VIRGINIA.-It was quite the fashion a year
or two or ago. to decry the State Of Virginia
tor not paying proper attention to works of IN
ternal improvement and to the subject Of edu-
cation. The truth is, the accusation, in the
sense in which it was made. was never correct;
but We suppose that after what has occurred
during the past, and in the present year, no
one will now undertake to arraign the old State
on the charge referred TO. Certainly, no State
in the country has recently shown more. few
rs much interest in these matters than has
been exhibited in Virginia. On all hands,
railroads lines of municaton-ulateriali in
terests, manufacturing plans, and Colleges and
Schools have engrosSed public attention. The
people have every where shown the liveliest
concern in all that relates to their business
prosperity as we'll as their mental culture. We
are pleased to see it, because We know that in
due time its fruits will be enjoyed. Virginia
will yet be one of the greate$t States in the
country, in every respect.
