others, when a to adjournwas made (
and lost.
The debate was then resumed by Mr. Thomp- !
son, of Pa., in favor of the one hour rule.
hoggin moved to lay the whole subject
upon the tabic, which was disagreed to.
After some further debate, Mr. Brodhead
moved the previous question, which was se
conded, and the amendment of Mr. Pollock
was agreed to.
ihe substitute reported from the committee, '
as amended, was then adopted, so that the one i
hour rule is retained, with the privilege to tho
member reporting the measure, to open and
close the debate, and to every member propos- j
ing an amendment to occupy five minutes in
explaining each amendment.
'lhe rule reported from the committee to
authorize a register of those who intend to ;
debate a bill, resolution, or other matter, to be
kept by the Clerk, and the order of their speak
ing to be determined by lot, was rejected.
A rule was adopted that "members may ad
dress the House or committee from the clerk’s
desk, or from a place near the Speaker's chair.”
[This is the plan adopted in the British and 1
French Parliaments.]
A rule was also adopted that except during
the last ten days of the session, no motion to
suspend the ruics shall be entertained by the ,
Speaker, except on Monday of every week;
and except also for the purpose of going into
committee of the whole, or for providing for
discharge of the committee from the further
consideration of any bill referred to it, after
acting, without debate, on all amendments
that may be offered.
A rule was also adopted, that whenever the
Committee of tho hole finds itself without a
quorum, the chairman shall thereupon cause
the roll to be called and the Committee shall
rise and report the names of the absentees to
the House, which shall be entered upon the
journals.
A rule was also adopted that in Committee
of the M hole, all business shall be considered !
and concluded in the order of reference to !
“them by the House, except general appropria
tion bills, which may be preferred at the dis
cretion of the Committee.
Upon the last resolution reported from the
committee providing for a committee on the
Smithsonian Institution, a debate arose, in
which Mr. Andrew Johnson advocated the ap
pointment of the committee, and denounced
the manner in which the legislation in rela
tion to the Institution had been conducted.
Before any question had been taken upon
the rule for the appointment of the Smith
sonian Committee, Mr. C. J. Ingersoll offered
a resolution, which was adopted, that the rules (
of the late House, with the modifications this 1
day adopted, be the rules of the House for the
present session of Congress. The House then
adjourned.
Look Off! —There is an impression abroad

Mon-day, Dec. 20th, 1847. I
Mr. Shockley moved to reconsider so much
•of the journal of Saturday as relates to the
rejection of the bill "To revive and amend j
rn act entitled ‘An act to incorporate Kioka
•Church, assented to December, 1739, and for
• other purposes.’ ” The House agreed to re
consider.
Mr. A\ ulker of Richmond, moved to recon
sider so much of the journal of Saturday as
relates to the rejection of the bill “To make it |
penal to kill Deer at certain periods.” The j
.House agreed to reconsider.
Mr. Bartow, from the Committee or- the j
state of the Republic, made a report relative
• to the boundary line of Florida.
The House took up the special order of the
day cm the bill “For the collection of Taxes
for the support of Government for the years ;
1818 and 1849, and thereafter.” Several
schemes being considered and amended, the
House adjourned without taking a vote.
The night session was engaged in passing
bills of a local character, to incorporate Towns, j
Churches, abolish and create election pre- I

[communicated.]
Mr. Editor : I observe in your columns a
notice of Mr. Gliddon's Lecture which, though
complimentary, is scarcely enemgh so, to satis
fy the demands of my admiration.
I have been some time acquainted with the
reputation of Mr. Gliddon, in connection with
- the subject of Egyptian Antiquities, and have
heard of the great interest excited wherever
he has lectured, but I had not realized, until
hearing him and seeing his magnificent collec
• lection of illustrations, how well deserved was
this reputation, and .how intense this interest
might become.
To all classes of intelligent persons, the
subject. is one-of absorbing interest, and all
such persons- should encourage this effort to
instruct and please us.
There is no other such source of information
to be had in our country. Some of the na
tions of Europe have Egyptian Museums
where such advantages as Mr. Gliddon gives j
us may be found, but we have them not here. ■
Yet in their stead we now have, brought to our
> doors, as it were, by Mr. Gliddon, the oppor
r tunity of seeing, and knowing, and realizing
something of that wonderful people, their
habits, their arts, their works, their wars,
-their religion—in short a sort of illustrated '
or illuminated history of their existence,
? through all its stages, from birth to the tomb, j
:r as all these things were some four thousand i
r
7 years ago.
And we should reflect, that all this history |
• is more or less connected with all that wc re
gard as important and sacred in the destiny of
our people and our race.
It throws light upon our origin. It eluci
dates manners, and models, and principles
with which we all familiarly meet. It illus
trates the religion of our country. It devel- \
opes chapters in the history of the human
niind which must be read pleasantly and pro- ;
fttably by every thinking person.
As an inferior consideration, the eye and the
taste are gratified by the paintings or colored
engravings of oriental scenery, and landscapes
and pyramids, and ruins, and figures, and per
sons, and animals, and costumes, ; and habits,
vhich cover the walls of the Masonic Hall in j
rSuch ample dimensions and rich profusion.
It is to be hoped that cur citizens will ap- !
predate this rich treat for soul and sense,
and that our intelligent appreciation will en
courage Mr. G. to give us more than two lec
tures. Unless we encourage him by a numer
ous attendance he cannot afford it.
We ought to have his lectures on the pyra
mids, and on mummies, neither of which sub
i jects he will have time to touch, unless he gives
ius more than two lectures. Let us go in suf
ficient numbers to encourage his stay at least
j long enough to hear from him on these deeply
interesting subjects. An Old Citizen.

OBITUARY.
Died, after a lingerin r illness of four months, at
the residence of her father in I)e Kalb county, on
the Pith inst., Miss Nancy L. Bhonner; aged 16 1
years. She was taken from her home and friends |
in the bloom of life. The decree was made, the
cruel Messenger sent forth, and Death, the great i
leveller of ail mankind, came and snatched the I
young .anxLbe tutiful away from earth and things ;
I of time. -She bore the thought with that Christian
| fortitude which warrants the conclusion that though
| dead, she yet lives where the harps of Angels are
full strung, and the smiles of a S’ viour welcomes
the spirit that now mingles with earthly things no
more forever. Joy to that spirit now in distant
worlds, and sanctification to those of her friends
| and relatives le 't behind! S.
