New JERSEY LEG1sLATURE.-The New
Jersey Legislature met at Trenton on
Tuesday. The Senate was organized
by the appointment of Silas d. Garfield
OF Passaic county, as President. The
president and sergeant-at-arms are loco
focos; the secretary and engrossing clerk
are wings. The House selected officers
all locofocos; Speaker, John H. Philips,
of Mercer. Governor Haines sent in his
message. The finances are prosperous,
education is on the advance, and like to
receive additional aid, ameliorations of
the social condition of the citizens are
contemplated. There is balance in
the treasury of 5000, and State fund
of $933,S4S, the income of which will
Justify an appropriation of 10000 for
schools. No tax is now levied for State
purposes.
He recommends the repeal of acts
making property qualification requisite
to the holding of any office. An exemp-
ton Of property from execution and dis
tress sufficient to save debtor and his
family from perjury and want, is recon-
mcnded.
The governor believes that New Jer-
ey will firmly stand by and maintain
she compromise measures of the last ses-
SION of Congre SIS, regarding them as wise,
patriotic, and essential to the Union,
prosperity, peace and progress of the con-
tederacy.

RUMoRED RESURRECTION AT LEx1NG.
TON, IA letter from the Virginia
Military Institute represents the whole
OF that section of the State as being in
fearful state of excitement, because of a
report that an instruction movement
was on foot. 1t results from the fact
that letter was found, supposed to be
written by colored gentleman of the
pulpit, noted for his rascality, which
contained complete plan of their in
tentions. Six hundred are the number
said to be concerned. An attack was to
be made on the Institute, where prepa-
rations had already been made to well
come them. The gentleman writing
from Lexington seems to think that even
should it prove true they would soon
conquer them.-PortSmouth Pilot.
