MORNING NEWS. BY JOHN 1. COOPER. T. THOMPSON, (DITOR terms; DAILY PAPER $1 00 | TRI-WEEKLY $2 00 All Now Advertisements appear in both papers. I The Senate and the Ladies.—One mark ed feature of the present session of Congress has been, end is, tho assiduous ultendaneo of tUo non-voting portion of the community ; the members of society who aro supposed to take ho iqterest or share io politieul discussions, be cause thfoy exerc iso no direct or ostensible in fluence on political arrangements. Every nar rator or doscriber of events at Washington, tho past winter, bos remurked upon the fidelity of the ladies in resorting to the Senato Chamber; and tho fact has even elicited remark from dis tinguished Senutors, which has figured in the published reports of tho Senate proceedings. The phenomenon, thorefora, comes legiti mately within the range of public observation ; mid there is propriety in discussion of its mean ing and its consequences. Wo givo place, ac cordingly, to a significant essay on the subject, from the Richmond Republican: A Beautiful Spectacle.—Tho Washington correspondent of tho Boston Courier says that Mr. Clay, while “being delivered’’of his Inst great speech, had ri “coponot of laurels over and around his head,’’ and lhat ho was “imbedded in a nest of the fair sex." “No Senator could get across the ehnmber without thrusting his head under a bonnet." This is really a most captivating picture; and one which animates us never to despair of the Republic. Tho Indies are, to a man, the en emies of disunion. We do not wish to inti mate that they are more in favor of union than the other sex—we do not think they are; but when the knot is tied, they are infinitely more true and loyal. They aro more patient, more kind, moro enduring than man. When St. Raul described chanty, lie drew tho picture of a good woman yoked to a bad husband. “Char ity sufforteh long and is kind; Charity beareth ull things, believeth all things, hopetii all things, endureth all things." But we are wandering from our text, which was the American Senate, and tho dames and damsels congregated therein. Some of our gotempftlrurics, led on by Sena tor Pearce of Maryland, are in favor of ex cluding these fair creatures front the Senate, on the ground that they divert tho attention of Senators from their proper duties, and tempt them to become too discursive and flighty in thoir harangues. Unfortunately, however, most of out public men speak for Buncombe, nt any rate, so that there is no probability of making their oratory more diflbse than it is at present. • In the existing temper of Congress, the presence of tho ladies Will havo a beneficial eflect. It wdl sooth the irritated nerves of tho old gen tlemen in the Senate, and load thoir thoughts from the contemplation of annoying subjects- to the days of their youth, when they went “a courting," and rumbled along green lanes and uinid beautiful flower gardens, in company with a neat little cottage bonnet, a pair of very be witching eyes, and a very small foot oncased in a fascinating gaiter boot, like that which enp- (K-ated tho juvenile) Winkle. “Alt,” thinks some old Senator, as lie yields to these reflec tions and rubs his withered brow, “time has made sad changes since that hour. Can yonder •Lit .woman be the spirit of my youthful droarns 1 Can this wbrmeaten heart and shrunken shank belong to the gay stripling who wooed .and won her? Can I be myself!” This seems a very absurd inquiry; yet from every deep wrinkle, from every gray,, hair, fyoni every trembling nerve; from every feeble pulsation of tho aged bosom, a melancholy voice answers, NO. Our Senator has become philosophic, plii- lnnthwtpic, even rdmantic. His icy old soul is rapidly thawing under tho bland and Spring like rays of youth and beuuty. If he rises to make a few remarks, it is done in tho courtly manner of tho be-wigged, he queued ond be- powdered statesman of two centuries ago. Ho cannot be rude, discourteous or vulgar in tho presence of woman. The novels which he read when he was a boy represented tho brnvost 'knights «S most gentlo, most deferential to the fair sox. What a transformation bus been wrought in this eminent public functionary! It is like that effected upon Halbert Glendinning liy the mysterious Ladv of Aven'd. An hour stneo ho Was turbulent in manner, coarse in speech, imperious, provoking a personal con troversy with every,Word ; ntnv he is a model of quiet dignity, regarding himself with calm selt-rospocl, and n.it to booutdono even by Sir 1‘iercio Shafton in polished courtesy. * Our Senator, exhausted with his effort, sits down tfnd wipes his brow. Tho ladies look with rcspoct and udmiratio!) upon tho kind and intelligent countenance of tho good old man. These reverential glances increase the benignity and tenderness of his spirit. Instead of the fire-eater that ho was but a short time a- go, ho becomes in his own imagination a sort of patriarch, with flocks and heards, and quite a number of wives. Ho foels softened, benev olent, and even loving. He wonders that pooplein this world ever quarrel, and, most of all, that those bound together in matrimony ev er fall out with each other. His mind recurs with great sensibility to the married relation. A man and his wife are bound together, ho ru minates, for better for worse. Destiny has made them one, and to “bear and forbear” is their highest wisdom as well as duty.—What God hath joined together, let not man put u- BUiider.” Verily the presence of women has worked a miracle. It has struck the rocky heart of an old politician, and Io ! St,rearns of penitence, poetry and piety gush forth. But her influence does not stop here; By no means. The venerable convert is not only pi ous, penitent and poetical,but ho turns his new acquisitions- to a practical purpose. Women remind him,of marriage—ntorriugo of the Un- ion of thosp mighty sovereignties, one of which ho represents iu the- Senate, and whoso slave controversy now absorbs the attention of all public men. . He thinks of those great states which pledged thoii youthfal vows to each oth er at Bunker Hill and Yorktown ; whoso ear ly affection was purified and made more fervid by the fires of common sorrows, but the glories of whose bright day of wedlock have cast into the shade the memories of.former sufferings, pile sees them alienated, distrustful, almost pre pared to. dissolve the matrimonial bonds, and pursue each a seporate path through life. Tho thojghtri* loo much for our b*movgkut Senu- oi'fptfToby, when ho swore ier should not. die, tho old gentleman vows that this in on shall not be dissolved. lie Will interpose; ho will offer » compromise; he will speak soothingly to every body around; ho will make any sacri fices ; yea, if there bo no one 61so to pay the Curtius, he will throw himself, with his ivory- headed cane, his broad-brimmed lint, his enpa- cious umbrella, into the yawning abyss. Ho is an old man. He 1m* given to ambition t ie kernel. It is not too much to givo his countiy the shell. Ho is the “last leaf upon the tine. What matter though ho yield himself now o the breeze! A few more blasts, nt any in e, must simp him from the withered stem, am ncml him down that arrowy tide of tune w nc i knows no return. , r . Admit tiro women, by nil mean* • . tho groat civilizers of tlm ngc- They enter the political arena, and the wild beasts of party crouch in tendernoss and awe at then foot. They soften and humanize even ferocious fanatics, making the... decent, gentle accessi ble to reason. Admit them, and their veiy presence will banish harshness, acrimony and estrangement, Grim old greybeards, who re present inflexible old sovereignties, will learn to temper thoir fierce valor with a kindly ond for giving spirit. And states, once joined together by hooks of steel, but almost parted now, will return to a sisterly embruce r and clasping hand in hand exclaim, in tho language of loyalty and love that once fell from the lips of a noble woman, “Whither thou goest l will go; and where thou lodgest I will lodge ; thy people slmll be my people, and thy God mv God. Whero thou dicst will I die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but doath part thee and mo.” Another writer attributes to the ladies who attend the chambers of the Capitol very differ ent motives from those of humanizing the boor- gnrdens of Congress. Ho says: Tho greut object to be achieved in Wash ington, hy young ladies, is to get a husband. They Hvq here, und come here, for no other purpose. A young lady who has ‘spoons’ can take her pick among the male sex who are un married. But, a very lnrgo portion of the young ladies one meets with in Washington, nro us poor ns church mice. If they have beauty, they aim high. When they first camo out, they set their caps for a secreturv or se nator. The second session, they jwould take any decent member of Congress. The third vear, they nro somewhat discouraged, and arc willing to throw their charms into the arms of the army or navy. The font th year, they will consent to marry a twelve hundred, or even a thousand dollar clerk. After that, they.are en tirely dependent, for a matrimonial offer, upon outside strangers. A visit to the cupitol ar.d a winter in Washington, aro of immense survice to many sweet girls front country portions of the different States. They learn a lesson that lasls them for life.

Carlyle’s New Literary Enterprise.- Mr. Carlyle has ugain appeared before tho En glish public in the first of a series of papers, which, under the ominous name of “Lutter Day Pamphlets," are to appear monthly. He takes ns his subject “Tho Present Time,” which ho choractorises as “days of endless calamity, disruption, dislocation, confusion worse con founded,” and declares his persuasion that if they bo not also days of endless hope, “then they are days of utter despair.” Tho revolutionary uttompts of past years are examined and condemned as worthless—in capable of effecting any amelioration of the condition of mankind. At Democracy he launches many scathing bolts: universal suf frage, vote by bullet, and all tho several parts that go to make up the perfect machine of re presentative governments, “can answer no oth er end than to make the phantasm-governors and governed go harmoniously together to perdition." America is thus whimsically char acterised : “Cease to brag to mo of America, and its model institutions and constitutions. To men in their sleep there is nothing granted in this world : nothing, or as good as nothing, to men that sit idly caucusing and ballot-boxing on the graves of their heroic ancestors, saying, ‘It is well, it is well!’ Corn and bucon are granted : not a very sublime boon, on such condition ; a boon moreover which, on such conditions, can not last! No! America too will have to strain its energies in quite another fashion than this ; to crack its sinews, and all but break its heart, as tho test of us hnve had to do, in thousandfold wrestle with the Pythons and mud-demons be fore it cart become a habitation for the gold.

I was sitii tl <- I directly above it when it first made its appoa r . ance. We had just taken on board about r ,n cords pine wood, and my opinion is, that in] r than three minutes from thejtime it was f„., t discovered, the cabin was an entire sheet of flame. There were about 120 souls on the boat at the time, and I have not seen more than 50 persons since I came ashore. As Soon as the fire was discovered, tho pilots steered her towards the slime, which she reached be fore her wheel ropes burnt off. She ran a . shore in a very dense cane brake, her bow otl and her stern standing out. in the river. Tho,,' who were on the front pnrt of the boat gotiwtiorc und were but few—the greater purt of tho' passengers rati to tho stern of the boat to get in the yawl, but the deck hands nnd fireman had taken possession of it, and had left the boat to go forward wa9 now impossible as tin boat was one sheet of fire and there was great dan ger of the cabin’s falling on them. A« tho fire spread aft, the scene was terrible: ladles and children had gathered in the extreme,after psu of the boat, and their cries for help can n e , tr be erased from my memory. If the yallhad been brought back, they might all havo been saved ; but the deck bands who had taken it, ran it ashore in the cane brake, and beforethii Captain nnd his brother, the 1st mate, could return with it to the burning wreck, they were nil burned or droWned without on exception. The Coptnin did all he could to rescuo the po. sengers, nnd he did succeed in taking tliuse off who were on the rudder, Those who were fortunate enough to get ashore, were tnken u> the house of Mr. Mark H.

Several were sadly burned, bat Dr. Caldwell, of C.nnden„ wns among the passen gers, and he did nil iu his power to alleviate their condition although ho wns severely in- jured by the fire. The Captain lmd been pushing tlio boat ia order to meet the cars on Wednesday. There were two California merchants who had just returned, having with them nearly $500,000 i gold, which I think will he lost, as the boat lias this morning floated off in deep water and sunk There was also $16,000 in California dust in the safe, and I think the actual loss is not far from $600,000. The captain did all ia hi, power, but no earthly power could have don# any thing under the circumstances. Had the cane brake taken fire, all who had got ashore and m tlrerbrake would have been burnt. I got considerably bruised internally, and otto of nty hands is slightly burnt but I am thank ful that it is no worse. Tho safety-valve rope, burnt oft', or in nil probability the boilers vould have bursted, the fire having molted the joints of the steam pipes, and a groat many persons, supposing tho boilers were bursting jumped into tho river and were drowned.

The following recapitulate of the contents of the communication, says the editor, may tend to partially accomplish the object in view, amt perhaps lead to tho unravelling of this terrible mystery. The document commences by stating that “the friends of tho unfortunate lady who disap peared at the falls of Niugaia, on the night of the 26th Nov. last, and who was supposed tohart committed suicide, have, for more than three months beer, in painful uncertainty, and in still niorepniniul apprehension, in regard to her real - fate. They havo further ascertained, with precision, that a young man calling himself Henry C- Baker, said to bo from Winchester- Va., was the person who was at tho Jails el Niagara before the arrival of the lady in c t uf!
