GEN. TAYLoR's REsIGNATIoN.-A con-
temporary was in error, in saying that Gen
Taylor had forwarded his resignation to the
War Department. Gen. Taylor is actively
engaged in arranging and settling up every
thing connected with his forty years service
in the army, which he wishes and intends, shall
be finally closed previous to his assuming his
new and more responsible duties. When this
is accomplished, and the arrangements COM
pleted, for the transfer of his command, be

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

Monday, the 4th inst, was the day appoint
ed by law, in Ohio, for the meeting of the
Legislature. Much confusion and disorder
were anticipated on the assembling Of that bo-
DIV, and the event has shown these antieipa-
tons to be quite well founded. Down to the
18th inst, no organization had been effected,
ard the scenes that had transpired during the
nine days previous, were OF an exciting and
unparalleled character. At eight o'clock, on
the morning of the 4th, two hours before the
regular time of meeting, the Locofocos rush
ed into the Representatives Hall, where Judge
Read, fit instrument, it seems, for furthering
their. illegal designs, WAS ready TO swear them
in very unceremoniously. The main object
of this movement was to secure seats to two
Representatives whose claims were manifestly
illegal, and on the admission or rejection Of
whom, the political ascendency in the House
would depend. These two members are from
Hamilton County, which includes the City of
Cincinnati. 1t seems that, during the last
session of the Legislature, this county was d.
vided into two Senatorial and Representative
Districts-the first entitled to one Senator and
two Representatives, the second to one Sena-
tor and three Representatives. The Wings,
in conformity with the law, ran separate tick
cts in the two Districts, electing their eandi-
dates in the First District. while they were in
a minority in the second. The Locofocos, bid
ding defiance to the law, ran but one ticket
for the whole county, and having majority
of all the votes in the county, declared their
fire Representa- tives elected.
The confusion through the day was indie
scribable. The Locofoco members, Ia Saw
yer, partook of their lunch in the Hall, kept
possession through the dinner hour,-and, not
being able to get possession of the keys of the
Hall, remained in their seats all night On
Tuesday, and Tuesday night, they did the
same. Fair terms of Compromise were pro-
posed to the Locofocos-to the effect that all
persons claiming seats from Hamilton County
should be excluded from the deliberations Of
the House, until after an organization and ar
examination of the respective claims. This
PROPOSITION was promptly rejected. After the
lapse of week, the disorder seems to have
been rather increased than abated, violent and
disorganizing measures had been proposed and
discussed by the LocofOco " rrmp;" the Wings
remained irm-and no prospect of an end 10
the difficulties was apparent.
In the Senate, Hon: Brewster Randall, Free
Soil Wing, from Ashtabula county, was, on the
10th ballot, elected Speaker, by vote of 10
to II. A Democratic clark was elected, on
the l21st ballot. Numerous ballotings were
had for Sergeant at Arms, without effeeting a
choice.
BY accounts from Columbus, VIC learn that
Locofoco Representative had proposed that,
in case no compromise was eficcted,thc people
should be invited to the Capital to form
Provisional Government. Much excitement
prevailed, and inilammatory speeches were
made.
There is every probability that nothing will
be done this winter.

NEW CANDIDATE--The last Middlebury

promise bill of Senator Phelps, of last session.
and winds up with recommending the said
Honorable Senator for the post Of Attorney
General in Gen. Taylor's Cabinet. Wilder
moves than this are often made.-G. ~ Free
man.
The Freeman does not state the matter ve-
ry correctly. We said word in defence of
Senator Phelps, from imputatons that we re-
garded as unjust-and we expressed, too, our
opinion that the Compromise bill had beer
H1isrepreseraed. This was the e1 tent Of our
defence of the Compromise bill ,; and so far
from. winding up as the Freeman states, we
did not, in any part of the article in question,
make the remotest allusion to the Attorney
Generalship.

GOLD GOLD Companies have been
formed in Boston, New York, Troy, Baltimore,

on the mountains and in the rivers of Califor-
MIA. Two or three vessels in New York are
about setting sail with provisions to feed the
gold diggcrs, and in Baltimore no less Than
four ships are loading, for the same destina-
ton. From. present indications, that country
is to be rapidly filled up with emigrants, and
will be the land of promise and the theatre Of
adventure, for considerable time to come
The accounts seem to be well authenticated,
having been fully confirmed, in all the impor-

eminent at Washington. The substance Of
these reports is embodied IN the Presidents
Message More minute details will be found in
