Bill giving the Superior Court sole juris'
diction in case of Divorce, and charging
the number of causes for which divorces
may be granted.
Mr.. o. s. Seymour of the committee, res
marked that the bill was introduced after
due consideration, and some hesitation.
Trials for divorce are ju1icial-peculiarly
so-they were not legislative in their ma
ture. It was exceedingly expensive to try
them in the Legislature. These, and other
reasons, appeared to call for this bill.
Mr.. s NTH of Hartford, Mr.. Skinner, Mr..
Boardman, also favored the bill, but il was
laid on The table.
Mr.. Hoyt of DanbUry, called up the pc i.
liIion Of Hartford, for repeal of the Bridge
clause, in the charter OF the Air Line Rail
Road Company, and moved that it be made
the order Of the day on Tuesday next, at 10
o'clock. A. M. He said he did not make
this motion al the suggestion of either Of
the parties, hut TO avoid lengthy iIial up~
on subject well understood by the people
generally. He desired that the question Of
repeal should come directly before the Lea
was carried unanimously.

MADEMoIsELLE JAGELLA. This Hungarian young
lady is represented to have been present in several
engagements during the late instruction in her
country, and to have fought with much gallantry.
She proved herself great adept in eet-6ghting
and boasts of having slain fair number of Aus
trian soldiers. In appearance Mademoiselle ia
CELIA is far from repulsve, her features bearing a
pleasant but determined expression.
1t may be satisfactory for the reader to know that
this lady is now under engagement to be married to
young Hungarian officer Immediately on his arri-
val at New York; and it is of probable that in
the peaceful and active of domestic life in the
backwoods of America, her belligerent propensi-
ties will never again be put in requsition, unless
an attack from Indians should occasionally happen
tovary the monotony of her future career, in which
case, no doubt, Mademoiselle Jagella will, in de.
fence of her home and family, manage to give a
good account of the intruders.

H. Young, of Florida, gentleman of great business
capacities, shrewdness, and enterprise. So we go.
Columbus will be Georgia Lowell before long,
and some of these days will beat her. Lowell never
had, nor ever can have, the advantages with which
Columbus is endowed, by nature and position, for
manufacturing purposes. 1t is significant cir
cumstance that a member of large Philadelphia
house was here last week, soliciting consignments
of Columbus cotton fabrics for his firm in Phila-

INDIANA LEeIsLATURE.- Coz Dunning's Mes
sage.-This body met the Sd instant, and at
once organized. The message Of Gov Dunning
has been at any previous period He attributes this
to the National Revenue System" adopted by the
Congress Of 1916.
The Governor endorses fully frse-soil doctrines
with reference 10 the freedom Of new territory In
allusion TO conquest from Mexico, he says:
"Thc territory thus acquired has come TO us free.
The question is now presented TO the American
people, whether this territory shall remain free II
cannot be doubted but that the response Of the
pie OF Indiana TO this momentous question will be
in favor of freedom" Andsurther, saws Governor
Dunning, at is our imperative duty 10 assert our
rights as members Of the same great family, and
manfully resist, by all legal and constitutional
means, the future advancement of slavery into
territory belonging 10 the General Government &"
He clothes Congress with full power TO prevent il,
and declares that that power ought 10 be exertedl
As 10 the finances, the revenue paid into the State
treasury during the year amounted 20 SI3l, $50,
and the expenditures to 4,470. The taxable pro.
perty Of the State has increased SASS ,070 during
the year
OF the Sl1 O45 900 of State debt. the holders OF
1865, 900 have come into the arrangements made
in lS47 for paying the debt II is believed the hold
ers Of the balance will also come in for Indiana
VIII probably pay her debt in no other mode. The
semi annual interest Of S95. 800, due July st was
paid-of which $4,000 were borrowed from the
sinking fund and bank.
Governor Dunning makes proper Suggestions
with reference 20 carrying out the will of the peo-
pie in regard to new constitution-recommends
the enactment Of homestead exemption law-and
approves the granting of safe charters for the
struction Of plank roads. The schools, blind and
deaf and dumb asylums, referred 10 favorably.

THE MAILS AND TELEGRAPHs The snowfstorm
of Monday has somewhat intcrfered with the regu-
arity of the mails The Eastern mail, due here at
nine o'clock yesterday morning, did not reach us
until after nine at night. The Geographic lines in
many directions we're imperative yesterday, in
consequence of having suffered by the storm OF
Monday. The conductor of the Philadelphia rail
road train states that number of the poles on
Morse's line down, and that the train passed
over the Frustrated wires several times between
the two cities The line from Baltimore to York
suffered materially, the wires having been broken
in several places.
