GOVERNORS, MESSAGES

New JERsEY.-The Governors message is
about the same length as the one of last year,
and shows an improved condition of the State
finances, in consequence of increased revenues
from the monopolies. 1t touches upon the pre-
valllng excitements, condemning the fanati.
cism of the agitators who misrepresent public
sentiment in both sections of the Union. The
Governor denounces Browns murderous dem
onstration at Harpers Ferry, but does not
believe the Union is in any danger on account
of it.
KAYsAs-The Kansas Territorial Legisla-
ture was organized at Lecompton on the Sd
inst, by the election of Republican officers
throughout. The message Of Governor Me-
dairy recommends the passage of an usury law,
with adequate punishment for violation dep
recates the chartering of banks, saying that
paper money, at best, is but cheat, and de-
moralizing in its tendency. He remarks, that
it is source of qualification, that, since the
adjournment of the last Legislature, the utmost
peace and quiet had prevailed throughout the
Territory; and, owing to the bounteous crops,
the greatest plenty prevails; and though crime
is not wholly extirpated, there are no longer
armed gangs, ready to rob, plumber, and lay
waste our Territory.
TExAs.-General Houston SAYS in his mes
sage that he had been called from the retire
ment of private life, to serve the people as
Governor, not being the candidate of any
party, but had been elected by the spontaneous
will of the people, He believed it to be the
great interest of the State to continue her in
ternal improvements, and her resources devel.
oped her rivers improved for navigation where
practicable, at reasonable expense, particu-
larry In localities where railroads were not
likely to extend for many years. That it was
the great policy of the State to foster and en-.
courage education. In regard to the frontier
difficulties, he said that treaties of peace should
be made acih the Indians that the unfriendly
tribes ought to be taught that it was to their
advantage to live in peace with our settlers,
and to associate in trade with them. He
thought that the annuties given to the tribes
in Texas should be paid to them within the
limits of this State, as this would bring about
q constant connection and intercourse with the
people. They were more friendly with the citi.
zens of Missouri and Arkansas, because they
received their annuites through those States
He was in favor of having a regiment of ran
gers, to be paid by the General Government.
He alluded to the difficulties on the Rio Grande,
and advocated his Mexican protectorate, as
the best means of giving protection to our citi
zens. In regard to our Federal relations, he
said he did not think there was any danger to
this State; that when Texas came into the
Union, she knew of the antagonism between
the two sections of our country, and that

Mr.. Hill further explained, that this new par
ty might draw off gentlemen from the Peoples
party-gentlemen who, though acting with the
Republicans, had shown their nationality by
voting for Mr.. Gilmer.
Mr.. Underwood replied that they had shown
themselves to be sectional men by voting first
for Grow and then for Sherman. In conclusion
he eulogized the Democratic party, and said
that if the Southern Oppositionists would unite
with them, they could elect a conservative
Speaker.
Mr.. Morris, of Illinois, contended that the
President has changed his original position on
the question of slavery in the Territories, and
made a bid for Southern votes in the Charles
ton Convention.
When he had concluded, the House adjourned

Accordingly, at ten minutes past o'clock
the House adjourned.

SENATE


On motion by Mr, Sumner, a resolution was
adopted, directing the Committee on the Post Of
fee and Post Roads to inquire whether the pres
ent charges on letters carried by ocean steamers
are not unnecessarily large and burdensome,
operating as a check to commerce between the
two hemispheres, and especially as grievous tax
upon European emigrants seeking home in
the United States, and whether something may
not be done, aad if so, what, to secure the ben
efts of cheap ocean postage.
Mr. Powell introduced joint resolution au-
thorizing the president and directors of the
Louisville and Portland Canal Company to con-
struct branch canal from a suitable point on
the south side of the canal to point in the
Ohio river opposite Sand Island, sufficient to
pass the largest class Of steam vessels nayi-
eating the Ohio river; which was read twice,
and referred to the Committee on Commerce
On motion by Mr.. Yulee, resolution was adopt
cd, directing the Committee on the Post Office
and Post Roads to inquire into the practicability
of providing such system for the transmission
of money and valuable packages by the mails
as will furnish greater security, and to inquire
how far plan of money orders can be engraft-
ed upon the postal system of the country.
Mr.. Bigler introduced q bill to provide for
the suppression of invasion from one State or
Territory by or through another, and the fitting
out of military expeditions or enterprises in
one State or Territory against another, and for
the punishment of such offences; which was
read twice, and referred to the select commit
tee on the Harper's Ferry invasion.
The resolution of Mr.. Pugh was resumed,
and Mr.. Clingman took the floor, discussing
the slavery agitation in its present aspect, and
its effects on the country.
Mr.. Green presented the memorial OF the
Chamber of Commerce of st. Louis, praying the
establishment of branch mint in st. Louis.
The Senate went into Executive session, and
afterwards adjourned.
A point of order was raised on Friday by Mr.
Leake, as to the admissibility of Mr.. Penning-
toms plurality resolutions, and this morning it
was passed over informally.
Mr.. Underwood declared that he wanted a
united South, for the South demanded nothing
to which they are not entitled. While they are
not united, they become a prey to their enemies
As further argument, he said that if the South
had been united, the bill for the admission of
Kansas into the Union would have been passed,
and sufficient number of Democrats elected to
the House to have organized this body. he
gave as his opinion, that the Democratic party
is the hope of the country.
Mr.. Hill, having been engaged in a colloquy
with his colleague, said the new Union party
was predicated on the good sense of the Ameri-
can people, for the enforcement of all the laws.
Mr.. Underwood replied, that he would not
break down constitutional party at the North
to build upl 10 new party.

Hartford, Ct Jan. Al take pleasure in
adding my testimony TO the great value of the
Era since the lamented death of its late editor
whose memory is precious to all the Old and
trust the new abolitionists of the country, es-
pecially the former. He was equal to any and
every emergency, and with rare exceptions, his
wisdom was as great as his editorial ability and
accomplishments. / miss his acute, calm, and
philosophical editorials, of course but still the
Era has many excellences which commend il
to its old friends, and trust they all are unani
nous in the wish that its shadow-no, its light
may never be less. Such, at least, is the prayer
of yours truly, F.G.
Washington, Wayne County, a., Jan. lO.-l
wish you to change my paper from Mud Lick

know why have had to flee from my native

one of my neighbors ; the Shareholders found
it out, informed the authorities, and there was

Ohio is undoubtedly in favor of Gov. Chase
for the Presidency in 1860.
Since the first Monday in December, the
conservative men of the country have had am
pie evidence (if they never before had) TO en-
able them to know who are disunionists.
Under these circumstances, it remains to be
seen whether the Black Democracy will in 1860
enter the great canvass by sppropriating all

Mr.. Clemens was called to order. He said he
would suspend his remarks for the present.
Mr.. Hill and others continued the debate,
good order having been nearly altogether re-
stored. s
Mr.. Haskin made personal explanation as
to his having pistol in his possession, which
he said had accidentally fallen to the floor
while he was speaking. No one regretted the
occurrence more than he did. He lived in q
rather disorderly part Of the city, known as
English Hill, and only happened to have it
with him because he was out last night till past
IL o'clock. No one who knew him would be-
lieve him capable of using pistol or other arm
in any but an honorable way. He had never
seen the necessity of carrying arms until he
came to Washington, but he had learned that
there were occasions when every gentleman
was armed He did not carry the pistol for
the purpose of using it in this hall-God for
bid but for protection from assault in this
sometimes violent capital. He hoped the first
thing they did after the organization would be
to pledge every member, on his honor, to bring
no weapon into the hail.

Misunderstanding, and he apologized for it to
the House and to his colleague.
Messrs. Robinson of Illinois, and Riggs OF

RAISING CALVES.

John Johnston, in the Country Gentleman,
thus gives his method Of raising calves
When they are few days old, he commen-
ces giving them oil-cake or barley meal in
their milk. This is continued until they are
three and half or four months old, when they
are turned TO pasture. He thinks early cut
clover hay is better than pasture tor calves.
The following winter he gives them good
clover hay. with pint Of cil.cake meal each
per day. The next summer they have good
pasture. As soon as the pasture fails. they
are taken to the Yards and led hay and corn.
stalks. with the sddition Of two quarts Of uil-
cake meal per day 10 each cali. In this way
his calves realize him from sIS TO 500 each.
when twenty to twenty-four months old ;
whereas had they been raised on the COM
mon shifticss plan adopted BY many farm.
ers, ihey would not have been worth half
that sum.
A writer in the New England Farmer says
that ID. VI. CrOwell, of Massachusetts,. took
ten heifer calves last spring. and commenced
feeding them on sour milk at a few day old,
keeping them on the same kind of foo,i dur
ing the summer, taking good care 70 feed
