Bath which recently got sshore at Lewbe,us
was robbed of her whole cargo and equip.
ments by the piratical wreckers from Mas

Vetus for assistance. The robbery was
committed with the connivance of the mate
and crew Of the Tribune who were left in
charge Of the brig and who had gone !otf
with the pirates.

Massage Of Gov. Cumming, Of Nebraska.

The message Of Acting Gov Cumming to
the Territorial Legislature of Nebraska, Was
delivered on January>lsth. In eommsncip e
it. the Governor regrs;s the non arrival OF
Gov Burt successor, as he 10 unwilling and
unable to point out the policy of another;
therefore he limits himself to Q few recon-.
mendations OF . general character.
He speaks Of the firm and judicious conduct
of Gov Burt, and Of his efficiency, in high
terms, and regrets his death. He calls atten.
ton to the Pacific Railroad scheme, and rec
ommends that Congress be pstitiousd, through
their delegate, to have the road constructed up
the valley of the Platte, giving his reasons
why that route should be preferred. But in
view of the sectional conflict with which the
subject is surrounded, he suggests that the
memorial should principally ask for q tele.
graphic and letter mail communication with
the Pacif,, and that the emigrant route and
new settlements be protected from the Indians
by the same plan so strongly urged by Soma.
tor Gwin during the last session Of Congress,
viz, q weekly express mail and proper pro-
lection for it. He says: ~ ESQ.,. 20.
"In the enactment Of Code of Laws, aud
the establishment of public Institutions, you
have the benefit of an ample fund Of expert
ence treasured by neighboring Stateo which
have passed through the same ordeal. It is
believed that by a comparison of the statu
tory provisions, and with the cooperation of
practice may be framed, sufficiently symmet-
ricsl and complete, to need but little material
modification by future asse mblies."
81 would also suggest, in this connection,
that specimens of every species of mineral,
found on the premises Of any citissn, mot ex.
cepting Lime Rock. Sand. stone, Slate, Gyp-
sum, and the products of metalliferous veins J
shall be sent, carefully described. to the exec
utive office, to be deposited in q territorial
cabinet, which will be of material advantage
in effecting just conception and proper do
velopment of our mineral wealth"
In regard to Indians, he fears that they may
prove troublesome during the sp, ing, and
therefore recommends that volunteers be
called out.
He concludes bis message by speaking Of the
fierce contest which preceded the 70. nation of
tho Territory, and Of the breaking down of
geographical lines between the North and the
South in thus constituting Territory, whose
citizens have relatives in every State, and then
recommends that no sectional controversy be
introduced to their assemblies, thus marin z
the harmony with which they had 30 happily
commenced.
The message is characterized by firm, con.
idsnt tone, and is well worthy preservation
with archives of the new Territory.
