GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.: 1 By authority of the Constitution and the voice of the people, expressed through the forms ot law, you are convened as the legislative depart I ment of the government of this State, to perform the high and important duties of revising and enacting laws for the protection of the rights 1 and interests of our citizens. | The condition of our country is critical, and the people demand that your deliberations and action be marked with frmness and courage, such as will evince your appreciation of the na- | ture and value of the government, and your de- termination to throw around them its protecting shield.
 1 While rebellion against the General Govern ment is ragging in some portions of the Union, and preventing the execution of the laws, it is @ cause for gratitude to God that the citizens of this State have ever manifested, and do still ar- dently cherish, spirit of loyalty to its author ity. This spirit has made our laws effectual to restrain the licentious, to protect the innocent, and to give a sense of security to all and so far as relates to interests over which the State has supreme authority, its benign influence has pre- served us free people. I shall at this time briefly notice some ques- tions of public importance, and during the ses- sion, call your attention to others which l find myself unable now to present, on account of the pressure of duties connected with the volunteer troops.

HsM. The Richmond Examiner, few days since, called upon Virginia and Maryland to rush in and drive out the Black Republicans from Washington. "Our people can take 1t, how's the Examiner, "they will take it--and Scott the Arch-Traitor, and Lincoln the Beast combined. cannot prevent it." The chivalric taste of these epithets is sufficient to indicate their Southern origin. No one but slavehold- CT could be o,rable of the fine ferocity of calling the President of the United States beast, or a terming the loyal and devoted Scott traitor.
 Now when the Examiner finds that there is but one feeling at the North, and that, '' death to traitors" there is "no idea of attacking Wash- ington." Oh, no These Virginia braggarts are suddenly frightened almost to death by the gleam of advancing bayonets.

BLAST AND AccIDENT.-The Eureka Compa-
ny let off blast of forty kegs of powder on Sat-
urday afternoon the effect of which was very diff
ferent from all former blasts in these claims.
The smoke and fame shot upwards in column,
tearing hole and scattering the top boulders in
every direction. Several were hurled into the
clouds and descended with terrific force. One
passed through the roof of a cabin located in the
basin of the claims, and encounteriug three
inch plank in its course, pierced it with the pre-
cision of a cannon ball and buried itself in the
earth underneath. Another was thrown to the
" Half Way House," distasee OF nearly half a
mile. A third struck Mr.. A. Schuller on the
feshy part of the hip, bruising him severely but
not seriously. One or two other persons were
hit and slightly wounded, while several very
narrowly escaped injury. A distant spectator of
the scene, says "the stones continued to descend
from the air in shower minute or two after
The explosion had been heard"

THE LIE CLAIR LAMP.-Ths elegant gas-burn-
er, which, for the first time is introduced by Capt.
Battersby to the people of the Pacific coast, is
no new invention. In its improved and perhaps
now perfected form, it has been used in the East
for several years past. We are glad to be able
to add our testimony to the certificates elsewhere
given. We have used the lamp in our family
four weeks, and find it all that could be desired.
1t requires no other cleaning than occasionally
to furbish the brass bowl, is used without glass
shade or chimney, is burned for three or four
years without change of wick, has to be filed
only two or three times a week, and gives soft,
steady light equal to four sperm candles. Next
to the brilliancy of this light, is its cheapness.
One gallon of the fluid with which it is supplied,
will burn as long as gallon and half of kero-
sine, at about half the cost. Those who have
night reading or writing to do, ought not to be
without it.

PAY YOUR ROAD TAx.-We are informed by
our Road Oyerseer that there are over two hun
dred persons delinquent in his District for road
tax, and that it is his intention to proceed next

in District No. Is, therefore to walk Immediately
up to the captains Office and settle, and thereby

will spare neither friend or foe, in making hi

MONSTER FLAG STAFF.-The other day Messrs.
C. Schardn and T. G. Smith went into the pine
forests and cut two magnificent poles, which are
to be spliced, ship-mast fashion, and erected in
front of the formers saloon, for the reception of
the stars and stripes. The largest of these poles
now lies in the Main street, undergoing prepara-
tion for the grand raising, which will probably
take place in the beginning of the coming week.
The length of the pole when completed, will be
l40 feet.

FAMILY BEvERAGE.-Families are at last be-
ginning to find out the excellent nature of Kochs
lager beer as healthful and strengthening bev-
erage-a discovery made by us some time ago.
For the accommodation of all such, the bottled
article is superior, we'll for the limited quaint
ties in which it may be purchased, the length of

its cheapness, body and superior favor.

THE FLAG MANIA.-Our people are becoming
affected with the flag epidemic, which prevails to
such an enthusiastic extent in the cities of the
coast and valleys. A self-constituted committee
last week obtained upwars of hundred dollars
to be invested in large flag, which has been
sent for to San Francisco, and when received
here, will be flung to the breeze from some prom
fnent point, where its glories may be witnessed
of men whose loyal hearts shall thrill to behold it.
splendid banner will also surmount the gil
ant flagstaff to be erected in front of Mr.. Schar-
din's saloon. One already waves proudly over
the center of the Main street, at height of over
a hundred feet and we understand that so soon
as Messrs. Pearson & Merwin procure a
suitable staff, they intend raising beautiful
flag over the Union Hotel. We have also heard
that some of the ladies of the town have caught
the flag contagion, and will hang the stars and
stripes out from the windows, balconies, etc.. of
their private residences.
There is spice of patriotism about this move
ment which every lover of his country must ap-
preciate and admire, and we are gratifed to see,
That the example elsewhere so nobly set, has been
here so generally followed.

We return thanks also to Mr.. Warren Heaton

THE MARTINErTI TRouPE.-When a mere
lad, the brilliant acrobatic and pantomimic ex-
plots of the wonderful Gabriel Ravel, excited on
our mind an impression so lasting, that even
unto this day, the remembrance has not been
defaced. Gabriel, it is true, waxed old and re-
tired from the stage; but his mantle descended
upon the Martinetti, who smite with its hem, and
cause to spring forth from concealed foun-
tain, all those semi-miraculous feats of strength,
posturing, dancing, balancing, besides sudden
and inconceivable transformations, which always
startle the beholder, and at times make the hair
on his head rise to PERPENDICULAR! Well, these
Martinetti are to exhibit among on Monday
and Tuesday evenings next. This will be an
agreeable interruption to the monotony of the
town, which, for the want of some kind of stir
ring public amusement, has been rapidly 'going
to grass" and we have no doubt but the extern
sive pavilion of the troupe will be crowded to
overhowing with hosts of men, women and chill
tren, who will come in from all portions of the
surrounding country to witness their marvellous
performances.
