/ Fel1ow Citizens q The Senate and Assem-
| bly,:
In obedience TO the requirement.. of the
Constitution, il again becomes nv duts TO
commuaicate to the Legislature the con-
dition Of the State. and to recommend such
matters as | may deeEq e1pedient for their
consideration
When VIC contemplate the condition of
our country, its necessities, the manner in
which 1t has been preserved through al
It's trials, our minds naturally turn to- Him
whose care has been over us in all>the try
ing scenes through which we have been
called upon to pass
For the preservation of our liberties ;
Tor His care and protection over those who
have gone forth and are now risking their
lives in defense of the principles upon the
which our happiness and prosperity rest ];
for life, health and plenty for the guild
ance of that Unseen Hand which has led
us through ali our dangers for that CLEAN
OF hight we now see breaking through the
clouds and darkness that have for the last
four years surrounded us for these and
many other blessings of which VIC have
been the recipients. let us render thanks
to our Heavenly Father, and let US ask the
continuance of His favor--His guidance in
the future
The duties of the Legislator are ever
important and responsible 1t would be
difficu to fix bounds to the influence that
his acts exert Man can coniide to his fell
low man no higher trust than the power
to legislate for him; but doubiy important
do these duties become in times like the
present, when mems passions are excited
when nations are convulsed, and the des-
tiny Of ages seems hanging upon the result
of the transactions Of sing c day. If ever
the Legislator needed Divine influence
wisdom from on High to guide him, he
needs ii now You are not alone to care
for the local interests Of your immediate
constituents your acts will encourage the
patriotic soldier, and all the friends Of
freedom, or they will encourage the en-
emics Of the Government in their mad
schemes to subvert its authority Your
acts should and doubtless will. aid n the
promotion of liberty. They should Vindi-
cate the principles upon which our Gov
crnment rests, for if these be obliteratcd
by the rebellion Of the South the cunning
ly devised schemes and frauds Of those in
our own midst, or from any other cause,
our liberties are gone May they all tend
to promote the good of the State and ma
ton, and the good of all mankind. In all
such acts you will receive my hearty co.
operation.
The financial condition Of our State
considering the drafts that have necessa-
ri y been made upon the Treasury is very
| fiattering indeed Great credit is due to
our worthy Secretary and Treasurer for
/ their management in bringing about this
result, and for the abe and efficient man
ner in which they have ut all times dis
charged the duties Of their respectire de-
partments For full detail ed statement
of the transactions in all the different funds
of the State, | would refer YOU to the re-
ports of these officers herewith submitted
l invite yotlr attention to the 70 lowing
condensed statement of such transactions
during the last fiscal year:

This question was pronounced in our
hearing few days since, to young man
who had been for several months unsuce
cessfully seeking employment as clerk
or salesman in one OF our leading houses.
Comp laining of his i'll luck, one of his
friends who knew he had mechanical tall
ent, but doubted whether he could make
himself useful either as clerk or saless
man, put the interrogatory to him which
we have placed as the caption of this ar
ticle. The reply was, that a trade was
not so respectable as mercantile occupa-
tien Under this dslusive idea, our stores
are crowded with young men who have
no capacity for business, and whe, because
of the fancied respectability of doing
nothing, waste away their minority upon
their salaries which can not possibly
liquidate their expenditures. '+'''8
Late too late in life, they discover
their error, and before they reach the age
of thirty, many. of them look with envy
upon the thifty mechanic, whom in the
days Of their boyhood, they were accus-
toned to deride. The false view of re-
spectability which prevail sol distant fash

Remarkable VIII of a Hamburg
Banker.

The Hamburg Borsenl Halle gives the
following particulars fthe will Of Carl
Heine, the great Hamburg banker, who
died worth, it is supposed, about three
millions sterling. He leaves. f600 to
Hamburg and Altoona poor, $500 to
charitable Institutions in Hamburg; g.
90 to charitable institutions in Paris; sl5-
600 to the Art Gallery in Hamburg, and
sums varying from e3370 to E33, 900 to his
clerks. To every clerk who has been
twelve years in his employment, and is
more than forty years old, a yearly PEN
sion of ESQ, the half of which sum to be
continued to, their widows To his head
gardener he leaves legacy of e300, and
to all male and female servants in his es-
adjustments, both in Hamburg and Paris
legacies of from EI0 to ego. His old
tutor is remembered with pension for
life of ESQ; and various old servants and
friends with pensions Of from G25 to
f20G. His sisters and relatives have got
sums from ESQ 900 downwards. His wild
ow is left as ,residuary legatee, and at her
death the whole is to go to the adopted
\ daughter. None of his furniture or effects
must be sold, but can be given away by
his widow. He instructs that he shall
be buried in the morning without pomp,
and that his grave shall be marked with
a stone, on which simply his name and
the date of his death shall be inscribed.
He also ordered his businessto be wound
up (but without haste;) and instruets that
| all private debts under E120, can be en-
tirely cancelled, if desired by the debters;
while sums above e3, 600 may be allowed
to stand over for a year at former interest
To crown the whole, he orders his exc
cutors, under the greatest secrecy, neither
to crave nor to sue by law for any out.

NEGROES IN MEMPHIS.

23d:
NEGROES IN MEMPHIS.
A census is being taken Of the colored
people of Memphis, and enough has been
developed to show that the aggregate num-
Der of blacks will overreach twenty thous-
and, tits said will reach twenty-five thous-
and. This congregating in cities and
towns of such crowds of colored folks, to
live-in idleness and on rations furnished
by the Government, is all wrong Tits
doing the blacks an injury that will show
itself after awhile. Ali sorts of depreda-
tions are committed by the blacks and
difficulties arise between them ahd the
whites. Instead of being allowed to con
|gregate at few prominent points in such
large numbers, to live in idleness and to
become shamefully demoralized, they
should be distributed upon abandoned
farms, and put to work to support them.
selves. They have this to do in the end,
and the sooner they are taught to rely
upon their own exertions the better it will
be for them and for society.
The presence Of armed negro troops,
unless strict discipline is observed, is
great evil, and serves to paralyze the
whites-feeling that the military power
is on the side of the troops, and most of
the troops being arrogant, and feeling that
they are armed, while those they insult
and brow-beat are unarmed. The Natl
onai and State authorities are ultimately
to become very much exercised upon the
important subject of what is to be done
with the negroes of the seeded States
1t is certainly question for the LegisIa.
ture of Tennessee to consider.
This from radical Governor Of the
State of Tennessee does not bear out the
representations as to she negro made by
the radicals of the North. il

An undesirable country.

If the people OF the United States es-
cape complete annihilaton, 1t will be owing
to miraculous causes, or the possession Of
a fecundity and vitality which defy des-
truction. According to some statistics
computed by a New York newspaper there
aaye been, since Jan. /, one hundred and
twenty y-eight railroad accidents, in which
there have been two hundred and sixty
six persons killed and over one thousand
wounded. In addition to these railway
murders, there have been within the same
time a large number of accidents on the
rivers, lakes and sea-coasts, in which the
loss of life extends. well up into the thous-
ands. In one steamer alone, on the Mis-
sissippi, over fourteen hundred lives were
lost by the explosion of the boilers. Then
two California steamers have been lost, in
one case of which the loss of life was SER
ious, and in the other what we usually
term awful-that is, a ship full of passen-
gers, Of whom but two or three escaped to
tell the tale. (, t,..-.,4..i -

The brother of President Johnson
"A Quiet Texas Carpenter.
From the Cairo Democrat.] ]

We recently had quite an interesting
interview with the Presidents brother,
Mr.. VIM. P. johnson, of Buzuria county,
Texas, who was on his way home from a
visit to his brother in Washington, and
his two sons in Nashville. Mr.. johnson
is over sixty years of age, and is car
penter by trade. During the war he re-
mained quietly atlhome with his wife, and
a son, aged fifteen years. His sons, now
at Nashville, have both been soldiers in
the Federal service, and are at present
filling public positions which have been
kindly furnished them by the President.
Mr.. johnson represents the cotton crop
in Texas as fine; sugar an average crop,
and corn fair but not first rate, He says
the State has not suffered by the wal, but
that he anticipates great trouble in the
future. For the last two years labor in
Texas has been plenty and very cheap,
from the fact that many of the planters
of Mississippi, Kentucky, Missouri, Vir-
ginia, and other States, have sentin their
slaves, offering their services for clothing,
yictuals, &C. Mr.. johnson thinks the ne
gro population of Texas will be a great
curse 10 the Iotate. Mduy VI tuem navy

return to their homes. Others have be-
come very indolent, and lounge around
unwilling to work Mr.. johnson say:
these negroes believe that freedom means
idleness, and that they will be sent tc
school by the Government, and finally be

is opposed to giving them the ballot; ant
although Andrew would not give him an,
definite information on the subject, h
believes he will not yield to the radical
and force his own people to swallow th,
unpalatable pill of negro equality.

SOME months since, DR.: Buisson, of
Paris, having, in treatment of patient,
had the virus of hydrophobia communi
Gated to his blood by means of a wound
in his fore finger, took yapor bath, with
the intention ofsuffocating himself, believ-
ing that cure was impossible; but when
the heat oft vapor reached 81 degrees
centigrade, he felt entire relief from the
symptoms of madness. They did not re-
turn, and his cure was permanent. He
has since treated many cases of hydropho-
bia in this way, with complete success.
