LIST. 1t comes at much lower price, consid-
ering what it is capable of doing.
I'd. 1t is far more simple in construction, and
therefore less liable to get out of order.
Sd. 1t contains only half as many reeds as
other instruments of the same power, and con-
sequently not half the expense to keep it in
tune.
4th. 1t is much more easily managed by the
player, being less complicated in the arrange
ments of stops, &c.
1t may he bowed by the player or with lev
er by another person
The Harmonic Organ has also fine, powerful
Pedal Base with reeds entirely disconnected
from the other part of the instrument. Making
altogether an instrument Of nearly as much
power as a thousand dollar Pipe Organ.

them; but your commissioners do not
consider that the legislature intended to
confer upon them, by the act appointing
them, the power to institute and prose-
cute suits in behalf OF the State and en-
ploy counsel at the expense of the State;
and whether they ought to have such a
power is for the legislature to deter
mine.
The Burlington farm was mortgaged
to one Nathan Stearns of Burlington, for
the unpaid purchase money, which is
about 81 900.
The chairman of this commission re-
quested the said Stearns to collect the
rents, which are $500 year, and apply
it upon the mortgage debt, which be
agreed to do.
Said Stearns has brought foreclosure
upon the mortgage and obtained decree
which is not entered on the docket, but
will expire in April, 1862. The farm is
worth about $4,000, and the steps ne
cessary to be taken to protect the interest
of the state therein, must be determined
by the legislature, and power given to
pay the decree, If necessary.
Suits have been instituted by the states
Attorney of Washington County, against
said Bates and all his sureties upon all
the bonds of the late Treasurer, and the
same are now pending in the Court in
Washington County. Upon these suits
the property of the sureties (who had
any was attached A suit has also been
instituted by said States Attorney in
favor of the State against said Bates and
p. Belknap, declaring against them as
co.partners, and your commissioners are
of opinion that they are liable as such to
the State for the money taken and used
by them to purchase property on joint
account.
Said Beknap has transferred large
part of bis visible property, to prevent
the State from reaching it by attach
ment
Whether the State will lose all or any
portion Of the money so taken from the
Treasury, depends upon the result of the
litigation already in process, and such
means as may be used to enforce the
rights of the State. There is no pros
pect that the parties will voluntarily do
anything, which will be just or satisfac-
tory to the State.
Your commissioners have received no
propositions which they could regard as
advantageous to the State to accept, and
they have not discharged any of the
sureties of said Bates nor do your COM
missoners find that any of the innocent
sureties Of said Bates are suffering on
account of any suits against them in be-
half OF the State.
Your commissioners have taken large
amount of testimony, but they are Of
opinion that the interests of the state re-
quire that it should not be made public
at present, but it will be available in the
prosecution Of parties connected with the
defslcation of the late treasurer; yet
your commissioners, being servants of
the state, will be subject to the direction
of the General Assembly.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Capture of Mason and Slidell.


The news announced in our telegraphic
column Of the capture of the rebel min
listers to England and France, is almost
too good to be true. Besides, there is
mystery to be cleared up about the mo
dns operandi. tits stated that they were
taken by the steamer San Jacinto from
an English steamer near the Bahamas.
We do not exactly see how this could be
done, either through the compulsory ef-
forts Of our officers, or the voluntary ef-
forts of those in command of the British
vessel. But if we were satisfied that
,be thing had really been done, we should
ut once infer that so good a thing had
been well done.
Taking that view for moment, what
could be finer than the capture and forci-
BILE return of Messrs. Mason and SlidelI
Just at this time? They went out with
ne little state, with full complement OF
secretaries, attaches, and friends, in or
der to give eclat to their evasion of the
blockade, as capital TO work with at Pa
ris and London. The men themselves
were selected with great care in view Of
their respective missioDs--the arisiocratic
pomposity OF Mason being supposed to
fit him for the naughty court Of 81 James,
while the boosted slyness of SIidell was
10 be brought TO bear upon the heart OF
the Emperor Napoleon with the success
of Hobbs in picking "a bank lock. What
Yancey aud Rost couldn't do, Mason and
Slidell could, would, and should do, and
thus pass out of the potential into the
imperative mood.
They made skllful start, Snd they
had pleasant resting time in Cuba,
Resuming their voyag" towards the white
cliffs of Albion, the first land they make
is dear old Virginia-wbch Mr.. Mason
is not at all glad to see-and the Hotel
de Monroe stands ready to receive them.
II it we're not so disrespectful, we should
say that this feat Of the rebel ministers
reminds us OF the story Of the puzzled
pig which made so much fun in the news
papers few years ago. He discovered
a hollow log, very crooked, in the corner
Of his pen, and thought he would pass
through into an adjoining clover lot. SO
ne worked his way along until he emerg-
ed into daylight, but was immensely puz-
zled to find himself in his own pen again.
There the analogy ends. The pig tiled
it again and then ran away in terror
Messrs. Mason and Slidel will not have
the privilege of trying again, and they
will not be permitted to run away.
There is a court down in Boston har-
bor--select if not aristocratic, and much
frequented by the friends OF these disap-
pointed ambassadors. There is room for
two more with their full suites. There
Mr.. Mason can behold Bunker Hill Mon
ument, where he made himself somewhat
conspicuous on a certain occasion few
years ago. There John SIidell can rest
bis over-worked faculties for mischief.
The Southern Confederacy can get along
just as we'll with them there as any where.
