Iudiana Leaislature---Extra session.

Gov. Willard has called the newly elected
Legislature together in extra session. Repub-
Tcans aud Anti-Lecompton Democrats were
elected officers in both branches. The Cover
nors message states the object of the called ses-
sion. 1t is TO do what the Democratic Legisla-
ture neglected to do, provide ways and means
to straighten out the embarrassed finances Of
the State The Government wheels creak, and
the Democratic Legislature so disregarded the
States interests to crafty party resentments,
that oil for the machinery has run out. The
General Assembly which adjourned in May,
1857, did not pass any law for the purpose of
raising a revenue for the years 1857 and 1858,
and the State Departments well as Benevo-
lent Institutions and creditors of the State, find
"woful hard shedding" The Governor recon-
mends that tax be levied for the year 1858 at
once. The interest due on the public debt Jan.
lst, 1859, will have to be met by loan, which
he thinks can be negotiated, provided the levy
is made for 1858. The recommendation of
double taxa large number of persons having
paid the tax for ls5s-is opposed by the India
napolis State Journal which declares that the
reasons given by the Governor for calling an
extra session at this time are exactly those he
gave two years ago, and have not improved
particle by age. Verify HoosierdOm is an in
teresting condition financially
Gov Willard recommends the construction of
new Penitentiary in the Northern part of the
State, the central one being full and convicts
rapidly multiplying.
The resumption of the Wabash and Erie Ca
nal by the State does not find the slightest favor
in the Assembly. The House, by an unani-
nous vote, resolved that it would be unwise TO
take back the Canal on any terms, and to re-
assume in an form the debt to satisfy which it
was transferred to the bondholders.

Marquette Items,

We clip the following from the Lake Supe-
rior Journal of Nov. 18th:
APPROACHES OF WINTER.-some of the ''old
settlers" here ara reluctant to admit that viii
ter is upon us, although the ground has been
covered with snow since the 10th instant, and
the Jingle of the merry bells has been in our
ears for days. They say it is two or three weeks
too early, although they admit, that winter has
stepped in, on extraordinary occasions, as early
as this before but not within the last half dozen
years.
Since the snow first fell we have had mod
erately cold pure, bracing atmosphere, (in
which we have greatly luxuriated,) thawlng
some in exposed places at midday, and freez-
ing pretty hard nights.
WINTER VIsIToRs.-SeYeral families of our
summer visitors, who came here for the bene-
fit of their health, (some of whom have already
experienced material benefit have made az
rangements 20 continue their soj0urn, and try
the bracing atmosphere of a Lake Superior
winter Among them are Mr.. Avery, his lady
and brother-in-law, from New York; Mr.. Ford
and lady, also of New York; the two Messrs.
Holdships, brothers, and mother, of Pittsburgh,
and Charles W. Penny, Esq and lady, OF Jack
son, in this State.
IEox BUSINESS FOR THE SEAsoN.-Duringt the
past season, something over thirty thousand
tons Of ion ore have been brought down from
the Mountains, and shipped; and about two
thousand tons of pig iron from the Pioneer
Works. There is but little remaining upon our
docks.
New STEAM SAw-MnL-We learn that
new Steam Saw-Mill is to be erected at once, by
Messrs Harvey d Edwards, On the Chocolate,
four miles from this place. They have con-
tracted with Mr.. Remington, of this village, to
get in logs this winter for million feet of lum-
Der. This will make the fifth Saw-AiI in the
neighbOrhOod, three of them being propelled by
water power, and two by steam.

FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY-Two BOYS FALL TO
THE BoTToN OF WELL AND ARE KILLED "A
shocking calamity occurred at Norwalk yester-
day noon, the particulars of which have been
furnished US by Mr.. Rust, engineer on the Cleve-
land d Toledo Railroad "A few weeks since
Mr. Mckinley, a machinist and his two sons
Charles and George, dug well near their house
to the depth Of fifty-seven feet. The well was
about eighteen inches in diameter at the top
and three feet at the bottom. Yesterday they
commenced erecting n curb around the we'll
The windlass which had been used for drawing
up dirt was still standing over it, and by some
means the bucket attached 10 the windlass rope
became unfastened and fell to the bottom
One of the boys put his foot in the iron hook at
the end of the rope and went down to recover
the bucket, the other holding the windlass the
while When some ten feet on his way down
the boy slipped from the rope and fell to the bot
tom of the we'll Mr.. Mckinley, wild with hor-
ror, put his o.her son upon the rope and bade
him go down and save his brother. The boy
attempted to do so but lost his hold when some
twelve feet down and fell to the bottom as his
brother had before him. a light was lowered
into the well to enable those above (there was a
large crowd congregated) to see the unfortunate
lads, but the air was so foul that the light in
stantly went out.
A large number of men worked all yesterday
afternoon to recover the bodies Of the boys
They were raised several times to within eight
or ten feet of the top, but the opening was SO
extremely small that they could not be pulled
out and fell violently back to the bottom.
The boys were aged seventeen and fourteen
years respectively, and are described as smart
and worthy boys. The calamity is alike singu-
lar and shocking.

EXPENSES OF TIE WAR DEPARTMENT--It is
understood that the War Department Report Of
Secretary Floyd will not recommend any radi-
cal change in the present organization of the
Army. Utah matters will be treated of at
length, and the great expenditures attending
the expedition will be accounted for. The ex-
penses of the Quartermaster's Department for
the past fiscal year have been S9,4ll,276, of
which nearly FIVE millions were on account of
Utah The Quartermaster's estimate of eI-

Valuable Chair.

The Revenue Cutter Black, was at Sandusky
recently, and Capt. Ottinger brought with him
a chair manufactured from the wood of Com.
Perry's flagship, the Lawrence. The Register
says;
The relic has been presented to the Commit
tee of the Monument Association, in this city.
The frame work of the chair-the legs, arms,
back, and rim of the seats made from parts
of the hull of the vessel, and the seat, from a
portion of the cabin. The front part of the
seat bears the mark ofa passing slug that was
fired into the vessel from a British gun. On
the inside of the back are the words and figures
-"September 18th, Isl3,"-on the reverse
''Don't Give up the Ship,"-the ever memora-
BILE words If the dying Lawrence, the friend of
Perry, and in honor of whom the latter named
his flagship. The relic is indeed rare, and
will be highly priced by the Association.

Commercial Branch Bank of Cleveland.

WN- a. OTIs, Esq has resigned the office of
President of the Commercial Branch Bank, and
T. P HANDY, Esq, has been appointed to the
vacancy Mr. DAN P EELLs, for many years
a Teller in the Bank, has been elected Cashier
Mr. E. L JONES, for several years past Assistant
Cashier, has gone as Cashier to the Bank of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He bears with him the
confidence of our business men, and the best
regards of our community generally. Mr..
ErLLs, under the long pupilage of the veteran
Cashier, Mr.. HANDY, is admirably qualified for
the post to which he has been deservedly pro-
NOTED
Mr. 0TIs has been the President, and Mr..
HANDY the Cashier of the Commercial Branch
Bank since its organization in ls45. Mr.. HAN
DY is the oldest as well as the most successful
Bank Cashier in the State. He has discharged
the responsible duties of the office in this city
for nearly twenty-seyen years-in the Com
mereial Bank of Lake Erie for eleven years,
and since in the Commercial Branch Bank
The latter has been the leading mOnied institu-
ton of Cleveland from its organization. Its in
terests and management have been closely iden-
titled with the interests and prosperity of our
city. To the prudent, sagacious, but enlarged,
liberal, and sustaining policy of the Board CfI
Directors and Officers ofthe institution, ofwhom
Mr.. HANDY has ever been an active principal,
very many of our citizens can refer as an
chor both sure and steadfast; and the continued
prosperity of the Bank in seasons of hard times
aswell as good times, Bank panies and " Anti
Bank wars" is the very best commentary on the
management of the institution.
The Commercial Branch Bank has been de-
ing large and remunerative business ever
since its establishment making regular diyid-
ends to stockholders, amounting in the aggre-
gate to S3s0,OOO. With capital of sl75,0OO,
its aggregate of discounts per year have been
nearly -Four Millions of Dollars, based chiefly
on the business of this city alone. 1t has no
claims or debts in suit and is still fourishing as
ever
Cleveland greatly needs more Bank capital
to develope her manufacturing and other re-
sources, and to secure all the advantages of her
admirable commercial, Lake, Canal, and Rail-
road INSTRUMENTATION similar TO the Com
mercial Branch Bank, with such fnanciers and
men as Orrs and HANDY at their head.

MAIL AGENT KILLED.-Mr. a. II. Davis,
Mail Agent from Baltimore to Cincinnati, was
killed on the Ohio Central Road five miles from
Columbus, on the 22d inst. The Statesman
says:
About twenty minutes after three o'clock as
the afternoon passenger train was passing an
extensive wood pile along the track five miles
from Columbus, Mr. Davis started from the first
baggage car to reach an adjoining apartment of
the car by walking along platform about eight
inches wide reaching from one door of the car
to another This is done by holding on to an
iron railing at the top of the car, and is the only
way of reaching the different apartments of the
car as there is no door between them. As Da-
Wis was passing along the narrow platform
stick of wood projecting out from the pile
caught his clothes and dragged him from his feet.
He fell under the wheels of the cars, which
were running at the rate of twenty-five miles
an hour, and the eutire train passed over his
right leg and left arm, cutting them both off =
The skull was also crushed, which caused al
most instant death.
Mr. Davis was about 80 years of age, had a
wife and five children in Baltimore, and had act
ed as through Agent from Baltimore to Cincin-
natl for number of years

By special private despatch from NOrwalk
we learn the bodies were recovered at IL o'clock
last night Physicians state that the boys must
have died from the foul air in the well rather
than from their fall. Mr.. Mckinley ~ nearly
insane with grief The bodies had fallen and
been pulled out so many times that they were
terribly mutilated when eventually recovered.

Fire-Eating JEFF Davis Rampant as Evcr---
He Assails Observation-Disclosures and Min
ME Rifles
Last summer the Hon. Jefferson Davis, of
Mississippi, one of the pillars of Democracy,
visited New England, and was reported to have
talked and behaved like tolerably sensible
man while among the Yankees. He became
SO Union-saving and conservative according to
the report of his speeches, that Mr. Douglas in
his Illinois campaign quoted from them and
claimed that Senator Davis was about to step
upon his own slavery platform Mr.. Davis is
again at his Mississippi home, and he now utter
ly repudiates the doctrines regarding slavery in
the Territories enunciated by Senator Douglas,
and declares that they are as Objectionable as
those of Mr.. Linceln, even going so far as to
express wish that Douglas and Lincoln had
made Kilkenny fight of it Davis evidently
hates Douglas with will.
Disunion Davis resorts to the old nullifer
game of threats unless the South can have its
own way. In a speech made in the Hall of the
Mississippi House on the Ilth inst, at the in
vitation of the Legislature, Senator Davis bold
ly avowed the treason, that ''if the Republicans
elected the next President, he was in favor of
the State of Mississippi Withdrawing at once
from the Union and asserting her independence.
That preparation might be made to this end, he
advised that all the old muskets in the State
should be turned into Minnie Rifles, and that
the whole State should at once prepare for war,
collect ammunition, cast cannon; and all this
he professed to think but the part of prudent
precaution. -
The Democratic party made great mistake
after Gen. Jackson's time, in fostering and Civ
ing office to the Nullifiers and Secessionists in
stead of the Union party and Union men of the
South If the hemp ordered by Old Hickory
when he issued his Union Proclamation had
been preserved and judiciously used, such
blatant traitors and disunionists as JEFF. Davis
would now be as scarce South of Mason and
Dixon as Republicans in the darkest corner of
Egypt. Yielding to dsunion threats, and PAM
peEing just such fre-eaters as Davis-who is
only a sample of class who have preyed on the
credulity of the party and the spOils of office
until they have 'waxed fat and kick"-are sins
which the masses of the Democratic party of the
North are beginning to repent of, however low
in the dust the leaders are still willing to crawl
to obtain the endorsement of Charleston Con-
Iention. The elections of 1858 speak with sig
ni6cance on this point.
Mississippi speech of Senator Davis, which
should be read by all Union men, and especially
by his brother Democrats at the North:

THE EFFEcT-soUTHERN BRAvADo.

It's effect would be to strengthen and not
weaken the bonds of the Union; to cement and
not separate the States. If the North saw and
felt that We were in earnest, and would not
permit aggression beyond 4 certain point, they
would cease their efforts. That for his part,
while he was Senator in the United States and
bound by his oath to support the Constitution
of the United States, he would enter into no
combinations, he would unite in no plots that
looked to the dissolution of the Union. But if
the eYil-hour should come when the State could
no longer remain in the Union with honor, and
he heard the voice of his beloved State calling
him home, he would throw off his Senatorial
robes, and be among the first to tear from its
place the star which now shone with such
bright lustre in the flag of our country, and
placing it with its brightness undimmed upon
new banner, unfurl it to the winds and while
he had head to think, a tongue to speak, or
an arm to strike, they should be devoted to the
defence of the sovereign and independent State
of Mississippi
