We learn from the Kentucky Wing OF the

is still thought to be doubtful.

the familiar language of the people of that

The attention of both Houses of Congress
was yesterday exclusively directed to the re.
ception of the Presidents Message, and eacI,
adjourned Immediately after the reading had
been completed. A regular journal of pro-
ceedings is therefore unnecessary. We shall
briefly state, however, that in the House Of
Representatives, the Speaker enumerated the
documents accompanying the Message, which
were referred to a committee of the whole
House, on the state of the Union, and ordered
to be printed.
Previously to the reading of the Message,
motion of Mr. sawyer's prevailed, authoriz-
ing committee of three members to be ap.
pointed, who, with three members Of the Sc.
nate, to be appointed by that body. shall have
the direction of the money appropriated to
the purchase of Books and Maps for the use
of the two Houses of Congress. And at the
instance of Mr.. Van Rensselaer,, it was resolv-
Cd, that two Chaplains, of different denomi.
nations, be elected by Congress, the present
session, Zone by each House, who shall inter
change weekly.

THE FUR TRADE.

City ofSt. Louis, Oct. 2s-Our res
ders will remember, that on the 4th
inst. Gen ASHLEY returned from the
mountains with the most valuable cole
lection Of Furs ever before brought to
this place; and unlike many others, led
from their object by prosperity, his
whole time has been indefatigably de-
voted TO the outfit Of another expedi-
ton. In the short space Of twenty
five days from the time Of his return,
he has collected together, and organ
lied, a most extensive party, consis.
ting Of 70 men, 100 mules and horses,
with an outfit Of merchandise, cstima-
ted in all, at 10000 dollars, which is
now ready to depart, and will leave this
place to day or Tomorrow, destined
West Of the Rocky Mountains, for
two years.
The amount of capital vested in this
single party, will give some IDEA OF
the great importance Of the Fur Trade
10 this State. The money circulated
by Gen. Ashley, for men, mules, hor-
ses, traps, &c. among our fellow-cit-
liens, will be Of the most essenlia: ser
vice to them, and their best wishes
must follow him for his success and
prosperity in this hazardous enterprise.
The Fur Trade is of a great local as
well as gene raj importance; and it is
surely a serious reflection on the pol
icy Of our Government, that our own
citizens are not permitted to trap up
on their own territory, while British
subjects are permitted to do so, and
carry away immense wealth, which
would, under proper regulations, ialf
into our own hands. The ensuing
Congress, we hope, will take up this
subject, and adopt such measures as
will effectually secure the advantage
afthis interesting trade to our own
| neople, .adrocals.

The great length of the Presidents Mes
sage, which we felt it duty to place imme.-
mediately before our country readers, as We
have already done before those in the District
excludes almost every thing else from our CO.
lumns, and its manifest importance fully e2ti'
ties it to such preference. It isa document
of the most intense interest. whether We view
it apolitical or literary production; and we
risk little when We predict for it the profound
attention Of every friend to his country, ard
as powerful an influence as has ever been
wrought by any similar paper that has gone
before it. We shall sieze upon the earliest
opportunity to remark upon its various impor.
tant features, and to lay before our reade.s, as
speedily as practicable, all the proceedings of
Congress in relation to it.

POWDER MILL BLOWN UP.

On Monday afternoon last, between 2 and o.
clock. the Powder Mill, in this town, about two
miles from this City, owned by Mr.. Daniel Rand,
was blown up, and two men were severely burnt
one of whom, we understand, expired in great agony
that night-the other, it is expected will recover.
The explosion is supposed 10 have been occasloned
by some gravel getting into the powder, at which
the man, who has since died. was at work, which
struck fire. The building was blown to pieces
Only these two men were in the mill at the Time
the other workmen having lett the mill but lew
minutes before Mr.. Rand's loss is stated to be
uncomfortable, as the drying shop was uninjured.

The following preamble and resolutions were adopted
Viewing with regre the necessity of convening in pub
lie meeting to express disapprobaton of any public
measures of the Legislature of the State, but sensible OF
the dsproporion of the burden placed upon u.s. at the last
session of the legislature, by unjust superintendent OF
the State Tax consider duty to thus declare our
dissatisfaction. We admit that all taxes, raised for the sup
port of government should be laid and raised from the
accessible property and that with view to equalze the
tax an equal assessment ought be made-therefore,
Resolved That consider the assessment, as made I'M
der the provisions of the Of 1876 to have been unequal
made and that any apporoned and raised ageea-
bly, to that assessment is highly oppressive to the citizens
of Newcastle County.
Resolved That this meeting appoint delegates to meet
