Treason not yet Subdued-A Vieor-
GUS Policy Asked For.
JEFFERSON CITY Mo-, Jan. 20.
Eighty-four members Of the Legislature met
tonight and adopted memorial to the Presi-
dent, setting forth that there is still underly-
ing the surface Of this State very large SUBJ
stratum of reasonable sentiment, which may
break out at the first favorable opportunity !;
expressing thankfulness to the government for
assistance rendered, and stating the belief that
by all truly loyal men i'm Missouri their lives,
property and constitutional liberty are now en-
dangered: representing that utter ruin would
result from another struggle with domestic
traitors and their aiders and abettors in our
midst; urging the President TO use his utmost
caution in resembling or modifying orders that
have imperious or coercive influences only on
our and the country's enemies.
In many parts of the STATE the civil law is
to great extent powerless: grand jures can
not be empanneled who will indct men who
have stolen horses and guns from the Union
lists to equip themselves for the rebel army
1t is still in some places safer to be disloyal
than Internationally Union-the moral force
of coercion is not altogether on one side yet.
We therefore urge the propriety of keeping
in force orders Nos. 3 and 25 emanating from
the headquarters of the department of Missou-
RI, until such time as we can say the thorough
ly loyal sentiment prevails throughout the
State. We ask this, believing that upon it
largely depends the welfare of the Union, the
cause of our State, and the personal safety of
thousands OF citizens who have taken part in
sustaining the government.
The memorial was unanimously signed, and
will be circulated for more names tomorrow.
Col. Hayward has been appointed to present
the memorial to the President.

scTwo attorneys got into game Of fisti-
cuffs in the Superior Court of Chicago some
days since, and, after pummeling each other to
their mutual satisfaction, were each fined 500
for contempt of court.
sJ-This year being the centennial ami
versary OF the granting of that charter under
which Rhode Island became the refuge Of all
the Providence Journal proposes to have
grand celebration of the event, and reunion
of the sons Of Rhode Island, either at Proyi-
dence OF Newport.
gC Men of secession proclivities complain
OF the vgor with which the government has
dealt with persons justly suspected Of treason.
In our opinion the fault of the government has
been in its lenty and not in its vigor. Had it
been half as rigorous with traitors as JEFF.
Davis has been with Union men, we should
hear less of treas on than we now do
gE-The wood paper on which the Boston
Journal has twice been printed, and which is
superior to most rag paper, is made under
. letters patent, near Philadelphia. The mill is
a small one, but it Is proposed to form Com
pany for manufacturing on large scale, with
capital of 81 100000. One gentleman offers
to take 100000 of the stock, aud assign the
patent TO the Company. The Journal thinks
in time paper will be made of wood much
cheaper than it has ever been from rags.
BANK NOTE PRINrrNe.-The Washington
correspondent of the New York Journal of
Commerce says that although not directly
authorized so to do, Secretary Chase is quiet0
establishing bank-note printing establishment
In the Treasury Department. In completing
one Of the wings, one-half of the roof has been
so raised as to form a mdnsdrde or garnet
story, the front of which, facing the east, Is of
iron and glass. A very light apartment has
thus been created Tor the presses, and although
the change currency will be first printed, it is
contemplated to have the entire government
issues printed there. While fraud can thus be
avoided, the operations OF the department can
be concealed from the brokers.
THE PLAN OF CERTAIN IRoN-CLADs
Observation-Disclosures have been sent by
the Navy Department to the different contrac-
tors building the last batch of iron-clad vessels
to make considerable change in the plan of
their construction. They were to have been
larger than the nine batteries of the Monitor
type, and to draw very little water. Now,
however, they are to be made more formula
BILE, and will be of deeper DRAFT than was at
first intended. There are other deviations
from the original plan to be carried out, which
it Is not expedient to print. They are 1884
tons burden, and will carry one turret, in
which two guns will be mounted.
Capt. Ericsson furnishes the plans of these
ships, the general construction of which will
be the same as their predecessors.

DEPARTURE OF THE 7TH.-About 800 MEM
bers Of the It'll Maine Regiment left for Bos-
ton in special train Of cars at quarter past 10
O'Clock yesterday forenoon. The delay in
starting was occasioned by paying the men a
portion Of their dues yesterday morning-the
pay rolls not being ready the previous day.
At the p. s. 4 P. depot there was a large
collection Of people, both men and women,
and they treated the soldiers to hot coffee,
cakes, apples, &C., and sent them off with
cheers and good wishes. Preparations had
been made in Boston to give the soldiers a
good reception on their arrival in that city.

FIRE.-About 10 o'clock last evening, the
shed at the foot Of Brattle street, owned by
Mr.. d. N. Walker, and occupied for the man.
ufacture Of patent roofing, was discovered to
be on fire. Notwithstanding the high wind,
and the combustible nature of the shed and its
contents, the active and efficient efforts of the
fremen prevented the flames from reaching
the contiguous buildings. The shed with its
contents was destroyed. The loss cannot be
very great, as there was but very little valua-
bic material In the building. 1t is supposed
that 1t was seton Ore.
