THIS DEUT OF VIRGINIA. The Petersburg Nfnvssays lion. A. II. 11. S'tiart, will, in a tew 'lays; introduce a new measure booking lo federal aid in nettling : the debt of Va. "It eets out wi'h iho? three declarations that, where " as Virginia, in past j'care, volunta- rilv gave much the largest jwrticn of her otigral domain to the gov. eminent ol the United States; and '. whereas, ia the late war, the State - "was violently dismembered and a ' new State carved out of her territo ry ; atid whereas property in slaves, upon which the public debt of the States was originally mainly based, was destroyed by the war, and onr State dive6tcd of its sovereignty jind reduced to a territory; there fore, resolved that the government ' oft lie United States be requested to pay over to the treasury of Vir ginia the federal revenues annually ' collected ix thk State from re ceipts on tobacco and vhiskey which, in the space of a few years i (designating the number) will cn . . lirely extinguish the State debt, ; and at the eanie time, not embar . rase materially the federal govern ment. Judge Cochran's plan is tor the U. S., to endorse evecteett mil--lions of our bonds. These we - can have- catheJ, and with the pro ceeds full, up to our old ones at their . iuarVet value, butt we presnme this very . lueasiiro would much exalt their "market value. On lafrt Tucs VOLUME IX. day, the Ilouse took np a joint res olution in regard to the further ad justment of the debt of the Com monwealth. The latter pronoun ces the adjustment by the funding bill as unjust, inequitable, onerous and calculated to impair the com mercial and industrial interests of the State, and provides for the ap pointment of a joint committee of five to devise some plan ot legisla tion looking to a further adjust ment between the State and its creditors, having due regard to the losses 6nstaiue"d by the State during the war. and to the present market value of bonds. Mr. llolbrook, the patron of the resolution, claims that there is a large and liberal.class ot bond-holders, both among those who funded and those who did not, who are willing to make a fair sot tlcmunt with the. Common wealth, iu view of the poverty of her peo ple. INFLATION IN THE HOUSE- After long and tedious debate before the country, the House of Representatives on the 23d voted squarely and overwhelmingly in favor of inflation, lixing the volume of Greenbacks permanently at 5400,000,000. The old limit va 356.000,000, with ; a reserve ot $44,000,000. Of the latter the Secretary of the Treattiry issued 20 millions during the panic, and quite an vtfjrt was made, first to return to the 356 millions atid next to adhere to the present volume of 3S2 millions. It has been argued by Nev England and the Eastern States that to increase the curren cy volume would leave no more in circulation, but the West and South failed to see the force of the jirgu menr, and they carried the day. It seems evident that an increase would make money m re abindant and tend to weaken values The debtor would find it easier to pay and creditor easier to collect. If S'tch effect should follow, the infla tionists will have done something towards squaring the accounts of the country and thus equalizing the distribution of money.

Ou the part of tne Ashautees tlie losses must have been very heavy . At the close of the day the King and chiefs were panic. stricken aud for-ook their men. We know that two of their 4,caboceers' were among the killed. Messengers were instantly despatched from the Queen Mother to Sir Garnet Wolse ley begging for peace. Although our men were excessively fatigued by over seven hours' fighting it was de termined to press on to Comnassie. and we reached the Ashantees capi til at dusk. In emering th city the same order was maintained as has been observed in our progiess from the Prah The first man actually within Coomassie was Lord Giiioid. who has gallantly led the way witn his scouts and been in the thkk of all the fighting He as wounded and had to be carried into the city. Next came the Black Watch, which has fought so gallantly and lost so iieavdy.

A STKANGi: IIISTOIIY. A Motlvrii Kip Van Winkle, mi nus the Sleej. On last Sunday an old gentleman eutereii the ears at t-abula oi' the train coming north, and in conversation with u icliow-iiasseiijjer confided lo him au mteiesiuii; portion of bis his tory, which is as follows: Some time previous to the late war he purchased a farm nearGieeii Island, paying half tlie purcha-t money down, ami mar i ied a widow, who was also his second wife. When the war began he eiitertd tlie army ai.d in oiii of the hotly eon tested battles lost a leg, for which, up on returning home he sulwtituled a cork limb. His last union was blest with several ch Mien, and all went along smoothly until the year IstitJ, when he and his wife began discussing the virtues of their former spouses, which produced a serious quarrel, ending by the wife driving him lrom home. Like Kip Van Winkle, he k'ssed his children and departed with out uue word of complaint or reproof. From his own threshold, he wandered over almost every portion of ihe world, and for eignt years his family nei'er received either letter or message from him. On Saturday, when he took the ears at Saimla, he was within a few miles of his old home, from which he, too, had never heard a word since t he day he left. Ou the train he met an olJ acquaintance, who informed him that his wife, supposing lfe had died, had married ai a in and had two chil dren by her hfcft union ; 'hat she was living tu the same old farm, aud, ai Enot k Arden was tnhl of An'iie, "was happy," Tbe old man replied that be was not grieved at that, but that he returned to see his children, of whom he epoke very a-ti'ectionately The third station the train stopped at, a young lady entered, who upon per ceiving the old gentleman, examined him very closely, after which bin. asked his name. He told her, and exclaiming. 4 Then you are my fai her, ' fche threw herself iuto the old man's arms. Both shed ters of joy at tbe re union, and our informant dcribes the scene as very atheiing. Tbe old gentleman has aeeumula ed qurt a neat sum of money in his wrtnrreritrgs. which he says he intends hiniseif and children to' ei.joy, and that he will leave his Wife inid her new husband to themselves on iheoM farm adding that h" will he I aiq-y in Company Willi his ila tig hrer,- who Is married, and that be fee in no destie to intt-rfeie with t'-e happiness of his wife.
