Whilst IL il generally believed that tbe
General Assembly will not meet this year,
still the annual reports OF the beads OF de-
paftments, laws. &c, as required by law,
will be printed and sent out to members OF
The General Assembly all the same. The
law on the subject Is as follows:
CAS- soon a. The annual reports OF insti-
tutions and officers Of the Common W eaIlh
are received they shall he delivered by the
officer TO whom they are required to be
made, at once, 10 the Superintendent OF
Public Printing. whose duty it shall be TO
have five hundred copies thereof printed. in
octave form, and bound together. and be
distributed by him amongst the members OF
the General Assembly and The heads OF de-
partmen's," &C., &c.
The Superintendent Of Public Printing
has received and placed in ibe hands OF the
printer the annual reports OF all the de-
partmeD,S, boards, &c., except those OF tbe
Western Lunatic Asylum. the Eastern Lu-
natic Asvlum. the Deaf, Dumb, and Blind,
and The State Penitentiary, ard the Auditor
OF Public Accounts.
The Auditors report cannot be made up
until data is received from the various couD-
ties and cities OF the State. Returns from
these are rapldIy coming in, and no doubt
the whole will be summarized and given TO
the printer early in December. The Au-
ditOr and bis clerks are at work on the
figures 30 far furnished.
The report OF the Superintendent OF Pub
lie instruction Will be, a. usual, full OF facts
and figures, and shows that his department
is being administered with vigor and abil-
ity. The Superintendent has also written,
we learn, an elaborate report as TO Inc
Blacks burg College. This subject has eX.
cited universal interest in Virginia, and
will be looked for eagerly by the friends OF
the college. 1t will probably be made an
appendix 10 his regular report. DR.. Ruff

tural colleges of the country, including
some famous ones in the northern ana
