knife.
There were several white persons in the mob,
but they did not appear to act in the rescue:
The rescue, ofcourse, caused great excitement
throughout the city, as one of the most daring
outraSes upon law and order ever enacted. 1t

case in Cincinnati, of which we have had no
tice by telegraph, was settled most declslvely

ESCouRAG1SG FROM FLoRIDA.-The Flori-
da Sentinel, alluding to the apathy displayed
by the Legislature Of that State on the Southern
question, states 'sthat the majority of tue late
General Assembly, after having assumed to
charge the Governor and his friends with mis-.
representing the opinions of the people OF this
State upon sectional questions, have purposely
evaded all expression of their own Judgment
when they had ample opportunity. Nine.tenths,
say ninety nine one hundredths of the people
said they are in favor of the Nashville Conven-
ton, but when the Nashville Convention lays
before them the result Of its deliberation, it is
unnoticed. The people are overwhelmingly in
favor of secession, but their representatives give
it the go-by.
After speaking Of the difficulties we had to
encounter before our admission into the Union,
the Governor details the Indian troubles OIL our
frontier. His Excellency thinks that the Indian
difficulties have been brought about by the fail
ure Of the General Government to make trea-
ties with the tribes for their lands.
Our relations to the negro race come in after
the Indians have been considered. The mes.
sage recommends the passage of law exclu-
ding negroes from the State, OH the ground that
they are excluded from all civil rights by the
constitution, and that none but the worthless
will accept a residence in California on such
terms

The New York correspondent Of the Phila.
delphia Inquirer, says:
There is good deal of excitement in Harlem
in consequence of two gentlemen and two la.
dies being married without their knowing it.
The ceremony was performed in sport, and
when informed the next day that the marriage
was legal according to law, there was great
CONSERVATION. The brides, | learn are willing
to abide by the marriages, but the bridegrooms
are not, and refuse to recognise the ceremony
at all. The subject will be brought before our
Courts or before the Legislature.
