duties, and all orders theretofore issued would 

 be strictly observed. 



General Stoneman found little occasion for 

 any extraordinary exercise of the authority 

 vested in him, during the remainder of the 

 year. The Kandolph-Macon College, located 

 at Boydton, was removed to Ashland with the 

 authority of the commander, subject to future 

 legislation and the decision of the courts. The 

 stay law, which was limited in its operation 

 to the 1st of January, 1869, was extended by 

 military order to July 1, 1869, and the general 

 order of March 12th, relating to sale of prop- 

 erty under deeds of trust, was continued in force. 



The interest of the State debt of Virginia, 

 which fell due in July last, remains unpaid for 

 want of funds. The present condition of the 

 State indebtedness is exhibited hi the following
