The Messages.

To politicians, no apology for engross-
ing SO very large a portion of our COL
umns with the valedicioly of the depart
ing, and the inaugural of the Governor
elect, will be necessary. But we must
beg OF our general readers to bear with
US in this instance, as well as to pardon
US for the infection Of the Presidents
electioneer.ng len column message, two
weeks since. We hope to make no such
demands upon their patience in future,
for we do not believe that two messages
ever proceeded from the heads of ma
tional and state governments possessing
as little interest to the general reader,
and rejecting as Little credit upon the
men from whom they emaLated. We
hope never to see The like again. The
inaugural of Gov. Chase belongs to an
other class of documents, and is worthy
Of the man, and the Office.

Kansas Observation-Disclosures Press
thrown into the River.

We, on yesterday, had access to a re-
liable private communication, dated at
Leavenworth on the the morning of Dec.
28ih, from which We learn the exciting
news that, on Saturday the ED, the Of
fee of the Territorial Register at LeaTen.
worth City was entered by a mob and
the press and types taken out, conveyed
to the river, and thrown beneath the
water. Mr.. D~ellahay. the editor was
absent at the time. and there was no re-
s~istance offered to the progress of the n
oters.
After having drowned the press. they
returned to the Office, and burned a lot
Of paper which had been supplied for
the printing of the Register. They then
dispersed, and shortly afterwards enga.
ged in fighting and rowdying around the
Empire House, and other Of the princi-
pal drinking saloons of Leayenworth.-
The whole affair was Of a most unlawful
and ~disgraceful character.
1t is stated that the mob was composed
principally Of Missourians.
The sole cause of the riotous proceed
ings was hat Mr.. Dellahay had made
himself obnoxious by takings bold stand
and denouucing the interference Of Mis-
sourians in the affairs of Kansas.-S.

that after that week the company would

was given him. He then asked why he
was TO be removed. After pressing the
question some time, and failing to obtain
a satisfactory explanation. a little light

New Scheme.

Among the memorials presented to
the U. 5. Senate, as we learn from the
National LteIIigsncer, was one from Johr
A. Raglan, setting forth that he discoy.
cred a plan to prevent the Overlooking Of
the Mississippi river and to reclaim in.
undated lands. and asking a grant o.
every alternate section he may so re.
claim, in order 10 en- able him to carry
his plan in to execution. The memorial.
ist declares his plan entirely practicable
and comparatively cheap. and says i
can be completed in three years.
The memorialist proposes to turn the
superfuous waters of the Mississi; ri
river into Hudson's Bay and the Allan
tic ocean through a canal of one mile to
the head of the great Assinibcin river,
in Minnesota Territory. which canal, he
asserts, will open steam navigation from
the Atlantic almost to the S u Invest
Pass of the Rocky Mountains and from
Hudson's Bay 10 New Orleans. He al>o
proposes, by authority from Texas. to
turn the supeifiuous waters of Red river
into the Gulf of Mexico through very
short canals to the heads of the Sabine
and Trinity rivers. which canals, he
says, will open steam navigation from
the Gull of Mexico to the gold regions Of
Santa Fee.
1t was referred to the appropriate

A CAPITAL HIT-Mr. Galloway of
Ohio made a capital hit on Saturday,
9Th. which brought down the House :
He was demonstrating that Freedom
constituted in this country the only true
and vital distinction Of hat National
ity," which had been so harped upon,
and illustrated this view by reciting the
preamble to the Constitution, which de-
clares the object of the Union. to : Sc
cure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves
and our pos.erity." DIR. Marshall Of
Kentucky, interrupted him by inquiring
il ''niggers' were included in this pos
teriiy +? Yes" retorted Mr.. Galloway
quickly, perhaps in yours, but not in
ours" The point was made with won-
derful effect of manner and flashed
through the hall and galleries with cleo
trio rapidity. The Southern Medicus
will hardly repeat the experiment in a
hurry of running a tilt against Sam Gal
loway.

The Opera.

We never before witnessed SO universal a
display of enthusiasm in Washington thea
tire as last night attended Louisa Pyne's i'm
personation of Lucy Ashton, Mr.. Harrison's
Edgar Ravenswood, and Mr.. Guillmette' S
Henry Ashton, in Lucia de Lammermoor'
The house was crowded; being the BEST so far,
of the season. As performed, the opera took
the audience by storm. The principal per-
formers were not only vOciferOusly applauded
after their every effort, but were called out at
the end Of every act.
We have heard this opera, in Italian and
English, performed by every opera company
that has been in this country in tho last ten
years, and never before heard it so we'll per-
formed. From the opening scene to the fall
ing of the curtain it was faultlessly and most
brilliantly acted and sung, as was testified by
the delighted public of Washington. Jenny
Lind herself created no such real Etrore here
as Louisa Pyne, Harrison and Guillmette gen.
Grated last night. We know not who prepared
the score for Mr.. Harrison's English version !;
but il has been better done than we conceived
to be possible. Whoever tho arranger may
have been, Mr.. Ii. could not do a wiser thing
than to place in his hands for revision the ORR
ginal Of every opera represented By his &C.
complished troupe.
Tonight, for Louisa Pyne's benefit, they
perform the Child of the Regiment, by par
ticular request, that having been the opera
In which Miss P. FIRST won great professional
fame. The occasion il for her benef. Its

form next in Baltimore. Our hope is thai
they may be induced to return TO Washington
from thence, ere commencing the winter sea
son at Niblo's, New York, for which they are
said TO be engaged We heard such hope,
expressed by many last night Indeed, the
wish was evidently universal throughout the
house.
noteworthy circumstances attending las
nights representation of the poetic, pathetic
graceful and rich music Of Lucia, was the re
markable appreciation Of its beauties by tn,
audience, than which no other on this eide O.
the Atlantic can be more capable Of compre
hendiug the beauties Of the science of music
for the divine art has indeed become science
We venture to say that a second representa-
tion Of the same opera by this accomplished
troupe will draw together in Washington a,
audience twice as large in proportion to popu
lation, as ever yet attended the performance o
music in the United States. Let Us have Do,
Pasquale, Ar. Harrison, also, on your return
and II Barbiere, re-arranged from the origins
italian by the masterly arranger who pre-
pared Lucia so admirably for the style and
strength Of your company.
