Virginia Election,
The news hy last-night’s man puls a dill’eron'
fico on the late election from what we announced
yesterday.—The Whig of the 3d inst. cla ms a
majority in each house of two certain, and hopes
for u still farther increase in the house of Repre
sentatives.—lt thus announces the intelligence.
Out or the Woods!—The mail of last eve
ning brought intelligence of the election of a
Whig in Mason and Jackson —a Whig gain—
which settles the question ns to the slate ol par
ties in tlie next House of Delegates.—Hardy and
Fayet o and Nicholas, have not boon officially
heard from, hut the Whig majority in both is so
large and decided, that no doubt is entertained,
but that they have elected Whigs. Including
them, the Whigs have 68—a majority sf two,
which, with the majority of two m the Senate,
gives the Whigs the confetti of both bodies, and
a majority of at least 4 on joint ballot It is
possible, and indeed probable, that this majority
will ho increased hy oilier counties. Braxton anu
Lewis is not without hope, and if Col. Lawson
was a candidate in Logan, that county has also
been gained.
(Xjp The friends ol Gen. Glascock, were thrown
into a painful state of anxiety yesterday on the
receipt of intelligence, that he had been thrown!
from his horse near Decatur, in Dekalb county
and so much injured that his life was despuind
of. Wo leant that in the full one of his feet was
confined in tho stirrup, hy which he was drag
ged a consideral In distance.

were convicted of the ciimo us rouhery with the
intent to murder. Ono of them was sentenced
to the penitentiary for ninety and the other for
forty years!
Tho New York correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, under date of the Ist, says:—
The influx of strangers here for the purchase of
goods lias made money quite abundant; every
stranger coming here adding something to the
common stock. It is a long time since there has
been specie shipped to Europe, and upon private
and public account for the month of April the
amount has fallen short of $100,00(1. The si ip
merit of a million and a half a month has boon,
within the year past, even a matter of common
occurrence.
The steamer Great Wosteru departs to-day with \
more than one hundred passengers. She leaves |
us with a rich freight in passengers and corrc.:- j
pondenco, but with no specie. The business I
done in sterling hills for the Great Western and
the Columbia has not been large. The rates j
established on England were IDtJj for city, and ;
lOC j for Southern. On Paris, hills were drawn
at 5.37 a 5.37 J. The Western goes to Bristol;
the Columbia, which leaves Boston, to Liver
pool.
I sec, from what I judge to he authentic state
ments in the European papers, that France has
run up a debt of about 290.000,000 dollars in
her late, flurry with Great Britain, including about
531 000,000 francs for public woiks—that is, to
fortify Paris. 1 have thought this a fact impor
tant to American Legislates; for, as the French |
Government has got to provide for this debt in
the money markets of Europe, our State stocks
will have a powerful competitor as a borrower
therc.

t he Bunks.
Our readers will find below a very sensible ar
ticle —in relation to the chartered Institutions of
our State, that I ave suspended specie payments
—which we copy from the Columbus Enquirer,
of Wednesday last, 't he views taken by the Ed
itor of that paper are perfectly conect. the
suspended Banks are not acting in good faith to
I lie people when they make no erection, either at
home or abroad, to' prevent the vciy exorbitant
shave which the people have to submit to, to re
alize specie value for their promises to pay. At
'll ir very do ns, they seethe merchant and others
who are compelled at any sacrifice to pay their
foieign debt selling their bills at from 1C to SO
per ccnl discount—and yet, while they make no
exertion to prevent aueh sacrifices on the pa t ol
those who are unfortunate enough to hold theii
hills, as such exertions, if successful, would lie at
tended with a loss, probanly, of 8,3, A, or 5 per
cent, they witn great equanimity ask forbearance
at the hands of the people, while, with the most
heartless indifference, they view the distress
which their own failure, to meet their own cn
isogemenls, priduces on every aide. If such a
state of things is to continue, the quicker these
Banks are out of the catalogue, the better. The
promise In pay of most of them are now « mere
drug; and those who have the management of
them in hand, seem to care but little who suffers,
so that the Institutions over which they preside,
are suffering no loss. All ol this the pen; |e must
bear. They must submit to a dead loss of 15 or
20 per cent, and to all die bad consequences at
tendant upon a depreciated currency, but the
Banka—who arc at least as much to blame for is
suing irre eomable paper, as the community is
for receiving it—are to bo sustained forsooth!!
The penalties of ihc law arc not to be indicted
upon them I!! Well, we shall see. How long
the people will submit to all this, time will show.
Bm rather than the present slate of things should
continue, wo would urge upon the really suffer
inn parly, to see that the laws of the land be
I enforced, so that strict justice may be dealt out to
all.
The article of the Enquirer is so much to the
purpose, that wo ogam call the attention of the
reader to it. Such plain unvarnished statements,
are well calculated to have effect, if not upon the
banks, at least upon those who claim still to be
the sovereignly, and, who in the exercise of their
attributes, may yet teach the banks a useful les
son.
The Basks.—The sufferings of the people
generally, and of the Merchants particularly, on
account of the enormous rales of exchange de
manded for Northern funds, are becoming in
tolerable. A wretched state of affairs, is upon
us. Wc cannot procure the wherewith to pay
an engagement at the East or North, wilhoin
paying therefor a rale of premium absolutely
ruinous The subject of the Exchanges is in
every man's mouth, and the anathemas of the
peopie arc poured profusely upon the heads ol
ihose who are supposed to have contributed In
produce the present derangement. No class ol
our citizens is more lavishly censured than those
who preside over our banking institutions. Not
even tShylock himself, with his grinding visage ol
usury seems for the present to bo looked upon
with more apprehension than those who control
these establishments—and for the simple reason,
that the Impression prevails universally, that th, y
have willingly contributed to bring upon the com
munity the present exorbitant system of ex
change. Whether this impression he correct or
incorrect, we are not competent to deride. It
seems, however, to our minds very clear, that the
Banks have failed to fulfil the reasonable antici
pations of their friends in this matter, and are
not altogether without fault. While ihry paid
specie, exchanges were hut a trill - above oar. and
they were competent to furnish them at these low
ra es, for their own bills As soon, however, as
Ihc specie payments were suspended, exchange
rose immediately to an enormous role, and can
now be had only at fifteen to seventeen or eigh
teen per coni, for these same bills. Wny is this 1
A-e not the banks bound by every consideration
of j rsiico and honor to hold up their b 11s to a
specie value I If they cannot nay the actual
specie itself—and we admit they cannot, and have
sustained the suspension—might they not, ought
they not at least to effect such arrangements
North ami East as would enable them to furnish
I lbs exchanges actually necessary in our ordinary
transactions—taking their own bibs at specie
value I To us it seems clear lhaf this is one ul
ihc moral obligations attending their cicnrion,
which they cannot throw off without a most pow
erful pallialory excuse. The consideration that
its fulfilment exposes them to a loss--even to a
heavy pecuniary loss—deserves no weight as an
i excuse. If by improvidence, or even by mis
| guided generosity, they have placed themselves
I in a situation that renders their business unprefi
j table, still they may not honorably extricate
j themselves, and continue their proliis by a resort
' to means violative of a high moral obligation,
j These thoughts are surges cd in no spirit of
j hostility to the Banks. Ou' readers—the Banks
t themselves will hear ns testimony that wo have
advocated and defended them, on all proper occa-
I skins, from the senseless attacks of locofocoisrn.
| Wc shall continue to do so ; hut we are never
; thelcss the guardians of other rights as well as
1 theiis, and it becomes us to speak out in behalf of
! our suffering mercantile interests. Tue present
{ state of our exchanges is insufferable, and those
whose province it is ought to remedy the evil.

has sent in eight , f bis warriors to the General to

have occurred lo prevent his reluming by the
specified, day bu' that he will return, and in com
