LAST HorRs OF THE DEPARTEE,
Up to the time OF meeting of the two
Houses last nightlit was believed by many
that the Govern or would call an extra ses-
sinE to consider THE Clifton Forge ;exten-
sion. Members generally expressed the
wish that he waull not impose this addi-
tionsl duty and consequent loss of time
from home upon them, but patriotieally de-
clareG that il he insisted they would be
compelled to serve. In his message Wetoing
the, ,canal-lease the Governor intimated that
such Il, course iH a certain contingency
might he taken. After that, however. both
houses took further :action-tlfe Senate
passed rile railroad bill,:a the Hoase In
dieated its preferesaee for canal eten-
sien--and no dout6 bis Excelleney then

In each house there yerethe usual closing

was appointed to wait upon the Governor.
In the Senate Mr.. Newherry delivered

WANT TO COME SOUTH.
TCincinnati ENQUIRER, Aug, 20. I

About three hundred Germans met
yesterday morning at Turner Hall for
the purpose Of organizing society for
the purpose OF colonizing in some one of
the Western or Southern States under
the homestead law. The meeting was
called to order by Mr.. Chr. Ref, who
stated that the only way to better the
situation of the laboring classes in the
cities would be to emigrate to some good
farming district, and there cultivate the
soil. He maintained that great many
people in Cincinnati would be willing to
join the movement il the government
would advance them a small sum Of
money to buy agricultural implements,
etc. The society should be formed, to
ask Congress for an appropriation for
this purpose.
At the afternoon meeting the attend
ance was not 80 large as in the morning.
Squire Markworth agreed to COM
municate with the authorities in Wash
ington and try to secure an appropria-
tion for the colonists to start upon. A
committee was appointed to prepare a
memorial to Congress which shall be
submitted to another meeting of the
colonists, September 2.
