We make the following extract from this letter, addressed to parties ut this place : "We saw, tlii* morning in the duili s. 1 notice of a hill repealing the Lien Law iof IStili. This stops nil pme'odiug towards adv.lin es. You will pie.is ? suspend nil issues of Inn*, its wo sh.ili j fill no order for ad vunccs until thi> qnes- ' ,;i n is settled in the As euibly. Il this act is repealed it will nearly ruin our planting friends, an 1 r-t ouei throw out of employ men! 25.000 laborers." (I the object of legislation bo the pub lie good?-to foster mi l durcl.m the. in E (if t in! State ' ?then wo nretot..lly at a loss to discover i the basis oil argument and reasoning for j the proposed aeti ill. It is so manifei't us to be apparent to every observer, that the application of I the limited? capital of (he country, through the operations of ihjs. act, to the industry of the country, has been such as constituted it nlmost the priuie basis of the action of the latter. A largo por tion of the pi nting interests of the _l iii fruitless waste, alia giveu employment, with fair earnings, to thousands of the freed people. Aud very many of these peoj-le. who, by industry aud frugality, have been enabled, from the earnings of the previous year, to rent or purchase small parcels of laud for cultivation, have secured assistance, and were now making arrangements to secure such assistance? which they could not otherwise obtain? under the provisions of this act. We know hundreds of colored men now making arrangements to carry on their crops the present year under this lien la*) who, by the inevitable results of its repoal, Mill tied their whole basis of work in the soil for the year check mated and their operations brought to ti perfect standstill. And so of hundreds of white fanners And if the Legislature repeal this net it cannot otherwise result than in reducing, to ?? great extent, the agricultural pr< ducts of the State the present year, as il will rmount virtually to the withdrawal of a large amount of capital from as sistance of this great central, vital in terest. If, therefore, the movement, to repeal this act be designed as a blow at the landed interests of the State?to cripple and obstruct this, in order to force the sale of lands, and thus to wrest it from tho bauds of present ownors?(and we confess we can see uo '.'?her possible motive)?it must not only signally fail of its design upon this class, separately ?uiuce it will fall upon the colored a* well as the wllitO man?and can only be uucomplishcu by pulling an incubus up on the industrial interests and energies of iliu country generally,and indicting n heavy 1<..-^ upon the earnings of tho State at lai^e. We cull upuu those iu authority to pause These are the facts of thircase, disconnected from uil political feeling ur principle?regardless of party dp race? and wo trust that those who now sit in the councils of the State will uot exhibit themselves so bliuded and prejudiced by partisan feeling as to rush wildly into a me?suro like this, regardless of the com mon good. Story of a Governess in England. A correspondent of the London Tele graph vouches lor the tollo?;??? ?" ?* true story : "A few days ago 1 stood by the side of a dying girl, her ago was seventeen, an this s her history: She was the youngest child in a large family. Her mother w as the widow of a clerk in a city bank, who died suddenly, leaving his wile and children destitute Her sisters went out as governesses ; she re mained at homo until increasing want rendered it necessary for her, too, to make her own living. She iouud em ployment as a daily governess. She walked each day four mihs to and from her work, and received a lew shillings a week. All day long she toiled, get ting no food until she reached home in the evening. W ho does not remember the hot Summer-of last year? Through the glare of that cloudless season this poor child starved on.' The sun with ered up rtower and s Ii rub and ulso with ered th ? br.i'in ol the d:iily governess. '?Day by d.i\ her strength melted away; at last she broke dowu. She could go no more t?> the daily lesson ; it was too late now to give her food, kindly smiles, or noie wages. Her cry from morn to night, a.- .-he r eked to and fro, pressing her haiios on Iiei hurtling forehead, was. ?.Mother, hi flier, my brnin is gone.' One day si. ? was i'-un l with.mm ban.1 copying wi.s .loin the iilhle. a oil with the other had ga-hed ?eiself-Tvito ? knife. It was tbeii 1 li.-t li-.n'l of t^-e^tatc. I advised l her sisters to see her. U W;iS their first visit to the hospital, til id they brought some Bowers to give the patient. They were just in time tu see lo r die. In her cell, with an aiigel mi.he oti tier young face, lay the little governess. Slie had fought the light of life to its bitter ctitl, and all was over now ; and with a look as though she blessed the world which killed her, her young spirit passed away to tiod. "There was a post moi'trm examina tion. Congestion of the brain was the cause of her death?hard Work, they siul. the cause of the congestion. A "TiTtle footH ? IhtTcTtTlrHWunj lit lulu ess on the part of lluase w'ho omployeuTTCTi might have saved her life sn i the broken heart of her widowed mother. The hiuls were Ringing gsyly, the sun was shining brightly, a:- they laid her by her lather's side in a quiet country grave. There were lew mourners, but some poor children and an old cripple, whom she taught and to whom she read the Hildo on Sundays?her only holidays?came some miles to see the last of the*little teacher. "Sir, in telling this Btory, I do not cast hlxme OI1 any one. hut I hope those who road it, if they employ governesses, will remember that human creatures are no! mere imichincS J ajid if the} see them fagged and worn, will think of the story ol t is poor ehiid. whose soul now rests in a kindier world than this." ? ? i . -. ? - ?

The Senate's .special order for one o'clock to day was tho third reading of the House bill to repeal an act outitled ?'an net to organize townships, and to defiue their powers and privileges." As soon as it was called up, Corbiu moved to take up with it the bill to amend an act entitled "an act to organize town ships and to defiue their powers und privileges." This motion caused consid. crable discussion, but was finally voted down and tho first bill consid-ercd. Arnim, Ilnyno, Cam, Maxwell, and Kiiinoy spoke in favor of the bill passing at once, arguing that the State was too sparsely settled for the act to be opera live with nay success; besides the expenses necessary to carry on its opera tions were more than the people could bear. Corbiu and Wright were opposed to the passage of the bill, taking the ground that the act had not been given a fair trial. After a discussion lasting a little over nu hour, the motion to read the bill the third time and have it en rolled was put aud carried? Arnim, Harber. Buck, Bieman, Duncan, Foster, Hoyt, Hayes, Hayne, Johnston, Leslie, Lunnoy, Montgomery, Maxwell, Nash, Owens, Raincy, Reid. Rose, Rodgcrs, Swails, Wiinbush, (2-1) voting in the affirmative. Corbiu, Greene, Jillsou aud Wright (4) in the negative. Cain was not in the chamber when the vote was taken. Had he been he would have voted in the affirmative. The Radical party of this State never never before did anylhiug that will give mote satisfaction than this. By their action the people arc relieved of the taxation ncessary to support a useless sys tem which cost tho State annually nbout one million one hundred und sixty-five thousand five hundred dollars. Corbiu: Jillson and Wright, after the passage of the bill, gave notice that they would, on to morrow, give their reasons for voting against its pus^tgc, atuLwished them rc Land for tub Landless.?The Legislature now proposes to appropriate one million dollars, ("making twelve bun died thousand dollars in all, ) for the purchase of lands to be sold on credit to the landless. It is claimed that the State will be well secured, because it will in all eases re ceive us much motiey for interest as it pays out for interest on the money which it borrows, as well as because it will have a firsj. lieu until the lands arc paid for. In the face of the facts that have come to light about the operations of tho land commission up to this time, it can hardly be proved that the land bought by the State can always be resold at the cost price. Aud uu addition of one- mil lion dollars to the State debt, however it may be ghizcned over, will uuqnestiona fbly afleei injuriously the financial credit which tho Radicals profess to bo so eager to maintain. Nor can we see that the appropriation is necessary for the colored people. They who have a little inoucy or a little credit, cm buy l<:id now of private persons, whether they be white or black. Tho land commission, if honestly ad ministered, will benefit the speculator or the thriftier* negro, aud will in no way improve the position ol the industrious poor. And there is no cud to the help deuiandad by those who cannot help theill&elvcs, as there is ho satiating the pecuniary appetite of the greedy Uadical adventurer. 1 he coloicd people, if they know what is best for them; will not desire the squandering of another million dollars.

Thk Domino Democratic Leader. ?Judge Thurmau, of Ohio, who sueoced cd to the seat lately vacated by Mr. Wade has given indications by numerous and ready utterances of the past two days that tbo Domooracy has at last found its Coming Man. That diminutiv? body in tbo Senate has suffered a se rious loss by tbo defeat' of Mr. Heqdricks, and its leadership has hitherto been uncertain. That doubt has now been dispelled, and Judgo Thurman stands forth as the most authoritative exponent of Democracy in our highest legislative body. His speeches yesterday indicated remarkable acutcness as a debator, and showed the ex-Chief Justice of Ohio, to be an accomplished parliamentary tacti cian. His unfailing courtesy toward hia opponents, his frankness and fairness in conceeding every legitimate inference from their facts, will undoubtedly give him great persoual popularity even with the Senatorial majority who recognire him as a foe man worthy of their steal.?
