public The dealings Of the day do not appear upon
either of the printed lists, but they are
large in the aggregate. A part of the firm

following from its Washington correspondent
Governor McMullen, of Virginia, has ar
rived here. bearing petition from himself and
numerous leading citizens of his State to Gene
raj Grant, asking that the stay laws be not ex-
tended beyond their present limitation, Janu-
airy l, 1869. The petition alleges that the
credit Of the State is involved, and that ii the
stay laws be extended Virginia will not be
able to meet the interest on the public debt.
1t further alleges that these laws have been
pronounced unconstitutional by Judge Mere
dith, Of Richmond Governor McMulen had
an interview with General Grant on the sub
ject this morning. The General was exceed
ingly affabe and polite, but was evidently op-
posed to much talking. The petition was
handed him, and after reading it carefully he
expressed himself as in favor of granting the
petition, but said he would like to consult
General Scho6ed before deciding what was
best to be doue General Schofeld having
been in charge of that Military District, he is
familiar with the subject. General Stoncman
has already expressed his opposition to any
further extension Of the stay laws. and has
advised all those who are unable to pay their
debts to proceed at once to secure the beueft

To our Patrons,

Hereafter this paper will be issued on
Thursday morning instead Of Wednesday,
Our reason for this change is that tho pres
cnt mail arrangement does not suit; large
number Of our best paying subscribers be-
ing compelled to wait two days for the news,
when, by the new order of things. they will
hayelthe Virginian in their hands few hours
after issue.
Another change--a very important one to
US, is the price, which will be $500, if paid
in advance $500 after. the expiration Of 6
months, or 25cts. month IN advance to such
as do not care to be in debt to the printer,
and cannot make the outlay Of years. sub
scription.
Transient advertisements for less than
3 months must be paid for in advance, if over,
payment must be made by special contract.
1t is our intention as far IS practicable to
do cash business from this time, which will
be much better for our patrons as well as our
selves.
Dear friends, you who have taken our pa
per, and paid for it, accept our thanks,
and let us assure you that when you are called
upon to leave this mundane sphere, that you
will have no printers haunting your every step,
b It will be borne to that brighter and b t..
land where newspaper are unknowa and
printers never dun.
But oh, delinquents, what fearful doom
will be yours if you continue to neglect pa
ing the printer Remember that every breath
you draw nears you to their everlasting
abode, and that when you arrive there, offer
ing the excuseses you now offer US will be Of
no avail. Read the following sensible article
from the Norfold Journal and come in and
pay up:
"a WoRD TO PUBLIsHERs.-Many of ou1
exchanges are talking, begging and imploriue
delinquent subscribers to walk up" and set
tie their subscriptions. We had hoped that
the experience of ante bel2uns days had
taught the publishers of Southern papers a
beneficial lesson but in this We are mistaken
