MODEL SPEECHIN THE MISSOURI LEG
STATURE.

We find the following in the reports Of
the proceedings of our Legislature on Friday
last. 1t will ut once occur to the render of
Mr.. Pitts speech that he is, as his name
would imply, vertable descendant Of Lord
Chatham. His chief resemblance to that
distinguished orator is said to consist in
the possession of two legs and a head with
a nose on it. Read Mr.. Pitts speech:
Mr.. Pitt offered the following:
Resolred, That the Speaker be authorized
to cause to be printed and posted one hun
dred bills, announcing the oth Of january
1859.
Mr.. Abney. lmovc to lay that resolution
on the table.
Mr.. Pitt. Mr.. Speaker, this house passed
resolutions, sir, to celebrate, in an appro-
pirate manner, the oth Of January. This
is a resolution simply asking that notice be
given to the public Of that day. We have
declared an intention, AMI now. when we
come to publish it, some gentleman is sud
denly seized with the ':rctrenchncnt yripes,'
and squirms around like a long red worm
on a pin hook. Uaughtcr.) Gentlemen
keep continually talking about economy. l.,
myself, do not believe in tying the public
purse with cobwcb strings, but when re-
trenchment comes in contact with patriotism
it assumes the form of "smallness.' Such
economy is like that of Old Skinfint, who
had Il pair of boots made for his little boy,
without solcs, that they might last the
longer. (Laughter.) reverence "the
dav we celebrate" 1t is fraught with
"reminiscences the most stirring; it brings
to mind one of the grapdest events ever
recorded in letters of living fire upon the
walls of the temple Of fame by the strong
right arm of the god of war! On such
occasions we should rise above party lines
and political distinctions. never fought
unde er the banner of Old Hickory, but, "by
the enternal' wish had. daughter and
applause.) If the old war horse was here
now he would not know his own children
from the side Of Joseph's coat of many
Wings, Know No,hings, Democrats,
hard, soft boiled, scrambled and fried ;
Lincolnitcs, DougIasites and blatherskites
belong to no party; am free, unbridled,
unsaddlcd, in the political pasture.' Like
a bob tailed hull in fly time, charge
around in the high grass and fight my own
flies. (Great laughter.) Gentlemen, let Us
show our libcralty on patriotic occasions.
Why. some men have no more patriotism
than you could stuff in the eye of II knitting
needle. Let US not squeeze five cents till
the eagle on it squcals like locomotive or
an old maid. Let US print the bills and
inform the country that we are as full of
patriotism as are Illinois swamps of tadpoles.
(Laughter.) don't believe in doing things
by halves. Permit me, Mr.. Speaker, to
make poetical quotation from one of our
noblest authors:
az love to see the grass among the red May roses
old gray horse for when he goes he gOscs
(Convulsivc laughter.)
After the above speech, the House refused
to Law the resolution on the table.

CO One Of the funniest things got up in
New York, lately, was the excursion Of the
Anger Association, in burlesqus OF the tar
get excursions. Each man carries an anger
instead Of gun; a Calathumpian band ao-
companies them, and the exercise consists
in walking biindfold 30 the target and boring
a hole through it. Not one man in twenty
can do It, and the tlunders that are made
cause great deal Of sport. .''

CT Jerseyman writes was over in
your city-New York--the other day, and
dropped in at gallery of dagucrrotypes.-
There saw a picture, an Irish hod carrier,
standing by the side of his hod, pipe in mouth.
The poor fellow looked wearied enough with
his toll, and appreciated tho fancful title
written underneath: "Thc Greek Slave-By
tkc Powers!" Just then dandilicd fellow
happened to spy it, and taking out his eye
glass, gave it a critical examination and
drawled out: "Ah, ycs-Greek Slave
Power's Greek Slave very fne-saw the
original good copy this-very good
fine specimen OF the art" And being per-
fcctly satisfied that he had seen a copy Of
the Greek Slave, he walked on to study the

A FoRAY UPON CHIHUHAUA AND SONORA.
A correspondent of the st. Louis Repub.
lican says there is design to collect all the
Disappointed Pixies Peakites, after the gold
en- visions that have allured them into the
wilderness shall have passed away, into a
fillibustering expedition upon the Mexican
States of chihuahua and Sonora. The Re
pu6liean says: t-.Af-tiL ~ s.h
That agents have been at work in get
ting ND an expedition, which is to be con-
centrated in Chihuahua and Sonora, does
not admit ola doubt; and the condition of
the men who have gone out to the gold re-
gion-the restitution of many OF them even
when leaving our frontier, and the proba-
bility that hundreds and thousands will be
in a state of absolute starvation, and, there
fore, ready for anything, soon after their ar
rival-all these things warrant the belief
that an inroad, peaceable or otherwise, will
be made into the Mexican States which we
have named All that is wanted to give a
successful issue to such an expedition, is
money-money to pay for the provisions
for the use of the men. This has been the
main difficulty in the way of an earlier Or
ganization, and may yet prevent an efficient
force from being set in motion. The coun-
| try will look with much interest to the flu
| ture movements of the fillibusters on the
Western Plains.

The Canal.

The change in the administration of the
canal has caused remarkable revolution in
the feelings Of the people along the line in
regard to the work. Since they were per-
suaded that it was to be managed with
some care and efficiency for their benefit, it
has become the peoples work.; they
watch and protect it as their own property.
A correspondent at Millersburg writes us
an account of the interest manifested in that
vicinity in the preservation and repair OF
the canal. He says the people in that neigh
borhood are keeping watch Of the canal as
if it were their own; as soon as a leak or q
craw6sh hole is seen, it is stepped by the
citizens. In the case Of a recent breaks in
that vicinity, large number of men left
their own labor and affairs and went, vol
nntarily, to work to arrest and repair the
damages, and continued to work till the
danger was past and the repair boat, with
its crew, arrived to complete what they had
begun. He says Mr.. ]. II. Miller, of Mil
lersburg, deservs much credit for the public
spirit he has manifested in helping on the
work, and for the care and labor he De-
slowed upon the Millersburg Level during
the absence of the Waterman and repair
boat at the breaks above. There are few
ado nothings," our friend writes, at Mil
lersburg, as in other places, who are wait
ing for the peopre to do the work, in the ben
efts of which, they intend to get a full
share. But the body of the people there are
ready to do all for the canal in their power.
In afew years, if the canal be maintained in
a reliable condition, he thinks the improve
ment of the country along its line will COM
pei the wolf-catchers to remove their traps
back into the hills.

KURTZ.

Miss HULHTT, young lady of only lS
summers, who has had no peculiar advan-
tages of education, is astonishing the citi-
zens of Terre Haute by the extraordinary
ability and eloquence with which she dis
cusses impron.ptu some Of the most elevated
themes of philosophy and morals. She is
filling a church nightly with admiring audi
ences. The editor of the Journal of that
place-a gentleman not remarkable for his
enthusiasm on any subject, and easily car
ried away by admiration for novelties
declares her to be ga most wonderful
woman He says;
Although she is quite young, she showed
a degree of learning, thought, scriptural,
scientific and historical research, which as
tonished and delighted all who heard her.
She was ready for every question pro-
pouaded to her, and answered them all with
promptness, clearness, and satisfactory to
the audience. We do not believe that there
is an individual In this city, no matter
what his attachments may be, that can take
the stand and answer the questions put 10
her, with half the promptness and satisfac-
ton she did. Her triumph last night,
whether it was achieved by her native tai
ents and requirements, or superinduced by
the agents of spirits speaking through her
or not, was complete.
