The appropriation bill la still under e-

considered, amended, reject dor parsed, but when
j 100 appropna.ion biL recurs there is so much noise
on the fi jor t .at it is a. moat impObsioks to hear the
aeoiiie of the amendments in the gallery.
Amendments were pa.iaed lo increase the rsalary
of Surveyor General of N=w ilexico to
end uppr^prialiens fox his office $18,500, to equal
, 123 the p&y of accountants in tne laud ofiic*;to

men cinployed in the two Houses of Congress.
A bi.l passed establishing certain post-roads; to
* fix the salary of the Circuit Judirc in California at
14,500.
Amendments were oifered by Mr. Seward aa fol

large cities us foilows: New York sssv,6uu; ttnia
doiphia $475,000; and Boston $4oo,OOu; to be cx
pended under the direction of tne Bostmaster
liutACfUi.
TfaL» amondtnaui was defeated.
Mr. hieids, from the committee of conference
on the disagreement of tue two Houses on the a: my
appropriation bill, made a* report in iavor of a
hourd o: army oommlssioners, to examine and set
t c Califoriita, and gi/jug authority lo tne
President W *ppoutt cliicers o?iow tne grade ol
tipid oDlcera. us though the appointmems occurred
dur.ng a vacation.
The report of the committee of conference was
agreed ta»
The Senate resumed the coniideiation of the
civil and diploaiulieappropriation bill, and a large
number of umendmeuts were agreed to. The bill
was rend a third lime aud passed, with a very large
number of amendments.
The naval appropriation bill was then taken up,
and utte: the adoption of soveral amendments it
wts passed. The moat important of these was one
submitted by Mr. be ward, being the mail steamer
appropriation bill, with the provision attached to
the appropriation for the Collins line stricken out.
This has the effect of continuing in force the pro
viso by which the contract could be terminated in
six mouths’ notice.
Several private bills were passed; after which
the Senate went into executive session. At four
o’clock the doors were re opened, and the Senate
took a recess until seven o’clock, P. M.
EVENING SESSION.
The Senate met at seven o’clock. The chair laid
befo e the body a message from the President of
the United States, transmitting u statement ol the
number of muskets, rifles, and other arms and
equipments delivered to the State arsenuls respect
ively.
A large number of private bills were taken up
aud passed. The bill to continue the pension of
Frances E Baden being under consideration, Mr.
Pearce moved to amend it by adding thereto the
House bill disapproving the act of the legislative
assembly of the territory of Minnesota ontitled
“an act to incorporate the Transit Kailroad Com
pany.” The president pro tern, ruled the amend
ment out of order, as not being germau to the
subject. Mr. Pearce appealed from the decision
of me chair. A long debate ensued, in which
Messrs. Stuart, Mason, Badger and others partici
pated.
At ton o’clock the Senate wont into executive
session, and the doors remained closo ‘until quar
ter before twelve. The Scuato then resumed the
consideration of tho bill previously under discus
sion; and Mr. Pearca having withdrawn the amend
ment, tho bill was passed.
The for ifleation bill came back from the House;
the Senate recoded Irom its amendments, and iho
bill passed.
Tho civil and diplomatic bill was ordored to bo
engrocsod.
Mr. Douglas, from the committee on territories,
reported a bill authorizing the people of Orogon
to form a Stato constitution and apply for admis
sion at the next session of Congress.
Mr. Badger objected for want of time.
Mr. Douglas urged its passage. Good faith
and public interest required the admission of Ore
gon.
Mr. Brown opposed the bill and moved to lay
it on tho table. Lost-nays 80, yeas 18.
Mr. Brown said it was not known whether Ore
gon had the requisite population.
Mr. Douglas said she had 75,000 and would soon
have 100,000.
Mr. Wilson thought it would bo bettor to leavo
the matter open another year.
Mr So ward suggested that a new State may como
in by invitation like that which is given by the
bill. That was the old way in which all in tho
States woro admitted before Michigan, und was
considered by some the ouly right way, California
was not iLvited, and like Michigan, came in with
a State constitution. This irregularity constituted
tho great difficulty in the way of admitting Califor
nia. Oregon would apply next winter, if not ad
mitted now. if the invitation be not given now
objection will be made on the ground of irregulari
ty when she does come.
Mr Dwugias said ho had intended to press the
bill as long as tho opposition came merely from the
South, but since the opposition comes (turning to
Mr. Wilson) from tho extreme North, us well as
(turning to Mr. Brown) from tho exiremo South,
it is manifest that wo ain’t pass tho bill, and he
abandoned the effort. He then moved to lay it on
the table, which was agreed to—yeas 27, nays 11.
This bill, which was thus laid on tho tublo, was
attached to a bill for tho payment of private pen
sion as an amendment.
The civil and diplomatic bill came in from the
House with 143 uni udmeuts. Tho Idenato agreed
lo 104 oi them, and tho House recoded from the
rest. The bill was then finally passed.
After an executive session and the signing of
bills by the respective Houses, the Senate adjourn
ed sine die at 11 o’clock 55 minutes.
* HOUSE.
ThflSonaie bill,
removal of obstructions in the Savannah river, was
passed.
During the disenssion of tho report of the com
mittee ot conference on tho disuftieeing votes of
both Houses on ihe army appropriation bill, Mr.
Faulkner alluded to the subject of claims for dam
ages in California during tho Mexican war.
'Mr. Beutou understood him to say something
detrimental to Col. Fremont —rising indignantly
and repelling with extreme warmth the assertion,
ho said: “Did you say Fremont did it, sir f
“Did you sav Fremont did it? ,> (Cries ot order.)
The Speaker rapped with his hammer and in
formed the gentleman he was out of order.
Mr- Benton—l know lam sir, but I want to
vindicate truth and justice, sir. [Cries of “ordor,”
and much contusion, the Speaker continuing his
r “U, f'a'ulkuer, elevating iiis voico. Tho gentle
man is not more inclined to do this than I am.
There was no occasion tor his excitement. 1 was
not making the slightest allusion to Col. Fremont
or to the injury and destruction of property by
him—l was speaking of a private claim, and al
luded to the testimony of Com. Stockton.
Mr. Benton again rcse, and gesticulating vio
lently, laboring under severe hoarseness—what he
said was lost a cries of “order.”
The Speaker again reminded Mr. Benton that
he was cut of order. .
Mr. Benton.—l beg pardon, but my indignation
is groat, sir. .
Mr. Faulkner. —Thore is uo cause for mdgna-
Mr. Bonton resumed his Beat, and was soon
composed. ...
Tho report of tho confercnoo oommittee was
then rejeoted. _ . ,
Ou motion, the Senate was asked for another
committee of conference.
A message was received from the President in
forming tho House that he had signed certain bills,
and returning the ocoan mail steamer bill with his
objections. I Sensation.]
The Speaker asked if it was the pleasure of the
House that the message should bo read. [Several
objections and impatient cries of “ read,” “ read.”]
The Clerk then read tho following message :
To t\6 Home of Kepreseniativis ;—l return here
• ith to the House of Representatives, in which it
originated, the bill entitled 41 an act making appro
priations for the transportation of tho United
States mail, by ocean steamers and otherwise,
during the years ending the thirtieth of Juno, one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-five, and the
thirtieth of Jun?, one thousand eight hundred and
aity-six, ’ with a brief statement of the rea&ous
which prevent its receiving my approval.
Tho bill provides, among otter things, that “ the
following sums bo, and the same are hereby, ap
propriated, to be paid out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated, lor the year
ending the thirtieth of June, one thousand eight
hundred and fifty six: _
*• For transpoi tation of the mails from r* ew x or*
to Liverpool and tack, eight hundred and titty
eight thousand dollars; and that tho proviso con
tained in tho first section of tho act entitled ‘An
act to Bupp y deficiencies in tho appropriations tor
the service of the meal year ending the thirtieth of
Jane, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two,
approved the twenty first of July, one thousand
eight hundred and nlty-t o, be, and the asms is
htrobv, repealed: Provided, That Edward k. Cel
tins and his associates shah proceed, with all doe
diligence, to build another steamship, in accord,
ance with tho terms of their contract, and have the
same ready for the nuil eervioe in two years from
aad after the passage ot this act. And ii the said
fteaxn."h p is not ready wit in the time above men
tioned, by reason of any neglect or want ct uili
gence on their part, then the said ho ward iv. y el
fins and his associates shall carry the United
States mails between New York and Liverpool
from the exp:ration of the said two years, every
fortnight, free of any charge to the government,
until the new shall have commenced
the said mail service.”
The original contract was predicated upon the
proposition cf E. K. Collins, of March 6, 1546,
made with abundant means of knowledge as to
the advantages and disadvantages of the terms
which he then submitted for the acceptance of the
government. The proposition was in the follow
ing terms;
E. K. Collins and Lis associates propose to ecr
ry the United States mail between New York and
Liverpool twice each month during eight months
of the year, and once a month during the other
tour mouths, lor the sum of three hundred and
eight} five thousand dollars ($o$5,000) pv annum,
payable quarterly. For this purpose they will
agree to build five s'•unships, ot not less than
twothematid tons measurement, ani cf oco thou
sand horse-power each, which vessels shall be
built for great speed, and sufficiently strong for
four cf 6aid vessels to be ready for service in
eighteen monthsftom the signing of the contract.
Tte fiith vessel to be built as early as possibly
practicable, and. when not emplojed in the mail
service, to be subject to the orders of the govern
ment for carrying despatches, for which service a
fair compensation is to be Contract to be
for the term of ten years It is alio proposed to
secure to the United States the privilege oi pur
chasing said steamships whenever they may be
required for public purposes, at a fair valuation,
to »e ascertained by appraisers appointed by the
United States and by the owners.
Edward K. Collins.
“ Washington, March 6,1546.”
The act of March 6d, 1347, provides : That from
and immediately after the passage or this aot, it
shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Navy to
accept, on the part of the governmert of the Lni
i led btales, the propoeals of E. K. Collins and h;s
associates, of the city of New \ork, submitted to
I the Foatmaster General, and dated at W ashirg

for the transportation of the United States mad
) between New YUrk and Liverpool, and to contract
i with the said E. K. Collins &nd his associates for
' the faithful fuJumcut of the stipulations therein
AUGUSTA, GA. WEDNESDAY. MARCH 11, 1855.
1U ccc - r 4-uce with the pfovk crus
of this act; and this prep lion and enact
ffient the original contract wa.- made.
« According to the terms of that contract, the par
| Uos were to receive from the United States, for
: twenty round trips each year, tLe earn ol nineteen
thousand two hundred and fifty dollars the lr p,«. r
three hundred and eighty-five tbousaLd dcliaiß
per annum ; and they were to construct and pro
vide five ships, of a stipulated sixa and qua ity,
•cr the perform&nca of this or other service for the
government.
Os the ship 3 contracted for, only four h*ve been
furnished, the*Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Baltic,
and the present bill propo.-es to dispense entirely
with the original conaiuon of a fifth ship, by only
r quiring the construction ox one, which would
Out supply the plice of the Arctic, recently lost by
peril or the sea. Certain miner conditions, invol
ving expense to the contractus, among which was
one 2o* the accommodation and subsistence of a
certain number of parsed midship. i<eu on
ves-*!, had previously been dispensed with on the
P a rt of the United states.
By act of Congress of July 21,1852, theamount
of compensation to Ike col tractors was incr-wod
from nineteen thoueand two hundred and fiuy » ol
larft to thirty-tiiiee thousand dobars a trip, and ih*j
number of trips from twenty to twenty six each
year—making the whole compensation eight hun
dred and fifty eight thousand dollars per annum.
During tho period of time from the commencement
of the service of these contractors, on the 27th of
April, 1850, to the end of tho lasi li-cal year, June
8-J, 1854, the sum paid to them by tho U. States
amounted to two million six hundred and twenty
thousand nine hundred and six dollars, without
reckoning public money advanced on loan to aid
them in tne.cinstruction of tho ships: while the
whole amount of postages derived to the dopart
meat his been only seven hundred u .d thirty-four
thousand and fiity , ix dollars ; showing an oxces.'
of expenditure.* above receipts of one million cig- 1
hundred and eighty six thousand four hundred
and forty dollars to the charge of the government.
In the mean time, iu addition to tho payments
from the treaiury, the } artur ha e been in tho en
j >ymet;L of largo receipt* lrom tho transportation
of passenger.-s unjd merchandise, tho profits of
which are in addition to tne amount allowed by
the United States.
It «Lc<gt uoc appear that the liberal «. WHSTtfdfis
heretofore enjoyed by tha parties were less than a
proper compensation for the service to bo perform
ed, including whatever there may have been of
hazard in a now undertaking; nor that an 7 hard
ship can be justly alleged calling for relief on the
part of the government.
On the other hand, tho construction of five ships
of groat speeds, and sufficiently strong for war
purposes, and tho services of passed midshipmen
on board of them, so as thus to augmont the con
tingent force and tho actual efficiency of the navy,
were among the inducements of the government
to enter intj the contract.
The act of July 21, 1852, provides “that it shall
be in the power of O-ngruts, at auy time afier the
81st day of December, 1554, to terminate the ar
rangement for the additional allowance herein,
provided for upon giving six months’notice,” und
it will be seen that, with the exception of the six
additional trips required by the act of July 21,
1852, there has been no departure from the ori
ginal engagement bat t relievo the contractors
from obligation ; and yet, by tho act last named,
the compensation was increased from three hun
dred aud eighty-five thousand to eight hundred
and filly eight thousand dollars, with no other
protection to the public interests provided than the
right which Congress reserved to itself to termi
nate Iho contract, so far as this increased compen
sation was concerned, after six months’ notice.
This lost provision, certainly a primary considera
tion for tho more generous action of the govern
ment, tho present bill proposes to repeal, so as to
leave Congress no power to terminate the now ar
rangement.
To this repeal, the objections are, in my mind,
insuperable, because, in terms, it deprives the U.
States of all future discretion as to tho increased
service and compensation, whatever changes may
occur in tho art of navigation, its expense;*, or the
policy and political condition of the country.—
Tho gravity of this objection is enhanced by other
considerations. While the contractors arc to bo
paid a compensation nearly double tho rato of the
original contract, they are exempted from several
of its conditions, which has the efieot of adding
still more to that rate; while the further advant
age is conceded to them of placing their new priv
iieges bayond the control even of Congress.
It will be regarded as* n less scrions objection
than that already stated, but one which should not
bo overlooked, that the privileges bsstowed upon
the contractors are without correspondent advan
tages to tho government, which receives no suffi
cient pecuniary, or other, return for the immense
outlay involve 1 ; which could obtain tho Bame ser
vice of other pa ties at less cost; and which, if
the bill becomes a law, will pay them a largo
amount of public money; without adequatejeonsi
deration—that is, will in effect confer a gratuity
whilst nominally making provision for tho trans
portation of the mai'S of the United States.
To provide for making a donation of such mag
nitude, and to givo to the arrangement tho charac
ter of permanence which this bill proposes, would
be to deprive commercial enterprise of tho benefits
of free competition, and to establish a monopoly,
in violation of the soundest principles of pub’io
policy, and of doubtful compatibility with tho con
stitution.
I am, of coareo, not unmindful of the fact that
tho hill comprises various other appro natrons
whi h are more or less important to tho public in
teroHts; for which reuHon my objections to it aro
communicated at the first meeting of tho House
following its presentation to mo, in tho hope that
by amendment to bills now ponding, or otherwise,
suitable provision for all the objects in qaostiou
may bo made before the adjournment of Congress.
Franklin Fierce.
Washington, March S, 1865.
Immediately after tho reading was completed.
Mr. Hunt rose, saying, veto follows veto in rapid
march. Much excitement and confusion. Crios
of “ order 77 and “ hoar him. 77 ]
Mr. Hunt, warmly.—l am in ordor. 1 should
feel unworthy of holding a place on this floor if I
did not givo utterance to the feelings' of my heart.
Veto follows veto in rapid march—tyranny over
the liberties of our country. This abominable
veto just brought into tho House is the vory height
of tyranny aud usurpation—unknown to our au
•estors and without precedent. I dcsiro gentle
men to remember who they are—representatives
of independent people—the parliament sent hither
to express thoir minds. Men, lor grave conscien
tious and patriotic purposes, aud not slaves, tho
mere medium for recording th will of an execu
tive, who seems boat entirely on doing away with
the legislation of the country.
Tiie times aro melancholy indeed when the
President dictates laws to the people without al
lowing members tho exercise of individual judg
meut. This is a power which has never been con
ferred by the constitution, and if permitted or
tolerated for an instant, will prove tho overthrow
of tho liberties of our country. When our fathers
put an end to monarchy they thought they estab
lished a free oouutry; but Franklin Pierce,
who is, by accident, President, can dictato to a
freo people what they shall do in the making of
laws. Some gentlemen ovor the way are smiling
complacently—no doubt if they would sound
their hearts they would feol rather overwhelmed
with grief and sorrow at a tyrant striking down
the will of the people.
Mr. Keitt moved the previous question.
Mid much excitement Mr. Campbell loudly and
excitedly proclaimed, “this is the day of revolu
tion 77 —tho remainder of the sentence was drowned
in cries of “order. 77
Mr. Wheeler moved tho Houbo adjourn.
Mr. Breckenridgo vainly strove for tho floor to
oxpre.-s hia unqualified approbation of the veto.
Gentlemen were standing in all parts of the hall
calling for the question on adjournment.
Mr. Ashe. It we adjourn now. when will wo
meet again f [Cries of “nevor, 77 “nt
The Sposker. It is not for the Chair to deter
mine.
Mr. Ashe. If wo adjourn .wo can’t meet to
morrow. [Cries of “order, 77 in startling tones.]
The House then relused to adjourn—yeas 8,
nays 180.
The Speaker stated the queation—“ shall the
Ocean Mail Steamer bill pass, the President’s ob
jections to the contrary notwithstanding?’ 7 De
cided in tho nagative. Yeas 18, nays 78—not
two-thirds in the affirmative as required by the
Constitution.
The Speaker laid before the Houee a vast pile of
manuscripts from the State Department, contain
ing letters of instructions to our toreigu ministers
relative to affairs in Earope which led to tho
Ostend conference.
Several ineffectual attempts wars made to con
sider the Senate harbor bills.
Mr. Houston remarked that the civil and diplo
matic appropriation bill has been returned from
the Senate with one hundred and thirty five
amendments. As it was too late to refer, he moved
that the House go into committee on them, which
was agreed to.
The House then took a rocoss till 7 o’clock.
EVENING SESSION.
Tbe House ro-assembied at 7 o’clock and went
into committee on the civil and diplomatic appro
priation bill. An amendment appropriating $250,-
000 for continuing the Washington aqueduc hav
ing been concnrred in by S majority, the galleries
as vieil as members g.-.ve vent to delight by clap
ping cl hands. Great contusion ensued, and a
proposition was made to clear the galleries.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, hoped the motion
would be withdrawn. The galleries are in better
order than the house. [Laughter and crias, “that’s
right,” “good.”]
The chairman gave notice that he sbonld use his
utmost power to enforce order either in the House
or galleries.
The amendment increasing the salary of the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United
States to 7,500, and that of his associates to $7,000,
was so amended as to fix the salary of the former
at $6,500 and that es the latter at $6,000.
Mr. Dawson, from the committee on conference
on the disagreeing votes of the two hoiscs cm
amendments to the postcffice bill, made a favor
able report, which was agreed to.
Mr. Phelps, from the committee of conference
on the disagreeing votes of the two houses on
amendments o the army bill, made a report that
the House recede from its disagreement to the
amendment of the Senate appropriating SBO,OOO
for the purchase and importation of camels and
dromedaries to be used for military pnrpose3;
which report wss agreed to.
Ih-intg'rA. —There being fifty amendments yet to
set on, ail debate on them was ent.rely suspended.
The House concurred en matte in nearly all the
amendments reported from the committee, reserv
ing several for separate votes. Also, passed the
Senate’s amendment appropriating $250,000 for
continuing the Washington aqueduct, and con
curred in striking out the tarnlf amendment.—
Latter S 6 against 80.
Mr. Chandler offered a resolution that the (hanks
of the House are eminently due and are hereby
presented to the Hon. Linn Boyd, for the ableand
impartial, and dignified manner in which he has
discharged the duties of Speaker daring the pres
ent Congress. Mr. Chandler said it has been his
lortone to serve with Mr. Boyd six successive ses
sions, and he bore testimony to that gentleman’s
personal merits and efficiency as a Speaker.
Mr. Hum, from self lespect and sense of public
duty, would be compelled to vote against the res
olution.
Mr. Walley said Mr. Boyd may have erred, but
it had been his fortune to discharge the duties of
the Chair in as fair, able, and impartial a manner
as rarely falls to the lot of any man.
Mr. Ceskie remarked that at the close of last
Congress he voted against a vote of thanks to Mr.
Boyd, but he was now constrained to say he h -d
changed his mind, and wonld cheerfully vote for
the resolution.
Mr. iiarr eeme here with strong prejudices
against Mr. Boyd, differing from him in politics,
but those prejudices had yielded to sentiments of
profound respect. He b .re testimony to his purity
cf motives and firmness of character.
Mr. Walbridge briefly paid his voluntary tribute.
The resolution was almost unanimously adopted.
It was then resolved that all bills on the private
calendar at tbe close of the session ha referred to
tne coart of claims.
The House concurred in the Senate’s amend
ments to the Mil rcqmrirgapre- payment of postage
in all cases, and the pre-payment inpostage stamps
after next January.
Mr. Wentworth, of Massachusetts, from the
committee on commerce, reported a bill prevent

Mtasus. Editors : 'With a view to determine tho
precise depth and condition of the channel of the
river over the “Wrecks, 77 and along tho Southern
edge of “Garden Bank, 77 1 have caused an accurate
survey of these points to be made, and as the re
sults of tho examination may be of some interest
to you and your readers, I will here state them.
1. The channel over the Wreck* has the same,
or about tho same, positions, as when tho works of
improvement were commenced; but it has an in
crease of depth equal ’o two feet ovor what, existed
when tho chart of tho Coast Survey Office was
made:—that is to say, in 1850 and 1861. The width
of this deeper channel is not as great as it should
be for the convenience and certain passage of ves
sels that come within the proper limit of druft.
At the narrowest part of this channel it is but little
more than 150 feet:—wide enough, if winds and
tides were always favorable, but as this is not the
cane, at loast 100 feet more should be added to the
width.
Tho depth of channel over the Wrecks, in 1851,
at mean high water, was fourteen Jett six inches , it
i* now full sixteen feet .-fix inches. Springtides
add nearly a foot to tho moan high water level of
the river; hence, with the higher tides, voxels
drawing ovor seventeen feet can bo taken over the
Wrecks..
2. The channel along the Southern edge of
“Garden Bank” remains in the same position as
when the works were commenced, and has a
depth nearly equal to that over the Wrecks.
About severity tiye feet in width, were dredged
from tho edge of the Bank, to give greater width
of channel along in front of the Eastern wharves :
but, it is still too narrow, especially if two and
sometimes three vessels be permitted, as heretofore,
to luy abreast, of tho wharves.
At a point about 650 feet below the Eastern cor
noroftho wharf of Mosers. Austin & Huberts,
Mills, the mean high water channel of sixteen
and a half feot depth, is made quite narrow by
the projection of a shoal point jutting out from
the general line of Garden Bank. This project
ing shoal baa no groat extent, and can bo easily
removed by dredging. Steam vessels can avoid
it by their ability to keep directly in tho deep,
but narrow channel. South of it, but sail vessels,
with contrary winds, aro liable to touch at this
point.
As Congress has finally granted the appropria
tion’s so long and earnestly urged, meaua are
now provided for making further and greater
improvements, and I have now full confidence
that all that has been and will be gained in depth
and width of channel can be made permanent.
Gentlemen, I am with much respect,
Your obedient servant,
J. F. Gilmer. Cap . of Enginere.

Tho Lake Superior Mining News give 3 the fol
lowing account cf the Monster Mine, the Minosota:
“The greatests depth attained at this mine is 880
feet. The main shaft or pistou that works the
pumps is here about three hundred feet long.
The lowest depth attained at the south vein is
one hundred and 6ix!y-six feet. Silver is inter
spersed in all the copper of this mine, and in
some ethers on the range. When any fine spe
cimens of silver do make their appearance in
rti/s, cr in any other connection, they are gener
ally secured by the miners. The amount of copper
shipped from this mine during the season of
navigation was 1,648,407 pounds net weight, being
over 771 tons, worth over three hundred thou
sand dollars. The prod et for the month oi
December is over seventy-seven tons. Three
hundred and ninety men are required to carry
on this vast operation. It requires a supply ol
over twenty thousand pounds of candles lor this
mine during six months. There are about forty
buildings clustered arouudthis mine, and. making
a respectable village; forth 3. have their Cath
olic cud Protestant Churches, their school house. ,
store, wharefcouse, and doctor a office. It is one
of the mines that gives character to this country
for upon its success depends the confidence of
all stockholders in copper mines; and it will
maintain that place until some others shall show
an equal success, and share that responsibility
with the Min sota and Cliff mines.
The Calhobsia Condob.— The high mountains
of California are frequented by a species of con
dor, whieh, althougn somewhat interior in size
to the condor of the Andes, is probably the lar
gest bird to be found within the confines of the
Bolden Sta’e. A fn'l grown California condor
measures upward ot thirteen feet from tip to tip
of its wings, and wbea in its favorite e.ement, the
air, ia as gra eiul and majestic as any bird in the
world. Tney make their hemes upon the ledges
of lofty rocks, or in the old deserted nests of
hawks and eagles, npon the upper branches cf
lofty trees. Their eggs are each about twelve
ounces in weight, and are said to be exo.-tlent eat
ing. The bsirel-i ot tbe wing feathers of the con
dor are about four inches long and three-eights cf
an inch in d.ameter. and are used by the inhabi
tants «f Norther* Mexico to keep gold du3t in.
Setting Fuse.— This moraine about 1 o’clock, a

plements of d sirnciion in his hand, so that his
object could not be mistaken. He was of coarse
arrested and placed in duranc-. This morning he
was examined before th® Mayor and turned over
for further tr a.. Had he succeeded in his attempt,
with the high wind which prevailed all iaa* night,
the ooeffagiation would have been disastrous,—

entered for the wedding states, about tho period
that the young Clanricardo waj starring in his na
tive county, was a singularly beautiful, but, us
since shown, equally viciousyada Miss Catherine
Kelly, known from her extreme aversion to water,
under tho rather cisagreeublo designation ol “Dir
ty Kitty Kelly. 77 This dirty Kitty at once attruet
ed the admiring gaze of young Clanricarde, who
being, from his rauk and and position, unvvihing
to wed her himself, joined in an intrigue to palm
her off upon a good uatured and very wol! looking
noodle, a Mr. Handcoek, who had roeantlv come
into possession of very largo estates, and had at
tached himself to tho fashiouable train of Ci .nri
cardo. Having thus ploasantiy disposed of mat
tors among his county friends, the young lord, like
all his followers, repaired to iho great center ot
pleasure—London. Here, though singularly un
prepossessing presence, the far more formidable
weapons of a soft tongue and generous dash ot
bearing, won for him the affections of the dai-gh
ter of Ihe celebrated George Cunning, then in ore
full flush ol a poetical triumph, to whom ho was
wedded, aud was bhortly after raised, though his
now connection, to u British Peerage, as Huron
Somerhill, and to a marquisate in the Peerage of
Ireland.
Tho writor hero eutors into the history of a
gambling, or ruthor a swindling transaction, which
becoming kuowu to tho public, made it necessary
for Lord Clanricardo to go into ret rement. When
sufficiently forgotten, hia Lordship was sent as
Minister to Russia.
After serving lor some time iu Russia, ho re
turned and took an active and audacious, rather
than able, part iu the attacks on tho government
ot (Sir Robert Peel. These services to the Whigs,
aud his parliamentary interest, which commands
ono seat in the County of Galway, now held by
his cousin, Sir Thomas Burke, and generally one
also iu the town, though on tho last occasion his
son was defeated, marked him for the favor of that
party on the fall ts the Pool Cabinet iu ’46. O’Con
nell insisting on having one Irishman in the Cabi
net, Clanricardo wus selected as the most prosenta
blo Irish Poor, aud admitted to ihe Supreme Coun
cil of tho nation, with tho office ot Po.-tmas er
General. His viowßintho Cabinet were not, we
beliove, murkod by any special profundity or
wisdom, and ho chiefly distinguished liis official
roigu by extending, with commendable kindness,
a munificent patronage to many a poor Galwegian.
Ho was not, however, on tho formation of the
Aberdeen Government, restored to his old posi
tion, or admitted iuto the cluster of All tho Talents.
“Hinc i!l» lachry a Hence these lute bitter end
incessant barkings at Aberdeen. He has recently
formed one ot tho smali baudot persouul follow

doubt not that he would have boon included in
the new arrangements wore it not for tho s aril ing
disclosure of such scenes of heart-rending infamy
as those iu which the proceedings iu the case of
Handcoek and Do Burgh represent him as placing
a leading part.
At mo period of young Clanricardo’s starting
for London, ho loft tho poor Miss Kitty Kelly
transmuted iuto the wealthy Mrs. Handcoek. Very
shortly alter marriage, some troubled specks ap
pearod in the connubial sky, which even provoked
he good, easy Ilandcock, who asked nothing
more than his hounds, and peace ol mind, and
mutton, aud his evening draught of Snoyu s old
Irish claret. His hounds were poisoned. His
purse was rest. His menials were bribed, Hia
house stripped of every comfort. When Lord
Normanby, as Lord Lieutenant, in u passage
through the country, was induced, through Lord
Clanricarde, to accept the hospitalities of Caran
trilla, the family residence, he has olten laugh
ingly told that warm water was introduced in tho
morning in a horse bucket, end when some faint
remonstrances wore hinted, a soup plate obtained
In its place.
Mathus, however, stoutly maintains that dirt
and low diet are favorable to increase ot popu
lation ; and in tho first four years of marriage
three daughters wore born to tbo House of Hand
cock, perhaps as gentle and beautiful girls as over
adorned a gentlenomo. From that lime, 1628, to
tho year 1840, Mrs. Ilandcock bore no child. Du
ring tho winter of that year, Lord Clanricardo,
returning from tho Court of Nicholas, gathered
hi* own gay little court at the old family seat wo
have desciibed at Fortumna. Among the fair
guests was his early love, Mrs. Handcoek.
“On reVient toujoaro,
A sea premiers amours.”
Sweet memories, no doubt, stole over their sen
ses, [and somo tender passages came up, which were
more agreoablo to the lovers than tho lady’s lord.
Stung by what ho conceived biß dishonor, a sepa
ration took place. Handcoek repaired to London
and to Paris, and endeavored loseek intho haunts
of pleasure and an abandonment to vice, forgctful
nesß of the life whieh the infutny of hia wite had
stamped with wretchedness. But his steps were
dogged by hounds laid on the sent by Olauricardo
and his wife, and the very menials round hie per
son were in the pursuers' pay. Tho hour of death
was seized to introduce tho privute physician off
Clanricardo, Dr. Paris, and through his influence,
aided by an unconscious instrument, his own child,
a will was extorted, loaving all the propeity to
Lord Ciauricarde, in trust for his three daughters,
the Lord being the guardian of the property—the
lady of those to whom it was bequeathed, tho one
being at the same time a Cabinet Minister of Eng
land, the other a wife and mother.
Up to this hour it was believed that Mrs. Hand
cock had but theee three children ; and toCiauri
cardoouly was it known that, long after hersepa
ration another child, when and where born the
world has not yet been told, appeared upon tho
scone. Ho was a son, called by the Clanricardo
family the name of Da Burgh ; and in lavor of
this offspring of illicit love, this fiendish mother
conceived the plot of mak.ng away with her own
and her husband’s obildren—children, too, whoso
gentleness and beauty would hive awakened pi'.y
in the rudest heart. In this horrible design Lout
Clanricurde would appear to have boen at least a
silent accessory. Lord Claorieardc, as guardian
and trustee, immediately allowed this ber-a.-d
widow fifteen hundred pounds a year, the house
and demesnes, and repeated sums to keep them
in repair, all of which were perverted, with his
knowledge, from their supposed purpose, and
hoarded for the benefit of his supposed child.
She repeatedly swore, while heaping up these piles,
that she was penniless, to clutch at more ; and in
all these horrible designs she was aided by a Min
ter of England. No thought ot pity cheeked their
hands. One by one her gentle daughters fall be
fore their destroyers, vio'ims toan inhuman pro
cess of persecution and starvation, the details of
which make the blood run cold. It has even been
Baid that they were placed under tho influence ol
a slow poison, and her occasional decorations
that Bhe had iu France acquired an art of poison
ing by slow degrees, which baffl-d all detection,
and tho scene at her own horrid death bed, iu
which she refused to taste a particle of nourish
ment, or even let a drop of water rest on her
parched lip, whicn did not come from tho baud of
a Sister of Charity, give strength to tois imp-ree
sion. Those who read tbe morbid pictures oi hu
man depravity presented by Eugene Sue, deem
them but the exaggerations of diseased imagina
tion. Bat in Franoe there is no medium ; womei:
are either holy and beautiful, and good as the
dream of the poet can make them, or else eteeped
in a highly wrought luxury of depravity which
surpasses all that even the ruin of Pompeii tells.
It is known that Lord Pembroke, the brother of
Sidney Herbert, was placed by a French mistress,
in whose favor be had made a will, under the in
fluence of slow poison, which it f-r a long time
beffiid the skill of science to detect, and from the
effects of whieh ha has not yet recovered.
Under the influence of this slow poison, or per
secution, as may be, in 1342 and 1850, the two eld
est daughters died, and on their death beds were
compelled to make wills bequeathing their interest
to their mother— the laet "f .hese wide being in the
fiandurriting of the Lend Ganricards. Before,
however, she could carry to a triumphant close the
purpose for which these murders were enacted,
the hands of the destroyer clutched herself. In a
mi erable garret, in some by-street of the Irish
capital, she suddenly lay down, and the flesh
rot ed gradual,y from her bones. To her last
gasp, the one strong thought wao uppermost. A
will was found, beqne .thing to her son—first styled
be. Burgh, and then erased and changed to Dcla
cour—£2l,ooo sterling, or sloo,ooo. which she
had saved, and the interest bequeathed by her
daughters in the estates. The last child, Honoris,
did not survive her unnatural mother many
months. The Beeda of poison had bean tooiataliy
sown. Dying intestate, the title-tothe estates was
disputed with young Deßurgh by the heir at-law
and brother ot the deceased Handcock ; and on
the trial, these horrid fsete, as we have told them,
came forth to fill with horror every gentle mind.
With a compromise in which young De Burgh
yields bis cla.m for certain considerations, tie
curtain has fallen on the revolting see e. We leave
the drama to point its own moral. It reminds us
ot aome of those scenes of depravity among the
Freneh noblesse which preceded and hastened the
revolution, Coming at this moment, i; will speak
trDmpet-tongued to England.

Darien Bank Case a*
Not having had time to be present at the argu

Bid win Superior Court, we are indebted to a
friend for the following points argued before his
Honor, J idge Hardeman.
Counsel for the State.— Hon. Richard H, Clark.
C.unsel who argued for Claimants. —James Gard

Points made and argued by Mr. Clark.
Tho creditors ask that the State pay, in her un
paid subscription of $175,000 for the benefit of all
classes of creditors.
The renewed charter whioh went into operation
iu 1887, and uuder which the rights of all credi
tors oocr.ied, provides that the Stale shall pay no
additional instalment, aud that the Directors shall
be prohibited to call for the aarne.
The right to claim unpaid subscription is a pro
seeding in Equity, predicated upon the pow r of
the Directors to levy an instalment, and that they
u&vofailed or refused to make the call.
It follows theu, that if, by the Charter, the Di
rc-ciora had no power to levy an instalment, a Court
oi Hquity has no power.

Tub rigSt o this account os against the Central

By that act, the asserts are diieetcd to bo used

By tho testimony, it appeals that the nettassotts
realized have not paid the bill holders, who are ,
entiled to preference, by several thousand dollars,
so that thero is nothing to pay any other class ot •

render such direction inoperative, then all clusses
cf creditors are entitled to be paid out of the cor
poration assets, pari passu, by comparing the fund
with the claim.-, upon it, aud it will pay each uot
exceeding 5J cents por hundred upon their priuci
pal debt.
{Such aro entitlod to no interest, because their
claims are necessarily unliquidated, aud, for the
time, is developed the amount of the fund and
the amount ot the claims.
Tho Trustee must bo allowed the time necesssry
to conclude such a trust, aud the testimony shows
that from its nature it took the time employed.
The creditors who aie bill holders, ask that their
bills may bo paid in full, with interest, by tho State,
as a stockholder, uudor the private liability clause.
It is conceded that the State is bouud for 50 cents
on tho 100 on all unredeemed bills, but for no mow.
By reference to the Charter, it will be found that
by tint Charter a contract is ontered in o ry the
State on one hand, aud individuals on the other,
that she will put in half the stock and thoy tho
other half, and that she will be liablo to bill hold
ers in the proportion that her whole stands to their
whole stock.
It is different from the Chartor of the “ Planters
and Mechanics’ Bank 77 in this, that by that Char
ter no such limitation or contraot is made a part of
tbo Charter. No person by name is made a sub
scriber for stock with tho extent of his slock lia
bility, fixed, limited und restricted, while, by the
Bb:.k of Darien, this is deno for the State ol Geor
gia.
As to interest, it is a general rule that tho State
pays no interest, and l know of no rule why these
creditors should bo excepted from its operation.
They contracted with the Stato as a sovereign
State, and these rules, inseparable from her sover
eignty, must obtain, and there is no element of her
character better fixed, than her rules, method,
moans aud capacity for paying her as these
are part of the Constitution. She can pay nothing
unless by appropriation, and that mast originate
in the House ot Representatives, be also enacted
by the Senato, and must receive the signature of
the Governor.
Our Supreme Court has determined that interest
against a stockholder commences only from the de
viand. In what way, and at what place will the
Court consider a demand on the Slate ?
Points made and argued by Mr. Ward .
Ist. Tne State is liablo as a Stockho'der to the
full amount of her subscription to the bill holders.
2d. Tho State is liable for unpaid instalments, iu
the amount of $175,000.
Bd. The State is liablo for tho Assets received
by the Central Bank in 1841.
Ist. The liability of the State to thofu.l amount,
of her subscription, can scarcely bo denied; but
interest is denied under the decision of 10 Geor
gia, 171.
Thai case is founded upon the principle that tho
stockholder did not know who were the bill hold
era.
In this case the stockholder assumed contiol of
iho Atses, and therefore is presumed to
kuowu who were the oreditorß ot tho Bank, enpa
oially whero suits wore either pending or judg
ments had been obtained.
3d. Tho Stato is liablo to pay up her unpaid in
stalment of $175,000, while tho general principle
is admitted, it is said that the act of 1804 exempts
the State from her liabilities. By the to*ms of the
origiuai Charter, tho State reserved to herself tho
right to control the institution. This act of IEB4
simply directs the Direction not to bank upon any
largor amount of capitol. The capital is not re
duced because tho Stato and other stockholders
could, at any time, have paid up their subscrip
tion ; aud the amount subscribed is the amount of
capital; and the capital is a trust fund for the
payment of debts. Any other construction of this
act would make it unconsiilation 1 1:
Ist. Because it would violate the obligation of
contracts.
2i. Because the body of the act differs from tho
title of tho act.
31. The State is liable, under the proceedings,
under the act of 1841. The State had no right to
ropeal tho C lartor without a judicial proceeding.
But "'f the State had such right, the assotts have
been improperly appliod. The State has deprived
tho judgment creditors and other creditors from
enforcing their claims and diverted tho assetls to
relieving herself from her statutory liability as a
stockholder.

Indian Massacre on the Klarath— The Cali
fornia papers coniain full particulars ot tho Indian
massacre on the Klamath. It appears that a por
tion of the whites bad traded off some fire-arms
among the Indians, to which some of tho others
wore opposed, and afterwards endeavored to re
cover pcesossiou of them. A part of the Indians
' once gave up their arms, ana those who did not
comply with the demand were ordered to do so
! efire tbe expiration of four days, or rise the'r
camps would be set on fire. The specified time
having transpired, and as there were from forty to
fifty of the Indians who would not give up their
arms, the whites proceeded to carry their threats
into execution, when they were attacked by tho
Indians, who killed five and wounded two of their
oprnoents.

The LougCrtiUti if ibe >Ol them Cities,
o We have from time to lime takeu occasion to
f express our views in bohal. of tbo policy of a mod
-1 ifieation or curtailment of iho Byatem ol loug credit*
* wbioh prevails so extensively at the Boutn. The
importance of the subject, in our opinion, can
soaroely be overrated j whether viewed with refer
ence to the iatorest of the great masses of our
. peopie as buyers, or the commercial classes, whose
t prosperity may bo said to be no leas intimately m
t volved. In our issue of Thursday, we alluded in
i brief terms to the fac* that the merchants of New
x Orleans, as well as of New York, Boston and Phil
adoiphia, were agitating the subject of this evil,
with reference to adopting some plan for its cor
rection. Since then our attention has boon at
tracted to an article in the Now Orleans Commer
ciai Bulletin, some extra* la from which we desire
to present, not only as being coudrmatoiy of our
own previously expressed viows on the general
subject, but becausjot the strong light iu which
the evil and the necessity for iis correction ure
placed. We fully agieo with our New Or.oaus
eotemporary, that the movement alluded to, in
the Northern clues, though made ostensibly for
their own protection and interest, is calculated to
affoet most favorably the true aud pormauout in
terest of the South, iu promoting tbo desirable
ends of Southern c. muieroial independence aud
direct trale, —a consummation most devoutly to
bo wished, and the accomplishment of which has
beeu delayed us much perhaps by iho iuduoorneuL
he.d out by the Northern merchants iu the way
of l '**g credits as from any other office,— Col urn
bus Euquirtr.
The Bulletin says:
“ The long credit system is to tho purchaser
what the lighted caudle is to the moth, with this
exception—the moth gets scorched to death l u
the caudle burnsou uninjured—while long cicd t»

moro than they needed, arc unable to ijfettie waeh

consequently, oaunot tnko up tiientflea fiolias giv
ou the
tiiy illustrated a hundred or a ihout-aud fold, (uml,
it but oue <1 uu annual tnom-a ,cf t ) aud the
whole commercial world is, after a while, startled
by the news of too failure of a large jobbing bouse
supposed to be as solid as the rock of Gibralta,
ana which would have been but for the prevalence
of this pernicious long credit system.
‘•Lai us o*.rry out the parallel a little further:
The customers of iho couutry merchant fail to pay
him promptly ; 1.0 cuunot meot his engagement
with tho jobber iu consequence; tho jin ir,ow
iug to tho bud faith or m s orlums of nia corres
pondence, ia compelled to close—-to break. Ho
proceeds to eolioi t his claims as speedily aa pos i
ble. Ho eaos tho country ine»chuut; the coun ry
morchuut sues his delinquent doblois, and there
is a general litigation all around, to which must bj
added the usual amount of coat, fees, aud interosi,
to say nothing of me bad feelings, or ape k of the
lux morality Oi-gjudorod >y the proceedings. Tho
Jinale turns up usually iu this wise ; The principal
parties to the transaction are ruined in fortune
and credit; iho customers of the country trader
are hanassod by lawsuits, have to pay ecßta, law
yer’s fOwS, et?., bUperadded to the original cluim.s,
il solvent—all ot which would have beeu avo.ded
if the practice cf long credits had never knowu {
existence. There never was u liuor Buying than 1
that ‘short credits mtko prompt pay menus.'
“Thero are other oviia inseparably connected
with this system, throwing out of view aliogolbei
the objections ahudod to above. Wo will icfer
to ono ot thorn merely. The jobber who soils
on long time, is compelled, of c-»urso, lo nnko
freque.it renewals —und he must, therefore, oujo,
a largor ruto ot profit on tho goods he sells, to
provide ior future contingencies and losses, lor
thoro mill be losses, no mailer how cautiously
and ab'y an ex ou<iod business is Coudue’od ;
and tnero uro conungoucios against which no
human foresight can provide. Aatho small deal
er has to pay lor the prolonged credit uocorded
to him, ho must charge his cu. touiors in propor
tion, to make him sate, and tho cu is,
supposing a l obligations prompt y met at maturi
ty, that the onuses ol the people, tho retail buy
ers from the interior traders, tm o to pay higi or
pi ices lor tho goods they use than they would
had tho system of protiacted credit beeu repu
diated from the common com out.
“tor our pari wo are glad to see this movement,
and hope it will go on until it embraces every com
mercial city in tho North. As their long credits
wore tho prime cause of tukiug from us irmusauds *
ot good customers residing within tho Valley of
tho Mississippi, and a< j icout bta *s, so will tho (
withdrawal of that dangerously uttructivo facility
bring them back to us—at least many of them.
“The Mobile Tribune thinks ‘that the best thing
they (the Norther j o lios) cou d do tor the Bouth
would be to demand cash. Wo are bound to the t
North by cro lits. Destroy the:.e aud perhaps then
there would be tome chance for direct trade.* The \
remark is u suggestive one. But. wo mus. become
more eaergeiio aud public spirited before wo cun
hope tor direct communication with Europe. We
must infuse a new life into our body politic.” ,
A Calculating Machine.— Late foreign publica
tions make mention cl a “cu'culuiing in chine,”
just completed under the direction of Mr.Bcheutz,
ol Block holm. It ia reported to do a very wond r
ful and important instrument. Tho invent.r und
his bod have brought it to perfection utter twenty
years continuous labor. These men first conceived
tho idea of tne instrument Irom reading an article
on Mr. Babbage’s invention in the E-linburg Re
view. Tno “calculating machine” now excitiig
tho attention of the learned and the curious in
Europe, occupies rather more spaoo tbau a cabinet
piauoior e, aud can b> made tor aboui a thousand
dollars. Mr. Babbrgo spent more than SBO,OOO
upon his invention years ago, and it was never
finished. Tho Swed'sb machine will calculate tbe*
powors of bi quadratic equations, tbo logarithms
for fulling bodns from d fferent heights, for pro
jectile forces, tables of Bines, <fcj.—and ad by the
slow motion of a winch turned by hand. And
what is more, it stereotypes the columns of figures
after having c leuiated them. In all previous ma
chines, the carryings have proved u hiich ; but in
this of Mr. Bchoutz, the movements experience no
check, so beautifully aro the sevorul parts com
bined. Chamber’s Jour mil closes a description of
this new invention with the following sensible ob
servations.—Baltimore American .
“Admirably ingenious as this calculating ma
chine is, wo do noLseethut its manufacture tor sale
is likely to bo profitable j ior who will buy it ? One
or two in each of our largest chits would suffice to
calculate ail the tables that actuaries, public com
panies, or astronomers, aro ever likely to want.
Bat in saying this, lot us not bo supposed to de
preciate the invention, which iB oer.ainly a most
romarkab'.e pieoo of mochamsm, and highly hon

Births and Deaths in Flics ia— According to
tho tables publit-hed by the Berlin Statist 1 cal office,
the total number of b.iths in tho kingdom of Prus
sia, for the ten years, 1844 and 1854 inclusive
amount'd to ft,434 27<>, showing the annaal aver
age ot 043 427 euiidrcn ot both sexes. The great
est number was in tho year 1840 (091,562,) the
smallest in the revolutionary year 1848.
The number ot deaths in ilio same leu years on
an average, 484 112 persons annually, or in the

mortality appears to bo greater in Prussia t'-an in
some other comtries, for tho proportion in Eng

To Cure Tint Cxouf.—A writer iu tho Country
Gentleman jives the following proseript.ou tor
the croup:—Divest the child of all clothing abuut
the neck and chest; then bathe the threat und
upper part of the chest freely with cold water.
Let this be doue by pouring, sponging or very
frequent application of wot clo hs. Win o this
is being done, prepare warm water, and immerse
the feet in it. This giveß relief in a shod time;
the child should bo put quietly to rest with a
jug of warm water to the loet, when porspirulion
aud sleep soon fellows. Auy one can follow
these directions immediately, audit is a complaint
which is Boon fatal, nuiesu checked in tho ea;ly
stages, and many prooious lives are lost because
a physiciun is not at hand until too late to save
from builooslijn.
