The LEGISLATURE OF MISSISSIPPI met at Jackson
on the lst instant. Hon. James Drane was elected
President of the Senate by acclamation and Mr..
). ): Calhoun, Secretary. The House was organized
6y the election of j. l.. Antry as Speaker, and Mr.
y. A Brougher as Clerk. A resolution was intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Davis, and made the
special order for the ensuing Thursday, declaring
that the institution of slavery, as now held and
practced in the Southern States is neither legally
nor morally wrong, and hence the law of Congress-
making the slave trade piracy should be re-
pealed.
Inc Governors message was read in both branch
es, and number of extra copies ordered to be
printed. With reference to the levee system. a
project designed to give security to the bottom and
swamp lands along the Mississippi river, the Cover
nor recommends that a tax be levied on all the
swamp property sufficient to build up this protection
After careful reflection, he could see no means for
the completion of the railroads but by the in
terpositon of State aid. He would therefore in aid
OF these great and benifcent works, recommend
that tax of one quarter of one per cent be levied
upon all the taxable proparty of the State outside
OF that heretofore proposed to be taxed for levee
purposes. He had no hesitation in recommending
the State University of Oxford to the fostering care
OF the Legislature, and to the care of all the peope
OF the State with the expression of the hope that
every young man in the State who is desirous of a
thorough education will seek it at Oxford and not
in other States
In reference to the cOmmon-scbool system he re
commends the appointment of a superintendent-in-
chief, whose duty it should be to travel over the
State, lecturing and advising and directing as to
those Schools and that he should annually report To
the governor the first day of October the con di
ton and pecuniary resources of these schools in
each county in the State with the number of chill
dren being educated in them, and his views gener-
ally in reference to the legislation necessary to give
efficiency in the common-school system.-W Wash.

TExAs.-A letter to the Galveston Ne,os, dated
San Elizario, Texas, October lst, says
'Two companies of the sth Infantry, under the
command of Capt. Arthur 7. Lee, have arrived att
the place designated for post the Rio
Grande, near the canon upon the San Antonio and
I'll Paso mail route, and making preparations
for building Fort Qutman. This post will be the

THE NEXT HoUsE-The Washington Union has
the following about the political complexion of the
next House Representatives
1t will be seen that, though the democratic party
should elect men of their own in every Southern
district now represented by Americans, it would
still have but hundred and twelve, a minority of
the House.
The admission of Oregon would give another,
but there would still be but hundred and thir-
teen of the hundred and nineteen necessary to a
majority. Nor is it probable that the party will
elect more than six or eight in place of the twelve
Americans now representing southern Districts
and so it is hardly possible that the full strength
OF the party in the next House can be more than
one hundred and ten in two hundred and thirty
six or seven. On the other hand, it is obvious
that: neither branch of the opposition will have
control of that body; for there will be but one
hundred and eleven Republicans, twelve anti
Lecompton Democrats, and say four or five South
ern Americans. In other words, the complexion of
the House will be very similar to that of 1856 -56,
which was signaliZed by so long and excited a
struggle for the organization of that body; vet it
is to be considered that if as good an understand
ing shall subsist between the anti Lecompton
Democrats and Republicans as subsisted last win
ter, when Mr.. Harris, of Illinois, acted as leader
of the coalition, the black Republican strength in
the House will be as decided as one hundred and
twenty-tour, or clear majority, exclusive of such
Americans as Winter Davis, of six in full House.

FRoM MARTINIQUE, Oct. 1sth.-Monetary affairs
at Martinique were reported to be in sad state
specie was extremely scarce and nothing but notes
of the Island Treasury were in circulation.
The Court of First Instance has decided that the
Bank of Martinique is not bound to redeem IN
French gold, its notes issued under the law organ
zing the Colonial Bank; and that holders of its
notes are not bound to take in payment treasury
notes which the bank is authorised to reckon as
specie. In the local money market French coin was
at premium of II to II per cent. and discounts at
half per cent per month; the doubloon is officially
rated at 80 francs the American eagle, ll5f 54c 70

REVIVAL OF THE New York QuARANTINE EXCITE
MENT.-Dr. Watson, magistrate, and the four mem
bers of the Board of Supervisors of the town of
Castleton, Staten Island, who together form the
Board of Health of that place, have been notified
that they would be arrested and held to bail in the
sum of $1,000 each, for having voted for the reso-
luton adopted the first September, 1858, to
abate "the Quarantine nuisance" The Commits
sioners of Emigration, on the ground that Quaran-
tine property riotously and violently DESTROYED
on the night of the lst and I'd of September to the
amount of $685. $50 by mob of five hundred per-
sons, have, through their counsel, served com
plant upon the Board of Supervisors of Richmond
county, demanding judgment against defendants
The aggregate amount of bail required is 81 800 OO0
Judge Metcalf has decided not to commit Messrs
Kay Tomkins and Thompson on the charge of arson
and riot but to discharge them, the ground that
the action of the Board of Health of Castleton in
declaring the Quarantine to be nuisance and call
ing upon the people to abate it at their discretion
exonerates those who participated in the destruc-
tion OF the property from criminal responsibility
The Mobile Register states that the Circular in
vitng Emigrants to join vessel to sail for Nicara-
qua from Mobile on the 10th inst was never signed
by General Walker, but was issued by the South

1t this statement is correct, it is little singular
that General Walker himself shopld not have re-

lished under his signature.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The emigration party of
len alker, designing to sail for Nicaragua, have,
1t is stated On what is believed to be good authority
been invited by the "Democratcos' to make com
mon cause against the new constitution. Hence a
revolution is confidently anticipated and one of the
results of its success the return of the ratified Cass
Irisarri Treaty. The American, Atlantic and Pa
clhc Canal Company have complained to the State
Department of Gen. Jerezs interference with their
affairs to their deriment and it is stated that let

envoys.

Major Heiss, the editor of the Washington States,
by which their respective journals are to be con-

PRICE TWO CENTS

A.Iamaica correspondent of the New York Herald
says:
The articles which have recently appeared in the
Daily Necs of London the subject OF the pro-
posed emigration to Jamaica OF the free colored
population of the Southern States of America have
been transferred to the columns of our newspapers
and made the subj ject of several leading articles
The Daily Neps states that the three hundred sugar
estates that at present in cultivation here EN-
roy only fifteen thousand laborers, to each of whom
the planters only pay nnepence to one shilling per
day--making total of about fl90,0O0 per annum.
This is a misstatement that must have been design
edly made. There are properties in this country
that distribute EGO per week among the laoorers
employed on them; and it is estimated that not less
than f6GO, 900 is expended in this island in labor on
sugar estates alone. The Daily NeIos also states
that the planters desire to import immigrants be-
they cannot induce the 900 native laborers
to manufacture from $4,000 to 10000 hogsheads OF
sugar. This is likewise misstatement. The gentry
desire immigration to increase the population OF the
colony and to extend cultivation The population
of Jamaica is under sixty to the square mile, while
that of Barbados IAN island not larger than one OF
our large agricultural parishes-St. Thomas in the
East for instance, is 675 to the square mile. The
consequence of this is that while Barbados ex-
ports 50,000 hogsheads of sugar. Jamaica ships but
10000 hogsheads. In this state of things would
gladly welcome the Southern negroes if the gov,
ernments of England and the United States would
consent to their emigration.

I NEW IELEGRAPHIC ENTERPRISE-Mr. F. n. Gis-
borne has set on foot a telegraphic enterprise
! by which it is proposed to connect Boston with
| HALIFAX by direct route via Cape Ann and Var
mouth, n. s., saving circuit of over 700 miles
through Maine and New Brunswick and avoiding
the monopoly OF existing companies. Mr.. Osborne
saws:
Blanc Sablon in the straits of Belle Isle being
nearer to Ireland than Bay of Bulls Arm, Trinity
Bay, Newfoundland, a submarine cable thence to
Cape Breton 80 miles, at a cost of $3.50 900 would
successfully complete for transatlantic connec-
ton with the New York, Newfoundland, and Lon
don Telegraph Co., who have expended or issued
stock for nearly five times that amount, to reach
the same point.
1t is, however, distinctly understood that the
Boston, Halifax and London Telegraph Compa-
ny shall not extend their operations beyond
the confines OF Nova Scotia, until an At
lantic Telegraph Company shall have been
organized for the purpose of connecting Ire
Iand win Blanc Sablon, to which point the
aforesaid company shall then extend their lines 1t
is proposed that the capital of the Boston Halifax
and London Telegraph Company" be $500 OOO TO
be thus appOrtoned 120 900 to represent or nlIr-
chase out the Nova Scotia Telegraph Companv's
1000 miles of lines; $4,000 to be expended in tho
roughly repairing the same; 10000 for the cost of
the Cape Ann and Yarmouth cable; S, 900 for the
land line between Cape Ann and Boston; 80 900 as
reserUe fund for extending lines, or other contn-
gencies. Total, 100000
The failure of the present Atlantic cable occasions
loss OF 81 100000, to which must be added the
New YORK, Newfoundland and London Telegraph
Companys stock of 81 500 900, thus interest on the
enormous amount of three and a quarter millions
OF dollars has to be paid when taking a new de-
parture from Trinity Bay for an Atlantic cable,
whereas via Blanc Sablon the interest on but $3.50
ooO Is required for a connection at precisely the
same pont-Cape Breton. Mr.. Osborne was to
explain his plan to the merchants at the Exchange
