From the ssn,insL



The Legislature adjourned on Friday
nothing last, till Tuesday, the sixth week
Of the session. The bill for the relief Of
soldiers families, that had passed the Sen.
ate has been discussed at leangth and very
carefully considered in the House; and on
Thursday IL was ordered TO be engrossed
in form not materially different from that
In which 1t left the Senate, II will become
law this week 10 all probability. This
bill provides that q levy shall be made, Of
two mills on dollar in the whole State
and n Counties where il is required, an ad.
ditional mill can be levied. The proceeds
of this levy are to be distributed according
to tho numbers Of necessitous families 10
each Township.
1t will afford relief to a mnch greater
extent than last year. aud will approxi.
mate to what is rcquiaed.
The Bill of immediate Importance, Is
that providing for Bounties for Volunteers,
to Gil the quota of the State. 1t is nov
before the Senate, nearly ready for the
third reading, and will pass this week
1t provides that the Commissioner, Of
conuties or trustees of townships may levy
a tax in their locality sufii cient to pay Q
bounty not TO exceed-say $l25-to 81
heir quota, aud also to refund certain
bouuties that may have been advanced
The details of this bill are not completed
and indeed, are difficult to arrange; bu
they will soon be settled upon, and tb,
bill be passed, that the public may apply
it TO use.
The filling of the quota and proper pro
vision for tie families are the only ma,tcri
on which there is disposition to vote mon
ey freely. The Benevolent institutions o
the State will be decently provided for
and buildings probably be started for tb'
Deaf and Dumb and the Idiot Asylums
There is large amount of gold in tb,
treasury, some $50. 900 which it is proposed
to sell, and apply the premium to SOM
of these humane objects. The session viii
probably continue till the last of March
and the uext few weeks will show SOM
work accomplished.

The CONDITION OF THE SOUTH. debate

on the 30th of January gives good in.
sight into the condition of affairs in the
South. During the debate, Mr.. Smith Of
North Caroline, said that the army had
tour hundred thousand men on the muster
roll, a1d only half that number in active
service. d. added that it was impossible
TO feed even a fractional part Of the army,
aud asked if food was seized for these, what
would become of the people at home. Az
| other member said that if they made q
I draft they could not cothe the army, and
Mr.. Goode. Of Virginia, said that bis State
could not stand o draft. Other speakers
favored the policy of delay and stubborn
holding out, in order to wear out, the pa
tience of the North, destroy its finances,
and perhaps find relief in the success Of au
opposition party.
That debate tells the whole story Short
of food, short of clothes. What further
proof is required of the speedy collapse OF

one more grand effort towards that eudi
