NEW EARS CALLs.-0ur suggestion yes
terday, looking to the obsetvance of Satur-
day next as the day On which New Year 5
calls should BE ihade, New Years day
coming on Sabbath), has, it seems, played
h6b" with the arrangements of some of
our lady readers. They had made their ar
rangements for Monday, when 10 the Jour
nal comes out, favoring Saturday, and spoils
their calculations. Several of the aggrieved
ladies have appointed a certain gentleman
committee of one, with full power to pro-
cure a change in the time of calling as sug-
gested by the Journal, to Monday.
We regret the dilemma in which we have
placed that portion of the ladies favorng
Monday, and can only remedy the matter
by recommending gentlemen to make their
calls on Monlay. We presume that is the
proper day, as Saturday will be devoted to
fitting the "young ones" out for New
Years, to baking, cleaning, and " fixing
up generally. Besides, Saturday is the
busiest day among the male population.
Since writing the above, we learn that q
number of ladies have their hearts set on
the observance of Saturday, as the day for
calling. We know of only one plan to solve
this difficulty: let the "great principle of
popular sovereignty" rule; let each lady
observe the day she prefers, and, in order to
signify the fact of her house being open for
visitors, she can hang on the doO9,knob
token of some kind-say blue rib5on. In
this way, callers may know which houses
are and which are not open on she respec-
tive days, without being obliged to wait at
the doors. There doesn't appear to be any
possibility of agreeing on any one day, so
everybody, gentlemen and ladies, will have
to proceed according to their individual
convenience. BY following out the above
PLAZA, time will be saved and embarrassment
prevented.

LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
THE PRESIDENT,S MFssAGH

Was delivered on Tuesday. An imperfect
abstract was telegraphed on that evening,
which we should have received but for the
breaking of the line. We expect to be able
TO give the full message tomorrow morning +,
therefore we shall not publish the abstract
If our readers will exercise patience, they
can see the whole thing soon.
The President goes the whole hog in en-
dorsing the right to take slaves into the ter
ritories under the Constitution, and in de-
claring that neither Congress nor the Terri
torial Legislature, nor any humaa power,
has any power to annul or impair this vested
right.
The State Sentinel douglas paper) can
hardly believe its eyes when it reads this,
and plainly 'intimates its design to "pitch
in to that portion of the message whea it
sees a true copy.

HoRRIBLE DGsCoyERY-A MAN BURIED
ALIvE-The Albion (Mich.) ReVieto says
that man by the name of George Sawyer
died, as was supposed, in spasm, some time
last spring. He was buried alive. Not long
since, some of his friends, wishing TO re-
move his body, disinterred him. They
found him lying on his face, his hand in his
hair, with great handfuls torn ont, and his
grave clothes all torn to pieces.
y law ought to be passed, requiring, I'M
der severe penalties, that bodies Of persons
supposed to be dead be kept until unmistaka-
BILE signs of decomposition show themselves
or if this is impracticable from the preva-
lence of any contagious disease, then, that
some unerring test-such as an incision into
the flesh, the amputation OF a little finger,
or some other operation that would not
prove fatal in case the subject lived-be
made by physician, to ascertain with GER
tanty that life Is indeed extinct. We be-
leve that talAltituales of persons have been
buried alive through the unseemly haste
with which bodies are hurried to the grave

Bea- We passed through the Pork House
of Mr.. SAMUEL ORR yesterday, and found
his men busily engaged in cutting up some
fine hogs. Mr.. Orr informs US that he will
not be able to get near his usual quantity
of pork this season, but what he does take
in, will be very good. Last week he re-
ceived several very fine lots from Gibson

MARULE, averaging 28O pounds net, one lot
from Mr.. JOSEPH COLE, averaging 2G2

ESES~ The bold and insolent threats of Dis
union from Southern representatives in
Congress- are likely to do more harm to
themselves at home than to the Opposition
at the North. The Southern Opposition and
Independent newspapers are beginning to
speak out boldly. The Richmond (Virginia)
Ne,cS, for example, says that if either Wise
or Hunter can see the way TO a nomination
for the Presidency, we will hear no more
threats of Disunion, and that no man of any
sense believes that such an event as the dis
solution of the Union is likely to happen
Says the Netcs:
al He who processes to have deliberately
weighed the consequences to Virginia alone
of dissolution of this Constitutior-viewed
even in its consequences to Virginia, and
her slave property, and her other material
interests and processes to desire disuniOn, is
a conceited simpleton, or an empty block
head, or something worse than either.
"Of all the States of this Union-it is
demonstrabie. even as to her slave interests
that there is no State in this Union that
would gain so little and endure so much by
disunion as this glorious old State. Calm,
deliberate, pains-taking and informed re-
Election, will satisfy any impartial mind that
upon the theorieS-we mean the CONNER
cial, financial, and manufacturing theories
of that school who advocate disunion-Eir.

By The telegraphic news Tuesday night
which we find in the indianapolis and st.
Louis papers of Wednesday morning (hav-
ing failed to get it ourselves), was of con-
siderable interest. The Presidents annual
Message was presented. Ia the Senate, it
was read after being objected to 10y several
Senators. The message was laid over till
after the holidays, when it is to be printed.
In the House it WAS laid on the table till the
House effects an organization.
In the House, after Mr.. Smith, of Virgin
ia. had finished speech commenced the
day before, On effort was made by the DEM
ocrats. to elect temporary Speaker for ten
DAYS, for the alleged purpose of voting the
post office appropriations. The Republicans
objected, unless John Sherman should be
elected such temporary Speaker.
The 22d ballot for Speaker was then
taken. with the following result; Whole
number ofvotes, POS; necessary to a choice,
1O5. Sherman received l0l; Scott of Cal
