AN EXTENSIVE COUNTY. county of
Augusta, in Virginia, once embraced the States
of Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Mich
igan When Virginia was named after Eliza
beth, daughter of Anne Boleyn and Harry
VIII-he of the many wives-it was the proud
boast of her then few inhabitants that her ter
ritorial limits extended from the Atlantic to the
Pacific and up and down to each pole. When
battling for American Independence with a
handful of hungry, ill-clad and worse armed
patriots against the disciplined legions of the
British King, it was, in case of being overpow-
cred, to the mountains of Augusta that George
Washington proposed to retreat to make last
stand for liberty and the rights of man. -
Virginia. though she gave away an Empire and
was despoiled of half her territory by iniquitous
legislation, has no reason to be cast down-ncr
is she. There is life 10 the old land yet
Rich. Fhig.
STATES INTEREST IN WoRKs OF INTERNAL
IMPROVEMENT. Among the few bills passed
by the General Assembly at this session is a
| very important one amending the act approved
March %, 1871, directing the Board of Public
Works to sell the States interest in works of
internal Improvement, providing that at said
sale no bonds, stocks or claims held by the
State against any internal improvement COM
| paDy shall be sold for less than the par value
of such stock, bonds, loans or claims, and the
interest that may have accrued and is now due
| thereon, or for less than the market value
| thereof. State stock will be received at par
from purchasers in payment for purchases.
APPROPRIATE. AS soon as the Legislature
reassembled On Tuesday. Mr.. Gilman, in the
House of Delegates, introduced bill to au-
thorize the appointment of commissioners to
report on the expedency of establishing luna

the action of the Legislature in regard to the
