COLUMBUS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30. ISSS. me Pension Bill. The Pension bill has passed the Ilonse of Rep resentatives in'Congress, and if it is not defeated in the Senate, will be the law of the land. The large majority itrcceived, too, will take the cem* try by surprise, and alarm those who feel an in terest in an occnomical administration of the Government. We cannot conceive how a bil giving away, as a mere gratuity, $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 out of the Treasury, should have pass ed the lower branch of Congress. It may be that all the protectionists voted for it to raise the tarn *—it may be that many voted for it, whose.syim>a thies for the poor soldier made them liberal with the people’s money and the people's means—it may be that they were actuated by the purest and most exalted motives. Butaside from the honesty of their intentions, it is a great outrage to draw from the Treasury so enormous ariiount of money, as a reward for the soldier’s services in the wav of ISI2, when they were regularly paid by the government, and when tiMßlv deed* are treasured up in the hearts oi tUeii served for sixty days or were engaged in battle in the war of 1812, or in any war or battle fought by the United States with the Indians previous to or during that war. Its provisions extend to both the army, and navy, and if the soldiers or sailors entitled totho pension are not living, the widow is entitled to the same benefits. The scale of the proposed pensions is as follows : To those who have served 12 months or more, $96 per annum; 5 months or more, $75; 3 months or more than fit) days, SSO. Thus it will be seen that soldiers who enlisted for the period of three months or more than sixty days—who never smelt the smoke of battle—who never were disabled, Imt quartered, perhaps, in some old barracks, are to be paid a good sum every year since the year 1812. A most prepos terous idea! Wa humbly submit that it would be more in accordance with justice to pay the citi zens of our city, whose serv ices were called into requisition to protect their tire-sides from the depredations of the Indians in 18;G—who stood guard at the bridge when they expected a strug gle as fierce as that at Lodi—who were absent for weeks on scouting expeditions surrounded by a cunning atul dangerous foe, back rations from period that o the present time. They lost little blood it is true, but the fright that many sustain ed during those fearful times is worth a pension, and they ought to receive it, if the soldiers of 1812 arc to be paid for marching in the service and marching out again after 00 days. Think of it, reader, fifteen millions of dollars for these sol diers! Why not include those that, served in Mexico? They endured a scorching snn—a dreadful disease, and fought gallantly? Why discriminate, 9 In the one case, the government would pay near SIOO a year since 1840 ; in the other, they pay that sum since 3SI 2. It is useless to say more about the jffiier osity of our Congressmen. We trust that the Senate will defeat thi3 bill.— It will never do to pass it. The people will never be satisfied with appeals to their sympathy or their loveofcountry when the discrimination is so un just, aud when the gratuity is out of their own earnings, anti when they know as well as their Congressmen, that the great end and aim of gov ernment is to make laws and not lavish away their money. We trust that we are not understood as depreciating the services of the soldiers of 1812 ? By no moans. We applaud their gallant deeds aud will keep green in our hearts their memory, but we do oppose this bill granting them and their widows fifteen million* of dollars, as most preposterous and wicked. • News from New Mexico. St. Louis, Dee. 24. 1858. The New Mexican mail, with Canta Fc dates of the 28th ult., reached Independence this morning. Col. McLean is among the passengers. The mail was detained by deep snow.

James Gadsden It is with deep emotion that we announce the death of that useful and honored citizen of South Carolina, Gen. James Gadsden. Throughout an activo life, which has been prolonged to the pslamist s limit, Gen. Gadsden has been promi nent in the history of the State and the confed eracy, and has distinguished himself as a civilian, a warrior and a diplomatist. In politics Gen. Gadsden was a true Democratic Republican of the Calhoun school, a Nullitier in ’32 and a Se cessionist in ’SO. Ho has ever been man of large influence and character—bold, independent, activo and of great public spirit. South Carolina mourns to-day Jot one of her most brilliant and worthy sons.— Char. Mercury. Extraordinary Sale of Negroes. One of the most extraordinary sale of slaves— not so much on account of their number as the prices obtained for them, although even the num ber was very large—was made at public auction at the village ot Autaugaville during four da vs of last week. Ono hundred and seventy slaves, be longing to the estate of Richard Morton, were sold on twelve months time with interest and, for the enormous sum of one hundred and sixty thousand dollars being an average of $941 and “a fraction over. In the large number composing the lot were old and young, halt and lame, and one was deaf and dumb. A girl aged 14, black and a field b ™"£ht $1935. A young fellow was bid off lor S-H66.

From the Tribune. From Washington. Washington, Dec. 22,1858. —A sharp colloquy, in which high words tvere used on both sides, oc curred to-day, during the secret session, between Senator Toombs of Georgia and Mallory of Flori da. The dispute was on the subject of naval nominations. The first appropriation bill of the session passed to-dav. It was for the Military Academy. Mr. Stanton of Ohio, showed that, although so much had been said about tbe frugality of the Ways and Means Committee in retrenching the expen ditures, this bill appropriated $50,000 more than the estimates of the Administration, and $15,000 more than was done last year. Mr. Morris of Illinois, a Douglas man, attack ed the Administration with considerable vigor to day. A placard in the window of a patent medicine vender in the Rue Saint Honore. Paris, reads as follows: “The public are requested not to mistake this shop for that of another quack just opposite.” Senator Douglas and family are expected to arrive in this city on Monday ovoning or Tuesday morning next, in the Empire City, from Havana. “Gcn.S am Houston intends, in a speech on the floor of the Senate, at an early day, to deeltire that he has no aspirations tor the Presidency, and would accept under no circumstances, says a Washington letter. —Boston Post. That is a wise conclusion, —only the General need not trouble himself to announce it in the Senate. We have under consideration the same question for ourselves ; and when we arrive at a conclusion, may feel called upon to nnuoucc it to the public. There are many others who mav safely proclaim their determination not to be for ced into the Presidential office. It is only a plague and a perplexity. —General of Commerce l “Cutting ’em all Around.” — A few days be fore the occurrence of his recent street fracas, Mr. Win. Montgomery, of Pennsylvania, was in vited by the Secretary of the Interior, with the rest of tho Committee on Public Lands, to dine, and returned answer, in writing, that he would hold no social intercourse with him (Secretary Thompson) until he removed a certain clerk in the Interior Department. This is indeed a funny world in which we all live. Tur.
