It will be reailby every oneJwho lakes an in terest in the affairs of the State, or who regards hia own interests. The messago is well written. We pur posed referring at some length to its various recommendations to day, but as we are compelled to surrender most of the space at oftr command ion ; this page to its publication we must defer any special discussions to other times. The message has the merit of brevity as well as clearness. WE PRAISED IN VAIN. On January 10th, the Star in cam mending the President! for his re fusal to sustain Kellogg with Shis army, said, "we have all learnt that in regartfTo the -President's action there is no telling 'what a day may briner forth.' " We were reminded forcibly of this on Monday night. In the Inornipg we had prepared the editorial ; that appeared in 6ur last issue in regard to the political situation, in which we allnded to the conduct of the President with refer ence to Louisiana as being remarka- blyv and ; unexpectedly fair, in as mucITas he had maintained "a strict neutrality." But at night the tele grams brought us the order of he President to Gen. Augur, at New Orleans, in which he plearly inti mates that the Nicholls' government is - illegal, and that Packard j is the legal Governor, and that he must-Be- acknowledged as such1 if there "should be a necessity for a recognition of either. Of coufse Packard understands i what this means, hence his proclamation order ing the Nicholls government to give way. We recur to this now merely to draw" attention to the embarrass ments of an editor. If disposed, jas he should be, to praise that which is right and properdin the Chief Exec utive, he is met with the constant difficulty, that before his words lof indorsement are before the reader, some action may be taken by the highest civil authority to negative jor neutralize or render absurd all he has felt if becoming in him, nnder the circumstances, to say. ' J Grant is a constant riddle a regu lar .sphinx an oracle whose utter ances are extremely difficult to com prehend a 'living series of hiero glyphics whose characters are not o be precisely deciphered. j V ; .The telegraph also informed us pf the purpose of the Nicholls govern ment to resist any attempts that may" be made upon it by the Packard bo gus factum. We sincerely hope there will be no disturbances of the peace, but the prospect is threatening. j POLITICAL POlNTai. r Diaz, the Mexican usurper, his taken Grant for his model.

If the Democratic majority if the House Committee can agree with the Republican majority of the Senate Com mittee, then we shall believe that the hour has arrived when the lion is ready to lje down with the lamb. Cincinnati Times. PERSONAL. ; j .(Jol. Herbert B. Sanford, the British commissioner to the Centennial Exhibition, arrived in London on Christ mas day. The British government imme diately afterwards, congratulating him upon his success at Philadelphia, offered him the position of second officer of the South Kensington Museum, in Londofc, which Colonel Sanford has accepted. 1 The United States Court at Springfield, 111., has decided against re opening the settlement of the estate of the late Stephen A. Douglas, which has been so persistently litigated in the interest M the "Little Giant's" widow. This decision will probably be accepted as a final con firmation of the rights of present holders of the properly: Mr. Douglas' widow is now the wife of Gen. Williams, of the United States army. i Pauline Lucille Western,, the stress, who died in-the Pierrepont House, Brooklyn, of pneumonia, was bom in New Orleans in 1840. Her mother mar ried a theatrical manager named England who, observing the talent of Lucille and her sister Helen, put them on the stage in 1858. She attained success in "East Lynne" and "Oliver Twist," reaping large financial reward from .hnth - . .... j.vi iAwmg- tions were extensiye and her use of mo- yjr moo uinruyft ifUC . -' '., Luck seems to have fietttad on some of the clerks in the ' Quartermaster cuCai a ouice ai wasnington; lately, one of whom.

It is knowthagret sjuc-IJ cess has, within the last fouf years been achieved in various parts of -the world in the artificial propagation of fish. So liuportaiiji.haaVthiB become that the goveramehtr O! the United States has stablwJmd rertTerk for the purpose of.stokiag.,tbe;iiiier State rivers with suitable, breeds1 'of fish, and quite a number of States j of the Union . have" taken in handt he filling of vall their streams. V .Tber! 'i'Q-. suits so far have ; been ; satisfactory beyond the. most sanguine- . expecta tions. . I am in receipt of an .official letter from the Fish Commissioner! of the State' of Virginia, inviting iotir co operation in "the restocking j lot those rivers .which lie ' partjy vwithra both btates, notably the howan'and the Roanekej 3ese will be stocked with shad," striped bass, and other kinds, at the expense of tjbe United States, if the two States unite' in freeing them from obstructions (to the passage' of fish. Th earned will be done for our two ' giWat . Western streams, thei.Xadkiii.nnd CaiawbaJ if the authorities of South Carolina can be induced to unite with! us in re-amoving obstructions. But a pfopaf gating establishment of our own .could be created. at; a small : expense which would enable us in a few years to fill every stream: in the State, grat and small, with th-beltirfieties of fish, thus increasing both: the food and the pleasure of oxxx people. -Tho fact that ; within the recollcctidn of living me-Unost every treanrwfthi our borders was once alive with the finny tribe, is accepted by tire piscij cultunsts as jjroof that rthey : can be so filled again.'' -J6 unfailing are the conclusions oi science in mis matter that it is well authenticated that whilst in the natural state subject "to all the accidents and depredations of the open rivers, only two per cent, of, the eggs are ever batched into fishi in the - pi ptebted estabiishlments :of art'niiiety-eight per cent.! are ma- lureu w tue mze ai. wuion uiey are deemed sufficient t?

Should you establish a Department' of Agriculture, I recommend that the establishment .)f ; an; rjinstih-j tion I for this purpose be!rnade a part of the duty of whoever shall fhave: thfe department in charge, nd that tbe necessary acts be passed for keep ing open fish ways in our streams; and also for the protection of the sh in the spawning season. Though this may seem a small matter, the ex periment in other States, has been attended with very considerable and very beneficial results. i The Geological.

The University Js now in successful opera tion.' If the 1 General . Assembly should appropriate1 an amount suffi cient to establish one professorship -for the purpose of instructing in the theory and art of teaching, I am per suaded the best results would follow. A school of a similar character should also be established for tbe education of colored teachers,the want'of which is more deeply felt by the black race 'even than the white. In addition to the fact that it is 1 our plain duty to make ho discrimination in the matter of public education, I cannot too strongly urge upon you ' the '" im portance of ''the consideration that whatever of education we may be able to give to the children of the. State should be imparted under our own auspices, ; and with a thorough North Carolina spirit. . Many, philo sophical reasons can be given in sup port of this proposition. I am con scious of few things more dangerous than for a State to suffer the educa tion of an entire class of its citizens to drift into the hands of strangers, most of whom are not attached to our Institutions, if not positively un friendly tp them, .There are in , the State several . very, .respectable 1 insti tutions for the education of black people, and a small ' endowment to otie of them would enable it to ati lach a Normal School sufficient to answer the present needs of our black citizens. Their desire for educa tion is an extremely creditable one, and should be gratified as far as our means will permit;" In- short, I re- gard It as an" unmistakable policy i o imbue , these .black people i with ! a hearty North Carolina feeling, and make; them cease to look abroad for the aid 8 to their progress and civili zation, arid the protection of, their rights, as they have been taught to do, and learn them to loo& to their State instead , to convince them that their, welfare is indissolublv linked with ours. , ..' . ... ' j I transmit herewith the first bie nial report of the Commissioners of the Western Insane Asylum. It contains an interesting account of the location and partial erection of thje institution, which is destined to be another monument lb the humanity and liberality of our people. It would seem to be very satisfactory indeed. I think the location fortu nately chosen in all respects, the sur roundings ". most excellent, and the state of the- work in reasonable for wardness. For a wonder, the cost bo far is considerably below the orig nal estimates, and I am assured by disinterested partieH that -the work is thorough and substantial. I pre sume you will have no hesitation ii making the needful ' appropriation for the current year. In. regard tb the parent Asylum in this city, I re spectfully recommend the reducing of the number of Directors. Fifteen, the present number, is altogether too large, both for economy and efficien cy. Eight or nine would be amply sufficient. .: I also respectfully re commend that the Stewards of the several institutions penal and chari table, be compelled by law to buy all leading articles of supply by adver- tising lor proposals, instead of tbb present method of private purchase. It is thought this plan : would ; save money to tbe Treasury.

The indefatigable Chairman, Dr. - C. Tl'VMurohv. has igathered up a considerable amount of information, as set forth in this and preceding .reports, tb which I inf vite your attention. .

Skillfully and' economically man aged, an immense good can be effected at a very small expense to the State. I commend to your favor the effort, in this way to complete the Western North Carolina i Road through the mou ntains to the great Mississippi valley, j It is sad to contemplate the mishaps which have so long delayed that most important work, and to see the almost heart-broken disappoint ment of those Western people. Again and again both political parties, be fore and since the war, have pledged themselves to finish that road. The war stopped it oncej then the gigan tic corruption' of those' who had.it in charge' stopped it again; then the ruin of our credit seemed fbr awhile to put' an end to all operations for this generation at least. The expedi ent of finishing it with the convict labor, was, therefore, eagerly wel comed as a certain and cheap, though slow means of building the road. 1 I sincerely trust that nothing will p6 permuted to prevent your . liberal legislation in this behalf 1 The eh tiro available force of the peniten tiary, .except as , otherwise now .dis-, posed of, should, be put at once to the completion of the work from the present terminus of the road' to the! French Broad river, and tlien be divided between the short branch line arid the niain trunk line, according to pledges' heretofore made. I .reconitnend that, instead of the go vernment by cotmnissionersjthe affairs of the road shall be administei-ed by the ordinary machinery of railroad companies, with at leat eight direct ors, and that you provide : means to furnish the iron as it may be required. It u expected that before your assem bling again the road will be in opera tion, as far as Asheyille at least. '.. Many inquiries , are being made as. to the disposition of our public debt.1 I presume it is the intention and desire of our: people to provide for its liqui dation at some figure as soon as the necessary taxation can be borne, but wheq and on what terms it can be done, yon, as the ' immediate repre sentatives of the people, must decide. Whilst it is certainly desirable !;in many'! respects to take 'this debt up and restore pur credit tp its anciept standard, I an far, from' believing that we are Bubject to self reproach, or are in any way obnoxious to the sneers of those who hold claims upon us.Jn regard to much athe greater part of those claims, there is not the sliglitest moral obligation resting on the -conscience of any honest citizen of North Carolina. The story of the iniquities practiced upon us is an ample justification for our delay.i The mosfthat I can say to yon on this weighty matter is to' recommend the appointmgnt of a commission to ne-. gotiate'with our creditors and1 see what terms can be bbtained. - ' . : In conclusion, gentlemen, I com mend the wants and wishes of our en tire people to your wisdom and pa triotism. I think the sunlight j is breaking , through : the t darkness. Should our federal troubles be hap pily and peaceably adjusted, we might reasonably , anticipate a steady im provement in our condition. With good feeling between the white and black citizens of the State, the pros pect of wise legislation and just go vernment before .us, there is no rea son why all classes should - not go diligently to work. With energy and prudence there is every reason to hope that a greatcrop can be pro duced, and that all the other indus tries of our people may be so excited that tub year 1877 shall be known in history as- the era of our renewed prosperity.
