ADVICE TO THE ALABAMA LEaIsLATURE
The Mobile Register Of Dec. Z, in view
of the refusal Of Congress to admit the
Representatives from the late rebel
States, counsels the Alabama Legislature
as follows
In view Of the Geographic intelll-
gence from Washington received yester-
day, we respectfully suggest to this body
whether it would not be wise to adjourn
for thirty days and await further de-
velopments before entering upon q
path of legislation, which, at present is
at best but blind path. The COnstltu-
tional Amendment and all the other re-
auirements of the powers at Washing
ton having been complied with there is
no other national duty to be performed
As for the rest, it is impossible to leg
islate effectively and intelligently until
it is known what is to be the status oil
this State and its people, This knowl-
edge is all to come. Under present
lights it is not safe or prudent to Iegls'
late on the negro question. The Legis-
lature may do much harm but it car
hardly do any good until it j. better ad
vised as to the future"

ARBCDoTB OF Mr.. FIELDs.-Mr. ). T..
Fields, of the firm of TicknOr & Fields,
publishers in Boston, is reputed to have
a wonderful memory and knowledge Of
English literature. The London Review
tells this anecdote Of him:
Zone day, at dinner party, q would
be wit thinking to puzzle Mr.. Fields,
and make sport for the company, an
nounced prior to Mr.. Fields arrival
that he had himself written some poe.
try, and intended to submit it to Mr..
Field as Southey's. At the proper mo-
ment therefore, after the guests were
seated he began "Friend Fields, have
been a good deal exercised Of late. try
ing to find out in Southeys poems his
well-known lines running thus (repeat-
ing the lines he had composed) Can
you tell rs about what time he wrote
them 7"
II do not remember to have met them
before" replied Mr.. Field, land there
were only two periods in Southey's life
when such lines could possibly have
been written by him."
When We're those2" gleefully asked
the witty questioner.
Somewhere" said Mr.. Fields, about
that early period of his existence when
he was having the measles and cutting
his first teeth; or near the close of his
life when his brain had softeu5d and he
had fallen into ioiocy The versification
belongs to the measles period, but the
expression clearly betrays the idiotic
one" H
The .questioner smiled family, but the
company roared."r

KENTUCKY AND VERNoNT.-Gov Bran

Legislature the resolutions passed at
the late session of our State Legislature
the object of which is to secure equal

including the right Of the elective fran
chise." The Governor opposes very
strongly the adoption of sub resolu-
ton and urges the Legislature to take
