ALBANY, Jan. 5.-The Legislature met
and organized this morning. Republican
officers were elected in both houses. The
Governors Message was read. After re-
ferring to State topics he devotes portion
Of his Message to the consideration of mil
itary matters in connection with the draft,
&c. He goes into the consideration OF ma
tional affairs nj length, and, after asking
what has been accomplished by the Gov
eminent in territory wrested from rebel
lion, says: But one course will save us
from national ruin. We must adhere to
solemn pledges made by our Government
at the outset of this war. We must seek
to restore the Union and uphold the Consti-
tuition to the end. While we put forth
every exertion to beat down armed rebel
lion, we must use every influence of wise
craftsmanship to bring back the States who
now reject their constitutional obligations
we must hold forth every honorable in
ducement to the people South to assume
again the rights and duties Of American
citizenship. We have reached the poia. in
the progress Of the war for which all have
struggled. We now stand before the world
a great and successful military power
Wise statesm anship can now bring this
war to close upon the terms solerGnly
avowed at the outset. Good faith TO public
creditors and to all classes of citizens; and
the world demands that this be done. The
triumphs won by our soldiers should be
followed up and secured by the peace
making policy of the statesman in the Cab
met. In no other way can We save the
Union,

NORFOLK. Va, Jan. 4.-The military
commission, of which Gen. Wistar is Pres
ident, has been in session during the past
week The case of J. NJ. Hunt, late Super
intendent Of vessels ut Fortress Monroe is
under trial. and the developments are ex-
ceedingly interesting. Among the points
elected are the payment of 81, 900 in fees to
Senator HaiD by Hunt to obtain his re-
lease from the Old Capital Prison.
To-day Capt Cone Of the steamer John
A. Warner testified that the boat was worth
about SIS, 900 when she first went into the
Government service: that at the rates Of
her charter she had earned SlO3, 800 UP to
date: that the Government had supplied
her coal: that her running expenses were
from one thousand TO twelve hundred dol
lars per month, which were betrayed
by goods sold on board and by profits on
berths, and that she belonged to tho Della
ware river steamboat Company, Of which
John Price Belger, OF Philadelphia was
President and Andrew NJ. Anderson, VIM

1t appears by Mayor 5unthar s address
that the city debt is ga. Oo0, 600. probably
arising from tho fact As stated IN his ad-
dress that the system of local government
is lacking in that sympathy 50 necessary
to economy and efficiency. and that the
subdivision of functions and the want Of
responsibility has led to extravaganza and
multiplication of Off co9.

MoSEY.-Mouey is n queer institution.

MoSEY.-Mouey is queer institution.
1t buys provender, satisfies justice, and
heals wounded honor. Everything re-
solves itself into cash, from stock; k;jobbing
to building churches. Childhood Graves
pennies; youth aspires to dimes; man
hood is swayed by the mighty dollars.
The blacksmith swings his sledge, the law
yer pleads for his client, and the judge de-
cides the question of life or death for his
salary. Money makes the man; therefore
man must make money, if he would be
respected by fools; for the eye of the
world looks through golden spectacles. 1t
buys Brussels carpets, lace curtains, gilded
cornices, rich furniture, and builds marble
mansions. 1t drives us to church in splen-
did equipages, and pays the rent of the
best pews. 1t buys silks and jewclry for
my lady-it commands the respect Of gap
ing crowds, insures obsequious attention.
1t enables us to be charitable, to send
Bibles to the heather, to remove domestic
indulgence. 1t gilds the rugged scenes OF
life, and spreads over the rugged scenes OF
existence velvet carpet softto our tread
the rude scenes and turmoils are encased
in gilt frame. 1t bids care vanish,
soothes the anguish of the bed of sick
ness; stops short of nothing save the grim
destroyer, whose relentless hand spares
none, but levels all mortal distinction, and
teaches poor weak humanity that it is but
dust. Wealth pauses on the brink of
eternity; the beggar and the millionaire
rest side by side beneath the sod, to rise in
equality to answer the final summons.

CHEAP AND VALUABLE LIN1MENr.-The
following recipe, originally given nearly
one hundred yearsago, has been constant
ly in use. in one family for more than
eighty years: One quarter of pound Of
camphor and the same quantity of pure
CASTLE soap; mash the camphor and add
to it wine glass full of high-proof BRAN
dy or alcohol; scrape the soap fine, and
put both into a junk bottle, and add a
pint of. spirits of turpentine. Put in the
cork, not very tight and set the bottle in
warm water, increasing the heat until the
contents of the bottle are amalgamated.
This liniment is excellent for bathing
sprains and bruises, and for internal sore
ness-eighteen drops taken in spoonful
of sugar will be found highly efficacious.
am confident that all who will try this
simple medicine will ever after keep it
constantly on hand, as ready, safe and
certain remedy.

KEEP Your EYE on Your NEIGHBoRs.
Take care of them. Do not let them stir
without watching. They may do some
thing wrong, if you do. To be sure you
never knew them to do anything very
bad, but it may be on your account they
have not. Perhaps if it had not been for
your kind care they might have disgraced
themselves and families long time ago.
Therefore do not relax any effort TO keep
them where they ought to be: never mind
your own business-that will take care Of
itself. There is man passing along-he
is looking over the fence-be suspicious OF
him-perhaps he contemplates stealing
something some of these dark nights /;
there is no knowing what queer fancies he
may have got into his head. If you find
any symptoms of any one passing out of
the path of duty, tell every one else you
can see, and be particular to see great
many. 1t is good way TO circulate such
things, though it may not benefit yourself
or any one else particularly. Do keep
something going-silence is a. dreadful
thing; though there was silence in heaven
for the space of half an hour, do not let
such things occur on earth; it would be
too much like heaven for the inhabitants
of this mundane sphere. If after all your
watchful care, you see nothing out of the
way in any one, you may be sure it is not
because they have not done anything bad
perhaps in an unguarded moment you
have lost sight of them-throw out hints
that they are no better than they should
be-that you should not wonder if peo-
pie found out what they we've after a
while-then they may not carry their
heads SO high. Keep it agoing, and some
one will take the hint, and begin to help
you after while-then there will be mu-
sic. and everything will work to charm.
Exchange.
