Extra Session Of the Legislature.

Gov. Stewart has issued call for an
Extra Session of the Legislature, TO con-

The Governor says the purposes Of the Ex-
ira Session are:
To make the appropriation necessary 10

which institution, by reason OF the neglect
of the Legislature to make an appropriation
sessopob!y, has been dependent, for some
months. upon the credit extended TO 1t By
citizens; else

But the still more important and main
object of the session is, 10 make provision

gems of the State, we were anxious for the
Legislature to adopt the best possible plan

and we fear the third session vii! prove
third failure, and therefore regret the call
ing of the Extra Session. We think it
would have been better to have called the
new Legislature together, Immediately after
their election. In the mean time, the whole
question would haze been fully canvassed
before the people, and their vicws would
have been fairly represented in the nen
chosen, and they could have gone more
promptly to work, than the present men,
bers. The calling Of the Legislature TO-
gether again, looks to much like the old
plan of locking juries up, and compelling
them to render a VERDICT. Such verdicts
do no. meet out justice. However, we
hopefully wait the action of the Legislature
in third effort to do what should have beer
done at the first session, and at the first o.
the session.

Washington Correspondence.

NEW YoRz, January "a.
The Trbune's Washington correspondence says
OF the Harper's Ferry Investigation:
oNo testimony has been before the Committee
of Investigation in any way duplicating Republic
cans with John Browns raid. Mr. Realf states
enphaticaliy that the movement was known TO
but few persons, as Brown was secretTe man
and kept BIS own counsels. None who accom-
panied him to Harper's Ferry, but kagi, was IN
formed of the plan. He also says that Brown
and those in his confidence wei lie radical abolition
lists, who denounced the Republicans. When
Senator Wilson made his speech in Lawrence,
Kansas, they assailed him for failing to approach
their standard of duty.
Dir. Wilson appeared before The Committee and
stated he had written 10 DR.. Howe, OF Boston, for
the original letter which had been referred to by
Realf. That letter was written in May, 1858, and
substantially tells DIR. Howe that information had
reached him TO the effect that Brown intended
using the arms furnished for Ka nsas by the Mas
sschusetts Aid Society in manner not conten-
plated, and ADVISES that they should be withdrawn
from him.
"Mr. Blair, OF Collinsville, who manufactured
The pixies which figured at Harpsr's Ferry, states
that they were ordered during the Kansas troub-
les, as weapons Of protection.
MIR, Calender, Cashier of the Bank at Hart
ford, proves that Brown had funds there which
were drawn to furnish supplies for Kansas. He
never had the renotest idea OF the movement an
Virginia till it was published.

The Thunder on Old Brown.

The London Times, in leader upon the
execution Of John Brown, expresses its
contempt for his hackers, and closes as fsl-
lows:
The result will be 20 strengthen the

Of opinion which in every country lies be-
tween two extremes. Whatever may be
The future Of the negro race, no one in his
senses can believe its regeneration can be
effected BY MEETING it to murder planters
and ravish white women, and If any man
chooses 10 head an outbreak Of this kind he
must expect TO meet fate which right
'hisking men will not glOrify with q crown
Of mariyrdom.

Opposition Convention.
The St. Louis .Ners, of late date $

The St. Louis .Neus, of late date says
The Opposition Executive Committee of
this City, after consulting with numerous
friends from the country, including several
members Of the Legislature, have fixed the
29th day of February next, for the holding
Of the Opposition Convention, at Jefferson
City, It's generally understood that the
Convention will confne its action TO the
nomination of o candidate for President, and
matters properly npperiaining 10 National
Politics.
1t is high time that Missouri should ex-
press her preference for President, and take
her own independent position in federal af-
fairs. She is a central Western State, more
interested in the preservation Of the Uhion,
and the quiet of the country, than any other
State, Her loyalty to the Government is
beyond any doubt, and now the existence of
the Government seems 10 be threatened.
those Of her citizens who have something
to be maintained by peace, and something TO
lose by universal revolution and anarchy,
should speak in tones that will command
the attention of the political harpies who
are endeavoring 10 sway the destinies Of
the Nation to sui; their own selfish ends and
petty ambition.
We entreat The Opposition to organize in
every county. Let those gentleman who
have heretofore abstained from politics, but
who really constitute the worth andistreng.h
of the cc dntry, come forward once more
From the origin Of the Government 10 tie
present time, there has Daver been time
when lis existence, was in such peril. II
the sober, and the wise, and the patriotic
cldsses are thrust aside, and the present
campaign is yielded, as too many campaigns
have already been, to the wild and reckless
councils Of demagogues and politicians, we
solemnly believe. the nn:ion will, ere a
twelye-month elapse, find intself immerged
in a revolutionary vortex from which il will
never escape.
We are on the very threshold Of mighty
events-nighty for good or evil. May God
protect the country, and in His wisdom
place at his head q statesman and patriot
who will watch over IFS interests and pre-.
serve its integrity.
We had hoped later day would be q.
greed upon. but the above day seems tt
meet with approval, and we waive further
opposition to the holding'of the Convention
at such an inclsment season.
The main object is to further indicate thu
eminsn. fitness Of one Of our most distin
guished citizens fcr:he Presidency. Whils
friends in other States are working for MIR
Bates, il Is indeed time his own friends ant
nsiehbors were moving.

OXEN IN CoLLAns.-A correspondent Of
the St. Louis Democrat, writing from Le-
bannon. Illinois, ssys:-
To-day have noticed team Of FIVE
oxen. working with collars and trace chains,
like horses, with cruppers and bands across
their backs 10 hold the trace chains up in
their places. The finely fitting collars
looked altogether more humane than hard
bows would around their necks. In prac-
teal point Of view it would pay TO work
oxen in this manner, ns they will draw
larger leads, and single oxen can be used
when necessary"

A Small Storm in the Senate.

The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent thus describes the violent
assault in debate of Southern Senators upon
Mr.. DooLIrTLE of Wisconsin, on Monday:
"The executive session of the Senate TO-
day was probably the most violent and bru-
tai that ever disgraced the Senate of the
United States. Mr.. CLlNcMAN made a
severe speech against the election Of SEW
ARD. Mr.. DooL,rTLE replied 10 CLING
MAN, and charged upon the South with Sc
verify. when Mr.. TOXINS gave the lie to
DcoLIrTLE, and DooLIrTLE flung it back,
and CONSERVATION followed, and what fol-
lowed that your reporter cannot tell, save a
hurried adjournment. do no. hear that
notes have passed tonight. but all concur
that the scene in the Senate to-day was
never exceeded.
Since writing the above / have learned
that the cause Of the difficulty grew out Of
a charge brought by the Republicans that
Mr.. FAULKNER was in faver Of 9isunion.
As evidence Of this. an extract Of his recent
speech concerning Browns raid al Harper 8
Ferry was quoted. This brought the en-
tire South to the support Of Mr.. FAULKNER
and his disunion sentiments, who, it was
believed up TO that time. would have been
rejected but for the additional interference
of Mr.. DooLIrTLr. Messrs. 1vERsos and
Clay are said to have been quite as bitter
as Mr.. TOXINS in their replies to Mr..
DooLrrrLE, who is not reported to have
made any answer to the spithet'' which
are reported to have been very severe
The Old Senators say there has not been
50 stormy an Executive Session since the
rejection Of Mr.. VAN BunEE, and Tie al
tempted rejection of Mr.. EVERETT, who
