TRUMAN SMITH.--This gentleman,
who has so ably represented Connecti-
cut in the U. S. Senate, and whose re-
cent course on the Nebraska question
has been so emphatically endorsed by
that State, publishes in the National In
telligencer. the following address to his
constituents, resigning his post:
To THE People OF CosEEcrIcUr.-I
respectfully announce to you that have
resigned my seat as your Representa-
tive in the Senate of the United States,
TO take effect from and after Monday,
the Gath day of May next. I am i'm
PEELED to take this step by the urgency
of my private affairs, which have been
too long neglected by reason of my en-
gagements here. find myself under
the necessity of being absent several
weeks during the present session of Con-
gress, and it does not consist with my
sense of right to hold a place of so
much responsibility when am unable
to discharge its duties; but am willing
it should be understood that do not
dissolve relation the honor of which
/ shall cherish to my dying breath,
without a pang. 1 am however, but
anticipating, as every man, however
exalted his station may be, must, sooner
or later, sink into the constituent body.
l therefore cheerfully embrace now the
inevitable lot of all, and, returning into
the midst of the people, l shall continue
to sympathize with them in resisting
what wise and good men regard as evil,
and in promoting all that is best adapted
to ensure the success of our free institu-
tions and the prosperity and happiness
of the American people.
1 cannot take leave of you without
profering to you, one and all, without
distinction of name or party, my pro-
found acknowledgements for the many
distinguished expressions of confidence
which have received at yonr hands,
Few public men have been treated with
more indulgence than / have been by
you, my generous constituents and few
have been so long and so uniformly sus-
tanned. deeply lament that my abili-
ty to serve you has been so inconsidera-
bic, though not concious of being want
ing in anxiety for the public welfare, or
in desire to uphold the honor of our
ancient Commonwealth. l therefore
hand over the trust which you have
confded to me to some one of the many
highly qualified citizens of our State
whom the General Assembly may be
pleased to designate as my successor,
and bid you adieu with emotion of graf
itude such as my pen is inadequate to
record. TRUMAN SMITH.

Wednesday,, 12M-SESArE.-Bill to
regulate the fees of justices of the peace
and coHstables, was passed. Itincreases
their fees in certain cases.
Bill allowing the County Commission
ers to fill the vacancy in the Office oi
County Treasurer, in case of resignation
or from other causes, passed.
The Senate then spent some time in
the Committee of the Whole, after
which they adjourned.
HousE.-The tax bill being under
consideration, Mr.. Langdon proposed an
amendment, the effect of which was to
place Brokers and Stock jobbers on the
same footing with banks SO far as listing
their property for taxation is concerned,
The amendment was adopted.
An amendment was adopted, giving
Prosecuting Attorneys 10 per cent. on
a penalty of from s1OO to $1,000, to be
collected from those who shoul1 put
their property out of their hands for the
purpose of evading their taxation.
Mr.. Mccain moved to amend by
adding to a section, providing that
growing crops in the ground, shall be
exempt from taxation.
Mr.. Gest and others contended that
such an exemption would be unconstitu-
tional. Growing crops were personally,
liable to levy and sale as such, and were
not in the list of enumerated articles
The Legislature had no right to make
any such exemption, and if made it
would be unconstitutional and void
The amendmentwas Lost-38 to SO. So
growing crops are to be taxed as other
On motion of Judge Pruden, the
House struck out the clause, requiring
the auditors to omit all returns where
the entire tax upon them would not
amount to tpenty:tfUe cents. It was
done on the ground that the House had

AsHLAND.--The Ironton Register says:
This is the name of new town-great
in the future-which is being laid out in
Greenup county, KY, some three and a
half miles above Ironton. The compa-
ny founding the town was recently char
tered by the Kentucky Legislature under
the style of THE KENTUCKY IRON, Coal
AND MANUFACTURING COMPANY. Sub
scriptions to the capital stock have
already been made to the amount of
S4OO, 900, and land has already been
purchased to the amount of 1000 acres,
consisting of about 1000 acres of river
bottom for the town site, and about
200 acres of coal land. -.
1t is understood that $4,000 of
the capital stock will be applied to the
construction of the Lexington and Big
Sandy Railroad, the route of which has
been changed so as to strike the Ohio
river at Ashland, running thence to the
mouth of Big Sandy where it will con-
meet with the Virginia Central Railroad;
and some $50 hands are already at
work on the line of the Railroad near
the new town. --.....

LUsos NAruRz.-We copy the foe-
lowing account of a wonderful produc-
ton Of nature from the Sacramento
{ {Califernis) Ussen;
Dropping iato the s.K street drug
store" yesterday, we observed DR.. Lo-
gan bus1y engaged in his office, max
ing a drawing Of the most monstrous
tGsas Rdtur9 we ever saw. IL was no
less than an abortive attempt on the
part Of Dame Nature to manufacture a
human being out Of hog. The ami
NAL had attained its complete fetal
growth, and was one of litter of well
and naturally formed pigs. The par
ticular one in question, however, is en-
tirely destitude of hair, while its skin is
white and smooth. The forehead and
head are full and round, and at about
tie same facial angle as that of the
Caucasian race. In lieu Of the nose,
a probocis, in exact miniature shape Of
an elephants, proceeds from shove and
between the eyes, and rests on the up
per lip. The eyes are large, round, and
full as a mans. The Pwer jaw and
chin project beyond the upper, and the
tongue protrudes a little beyond the
lips. The ears are fiattened, and laid
back against the side of the head. In
deed, the whole contour and figure Of
the head and face are those Of human
being, while the rest Of the strange ami
NAL partakes of the characteristic for
nation Of the porcine species. We un-
derstand that this phenomenon was OBJ
tanned by gentleman of this city from
one of the neighboring mining districts,
and that he intends sending it to Europe,
in order to give the savans there an op-
Portunity to speculate concerning its for
nation.

"Few articles of any kind, and certainly
none of its kind, ever acquired so rapid a cele-
from all sections of the country, and from all
classes Of people, as Lyons KathairOn for
Beautifying, Preserving and Restoring the

Nervous Headache and it speedily annihi-
lates Eruptive Diseases Of the Skin. We
would advise the ladies who pride themselves
upon their glossy ringlets, and all who are los

tainly can afford to, as il costs but 25 cents"

German Bitters, sold by DR.. @. NJ. jackson,
100 Arch street Philadelphia, spoken of in
terms Of the highest commendation, and we
honestly believe it is one of the best medi-
eines advertised for the complaints for which
it is recommended. They are pleasant to the
taste, and can be taken under any circumstan-
ees by the most delicate stomach. The press
far and wide, have united in commencing this
and such are the healing effects of this pana-
eea, that we hope it may be introduced into
every family where dyspepsia has, Or is likely
