DErRoIT. Mich, Jan. Am extra session
of the Michigan Legislature convened ut
Lansing yesterday. The Governors mes
sage suggests liquidation Of the direct
Federal tax by releasing the Federal Gov
eminent from rcinlbursiug the State, on
account of war expenses, oan equal amonnt.
Tweuty4fuur thousand men have been
furnished 10y Michigan for the war, Of which
ten regiments for three years, one battery
of artillery and one regiment of three
mouths volunteers have been raised at the
expense OF the State, costing $3.50, 900,
OF which $4,000 have been refunded by
| the United States Government. In view of
the manifest disposition Of foreign powers
to mtcrmeddlc in our domestic affairs, he
recommends that provisions be made for
the organization and uniform Of the militia
10 constitute an active force and the speedy
enrolment to be subject 10 draft at any
time, and while not iav0ring the erection
ot extensive iurtlhCatiOns, he advises tho
legislature TO urge upon Congress the i'm
mediate necessity OF establishing, at some
convenient point in tho Northwest an
arsenal and lnanuiactory of arms and muni-
tons OF war. and also q naval station, to be
located in Michigan, as being most advan-
/ tageous, both from extent of her coast and
unrivaled resources for ship building.
IN ah,ling 10 national affairs lie attributes
our complications abroad aud trouble at
home to inactivity OF the army, and says
! the people viii not tamely submit to see
our armies used to protect slave property
of rebels, when the most active means
should be taken to suppress the rebellion.

A TerribIe ContriyauCe,

with fire-shell invented 10y one Of the
citizens of that place, the peculiarly OF
which consists in the Introduction Of small
quantity Of petroleum, or native rock oil,
the fearful inAamabilty Of which is well
known The explosion Of the shell ignites
and scatters the oil far and wide. wrapping
everything in the vicinity in flames so fierce
that it is almost impossible to extingush
them. Water has no effect upon the Ere
thus created, and it can only he subdued by
some smotheying process, which is not easi-
ly applicable to the wide spread conaagra-
tion produced by the explosion of the oil
charged shell. In tho experiments made at
Meadville, piles of wood and acres Of grass
and brush were consumed by the terrible
contrivance. ltis said that the government
has ordered trial Of this shell TO be made
by the officers of the Michigan, at Erie, and
in case they pronounce favorable verdict
upon It, will order an extensive manufac-
tue Of them.

MUSINGS AT THE CLOSE OF TIE
YEAR 1851.


Another year has closed to-day,
Its blessings all are fed
The long bright days have passed away,
And il is with the dead
And where are now the friends of yorc
Go ask the dying year
Some slumber with the silent dead,
A few still linger here.
Earth's changes ! oh how swift they come
On eagle wings they speed,
Loved ones drop silently away
And hearts with anguish bleed.
But smiles soon wrcathc the soddencd brow,
And laughter swclls the heart,
And music chants a joyous lay,
Which bids our tears depart.
Aud sunshine .riehtcns all the earth,
Which lately seemed so sad,
And brings to view some hidden flower,
Which makes our spirits glad.
And are we better now, than when,
The closing year begun?
Better, than when one year ago,
We unused of joys to come?
Our lives are vain, if no good works
Have left their impress here
Then let us strive for future good,
And better grow each year.

in sight The conductor denied all knowledge uf
the loss but civilly allowed her to examine the con
veyauee. No success attended the search. Some
passenger must have discovered the lost treasure,
and retained It,
Further inquiries were useless All that remain
ell to be done was to advertise the loss in the pub
lie papers, and trust to the honer of the finder 70
restore the money on the promise Of a considerable
reward.
Crushed aud dispiiited, Ellen returned to the
house, which, but a few hours before, she had en-
tered with such different feelings.
After restless night, she rose carly next morn
ing, and, scarcely taking norsel Of break
fast, prepared an advertisement for insertion
in the Tpcs also small hsndbill for circulation in
the neighborhood. In both an earnest appeal was
made TO the finder to prevent most disastrous con-
sequences by restoring the money, and reward Of
f2@ was promised
Having adopted these measures she resolved 70
wait with all the patience she could command, un-
til the notice of her loss should Re published, and
then she hoped that no one would be cruel cnovsh
to retain her property especially as she offered such
large reward,
She waited a wl,oie week, but nothing came Of
the advertisement. Her position was now becom-
ing formidable; a few shillngs only remained in
her possession, and everything of any value had
been parted with before she received the legacy.
In addition to her other anxicties two Sundays
passed, and Charles came not to their accustomed
meeting, Was he ilY Perhaps he was dying,
and she unable to whisper one word of love or hope
to cheer his failing spirit!
Another week was gone, and still the dreadful
Suspense prevailed. She was forced to quit her
abode, and seek cheaper lodging. The rcmuner-
alton she obtained by the utmost exertion barely
suficed to prevent actual want, and her delicate
frame was sinking fast The sickening agony OF
hope deferred was eating into her very soul.
But worse pang was reserved for her. AS yet
her fears only for Charles's safety; she soon
had reason to doubt his honor.
She went one morning to the stationcr's, where
answers to the advertisement were to be addressed
to inquire if anything had been heard o. her loss
On receiving the usual dlscouragng reply she was
about to leave the shop, when her eye suddenly fell
upon copy of the Times which lay on the counter
Amongst the marriages was the following announce
ment
"At st. Johns Church, Charles, only son of the
late Edward Ripley, Esq, of Fitzrov-squarc tc
Caroline, oldest daughter of the late James Parker
ESQ"
1t was more than she could bear Scarcely had
she realized the fact of her desertion, when she
tainted. She remained insensible fer consider
able time, and returning consciousness only made il
too evident that reason had departed.
