a lapse into
tate. of provisional dependency may awake
these worthiPs INTO the acquiescence of some
measures looking 10 the good OF the State.
