the Central Railroad, between Buffalo and
Albany. As soon, says the Express, as it was
ascortaiued that Mr. Page was q Northern

which the character of his business could sug-
gest The deceased had been possessed of a
considerable sum in cash, but by some means
this was secured BY 6 seli-constituted commit

How the Missouri Legislature Received

Row the MiBsOurl Legislature KecoiYed
Secession Envoy.
The reception of Mr.. Russell, commissioner
from Mississippi to Missouri, by the Legisla-
ture of the latter State on Saturday, is thus
described by the St. Louis Democrat:
But now transpired the most humiIating
scene that has yet occurred in this secession
movement. The Lieut.. Governor, who never
loses an occasion of displaying his newly fedg-
ed and accidental dignity, who, ''clothed in a
little brief authority, plays sucl frantic tricks
before high heaven as make the angels weep"
ordered the members of the General Assembly
to rise to their feet when the presence of the
commissioner from Mississippi was announced.
This act OF homage was never before required
in the General Assembly of the State OF Mis-
souri,, or ever performed. The Lieut.. Cover
nor did not even accord it to the present Gov
ern0r, TO whom he owes his present position,
on the occasion Of his Inauguration. The hot
Indignant blood leaped to the cheek Of every
friend of the Union at this base homage to the
secession power, and to a man of no power
intellect, ability or prestige.
Mr.. Stevenson Of St. Louis, demanded ofthe
Lieutenants Governor ifthe General Assembly
were required to do homage to a pOtentats.
Mr.. Reynolds replied: g The member isout
of order, and must take his seat"
The member demurTed.
Mr. Reynolds reiterated his order to take
bis seat.
Mr.. Stevenson offered to read the rules of
the House, in which no act Of homage is re-
quired.
Mr.. Reynolds changed his OTder to a Tegusat
Mr.. Stevens having gained his point, sat
down.
The Commissioner made his appearance, es-
eorted by the joint and was warm
ly welcomed by the Lieutenant-GoTernOr
Not more than half the members did him the
homage 10 rise-Hoto one Of the 81. LouiS DEL

How the Troops Live.

- The Charleston correspondent of the Balti-
more Exchange writes that the troops are
comfortably quartered in the vacant unfur-
nished houses, though one or two companies,
fearing suppose, that it will be sometime
before they get another military holiday,
have preferred to camp out in tents. 1t was
quite as good as a play to see some of their
attempts at washing dirty shirts and cooking
victuals. In the houses the men were as
merry as criekets, cracking their jokes and
wishing fora fight. Many of the poor fell
lows were laid up with bad colds-inCeed it
was frightful to hear some of them cough.

A Washington correspondent of the n. Y.

now between South Carolina and the gov
eminent is entirely satisfactory 7
Is it2 Well, if the Government is entirely
satisfied, the people are not. They have a
slight objection to the Forts in Charleston
harbor being in the hands Of the disunionists
who are anxious to turn their engines Of war
against the Federal Government. They are
not well pleased with the fact that Northern
citizens must run the gauntlet of FIRE aLd
rope, if they would pursue their ordinary
business south Of Mason and Dixon's Line
They would prefer to have their friends or ac-
quaintances at the South, at liberty to
write to them, without fear Of their letters
being detained and examined by Vigilance
Committees, OF self-imposed commissioner"
They would be better suited, if their goods
could % quietly down the Mississippi river
to their destination, without being brought

Vicksbdfg bluff by order Of Gov. Pettus Of
Mississippi They would feel more brOtherly
love if they could collect the debts due them at
the South for manufactured articles which

which to fight these very creditors. In short
the people OF the North are not quite as
pliable, OrsO easily pleased, as the executive

Before the election of Lincoln, terrible

But spite of all this, New York city and
Northern railroads are full of business, and
the same New York Herald, which grew
frantic ever the picture of desolation which
it drew, now writes as follows of the 9 Ktra-
ordinary prosperity:
"The harvest never was so abundant, and
the prosperity Of the country never rose to so
high a pitch, as during the last year. The

This course is calculated, if not intended, to

irritation in South Carolina, and she was

SAITH OF AFFAIRs AT THE SOUTH.

Accounts by travellers Of the condition of
things in the Southern States are anything
but satisfactory. A New Hampshire gentle
man, who voted for Mr. Lincoln, has just re-
turned from a perilous journey through the
South, having narrowly escaped il-treat-
ment. he gives frightful picture of the
exasperated state of the public mind towards
Northerners who esuspeeted of republican,
ism. In all public places, in railway cars,
Steamboats,, hotels, saloons, &C., it is as much
as mans life is worth for him to avow he
wouldvote tor Lincoln. One mode of dis
posing of suspected persons, ffouId on rail-
way trains, says our informant, is to stop the
cars midway in some dismal swamp, and
turn the poor fellows adriit, prey to starva-
ton if they escape the bloodhounds. So in
famed is the Southern mind against the
Yankees, that there is no hope for reconciI-
iation until some of the bad and bitter blood
has been let out
