New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1866-01-29

An important dispatch from Washington,
purporting to give the opinions Of the President
upon the questions of Constitutional Amend
ments, Suffrage and Direct Taxation, will be
found in its proper place. 1t will have an i'm.
portant influence on the action of Congress to.
day, as the substance Of it will doubtless be
made known in Washington this morning.
Coming through the Associated Press agent,
it may be considered as semi-oficial.

!. HUMPHREYs,s PROCLAMA
TION.
NIB.

In proclamation issued by one Benjamin G.
II humphreys, titular Governor Of Mississippi, we
read:
"WAsrsas Section g. OF an act OF the Legislature Of
the Stste Of Mississippi entitled AN act authorizing
the issuance Of Treasury notes advance upon cotton
approved Dec. 49, 1861 provides that whenever the
present blockade Of the ports OF the Confederate States
shall be rem0yed-whieh shall be determined by the
proclamation Of the Governor declaring the tact the
Governor shall by said proclamation, require all per.
sons to whom advances may have been made TO de.
liver the number OF bales u cotton upon which they
have received an advance, In accordance with their
respective receipts within ninety days from the date Of
said proclamation;
Now, therefore. I, benjamin G. Humphreys, Gov
ernor Of the State Of Mississippi by virtue otbe author
ty vested in by the constitution and laws OF said
State hereby proclaim that the blockade the ports
OF the Confederate States has been removed and do
require all persons 10 whom advances have been made
to deliver the number Of bales Of cotton upon which
they have received sn advance in accordance with
their respective receipts file In the Auditors office
within % days Fl, the date Of this proclamation"
The proclamation is too explicit in its terms
TO leave any doubt either as to its meaning, or
as to the spirit Of it. II is an official recog-
milton of the legal existence Of the State Leg
islstures which were chosen during the four
years Of Rebellion, and which exercised their
functions under the sanction Of an oath to sup
port the JEFF Davis Confederaty. Probably
they do mt have any copy Of the United States
Constitution In those parts where Mr.. Humph-
reys bears sway, or it may be that Mr..
Humphreys during his Confederate period
he was General In the Rebel army - got
saturated with Confederate oaths, and sheds those
be took earlier. and later. But there still is a
venerable parchment recognized hereabout as of
considerable authority, and it requires that
"the members of the several State Legislatures
>. shall be bound by oath or affirmation to

accommodated AZ Jastremski's as else
where. Success to all hands concerned.
We invite attention to Mr.. Jastremski's

CLAY-GuT AND MANCHAC ROAD.

, CLAY-GUT AND MANCHAC ROAD.
As our police jury are to meet on
Monday next, we desire once more to
call the attention of the members of
that body to the deplorable condition
of the parish roads, and especially to
the road leading from here to Clay
Gut and Manchac. 1t is one of the
crying evils that the bridges along
that road are in q most wretched
state OF dilapidation, rendering it alb
solutely dangerous to man and beast
to cross them, particularly after
nightfall.
There is no calculating the amount
Of injury inflicted upon our parish by
allowing the public highways to re-
main in their present impracticable
condition. The season of the year
is at hand when they should be thor
oughly worked, and the police jury
will, we hope apply all the resources
within their control, to hasten on so
important and desirable an object.
Let not another fall roll around to
find our roads-turned out into quag
mires and "sloughs of despond" to
break down the patience of man and
the limbs Of the poor beasts that
have to struggle through them with
their burthens. The roads are bad
enough now that the weather is dry !;
what will they be when the rainy
season shall have again set in, and
they will have to be used for convey
ing the crops to mrrket? =?

cheering mention of the Northwest and her
manufactures
minnesota was admitted to the Union
as State, May IL, 1853, with an area of
1859 square miles. In 1850, it contains
ed GOT inhabitants; III 1855, 1882; in
1857, l50, 092 in 1860, l76,535. In 1850,
the State had 50 sheep, and five manufac-
turing establishments with an annual
product of S57, 800. We cite these partic-
ulars of SO very recent date only in order
to render more impressive the fact that the
city of Minneapolis, which was scarcely
laid out about ten years ago, and the I'M
broken wilderness above st. Anthony's
Falls for its market, is now manufacturing
cashmere cloth, said to be equal to the
best English manufacture in texture and
durability, from wool grown in the State.
This is an evidence that American manu-
features do extend, and that they are
springing up where least expected, and
that when once begun they compete favor
ably with others and sustain themselves.
Minneapolis is one only in multitude of
Western cities where the staple for manu-
features is contiguous to the natural seat
Of manufactures, and where the industry
may be proftably exercised, if, as seems
possible, the production of the raw mate
rial is not yet more valuable than its fur

A GAME OF 'PoXER" IN CALIFORNIA
A friend just up from New Orleans, where
he met several persons who had recently
returned from California, relates to us a
very amusing anecdote, which occurred at
card table in the gold regions of that
country:
1t appears that four persons had seated
themselves in the mines to play IL game of
poker-thc ''antc" as substitute for mo-
ney, being handful of gold dust. They
continued playing some time without either
side winning much. At length one of the
party, who had good hand, went hand
full 'better."
~ see that, and go pint better 7 ~
cried out another, who also had strong
hand.
81 sec that" responded the first, "and
60 quart better!'
"Wel, see that, and 60 gallon bet
ter y said the other.
This rather disconnected his adversary
for a moment, as it "oversizcd his "pilc.h
but confident in the superior strength of
his hand, he collected together all the gold
dust he had left, and putting it aside, cool
ly remarked to one of his companions !:

New York, June 2S.-An interesting
spiritual case was brought out here this
morning Miss Van Wei. who pretended
to perform Davenport tricks, was exposed
by two ladies, who made search of her
person, on Sunday night, at a circle on
Broadway. Miss Van Wei was to be bound
with a knot of tape, fastened with pad
lock, the key of which was to be left with
the audience. After being put in her cabi-
net, she would be united by the spirits and
present persons with bracelet of flowers
and pieces Of ribbon. But, previous to
entering, she was to be searched. Two
ladies discovered a duplicate key to the
paddock, with q bracelet and ribbons, Sc
creted on her person in delicate place,
which they could not publicly describe,
and, coming out, SO represented to the
crowd assembled, holding up the article to
view. In the excitement which followed,
a ring and other jeweiry was lost. Col.
Goodwin had the two ladies arrested for
larceny and called before the Police Court,
when the above facts were disclosed Other
regulations regarding this place and this
sort of spiritualism are to follow.

EUROPEAN Wharf.-The Journal of CONF
merce specializing on the approaching Eu-
ropean war, thinks:
"lndications are not wanting that
France intends to sieze on the happy mo-
ment for re-establishing some of the ideas
of the first Napoleon. England will keep
herself out of the tempest as long as
possible, and it is not at present clear that
she is under any necessity Of being drawn
into it. If she had done her duty manful-
ly two years ago, things would have been
different now. But as it is no one would
be surprised to see the war become gener-
al on the continent, and if SO the chances
are hundred to one than Louis Napoleon
will be the only monarch to reap any ulti-
mate benefit from it. Shrcwd, far-seeing
and polite, lie bides his time, and will
doubtless make use of his means when the
time comes.
