ST. Louis, Jan. 9th, 1866.
I. is impossible for me to come to AL
bany on the occasion referred to, but
earnestly approve the object, aud wish
you eminent success. Now is the ap-
pointed time, if ever in our history, to
place the militia of our country on a
footing honorable and useful to the ma
ton. Now il can claim all the homer
gained BY State volunteers, with their
experiences IA organization, equipments
and drill hope you, in the great State
of New York, will devise some good sys-
tenn for the Militia of the State, and so
represent il that other States will follow
the example, and make it uniform
throughout the service The militia
during peace should be made attractive
and honorable. 30 that the organization
may be Immediately available in war,
until Congress has time to provide ma
tional troops for the emergency. Again
wishing you ell possible success,

n@-The people in Richmond, Va,
have recently made an important move
in the direction of securing reduction
of the rate of rents in that city. That
is not the only city in which the rule Of
exhorSitant rents is applied. The
Richmond Enquirer says:
The important question of the rent
rates was brought yesterday directly TO
the attention of the community for i'm
mediate and united action. The very
large and highly respectable assemblage
which literally crowded TO over6owing
the Hall of the Hastings Court, yester-
day afternoon, indicated the strength of
popular sentiment against the exhorbi-
tant prices demanded by landlords for
all descriptions of rentable property
The speeches made on the occasion
we're enthusiastic and to the point, and
| especially 30 in the case OF Mr.. Berry,
who drew attention TO the fact that the
nsury laws of the State prescribed
| limit to the per centage upon loans,
while money invested in real estate
could be made ny extortion to return an
indefinite per centage. This suggestion
will be made available in case the land
lords, BY pers'sting in their present de
mspds,1 render o resort TO the Legisla-
ture necessary. II ia to be hoped, how
ever, that they viii yield to popular sen-
timent, and show that they are not en-
tirely deaf to the voice Of reason and
the appeals of humanity, We trust TO
be Rblego record that they have determin.
ed TO act ct least justly in this matter.

nnrber of cases of small pox in this
city. List Friday 3 case terminated fa-
tally Since Iae war began this disc ase
has become so common that il now
causes very little excitement. Last
year there was three times the fear and
timidity that is now Witnessed. It has
been found that"there is far less danger
OF the disease spreading than was for
rnerly supposed, still We have been in
formed that there is too much careless

Order for the Discharge OF EmpIoyea
FoRTREss MoSRoE, Jan. 16.-OrderG
were received yesterday from the Wal
Department. 70 discharge all empioyes
in the various Government Departments
in this district, who had been in any way

In accordance with these instructions
the commanding General imm ediately
dismissed all such, about 25 in number,
giving them short notice to leave the
place. The agent Of the National Ex.

the above reason.
This order was undoubtedly caused By

Geo. s. Hastings, private Secretary of
the Governor, entered the following
message from his Excellency:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, n 4
m STATS or New YoRK,
sALHASr, Jan. 16, 1856. /
To the Assembly: /
Since your last session, charges
against certain officers of the gmunici,
pality Of New York. have been presents
ed to me for my action as the Execu-
tive, under the provisions of Secl 20.
Chap 446, laws OF 1857, and Sc. i,
Chap. o. laws of18e29s Al ANa
entered upon the discharge of the
duties imposed upon me by the proVis-
ions of said aetswith the free conviction
that while no public officer could be re-
sponsble, or free from all improper
checks against excess of anthority,
neither should the penalty of the law be
enforced except upon clear established
proof of malversation in Office. Fully
impressed with the considerations, and
q sense. of the magnifndsaof the trust, l
have proceeded with the investigation of
such charges. In the progress of such
examination, find that the proper de-
termination of the question will require
the examination Of xoluhinous docu-
unentary testimony, and large number
of witnesses, Which will occupy more
time than am able, in the offic al dis
charge of my duties, to bestow. -
have not availed myself of the an
thority given me by law, to direct the
District "A Atiorney of the city and county
of New York 70 conduct the INQUIRY into
the truth of the charges made. As q
discharge of the necessary duties evolv-s
ing upon that otl;cer, it must absorb his
entire time and attention [, therefore,
respectfully submit the snbiect for your
consideration, to the end, If il meets
with your approYal, that in the cases
now before me, and 10 all cases arising
under the provisions of the acts herein
referred to, authority may be conferred
on the Executive to appoint one or more
comm alopersr who shall, ,sunder his di-
rection, cohducs inquiry into The truth
of the charges made with such lower to
take testimony and force the ATTENDANCE
