There is a law in the State known as the "law for the distribution of the proceeds of the sale of public lands," due the State under the act of Congress, September, 1841, and amounting to $41,000. This fund will be accepted by the Pierpont dynasty; it has hitherto been steadily refused by the Government of Virginia. Washington, July 5. --The picket guard of the New York troops
