THE EVENING STAR,

The vet trees hang above the walks
Purple with damp and earthish stains.

With TOse-lesves from the Wild grown sta KS
Unknown. In heavy, tar led swaths,
The ripe June grass u w8nton blown;
Srails slime the untToddsn threshoia stohes
Along the sills hang drovsy moths
Do n the black vlsags Of the wall,
Where many q vaveTing trace appears
Like q for often trace Of tears,
From sv olen esg es the slow drops crawl.
Where eve.y thing was wide before,
The curious Wind that comes and goes,
FINDS al the ls.tIced windows c.ose,
Secret and Dose the boted door.
And with the shrevd and curious wind,
That IN the archsd doorway cries,
And at the bolted portal tries,
And herks and listens at the blind
Forever turks my thought about.
And in the ghostly midd e-night,
Ein1s Gil the hidden window bright,
And sees the guests go in and out
And fingers tall the psllid dawn,
hud feels the my stery deeper there
In Ellent, gust swept chambers, bare.
With al the midnight revel gone;
Blu. vanters through the lonesome rooms,
Where harsh the astonished orioket calls.
Vanishing, stare unshapen glooms;
And fingers yet, and cannot come
Out OF the drear ard desoat place,
So full OF ruins solemn grace.
And haunted with the ghost Of home.

Kentucky Legislature Extra Ses-
sion.

FRANKFORT, NY. Jan. lI.-The IegIs-
iature assembled III extra session to-day.
Governor Magoifin, IN his message, asks
the Legislature to express their approoa-
ton OF Critrenden's resolutions. He says
eight States will have seeded before their
deliberations close: that Tennessee has
referred the whole subject to her people,
and Virginia and North Carolina are dis
cussing the proprlety of a similar course,
and Missouri seems likely to adopt II sim
liar policy.
He submits to the Legislature the pIo-
priety of providing for the election OF
delegates to Convention, TO assemble at
an early day, to determine the future in
ter-State and Federal relation of Ken
lucky. Meanwhile he would leave no ex-
pertinent untried to restore fraternal rela.
tions between the States.
He recommends Convention of the
border slave States, to meet early IN Feb
ruary, at Baltimore.
The Governor says the nasty and iucon
siderate action OF the seeding States doe,
not meet our approval, but Kentucklan'
will never stand by with folded arms whic
these States, struggling for tier constitu
tional rights, are being sublugated 10 a,
anti-slavery Government.
The Governor asks the Legislature tc
declare, by resolution, their uncondition
al disapprobation of the employment o
force, in any form, against the secedin!
States.
lie asks appropriations for arming anc
equipping volunteer militia.

The Action of the Governor of Mis-
sissippi with regard to passing
Steamers,

The telegraph informs us that the Gov
ernor Of Mississippi has ordered a detach
meht of artillery TO Vicksburg to hail
passing boats. We have always supposed
that the free navigation of the Mssissip-
pi River was an undisputed fact, and
therefore il puzzles us not a little to un-
derstand why Governor Pettus assumes
the authority to order any steamboats, to
heave-to and, perhaps, submit to exam
| ination and conf cation. 1t may be that
Mississippi in view of her financial en-
barrassments. has determined to emulate
Denmark, make Vicksburg a second FL
sineur and collect Sound Dues. The
State has no money: her last legislature
refused to impose taxes for the purpose
of military organization or preparations
| for defence, and the members of that
| Legislature have not been able to get their
! services cashed Under these circumstan-
ces. n levy of black-mail. after the fashion
| of the ieudal chiettains on the river
| Rhine, would be quite convenience to
| the Pettus cxchequer. IL we are not cor.
rect in our suggestions as to the motive
for this hailing of passing boats, we car
| form no other theory of the cause. Ten
nessee and Kentucky have some right tc
know what it all means, and are deter
mined that Mississippi shall not make it
self greater than both by the all hai

tude the explanation of this mysteriou.

forgotten the Iraternal interest which has

citizens to carry their slave property into

Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG. Pa. Jan. 15.--The inau-
guration of Gov. Curtin occurred this
morning. His address Is frank and man.
ly. He pledges himself to stand by the
Constitution against incroachments insti-
gated by hatred or ambitious ianaticism
and folly. He says the election of Presi-
dent has been made a preteXt for disturb
ing the peace of the country, by wrestling
from the Federal Government the power
the people conferred on it when the Con-
stitution was adopted There was moth
ing in the life or acts of Mr.. Lincoln to
warrant that his administration will be
unlriendly to the State or local nsttu-
tons. Nothing has occurred to justify
the excitement which has blinded the
judgment of part of the people, and
which is now precip;tating them into rev.
oluiion He says if Pennsylvania has laws
infringing the rights of any State, or that
contravene any Federal law or ordinance,
they ought to be repealed. She never
has faltered in the recognition of all the
duties imposed by the National Compacts,
and will, by every act consistsnt with de-
votion to the interests of her people, pro-
mote fraternity ald peace between the
States. When her trade was prostrated
her industry paralvzed by legislation OF
the General Government. iavoring adverse
! interests, Pennsylvania waited patiently
! for another Opportunity to declare the
/ public will in Constitutional manner.
| At the State election protection to la.
Dor was the great principle inscribed on
the banner OF his party. Yet she has nc
| design to interfere with or abridge the
rights of other States. Though the State
has suffered from adverse legislation, nc
voic" cf di"i" ya,,t;y OF treason, nor arm has
been raised to strike at the sacred fabric
of our national Union. 1t will be our du
ty TO unite with the people of the loyal
States in Just and honorable measures ot

Government to stay the progress Of an
archy and enforce the laws, and Pennsyl

Sensible and Cons,liatorv

The New York journal Of Commerce, in
the course of an article upon the position
of affairs in the Government, says:
The most difficult question to be deter.
mined by the statesmen of today, Is what
shall be done now? The President has
declared that until some new action of
Congress, he has "no alternative. as the
chief executive officer under tho Consti.
tuition Of the United States. but to collect
the public revenue and protect the public
property, so far MS this may be practicabl
under existing laws" At the same time.
he urges upon Congress the necessity of
immediate action, whereby may be secur.

alone have power to conform the action

more needful because events of n start
