THE QUESTION OF FINAL ADJOURNMENT.
The question Of final adjournment now looms up
every day and Is being anxi0usy considered by the
members OF both Houses. II Is probable that the
within the next two weeks; but, then, the import.
ant matter Of the consideration OF the consttu-
SO lar, nothing has been definitely settled by the
Governor on this point. Business will be rushed
at the END OF the sessSn 80 rapidly ha at
for few days. rest and for this reason it is proba.
BILE that the more general desire among city and
rural members Is that short recess be taken
when the legislative business proper is finished,
the Legislature to meet again at n stated time
to consider the constitutional amendments excu-
sively. On Thursday the Joint Committee on Con-
stitutonal Amendments held meeting, at W hich
II was resolved to request Governor Dix to call
an extra session OF the Legislature. The great
Importance OF having the amendments considered
this year Is that II they are deferred by the present
Legislature their submittal to the people for &C
ceptancc cannot take place until 1867. All things
considered, 1t is probable that though Governor
Dix Is opposed to an extra session, he Will, under
the circumstances and with the understanding
that the constitutional amendments exclusively
shall be the object OF the extra session, yield to the
recommendation OF the joint committee.

Remarks of an earnest and practical charac-
ter were then made by large number of
the clergy and brethren present.
Hon Franklin Fairbanks of st. Johns
bury. President Of the Association, having
arrived. now assumed the chair and an
pounced that an address would be delivered
by the Rev. c. c. Torrey of Charlotte. Mr..
Torrey.came forward and gave as his theme,
The study of the Scriptures" He urged
tie great importance of more thorough
study of the Bible, and cited the 18th
Psalm: Teach me, Lord, the way of Thy
statutes, and | shall keep it unto the end
and read from passages in Proverbs and
elsewhere. to show how we are taught that
this Is our duty.

They were won: to portray the heroic deeus

We predicted in the Nation at an early
stage in this movement the very serious
effect on the prosperity of the West ITSELF
which would be certain to result, in the
long run, especially if it were encouraged
by the newspapers and other advisers who
ought to know better. The Chicago
Tribune ridiculed what We said, and did
what il could to fan the flames Of the farm
ers' discomfort by advising az remedy for
the existing evils the confscation OF a large
mart of the capital invested in the railroads.
In this same newspaper We now find it stated
that at the beginning of the panic eight
Illinois railways were engaged in important
works of construction, which would have
- facilitated transportation, rendered travel
safer. and living cheaper but which now
cannot be carried out. " The Lake Sh0re
and Michigan Central we're laying double
tracks mainly of steel, to facilitate the move

Burlington. Rock Island, Alton, and North
western were also putting down large
quantities of steel rails. and periecting their
MAGNIFICENT systems of roads. The ILLINOIS
Central was assisting the Southern Kall-
road Association to form an Iran route
between Chicago and New Orleans, and
several companies were endeayoring to
bring coal much cheaper to chicago.

railroad men foresaw the crisis, but were
nowerless to avert 1t, because only the

ANOTHER DEVASTATING EASTERN WAR;
Another great war has broken out in Central
Asia. The state of affairs in Turkestan seems
to be strangely confused. In khokan, one of
the three Khanatcs of Central Asia, civil
war is said to be raging. Among the Tur-
comans in the deserts around Khiva the
fighting is general and of the most obsti-
nate character. The Afghans have got in
to trouble with the Persians, and danger
Gus intrigue is being carried on with the
Emir of Bokhara The excitement has
spread not only over the whole of Turkes-
tan, but it has reached the borders of the
Chinese Empire, and Yakub Bay is invol-
we'd in what may prove to be serious
struggle with the children of the sun. Ac-
eording to the latest intelligence the whole
region known as Central Asia is in state
of decentralization. The late war against
Khiva seems to have reused the barbarian
tribes of those high ATTITUDES out of their
lethargy, and from the borders of Persia to
the Chinese frontier the war spirit finds
free and full expression.
The Afghans recently sustained a severe
defeat from the Persians at Baltch.
Two Swiss travellers have been murdered
by natives in Central Asia There is rea.
son to believe that the Atghans design the
conquest and annexation of Bokhara.

Summer is gone, but Autumn
Is red on the corn and heavy
Yet skies are sweet and clear
As in the youthful year,
The forests full and leafy.
But in the northern cloud
Sits winter dark and rude,
And summers golden glory
Who will remember
In the long, long, dismal hours,
In the days OF December
The morning hopes Of childhood,
The visions pure and tender.
To the broader day Of youth,
To the keen high light OF truth,
And reason we surrender
But as we touch the goal
Black winter numbs the soul
And msnhood's CLEAN OF glory
Who will remember
In the long, long dismal hours
Inthe days Of December
All! were such life, life only,
Better not be than be thus
To see through this brief DAY
Hope fall from hope away
And to blank nothing leave US
o still our vague unrest,
Gods heart within the breast
For 10 Gods eternal summer
Who will rementer
The long. long dismal hours

carving deSuatches for the commanding
officer OF Fort Niagara to Canandalgua, he
