Illinois Legislature.

CHICAGO, January THE Legislature met
at Springfield to-day. The House adjourned
without effecting an organization.
Governor Woods Message will probably
be delivered to- morrow.
In il he recommends a complete recon-
struction of the present military plan, di-
yiding the State into three divisions, of
battalion, regimental and brigade formation
that the most liberal legislative encourage
ment be given for the formation Of volunteer
companies throughout the State.
He recommends that the Banks be required
to secure their circulation exclusively by
United States and Illinois stocks.
He says if grievances to any portion Of our
confederation have arisen within the Union,
let them be redressed within the Union if
unconstitutional laws encroaching upon the
guaranteed rights of any of our sister
States have found place upon our statute
books, let them be removed; if prejudice and
alienation toward any of our fellow country
men has fastened upon our minds, let it be
dismissed and forgotten; lei us be just to
ourselves and each other, allowing neither
threats to drive us from what we deem to be
our duty, nor pride of opinion prevent US
correcting wherein we may have erred.
The first business after the organization
of both Houses, will probably be the election
of United States Senator.

worthy self denial, succeeded in so doing.
His son, q young man of eighteen or nine

clivity TO free loveism, became acquainted
with his parents cast. off Mistress and as
sumed the position her father had occupied.
Not content with this, he instigated her
to bring suit against his father for Illicit
fatherhood-she had a child two years old,
reputed TO be her early protector's-and so
adroitly arranged and managed the matter
that his father, rather than have his hcen-
tious lapses exposed in public courts, paid
his ex-mistress large sum by way of COM
promise.
These ill-gotten gains, the fast youth
shared with the partner of bis guilt it'll said,
and actually congratulated himself upon the

Message of GoYerper Letoh

Message of Governor Letoher.
RICHMOND, Va, January 7.-Governor
Letchers Message, alluding to the condition
Of the country, says all see, know and feel
that danger is imminent, and all true patriots
are exerting themselves to save US from i'm
pending perils. He renews his proposition
in his last Message for Convention of all
the States, and says it is monstrous to see a
Government like ours destroyed merely be-
cause men can not agree about domestic
institution. 1t becomes our State to be
mindful of her own interests disruption is
inevitable, and if confederations are to be
formed, we must have the best guarantees
before we can attach Virginia to either. He
condemns the hasty action of South Caro-
lima, which has taken her Southern sisters
by surprise. He would make no special
reference to her course had he not been in
vited to do so by her late Executive in an
uncalled for reference to Virginia. The free
States fear the present condition of affairs,
and if the Union is disrupted upon them
rests the solemn responsibility.
He alludes at length TO their aggressions,
and says they have the power to end the
strife and restore confidence. Will they do
it2 He awaits their response, not without
apprehensions. He says overt acts should
be based upon wrongs done our own people
He proposes q State Convention, and sug-
gests that a Commissioner of two of the
most discreet statesmen visit the Legisla-
lures of the States which have passed per-
sonal liberty bills, and insist on unoondi.

The Governor further says he will regar

The Invention of Pneumatic Railways
and Tubes.

The Invention of Pneumatic Railways
and Tubes.
Some Improvements have been made in
the plan of conveying passengers, goods,
parcels or letters by means of atmospheric
agency through tubular railways. Accord
ing to the proposed plan, the rails, grooves,
OF trans constituting the way, are contained
in tunnels or tubes, and the traffic is carried
on within and through these, the carriages
upon and in which the traffic is placed, rest
ing and moving Immediately upon, and
being directed in their motion by these rails,
grooves or trans. For propelling and work.
ing the train of carriages, pneumatic press
ure is applied over the whole transverse
area of the carriage, by rarifying and expell-
ING the air in front of the train. For this
purpose, pump, worked by steam power is
employed, by preference, one upon the prin-
cipie Of the fan, in which the air is expelled
or pumped out by the action of centrifugal
force.
The peculiar features of this invention ap-
pear to be-a pneumatic railway or tube in
which the carriages are placed inside the tun-
mel or tube, but are Independent of these,
being wholly supported, and in their motion
| guided and directed BY two or more rails
grooves or trans, and in which the pneu-
matte pressure is applied over the whole or
transverse area Of the carriage; contriV-
ance for filling up with soft material the space
between the interior Of the tunnel and the
! outside of the carriage the arrangement of

with valves and shafts or air passages and
| the use of several smaller or branch air pass
/ aces leading into the tube at different points,
either with OF without the self acting valves,
so as gradually TO reduce she velocity Of the

YOUNG AMERICA DONG THE 'RoMEo."--A
little boy of six years, whose father is rather
fast, and somewhat addicted to gallantry-
outside of the domestic circle, of course
having heard his parent often speak Of
women and his flirtations with them, and
having caught the spirit of his talk, re-
marked, last Sunday, to his Sabbath.school
teacher, very pretty girl of seventeen, with
an exceedingly sapient and self-important
air:
YOUR Ia class ' for six 's months now, and you've
never kissed me once. When are you going
to2 You're pretty, you know, and pretty
women are in my line;" accompanying the
closing remark with wink and contrac-
ton Of his little brow that, to those who
witnessed it, was vastly amusing.
This, it seems to us, would make good
illustration for Vanity Fair or Punch under
the name of Young America in an amor
Gus mood.

RELIGIOUS GARDENING AND ITS SUCCESS.
Out in Illinois lived, side by side, two neigh
bors, who differed in their religious senti-
ments. One was a believer in Methodism
and the other was what is termed an infidel.
They were both fsnd Of gardening, and very
successful they were, though the infdel
would work his ON Sunday, greatly to the
annoyance of his pious neighbor, who was
endeayoring to convince him that his garden
would do better if cultivated on week days.
To this the infdel strongly demurred, and
proposed to test it. They agreed, therefore,
to make beds for certain vegetable on Sat
urday-the infdel to plant on Sunday and
the Methodist on the Monday following-the
cultivation to be equalized as near as possible.
This was done. The season grew apace,
and it turned out that the Methodists veg
etables ripened and came out on the table full
a week before the infdeps greatly to the
surprise of the latter.
II was afterward revealed, however, in q
quiet way, much to the heterodoxists relief,
that his Methodist neighbor had taken the
precaution to soak his seed over the Sunday
before planting.
