ed aud all we can do this morning is
to give brief synopsis, that our run
ming readers may gather the sub
stance. The message opens with al
fusion to the late terrific epidemic,
from which the State has just been de-
livered. And the Governor, whilst
referring to the deeds of charity and
benevolence Of our own citizens dur
ing that dreadful period pays q
merited tribute to the generosity of
Sister States, who SO generously came
forward in the heat Of Battle, to aid
us, in alternating the misery and heart
rending distress of our friends and
fellow citizens. As the Governor very
eloguently remarks when the cpl
demic visited 1s, the citizens Of our
Sister-States, with open hands and
sympathizing hearts, fastened to our
assistance, and cheerfllly assumed
large share of our burdens It is my
pleasing duty, as the Executive of the
State, to acknowledge with heartfelt
these tokens of fraternal
and affection, which have
our country to the world, not
only as a nation Of sovereign States,
united by frail paper compacts, but as
a great patriarchal family---a nation of
brothers and kindred.
The Governor speaks Of railroads
now being built within the borders, of
tho State, and entertains the opinion
that the time must eventually come
wien every part Of the State will be
connected with the Great Emporium,
"and the most distant villages on our
frontiers, will be as suburbs of New
Orleans

ing population of New Orleans, and
thinks tina, "the circumstances which
attend extensive agglomerations Of
human beings, must, have some agency
either in producing diseases, or in
