Gov. Morrill's Message.

Gov. MoRRILL's message to the Legislature
will be found in this paper. II is an able and
statesmanlike document which will commend
itself to our readers for the clearness in which
the statements relating to the affairs of the
State arc presented, and the ability displayed
by the Governor in discussing upon National
topics.
The account which the Governor gives Of the
Trcasurcr's defalcation, will be read with in
tcrcst. lie gives the true status of the sad
transaction-says that the State will not lose
ultimately, for it has ample security in the
Trcasurcr's bond.
"Stil," he says, 81 invite your careful in.
restigation Qfhe transactions ofhe Treas,
ury, as to the use of the public funds, and the
practices of the parties; official and unofficial,
with it."
"Onicial peculations the says further,) on
the public funds, although under the protcc-
ton of an official bond, should DO penal Of
tense; not less completely with official pccula-
ton. The guiiiiesi man in this respect, may
not ditrdys be the Official"
Acting upon this suggestion ofthc Governor,
the Legislature have already chosen an inycsti-
eating committee and clothed II with power to
send for persons and papers. A full investiga-
tion will be made, and no matter who may be
mixed up in the affair, let them be Republicans,
Democrats, and Buchanan Federal Office hold
ers, they will be fcrrctcd out, and held up to
the public view, and the public reprobation.-
There is no disposition to screen the offenders.
Gov. Morrill's exposition Of the slavery ques.
ton we are quite sure, will meet the approval
of every candid man IN the State.

IL Is hardly necessary that bespeak for our
institutions OF public charity your especial
favor. For particular Information as to the
present condition and future wants OF the In
sane Hospital, refer you to reports of the
officers ofthat institution for the past year,
which viii be laid before you.
The number OF patients treated therein, the
past year, has been greater than in any preyi-
vious year while the annual results OF the
efforts TO benefit this class of our people, have
been such as will not fail TO excite q lively In
terest in support of this refuge for the unfor-
tunate.
There were in the Hospital, on the 3oth OF
November last, two hundred and thirty-seyen
patients under treatment, the average daily
number for the year being two hundred and
twenty-five, whils the whole number received
since II was qlf61ssd to the public is two thou.
sand and niRcty-seyen. or the two hundred
and thirty seven persons there in November
last, one hundred and ninety-seyen were a
charge, lin whole or in part, upon the state.
The expenditures for the year were So, I'd
and the receipts from patients for board, cloth
ing, are stated at So, 42l.39.
The wants Of the Institution for the current
wear, for the support of the classes OF patients
mentioned, will probably not exceed the APP
preparations of last year for that purpose. -,

show the aggregate yearly appropriations and
expenditures for all purposes since the founda-

erection and support Of this school have been

Incidents.

Among tho many painful incidents of this
dreadful night, is the following, Just related
to me by one Of the FIRE engineers. When
the fire was beginning to age, and before IL
had stiled the cries and groans Of those in
the ruins, he, with Others, forced his way
against the smoke and flame, to try and res
cue some of those whose voices he could hear.
Suddenly he caught glimpse Of three per-
sons, imprisoned by crumbled PARTITION
two men and a woman. lie even caught ono
of tho men by the hand, and hoped TO draw
him out, but the cracking Of the flames
around him, and the warning voice OF an Off
Ger, impelled him reluctantly TO dcsist, and
by a timely retreat to save his own lifc.-
Neither of the three persons appeared injur-
cd at all, and they must have literally roast
cd alive.
As relief from this slddcning narrative,
I will mention the fortunate escape oil one of
the female operatives by coolncs which did
her infinite credit. She was in tho 9th sto-
~ in q part of the building, when, having
but moments warning Of the fall of the
building, she sprang to the elevator.
She clasped firmly hold OF one Of the hoist
ing ropes, and slid rapidly and safely down
its whole length, through FIVE stories, cmcr-
ging from the building just in season to cs-
cape destruction. Through the whole night
she was one of the most valuable nurses In
the temporary hospital at the city, and her
judgment showed her to be the woman for
the times. Her name is Olive Bridges, and
she halls from Calais, Me.
The Boston papers ofycsterday give tho
following list of the bodies, found and rec
ognizcd, the missing and the wounded
They are probably quite imperfect.
The Union and journal. [volume] (Biddeford, Me.) 1858-1882, 1860-01-13
Description OF the Accident.

The building fell-thc different parts almost
simultaneously five minutes before 5o'clock
A portion of the operatives had left, but II Is
probable that about six hundred (thc minimum
calculation) were in the building at the time.
The report that an explosion OF the boiler
caused the fall is incorrect. The boiler was not
located in the main building, and itiell, as near
~ rs can learn, from mere weakness nf the
walls, and their inability TO support the struc-
turc itself and the weight and constant jar OF
the machinery within ii, and not from any sud-
den shock or pressure brought upon it.
The building seemed to crumble first near the
east end, and fell in towards the East; being
pressed in that direction by the workshops,
