STATE BONDS. The Richmond correspon-
dent of the Petersburg Index says "The cir
cular issued from the Second Auditors Office
relative to the payment Of interest upon the
public debt has had happy effect upon the
market for State bonds, and there is now more
INQUIRY for them than ever before in the last
two years. 1t is a source Of qualification to
know too that they are now steadily advancing,
and must, gradually, resume their old value
for hereafter there is to be noquestion about
the regular payment of interest. Very few
bondholders have forced their tax-paylng cou-
pops into market, for the reason that they were
confident that Virginia would do her best to
pay interest, and they have not been dlsap-
pointed. -, -...@, 'ts

1.-The Valley Virginian says Stauuton firm
buy grain in Cincinnati for their distllery and
have it shipped to Richmond, out take it out
of the cars at Stanton, 1876 miles this side, be-
cause the through freight charges from Gincin
matt to Richmond are less than from Ciocinna-
ii to Stanton, and pertneny asks why this
discrimination We echo the inquiry: Why
is it that it costs the farmers and shippers Of
Winchester but one cent per bushel less to
market wheat in Baltimore than ltcosts to put
St. Louis wheat in the same marketl Why is it
that freight can be carried from Alexandria
to Baltimore and back over. Virginia railroads
to the termini for less than is charged on the
same lines from Alexandria direct to either Of
the points I? Why is it that cue,y rallroad,m and
ont of Virginia, is discriminating in this way
against local freights? This is an inqiry that
NAV almost be answered 10 word, or It may
he answered in columns; but it can avail little
to answer it again here or elsewhere. =
But the inquiry presents itself: Why VIII
the people endure it2 They are all powerful

occurred at Fincastle, Botetourt county, on
Monday last, court day, between Col. j. NJ.

out Of letter written to Mr.. Hopkins of Balti-
more by the former while the Directors of the

In which MIR. Ii. was cautioned mot to put
any faith in what Col. Pendleton might say, !"
declaring that he was "a black leg and utterly
unworthy of belief This document Col. Z.
retained. After the adjournment, of court a
meeting of the citizens of Botetourt was held
for the purpose appointing committees to meet
the engineers of the railroad and accompany
them in their surveys. After the meeting had
organized, Col. Pendleton arose and gave, an H.
tcresting account of the proceedings of the Dl-
rectory meeting, and then requested permission
to readta paper which he had, his possession.
This being granted, the COLONEL proceeded ito
read the letter of Col SpiHer, (who was pres

exceedingly bitter remarks, denounclng Col.

the accused beyond doubt, The Common
wealth Attorney merely stated the law and
evidence in the case, aud the jury, In five min
