The virginia Debt,

The Richmond State Journal"
takes the rather original ground that
the State Of Virginia has nothing to do
with the ante bellum debt Of the Com
mOawealth-that was wipad out by the
war and tho destruction Of the State
by the General Government, which
divided it and erected instead two new
States, Hence that paper says; "By
the laws Of nations the Federal Gov.
eminent is alone responsible to the
foreign boudholder, and should hole
itself equally bound to pay the bond
in the hands Of the American holder.
