At half past 2 o’clock, the House adjourned

February 18, 1850.
We are still without a quorum. If the two absent
Democrats do not return, I presume some compro
mise will be made that will enable the House to meet
and pass the appropriation and Tax Hills, and ad
journ. The Senate have pret.y well got through
wha business they had, that could be acted on with
out the concurrence of the House. It is much lobe
regretted that the District Dill was not reserved for
the last business of the session. I think some of the
more considerate wliigs regret their course, but think
they have gone too far to recede. I have seen bun- ;
dreds of men that I thought were braver than my
self, so far as brute courage was concerned, but I
thank Hod that I have always had moral courage
enough to do what 1 thought right, regardless of the
opinions of others.
There is no doubt, I believe, of Jackson’s election. ;
We have had another small fight since I wrote you,
between two Democrats. 1 suppose our people are
training, in the event of any row with their political i
opponents. For the credit ol the country 1 hope we
will have no more. Yours, See. T.

7','u* Nicaragua Question —New Difficulty—The
M•xioin (Jtin.nissiiui'rs Tint Brazil Commis
sion—Supreme Court — Mr. pooh;’ s Compromise.
There is reason to believe that anew difficult}’ j
lias arisen between this government and that of j
Great Britain, in reference to the Nicaragua ques
tion, and to British pretensions in Central America, j
It appears that the British Government lias taken 1
upon herself the protectorate of the republic ol Costa
Rica, which, with her assutneJ protection of the j
Mosquito country, furnish the basis of a claim of:
rights of jurisdiction on both sides of the oceanic j
canal route. Our government will not agree to any ‘
treaty that shall recognize or tolerate these preten
sions.
It is not impossible that any treaty may he delayed |
by this article. An exclusive jurisdiction by Great j
Britain is inconsistent with the object of the treaty.
There is no necessity for any treaty at all with Great
Britain, except for the purpose of obtaining a relin
quishment of these pretensions, and of obtaining
her guaranty for the neutrality of the (’anal. We i
do not ask her consent to the contract which has [
been made lor the construction of the Canal.
However, from various circumstances, it may he i
conjectured that there is a mutual disposition on the ‘
part of noth governments to make an amicable and
permanent arrangement.
You will notice, in your Senate report. Mr. Foote’s j
resolution, looking to a plan of compromise. It is j
the mode that lias been heretofore successfully adopt
ed on like occasions, of reconciling the views of j
opposite sections. The committee will ol course be |
constituted of both sections and both parties—not j
embracing any extreme man , like .Mr. llale, Mr. j
Steward and Mr. Chase. Mr. Seward is determined i
to press the Wilmot proviso, and force Senators to
‘■face the music,” to use the favorite phrase of the ‘
Jrce-soilers.
Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, made an able, ingeni- ,
cuis, and eloquent speech to-day in reply to Mr. ‘
Clay,and in o-position to his propositions. lo.n. [

The President's California M ■stage —The Ad minis- j
lration on the Slurery Question — Passage<J tin ‘
11 •mute Bill—l's Provisions, if".
We have had another exciting day of the session.
The much expected message ol the President in re- ;
gard to California, has at last been sent in, hut con- j
trary to all expectation, couched in general terms’ j
communicating merely the fact that a government j
.had been formed in California, and enclosing a copy (
•of the constitution, and accompanying correspond- j
dice. The President seems to Vie determined not |
to take the initiative; hut softer the question to come j
up to him for s- ttlement. The Administration in j
regard to the slavery question, seem to hold the same ]
position which the British cabinet occupied in 1529.
in regard to the then existing war between the
North and South of Europe (Russia and Turkey.
The greatJßussian Dipbanate, Prince Lievcn, in his
despatch to Count Nesselrode, dated Condon, 13th
June, 1829, described the situation and charaeterof
the Duke of Wellington (then premier) as follows:
‘ In regard to the Duke, it is clear that he is afraid
of examining his own position , leaving the events
to take care of him, and to extricate him from the ,
difficulties with which he is surrounded. But the ;
more critical his position is, the easier will it be for ;
him to take advantage of the most trifling circum
stance, in order to escape Irom it by a coup d'etat.
From a singular mixture ol boldness and timidity,
the Duke often provokes the rui-haps which he is
anxious to avoid ; and when the evil comes he de
fies it without calculating the ultimate cost of his
res* lotion.” This is a pretty fair sketch <8 the great j
British General’s character as a statesman, and ;
appears to me so well adapted to the present time, ,
that I translated it from the ‘'New Portfolio,’ 1818.
In regard to the Nicaragua question we have also
n message, saving that we shall have a message
when it shall lie time, and not sooner.

Health of Mr. Calhoun Peaceable Dissolution
of the Union —Effect of Mr. Clays Speech —
The California .Message — Non-Committal — Sena
tor Davis's Speech, cf-r.
Mr. Calhoun yet remains in a precarious condi- j
lion. His further continuance in active public life j
may he considered as very doubtful, if not wholly !
out of the question. Last week, however, lie sent j
word to his friends, that he hoped to be so far restored i
to health as to he able to address the Senate on j
Tuesday next ensuing. He now says he must make ;
one more effort, though such effort should he at the j
•costof his life. Mr. Calhoun is determined to die j
when he must, with “harness on. ’ lie is “game ’ >
in justice and right to the last. i
The Senate lias been wasting time and energies ;
in a fruitless discussion of the petition from j
• Friends’’ in Pennsylvania, praying Congress to j
:adopt measures for a peaceable (/) dissolution ot the j
Union, as though such peaceable dissolution can ever :
.happen.
if Mr. Clay, in his celebrated speech last week. (
had not taken ground against the line of 30 deg. 30
loin, the exciting, absorbing, and all-important ques
tion might have been in a fair train ot settlement..
The South would he satisfied with an arrangement
which would extend said line to the coast o! the Pa- j
cific. We yesterday were told by one of the warm
est advocates for the rights, interests, and honor of
the South, a distinguished Senator, that hut for Mr.
Clay’s proposition and speech, the vexed question
might have been settled satisfactory to all parties.
But now, Mr. Underwood voting with Mr. Clav, and
Gen. Houston with Mr. Benton, all in opposition to
the Missouri compromise line, the question is unfor
tunately left open for further and possibly more dis
astrous agitation and discussion. Heaven torefend
nidi a result!
The Senator and Representatives from California
are on the floor of the House, and are cordially greet
ed by members of all parties. If the question of ad
mission rested solely with the House, California
might be a member of the Uuion without the delay
which is now anticipated.
The President’s message upon California affairs,
together with a voluminous miss of public docu
ments relating thereto, has just been laid before the
Senate and House of Representatives. It amounts
to this : 4 'l have the honor to submit
herewith the Constitution of California, &e , and am
very respectfully,&c. Z. Taylor.” No recommen
dation pro or con, in relation to California, forms j
part of the message. In reference to Nic;.ngua, Mo.—
quito, &c., the Pres dent assures Congress, all the
information asked for and in the power of the Ex
ecutive to give, will be communicated cheerfully 60
soon as the public interests will make it expedient
and proper.

Supreme Court Decisions.
Abstract of Decisions of the Supreme Court
at Talbott on, January , 1650.
Maxwell vs. Harrison. From Lee —l. An ac
tion of trover, against A, “as trustee of B,” may be j
amended by striking out the words “as trustee ol j
B, and proceed against him individually.
2. Declarations of the donor, that a negro “belong-!
od” to the alledged donee, are admissible in evidence, .
though the possession be in the donee at the time. j
3. Proof that the defendant on oath, in another
suit, swore that he had the right to “the possession j
of the negro, and the right to control her, and that
he would not give her up,” is sufficient evidence ot j
a Conversion.
4. Any witness may give his opinion as to the san- j
ity of a grantor, provided lie states the lucts on which l
| the opinion is founded.
5. A remainder in personal property cannot he
j created by parol. Lyon for Plaintiffin Error, Brown j
for Defendant.
Harrison vs. Adcock. From Rand<flph. —l. The ,
Statute 32, Henry VIII. against maintenance, and j
, the sale of pretended titles, is in lorce in this State. |
2. The possession of a party, converted into a |
• tru-tee by operation of law, is adverse to the cestui i
que trust. Benning lor Plaintiff in Error, Taylor
and 11. Holt for Defendant.
Mercier vs. Mercer. From Early.—l. The hill
of exception and Writ of Error, may be wilhdiawn i
by consent of parties, and the judgment below will ’
stand affirmed.
Baldwin vs. Lf.s-eur. From Randolph.—l. j
Where A. rents property to B. in consideration ol j
which B. agreed to make certain repairs, and B. tails |
to make the repairs, in a suit by A. on the special
contract, the measure of the damages is the injury
arising from the breach, and evidence is inadmissible
to show the vi.lue of the premises for the term. 11.
Holt for Plaint iff in Error, Taylor for Defendant
Bower vs. Smith. From Randolph.—l. Where
Books ni accounts are offered in evidence, the entries
being in the hand writing of the party, P is not tie- j
cessary for him to swear that he kept no clerk.
‘2. Proof, aliunde, that the accounts of a physician j
were reasonable, is not a sufficient proof that the ac- ]
counts were correct.
3. Where the Books offered have interlineations
i and other discrediting circumstances, they must he
explained prima facie to the Court, before they will
Ibe admitted in evidence. After the Books are sub
! mitted to the Jury their credibility is to be determin-
I td by them, as any other evidence.
4. Books of accounts are not sufficient to charge
the deft with the account of another alledged to have
j been assumed bv def't.
6. The Court should not submit to the Jury a ques
| tion, upon which no evidence whatever was before
; them.
G. Where the Bill of Exceptions is silent as to an
1 important fart, the Court will presume the Court be
; low acted within the pale of the law. H. Holt for
Plaintiffin Error,Taylor for Defendant.
Adams vs. Lamar. From Baker.—l. The Sn
i perior Court of Georgia has not jurisdiction of a Bill
! in Equity, to decree a specific performance of a con
tract a to lands lying in Georgia, against a citizen
; of another State, nor will such a Bill lie retained for
j the purpose of partition where a decree is first
, sought to determine the interest or share of the com
| plaiuant.
2. More especially an injunction will not he grant
‘ ed. to restrain the citizen of another State from sell
’ ing his interest in the lands. Lyrn for Plaintiffin
j Error, Platt and Chappell for Defendant,
j Riokdon vs. Holliday. From Dooly.—l. A be
’ quest of personality was to A. B. and C. during their
1 natural lives, and at their death to he equally divided
among the children of A. and B. Held —that the
; right of the children, (whether they take by families or
j per capita.) to the possession of the property, does not,
accrue until the dealh of the last tenant for life. Ly
on for Plaintiffin Error, S. T. Bailey for Defendant
Tkeaton vs Greenwood. From Baker.— l.
When a woman deposites money and property in
i the hands of a person, in whom, from peculiar farts,
j she placed great trust and confidence, to be used bv
j him for her benefit, and lie accepts the trust, Held—
that a Court of Equity will take cognizance of a
| Bill to compel the trustee to account.
2. That it is not necessary to alledge in such a
1 Bill that the complainant seeks discovery, where the
l facts charged of themselves show such a discovery
j necessary.
3. The statute of limitations does not run in fa
vorof a trustee, where the trust is created by the act
of the parties or appointment of law, so long as there
is a subsisting trust. In such a case the possession
of the trustee is the possession of the cestui que
Iras'.
4. Whenever, however, the possession of the
trustee becomes adverse with notice to the cestui que
trust, the statute will commence to run.
5. Implied Trusts are not witlul/awn from the op- j
! oration of the statute of limitations.
6. If there is a settlement between the trustee and J
cestui que trust, in which the former pretends to ac-!
J count fully for his trust, and disclaims holding fur
ther the character of trustee, from that time his pos
session becomes adverse.
7. Such a settlement, however, must appear to he
in full, and to include all the liability of the trustee
j in that character. A settlement in relation to one
j portion of the trust fund, will not be sufficient to
constitute his possession adverse. Morgan for
1 Plaintiff in Error, Lyon for Defendant.
Colwell vs. Montgomery. From Sumter.—l.
1 The obligee of a Bond may go into Equity for the
purpose of reaching assets of the deceased obligor,
in the hands of a distributee, it being alledged that
the estate was fully administered.
*2. In Equity,the period of limitation fixedby law. j
by analogy will he adopted, so that twenty years
would be the only bar to such a Bill brought by the
obligee of a Bond. Brown for Plaintiff’ in Error, B.
j Hill for Defendant.
Tomlinson vs. Cox. FromSumt r.—l. A verbal
approval of a brief of the testimony, by a Judge, in
applications for anew trial, is not a compliance with
j the Gist Common Law Rule.
2. A Uriel of the testimony should contain an ah
stract of the oral testimony, ami a copy of the writ
j ten. B. Hill for Plaintiff in Error, Morgan for De
j fendant.
Griffin vs. Witherspoon. From Sumter. —l. A
new trial should not be granted on the ground of ex
cessive damages being given by the Jury, when the I
j Plaintiff voluntarily enters a remittiter for excess \
complained of. Brown for Plaintiff in Error.
Betiicnb vs. McCrary. From Sumter.—l.l
: Where the value of certain Bank Bills at a specified ;
time, is a matter in issue, the evidence of witnesses ;
is inadmissible, stating what they heard from parficu- j
!ar individuals.
2. The testimony should be confined to the par- j
ticular period, the value of such Bills fluctisating
very much in a short time.
3. The Court should not charge the Jury upon a !
hypothetical state of facts, of which there is no evi- i
! deuce.
4. An Indorser, in a suit against a. prior accommo
dation Indorser, can recover only so much as he him
self has paid, and no more.
5. If tiie Indorser, who has paid off’a note, again
puts it into circulation, the note being overdue, the
transferree takes it, subject to a 1 the equities exist
ing between the parties to the note. Brown for
Plaintiff in Error, 13. Hill for Defendant.
Bethuxe ys. Wilkins. From Muscogee.— l. An
injunction should not he granted to restrain a mere
trespass, where there is no allegation to show that
tiie injury arising therefrom would be irreparable, bv
a verdict for damages at law. 11. Holt for Plaintiff
in Error, Benningfijr Defendant.
S.nellixu vs. Parker. From Talbot.—l. The
lien of a judgment from which an appeal is entered,
binds only fron the judgment on the appeal, except
for the i urpose of preventing the alienation of prop
erty pending the appeal. In a contest with other
judgments, the lien dites only from the judgments
on the appeal. Smith for Plaintiff in Error, Ben
ning for Worrell for Defendant.
Wilson vs. Bkandon and Shawhokn. From
Talbot.—Where a witness deceives the party calling
him by failing to prove what he had sta'e I to the par
[ ty he would prove, and thereby induced the party not
to subpoena other witnesses to the same fact, anew
trial will be awarded. Smith for Plaintiff in Error,

FOR TIIE SOUTHERN SENTINEL.
TO MY MOTHER.
OYr thy distant hearthstone bending
When the shades of evening fall,
Does affection’s spirit, wending,
Waft to thee thy child's low call?
For the form that watched her slumbers,
For the tones of gentle love,
Which outpoured their soothing numbers
As if borne from founts above.
Fondly didst thou clasp the vision,
Which the bloom of youth awoke—
Clouds, and darkness, cold derision,
Never o’er that vision broke ;
But the Future in her chamber
Lodgeth woe and bitter care,
Which like Ivy tendrils, clamber,
Binding hearts to paie despair.
’Neath the stranger’s roof-tree kneeling,
Mother dear, 1 call on thee !
But the wind's lone music, stealing,
Gives no answer back to me.
And when night’s long shadows trailing,
People fast sad memory’s hall,
There thy voice with love ne’er failing,
Reigns supreme amid them all.
Years and sorrow swiftly follow,
.Light, the dreams of youth doth shed,
Fame and splendor coldly hollow,
Beams o’er hopes grown false and dead ;
But thy love, a quickening spirit,
Knows no chill, or slow decay—
of God, and doth inherit
Life from Heaven's eternal day.
Oh ! for thee my spirit wieldeth
All its strength and purest love—
Like the rose, whose perfume yieldeth
To its sun of light above.
And when stranger hands are closing
Eyes of thy own borrowed light,
In the spirit, world, reposing,
May our union know no night!
si. n. o.
The State Disgraced.—We mourn over
the Empire State, once the first in favor of the
Union—the foe to the unprincipled agitator; but
no\r submissive, tame, and servile—afraid to lift
up her feet and crush the reptiles which seek to
destroy her. An abolition convention was held
in Syracuse, Jan. 15, 1859. and not one of the
members was tarred and feathered. A black
rascal by the name of Douglass, the same fellow
who was on the Buffalo platform with Van Bit
ren, among other remarks was permitted to use
the following language :
“Let the Union be dissolved. I wish to see it
dissolved at once. Talk to me of the love of lib
er!y. of your Washingtons, Jeffersons, and Hen
rys, they were strangers to any just idea of lib
erty.”
It is to the disgrace of Syracuse that the citi
zens of that city could stand by and hear the
great father of his country insulted by this
wretch, and that no man was sufficiently manly
or patriotic to fell the scoundrel to the earth.
Yet we abuse the south, and call their people fa
natic. Why, no white man in this state would
dare to abuse the name of Washington in this
manner, yet a black man could do so with im
punity. What are we coming to I—N. Y. Sun
day Times.
A Cute Yankee.
Some time since a slab-sided mortal from down
east, who looked as if he had been passed
through a shingle-mill, called at a respectable
establishment in Philadelphia and inquired—
“ls this Burlap, Jean & Co.’s?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, then, I reckon I owe you a small bill ?”
“What name, sir ?”
‘•Zerubbabel Snooks.”
After overhauling the ledger, Zerubbabel was
assured that it could not be, as his name was not
on lhe books.
“A darn pretty way you keep ’em then. I
guess if a man owed me the matter of three hun
dred dollars I could tell the date without looking.
However, l don’t want to cheat you. i know
this is the place ; so just give me a receipt for
two hundred and twenty-five dollars and liltceii
cents.”
“Never mind the cents, Mr. Snooks ; here’s
a receipt tor the dollars.”
“Mighty careless you be of small matters.
One hundred cents make a dollar where I cum
from. Fifteen cents ain’t to be sneezed at.
i Good mornin’.”
M essrs. Burlap, Jean & Cos. were electrified
at the miraculous honesty of the down-easter,
i and would not let him go so leadily. They in
i sisted upon his purchasing a bill of goods, but
! Zerubbabel was unwilling. “It was darned
J hard to pay for ’em,” he said ; “he’d been all
winter raising that.” But to their great gratifi
cation they succeeded in securing a good cus
tomer, by selling him a bill of one thousand dol
lars. payable in six months.
When the time of payment had arrived, and
a notice of the demand was forwarded to the ad
dress of the down-easter, the letter remained un
answered. The account was sent to a limb of
the law resident in the town from which he bail
ed, and the next mail brought the agreeable in
telligence to Messrs. Burlap, Jean & Cos. that
no such man as Zerubbabel Snooks had ever
lived thej:c.
Fast.—This word is a great bother to foreigner*
(especially the Frenchmen) learning the English
language. The difficulty with such words as plough,
cough, dough, rough, &c. lies in getting at the proper
pronunciation only ; each having but a single mean
ing. The word fast admits of a triple signification—
hence the trouble.
We once heard a Frenchman upon the road—last
“Fast Day,” we believe—tell a boy to hold his horse
swift.
“Fast, you mean, don’t you, sir 1” interrogated the
lad.
Veil, fast, den ; mais, be gar, I no understand dis.”
“There goes a fast horse !” exclaimed a bystander
as streaked by a lively trotting nag.
“How is zat ?” nervously inquired the astonished
Frenchman ; rare is von horse fast, and he goes like
zunder all dc time ; zare is my horse—he is fast, too,
and he no move.”
“ThisisFast Day in reality, by the appearance
of the road,” said another.
*'Oh,l see den,” said Monsieur, “vydis is fast day ;
everything is fast —de horse zat goes is fast, ze horse
zat is tied is fast, and ze folks zat eat nothing and
eat it s*ow is fast. Be gar! vot a countrie!”
