The State interest. We learn that $383,925, the amount of interest on the Coupon debt of Virginia due on the 1st of January next, has been forwarded by the 2d Auditor of the State, Wm. A. Moncure, Esq, to the Bank of the State of New York. Thus we see that in spite of the financial difficulties of the times, the State of Virginia has promptly provided for the interest on her public debt. She has never yet been delinquent.

A gentleman just returned from a month's sojourn in South Carolina tells me that never before in all his life has he seen a whole people so imbued with a deep, solemn purpose, as are those people there. "If," says he, "any man wants to be cured of the opinion that South Carolinians are acting in a fit of wild, rash passion, let him spend three days among them, and my word for it, he will find that he has been dreaming.
