The legislature Of New York has ad-
journed. Previous to the adjournment, re-
solutions were adopted by both branches,
condemniug The course OF Gov. Seward in
relation 10 the controversy between New
York and Virginia, aud requesting The
Governor to transmit the resolutions TO Tie
Governor Of Virginia. This The Governor
refused to do in special message sent 10
The Senate aud Assembly wherein he sta
ted his reasons. This is another striking
evidence Of the good feelings entertained
by the democracy of the north towards he
southern section OF The union. When the
wings had i've Legislative power Of the state
OF New York, they passed law allowing
runaway slaves 10 have lfials by jury. aud
creating impedimcnls 10 The recovery Of

was passed evidently against the couslilu

on it. The country is, m The southern

scarce in the level country. hut in the bro

good. The most Of this country is an

animals. such Us bufTaloes. hears. wild
horses, aad great quantity eof fine cattle.

beautiful scenery that ever hehcld, they
ure green as Georgia wheat patch; The
swamps are infested with tigers, wild cais,
pnn,hcrs and wolves. A few days ago
there was much rumor in the country con-
cerning the Mexicans invading this coun-
try; volunteers hasrcned from all parts of
the Republic TO meet them; but they soun
found il was only stealing party who had
come this side of the Rio Grandc, for the
sole purpose of plundering; they all fed TO
their own land when they found that the
Texians were flockinS by scores to meet
them. The Texans do NOT apprchcnd
