VIFtOtNIA CLAIMS. Mr. A. Stevenson, of Va. rose to ask the attention ot" tlie lion e to a subject which was interesting to Virginia, and me rited an early consideration. It related to the unsatisfied claims of that state for advances of money made by her for use of the Genoral Government during the late war. The subject; Mr. S. said had been presented to Congress by the President, in a very strong message, at the last ses- sion;bur,owing to circumstances unnccessn rv t6 mention, had not been acted on.
