Thia body ii now entering upon the third week of its Marion, and as yet not the lint atep to ward, organization ha* been accomplished. Fac tious are fighting for the spoils, some from prin ciple, others from interest. We hsrdly know how to classify parties there. The Demrcrats num ber some 76, the Republican* cast SO votea lor C-?u2pbell and the vote foi Banks has been swelled to tOJ, pretty much ol the same atrtpe of politics, including we auppoae the auti Philadelphia plat form Know Nothings of the North.

We b d hoped that ome union would h?. formed between the Union men of all parties * hich would organise the" II luse and put duwu a.itatiuo, but thus far we have been signally dis appointed.

Iteally we begin tu think Willi Mr. Letcher that members bad best resign and let us have a new i ItctioD, and we will try and send n Congiesa there thji will do our work and go home. We expect little but wrangling tbii session any* h<yw, a nd we are iaclined to. give our consent, were it asked, to the whole b-idy's going hoinr and ;tiving there. The President am! Gov.

We will put ourstakeaon the chivalry in that cbntcit, and as Congress h>a git up the slavery agitation,to a great extent, we think the constituents should stand off and Ittthem fight out the consequences. How diff rent thia from the earlier days of the Republic! if the signets of Ibc declaration, if the frumers of the Constilution, couid be called back, to the scents of their life and their gloty, if thfy could but perceive the factious and unlrattr n?l spirit row actuating the sons of the sir*! of ?70, would they not shed tears of anguish over the lailure ol the b.igbl dreams of fraternal prosperity which they aicturcd forth and anticipated fur the land which they disenthralled?

Taxation in Virginia. T!i8 Auditor cf public Accounts has Isid before the Legislature has biennial statement, by which it appeara there hat been paid into the Treasury j nl the Stat* fr<<m all source's 111 two years the sum of 13.753,000. Th* disbusemrn's have amounted to t he sum of #4,3W,53J,; excess of disbyerments Hit, 911. Besides this sure there are to be pa:d, ? - ore regular anil sepeeial appnpri-iti.ins msde in 1M3 and 1854, in addiicn to the usual appropria tions, lb*sum of <6l6.t22, trim which isdeduct > ed itas balance ia the treasury of 115.018, and thet: itau actual deficit on this alone of (501,503. The diabu-eraeuta for the year 1855 and 1857 are b< ? ? expee'ed to exceed the receipts by the su in of 6660, - 403. The necessity therefore arises of increasing the State taxes 33 per cent., or about 27 cents on eack $100 of value of property But it is supposed that a law providing for a re-aasesnncnt of the real estate of the Commonwealth will be passed at f u-e*tly penod. To meet the already misting de ficit the Auditor says: "The increase of the deficit which will exist at the end of the yea' 135\>-'56, over that at the cluse ol tne last fiscal year, will beocc-ismned by an in crease of the amoant to l? paid over the siuking fund, (or m erest, 4c.. on the public debt, the in creased expenses of th^ Government, lor pay of the General Assembly, and tbespeci.il appropria tions asked for. "In order, then, to plsee means in the re?smy to'meet the deficit which it has br'en antit ipnted wilt exist, und'-r the present laws; at threndot the ye->r ISM-'K, excluding the deficit of the last year, a furthit tax will be necessity of about 12} on earb ttOO value of property, and other taxable subjectsol revenua in proportion. This, i.> addi tion to the 30 centt now imposed, and 15 cents to aupply the deficit which accrued prior to October 1, IS35, will swell the taxes to 10 cents on each ?100 valueof taxable property, aud other subjects in proportion. "It is not pretended that the nte upon every su jeet of taxation shall be doubled, but less than mii esmgriLcrcaseof 100 per cent, will not, it is btli>-v?0, produce the revenue which will be requi r-d to sustain the public credit throughout the Us . cal year no* completed." jyA Washington letter says:?'Gen.
