scotched. but not KILLED.

Verify this is so. The Senate Of Vir-
ginia has maintained its higher prestige,
and has to-day shown that though for the
moment, it may have been led astray,
yet upon reflection 1t has assumed its
true position as the defender of the rights
of the people, and the true supporter OF
every legitimate scheme which will tighten
the burthens Of our people.
On yesterday the bill to extend the
Alexandra and Fredericksburg road to
Richmond, was defeated--many of its
friends being absent--and, upon the motion
of the Senator from Amherst, the vote de-
feating the bill, was to-day reconsidered
by the decided vote of FL to Is, and was
made the order of the day for tomorrow
by vote of 20 to 49,
Earnestly and sincerely desiring the
passage of the bill, we indulge the hope
that it will be put into such shape as will
afford the largest benefit to our people.

Intelligence reached this city early this
moruing, of the decease, at his residence,
in Elizabeth City county, at two o'clock
yesterday, of Hon. Isaiah L. Lyons, the
colored State Senator representing the
counties of Surry, York, Warwick, and
Elizabeth City. Mr.. Lyons was quite a
young man, and of more than ordinary
intellect.
He was, we believe, a graduate of a
Northern school, and had acquired the
profession Of dentist, in the practice of
which he was engaged when he was
elected to fill the position from which he
has just been called by the stern summons
of the grim monster. His death was
announced on the floor of both houses this
afternoon.

Superior Court Judges are natives of the

are natives but one.
In Missouri, the Governor is not native,
and of the senators and members of Con-

not born in America. If North Carolina

Petersburg, "a Feb. 22.--A fire broke
out, at 10 o'clock last night, in the cellar
of the large furniture store of James T.
Morriss, on Sycamore street. The entire
building, with all its contents, was de-
stroyed. The furniture was valued at
1926, 900, on which there was an insurance
for $4,000.
The building was owned by John D.
Ragand, and was insured for $4,000.
The flames spread to the adjoining build
Ing on the South, occupied by r. A..
Martin & Co., commission merchants and
cotton brokers. In this store there were
800 bales of cotton besides large stock of
groceries, guano, &c.
Some 800 bales of cotton were saved.
The building, and everything else con-
tanned in it, were consumed.
Martin & Co. were insured for $65 1000,
which will cover their loss.
This building was owned conjointly by
