graph dispatches concerning the debt of theState
Of Virginia, and the improbability Of her. pay
ing her July interest as expected. Great anx-
iety seems to be particularly excited in Rich
mond, more than ever before, and as we pre-
sumo less stock is held in Richmond than for
many years, the cry must come from those who
have no stock, for those who have would re-
greet in silence our poor old mother poverty
as heretofore. Who has been selling short and
exciting the sympathy of our officials to expose
our State secrets? Itisquite time enough to
know when the time arrives, particularly when
the return for licenses could not be made be-
fore the month Of June Atany rate the dam
aging announcement has had its effect, and still
the stock keeps up. The gentlemen who have
sold short, had better pay up; the stock will
not get lower, we think. We have it from
good authority that orders have been in this
country for some time for Virginia State stock
from England. Stock iobblng is.a new thing
in Virginia. One OF THE PEOPLE.
