seizure OF WashInrton,

An article which we republlsh this morn
ing from the Baltimore Patriot, makes
light of the rumors of an attack on the
Federal Capital. We print it in order
that the improbabilitiss MS well as likoli-
hood of such an event may be set FORTH
Our own belief is, that the seizure Of Wash
iugtOn is really contemplated. Whether
such a design will ever succeed, must Ge-
pend very largely on the steps taken to
repel any attaek-for if prompt and ade-
quate steps are taken in advance by the
Government, an assault may never be
made, though without doubt the design
has been long entertained. The telegraph
informs us this morning, that the President
says he has positive information of such n
plot. 1t is said, too, that some 5000 or
1000 desperate characters are organized
in Baltimore, ready for anything that may
promise pay. In view OF these things
vigilance in guarding the Capital Of the
Republic is important. "A strong force
ought to be concentrated there.

Exhibit ng an increase in one year in the
nett results of our domestic industry of
nearly 100 per cent. Certainly, then, if we
have not of late doubled our numbers
annually, we have clearly acquired sounder
views Of domestic and political economy.
While reviewing the progress and im-
provemeut of the past year, it is fitting to
speak with proper commentator of the
labor of your immediate predecessors.
They reduced the number of members
composing the Legislature nearly one-half,
and provided for the submission to the
people of an amendment to the Constitution,
limiting the sessions of the Legislature to
sixty days; which amendment, am glad
to say, was ratified by a very large majority.
These two measures will effect reduction in
the Legislative expenses of at least 1927 900,
over the average hitherto.
In remodelliDg the system of Town and
County organization, their legislation has
been found to give to these corporations
both more efficient and cheaper governments.
They also, in many other respects, re-
duced the current expenses Of the state gov
eminent; and they wisely limited the rate Of
allowable taxation by counties and towns.
Recognizing the fact that the assessments OF
previous years were made confeesedly at
speculative and fancy rates; and that there
had been no limit assigned by law, and al

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Gentlemen of the Senate and House Of Repre-.
sentGttUes: i
1t is permitted me, in presenting the Gus
tomary communication " touching the con-
dition and state OF the country" to con.
graduate yon on the very considerable and
happy improvement in the condition and
circumstance, both of our people and the
State. III 0-- 10
The financial liabilities of our citizens
existing since the fall of 1857 are in great
degree liquidated, or provided for. Upon
no community, probably, could the immedi.
ate effect of the difficulties of that year,
have been more serious or severe. And no
people have made greater exertions and
greater sacrifices to meet their obligations
than the citizens of Minnesota. Applying
themselves to the task with hopeful CON
fidence characteristic of the Northwest, and
an energy which our very air seems to in-
spire and make universal, they have been
largely successful, and very early period
would have witnessed, but for the present
Fictitious commercial arrangement, an
almost complete revival Of business and the
return Of general prosperity. Upon these
efforts of our own, benign Providence,
which ever seems to favor those who strive,
has smiled its blessings, peace, health and
plentyI
The population Of the State was estima-
ted in my communication to the Legisla.
ture of January, 1860, at one hundred and
eighty thousand. The United States Gen.
sus, taken in June of that year, shows the
number of inhabitants to have been about
one hundred and seventy>six thousand.
The immigration during the summer
months of families seeking farms and homes,
considerably added to the number, but our
present population cannot safely be estima-
ted above two hundred thousand.
The total assessed value of the taxable
property Of the State in 1859, was $685.
564,492.70. The total valuation in 1860,
as equalized by the State Board, is $780,
673,879.47. From the Bureau of Stats
tics, which, though established but few
months, is proving itself of an Importance
and value that confirm the wisdom of its
organization, the following statements are
obtained, showing the condition and results
of the agriculture of the State during the
past year, as estimated by the Commissioner
from the partial returns received by him up
to the present date:

The wise reduction of the number of
members of the Legislature, and the limita-
tion of their session to sixty days, will work
a very satisfactory retrenchment of expenses,

Subtracting from this total the railroad
lands which must pass in the ordinary course
to the management of private corporations
we have, then, at the disposal of the Legis-
lature for the promotion of education, inter
nal improvements, and eleemosynary purpo-
ses, nearly eight millions of acres of public
lanos-more than one seventh of the whole
area of the state-Gn Emporium in imperio

ceeds the combined area of the states Of
Massachusetts ard Connecticut.
Of this magnificent grant, the great gift
of the nation to all the millions who are to
inhabit the soil of Minnesota, you are stew
ards in their behalf, and it devolves upon you
to see that the sacred trusts involved are
faithfully executed.
In asking you to consider the expediency
of inaugurating the practical supervision of
this vast landed interest, 1 feel deeply soli-
citous that your legislation upon the subject
may be honorably distinguished from that of
neighboring States, by an adequate appre,
citation of the mOmentous interests involved.
The precedent which you shall establish,
will 60 far to shape the future policy of the
State in this regard, and therefore upon YOU
will depend, in great measure, whether
these vast estates, consecrated to the noblest
aspirations of free people,-to Education,
which is the root of liberty, and to Charity
which is its fruit, shall be husbanded with
a wise and statesmanlike economy. or
squandered with a blind improvidence-
whether the Institutions to be built upon
these ample foundations shall be forecast to
the broad measure of our destiny, or stunted
in their germ by selfish eagerness for pre-
mature results.
Consider the prodigious capabilities which
lie enveloped in these eight million acres of
fertile lands.
There are nearly three million acres of
School Lands alone. In fifty years from
now this should yield an annual revenue,
which, with total relief from taxation,
should raise our educational system above
the level Of that OF any State in the Union.
There are estimated to be FIVE million acres
of Swamp Lands, three. fiiths of which are
probable available to agriculture. There
are, besides, the Univertity, Capitol and
Salt Spring Lands, and the five per cent.
fund. The product of these rich reserves,

1900, 600 bushels, the surplus in that arti-
Gle alone will be 100000 bushels, of which
3,l5O,OOO bushels yet remain in the coun.
try. AS our other farm products are raised
mainly for domestic consumption, they do
not form important items of export.
The value of the products exported from
Minnesota in 1859, was estimated at two
million dollars. The exportable surplus OF

We notice under the above heading a para
graph in the Washington Dispatch OF May
Doth, statement that the schooner Ul(et s.
Robbins. Capt Munroe, from the West Indies,
bound for New York, had been taken by a
marty of the Washington Grcys now Stationed
at Portsmouth From information which has
reached us direct from Beacon Island we arc
enabled to state that our contemporary Is IN
error as to the facts of the case. The schoon-
CT. outward bound, was first boarded by one OF
the Pilot boats attached to the work on the
Island by order Of Capt. Jones of this city, on
Saturday morning the 25th, the same day that
the advance party of the Greys reached Ports
mouth. Th re not being a sufficient force on
the Island to man the boat with at the time,
the Captain of the vessel disregarded the dl
rections given him by the Pilot and held on
for New York The following mornln how
ever he crossed the bar and came to anchor
nearly midway between Beacon Island and
Portsmouth. He was first boarded by Capt
Acnew, of the \. C. Engineers, who demanded
his papers and discovering from them tina
both vessel and cargo were Northern property
detained him as prize. In answer to Capt
Acnew's queries he stated that when Satur
dav night came on-the weather being squal
". the lights out and the buoyS gOne-he los
his way, got into shoal water, and, fearful o
running ashore, resolved to return and take
Pilot when the weather moderated. This Capt
Acnew informed him could not be permitted AM
so the matter ended.
The Washington Greys arrived at their pres
cnt quarters the day following and will with
out doubt serve their county we'll and nobl
sohen Mey get a chance, but this chance di

nothing whatever to do with the affair. S
