COLI'MBIS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 0, lWft. Confirm. This bodv convened at the National Capital on Monday last. From the signs of the times, we infer that the great sectional issue will be allowed to sleep during the present session, and give place to questions connected with our foreign policy, which press upon the National Legislature for settlement. Prominent among these stand our Mexican re lations. What our Government should do in or der to enforce the adjustment of our claims, and to protect our western frontier agaiust the incur sions of the savage tribes from the districts of Sonora and Chihuahua, is a question involved in some difficulty. Our people on those distant borders are entitled t< adequate protection from the gov nmient: yet it is not easy to compre hend in what way this can be afforded, without violating the territory of Mexico. No permanent security from their depredations can be obtained, until the Savages-are dislodged and driven troin the country. With regard to our claims, it were sheer folly to exnect their liquidation in the ordi nary way. The bitter, deadly feuds between the ‘rival factions of Mexico have exhausted every le gitimate source of revenue, and arc now sustained by extraordinary levies and the most intolerable and grinding exactions from the people. Never theless, Congress is called upon to do something in the premises. Central American affairs arc by no means, in a satisfactory condition. Our great and growing interests on the Pacific absolutely demand the opening and protection of the Isthmus routes. — The operation of the Claytori-Bnlwer treaty has been prejudicial to the United States in that quar ter. Wo have adhered strictly and rigidly to its letter, while England has practically regarded it as so much waste paper. The policy which each nation has thought proper to pursue under its own interpretation of the treaty, has resulted in the steady growth of English influence on the Isthmus, and a constant decay of our own. The only remedy for this state of things, is the abroga tion of that treaty and a rigid enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. If, in addition thereto, Con gress would repeal the “Neutrality Laws,” our Central American relations would soon be upon ‘‘rising ground.” There is one question of domes tic policy, which will probably be forced upon the attention of Congress—the tariff. Advantage will be taken of the empty condition of the Treasury 1 to endeavor to secure an advance upon the present rate of duty on imports. The iron interest, we may anticipate, will be particularly active in this behalf. All parties at the South, we are glad to know, now regard this question in its proper as pect. In the Southern vocabulary, that insidious j and alluring* title “protection to Northern indus- ! try” is defined to mean “robbery of the South.” j The interest of . the north-west, too, is identical \ with that of the South, upou this question, and, j hence, we do not fear any material change of the present tariff. Thus we see that though we shall have a short session, the subjects which claim a discussion invests it with a very serious impor tance, Congressional. Washington, Dec. 7.— ln the Senate to-day Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, gave notice of his intention, at an early day, to introduce a bill au thorising a pension to be paid to the widow of Gen. Persifer F. Smith. Mr. Seward, of Now York, gave notice that he would bring forward a similar measure to pen sion the widow of Gen. Gaines. The House considered the resolution of the last session, for the abrogation of the Claytou-Bulwer treaty. A motion to lay the resolution on the table was negatived by a vote of ninety to nine ty-threo. Both houses have adjourned until Thursday. Monument to Gen. Quitman. —In the Miss issippi Senate on Monday last, a resolution was unanimously adopted, appropriating thirty thou, sand dollars to erect a monument to the late Gen. Quitman, at Natchez.

C.. of Calfornia, and Lieut. Mowry, the delegate to Congress from Avizonia. Lieut. Mowry left Gila City on the Ith Novem ber, at which time some hundred and fifty men were digging gold, the average yield being ten dollars per day, w ith the rudest implements. Ev ery part of toe country yet prospected in the vi cinity of the inyies proved auriferous, and the opinion was current among old miners that no richer surface diggings exist, eveu in the most fa vored portions of California. The mines are lo cated on tlm neutral ground between the Yuma and l'inos Indians, and thus no danger is appre hended from hostile tribes. A political meeting at Gila, November 4, pass ed resolutions endorsing the action of the con ventions held at Mesiln and Tuscon, and asking Congress tor a Territorial organization. The Son ofa Silver Mining Company were smel ting a thousand ounces a week. Several other mines were also being actively worked. Lieut. Mowry brings several rich specimens from the siiver mines, also about S3OO in gold from the Gila river diggings. Lieutenant M. computes the population of the Territory at 15,000, and gives glowing descrip tions of the beauty of the agricultural and gra zing resources of the country. The mail route from San Francisco to Texas is in fine order, with the exception of the central portion, which is in bad condition, owing to loose management and inferior stock. The first mail from Albuquerque to California is ordered from the 35th parallel, Arizona road, to Pinos, thence into California by the Butterfield route.J It was reported at Fort Smith that Lieuten ant Beale would go into winter quarters. The rumor that he had been attacked was disbe lieved. Mr. McKibbin reports that the Apachee In dians continued their depredations on the fron tier of Sonora and Arizona: seven out of a party of eight had been recently killed by a body of Mexicans, about forty miles from Fort Buchanan. The revolution in Sonora was in full progress. Gov. Pesqueira, had the least support of the rich meu and merchants of the province, on account ot his lailure to return a large sum of money bor rowed from them, according to promise. > Capt. Stone was progressing sucessfully with hissurvejsunder the recent contracts authorized by the government. Mr. I icklin, reports the Camanehes somewhat troublesome, although they were not organized in to bands of sufficiently large number*to occasion much alarm. Mr. Edwards, one of Lieut. Beale's party, who bad arrived at Fort Smith, reports the expedition all well in camp on the South side of the Cariadian river. Lieutenant Beale would proceed to Albu querque as soon as bis escort, whieh was a short distance behind, overtook him. The mail from Neosho to Albuquerque was at Beale's camp.— Colonel Ross was in the neighborhood, resting till Spring, before proceeding with the examina tion of the surveys towards the Mohave and Tejon. Synopsis of Department Reports. Washington, Dec. 6.—Secretary Cobb, of the Treasury Department says that the expenses of Government for the next fiscal year, will require $73,250.000 —including $15,500,000 for the army, $13,500,000 for the navy, and $210,000 for the or dinance department and fortifications. Post Office Department. — Secretary Brown, of the Post Office Department, recommends that the franking privilege be abolished, and the issue of stamps be substituted. He deprecates the transmission of heavy matter by mail—recom mends the adoption of uniform rates of postage at 5 cents—favors the establishment of a line of instil stesimers from San Francisco to Japan and China. He estimates the expenditures next year at $11,750,000, and the receipts at $11,000,000. Department of the Interior. — Secretary Thompson, of the Interior Department, states that the revenue received last year from the sales of public lands, amounting to $2,000,000. lie re commends that the government shall cover ail lands containing the precious metals, and sell all lands containing the baser metals. He advises the extension of the pre-emption laws over the Terri tory of Utah. Navy Department. —Secretary Toucey re { commends an increase in the number of office rs of ! the Navy, of all classes; and favors the purchase j of all the vessels lately chartered for the Para ; guay expedition. He also recommends the con struction of ten light draught steamers. War Department. —Secretary Floyd, of the War Department, gives it as his opinion, that the Nevajo and Camauche war just commenced, will prove to be fierce and bloody; but he states that it will be vigorously prosecuted. Ho recommends but lew’ new fortifications, and those only at ex posed points. His estimates for the next year are $3,000,000 less than the expenditures were last year. [From the St. Louis Republican Dec. I.J Condition of the Southern Pacific Railroad. At a recent meeting of the New Orleans subscri bers to the stock of the southern Pacific railroad, Col. Mills made some interesting and encouraging statement concerning the condition and prospects of this road. From his statement we learn that the parties who had forced the sale of the road in Texas had been constituted by public opinion in Harrison county, and the country generally, to agree to a compromise, the basis of which had been proposed by Dr. Fowlkes. The terms were that a committee of five gentlemen should be ap pointed to lay down the conditions of the compro mise, and both parties entered into bonds of $500,000 to abide by the decision of the commit tee. The five gentlemen were selected on account of their well-known intelligence and integrity, and there could be no question that they would do their duty in good faith to all parties. Their award had already been published. Its most im portant feature was that the stockholders should provide for the payment of the amounts duo to the company, which had forced the sale, in three, five and seven months. The amount of claims made by the selling company was $327,000, but he had no doubt the committee would reduce the total amount of their claims to $200,000. There were some debts due by the company not inclu ded, but they did not amount to much. He thought that the meeting, on examining the state of the affairs of the undertaking, would be satis fied that they were in a very wholesome condition, notwithstanding the manner in whieh they had been mismanaged. The company has twenty-five miles of road completed and in running order,at cost of $22,000 per mile, worth therefore, $550,000; of land accru ing they have 256,000 acres, which, at the low es timate of $5 per acre, will produce $1,080,000, ma king a total of $1,630,000. Deducting $400,000 for the indebtness of the company, far above the mark, as well as could be ascertained, would leave $1,230,000 of unincumbered assets. On the com pletion of fifty miles, at a corresponding cost, ma king the amount of its value $1,100,000, there will be U 12,000 acres of laurl uooruing, whieh, tit tne same rate, will be worth $2,560,000, and the State loan of 300,000 making the total of the assets then $3,960,000. Tbi~ would be an ample basis on whieh to build the next fifty miles at a cost of sl,- 000,00(1 ; amlin a like, or ralier in a much great er. ratio, the means of the company will be aug mented a■< the work progresses. Outlie comple tion of the road to the Rio Grande, a distance of 700 miles, at a cost of $20,000 per mile, it would represent assets to the value of $14,000,000: the land accruing, 7,168.000 acres, at the very low av erage of $7,50, would represent $53,760,000 ; and the cost of building the road being paid there would be assets to the amount of $39,700,000 in the posession of the company, and one of the best paying roads in the world. The road extended to the Pacific, a distance of 800 miles front El Pa so. at a cost of $30,000 per mile, would still leave the company $15,000,000 of assets; and 1,500 miles of road completed, the annual revenue from a year for repairs he had roughly estimated that $12,500,000 or which allowing $3,000,000 in gross ; namely from 150,000 travel ers, which is fewer than those who now cross the continent, at S7O each, $10*500.000; from freight, $3,000,000 ; from transportation of mails, troops, subsistence, and material of war, $2,000,000. J udge Jackson’s Speech. The Washingto Union of Friday last contains Judge Jackson's Milledgeville speech. Com menting on the speaker's allusion to Mr. Buchan an the editor says— The tribute which Judge Jackson pays to Mr. Buchanan is as just as it is eloquent ; and is the more valuable as coming from one whose reigna tion of the position ho held abroad was doubtless made in deference to a rule laid down by the Pres ident in regard to his foreign appointments— a rule which many of our diplomats would be apt to feel as operating harshly in their cases. The tribute of Judge J. is that of one who has given up and is not asking office ; of one who has been removed from those excitements of American pol ities which so prejudice the judgment and jaun dice the vision of resident citizens ; and who, scan ning the conduct of our present administration from a European stand-point, sees only with the eyes and speaks only with the feelings of a pa triot. New Construction- of Rails for Railways. —An invention has been brought forward in Lon don, which has for its object the construction of rails for railways in such a manner as to secure the necessary strength with a less weight of metal than is at present required, or employed. The greatest strain to which a railway rail is subject ed beiug in a direction obliquely downward ’ and outward, it has long been a desideratum to con trive a form of rail that, with the necessary breadth of top and bottom, should contain along the con necting portion or web a continuous substance of metal in the line of the greatest strain. These requisites have been sought to be combined in th,e forms familiarly known as she I or II rail, and in verted T rail, in which a solid continuity of sub stance is presented in the line of greatest strain ; both of these rails, however, contain much metal in the head that is unnecessary and useless, and which is dispensed with in this new invention, which consists iu forming an inverted T rail with an aperture of hollow space extending lengthwise through the thick upper portion of the rail. It is said to combine great strength and durability. Interesting to the Catholic Church.— The •'punish Government has laid before the Cortes a i • to J storing to the clergy and the church tlieiv iornier possessions. Not only the propertv oi the secular clergy, lost by tlie revolution of 1805, is probably to be returned, but also that of foments, vmcli had been suppressed in former 3 ears: and indemnification promised for all that had already bee.* sold in accordance with the law of 1855. The total sum amounted to more than ,3,006,000,000 reals, or about one hundred and fifty millions dollars. A Beautiful Sketch. - We select the following beautiful picture from a recently published address of Richard V. Cook, Esq., of Columbus, Texas, on the Education and Influence of Wonriu.. It will touch the heart ofthe reader. Seldom have we seen so many gems of thought and pearls of feeling so beautifully blend ed, or the idea of woman’s mission so well and truthfully expressed: ”1 fancy a young man just emerging from the bright elysium of youth, and commencing the bright journey of life. Honest, noble and gifted —the broad world to his warm hopes is the future scene of affluence, fame and happiness. Under his active energies, business prospers, and as a consequence, friends come about him. Ere long he meets a sensible and amiable girl, who wins his heart, and loves and trusts him in return. He doesn’t stop to ask what the world will say about the match in ease he marries her. Not he. The World is kicked out of doors, and the man deter mines to be the architect of his own happiness.— He doesn’t stop to inquire whether the girl’s father is rich in the lands, and slaves and coin ; but he marries her forthat most honest and phi losophic of all reasons—because he loves her ! He builds bis home in some quiet spot where green trees wave their summer glories, and where bright sunbeams fall. Here is the Mecca of bis heart, towards which he turns with more than Eastern adoration. Here be is a green island in the sea of life, where rude winds never assail, and storms never come. Here, from the cares and troubles of existence, he finds solace in the society of her who is gentle without weakness, find sensi ble without vanity. Friends may betray him, and foes may oppress; but when towards home his weary footseps turn, and there beams upon him golden smiles of welcome, the clouds lift from his soul —the bruised heart is restored, and the strong man made whole. I see the mau fall into adversi ty. Creditors seize his property, poverty stares him in the face and he is avoided on ail hands as a ruined bankrupt. When he sees all gone— frinds, credit and property —grief-stricken and penniless, he seeks his humble home. Now does the wife desert him too ? Nay, verily! When tiie world abandons and persecutes the man, she draws closer to his -due, and her affection is all the warmer because i.o evil days have come upon him. The mor : excellencies of her soul rise su perior to the di asters of fortune. And when she sees the man sit mournful and disconsolate, like Themistocles by the Household Gods of Admethus hers is the task to comfort and console. She re minds him that misfortune has oft overtaken the wisest and the best; that all is never lost while health and hope survive; that she still is near to love, to help and to encourage him. The man listens, his courage rallies, and the shadows flee from his heart; tinned once more, he enters the arena of life. Industry and energy restore him to competency; fortune smiles upon him, friends return, and— ‘Joy mounts exulting on triumphant wings.” Again the scone shifts. I see the man stretched weak and wasted on a bed of sickness. The anxious wife anticipates every want and necessity. Softly her foot falls upon the carpet, and gently her hand presses the fervid brow of the sufferer. Though the pale face gives evidence of her own weariness and suffering, yet through the long watches of each returning night, her vigils are kept besides the loved one's couch. At last dis ease beleaguers the fortress of life, and the physi cian solemnly warns his patient that death is ap proaching. He feels it too, and the last words of love and trust are addressed to her who is weep ing besides his dying bed. And, in truth, the last hour hath come. I imagine it is a fit time to de part; forthe golden sun himself has died upon the evening’s fair horizon, and rosy clouds bear him to his grave behind the western hills ! Around the couch of the dying man, weeping friends and landsmen stand; while the minister slowly reads the words of promise ; “I am the Resurrection and the Life saith the Lord ; he that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoeverliveth and believeth in me, shall never die.” Slowly the clock marks the passing moments, and silently the sick man’s life is ebbing away. Slowly the cold waters are rolling through the gateways of life. And now, as the death damp is op tlie victim's brow and the heart throbs its last pulsations, the glazed eye opens and turns in one full, farewell glance of affection upon the trembling woopr who benas over him, and ere the spirit departs forever, the angels hear the pale wife whisper—“l’ll meet thee—l’ll meet thee in heaven J” The Progress of Population in the United States. We republish from the Albany Atlas and Argus a suggestive article on the progress of population in this country aud its effect upon our political system. It is not to be disguised that the great West and Southwest, which now constitute what may be termed the garden of the States, in the earlier history of the government have been trea ted rather as minors and dependants than as stal wart and powerful adults. This was perfectly natural; because it is scarcely a quarter of a cen tury since the whole Plain of the Lakes and the Valleys of the Mississippi and Missouri were vir gin forests and prairies. Illinois, which now claims the fourth rank in the household, twenty years ago was a mere wilderness. So were Indi ana, Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa, Minnesota, and Missouri. These States had not entered the lists as producers ; they had no commerce except that which was embraced in the transportation of emi grants and their effects. Cleveland, Detroit, Chi cago. Milwaukie, and St. Louis were little fron tier villages, with high-sounding city names and enormous expectations, which no sane man thought would be realized. Now they are power ful municipalities, with elaborate systjpas of police and government, and the marts of a great com merce based upon the productions of the States in which they are situated, and linked together by a net-work of roads and canals, which have literally removed all the obstacles of distance, and equalized the value of property throughout the whole interior of the country.’ The American people have witnessed these wonderful events of their recent history without realizing their effects upon .our political system—without regarding them as a controlling power in the legislation of the country, able to dictate measures of policy to the government. Those who reflect upon public affairs will be able to see, at a glance,* the direc tion of empire, in this country. They will see it in the complete works of improvement in the ’West i constructed and conducted by individual enter prise—by increasing and rapidly-extending popu lation over the interior country—in the compara tive decline of the East and augmentation of the West in the national legislature, and in the con trol which the latter are soon destined to exert upon the general industry and commerce of the whole Union. ihe recent measures adopted by the government to open inter-continental highways between the river settlements and the Pacific States, will soon present anew phase of our affairs which will com mand the attention of statesmen and philosophers. The immense resources of the interior, which could only be reached and developed by organized government, arc now brought within the scope of our emigrant people. What has been done in the lake and river States remains to be done on the eastern and western slopes of the mountains. The current of population which, less than fortv years ago. invaded and subdued western New York and Ohio, and has since covered Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, lowa, Minnesota. Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska, is still moving ! on with accelerated steps to the West and South- ! west. It is neither desirable nor possible to check this current or turn it aside. It now commands, in connection with the South-western regions of | the Union, an empire of production and a prosper- j ity greater than the world has ever before seen; and its industry- and wealth constitute, after all, j the vital power which animates the business of the ‘ Atlantic States. Our industrial system can never be said to be j complete till all the fountains of wealth which lie j hidden in the earth shall have been developed. Ibis we apprehend, should be a rule to guide pol iticians and statesmen. As we have no power to stop the wheels of progress, and as every advance in the way ot unfolding our resources has added wealth and prosperity to the nation, the lesson is too complete to be overlooked or neglected. The legislation of the country should be in harmony with its interests and its evident destiny.— WasA fon Union, Telegraphic. RETORTED FOR THF. COHJMBIJS TIMES ‘ OF THE CITY OF WASHINGTON. Avgcsta, Dec. 8. —The Steamship City of Washington arrived oft’ Cape Race thie after noon. Liverpool Cotton Markex, —Sales of three days 19.000 bales, of which Speculators took 1,000 and Exporteas 2,000 bales, leaving 16,000 bales to the trade. Market generally dull and unchanged. Manchester advices wvre savorable. Market quiet but steady. Consols 98)4 to 98%. Compliment to Judge Shorter. We learn from the Talladega Watehtower, that the bar complimented Judge Shorter with an im promptu supper at that place, where court was then in session, on Thanksgiving night. Among the guests were Judge Bierce, of Ohio, and Mr. Duval of Montgomery, the State Superintendent of education, judge Shorter responded to a sen timent complimentary to the Judiciary of Ala bama. in bis usual happy manner, and concluded by proposing, “The Talladega Bar, may its fu ture success be as glorious as its past attainments. ” Hon. J. L. M. Curry, the representative of the Talladega District in Congress, was toasted and made a speech. “The chairman of the committee on Federal Relations” brought out Gen. James B. Martin, who occupied that position in the last Legislature, and who thought “the time for reso lutions had passed, and that the hour fur action had come.” We venture to say that a report more true, appropriate and concise never emanated from any committee, and we hope our federal re lations will take it as notice of our intention to quit, on the election of a Black Republican presi dent, if not sooner. Altogether, the supper must have been a genial and delightful affair, not only bestowing a well merited compliment upon an ex cellent Judge, but constituting one of those ‘hap py reunions/ that help to make up the poetry of life. Certainly ho must be more or less than man who can read the graphic and glowing account of the Watch tower’s correspondent', without regret ting that this is all that fate permitted him to see of so agreeable an entertainment. —Eufaula Spirit of the South. Excavations from the Ruins of Cartiiage. —A private letter received in this city from Tu nis, Algiers, states that on the 20th of October, 11. B. M. steamer Supply arrived at that port from Malta, for the purpose of taking on board forty-five cases, containing Mosaic and Punic inscriptions, which were taken from the ruins of Carthage. Some of the Mosaics are represented as being quite beautiful and of large fsiste—one piece measuring fifteen feet by six feet. The ca ses generally measure about eight feet square.— Besides the inscriptions several pieces of statuary and architecture, were also put on the Supply.— These articles are to be taken to London and pla ced in the Museum there.. Both the English gov ernment and people seem to take great interest in the excavation of these ruins, and the former has been liberal in supplying money for the purpose. Washington Star. The Vintage. —The following letter (says the Washington Union, from an extensive owner of vine-yards in France to an English resident in Pans,) contains some interesting observations on the vintage of the present year: —In the depart ments in which the -renowned sorts of wine are produced, the wines will be equal to what we call vine dc la comete —a sacramental phrase for food wines, ever since the year 18] 1, when a comet caused great feny to feeble-minded people. In the departments in which, like that of the Her uult, cheap wines arc produced, the abundance is extraordinary and the quality good. There have been some bunches of grapes, rare it is true, 7 cen timetres, (234 feet long.) In some vineyards 400 hectolitres (8,800 gallons) of wine per liectar (234 acres) have been obtained. Certain owners ha ve made 20,000 hectolitres; others 25.000 : and there are even some wuo have obtained 35,000. Now you know that the consumption of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is about 35,000 hectolitres. The selling price of wine, to be taken at the owner's, (the purchaser finding his own casks,) has fallen as low as 2f. the hectolitre - 9 centimes the gallon. That is exceptional, it is true; but for 4 cents a gallon you may have as much wine as you like. BHETJMATISM. A ease of three mouths standing cured. George W. Henderson, of Pittsburgh, says : “After suffering for throe months with Rheuma tim, a part of the time so severely as to confine me to my bed, I have been entirely cured by using Ban*have*s Holland Bitters. I have had one at tack since, but found almost instantaneous relief in the same medicine. It is in my opinion, a sure remedy for Rheumatism.” See Advertisement.
