TIE FIST VICTIM DEMANDED

The Louisville Journal is out in
avor Of the prompt removal by Gen.
Taylor Of Gen. Joseph Lane, Governor
Of Oregon. The asst gned cause is to be
found in the fact that Gen. Lane defend
ed the volunteers Of his State from unjust
attacks.
From the general in command down
to the lowest subordinate, the army boast
cd not drawer officer or more devoted
patriot than Gen. Joseph Lane. Wher-
ever fighting WIS to be done, there Gen.
Lane was TO be found; and so much was
his daring and chivalrous conduct admir-
ed, that the army, officers and men, be .
slowed upon him the soubrquet Of the
"Marion Of the army" the highest
praise that could be bestowed.
When appointed governor Of Oregon,
he promptly left friends, Il ONE, and ali, to
rally to the rescue Of the citizens of Or
egon: in danger Of slaughter by their saw
age enemies; and at the time this call for
his removal was made, Gen. Lane, was
struggling with the SHOWS Of the Rocky
mountains; and is now, if not cut off by
the savages, encountering the chill blasts
OF the pralrIes in northern latitude, still
struggling on, animated with the hope of
reaching Oregon in time to defend ii,
with his single troop Of mounted riAemen,
against the savage holdes, whose num-
bers have cut off many Of the best clti-
zens Of the land.
Such is the man that Prentice, Of the
Louisville Journal, demands shall be re-
moved from office-such is the victim
who is the first marked for the guillotine
by the leaders of a party that professed
to prescribe prescription. Let them do
the deed--let the gallant soldier be re-
called, and our Indiana friends will make
him governor Of a State instead of Ter
ritory; and that, too. by majority that
will make whiggery tremb.e.- Ohio

EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.-There fell un
der our observation lately, says the King
ston (Ulsler county, N. W Journal, the
most singular case of disease we ever
witnessed. The subject is man named
Snyder, aged 35 years, residing in the
town of Warwarsing, in this county,
Four months ago he had an attack Of sick
ness, but recovered, and to all appearance
was entirely healed. About fortnight
after his recovery, he was seized with
drowsiness, and for some time after, slept
nearly two'thirds Of the day. This dis
ease continued to increase until he would
sleep two or three days without waking.
When we saw him yesterday, he was con-
tlnuing an uninterrupted sleep Of days.
His pulse is regular, though not very full ;
his respiration is easy and natural, and
his skin moist and cool. If food or drink
be placed in his mouth, he swallows it,
and he walks when led by the hand and
slightly supported On Thursday week
he awoke from sleep Of two days, spoke
lew words, struck lady who was in
tho room violently with chair, and al.
most Immediately afterwards sunk into
his present slumber. He is on his way
10 the New York Hospital.

=
The Commissioners appointed to revise
the statutes Of this State, have submitted
report to me, which is here transmitted.
Ihe suit relative TO the boundary line
between this State ard Missouri, has. I
understand, been taken to the Supreme
Court OF the United States, where it will
PROBABLY be heard and decided during the
present winter.
During the interval between the nd
Joufnmcnt OF The first General Assembly
under the Constitution, and the openins
OF me special session, all Of the Judges Of
the Supreme Court Of this State, who
he'd their offices by virtue Of appointment
under the General Government. rendered
their designations to me. The eighth
section Of the fifth article Of the const;t,,-
ton provides that "whcn any office shall.
from any cause, become vacant, and no
mode is provided by the constitution and
laws for filling such vacancy, the govern
or shall have power to fill such vacancy,
oy granting commissions, which shall ex-
pre- at the end Of the next session of the
General Assembly, or at the next cleo
ton by the people, | accordingly filled
the vacancies in the Supreme Court by
issuing commissions, which, in nv iudr
ment, expired at the close oc the special
session. As the General Assembly me-
elected to elect Judges during that ses-
sion, at lis close, | issued commissions to
me gentlemen now filling the offices of
Chlei Justice and Associate Justices ofthe
Supreme Court. Those commissions will
expire at the close Of the present session,
and It will be your duty to elect Judges of
the supreme Court in compliance with
The Constitution and laws.
1t will also be your duty to elect two
United States Senators. Two sessions of
the General Assembly have been held
since our State organization, during
which the election of United States Sena-
tors, and Judges Of our Supreme Court,
were duties enjoined upon it by the Con-
stltution. Unfortunately for the State,
those duties have not yet been performed.
Ii this result arose from difficulties which
presented themselves, and which men,
bers ielt unable to surmount without fur
Their consultation with their constituents,
feel confident, that, as you are fresh from
the people, you have received such in
structions from them, as will enable you
to discharge these duties with prompti-
tude and harmony.
cannot refrain from again impressing
upon your minds the propriety of spec
dy and energetic discharge of your vari-
Gus duties; that accuracy and dispatch
should characterize all of your proceed
'ngs; that no matters foreign to the in
terosts Of the State should be introduced
into your deliberations; and may we all
so perform our duties as to receive the
appreciation of the people, Of our own con-
sciences, and the approving smiles Of
Heaven.

na'ance on Oct. olst, l64o, 81 1894 AZ
1t will be perceived by the foreg Ding
statement, that on the 3lst Of October,
l848, there was balance in the treasu
ny OF one thousand three hundred and
ninety-four dollars and forty cents.
There is no object for the promotion of
which an enlightened legislator will more
readily apply his best energies, than that
Of education. 1t is generally conceded
that our present school law is, in MANY
respects, exceedingly defective. One OF
the prominent purposes for which the
Gene raj Assembly was convened in ex-
ira session in January last, was the a.
mendment Of this law, or the substitution
of different one Numerous petitions
were presented to the Legislature, in
which the solcitude Of the people in ref
erence to this subject, could not have
been mistaken. The law, however, wa,
not amended, and neither was new one
enacted. 1t is to be regretted that the
earnest wishes Of the people in this par
ticular, should have been thus frustrated.
In inviting your attention to this sub
ject, would respectfully suggest that
there are one or two points, connected
with it, upon which your immediate &C.
ton would be Of essential service to the
cause of education throughout the State.
The second section OF the tenth article
of the constitution makes appropriations
for perpetual State school fund, the in
terest of which alone shall! be applied to
the support Of common schools. By the
school law Of 1847, all the moneys con.
shutting this perpetual fund flow into
the hands Of the School Fnnd Commits
sioners. The fourth section of tho fore.
going article Of the constitution, provides
tibet ",he money which shall be paid by
persons as an equivalent for exemption
from military duty, and the clear pro.
ceeds of all fines collected in the seve raj
counties for any breach of the penal laws
shall be exclusively applied, in the sew
eral counties in which such money is
paid or fine collected, among the seve raj
school districts Of said counties, in the
proportion to the number of inhabitants
in such districts, to the support Of com
mon schools, or the establishment of Ii
braries, as the General Assembly shall
from time to time provide by law" Il
would seem clear that it is not the inten.
ton of the constitution that the interes
Of the funds accruing under this section
should be applied to the support Of com
mon schools in the several counties, Blu,
that the principle itself should be thus an
piled; and il would also seem clear thai

ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE MALAYs.-Re-
cert accounts from Singapore states that
two Dutch vessels Of war had attacked
the town of Lulu, and burnt portion of
the place. They destroyed the street of
the merchant named Sacsajan, inhabited
by Chinese, his tenants, and which con-
tanned property Of great value, which
was reduced to ashes, with the houses Of
the Cots and those Of the Englishman,
William Wyndham, and of the Dattas
Bandahara and Mari Badol. By these
operations, three Chinese and eight Moors
were killed, twenty-five wounded, and six
taken prisoners by the boats in the mat
houses. The refusal Of the Malays to
give up some captives claimed as subjects
Of: Holland, was the cause Of this attack.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Gentlemen Of the Senate and


House Of Representatives
You have assembled as a coordinate
branch OF the govurnment, for the pur-
pose OF performing the duties imposed
upon you by the Constitution Of the State.
1t IS source Of qualification and pride
that we compose one Of the States Of this
great confederacy, and that we live in a
country, the government Of which is su-
perlor 10 any that has ever been formed
by the wit Of man. Republics possessing
some OF the feathers Of our own, have a.
risen and passed away. For nearly three
quarters of Il century our own country
has prospered in an unprecedented man.
ner; she has stood mistaken amidst in
ternal connections, wars Of invasion, and
foreign war; and our citizens are, at
the present time, equal, if not superior to
any upon the face ofthe earth, in all that
can ennoble and dignity mankind. But
our own sagacity has not produced these
great and happy results. The eye of
Almighty God has watched over US; His
arm has been stretched out to protect and
assist US; and our deepest gratitude at all
times IS poor, but it may possibly be
an acceptable offering to Him for the ma
ny and great favors which He has be-
slowed upon US. Being thus favored of
Heaven, every citizen is under the most
solemn obligations to preserve unimpair-
ed our Union and our institutions. Eve
ny State exerts an influence. We have
lately entered the confederacy, and it
should be our great desire to labor earn
estly and faithfully to promote the happi-
ness Of the people of our own State, while
at the same time We should be equally
solicit Gus touching the prosperity and no.
nor OF our common country
You, lellow-citizens, are the represent
:atives of the people Of this State. You
are fresh from their midst, and understand
their wishes and interests 1t will un-
doubleday be prominen, consideration
that we are their servants; that they ex-
pect US to perform our duties with dignity
and energy; and especially may they
reasonably expect that all legislative bu-
slness will be despatched as speedily as
possible, consistent with accuracy and
Proprle'y, in order that they may not be
harrassed with unnecessary burdens.
lfthe matters which shall fcebIy and
mperfeclly present for your considera-
lion, fail short Of what the people expect
At your hands, or if they in any way con
1'ct with their best interests, it is the
hope Of the executive that you
will, by your superior wisdom and &C.
luaintance with their wants, supply the
proper remedy.

FIRE!t

ov the MeSsrs. Smiths and others, q
stores, Offices, &c.
Sometime after midnight, the light wa
discovered by some one residing near tn
building, and upon the alarm being giver
1t was found that the flames had mad
considerable progress upon the stair cas-
leading from the second story, and upo1
the partitions separating the Office of Lo
veil and Samuels from the passage.
Much exerton was required on thu
part Of the citizens to arrest the flames
and at one time it was thought the whole
block would be inevitably destroyed.
F. C. & f. II. Smiths Store was If
imminent danger, as the fire was raging
Immediately above it. Their goods were
all removed TO the opposite side of the
street, and sustained thereby no inconsid
cradle damage.
The Books and Papers belonging te
Lowell & Samuels were very much inju
red by the effects Of the fire, though for
tunatey none Of any great value were &C
tually destroyed.
The rooms occupied as the Express OF
fee, adjoining the passage where the fire
first started, sustained but slight damage.
The door leading 10 our office, (Which was
the only combustable material in that par
tilion,) was burned down, and the small
stock Of paper we had on hand was de-
stroycd. Our books: which were in the
office Of Lowell & Samue!s, shared the
same fate as theirs.
When the fire had been arrested be-
low, 1t was found to be making its way
along the roof, over the Express office,
and but for the metal covering Of the
building, which kept out the air, would
in all probability have broken out alresh
and bid defiance to all exertions to arrect
it.
Mr.. Benson has sustained loss of some
four or five hundred dollars, which was
covered by insurance, as were also the
goods of The Messrs Smiths.
That the building was set on fire, no
one can entertaina doubt; and that the in
cendiary is still endeavoring to accom-
plish his fcndish purpose, is likewise GER
lain. On Sunday night last an attempt
was made to fire the new building now in
process Of erection by Mr.. Langw orthy.
on Main-slree,.
Is it not time we were doing something
% render property more secure in this
city? Not only are we without the prop
II means for the extinguishment of fires,
9at VIC are harboring in our midst the fiend
WHO is bent upon the destruction of the
own.
1t is the opinion Of some, that a certain
drunken vagabond, well known in the ci
=, is the cause Of the mischief, and that
t is done, not from any evil intent, but
merely 10 keep himself from freezing to
leath after being turned from the groce-
lies a! highland that in his besotted con-
lltlon, he knows no better.
If this be the case, why is he not taken
care of? Is he any less dangerous than
he fiend who is bent upon mischief? Ger
ainly not; and there is, or should be, au-
thority somewhere, to arrest him, make
inquiry into his guilt, or innocence, and
If innocent, provide for him comfortable
and safe quarters.
