Neao Jersey Legistature.-This body
assembled at Trenton on Tuesday the
9th. A dispatch to the western jour
nails says:
The members of the House were all
sworn in, after which it adjourned, to
meet tomorrow morning, without elect
ing officers. The democrats and Anne
ricans have majority, and have some
difficulty in arranging their affairs.
The republicans had a majority of one,
and yet the democrats elected all their
officers. This was. done by the repub-
lican senator from Burlington voting
with the democrats. One of the rea-
sons alleged is, that a brother-in-law of
the senator was elected secretary of
the senate. The following are the
officers elected: President of the sen
ate, Edmund Perry, of Huntingdon /;
secretary, Joseph j. Sleeper, of Burl-
ington.

Capital Idle and Thousands out Of
EmpLoyment.-The Pittsburgh Post
says that in consequence of the present
depression of the times, and the derange-
ment of the finances and exchanges of
the country, those engaged in the coal
trade have found it necessary to forego
any operations at the present time, and
must suffer their investments to be idle
for the present. This they have been
compelled to do in self defence. The
result is painful one, for it will throw
thousands of people out of employment;
but the evil cannot be helped.

The Flare-up at Baton Rouge.-Re
garding the late ''trouble in the camp
of the soldiers at Baton Rouge, the
Gazette of Saturday says:
Yesterday, at the hour of marching
from the Boulevard to the barracks, to
take possession of the same, a mis-
understanding occurred, which gave
new vigor and new direction to the
already intense excitement. Of the
precise nature of the difficulty there are
conflicting statements, and the truth of
the matter will no doubt appear pre-
sently. 1t resulted in the resignation of
the Creole Guards, who marched at once
to the governors residence, and there
stacked their arms, Capt. Fremaux
and officers throwing up their commits
sions. The Pelicans left the ground
and were to have done the same, whilst
the West Baton Rouge, Pointe Coupee
and other companies, in no very plea
SAINT humor, at once left the town.
The New Orleans people marched up
leaving the country behind, and took
possession of the fort. So the matter
stands. We shall not anticipate the
next movement in the revolution.

Return Of the Charleston Laborers.-
The New York Herald of the 9Th,
says tho steamer Nashville from
Charleston, which arrived at this city
on Saturday morning, brought sixty of
the laborers discharged from the forts
by Major Anderson. The menappeared
to have been provided for in such a
manner as they should not find them
selves destitute on landing in New
York. In addition to & steerage pas
sage, they had sufficient funds to enable
them to reach their respective homes
in the North, whence they had previ-
ously gone to Charleston in search of
work. The only reason assigned for
their discharge was suspension of the
works progressing inCharleston harbor.

Keep Your Poacdey Dry and Your
Guns ~ Ordcr.-A1luding to the firing
of cannon at Little Rock, Ark, over
the secession of South Caroline, the
Gazette remarks: i
Every one to his own notion in this
country while it yet remains free !;
but we can't find it in our heart to
rejoice over an occurrence, which, at
best, is sad calamity to the country.
and the world And we would advise
our young friends to keep cool, keep
their powder dry and their guns in
order. IF we are not mistaken In the
signs of the times, the day Of carpet
knights, holiday soldiers, and the firing
of blank cartridges, has well nigh gone
by. All may soon be called upon to
witness the vicissitudes Of real war
and the stern actualities of soldiers
life. Therefore, we say, save your
temper, save your energy, and save
your ammunition.

Where limpid streams so softly flow
Down through the valleys rich and fair.
Onward! we'll marshal the hosts of the free,
Away on the beach of Southern Sea.
Onward. for wisdom's calm delay

And sweep Them down at a single blow.

Before the tempest Of iron hail.

Under the dusky cloud Of war,
Headlong hurl your host IN a storm,
Swift on the foe as falling star;

To herald The victory 10 the skies.
