ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGIsLArURE.-Our
readers will learn with high qualification that
the Legislature has adjourned. 1t is the first
Loco Foco Legislature New York has ever had,
and heaven grant it may be the last. Its do
ings may be summed up in few words. It's
chief end and aim seem 10 have been TO undo
all that the Wings had done. No matter how
wise and salutary the measure, if its origin was
Wing it was doomed, and the work of destruc-
ton was accomplished, so far as it was IN the
power of the majority. They have stopped
the public works, that source of our
greatness and wealth they have, when
lessening our ability to pay, imposed
direct tax; and, as a fitting finale, though
claiming to represent fresnsn, they struck
down the right of trial by Jury, as an appear
ing sacrifice to the spirit OF slavery, and pros
tratedfree New York at the foot of slave-ridden
Virginia.
Gov. SEWARD promptly and nobly refused TO
be the degraded instrument Of carrying this
humiliating act Of homage into effect, but the
resolutions remain to stain our Legislative
Journals. i ne neSSdSc Oi INC oo'eihoi, ~
fusing to transmit these resolutions, will be
found in another coumn.- Buffalo Jour.
CoNNEcrIcUr.-Ther result of the late cleo
tons in this State shows considerable Access
sion to the wing strength since the April cleo
ton. In Hartford county, where Ellsworths
majority over Cleveland was only 40, the
wing sheriff was elected on Monday last by
near 200 majority. In Windham co. where
Cleveland had 20 majority over Ellsworth, the
wing sheriff is elected by over 200 majority.
In Litchfeld county, CIeveland's majority o.
yer Ellsworth, last month, was 264: the wing
sheriff is now elected by 155 majority. Well
done old Connectcut.-AB. d. I'D.

REJECTION OF EXECUTIVE NOMINATIONS.
Several reflections of Executive nominations
were made on NJ on day Since the appointment
of Powell, the Senate have become extremely
cautious in confirming Mr.. Tyler's nominal
lions. For this commendabe caution, the
Madisonian and other Tyler papers have raIs-
ed great clamor against the senate. In then
opinion, the President should be allowed to
crafty his own caprices, and his own prefer
ences without the slightest check, while the
senate must not venture to exercise the power
which the Constitution gives them, by vetoihg
the nominations Of those whom they believe
to be dishonest, incomplete mt, and untaIthful to
the requirements of the law.-Iroy wing.

We have heard number of our farmers com.
plain that the drought, which has prevailed in this
section Of the country for the las. three months,
has greatly injured, ifit will not prove entirely IA
tai to the next wheat crop. Similar complaints,
we regret to state, reach US from other sections.
The Chicago Democrat Of the 5th inst says:
eve regret to hear from all parts of this
state and all the adjoining ones that the dry wea-
Their has entirely cut oil all hope of good crop
of winter wheat the next season. Many of our
farmers are intending to plough up the ground
sowed last fall. For another season the main re-
lance must be upon spring wheat"
The same complaint is made in Missouri. The
Hannibal Journal says:
at is feared that the excessive drought which
has prevailed throughout this entire region, will
be fatal to the next wheat crop. There has been
scarcely any rain since the middle Of August.
The effects of it on the early sown wheat have
been particularly severe, the greater part having
germinated and perishcd"
The drought has, we believe, prevailed pretty
generally throughout the west, and its effects on
the wheat has probably been everywhere nearly the
same. We may, therefore, confidently expect a
considerable advance on prices next year.

them all in the magnitude Of her majorities.--
The result is not lesc a moral triumph, than a
great political victory, which, with iirmncss and
integrity on the part of the ascendant Democracy,
determines the political complexion and policy OF
the state for many years TO come.

Important 10 1ar Payers. -The Chicago Cili-
zen states that it was decided by Judge Smith, in
case which came before him at the recent term
otthc circuit coult in that city, that government
lands only taxable five years from the date OF
the patent, and not. as has been generally suppos-
cd, five years from the date of the duplicate GER
tiiicato of purchase. This decision was made up
on the principle that the title remains in the Uni
ted States unit, the issue of the patent and we have
no doubt it will be confirmed by the supreme court,
if an appeal should he taken to that tribunal.
The business of the general land Office is so far in
arrears that delay of two or three years may in1
tervene between the time of entry and the issue
patents for lands purchased at the last sales.

A formidable Sen bog.

| A correspondent of the Montreal Herald, wri-
! ting from Washington, gives the following &C.
count o: marine monster, now in process of
construction at the Washington navy yard;
An item of news might tell You Of the
steamship of war Union, Capt. H., now
lying a, the Navy Yard here. II accounts
be true she may more properly be called
The UniqNe. for she is the only one of her
kind. Her tonnage is nearly 1900, and
she is propelled by a horizontal wheel,
submerged some Is fee, below the surface.
This wheel is protected by sort Of false
bottom, so that it may be considered al
together within the boat. Her armament
is, think, eight SO Founders for solid or
hollow shot, and her speed is to be IL
miles per hour. Her bow is exceedingly
sharp and is built pigeon breasted so as 10
cause an enemy's balls TO glance of at any
but large angle, and it is said that even
in this case her powers of resistance are
uncommonly great
The particular purpose she is inten-

cut an cnemy's ship in two, and this favor,
it is supposed, she can effect for any
marine ediice now ahoat. After the con-
cussion, she is to back her engines, and
retire for another attack on second
enemy, or to allow her boats to pick up
the surviving crew of her vanquished foe
and what is more astonishing than all
is, that her engnery is SO constructed as
suddenly TO shift its place, without detri-
ment or arrangement. This last precau-
ton is obviously necessary TO her effec-
tiyeness for the purpose intended. She
is, in short, represented as sort of steam
marine batterng 'am, or Roman bcaked
lrireme, with the modern advantage of the
steam engine AID Paixhan gun. Such is
briefly the li,e,al description given of this
vessel; wiener she will answer the cx-
pectatons lormed of her, cannot, Of
course, nos be told, hut she will be ready
for sea by the LIST Of December.

Eagle owes Memphis Bank about $1,000, for

announces it thus in his paper:
There is large and rare collection of the auto
graphs of distinguished individuals deposited for
safe keeping in the cabinet Of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank, each accompanied with note,

learn they have cost the bank great deal of mo-
ney. They hare paid orer a thousand dollars for
Ours. We hope great care it taken to preserve
those capiidi aad interesting relics; as, should
they be lost we doubt whether they could be ca
silly collected again. Should the bank, however,
be SO fortunate as to lose ours Wen let them have
another at half price, in consequence of the rery
hard times"

or Winter it seems has fairly set in with us.
Up to ten days ago the weather had continued
mild and pleasant, but then it changed, and we
have had very respectable winter weather since
then. The change was so sudden, that it took
the doves black birds, &c, completely by surprise,
and many, not being able to "bide the pcting of
the pitiless Storm" have been found frozen to
death. Both rivers at this place closed up last
Friday night, and the ice is, we presume, strong
enough to be crossed with teams. Cold weather
sets in with us this season about four weeks ear
licr than usual.
