It is, to nnd Anti-Know ays rises when con vey” Intcreata. Pens at tho South, that j*ct- r citios and towns, grow ing out of rivalry induced by s supposed or RelOnI incongruity of their respective interests, prevent or postpone most desirable works of internal imptovc-f ment, and seriously retard the development of the great natural resourceaof the country. Cities that should be found co-operating together in tho ac complishment of important links of communication, plainly pointed out by the natural formation of tho country, and urgently demanded by the needs of trade and tho wants of tho public, are too often found bitterly opposing tho interests of each and both, and often encountering extravagant and un profitable tusks in the effort to do separately what they should unitedly undertake. Wo believe that it is some evil nnd mistaken jealousy of this kind which has heretofore prevent ed (Ue co-operation of our own city and Eufuula in tho construction of a railroad connecting the two, nnd which haa now turned the attentipn of tho latter to n connection with the South western Railroad u( Cuthbert. It neodfl noth ing more than a glance at tho map und an un derstanding of the comparative natural facilities for the conbtru tion of u reilro d afforded by tho two routes, to demonstrate the advantages of the routo direct from Eufaula to Columbus. We un- dcrstand'thc distance between Kufuulu and Cuthbert to bo twenty-six miles, and the route to ho one of the roughest aud most unpromising imaginable lor tho construction of a railroad. Tho estimated cost (which .we Jtwuii has been determined by survey to be wiiout $600,000) indicates tho dURr.uRtka of the .routo. It will nl«ohu necessary *.o cross the Chat tahoochee ni Eufaula on a costly bridge, f.i addi tion to these weighty obstacles, the section of tho ^ rood between Cuthbert and Eufaula will be but a brunch, and any extension of the Southwestern Railroad will bo made from Culhhort in a dilVuriml duNMition-—indeed,provision bus already been mode for its extension to Fort (iiiiiios, and ulong that line will its further progress towards a terminus on the Gull be certainly made. On the other hand, the distance from the nearest point on tho Girard and Mobile Railroad to Eufaula is only about thirty mileB, and tbo country is rep resented to lie one admirably adapted to a cheap railroad connection. On tho scorn of oconoun in cost of construction, the sc ala preponderates dt cl- dediy hi favor of a road from Eufaula to silver Run or Colbert—so we are told by persons acquainted with the topography of both routes. Tho distniu.-e by this latter routo from Eufaula to Macon, or any other point cast, is certainly no greater (if not ’.cm) than by the routo via Cuthbert and Aiuoricua and thou tho distance from Eufaula to Montgomery, or any point west, will ho vory much reduced by the adoption of tho route via Silver Run and Colum bus direct. Indeed, by a simple connection with the Girard und Mobile road, by o brunch thirty miles in length, our Eufaula friends could accom plish all that they can obtain by two expensive roads in other directions—could put llicwaolves ut once in neatly direct communication with Macon and Savannah on the east and Montgomery on the mtcsi,—aud all this at absolutely a less vxpenso than they will have to incur for the single rounda bout branch road to Cuthbert! Wo repeat, Wo fiar that this natural and cheap connection between tho two cities has been defeat ed heretofore by potty jealousiws that ought uot to have existed ; nnd if it be not too late to correct the error, wo trust that public attention will yet bo turned to tbe superior advantages, feasibility and ^economy of a railroad direct from this city to Eu faula.

Portions of hie Inaugural Address, contrasted with former avow als of principlo and policy by the Southern Democ racy, lead to t s conclusion. Allowing to the fullest extent the modifications and subtle explanations which the great body of ?*.• Southern Democracy now give to their former •*' roe Trade” p dicy, it is stall undeniable that they opposed protective discriminations in favor of any branch of home industry. Mr. Buchanan, in his Inaugural, trusts that the recent modifications of the Tariff have been such as to "do as little injury as may have been practicable to our domestic man ufactures and ho denounces discriminations agaiiut an) hrunrb of home industry. Opposition to works of Intcrnnl Improvement by the General Government has heretofore l»cen a car dinal, constitutional principle with the Southern Democracy. Yec Mr. Buchanan earnestly urges the Federal Government to construct a Railroad at least three times as long ni tho longest work of the kind in the world, and which alono will cost more money than the total amount donated by Congress for worksof this kind from the inauguration of the Government to the present moment ! A very shoit time ago, the great body of the Southern Democincy rallied in a sectional organi zation, upon a sectional issue, and were furious jn their efforts to array tho South in opposition to the authority of the Federal Government and the Union. Mr. Duchanun, in the Addross before us, denounces all attempts "to calculate the mere ma terial value of the Union,” deprecates all sectional ism. and extols the Constitution and tho Union as "the richest political blessings which Heaven has over bestowed upon uny nation,” Notwithstanding these severe thrusts at their favorite dogmas and principles, the Southern Democracy aforosaid are highly pleased with Mr. Buchanan's Inaugural, re* gurd him us occupying true constitutional and State Rights ground, and are prepared to give his Administration n clamorous support!

'Fho House cndiurnt, and a Committee ointod. After muchdii Committee fine i part of lutien and temporary enthusiasm the best guaranty that what the ingoing President does promise or announce as his sentiments he will adhere to with reasonable consistency. Unlike President Pierce, he makes no haughty proclamation to foreign pow ers of his determination to secure to American cit izens and for American rights a greater degree of respect than they have ever heretofore enjoyed ; and we believe that at the close of his term it caiiuot be said, as it ran of Tierce’s Administration, that during no four years «f our history were so niuny indignities offered to our flag or so many outrages committed upon the rights of American citizens. In keeping with the cautious policy evinced in tho general tone of the Address, is its ind< finiteness or non-committalism on several topics of practical im portances which it touches—a reserve, indeed, which characterizes the whole paper, and seems to deprive it of vigor or point. Among these topic* wo may class the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty and the subject of the Tariff. Instead of express ing bis opinions of tbo spirit and moaning of the Const it ut imr, Mr. Buchanan volunteers his inter pretation of the intention ol the Kauaas-jNeliruska act—an interpretation, however, which he is quite willing to surrender to a different judicial dictum, nnd which, indeed, he considers "a matter of but little practical impor'ai ce” nt best! Tho question with him is not whether a Territory, prior to its act of forming a Htate Constitution, may exclude slavery, and whether this power ought or ought not to bo forbidden in future acts of organization (if there be any), but how will the Supremo Court interpret the Kan«as-Nchraska act! In the decis ion of the Court, he thinks, nil "good citizens” ought 10 acquiesce ; and so doubtless they ought, while the law remains as that tribunal interprets it. But even a decision by that august body, legalizing squatter-sovereignty in Territories already organi zed, will fail to c nvince the people ol the South that in tho organization of future Territories o pre rogative so prejudicial to their section and rights ought to be allowed to the Territorial authorities. Nor could such a precedent and interpretation bo the means of quieting "the long agitation on tho slavery question ;” because it would make the Ter ritories, from tho time of their oganization until their admission ns Slates, the theatres of bitter and perhaps violent struggles to admit orexrlude slave ry ; and tho contests in tho Territories would un doubtedly influence and inflame the people of every Htate and section—just as the late contest arose in Kansas in the abolition effort to exclude slavery by Territorial action, run riot there in aconraof murder and arsmi.uiid involved the whole Union in intense excitement. Equally indefinite nnd cvnaive are the Preai- dent's remarks about u mm!ifica'ion of tho Turill'. lie "trusts” that the recent changes are just and proper; but Do one can tell from his language whoihcr his doubts spring from his rrgard for "our domestic manufactures” or his sympathies with the "rest of the community"—whether he fenrs that the amendments leave the system defective ns a "revenue tariff,” or unjust in its "discriminations.” But perhaps this lack of explicitness finds its justi fication in tho philosophy of tho Nationul Intelli gencer, which paper (in an articlo highly nnd un reservedly complimenting the Address) nnys : In a country like ours, the genius of whoso in. iprnirold ruinlions of ifh end to the production n| manifestly impossible to ml consequent influences d an Administration , therefore, should be -that the Inaugural Address ol hsists rather of general statements definitions respecting the luturo Ins policy, it must he admitted in candor a reticence bus a legitimate foundation not only in tho vory nature ol each political ora lo ry, but in the prudent reserve of a wise at«teinaii- f hip. which aver acts in "the living present" and caves fho dsad past to bury its dead.' 1 Wo havo already, in a hurried manner, expressed our gratification experienced in the perusal of Mr. Buchanan's remarks rclaiivo to the public lands.-*. May he have the flmrnesa and (be ability to reform altogether tho system of corruption and favoritism which ho denounces! There is a Iso uuotker an nouncement in the Address, which is not only grat ifying and patriotic per se, but which gives strong encouragement to hopo for tho rigid persistence of the new President in the policy which he may con scientiously favor. We alludo to the explicit de claration that he will not be a candidate for u second term. Thin resolution we rigard as n predicate upon which may be based an Administration eminently just and constitutional, guiltless of the low in. trigues of the demagogue, and independent of the petty schemes and tric'xato which the party cliques of the nation are resorting in (hair efforts to elevate to the imporial neat this or that aspiring intriguant. Unuffcctcd, personally, by the struggle for the suc cession, tho Executive of the nation will lie free of rnuny of the mists of prejudice nnd selfishness which have shut out from tho view of former Chief Magistrates tho true interests ol the people and the piai.'i pathway of the Constitution. We aro quito sure that Mr. Buchanan will iu no political organisation of tiio country find heartier epplaudcrs of the strong Union and conservative spirit of his Inaugural, than in the ranks of tho par ty to which we belong—the party in Georgia that opposed his olection. And we must in candor say, that ill this respect his Cabinet appointments and all his political manifestations sinco his election ap pear to boar witness to the sincerity or his purpono to slrongthen as far at possible the bonds of union and tho common political sympathies and interests which connect tlieso States together. We have reserved for the last paragraph of this imperfect review, that portion of the Address which in our judgmont is most objectionable and porten tous of evil. We allude to the new President's unequivocal advocacy of the construction by Con gress of a Railroad to tho Pacific. This is by far tho moot gigantic and costly undertaking over oeri- ously urged upon the General Government, and coming imin the President of a party that has si- w*japrofessed opposition i*» works of intern*} iia,*Mdj»i —»n>Mhing m-iik gigantic. Even if protfcnled honestly and eco nomically, the enterprise would for one gemmation at least tax hoavily every Interest of the country. We would then no longer be perplexed with "an overflowing treasury no reduction of dutiee with a view to decreasing the ravenue would be proposed by eny party; find our "npbio inheritance iu the public lar.de" would be rapidly swallowed down the coimorant throat that greedily demanded surplus funds, accruing revenue, and every acre of the publio domain 1 Tbo argument that the duty to protect tha Pacific coast from foreign invasion demands, or even justifies, such a stupendous underUkipg by Congress, is not supported by either the eirctiu^- tanees of (he caso or by general principles of jue^ lice and impartiality. Long before the road can be buiH, the Hiatus on the Pacific will probably be fully as able to protect themselves as othr Southern liantic Htates now ere; harbor defences can probably will be constructed, end manufacto- of munitions ol war established. If the»pree- t exposed situation of the poople of the Pacific and Territories demands the cous.ruction by •vernruent of a Railroad to oollnect thorn with to populous parts of the Union, does not a eondiiion of Unpeople of Texas or Florida Radroads from their towns to se<£ionvof the try more abounding iu population au4'lhe re- l*s of wtrl If not at proaeut, was not evtty onco dependant upon quick and'easy com* niealiou with-1 he other States for means of de- ee in case of warlike Invasion I and if Congreta [led to provide works of internal improvement to ;ure thetp against anticipated invasion, would not be faghly unjust now heavily to tax them pr^nriate their piblie domain f* Ihe hull- - p Railroad of yopoiultoled^length (at gf it being through a sterile [ad to struggle for tlieroselvca ! But the truth is, thill work is not domanded by any exi gency of the public defence, and it is a miserable begging of tho question for Mr. Buchanan to justify it on this ground. NTImse who are clamorous for the work hare no romideralion of the national de fence in view; it ia commerce and speculation that demand the Pacific Railroad, and the apprehension of hostile invasion ie fat from being a stimulant to the efforts of those who are urging it. This woukl be re a illy manifested should Congress select one route only, even should th: t one be undeniahly the cheapest and most feasible; we would then find the interests working for other routes abandon ing nt once all arguments ns to the necessity rf providing against foreign invasion, and supporting their own routes or none. Perhaps this diversity of local and selfish interests is now the best guar anty that the project cannot be carried through, and that the President will fail to obtain the co- operation of Congress in consummating so gigan tic a work. reflect of (lie New Tariff* In the adjustment of tho Tariff duties made by tho Into Congress, (ho New England interests managed to secure a counterbalancing advantage for the slight reduction of direct protection to the Woolen manufacture. Tho bill passed reduces the duty mi Woolen manufactures from 30 to 24 per cent., but it at the samo time makes a greater reduction of tho duty on coarse unmanufactured Wool, for the benefit of home manufacturer*. Thus "Peter is robbed to pay Paul," literally. The gVowcrs of wool are fleeced to provide bounty fcr the manufacturers of the article. The Boston pa pers report already "a large advance" iu tho price of stock in some of the mills which use wool largo- ly ol the coarser kinds. The Lowell Mnnuf cturing Company’s stock advanced 6 per cerit. on the 7th inst., and the Bay Stato Mills, the Pacific Mills, and other establishments of the kind, were expected to receive " a new impulse from the change in the Tariff." The greatest dissatisfaction wilh.tlie new Tariff appears to come from the Iron interests. But as the reduction of the duty on manufactured Iron is but slight, and as it is still classed in the same schedule with Sugar, the complaints of sectional unfairness to wards this branch of industry are manifestly unfounded. We trust that the Repre sentatives of the South will continue to connect 8ugsr with Iron and Woolen manufocturcs, and only aubmit to reductions pari passu with nbate- menteof the duties on theso brandies of Northern industry. gfiy- The Washington Star states that the orig inal draft ol Gen. Washington's Farewell Address, in the handwriting of the "Father of liis Country,” hue been stolen from the Library of the Stale De partment. Independent of its value as the imme diate work of the illustrious dead, ita possession wua important as evidence of the groundlessness of the claim set up by Ibe historian ol Humilton, that the latter wrote the Address. tsr Tho Washington correspondent cf the New Orleans Delta writes that Gen. Cuss, in Exc- rulivr session of tho Heiiate, expressed himself de cidedly opposed to the Dallas-Clarendon Treaty. He is reported to have said that "he could never •igrec to a partnership wdth Great Britain on any matters touching the interests or integrity of the Centra) American Htates." Wo trust that he will firmly maintain this stand while Secretary of State. Tub MhXicax Tiibaty.—The nows from Mexico, copied in another column, c> tifirms the reports that tho now Treaty with that Republic docs not secure to the United States uny compensating ben efits for the favors which it grants to Mexico, but actualiv makes our Government a money-broker advancing cash to sustain the weak admin stration of a noiglimriiig Htate !

Tub Nirv Attoiinky Gknnual—This gentle man having boon selected by Mr. Buchanan as one of his "constitutional udvi.ers" at the very luteal moment, and/without any premonition, there has been not a lilfio blundering committed by the press in designating the man by his proper tiumu. Most of the paper/(our own among them) designated him as 8niu/cl W. Black; others reported his name us plain htfin Black ; and severe j, ill the spirit of tho Inaugural Address, indefinitely printed it Black. D'e now learn that the gentleman's real ! name is/oreminh 8. Black, and that ho is fur from | being i\Jblank, so far nt legal attainments and fit ness \Jr the station aro concerned. Tho Philadel phia ‘North American (Uts Fremont paper) candid- ly suys of him : “Wo are sincerely gratified at the choice of Judgo Black. Jle is a lawyer of very high attainments, end of most accomplished mind in other respects; and we arc sure ho will Jo emi nent credit to his new position." Dmuociucy and Couporatioxs.—Our friend of ti&jidmdjpQrJiyfiuircr is mistaken ip suppoping, i in the aMJe 'ivhich we copy, that the late Tele graph hilrcrfates A corporation. It only authorizes the Beoretary of Btuto to contract with a corpora tion already, eV to bo created. There are however numerous other instances of Democratic legislation to which its strictures have a direct application.— Savannah Republican. We had not seen a copy of the bill before Con grossjurhen we wrote the article; but the Republi can v»il see, on a closer scrutiny of our remarks, that wu had in view an indirect charier of a com pany fcy the legislation of Congress, and viewed ita act giving efficiency and life to a corporation, in this way, as fully obnoxious to the old Democratic "hoc and cry" against such a power as direct and exehlMve legislation. Wo remarked : "Depending as thu enterprise does upon the joint encourage ment and recognition extended by the United States and Great Britain to the company, wc do not aee how a vote for the bill ia to be reaoqcilcd with thu old Democratic constitutional objection to charters tad incokorttiona by Cougrras." We remember auoihar oig Democratic axiom, that "Congress can not do indirectly that whieh it baa no power to do d-redly;" and we coincide with the doctrine. If, then. Congress has. in connection wi)h State leg. illation (domestic or foreign) aidpd in giging life and exclusive privilege to e corporation, and this round-about proceeding ia a proper and constitu tional mode of doing that which it has no right to do directly and independently, why may it oot, by the came circuitous process, sol up a United States Bank by concurrent legislation with a State, with out vietaliog tha Democratic constitutional scruple! For should it promise a Pennsylvania corporation to deposit the Federal revenues in its vault* wftfct it procured the necessary banking pn.v- iiug legislature of ifie Htate, would uot that eg analogous to this aid given by and giving life and privilege to ^ Ay no Telegraph Company ? A Democrat's ft£atimatc of Geary* The Tjllsb..*a- e Floruia Sentinel states that it has seen a letter to a citizen’ of ita town from a prominent Democrat of Kansas, late of Virginia, who represents Gov. Geary to bo a decided aboli tionist. Reporting (ho information derived from this letter, it says: Geary has sold out to the "Freedom shriekers," and ia fishing fora seat in the U. H. Senate when Kansas cornea in as a Htate. He is charged with interfering with the Judiciary, and fdaying into the hands ofthe frresoilers by vetoing every bill passed by the Legislature that doesn't smack of freedom. 8ound eno gh at first, he has turned to be a real "Buck and Breck and Free Kansas” Democrat, at h'*art. in the language of this writer. •« "black an abolitionist as any one of tho Isle Worcester Convention." Whitb 3uad at Wbtumpka.—Tha Wetump- ka (Ala.) Spectator reports that Judge Neil, of that place, has presented tho editor with a genuine white shad caught on hia trap in the Coosa river; and tbo Montgomery Journol *ays that good judg es have pronounced some of tho *had caught at Wetumpki this year to be the rc.il white shad, and no mistake. If these fish ran up the river (as it is supposed all shad do), how does it happen that none have been caught in the Alabama river or the Coosa below Welumpka, or indeed in nny other river of the Gulf west of Floiidal This singularity, as well os tho fact that they were caught on traps (indicating that they were passing down the stream) would socni to argue that the shad are permanent residents of the upper Coosm river.

Vt ABtiiNQTON, March 9.—Tho new Cabinet is in session this morning, engaged, as ia supposed, in tbo consideration of the policy to be pursued re lative to tho Executive appointments. All the Departments have furnished lists of the officers who hold places in the same under limited com missions, and tho opinion prevai's here that such officers will bo permitted to oontinua until the ex piration of their commissions, lobe re-appointed or not, as the administration may prefer, but as a gen- oral rule such vacancies a.e to be filled by newnren, which some of the present incumbents already un derstand ; and this will be the case especially in New York, Philadelphia and other principal cities. The minor places will of course be affected by this policy which is regarded as one of rotation. Almost an entire change o( foreign Minister* and Consuls la anticipated. —~ The Democratic members of the Senate in cau cus have concluded to adjourn on Saturday next, provided the President has no occssion to detain them beyond that time.

Henry’s Patent for Spinning cotton cn Plantations.. We extract the following: Cost of Machinery.—Tho cost ol machinery to spin up the following quantities of cjtton per day, I collate from various estimates made by leading and eminent machine manufacturers. A forty-five bale planter, making 22,600 pounds of cotton, will require to gin and spin 75 pounds a day, in 300 days, to put it into yarns—and the ma chinery will coat about $1,500. The increased value of his yarn will be, ut present prices, about $2,800. A hundred bale planter, of 50,000 pounds, will requt.e to gin and spin in each of 300 days, 167 pound* per day, and his will cost him about $2,500. From $5,000 his will be raised to* $10,000. A two hundred bale planter will require to gin erd spin 333 pounds per day, end hia machinery will cost him about $4,600. From $10,000 his will be raised to $20,000. A three hundred bale planter will require to gin and apin 500 pounds per day, and hia will cost him about $6,000 and hia yarns will be worth $30,000. A six hundred bile planter, making 300,000 pounds, will require to gin and spin 1,000 pounds per day, a:id his machinery will coat about $12,000 and *iia income will be $66,000. A twelvo hundred bale | lanter, making $600,- 000 pounds, will require to gin and spin 2,000 pouuds per day, and his machinery will cost about $24,000. His income will be about $135,000. A fifteen hundred bale planter, making 760,000 pounds, will require to gin and spin 2,500 pounds per day, and his machinery will coat about $30,000. Hia income will be about $170,000. These are approximate estimate# fur yarns num bering about an average of 5 to 10 and 15. As we progress in the art, we will buy more machinery end spin tho finer yarns. We observe that certain leading gentlemen of Mobile have taken hold of this enterprise, and are acting as Commissioners for the ~«lc of a certutn interest in the invention. We hope and believe that it will be successful; and if so, the cctton plan ter become t, "hero below,” the "Lord of Creation." —Montg. At ait First Htate Flection ol’ the 1 ear. The election for Governor and other 8tstc offi cers, members of Congress, und of the State Legis lature, is to be held to-day in Now Hampshire. The Hon. John 8. Wells, lately a Senator of the U. S„ is the Democratic candidate for Governor, and Mussis. George W. K uteri.I go, George W. Morri son, and William P. Wheeler are the candidate* of the same party for Congress. The Republican candidates are: For Governor, William Haile, and for Congress, James Pike, Mason W. Tsppan, and Aaron H. Crsgin, ull of whom were members of the late Congress. This election will be noticed with interest as the first gun of the campaign. The Democratic journals seem to calculate upon a reac tion in favor of their party, but whether their ex pectations are well founded cannot Im known until alter the election. The canvuss has been a remark ably quiet one.— National Intelligencer, 10/A. Concord, March 11.—Haile, Republican, has beun elected Governor of New Hampshire by 3000 majority, and the whole Republican ticket is chosen. Concomd, March 11.—The Republicans hnve e- lected every member of the Council and Senate, and aboat two thirds of the House of Representa tives, together with all three members of Congress. Pricks of Mks, North and Soutu.—Horace Greeley, it has been shown, was purchased some months since, by a North-Western Speculating Company of bribers, for the round sufU of $1,000. No one, familiar with Greeley’s paper, for your* back, would at all doubt the fact of his being venal to the core —as venal as Bennett, of the Herald.— But we confess our astonishment at the smallness of the price paid for him in this particular case.—- If unaccompanied by a contingency very large and not vory remote, it would seem almost entirely in adequate. Why, hrru at the South, a negro man, of about such a build and physical capacity as v • take Greeley to p>*sses< from the description wc have Huen, would briug from $1,400 to $1,600; though of course, a negro could hardly bo sold at all here, if his moral charucter were not better than the editor of the Tribune. Thu solution of this matter of tbs low prlco may, poiftildy, be found in the glutted nf-ite of the North ern market. Wo see by the N. Y.

Kane’s Dot).—The Arctic dog brought home by Dr. Kane has strayed away off in Allegany.— Ho has become tho property of Juraet McArthur, timber dealer, in QramcJ. Tho recent cold wea ther has kept this lurge black, shaggy animal in high spirits. When thoy take him into the forest among tho timber hewers, where he can do no barm, and remove hia muzzle, he cuts all sorts of pranks, seeking tho deepest drifts, and actually bu< rying himself for delight; you can sec the dry snow move, but no semblance of a dog, till on n sudden out he pops, giving his hairy fleece u tremendous shake, and away he runs for unother dive. Mr. McArthur calls him "E* ki-mo," (Esquimaux,) not a very smooth name, but characteristic. To look "Eak" fair in the face you see almost a likeness ot u black bear, though his eyes are rather languid.— 1 His long, soft, shaggy covering is nearly equal in bulk to his body. When left to run at large in the villuge ho wears a muzzle, to prevent his destroying the pigs and chickens.—Newark (N. J.) Advertiser. An "Affair of Honor."—We learn from the Mobile Advertiser, of the 8th inst., that a hostile meeting took place near ihe Magnolia Race Course, near that city, on Ihe 7th inst, between Mr. T. O. Nixon, of the New Orleans Crescent, und Mr. Urt-ckcnridge, of the Courier. Shuts were ex changed, anJ the latter loll, the ball having passed through and broken one leg, and inflictod a flesh wound on the other. We learn thut the wound i* not considered mortal. Tho difficulty, we under stand, grew out of a newspaper controversy be tween tho Orescent and Courier in regard to the utnended New Orlcnns city charter.—Mont. Matt. Personal—The Washington correspondent of the N. Y. News, thus explains the cay*e of the presence of Senator Sumner in Washington :—"Ho has not been here since the passage of the Com pensation act. and net being able to get any pay Until he came on to draw it, he wisely concluded thut he had better come on and pocket tho money. His absence being attributable to allege*] sickness, the pay will not be deducted, the result is, that this man who has grossly neglected his lagislative duties ever since last summer, will draw about four thou, sand dollars for service he bns never performed.—- Ho looks very well, and were it not fur h's down cast appearance indicating hurt pride rather than bodily harm; I would Qot havo i mug mad that any thing had ever happened to him."

On re-assembling the business in' both branches was mainly confined to the reports of the several committees of conference on diaa-1 greeing amendments. Through this agency were disposed of the re maining general appropriation bills, namely : The civil and the deficiency bills; the book feature of \ the latter was so amended as to allow certain books T to be given to new members to be deposited in tho public libraries of their districts. House or RBFBEsEifTATiVBa.—The House passed the Senate joint resolution directing thnt separate medals be presented to Dr. Kane and hit arctic companions, as a testimonial of the high estimation in which Congress holds their merits and services. Mr. Aiken offered a resolution that tbc thanks of the House arc due and are hereby tendered to Hon. Mr. Banks, for the able, impartial and dignified manner in which he has discharged his duties as speaker during the present season. Messrs. Craige, Wheeler nnd others objected to the reception ot ihe resolution. The speaker protein. (Mr. Haven) decided that the resolution was n question ol privilege. Mr. McMullen said thnt he voted against Mr. Batiks. There won much in his conduct he could 4 approve and much that he was called upon to rou-* demn aa one of the Representatives of Virgii.ia. He waa not only opposed to the resolution, but he* * entered bis solemn protest against it. It came* from the lost State in the Union he supposed it would come from. He regretted that Mr. Aikenl) had introduced it, and if he could lake back the vote^ he gave the latter for Spe iker lie would do it. Mr. Seward regretted exceedingly that there had been any manifestation ol feeling on the subject, i He came from the State of Georgia, which occu pies as proud n position as Virginia, or any other’ Stato. He came there with all his Southern preju dices against the occupant of the chair. He had witnessed lus conduct cloaely, and scru tinized it at every step, and must say that he had seen as much firmness in Mr. Banks as m the oc cupant of the chair of any legislative body else where. lie took pleasure, coming from the South as he did. and differing with the occupant of the chair, to vote for the resolution and raise his voice in doing justice too political adversary. Great confusion here existed. Mr. il nois, apponled from the decision that it* was a privileged question. (Cries of* Mr. Harris loudly maintained that he was not thus to be cut off from obtaining the floor. Mr. Houston appealed to gentlemen to vote for the resolution and not raise points ol order. Mr. Keitt asked Mr. Harris to withdraw his ap- peal. Mr. Harris did toon condition thnt members could*record their vote*, and finally after further debato the resolution was adopted—yeas 119, nays 25.

Mr. Trumbull said that tho Republicans—i third the members of the Senate—have only ar members on the committees, and he could hav< part or lot in the list thus formed. Mr. Kosscnden remarked l&iai a just and fair dis tribution had not been made among the Republi cans. The committees on Commerce and Indian affairs contain each but one of that party. Mr. Mason replied that Parliamentary usage and political propriety gave the party responsible for the measures before the Sonate control of the com mittcea, but there was strict propriety in giving (hi minority a chance to bo heard. Mr. Criuottdon said h-* did !'ot belong to tire highj contracting parties, and therefore coulu have] irg to do with the arrangement. The committees as selected were adopted.
