Virginia.

On Monday Governor Walker sent special
message to the Senate in response to a resolu-
ton from that body requesting him to give his
views as 10 the best mode of raising money to
pay the interest on the public debt and defray
the expenses Of the State, &c.
The message recommends the reduction Of
the principal Of the debt by the sale aud
application of the proceeds of assets
of the railroad bonds and stock and non
productive property of the State, by which the
proportion of the debt assumed by Virginia
will be reduced to 6,OOO,O 900, the annual in
terest upon which will be S1,56O,O0O 1t re-
commends certain changes and reforms in the
State government, thereby reducing the an
ntal expenses to 5000, 900. 1t recommends
the equalization and correction of assessments,
and the more thorough assessment of personal
property, by which the total assessed valua-
ton of real and personal property will reach
$500, 100000, the annual tax upon which
will be 1900, 900.
The tax from other sources is estimated at
$500, 900, making total revenue of s., $780,
600, Of which 100000 is to be appropriated
to schools, leaving balance of $4,000 900
available to pay the interest on the public
debt, and pay the current expenses of the
State government.
The Governor says the interest upon the
bonds funded under the act of March 80, 1871
that is, the funding act, must be paid, and no
mode of avoiding it can be devised, even if we
desired it.
He shows that the interest due and unpaid
on these bonds on the first of January, 1873
and that which will fall due by the first Of
January, 1874, will amount to nearly $4,000
600, which amount, added to other indebted
ness falling due during the current year.
makes total of over 81, g6O, 900 to be provid-
ed for by the lst of January, 1874.
The Governor concludes by saying that his
opinion has been deliberately formed, and ev-
cry calculation and estimate carefully made,
and if his recommendations are adopted every
result stated will be realized.

Inauguration.

Gov. Hendricks was ihengurated az India
napolis Indiana, on Monday. IN his inaasd-
ration address Mr.. Hendricks said aft is
primary among our obligations TO see that
every duty which the State owes TO the United
States is faithfully discharged, and that the
rights and powers of the State are maintained
and upheld. Between the rightful authority
of the State and the powers of the United
States there should be no conflict, and if they
be asserted and exercised in the spirit of the
Constitution, aud with proper appreciation Of
their relations, there will be none Under the
Constitution each State and the United States
are so related that support of one is fidelity to
both, and hostility towards either is hostility
to both, and exercise Of unwarranted authori-
ty by either provokes collision and is public
wrong.
The Federal power has become so great, the
area Of its operations so extended, and the
allurements to it's service so seductive that our
most wat chful care is necessary to preserve the
proper dignity and just influence Of the State
1t should attract attention and excite serious
concern when local troubles and controversies
growing ont Of matters wholly Of State con-
Germ are made pretext for the interpesition
of Federal authority and menace of the ma
tiOnal arms.

Exciting Scene.

An exciting scene occurred on South River,
at Coyner's Mill, on Friday last. There had
been a joyous gathering at the residence of
Mr. Layman the night before and on Friday
morning Alex. Mowry and Miss Matte Fret
well were returning home to New Hope in
buggy, having been preceded by several
other parties in vehicles Upon getting to
the ford at Coynor's mill, they found the
water quite high but Thought, as those ahead
had crossed in safety, they could do the same.
But they were not aware of how suddenly the
water had risen, since the passage of their
friends, for they had only driven in few
steps when the water flowed into the buggy
Still feeling certain that the crossing could be
made Mr. Mowry drove on. 4 moment more
and the horse lost bis footing, the vehicle was
lifted from the bed of the stream and all COM
menced going Rapidly down the river, the fu-
rious struggles Of the animal for his life threat
ching to oterthrn the buggy and drown the
occupants. In this perilous situation they
were carried down the raging current, the
freezing water boiling up around them and
threatening to ensulph them every moment
Mr. Mowry determined to take the only chance
for life that lay before them. Miss Fretwell
was sitting perfectly collected and not cry
of terror had escaped her lips. Throwing the
reins to the horse he rose in the seat, and
steadtipg himself for the leap, seized her and
sprang overheard with her. Being an expert
and strong swimmer, he cleft his way through
the secthng waters and in a short distance
reached a part of the stream where he could
walk ashore with his fair burden. The horse
and buggy were swept nearly quarter of a
mile below and washed into shallow water
where the animal struggled ont drawing the
buggy after hin.-Stdunton Endiedtof
