HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

Several petitions and resolutions were pre-
sented In the House. and referred to the ap-
propriate committees. Senate bill to extend
the corporate limits of Richmond was taken up
when Mr.. White, Of Henrico, proposed an in
dependent section as an amendment, providing
for taking the sense of the people Of the city
and county on the same, which he advocated at
some length and was replied to by Mr.. Evans,
of Richmond. The subject was then passed by
to consider the order of the day--a bill to pro-
vide Tor the completion Of line, or lines, of
railway from the waters of the Chesapeake to
the Ohio river
1t being read, Mr. Baldwin, (Mr. Jones in
the chair, offered substitute for the original
bill, 1.-THE substitute offered by Mr. Ould in the
Senate which he said had been approved by
the friends of the bill This bill differed but
slightly from the original. Mr.. Baldwin ex-
planned the differences
Messrs Baldwin, q. Turner, Herndon, Evans,
Crump and Kelley discussed the subject till
adjournment, without definite action on the BILL
SENATE, Tuesday, Feb 12th.-The session
of the Senate to-day was chiefly taken up with
the discussion of the important railroad projets :
one being the bill authorizing the transfer of
the property, franchises, &C., of the Manassas
Gap Railroad Company to the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad Company, for the purpose
the former, and also to construct or aid in con-
structing the Valley Railroad; and the other
was the bill known as the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad bill. The former bill was passed by
the Senate and sent down to the House of De-
legates for their action. The latter was the
pending business at the hour of adjournment.
The State debt bill was made the order of the
day for tomorrow.
An important message was sent in by the
Governor in regard to the debt due the State
by the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad Com
pany, and by them paid in Confederate money
The Governor holds that the payment was not
authorized and that the receipt is not valid
HOUSE OF DELEGATES
The House was engaged nearly all of the ses-
sion in discussing the bill to extend the corpo-
rate limits Of the city of Richmond, which was
finally passed by very large majority, and is
now law. Mr.. White, one Of the delegates
from Henrico, opposed its passage with great
energy, and was replied to with equal force by
the delegates from this city, Messrs. Crump,
Evans and Lee. The Conference Committee
on the pay of the commissioners to settle af-
fairs with West Virginia reported that they had
agreed on the sum of So per day and mileage
for the services rendered, and the report being
agreed to by both houses, this matter is at last
settled. Several bills and resolutions were pre-
Sented

IMPORTANT NOTICE.-The subscribers
L will regard it as a great favor indeed, if par
ties who know themselves indebted to them will
promptly come forward and pay up, as we really
need what is now due us.
In the future we propose selling for cash exclu-
sively, but should any variation from this plan
occur the party interested must not think hard
if the bill is presented, and payment expected in
a few days thereafter.
By strictly adhering to the above proposition
we will be enabled to sell goods at from eight to
twelve per cent. less than under the ruinous cred
it system, and by calling and examining our stock
and prices you will see it.
