TIle Public Debt ofVirsinia---AlE Inn
rsoGtaGt Proposition.

In the last cotton circular (September 16th)
OF dr. johannes Roth: Of New York, intend
ed fer circulation in Europe, a very important
suggestion, bearing upon the future of Virgin
ia, is embodied AS translated from the Ger
man, the closing paragraph Of the circular
reads as follows:
according 10 statement which appears in
one of our leading commercial prints, the last
cotton crop proves to have been two and halt
millions Of bales, Of which our spinncrs took
direct by rail 200 900 bales. while the Southern
States consumed 60, 900 bales themselves The
latter is an event of the most cheerful nature
and on this occasion you will permitmc to com
nunicate to you that with redoubled Vigor the
immigration Of Whites and Chinese into the
Southern States will be taken 10 hand by ener-
getic Americans and Europeans. Under cover
OF the Burngamc treaty, Chinese immigrants
will be introduced into Louisiana and the other
Gulf States direct, from Cuba and via San
Francisco by rail, and in large companies;
whilst General Imbodcn and other prominent
ex-Contcderatcs arc in hopes Of drawing what
I NAV be allowed to call g migration of multi
tudcs into Virginia and North Carolina, the
Italy of this continent They have already Sc
cured extensive tracts Of land in Virginia at
SIS per acre. and thrown them open to immigra
ton. This movement is one Of the most i'm
portant which all OF sudden arises, and
European war would thus attract towards the
South thousands. In q couple of years, the
negro question would thus meet with such
solution as the brilliant future of those now
liberated States ensures The same beyond all
doubt"
This circular, we are informed, is in further
ance of plan that gentlemen largely lnteres-
ted in the bonds of Virginia, are endeavoring to
arrange; by which the creditors Of the State
are to combine in an effort to set her upon her
feet again as speedily as possible, so that she
may at once resume the payment of interest on
her Indebtedness. and her securities may ad-
vance to their old value.-Rlchmond Wing.

WASHINGTON ITEMs.-Last evening the ar
raDgements which for the past two months
have been in progress by the Radical leaders of
the city, eliminated in the assembling at the
CITY Hall of about three thousand negroes, and
about three hundred white men, who formed
in procession, with torches, Banners music,
&C. and after marching through some OF the
priDcp pal streets, were finally compelled to dis
band on account Of the heavy rain storm which
prevailed during the evening. For the same
reason the grand mass meeting which was to
have been held at the Navy Yard proved q
failure.
Yesterday further search was made into
the affairs of L. B. Oimsted, the absconding
disbursiDg agent of the Post Office Department,
and complete examination reveals the fact
that the defaication will reach the sum Of
S45 600. Several OF the clerks in the Post
Ofcs Department had deposited in Mr.. Om-
ernmcnt bonds, which they had accumulated
from their earnings. O0e of the clerks, Gen.
Pedro, an old man, had placed So. 300 worth Of
bonds. others less amounts None OF these
bonds can be found.

DREADFUL AFFAIR-An affray occurred at
Millersport, Lawrence county, Ohio, last Mon
day, which threw the entire region into excite
ment. A nan by the name of Miller went to
the house OF Mr. Baker, and being under the
Influence of liquor got into a controversy with
Mr.. Bakers sister and used some disrcspectful
language Another brother learning OF the
affair, went to Miller to see him about it, when
| an alteration cnsued, in which Miller hurled a
small cannon ball at Baker Miller then start
ed to run and Baker pursued him with large
bowie knife, with which he succeeded in strll
ing Miller The knife was buried in Miller 5
| back to the depth Of five inches. The wound
| ed man fell with the knife still sticking in his
back. he would not let it be removed until q
surgeon arrived The wound is horrible one
| and will probably prove fatal If it has not done
SO already. Baker retreated over the river
soon after A singular matrimonial affair is
connected with this dreadful occurrence. Mil
Ter was engaged to be married. and as it was
thought the wound would prove fatal it was
arranged to have the marriage consummated
So late at night Of the Gay on which the ARRAY
occurred the aftaEced presented herself at
! the couch of her intended and the matrimonial
I knot was duly tied.
