It may not be uninteresting to your readers to h*ve occasionally a line from ? well-wisher in tKia city, especially a> the Legislature is in session and many subjects of general State importance are ponding before it. As usual, the members are slow in returning to duty after the holidays. Many spend them at home, and then the time for returning to duty is subtracted from work ing davg, thus making the holidays extend prac tically, some time past New Year's day. How. 'ever, there has been a quorum since Wednes day, and both branches seem inclined to go to bard work. Our tax payers will be much grati fied to learn that the Internal Improvement com mittee haTe determinedyto report no new appro priation bill tliis scssioa, as the financial coadi - tion of the State requires the most jealous watching of her treasury and support of her cre dit; whether the House will support the commit tee remains to be seen, but of one thing you may rest assured, that the present Legislature will at all hazards uphold the credit of Virginia. Already the taxes must be doubled to meet ex isting liabilities. Is it wise to .increase them? I am very clear tliat the chances are that no hea vy appropriations will be made - this session, and few of any kind, but to complete works already commenced and in process of construction. As usual, there i? legislation proposed, very mate rially affecting thj interests of your city. The Pan Handle right of way is up, and its hobbies are on hand. It is strange that a company which insist* that it has full legal rights to take and ap propriate Virginia to its use, and to bridge the Ohio ad libitum, should still worry and harass the legislature of Virginia, year after year, to grant that which it already claims to haTe. Iam half inclined to d jubt the sincerity of those who make such claim. The North West ern Virginia Railroad ConiiJiny are seeking to take off the restrictions on their charter, or rath er ita condition*, for such they were at the date of its passage, and such they still are. The friends of the road are making a zealous effort, and may succeed, despite the circumstances and conditions attending the passage of the law, which are timiliar to many now in the Legivla ture. But, noun rerrowt. The Rank question, as between the new systems, is regarded as settled; but there will be labored efforts to amend and re strict the present charters. Some kind volun teer is sending forth his missives in printed pamphletafrom Alexandria, seeking to enlighten our legislators to introduce the now system, Ac., rtc. I think he had as well save his pen and pa per. Thompson, the Wall street broker is fight ing on the same side, evidently for the purpose of enhancing Virginia State stock*, of which he and his friends hold some $ti,000,000. They will not "succeed, even were the new Hank sys tem adopted, as new issues of stock would bo the basis. But this will hardly be done. The weather is very cold here for this region, and ice getting is occupation for many. The prospects are that Gov. Wise will be called upon by the General Assembly soon for information as to some questions which will render a message necessary and proper. Will write to you again Boon. H. THE COLONIZATION CAUSE 15J VIRGINIA. The Report of the Colonization Board for the years 1864 and 1855, to the Legislature of \ ir ginia, contains some interesting facts. It was shown by the Report of the 5th of December, 1853, that from the Oth of April to the 5th of December of that year, there were transported to Liberia, through the agency of the Virginia Colonization Society, complying with the terms of the law of 1853, one hundred and sixteen free negroes, for whom the Board made an al lowance of $30 each, amounting to the sum of $.5,800. From the 5th of December, 1353, to the pres ent date, the Board has passed at the rate of 450 each for one hundred ami eight and of $30 each for sixteen emigrants; making two hundred and four free persons, and amounting to the sum of $0,880. It will thus be seen that the untiro number whose.ttanaportation lias been paid for since the organization of the Board is three hundred and sixteen, and the sum paid $to.tiS0. Cnnder the act of 1850 a capitation tax was levied upon the free negroes of the Common wealth to raise funds for their colonization. It appears by the report that from 'this tax and from taxes on seals and attestations devoted to the like object there has been received in the ag gregate to the present time the sum of $50,000; yet in conscquence of the restrictions placed up on the expenditure of the legislative bounty, this entire sum has been expended and been absorb ed by tho general treasury of the State. The expenses for the collection and embarkation ol the free negroes are now borne exclusively by the Colonization Soeiety, which is dependent for ita revenue wholly upon the irregular and un certain contrubutions of private benevolence.? The Board earnestly recommend that authority may be conferred upon them to apply a part of the fund provided by the State for the transpor tation of its free colored population beyond ita limits to the collection and embarkation of the ?migrants. Dbath oft the Stage.?The Toronto Globe state* that during the performance at the theatre in that city on the night of the 37 th the audience were alarmed by shrieks behind thesccnees and by the raanvger rushing to the foot-lights calling for medical aid. A doctor in the audience promp tly answered the call, and it was subsequently ascertained that the clothes of Miss Rosalie A. Cook, an interesting child of twelve years of age, ha 1 caught fire. It seems that the unfortunate girl, dressed in the light gauzy apparel suitable for the piece in which she was about to take part, whilst standing in one of the side stage entran ce unconsciously allowed her dress to take tire at a stove which was in the passage, and, in iqiite of the etforts of three of the actors who were close at hand, she sustained such injuries that death was the result in a few hours after.

On motion of Mr. Imboden, it was JiesohfJ, That the committee on Finance in quire whether it is not expedient as a measure of sound policy, in view of the present aspect of our political and commercial relations to the Uni on, and practicable under the State and Federal Constitutions, to remodel and amend existing laws on the subject of license taxes imposed on j merchants and others engaged iu the sale ofj goods, wares and merchandise, the product and; manufacture of other States, and of foreign! countries, so as to foster and promote doiucstic j industry in this State, and encourage direct! trade with foreign countries by imposing a high-! er rate of taxation on all who are in any wise 1 engaged in the sale of manufactured products ofj the Northern States; and at the same time di-' minishing the amount of taxes now assessed up-! on, or of altogether exe npting for a number ofi jrears, all cay it'll now or hereafter to be invested! in this State, in the direct foreign trade, or in ; the manufacture of any of the fabric's o: iron and i i other u.i lerals, wood, cotton, v.ool, leather, l.i les, and furs, and such other articles as it may ap | pear to tao committee, can, with proper Lcgisla ' tive protection, be manufactured as well in this Stito as elsewhere; and tl V. the said committee . furteer inquire into .ho expediency and propriety o.' withholding licenB.-s aito^et ier from itinerant , ha vkers and pedla: s of all kinds, and travelling i agents for.the of 1-noks, pamphlets, periodi.

Mr. Barnes offered the following resolution, ' which he desired to be laid upon the table and j made the order of the day for Wednesday, ttth : instant: Knotted, That in consideration of the embar rassed condition of the finances of the stale, and the inability of the Board of Public Works to sell the State bonds at par, it is inexpedient to make appropriations to works of Internal Improvements during the present session of the Legislature. ?Mr. Andnrson moved that the resolution be postponed. Several Members?Agreed! agreed! Mr. Barnes stated that his object in offering the resolution was to save the time of the House. The}- were all aware of the fact announced by the chairman of the committee of Roads, that some $23,000,000 had been asked for in behalf of schemes of internal improvement, and to act upon all of them would be impossible, in the present embarrassed condition of the State. It ! seemed to him that now was the proper time for 'tiu-' Legislature to indicate the course they de ' sign to pursue. By passing the resoiutionsub mitted by him, confidence in the credit of the ?State would be at once established, and the Board of Public \\ orks be enable to sell the State bonds at par; and thereby complete the works now in progress. After further remarks by Messrs. Barnes and Anderson, the motion to indefinately postpone was agreed to by a decided vote. RESOLUTIONS ON VARIOUS SUBJECTS.

Qr We announced, a few days since, the death of Dr. Wiiliam H. Harding, a member of the House of Delegates in Virginia. From the Richmond Dispatch we learn the sad circum stances of his death. Dr. Harding had been laboring for some five or six days under a severe attack of pneumonia, ; which had left him in a very weak condition, j though liis attending physician considered the j disease conquered, and his patient rapidly recov i ering. A gentle cathartic being deemed proper j on Friday tnoniinz-, his physician suggested the [ citrate of magnesia, a modern preparation, not 1 much used in the country, hut very popular in | cities. A prescription was prepared for the mag nesia and for some morphine?the latter to ho used externally upon a blister which was pain ful and which had been much soothed by the application of this medicine. A servant obtain ed the medicine, and instead of taking it to the attending physician, as he was directed, he took it to the room of the patient, who emptied the powder into the bottle and then drank half of it. The paper contained thirty grains of morphine. So he had taken fifteen. When the mistake was discovered the stomach pump was used, the stomach succe-ssfully emptied, and everything fiat could be done was tried to resuscitate the patient, but in vain. It is supposed that Dr. Harding, who had not Been the prescription, and who was not acquainted with the citrate of magnesia, concluded that the paper contained aome acidulated powder to be thrown into it. |gy~John Beasley has been sentenced to be liiittg at Mobile on the 1st February. [Prom the Baltimore Patriot.] ANNIVESARY OF THE BATTLE OFXEW ORLEANS. Did General Jaflton Construct hit Dffenett of Cotton Halt* Forty-one Tears h^o this day was fought the memorable balL* of N. OrLaas, ruid though its an nual observance has fallen into partial disuse, it is nevertheless worthy of such commemoration as a brief parapraph may give. On this occasion the American forces under General Jackson,! consisting chiefly of volunteers from the West- j ern States, not only successfully resisted an at-j tack of veteran-troops crowned-with the laurels J gained in the great Napoleonic wars, but corn-t pe!le>l thenrto seek safety by a retreat to their; vessels of war, with the loss of General l'acken- j ham, their commander, and a list of killed and : wounded niunberiug in the aggregate three thou-! sa:td men. The loss on the part of the Ameri- j cans was only seven men killed and six wound-! ed. It has been made a question of late years.: whether General Jackson funned his defences of j cotton bates or not One writer iu giving the, substance of a conversation which he alleged to ? have been held between himself and General | Jackson, made the latter emphatically deny that the cotton bales so often referred to iu subse-! quent histories, constituted 11" part whatever of llis defences, which wert merely low brcnsl w .rksi f .-Jluvidsoil, ? a .ableofbeirgoverleaped ; at all points by an ordinary horseman. One of our morning contemporaries also as- j Filmed, not long since, that the story of the cot-! ton bales had no foundation in truth, and the ' statement thus made w.u extensively copied j into the journals of the day. We linve reason : to believe that both parties were incorrect, that Gen. Jackson must have qualified his denial by | restricting the breast work of cotton bales to a part of his IiSte of defence, and that our neigh-! bor has assumed the absence of this novel spe-! cies of material for defensive purposes, without! tairly examing into the truth of the incident, as handed down to us in accounts of the last war \ and in local publications. Recently a work has appeared, which in our opinion confirms the statement. In the auto-biography of Vincent Nolte, the i commercial agent of several large European | houses, and particularly of the famous bankers, j the Hopes' of Amsterdam, the writer, then en gaged in business in New Orleans, states that not only did cotton bales form part of Jackson's line of defence against the British attack, but ! that of the cotton bales so used, 245 bales be longed to the aforesaid Nolte, and about 60 bales j were the property of Fernando Alzar, a Span i iard, resident at New Orleans, the whole being : the cargo of the balk Pallas, then lying in the j stream. The narrative of Noite, which bears the title of "Fifty Years iu itoth Hemispheres," L? i replete with interest jand adventure, and fdieds ! considerable light upon social and commercial I life at the South during the early years of this . century. Saltation Extraormnakv.?At a ball, on | New Years' evening, a tree was prepared laden I with various gifts, as a prize for the couple who ; should waltz the longest.

FOR the rapid aure of Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bron chitis, Whooping-Cough, Asthma and Consumption, is uni versally known as the beKt remedy ever yet dincoeered for every variety of Pulmonary Disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and no numerous the cases of its cures, that al most every sectiou of the country abounds in persons pub licly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate Diseases of the Lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority over every other medicine of ita kind, is too apparent to .weape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous aftlict;ons of the pulmona ry organs, which are incident to our climate. By it* timely ase many, nay almost all attacks of disease upon the Lungs or Throat, are arrested and thufc are saved many thousands every year from a premature jrravf. No family should be without it, and those who do neglect to provide themselves with a remedy which warda off this dangerous class of dis ea?ea will have cause to deplore it when it is too late. Proofs of the surpriaing efficacy of the Cherry Pectoral need not be given to the American people,?they have living proofs In every neighborhood. But those who wish to read the state ments of those whose health has been reatored and whose lives hare been saved by ita use, will find them in my A mer le ah Almanac, which the agent below named has to furuuh gratis for every one.
