A project is on foot to make a grand excursion to the Mediterranean, in (lie steamer Kric.-.son, leaving New York .bout the Ist of May, and arriving hack about the Ist of August. According to the programme, she will touch at (libral tor, Malta, Alexandria, Jaffa (for Jerusa lem.) Constantinople, Athens and Naples, remaining at each place a sufficient time to enable tiie passengers to see the sights. The number of passengers is limited to one hundred and fifty, and the fare of each, if adults, will be seven hundred and fifty dollars. Other expenses of the voy age. it is calculated, will ruise the whole cost o at,out nine hundred dollars. On the Wing. According to the Georgian, John W, Seymour, the great Hunk defaulter of Hartford, Conn., was in Savannah the latter part of last week, lie had grown so proud because of his recent distinc tion that he refused to recognize an old acquaintance, who had never swindled any body. So much lot- swell-licadism. Wheu ever a man makes a fortune, no matter by what means, he concludes that everybody who lias not as much money as he has is beneath him iu respectability aud unworthy of recognition. The precise amount of his defalcation in Hartford is ascertained to bo $115,600. llis sureties are responsible in SIO,OOO, leaving the loss to the Savings Institu tion $106,500. The whole capital of the concern is swept away, and the liank will be immediately wound up, it is hoped with comparatively small loss to deposi tors. ♦- Atlantic anil Gull’ Kallroatl.

No With draw At* nr Troops. — The statement going the rounds of the press to the effect that negotiations are in progress between the administration and Mr. liern hisel for the withdrawal of the army from Utah, the emigration of tlie Mormons to some island of the ocean, and the pur chase of their lands in h'llt Lake Valley by the government, is said by the Union to ho altogether destitute of foundation itil'net. That journal adds: The army was dispatched to Utah as to one of the military departments of the country, where its presence is required independently of the Mormons; and it would probably remain in that depart ment in the strength that lias been dis patched there, though every Mormon should evacuate the Territory. The lands of Salt Lake Valley liavo not, we believe, been yet sold to the’ Mormons. They occupy them as squat ters, and have never yet derived titles from the government. It would be re markable if the government should ne gotiate for the purchase of its own lands which it has never sold. The Mormons are believed to have no present intention of evacuating Utah.— The inarch of a formidable force of Uni ted States troops in that direction would probably induce a serious consideration of the subject on their part; but, strongly fortified as they are behind their canons and mouutain gorges, well pro vided with provisions, arms and ammuni tion, strengthened by manifold and for midable alliances with Indian tribes far and near—not to apeak of the strength they command in Washington through the opposition that is manifested towards an increase of the army—the thought has j not yet entered their minds of preparing for any early removal from Salt Lake Valley. The information received by the government from reliable soitrces all con cur in ascribing to the Mormons the very opposite temper aud purpose to the one and it is not believed that buy will be disposed to think of cupitu -1 .tion upon any terms so long as the gov ernment is prevented from sending a mil itary force against them formidable en ough in numbers to inspire them with trepidation. So far from any relaxation being like ly to occur iu the efforts of the adminis tration to press ou reinforcements to the army in Utah, we have conclusive reason to believe that every resource at its com mand will bo exhausted by the War De partment for swelling and expediting thoso reinforcements. The preparations of the administration will bo such that whatever responsibility for mischances to our gallant army shall attach to the government, shall fall alone at tho door of Congress. The amount expended for printing by tho last two Congresses is $4,400,000. Rejection of the Letdtmptow ConitL tutloni The action of the House off Mohday upon tho admission of Kn*a* under the Lecompton Constitution was a Virtual j rejection of her application for admission, j as it has so encumbered the question that it will be impossible to have final action upon it during the present session of Congress. This is all the Black Republicans desired. Their object was not so much to defeat the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitu tion as to keep tbo question open for an other campaign. It is a most excellent manufactory of political capital, and the leaders of the Hlnck Republican party do not wish to imitate the example of the foolish people we rend of, who killed the goose that laid the golden egg each day, in order that they might get all the eggs at once. They are well aware that so long as the Kansas question is kept open, they can thrive and wax fat upon the ng itntion it engenders, and as every phuso of the question seduces from his alle giance to the Constitution some political aspirant who regards personal honor and personal emolument as paramount to ev ery feeling of patriotism, and arrays him against right and justice, they feel that they have much to gain by keeping up the agitation, wliilo they have nothing to lose. Hence, they have bent all their exertions to defeat any definite action iu regard to it at this session of Congress, and have achieved a most signal triumph by the treachery of a few Southern mem bers. Had the South stood as a unit up on the question, Kansas would have been admitted at once, and agitation of the subject as a national affair would ut once have been quieted, and comparative peace been restored to the country. As it is, the agitation has been augmented a hun dred fold, and it will be a miracle if the Union survives it. While it will be boot less to utter reproaches against these traitors to their section, we cannot refrain from saying that their course deserves tho reprehension not. only of their con stituents, whose confidence we would fain believe they have violated, but also of tho entire South, which Ims been most outrogcously wronged and insulted by their treacherous conduct. The question now for consideration is, what shall be done by the South in the premises ? Shall she tamely submit to the insult mid wrong thus heaped upon her, or shall she rise up in the majesty of her might and hurl back t.ho tide of fanat icism which threatens to overrun her fair fields and engulf her beneath its turbid waters? This is a question for culm and serious consideration, as not only her rights and honor are involved, but even her safety as an independent portion of the Confederacy. It is true that it has not been definitely settled that Kansas shall not be admitted with her present Constitution, by a downright rejection of her application, but tho action of the House is tantamount thereto. Henco one of the cont ingencies has arisen, which some of the Southern States have declar ed would be just ground of resistance, “even (as a last resort) to the disruption of every tie that hinds them to the Union.” Will this prove an idle boast— a mere concatenation of high sounding words meaning nothing—or will they show that, they meant what they said, and intended faithfully to abide by that declaration, at whatever cost. There may he diversity of opinion among even those whose fealty to the South and her institutions have never been brought into question, but that some action should be had upon this new indignity, we cannot for a moment believe that the most ten der-footed Union-saver can stop even to discuss. With no disposition to be dic tatorial, or to precipitate any extreme measure of resistance upon the country, wo think Abut the circumstance calls at least for consultation among the wisest and best counsellors of the Southern States, as to wliat course should be pur sued. Wc know not that the case as it uow stands, divested of any future con tingencies, would warrant the resort to any decided aud firm measure of resist ance to the uct itself, but wc think the vote upon this question of reference as embraced in Mr. Harris’ resolution points very conclusively us to wliat will be the final action upon the question. We have no faith in the “sober second thought” of tho lilack Republican element iu Con gress adopting a different policy, ns ex perience has proven that every submis sion to a wrong and injustice only pro vokes other encroachments and aggres sions, and wc Lave been reluctantly forc ed to the conclusion that the only way to meet the subject is “to take tho bull by tho horns” at once, for “to this complex ion it must ootue at last.” While we are not entirely prepared to advocate a disso lution of the Uuiou for this aggression, we think it high time that the South should begin to “put her house iu order” for it, ns the contingency will as certain ly arise as that Congress reaches anoth er sessiou, which some of the States have sworn they will resist. To this end, therefore, wo hope prompt measures will be taken by the South to meet the ques ; tion in all its bearings, and adopt such a course as wilt bo best calculated to pre serve her honor and integrity, aud if posssible prevent the disruption of tho Union. —— ‘ It is recommended that all poisons em ployed or sold by druggists be strongly I colored with carbazotic acid, one grain of which is sufficient to impart a distinct yellow color to seventy thousand grains of water. This acid lias the peculiar property of imparting a yellow color (o the skin of a person taking it, as also to any food in which it might bo mixed.— It has been proved not to destroy or in any wuy modify the beneficial effect of prussic aoid in which it had been min gled, and the inference is that it would prove equally inert ‘in other poisons, wliilo it would serve to alarm the user, and indicate the poisonous oharacter of any preparation in which it had been mingled. A Fight lit. Die Hawse of Represen- 1 tstives—l l, e First struggle on the i Lecomfite n Constitution. We copy from the Washington States, of Saturday, the subjoined account of the proceedings in the House of Representa tives on the previous night, resulting in a free fight. In which several members were engaged: Thu doings in the House of Represen tatives last night, and in the “wee hours” of this morning, are chiefly interesting and remarkable—like the most successful inelo-dramas —for the scene in which the “single combat” inaugurated the “grand encounter.” The eyes of tho town are looking to the turning-point of the fray, and its ears are eagerly open for the “distant hum of war-clothed men:” The President’s message coming up, Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, came up with it, and did not go down until he had sharply reviewed that dooument. He ! questioned if the Lecompton Constitution, i which the Executive had transmitted to them, met, in its essential form, the will, wants, and wishes of the people, who were to be governed and affected by it.— He did not sec that the President had given them a chance of judging ou the justness of its passage, because he had not transmitted the vote of the people on tho Constitution. In the case of Minnesota, the Constitu tion and votes had been sent without a recommendation ; and in the case of Kan sas a Constitution and recommendation without the votes. Mr. Harris, of Illinois, desired to mod ify his amendment to Mr. Hughes’ resolu tion regarding the reference of the mes sage to a select committee of thirteen.— He desired to know if he could not offer a distinct but the Speaker be ing of opinion that it could not be enter tained, Mr. Harris offered the resolution as an amendment. Tho chief feature of this amendment is a reference of the message to a select committee of fifteen, instead of thirteen. The member from Illinois recognized the momentous character of tho subject under consideration ; and naturally felt that the rnoro information before honorable mem bers the more rationally and honestly could they come to a conclusion. Facts were indispensable for the country, be cause, if wc were on the verge of a utw order of things, the country at large should know it, and the causes for it. At ull events, why rush the thing stupidly through ‘! What objections could there be to an inquiry into tho facts ? lie believed truth never harmed anybody ; and upon a great public question like this, infor mation should be sought from ull sources, lie asked for nothing but what was per tinent to the issue. He was opposed to unnecessary delay ; but was equally op posed to a blind hurry. lie therefore offered his'&mendment, and moved the previous question. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, protested against this course, aud thought if a ma jority were determined to force it, the minority at leust ought to have a hearing. Then commenced a series of dodges to prevent a vote on Mr. Harris’ amend ment. Motions innumerable were made on every possible pretext; calls of the House followed at regular intervals, and i the members were beginning to get hoarse in answering “yea” or “nay” to their names. Motions for adjourment were squashed; motions for a recess were laughed at; motion to go into Committee of the Whole met entire contempt; mo tions to be excused from voting were numerous; questions of privilege had no chance: propositions for a compromise moved the House to exceeding mirth and laughter. The opposition of both parties were kept up with good humor. At one period, Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved, “in good faith, that when the House adjourn, it bo to meet in the old Hall.”— We didn’t know wliat for, as the motiou was not entertained. “How long,” asks an honorable mem ber—“how long will it take to call the yeas and nays already ordered ?” Mr. Speaker. “About four hours !” It will be seen that the opposition to the Lecompton measure must have becu strong, as every motion to adjourn, made by its advocates, was overruled by a ma jority. Thus there was no eud to the moving of members in the House, al though they did not move out of it. Matters went on in this way, and gen erally in a good-natured and good humor ed wilfulnoss, until about twenty minutes to two o’clock in the morning, when “Floddcn showed another sight.” All sorts of motions were being made, aud Mr. Grow was moving towards the Speaker’s chair, down the avenue, contig uous to which was the seat of Mr. Keitt. Some honorable made a motion. Mr. Grow objected. Mr. Keitt said : “Go to your own side of the House, sir, and make your objec tions there ” Mr. Grow promptly replied that “he would make his objections where lie pleas ed and iudiscreetly followed up this remark by saying that “he wouldn’t be governed by a slave driver.” This was the tocsin for war: Mr. Keitt thinking with Macbeth that the “Rightly purpose never is o’ertook unless tho deed go with it,” struck the member from Pennsylvania. Mr. Grow returned the blow ; the par ties clenched, and in rushed members from all sides, hoping to end this little row, but unconsciously contributing to commence a biff one. Mr. Barksdale, of Mississippi, interfered as peacemaker, and succeeded in parting them. He was bolding Mr. Grow, when a crowd rushed up, and he was struck, as lie supposed, by Mr. Washburne, of 111., Mr. Barksdale turned and gave Wasliburnc several se vere blows, when they were parted. The row went fast and furious right under the Speaker's chair, and in thor | ough disregard of the presence of the oc -1 cupaiits of the reporter’s gallery. Some thirty or forty members got so entangled and jammed up that it was i difficult to see which was which, or which got the worst or best of it. Blows were given and takeu indiscriminately. The affair was timed by a sporting character ’ present, who says it occupied one minute | and a half. J Speaker Orr aud the Sergeant at-Arms, Mr. Glosbrenner, deserve credit for the ■ prompt energy with which they succced- I ed in calming the tumult. W’hen all “was calm again,” the House \ fell back into its good-humored ways, the ! “little brush” having waked up some of the most unpatriotic, who dozed, uncon scious of the momentousness of the occa sion. The members went on resolving, and moving, and taking the “yeas” and “nays,” until after six o’clock thismr rti ing, when General Quitman introduu*- I a* resolution, suspending action on all other motions, except the previous questi m, (Harris’ motion to refer the whole sut jot to tho select committee,) which was made, by acclamation, the special order for Monday, at 1 o'clock; and tho House adjourned, as Burns says, “up in the mornin’ earlie.” TELEGRAPHIC.! TELEGRAPHED TO TIIE DAILY SUX. ARRIVAL or Tilli STEAMER FURTHER ADVANCE IN COTTON. Nkw Yobk, Feb. 10, 1858. The Steamship Indian has arrived, with Liverpool advices to the 27th ult. The Indian’s news reports a fuither advance in Cotton of jd. on ull qualities, and sales for the three days, up to the sailing of the Steamer on Wednesday afternoon, of 30,000 bales. Middling Uplands is quoted at fi 13-l Gd. The money market continues to grow easy, but no change in rates had takeu place. Consols hud declined a quarter. Washington News. Washington, Feb. 9. — ln the Senate, to day, a joint resolution was introduced, to take measures to enforce a settlement of the differences with this Government and Paraguay. In the House the pro ceedings are unimportant. Steamer Sunk. Memphis, Feb. 3. — The steamer Deca tur, Captain Bailey, bound from New Or leans for Cincinnati, struck the wreck of the sunken steumer Shotwell, a few mile3 above Memphis, on Sunday night, and sunk. The boat and cargo are a total loss. No lives were lost. She left New Orleans on the night of the 23d ult., lier cargo consisting of 575 tons of groceries, including 1400 barrels of sugar and 150 hogsheads of sugar. The Decatur was anew steamer, on her second return trip from New Orleans.— She was built at Pittsburg three months since, and cost $40,000. She is owned by Capt. Fruuk Bailey, Clerk Bart. C. Leiper and others, of Pittsburg, where she is insured for SIB,OOO or $20,000. — Tho loss of the boat and cargo is estima ted at $60,000. CIRCULAR FOR EUROPE. [PER Et'LTON.] New York, Feb. 0, 1858. We have been without any later news from Europe since my last, dated 3d in stant, but the cotton market has been very firm, though perhaps with hardly so much activity, operators being desirous of hearing from the other side by tho Arabia, now due. The sales of Wednes day were 1,000 bales, Thursday 800, and yesterday (Friday) about 2,000 the market closing stiff at J advance. Most of the Brokers quote Middling Uplands at 10;, but some advise sales as high as 11c. Gulf cottou (middling grades) are still quite scarce, aud quotations for these therefore remain nominal. The crop accounts received since Wed nesday generally average about 2,800,000 bales, while the three million estimates appear to have mostly vanished. Flour rules firm with more activity. A good portion of the sales are for export. Wheat is in request at full prices. Corn in good supply and easier—Southern yel low selling at 04 to 05c. Sterling exhibits but slight activity, and although the supply is abundant, no variation can he quoted in the rates.— Bankers’ bills range from 9J to 10 per cent, (principal sales at Os) and commer cial signatures from 9to 9.). Fraucs aro steady at 5 lof. to 5 12f. The superabundance of money contin ues, but the demand for it shows a very perceptible increase the present week. — In rates, however, there is-no change. Freights arc firmer, Jd. being asked for cotton, and Is. lOd. to 2s. for flour. The stock market has declined a trifle, iu consequence of parties realizing, but the sales are still large, and the general feeling is one of confidence in higher prices during most of the spring and summer months. Many of the Eastern manufacturers are complainiug of the fresh advance in cotton, aud declare that it will be impos sible for them to keep their mills open until there is more encouragement to do so than at present offers. At 9 cents for cotton they were willing to keep putting it into goods, but 11 cents has quite upset their arrangements. Whether this new move will have any immediate effect up on the raw material, remains to be seen. The Southern mail is to hand from all points as late as due. The next steamer heuce will be the Canada, from Boston, on the 10th. The Fulton takes out $093,981 14 in specie. Very respectfully, F. A. A. The Bible Question. Tho Board of the American Bible So ciety have almost unauiutrosly adopted the following resolutions, settling the vexed question as to the new standard edition of the Bible: Resolved, That the Society’s present Standard English Bible be referred to the Standing Committee on Versions for Ex amination: and in all cases where the same differs in the text or its accessories from tho Bibles previously published by the Society, the committee are directed to correct the same, by comformingit to pre vious editions printed by this Society, or by tbo authorised British press ; referenco also being bad to the original edition of the trauslators, printed in Kill ; and to report such corrections to this Board, to the etfd that anew edition thus perfec ted, mny be adopted as the Standard Ed ition of the Society. Resolved, That until the completion and adoption of such new standard edition, the English Bibles to be issued by this Society shall be such as conform to the editions of the Society anterior to the late revision, so far ns may he practica ble, and excepting cases where the per sons or auxiliaries applying for Bibles shall prefer to be supplied from copies of the present standard editition now on hand or iu process of manufacture. Singular Phenomenon. At Bangor, Maine, on Wednesday week, a most singular exhibition was visible in the heavens. The sky was almost entire ly clear except a slight haze, and the sun was very brilliaut. On each side of the sun and equidistant from it about five or six degrees, were two brilliant suns, vul garly called sun-dogs, from which sprung a well defined bow of light, which formed a complete semi-circle over the sun.— Several degrees above the centre of this semi-circle, towards the zenith, was a beautiful bow, showing the prismatic col ors and turned opposite the semi-circle. This beautiful phenomenon continued nearly all the forcuoon, and was witness ed by thousands. We understand that at oue time there was also a small bow with prismatic colors, but much fainter thau the one we have described, at the right of the mock sun. The Great English Remedy.!
