BUSINESS IN srATE rINANcE.

The advent in the effort to untangle Vir.
gnia's debt OF cool-headed business men &c.
customed 10 large financial matters has not
been without its effective result.
Among the Virginia commissioners il is said
that all worked most earnestly to accomplish
the deliverance Of the state. and it would be
invidious TO prefer one above another in the
mead of praise which Will be their reward
from all true Nireinians.
The bondholders' committee had NOR.
difficult task than to defend position. They
had 10 convince the representatives of the
State that their mission was one. not Of abuse
and exacton. but of peace aud sympathy.
In this delicate and difficult task It will not
be regarded by the other members OF that
committee as a reflection upon their great in
diyidual merit 70 say that in the spirit Of fair
ness and disinterested devotion to the great
purpose Of the committee Mr. /. Il. Olcott
added to his reputation for signal ability in
directing the course OF great financial trans
actions. His experience, not only as a publio
officer when Comptroller Of the State
OF New York, but subsequently as the headof
a great financial institution. gave him An adj.
vantage which was used freely for the good Of
Virginia, and which reflected much credit on
himself. Virginia thanks him.

The preparation Of the land for wheat has
gone on without interruption. Indeed there
has not been a single operation OH our farms
which has been in the least obstructed by the
season.
This is the history Of the autumns in Viz
gnia from year to year. is it not remarkable
that with temperate climate like that which
Providence has bestowed upon this State.
with a soil which is either rich or capable Of
improvement. with products distinguished
for their variety as well as for their
quality, with the finest markets lying right at
our doors. the tide of immigration from
Europe and the North should flow by ours
borders and seek those distant regions Of the
Northwest. where tho air of winter wraps
everythingn its embrace before the period of

This state Of things cannot always con-
tinue. There is nothing so certainly in
scribed in the book of fate as that all the
physical advantages possessed b. this Com
monwealth must in time conduce 10 the full
lest development OF the varied resources. Il
may be o few years. IL may be many years.
but IN the end the agricultural population Of
Nirginia must increase enormously by acces-
sions from these outside streams which have
been flowing decade upon decade across the
Alleghanies, towards the valley Of the Ohio.

est settlements and the original Plantations.
