REMARKABLE MARRIAGEs.-Ot the many Chlna-

THURSDAY, OCTOBER, 8, 1857.


Inc pressure upon our columns prevented
US from laying before the readers of the
PATRIOT yesterday the message of Gov.
JOHNSON, communicated to the Legislature
Tuesday. We make brief synopsis of it
this morning expecting to publish it at
length in the form of supplement.
In the commencement the Governor calls
the attention of the Legislature to the ac-
tual Indebtedness of the safe, which is
stated to be $4,I9O,856 sc, on account of
Internal Improvement Bonds, Union Bank
Bonds, Bank of Tennessee, State Capitol
Bonds, and the purchase of the Hermitage.
The stocks owned by the State in Banks,
Internal improvement Companies, &C., a
mount to So, 1872, 716 66. These stocks
when reduced to their market or estimated
value will amount to $2,444.827. This
would leave the actual liabilities OF the
State 81, O47, O79 66 in excess of its cash
assets. In this connection the Governor
remarks
| 1t is the opinion of some correct thinking and
! malicious persons es well az my own that il would
be sound policy and economy to dispose of all the
stock owned by the st te, in Banks aud Internal
| Improvement Companies, or otherwise, as soon as
it can be done on advantageous terms, and apply
the proceeds of the sale Of the same the reduc-
ton OF tie actual Indebtedness of the State, aud
for the State as soon practicable to become cd
trely disconnected with all corporations whatever
either as partner or gtockboder. The six per cent.
/ which would be saved upon the Bobds, will amount
TO more than all the dividends which will be paid
-, To-, - cd hNf he "a
The following tabular statement will show the
amount of stocks owned by the State, in Banks,
Internal improvement Companies, etc, iLs original
cost and it's estimated value at the present time.

Its also recommended that law be pass
ed prohibiting the circulation of bank notes
of less denomination than five dollars,
the law of the last session failing to effect
the object gifts enactment.
Attention is again called to the subject
of uniformity of weights and measures
throughout the State, and a statement
made of what has been done by the Gov
ernor and Superintendent in compliance
with law, and it is recommended that law
be passed to fix definitely and intelligibly
what is the standard of weights and meas
ures and to annex penalties for violating it.
The tax on merchants is referred to and
a reduction again recommended.
Our system of public roads is reviewed,
and modification recommended.
The subject of law reform is again pressed
upon the adoption of the Legislature, and
the announcement is made of the compile
ton of Meigs & Cooper's Digest of the
laws of the State
Reference is made to the operations of
the Agricultural Bureau, and a recommen-
dation made to assist the Mechanics In
stitute.
1t is stated that the Hermitage has been
purchased, in compliance with the act of
the last session, and rendered to the Gen
eraI Government; and in case the tender
is not accepted, the Governor recommends
that the property be retained as residence
for the future Governors of the State.
In reference to the State Capitol, the
message says it has already cost 81, 2O4,-
O72 ID, and is yet unfinished. The hope is
expressed that the Legislature will adopt
some means by which its completion will be
brought about at an early day. 1t is
added
would suggest the propriety of adding TO the
present Board of uiliDg Commissioners, the Sec
rotary of State, Treasurer and Comptroller. These
officers in most instances from different portions
of the State and would feel themselves responsible
TO the people of the State for the manner in which
they discharge their duty; and Furthermore, their
Offices all in the Capitol convenient to the work
now being performed, aud also for consultation in
reference to the best mode of having it done, and
as to the most vigorous means in its prosecution.

Rnise More Food.

The New York Popt gives some "advice to the
tiIlers Of the soil" from which we take the follow
ing sensible and timely remarks
The revolt in India is the harbinger Of famine;
one hundred and eighty millions of human
will need large supplies OF food from the pro-
ducts OF other regions. The army of India, the
transport feet for that army and its supplies, the
necessities growing out OF the disturbed state of
that great English dependency, will call for much
of our surplus beef pork and -four. The two last
articles the product OF every year. but beef re-
quires years of uourshment before it is ready for
use. The wicked wanton waste of breeding pow
err, which is the besettiug sin of American farmers
ought to be checked. Every farmer ought to be
required 10 give account of himself who kills a
female calf We ought TO preserve every "cow
cal" for FIVE yerrs to come. By this meth ID
might soon have supply OF beef, not only for our
selves but for any emer gency abroad.

A KEG OF SPecIE DUG UP.-The Oswego
On. Y J Times of the 28th ulT., tells the following
story: Two men named, respectively, Ward
and Hall, were at work down the lake shore,
some miles from this city, getting out hoop
stuff, when they discovered small key bur~
ried in the sand. This they dug out, and open
ing it, found it contained sixteen hundred SLIDER
7iecesl The coins were of an ancient French
cast and of the denomination of seven franc
pieces, valued st 81 90 each The two men
with their treasure have left for Philadelphia,
where they intend to exchange their coin at
the mint It is probable that the money was
secreted in the place where it was discovered
by some French officer during the old French
wsr, and afterwards the officer may have been
killed, leaving no trace where the treasure
was concealed.

HABITS IN THE PULPIT "A correspondent of
the Christian Reflector is holding up afew pictures
true to life, for the notice of such of his clerical
friends as may have need of them, hoping the re-
fection will do no harm. He says:
notice in some cases handk rchef habit in the
pulpit which has led us to inquire if the of that
very necessary article is part of theological train
ing. l notice some ministers take it out of their
pockets, they do their sermon, and lay it on the
pulpit Some spread it out lengthwise through
the middle Of the Bible; some roll ituP, and tuck
it under the Bible; some shake it every few mo-
ments over their heads; some cleDch it in their
hand, if they going to throw it at the audi
ence; and some keep crowdng it into their pockets
and pulling it out again, with a nervous movement,
as if they did not know what other use to make OF
their hands. I went once to hear a popukr young
preacher, and as much as half his sermon was made
up of pocket handkerchief; aud the most OF the
other half was gold tch and scraps OF poetry.

H- A correspondence has taken place be-
tween our Government and that of England,
concerning possessions Of the Hudson's Bay
Company south of the forty ninth parallel Of
latitude, and within the Territories of Wash
ington and Oregon. By the treaty of 1916,
the right of sovereignty over this Territory
was declared to be in the United States.
The Hudson's Bay Company assert that their
rights of property are the same as before.
Servants Of the Company have put in claims
to portions of this lard under grants to settlers
made by our Government. The controversy
must be settled by negotiations with the Eng
] ish Government.

The Doctrine of Attraction.

The poet Lowell, in his preface the new ''blue-
aud-soid' edition Of Shelley, thus deicately shat
ters this atrocious heresy:
"However the brain may PHILOSOPHERS, the heart
remains loyal TO its traditions, aud although Mrs
Shelley may have been captiVated with the doc
trine of attractions while il drew her husband 20
her, she was not prepared for the more liberal ap.
plica'iOn Of it which drew him away. No theo-
rzing Gu swerten desertou; aud the unhappy
NomaR disenchanted Of the dream aud forsakrn
by the substance, sought shelter in death.
The lovers OF Shelley, man and a poet
have done what they coui % palate his conduct
IN this matter. But question OF morals, Is be-
tween man and society, cannot be reduced TO
any individual standard, however exalted-our par
tialty for the man only heightens our detestation
