Cumming, of Nebraska. The meesege of Acting Gov Cumming to the Territorial Legislature of Nebraska, was delivered on January.l6th. In eommencing it, the Goveraor regres the noo arrival of Gov. Burt « successor, as he is uawiiling and unable to point out the policy of another; therefore he limits himgelf to s few recom- macndations ot a general character. He speaks of the firm and judicious conduct of Gov Burt, and of his efficiency, in high terms, and regrets his desth. He calle atten- tion to the Pacific Railroad scheme, and rec ommends that Congress be petitioned, through their delegate, to have the road constructed up the valley of the Platte, giving his reasons why that route should be preferred. But in view of the sectional conflict with which the subject is surrounded, he suggests that the memorial ehould principally ask for a tele- graphic and letter mail communication with the Pacific, and that the emigrant route and new settlements be protected from the Indians by the same plan so strongly urged by Sena- tor Gwin during the last session of Congress, viz., a weekly express mail and proper pro- tection forit. He saya: “In the enactment of a Code of Laws, and the establishment of public institutions, you have the benefit of an ample fund of experi- ence treasured by neighboring Sta! which havo passed through the same ordeal. It is believed that, by a comparison of the r statu tory provi , and with the co-operation of the Territorial J: regener f system of law and practice may be framed, sufficiently eymmet- rical avd complete, to need but little material modification by future assemblies.” “T would also suggest, in this connection, that specimens of every spectes of mineral, fourd on the premises of any citisen, (not ex- cepting Lime Rock, Sand-stone, Slate, Gyp- sum, and the products of metalliferous veins.) shall be sent, carefully described, to the exec- utive office, to be deposited in a territorial cabinet, which will be of material advantage in effecting a just conception and proper de velopment of our mineral wealth.”” In regard to Indians, he fears that they may Prove troublesome during the spiing, and therefore recommends that volanteers be called out. He concludes bis message by speaking of the fierce contest which preceded the fo. mation of the Territory, andof the breaking down of geographical lincs between the North and tho South in thus constituting a Territory, whose Citizens have relatives in every State, and then recommends that no sectional centroversy be introduced to their assemblies, thus maring the harmony with which they had so happily commenced. The mersage is characterized by a firm, con- fident tone, and is well worthy preservation with archives of the new Territory. Bey. Charles A. Davis. This gentleman, who now resides at Rich. mond, Va, having been wantonly assailed in the co!umos cf the Penny Post, published at Richmond, replies in a manner that is not very highly relished by the editor. To give our readers an idea of the manner in which the Reverend gentleman wield’ his pen, wo quote the concluding portion of his letter : “You have been pleased to enlighten the puk- lie in regard to wy personal history, but have, (ignorantly, I have no doubt,) fallen into several gross errors; which I ought to correct.
