Governor Bradford's Message.


BALTIMORE, Jan. 7.-Gov. Bradford's
message was transmitted to the Legislature
to day. IT IS" 20
He says the finances of the State are in
a prosperous condition. In reference to the
quetion of emancipation, he says, / believe
to-day, as Ihave done for years, that If we
had long ago provided for the gradual
emancipation of the slaves of tho State,
we should now be, as regards all national
elements Of public prosperity IN advance of
our present position.
The products of our State an its natural
resources are not such as can be developed
by slave labor. lam satis6d the people of
the State, in their moments of calm and
deliberate reflection, long since came to the
same conclusion. When conspiring leaders
at the South lifted their hands against the
Union, and pointed Slavery as an institution
upon which their visionary republic was to
rest, they struck blow at its very vitals in
every border State under which il has con
tinued to languish, and which must surely
result in its ultimate destruction. 1t there
fore becomes those to whom the question
rightly belongs, to tske immediate meas
ures for its immediate removal which should
be no longer delayed than may be required
by proper respect by these industrial pur
suits with which the institution has been so
long and so intimately interviewer, and a
human regard for the slave himself which
forbids US to cast him, and are unprepared
for so great change too suddenly upon his
feeble resources.
A Times Washington despatch says;
The removal of all rebel prisoners conin-
ed at various points throughout the loyal
States within the limits of Gen. Buffers
department is to commence Immediately.
The rebel officers at Johnson's Island
will probably be removed to Fort Delaware.
j. W. Clark of the printing bureau in
the Treasury Department was relieved of
his duties to-day, and the keys Of his office
w-re taken from him. His defalcations are
said to be large. Other arrests will be
made.
The Potomac is frozen over as far down
as Occoquan Bay.

Sufferers by Indian HOstilities.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-The Tribune's des
patch from Washington dated Jan'y Ith,
says: The commission appointed for the
relief of the sufferers by Indian hostilities
in Minnesota, consisting Of Col. Aldrich
and Messrs. White and Chase, were in ses
sion at st. Peters, Mimi, for about five
months. Two thousand nine hundred and
forty claims were presented and examined
and also large number were presented, but
could not be examined as the law fixed the
time for the expiration of their duties at
Deccmb," Let. The above number Of claims
amounted to S2,45S,0O0 The commission
awarded $l,37O,458. $4,000 was appro-
priated at the last session for the immedl
ate relief of the most needy sufferers and
was paid to over 1,40O persons, many of
whom were made widows and orphans by
Indians. Nearly 1000 witnesses were
examined and their testimony reduced to
writing, covering about 5000 sheets of le
gal cap paper The testimony shows that
over 800 men, women and children were
butchered by the Indians Thousands who
had purchased homesteads of the U. 5. and
paid for them were driven away and are
now refugees, it being unsafe to return to
the frontier 1t is estimated that $40,
900, 900 will not reimburse the people for
damages done bv the Indians on the from
tier Of Minnesota. The government holds
about So 100000 annuities forfeited by the
rebellous States and it is proposed TO
use this sum in the payment of the above
claims

From New Orleans.

New YORK, January 8.-The steamer
Yazoo, from New Orleans the 3lst has ar
rived
Another secret expedition left there on
the 3Oth The strength and destination
remains unknown. But little doubts are
entertained that it is intended eventually
for Mobile. 1t is supposed Pasagoda will
be occupied for the present and that an
advance will be made on Mobile as soon as
the rainy season ends.
1t has rained here three days most terrif,
fcaly. On Sunday morning the city was
subm erged some one or two feet. This
lasted near the river for several hours. The

stripped of its verbiage, Mr.. Wilson said,
was the purport of the resolution. ~
Mr.. Davis explained to the Senate that
the language uttered in Mr.. Wilson's reso.
luton was a garbled resolution of his own
resolution. What ne Davis proposed was,
that the people sould rise at the polls and
take the power out of this Government into
their own hands; he, Davis, repeated that
the terms of Wilson'S resolution were
against the termc of his own, and were
false in fact ---.-..-
