NEW JERSEY IEeIsLATUEE.


Governor Parker, to-day, sent a message
to both Houses enclosing a copy of the
joint resolution passed by Congress in re-
gard to the constitutional amendment to
abolish slavery.
Mr.. Scovil moved that the Committee on
Federal Relations report on it Thursday.
Senators Chandler, Buckley and Ran
dolph opposed immediate action.
Mr.. Scovil replied, charging that the
power which ruled New Jersey wanted
delay, promising three votes for Repub-
licsn Senator for this amendment. He
could not lend himself to such bargain.
It would not be kept.
The motion was lost. Senators Jenkins
and Kennedy, Democrats, and Scovil and
Horner, Republicans, voted for it.
The joint committee on the Bergen Tun-
mel asked and obtained permission to sit
during sessions. The committee intend to
make thorough examination, and will
present an elaborate report on the subject.

The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press states that last Tuesday night the I'd,
9Th and 9th corps were placed under march
ing orders, and the 9TH corps was held in
readiness for service. Six days rstions
were-distributed to the three corps, and it
was generally conceded that the army was
to make grand move, but at last accounts,
although the orders had not been recinded,
there was every reason to believe that no
movement would be made.

DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE.

NEW AOhhf IeD. I.
The first volume of Sewsrd's diplomatic
dispatches is published. An abstract of it
shows that Seward discouraged foreign
sympathy with the insurgents, and that
Maximillian stopped at London to secure
recognition, but was put off to more op-
perfume time; that blockade running was
carried on under an agreement to run the
inward cargo on the account of the rebel
government on the condition of receiving
cotton or bonds; that in the caae of The
Alexandria Mr.. Seward entered strong
complaint against Great Britain, saying
that no neutral power was ever more un-
yielding or more exscting toward billig-
erent than Great Britain has been toward
the United States; that blockade running
was carried on by English companies form
ed under articles of an association, that
the invasion of Mexico was the fruit of a
conspiracy inspired by the jealousy of the
United States.

Returned Union prisoners doubt the

This day ends our journey from Sauk

Rapids, in sight f.my once pleasant home

Keokuk was the last town on the night
before coming into what has always been
considered the land of slaves. Hannibal

| SION house, two miles below, on the river
as the former residence Of Col. Green, OF
the rebel army, now confscated to the gov
ernment. 1t was worth hundred thou
sand dollars when he unfortunately joined
his fortunes with the South to day he is
refugee, in disappointment and penury.
Lagrange, five miles below Canton, resem-
bles more Northern towns in the substan-
tlal character of its business houses, most
OF them being built of brick, with consider
oole display ofarchitectural taste and SYM
metry. L learned from gentleman on
board who lives at Lagrange, that most of
the wealthy men about Hannibal and Can
ton are rebels, and are offering their es-
tates tor sale at half their value. Anv
Northern capitalist has here a chance Of
making fortune in the purchase of these
rlch' well-cultivated plantations. One of
these, lying high up in 81 i.ht of our boat.
was pointed out to me. There are four
hundred acres Of land, an orchard of choice
apples OF ten acres, large twe-s,ory brick
house surrounded with trees and shrubberv
and weA-built out-houpes. This splendid
plantation is offered at nine dollars an acre.
Perhaps l ought TO mention the fact of
the chllls and fever being constant yisi
tor along all these points in the summer
ana fall months; bat what southern coun-
try is exempt? Sickness is a part of the
inheritance of all tie rich bottom lands of
the Lower Mississippi. Illinois, Wisconsin,
and Iowa have more or less fever and aeue,
and the only western State l hear of, free
from this troublesome disease, is our own
beautiful and evcr-hcalthy Minnesota. All
hail to Minnesota with its heal.h-giving
air, pure lakes and sparkling rivulets.-
Whatever else O.. hers may name as her
draw ba cks, healthy climate will ever re-
main crowning glory.
Of the great city Of st. Louis, little can
be known or said from few DAYS visit.
1t IS just like all other great American
towns-full Of wealth, fashion and folly,
business, extravagance, robbcrics and MUIR
der; each morning paper has its column
OF crime committed between the going
down and the rising Of the sun And yet,
you ask any man you meet first what be
thinks, an | he will tell you it is the most
orderly, law-abitling town in the United
States; and this while he sees a whole
square of houses directly in view of this
prlncely hotel, occupied by abandoned wo-
men. One hardly knows what to think of
human nature, when o weil-dresscd busi-
ness man and christian gentleman can be
so bewildered as to what Is order and good
morals. One thing, however, can be said
in favor of St. Louis-it has two OF the
most extensive, most eleg mt and best con-
Quoted hotels in the United States. These
are the Southern" and "Linden." They
each occupy whole block, and are finish
ed and furnished in the mcst costly and
ma gnifcent STYLE ". H.W.
