The LeeisIature Yesterday.

l.
The legislature did handsome thing
yesterday. Not in the way of legislation,
but in a way more adapted to the spirit of
the times. They dshouldered arms and
carried arms" not like the boys who wore
the paper caps and "marched up the steep
hill side against the western wind" but
like bona ide soldiers. They met and adj
journed at the usual hour IN the morning,
each member repairing to the ordnance
department and getting gun. Gen. Kra-
mer, of Monongalia, was made captain,
Col. Crawford, of Hancock, FIRST lieutenant,
and t. K. Mccain, of Greenbrier, second
lieutenant. All together they made up
company of seventy-two men, including
the clerks and sergeants- alarms of the two
houses. They paraded in the forenoon and
afternoon and held themselvesin readiness
to move upon the enemy whenever his ap-
proach should be sigualled. We should
not forget to notice that Mr.. McWhorter, of
Roane county, acted as fifer and Mr.. Sheets,
of Hampshire, as tenor drummer. We like
the sort of vim displayed by the legisla-
tnra of our Nav State y0otOrdAy- John
Morgan would have received volley OF
very hearty shots from them had he made
his appearance.

The Custom House exhibit of the export
of gold from San Francisco to Panama, en-
traRsitu 70 New York, is an uncertain test
by which to determine the total gold pro-
duct of California. Messrs. Hussey, Bond
and Hale, of San Francisco, in their circu-

mia, state that the amount carried home by
returning passengers, the exports TO Europe
China, the Pacific ports of South America,
the amount carried overland 70 Mexico,
and the amount retained in California for
purposes of currency is equal to seventy
five per cent upon the amount of exports as

seuger on board the ILL fRted Central A mer-
lea is known to have carried twenty thous-
aud dollars-i in his vaiise, which he would
gladly have exchanged for single square

his account of the disaster on board
the Golden Gate, states that a sum Of
money which he had in his belt was saved;
but thirty thousand which he had in his
baggage was lost. The adaptation Of gold
to boarding purposes, aud the fact that

low the denomination of i've dollars, and
the prejudice entertained by many against
paper money generally, induce the secre-
tion of specie. Mr. Hersey, the miserly
farmer of Lancaster county, Pa, had forty
thousand dollars in specie concealed in his
house. during the panic at Pittbsurg, oc
casioned by the recent rebel raid into
Pennsylvania, the bankers and others Of
that city transferred in one day to Cleye-
land, Ohio, fifteen millions of dollars in
specie. & rs sal-
Unquestionably the amount of specie ex-
listing in the United States has been hith-
eFto greatly moderated, owing to the tact
that the new element in the calculation,
introduced by the California development,
has not been duly appreciated.

FRIDAY, July "a, 1865
The Senate was opened with prayer by
the Rev. Mr.. Blakeney.
Mr.. MCCAIN asked to be excused from
attendance to-day. He said he desired to
go over on the other side. of the river and
do what little he could towards stopping
the career of John Morgan. He was e1-
cused.
A message from the House announced
that that body had receded from the
amendments to the bill authorizing the
appointment of Quartermaster General.
The bill for the establishment of sys-
tenn of free schools was read first time.
The Senate bill classifying the militia
of the State was taken up and read section
by section for amendment.
Mr.. MCCAIN said that he had been in
structed by the Governor to say that the
members ofthe Legislature, if they should
form military company, would be
armed and equipped at once.
On motion of Mr.. Farnsworth the Senate
adjourned for that purpose.

The above instructions mark an epoch in
the history of this war. 1t has been up
wards of two years aud a half sipce boat
left this wharf for New Orleans. So far as
We can learn the last one left in December
1860. II will probably be some time yet
before one leaves, taking into account the
stage of water aud the general uncertainty
prevailing as to matters along the banks of
the lower Mississippi. But the fact that the
government is now ready to issue clearances
the boats for the whole trip make as we
said an epoch. There are no obstacles to
navigation In the shape of forts or rebel
armies. Possibly guerrillas may hover
among the bayous and lagoons of the low
er country and watch their opportunity to
rush upon q boat as she lands or to fire
into her from some unexpected place, but
we do not expect to see such state OF
things for any length of time. Our armies,
SO completely victorious down in Missis
sippi and Louisiana, will not be long in
scattering the last lingering rebel organi-
cation. Another thing, it will be2to the
interest ofpeople down there to encourage
the revival Of trade. Indeed tits necess-
ity with them. They are in want of every
thing, and after their long imprisonment
from the outside werld and their long de-
privation of all that made their former
lives comfortable, they will not permit
guerrillas to lurk in their midst and keep
up prices by making trade hazardous
The people along the Mississippi now
want return of old times. They see that
the effort to close up the river is hopeless
and feel as Pembsrton's paroled soldiers did
when they refused to follow him and told
him that shat game.was played out" We
are confident in the belief that this fall
will see brisk trade between the upper
Ohio and the lower Mississippi. Before
many weeks we expect to see boats touch
at our wharf for New Orleans. aaf.sat-
