HEAVY
ROBBERY!
Dollar* worth of Goods Stolen!
Last Thursday morning, about 2 o'clock, the extensive Dry Goods'establishment of CHAIO Co., was robbed of some two thousand dollars worth of Silks and Satins. The burglars effected an entrance by breaking in one of the back shutters in the rear of the building, and removing one of the largo panes of glass of the window. Ever}* drawer and shelf was rummaged, and none but the costliest goods taken.— The robbery must have boon perpetrated by some one acquainted with the premises. "We think it high time for our citizens to take some effective measures to protect their property. The incendiary and burglar is in our midst, and no man's property is safe. The employment of a night police (in this case) has been found inefficient, and it now remains for our citizens to adopt some organization which will ferret out. and bring to justicc the rascals that infest our midst.

TLL£ LEGISLATURE.
The extra session of the Legislature convened on last Saturday. The Senate clcctcd .Jas. II. Yawtcr, Principal Secretary Jas. N. Tyner, Assistant SecretaryA. L. Shortridgc, Doorkeeper.
Tbe Honse elected Jonathan W. Gor. dan, Speaker Richard J. Ryan, Clerk George H. Chapman, Assistant Clerk and Robert .Jennings, Doorkeeper. No bills have yet been passed. Tbe Committees are all appointed, and it is fair to presume that in another week laws will be enacted for the collection of the State revenue and the revaluation of property for taxation. The following resolution was passed in the Senate OH "Wednesday, the 24th, by a vote of 26 against 22.
Rcsolccd, That the pretended election of Jesse D. Bright and Graham N. Fitch to the Senate of the United States by a portion of the members of the General Assembly of the State, during the session of 1857, was illegal, unconstitutional aud void, and that the State of Indiana is not at this time legally and constitutionalsrepresented in the Senate of the United States.
FASTEN YOUR WINDOWS AND DOORS.—It stands every citizen in hand to have their windows and doors securely fastened at night. There can be no doubt but that our town is infested with a gang of thieves. Breaking into stores, robbing clotheslines aud wood-piles, is.the order of the night.

A superior article of Men's Calf and Kip Boots always on hand, very cheap also, a plendid article of Ladies' fine and heavy Shoes, at remarkably low prices. "We also venture to assert that Knox keeps the best manufactured Clothing in our city, and it is no use to say that it is cheap, for all know that he keeps emphatically the CHEAP STORE. A magnificent stock of Ladies' and Gents' furnishing goods may also be found at the aforesaid concern. We advise all, cither Lady or Gent, in want of any of the above named articles, to give this new house a trial, as they do business on the cash system and can afford to undersell those who sell on twelve and twen-#}*-four months.

-3 'Governor's Message. Senators and Representatives Previous to the year 1852, provision was made in this State for annual sessions of the Legislature, but the members of the Convention who framed our existing Constitution believed the biennial sessions, after that period, would, in ordinary times, be sufficient. They provided, however, that when in the opinion of the Governor, the public welfare shonld demand it, he might call a special session of the Gencal Assembly. i.
The thirty-ninth session of the General Assembly which adjourned on the 9th day of March, 1857, did not pass any law for the purpose of raising a revenue for the years 1857 and 1858. Until that time it was confidently hoped by the people of the State that their Representatives would at all times be willing to provide the necessary means to sustain every department of the Government, established by their Constitution. They also expected that provision would be made to support every Benevolent Institution they had approved. They felt that although improvident legislation had in former days impaired the credit of their State, as similar legislation had injured the reputation of others, yet, that for many years, the credit of Indiana, maintained in every particular, was to them a matter of just pride and congratulation. They felt that although Indiana, in the days of her improvidence, had been unable to maintain the high cliaraetcr of a sovereign State in responding to all her pecuniary obligations, yet she had now attained to that position of wealth and influence among her sister States, that any failure to redeem every undertaking would be injurious to her credit and her honor.
Notwithstanding these and other considerations, the members of the last Legislature, for reasons into which it is not my duty to inquire, failed to enact the laws necessary to sustain the various interests to which I have alluded. Shortly after such adjournment, I informed t'ue people of the State that there was necessity for legislation, and expressed a readiness, whenever the laws could be passed, to call the members together. Believing that there was such a want of harmony among them, that necessary legislation could not be secured, I declined to exercise the power entrusted to the Governor, to call a special session of the General Assembly. But a new Legislature having been elected, I have at the earliest practicable day exercised the power to which I have before alluded.
Although that Legislature failed to appropriate the means which were then in the Treasury to sustain the interests for which they had been raised the Administrative and Executive officers of the State believed that such was the regard that the people of Indiana had for the Government they had established—such their anxiety for the maintenance of their Constitution, and the support of their laws, that it was their imperative duty to apply the money in their possession to the purposes for which it was collected. From that adjournment of the Legislature, those officers have endeavored to sustain every interest of Indiana, as provided for by her Constitution and her laws. They found that the laws of the State provided that the Auditor, Treasurer and Governor, were authorized to procure money to pay the interest upon the public debt. Relieving that the welfare of the State would be promoted by paying such interest, a loan was negotiated on the 22d of June, 1868, with the Board of Commissioners of the Sinking Fund for one hundred and sixty-five thousand dollars, which was applied to the payment of such interest. After the State has undertaken to pay all the interest and principal of her debt, her sovereign integrity demands that her obligations should 'be redeemed. Section 1 of article 9 of the Constitution declares that "It shall be the duty of the General Assembly to provide by law for the support of Institutions for the education of tho Deaf and Dumb, and of the Blind, and also for the treatment of the Insaue."
No appropriation was made by the Legislature to sustain those Institutions, but the money was in the Treasury—the clear provision of the Constitution' that those Institutions should be supported, the officers of the State thought should be maintained and executed, and accordingly they applied the funds in their possession to that purpose.
The officers of the State have been enabled, by an economical administration of the public funds, to thus far sustain every department of the government, and pay the interest on our indebtedness, leaving a balance in the Treasury of $131,342 2J? without making any loan except the one to which I have before alluded.
No tax having been levied for the years 1857 and 1858, all the resources for sustaining the Government, or maintaining

Treasury, and that a tax be levied for the year 1858. The report of the Auditor of State will
exhibit to you the amount which it is estimated will be necessary to raise. If the tax is levied at once, it can be collected in time to meet the ordinary expenditures of the government. It wiil be necessary to negotiate a loan to meet the interest which will be due upon the public debt upon the first day of January, 1859. No difficulty will be found in negotiating such loan, provided the levy is made for the year 1858.
Justice to the residents and owners of the property of the State demands that the expenses of the Government should be paid by them equally, according to the value of their property. To secure so desirable a result, it has long been the policy of Indiana to have frequent valuations of all the real property within the State. Accordingly, on the 13th of February, 1851, an act was passed to appraise the real estate, and to make the value of the same equal and uniform. Since that time no

of property has been very large. If that increase had been uniform, a necessity for the new appraisement would not exist.— But since the passage of that law, a great difference has arisen in reference to the relative value of real estate. When the last assessment was made, there was but one railroad completed to Indianapolis, from any point in the State, nor were any other of the existing works finished. You cannot but appreciate the effect that those roads have bad upon the value of the property of tht State. Indeed, it hu to in-
I have thus briefly called to your attention those interests of the State which demand, in my opinion, your immediate action. I have done thus in the hope that a few days only of your time will be required, deferring to make any other recommendation until you assemble at the regular session, which will be on the 6th day of January, 1S59. In conclusion, 1 hope that harmony may prevail in your councils, and that wisdom and patriotism may guide your actions

Greased the value of such property that it OLD KENTUCKY SPEAKS--I1ER CRITis confidently believed that a new assessmerit would show that the taxables of the State now amount to four hundred million dollars. If this view of the subject is correct, it is manifestly unjust that the revenues paid for the support of ihe Government should be levied upon the ap praisement of 1851.
At my request the Directors of the State Prison have made a partial report as to th-a condition of that Institution. You will observe by an examination of that report that the new cell house has been finished, but even now, after the same has been completed, such is the limited capacity of that Institution that it is impossible to retain with safety, or employ with profit, more than three hundred and fifty convicts. The number which will be confined there by the first of January, 1859, will, in all probability, amount to five hundred. You will therefore see the absolute necessity of either greatly enlarging the existing prison, or of erecting an additional one in some other part of the State. In view of the prison being located upon the southern boundary of the State, thereby causing a heavy expense in transporting the convicts from the various counties, and believing that a portion of the labor of the inmates could be more profitably employed in some other locality, and relying upon the advice and opinion of those most experienced in managing such institutions, that three hundred to three hundred and fifty convicts are as many as should be confined in one locality, I accordingly join with the Directors and Warden of the Prison in recommending to you that a law be passed at an early day, providing for the erection of another State Prison, and that the same be located somewhere in the northern portion of the State. Little can be done toward the erection of said Prison until the spring ot 1859. If it should be regarded by you as desirable to use the labor of a portion ot the convicts in the erection of said prison, one hundred and fifty to two hundred ot them could be employed for that purpose. If you should decide to pass such a law, provision should be made for tbe purchasing of more land for the use of the new, than belongs to the State adjoining the present prison. There are generally confined in the prison many who could be profitably employed in raising necessaries for the support of the Institution.

LA'i'KIl ntOM CALIFORNIA. NEW YORX, NOV. 2-1.—A private dispatch from New Orleans states that the Quaker City from Tehuantepcc, which arrived on Saturday, brings .California dates to the 5th inst.
The steamer which left San Francisco on the same day for the Panama route, took down $2 250,000 in specie. The California news is not important.
The heavy rains before reported had been followed by severe cold, and much snow had fallen in tiie mountains. 'Business was reviving, and real estate in San Francisco was advancing.
The regular dispatch from the New Orleans agent of the Associated Press was forwarded by the Seaboard Telegraph line, embracing the California news, but in some mysterious manner has failed to reach us. It was received at Augusta, hut lias apparently been lost between that point and Washington.
The trip from New Orleans to California can be made in less than twelve days.— Everything was progressing well on the Isthmus, all but twenty-five miles of this end of the road was in good running order, and would be all right in two weeks.— Twenty coaches were running.
It is proposed to open a new route via the river Jallepic, which will cut off several miles cf the worst part of tho road, and shorten the distance to one hundred miles.
There is plenty of wafer at the Coatzacoaleos bar, and no difficulty is experienced at Yentosa. It is quite as good a harbor as Yalparaiso. The Isthmus is very healthy.
TEH DENS, HER BRECKE.F RIDGES HER PRESS. The following is from the Louisville Democrat:
A GREAT MAN.—George Lippard, in his work called "The Nazarene," thus speaks of President Jackson: "He was a man! Well I remember the day I waited upon him. He sat there in his arm chair—I can see that old warrior's face, with its snow-white hair, even now. We told him of the public distress—the manufacturers ruined, the eagles shrouded in crape, which were borne at the head of twenty thousand men into Independence Square. He heard us all. We begged him to leave the deposits where they were —to uphold the great Bank in Philadelphia. Still he did not say a word. At last one of our members, more fiery than the rest intimated that if the Bank were crushed, a rebellion might follow. Then the old man rose. I can see him yet. "Come!" he shouted, in a voice of thunder, as his clutched hand was raised above his white hairs—"come with bayonets in your hands, instead of petitions—surround the White House with your legions—I am ready for you all! With the people at my back, whom your gold cannot buy nor awe, I will swing you up around the Capitol— each rebel of you—on a gibbet high as Hainan's!" 'When I think,' says the author, 'of that one man, standing there at Washington, battling with all the powers of Bank and panic combined, betrayed by those in whom lie trusted, assailed by all that the snake of malice could hiss, or the fiend of falsehood howl—when I think of that one man placing his back against the rock and folding his arms for the blow, while lie uttered his vow: "I will not swerve one inch from the course I have chosen!"—I st confess that lbs records of Greece and I'ome—nay, the proudest days of Napoleon or Cromwell, cannot furnish an instance of will like that of Andrew Jackson, when he placed his life and fame on the hazard of a die, for the people's welfare."
There is one man in the Union, though never an occupant of the White House, and without the power of official patronage, has shown the moral courage and lirmnc.SH of the old Patriot of tiie Hermitage. Four years ago he v.as set upon by the a itislavcry cohorts, in the Senate of the Tinted States and cut of it. lie was burnt in effigy, hooted and howled at by Abolition mobs, but he never quailed. Last winter he was assailed by a sectional clamor from the South, and by all the pr wer of official patronage. lie has been pursued and persecuted, reviled and slandered by those whom lie has all his political life defended: but he moves on in the even tenor of his way, holding and defending the same political creed, and boldly defying enemies in front and rear. That man is the champion of popular and State rights—Stephen A. Douglas!

In the year 18-10, a young man, who was rich and engaged in a lucrative business in Cincinnati, became enamored of a beautiful and amiable girl—the daughter, by the way, of wealthy parents—and, after a brief courtship, married her. He loved her dearly. She loved him dearly. A fortune of happiness seemed ii: store for them but evil days came, and after a but violent struggle with fortune, tiie young man became bankrupt, lie was left without a dollar, but not without a hope. The gold mines of California were open to the adventurous and to the industrious. 11c would leave his beautiful wife and seek its glittering shores, where he would remain until his fallen fortunes were revived.— The resolution once tiken was soon executed. lie came to California—but the cloud still hung over him.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING. The meeting at the Hall of tbe Honse of Representatives last night, was largely attended, and was organized \by calling Hon. M. T. CARXAHAN to the Chair. A call was made for Hon. JAMES HUGHES, who took tbe stand and said that in order that he might not be misunderstood he had reduced his remarks to writing. He defended the DUED SCOTT decision and the English bill, and said he had gone down in the fight of 1858 with liis flag flying. His speech was logical, eloquent and powerful. His remarks will be given in full hereafter.
Governor WILLARD was then called out. He passed a high and glowing eulogy upon Democratic policy. Ho cudorsed the Administration, but found no fault with that Democrat who honestly differed wiih him, so he voted and fought for the regular ticket. He proposed to read no man out of the part}*, but if men would continue to wage war upon the Democratic Administration and Democratic principles he. considered them no longer Democrats, but as belonging to the Opposition, llis spcccli was eloquent, and was received with applause by the audience.
Hon. J. E. MCDONALD was the next speaker, and he spoke openly and freely, lie rejoiced at the success of Judge-DOUG-LAS in Illinois, but would not join in the "jollification" of that event with the men who rejoiced that traitors in Illinois had failed to do what par excellcncc Douglas men had done here. lie urged peace and and liarmonj', and the burial of this question of difference. His remarks were brief and well timed, as was evinced by the satisfactory manner with which they were received. There wa3 some little sparring of a personal character between lion. LEW WALLACE and Hon. JOHN L. ROBINSON, called out by an attack upon the latter by Mr. WALLACE in regard to the cause of the defeat of the Democratic party iu tho Congressional and Legislative elections.
After which lion. C. L. DUNHAM was loudly callcd for. Mr. DUNII.IM responded in one of the best speeches we ever heard from him—one that commanded the attention of tho audience from beginning to end. lie poured oil upon the troubled waters, and by his eloquence and reasoning banished from the hall the evidences of discord which was manifested previous to his speech. Mr. DUNHAM was conservative and conciliatory, and his specch evidently had a happy cffect. Hon. D. W. VOORIIEES was called out, after Mr. DUNHAM had concluded, and made a forcible and eloquent speech. Dr. W. F. Summon closed the evening's entertainment.

It is the purpose, we believe, of the Wwr Department to adopt the same line of policy against these Camanches of North Texas, and the not less formidable Navajoes of New Mexico, that has been adopted with so much success in Washington amd Oregon Territories that is, instead of posting troops along the whole lino of white settlements to watch out for the savage and to repel, as well as they can in their dispersed condition, his stealthy assaults upon the settlers, to concentrate the troops, assumethe aggressive and carry the war homo into the heart of his settlement and haunts and this, in the winter time, when he is not roving upon the plains, but is ensconsed in secluded retreats with his. wives, children and effects, for the winter.

We .believe it is intended, wherever practicable, to carry this policy even further and, in regard to the wild and unruly tribes but nominally friendly, instead of posting troops at fixed points to remain on the watch ready to afford protection when required to adopt the plan of requiring the troops to move as the tribes move withtlieir families, and to be always encamped within striking distance of their settlements so that any outbroak or outrage committed by the Indians may be punished by an im-me-iiate blow struck at the very heart of his tribe.
HOW FUSIO.Y VICTOKIKS AKL \VO\. The Baltimore Republican relate au anecdote of an omnibus which drew up to the bouse of Mayor SWANN, of that city, on the night of the municipal election.— Three cheers were given for the Mayor, when the spokesman for the omnibus lino said: 'Fellows how many are there in this bus?' 'Twenty.' shouted the crowd.—
How many is twenty times twenty?' continued the speaker. 'Four hundred,' aid voices in tho crowd. 'Then said tho spoakthis omnibus gave four hundred voti*:i tor Mr. Swann.' Another wild hurrah' rent the air, accompanied by the discharge of pistols*, I've. This fact is from an eyewitness, and it shows the manner iu which twenty thousand majority was manufactured for Mr. Swann." have never been able to get our cotemporary of the Gazette, to take any notice of t'ue Baltimore election outrage.— We suppose ii tho city could be moved to Kansas, and the perpetrators of the f'rau.h were Democrat instead of Fusionists, it.i silence would be broken Cincinnati Enquirer.
