In our Congress proceedings we give the veas and nays in the - House on the passage of the three million bill,with the Wilmot pro- ! viso. It will no doubt have the desired effect, which is to kill the bill, and throw every ob stacle in the way of the Executive in bring ing to a speedy termination the Mexican war. The Senate, we feel satisfied, will never pass the bill with this proviso, and if they should, we have every confidence in President Polk that he will veto it. Tiie correspondent of the Baltimore hsiin, writ ing on the subject says—“ The Wilmot proviso has passed the House (as I a week ago inti mated it would) by a full vote of 115 to 10G Willi sucli a rider it is hardly necessary to | add the bill will not become a law. The ! Senate will certainly never agree to it in its | . . ! present form, and if the Senate did, I doubt i very much wither the President would do I ought but return it with bis objections. The | Wilmot proviso is but another way of kill- \ ing the bill, and nothing else. It ought not to be considered any thing else north or south of Mason & Dixon's line; for it is a mere ab straction—a useless impediment thrown in the way of judicious and necessary legisla tion, and a paltry means of embarrassing the administration.” [ From Ihe Washington H/i/otl] THE WILMOT PROVISO—TREACHERY OF SOUTHERN AND WESTERN FEDE RALISM. w e were unable to attend the Capitol to- : day; but we understand from the letter of a Iriend, now before us, that the previous spe culation which he had communicated to us upon tiie intended movement of the federal party on Mr. Wilmot’s proviso, lias been con tinued by their course in the Committee of the \\ hole, to-day. We do not undertake to vouch for the accuracy of his statement, but lie stales that “(he southern wbigs secured the passage of the Wilmot proviso by their votes, or abstaining from voting in commit tee— voting against Droomgoqle’s point of order, winch was calculated to prevent a di rect vote by yeas and nays in the House against tiie extension of tiie Missouri com j romise line to the acquired territory—and, finally, by abstaining from voting on Lile main proviso as an amendment.. “Messrs. Davis, Young, McHenry, Grider, and Trumbo, till of Kentucky, are said to have voted in Committee of the Whole for the Wilmot proviso—while some 15 or 20 south- I rrn whigs did nol vote at all, remaining in their seats, if the five here named had vo ted with the south, the proviso would have j #een kd.cd by one majority. Every southern j democrat voted against it.” ►Should this statement be correct, it shows j a policy ol p-jrty tactics on the part of the i federalists, which looks much more to the in- ; terests of mere p'lrly than of the ichole conn- j try. It shows that they design to throw the j whole political theatre into convulsion—to d struct the country upon this agitating sub ject—to throw the democratic party into dis sensiun, in order that they may avail them- j selves of it to rise upon our ruin, at the haz- j ard of agitating tiie country upon this mo inentousjsubject. If this be so, say we, let the design be exposed, and the public indignation rebuke it authors. And what must we think of those dem ocrats, who would stir at all this agitating question, in the midst of a foreign war? Ur, what shall we think of men who would over look Lite great principle of community of in terests and of compromise of rights, upon which the constitution itself was founded, and the Missouri compromise was based. Let the north be deeply impressed with the danger which it is provoking, and the utter impossibility of prevailing on the south to acquiesce in the inquahly which the north proposes. AI order. It appears from the letter which follows, receiv- t ed lasi evening, that .Mr. Benjamin B. Hussey, a gentleman long and favorably known in this city, has l*een barbarously murdered at Dublin,in Lau t ens county, Ga. The letter does not afford any cine to the motive which could have prompted this diabolical act.

Dublin, (Laurens county, Ga.) Feb. 13. | To the Editors of the Charleston Courier: On the 11 tli instant, about noon, Mr. Benj. B. j Hussey drove up into this p ace, having in corapa- ; tiv with him a young man calling himself John W. i Gibbs, who was taken np by him (Mr. if.) as an act of kindness, he (Gibbs) being on foot and travel ling to Augusta, in this State. At night, they were carried to the sameioom to lodge. On the j next morning, fl2th,) about daylight, the family ■were aroused by a noise issuing from the chamber ! in which the two travellers lodged. They imine- I diately proceeded to the room, where .Mr. Hussey was found dead, having eighteen large wounds in flicted on his body with a dirk knife which Gibbs had previously purchased. Dr. Cohen.boarding in the same house, was immediately called, also Dr. Gaston, but he (II.) was dead. Gibbs was im mediately arrested and committed to jail, await- j mg his trial on the first Monday in next month.— i i The Coroner held an inquest over the body of Hus sey. The jury returned a verdict of w ilful and voluntary murder, with malice aforethought, a gainst Gibbs. .Mr. If. was decently interred, a respectable number of citizens attended his burial. An in ventory of his effects has since been taken by four i gentlemen of the place, under oath, appointed for that purpose, who have turned them over to. Mr. J. 11.

Onr last report left the cotton market in an ex ceedingly unsettled, drooping and unsatisfactory state, the unusually heavy stock on sale, and a sudden advance in freights, having caused a mate rial and rapid decline in prices. These causes of | depression have since operated with increased force, assisted in the same direction by a further j decline in the rates of Exchange, and the conse- I quence has been that the market again gave way on Wednesday and Thursday fully ic from the rates of Tuesday, middling to good middling cot- i tons having been sMI at 10 a join, and even less, i it is asserted, in some instances, the market being ( so unsettled that great irregularity prevailed in tiie transactions that took place. The sales of these j two days amounted to about 8.300 bales. Vester- ! day a more active enquiry prevailed, and fully i 10,000 bales were disposed of, the market acquir- j i ing more steadiness and firmness as the day advan ced, and closing at rates which exhibit a slight re covery from the extreme depression of the two pre vious days. The further decline above mention ed has been confined to grades below middling fair, in which nearly all the business has been done; the better descriptions, ow ing to the compar atively light, supply of them, having about main tained the position in which they were left at the ' date of our last report, though with few or no i transactions. The total sales of tlie week sum up i 33,7u0 bales, of which 15.509 bales have been dis i posed of within the past three days, taken mostly | lor England and the Continent.
