pleased to hear it.
The Governor delivered an able though lengthy
message, in which both Houses manifested great
interest. We have not time to allude to each
portion separately. We will take occasion in our
next to refer to it in manner in which it deserves
Both bodies are now organized, and business is
being dispatched with facility, under the new
President and Speaker, which is an ample index
of the wisdom Of the choice of both Houses.
There is quite full attendance--but few rep
resentatives being absent. How long the session
will last we cannot say; however, we feel certain
that it win not remain longer than is necessary.
The Press has been well represented here.
Gen. McCardle, of the Southron, gave us the light
of his countenance for one night, but was soon off
again to lis dreary home. Gen. Wood, of the Free
Trader, is here, brilliant and dashing as usual,
Col. Partridge, of the Wing, pays us daily visits
and is much admired for his fine social qualities
by all.
The Hotels are crowded, and the Dickson
House, kept by our estimable and accomplished
commodations We commend her to the consid
grafton of those who intend visiting this city, as
one who will attend to every want, and give them
a quiet, retired place to stay She has been
designated very appropriately as the mother of
