Washington, August 8. The Senate was ehiefiy occupied tn-dny, in the dis cussion of Mr. Pkarck’s hill, and the various amend- inenta submitted by Mr. Ewing ami Mr. Dayton.— The first of there amendments proposed to adopt nearly tbo tame line propored in the Otnnibus bill tile differ* nee being against Texas. Tin- amendment oi Mr, Dayton, modestly proposed that the public lands of 'Texas should he relfaei d to the U. States, until the ten millions were received by the U. Stares, when the land remaining should revert to Texas. In other words lie proposed to adopt the policy of Billy Termination, whoso standing offer was “ ten bushels of potatoes, and dig ’em out of your own patch." * The amendments were rejected by very decided rotes. In the House, thn committee on the memorial of Miss T, I, Dix, reported a bill granting 10.000 acres of land to be divided among the several Stutes for the relief and support of the indigent insane. After some unimportant bu.-iiiePs the appropriation billwns taken tip, when Mr. BaoWNof Mils., add re-*, fid the Hcuso for an hour again.t the jyriitiona as sumed in the President’s menage in regard to the boundary queetim. He characterised the message as the most extraordinary which emnnnted from an American President. He said the kite which bad ac cidentally fallen into the eagle’s nest had threatened a sovereign State with the nrmeol'thr Federal Union, because such a State had attempted to exercise the rights whigh belonged to her by the provisions ot the treaty between Tbxbb and tile United States. He quoted the resolution admitting Tc-xns into the Un on, to show that, by such act of admission, the claims of Texas to 42 degrees north were recognised. The committee rose and the House adjourned.

QRKA T EXCITEMENT W WASHING TON. Tlie Washington correspondent gives the following particulars of the late attempt in Washington city, to nhduct the slavesof Messrs Stephens and Tombs. It affords a most striking illustration of the applica tion of the non intervention principle, as understood by the ulioiitioiilsts. JVc a-k what Bill.- of Compro mise, sacrifice or submission cun qive peace and se curity to the South white such a spirit actuates the enemies of her institutions 1 The writer in the Sun says: For several weeks past the police of this city have had reason to believe that qper.-on Jill the jiaino of Win.

After wait- in.- until 01m o’clock, they concluded that something had happened, and they returned to tin-city. It ap peared that the negro Harris, after t(|king in the two -laves referred to, drove ofi'at such a luriou- rate that he run his hor.-e into a dray, in the rear of Brown’s Hotel, and in-t ntly killed him—tho slaves jumped out and cleared themselves, which stopped tlie expe dition for that night. On the 8th, < iiaplin bought another horse, and settled his hill about ten o’clock in the morning, and Harris drove off' again. Alter going round lii city a good deal, lie brought up at his own house and took out the horses, waich are a very fleet pair, mul put them iu his stable, or one close to the house. F,1.-y remained there until near night, when Harris hitched up again and began to drive around the eity. At this time tin- party ul police, and other citizens, conei-ting ol Cupt. Goddard, olticers Untidy, Cox. W .Hard, Davis, Win. Smith- y, John Cook n.ici Richard Butt, of tlie county, repaired to the Dis trict line lending to Montgomery, and there awaited the arrival of Chaplin, who arrived at that place about hall past eh veil o'clock. The police being posted in proper manner, at the appointed moment C fence rail was run through the hind wheel of the carriage by Capt Goddard, which brought it up, and at the same time two persons, riinilhey and Cox, caught the horses by Hie head, tlie balance of the party being at the sides of the carriage. Chaplin, who was driving, whipped the horses and fired h pi-tolnt riinilhey.'who had hold of the near horse, which bullet went through liis lint. At that time Davis Mini II indy pulled him ott' the seat on to the ground, and 11 tierce contest took place to secure him. Tue slaves inside, (who wore luruished with revolvers,) were during this time playing h quick game in firing at Goddard, Butt, Wollard und Cuok. who were on each side mid in front endeavoring to prevent their escaper, it was almost pitch dark, and-grant caution hud to be ob served to keep trom “hooting each other. Mr. Toombs, servant made his escape, supposed to he limily wounded fiorn tin- 'net id bis leaving his coat a line ilitanei- tiffin the road, with much blood on it.. Mr. Stephens’ man was shot in the back, ami a bullet went through his watch in his Ibb and lodged under the face, which no doubt snved hjs life. He tired five ot liis barrels, and Toombs’ man tired his whole six. Chaplin fired but. once. Tue wonder is thut they done no more damage than they did to the cilleers, which consj-ted of Mr. Butts receiving a bulletin the arm: Smithey one through his hat; Capt. Goddard's eyelir iw soon bed with the tire of Stephens' man; Cos a slight wound ih. the rjilit cheek. The white man and Mr. Stephens' slave were brought to the city and committed by Capt. Goddard before daylight. The free luun.Ilun is, was arrested and committed for further examination. A telegraphic despatch in the Sun, dated Wash- inton, 9th, rays: The white man who was officiating in attempting to abduct the slaves o Messrs, riteph -ns and Toombs is nam'd Chaplin, He In hugs to Philndt Iphia He is t,he person who tired first at tlie pursuers, wounding one of th,- police officers. It proved, how- ever, to lie only a flight ilesh wound. .Some others ot the officers engaged in the capture were slightly wounded.

On Monday forenoon, during the thunder storm, the residence of Mr. IIar. i.ey, mu Broughton street, opposite Messrs. Weeds' new store, was struck by lightning. The only dam age the building sustained was the loss of a few weather boardi, A negro who was in the kitchen at the time, was slightly stunned. Considerable excitement was occasioned in our community yesterday, by the appearance of a placard m several public places, notifying our eiti- 7.ens that an abolitionist ivas to be tarred and feath ered to-day. It seems thut u lew evenings since, a Northern gentleman, while conversing with others on the subject of abolition, made some remarks which were deemed offensive und insulting to tlie compnnv, among whom were ladies. On the tollcwing day the person alluded to was notified to leave tlie city in a given time, if he would avoid being roughly bundled by those whose indignation had been excited against him; whereupon he immediately innde a written state ment in which he most explicitly disavowed any in tention to affront the gentleman to whom ho had ad dressed bis remarks, and wholly disclaiming any sen timents hostile to the Booth and her institutions, l'his explanation with tlie assurance accompanying it whs deemed satisfactory by those who had felt it their duty to take tlie mutter in hand, but a report oi' tlie circumstances having got abroad, the hand bill f yesterday was posted, and but for the etioTts of the gentleman to whom this letter of explanation was addressed, very unpleasant consequences might have grown out. of it. The circum.-tnnce should serve to caution those among us who hold anti-slavery opinions ugniust in dulging ton freely in their utterance, at a time like the present, when the public mind is inure than ordi narily sensitive on that subject Every individual is undoubtedly entitled to his opinions, but opinions an- tagunistical to the interests, nnd dangerous to tlie peace of the community, had better be held strictly as tlie private properly of their possessors and not obtruded on those whom they are sure to otfend uud irritate. Mr. Stephens and the Northern Whigs. Two yeura ago, when Messrs. Stephens and Toombs gave their influence to the nomination nnd election gif Mr. Winth. op, ns Speaker of the House, and to the deieut ot the Clayton compromise—the immediate effect of which was to keep Van Bu- hkn in the field at the North, and thereby weaken the Democrats in thut section in the Presidentul election— tlieir talents and patriotism were the theme of the Northern Whig press, tuill nothing too good could be said of the Georgia members by the Washington Id ler writers, on that side. But now, since the'so gen tlemen have taken a stand tor the South, mid since they have shown themselves unwilling utterly to sac. riiiae themselves and tho interests o! tlieir section for the unity and harmony of the great national Whig parly, the tune is. changed, anti no language of abuse or ridicule, is too severe in which to duuo..nce them.

The farce of nn inquest lias been performed, over the bodies of tlie men who were killed by tho falling of the buildings in .Spruce nnd Mercor at roots, nnd a very wise verdict has been returned—in fact the jury should be Irishmen, who arc so celebrated for bulls. The jury say—"noblamo is to be attached to any one; yet they would recommend that greater care should hereafter he observed, in taking down build ings;" so that there must have been if want of care on the part of somebody, though no blame is to be at tached to any body.

I am glnd to learn that there is a hope of recover ing the statue of Calhoun from the wreck of the Eliz abeth. A person has gone down to Fire Island pre pared wit the necessary means, and writes encour. agingiy. No more of tlie bodies have been found. As 1 expected it would be, the respectable pirates have been admitted to bail, and returned to their homes to enjoy the fruit of their villainy. The U. ri. Marshal seems to trtke especial interest in them. They are to appear before the court in September. We are expecting the Pacific’s news hourly—she has been out nine days, and should have been near Halifax before this. It is probable however, that the news boat has missed her. The failure of Suyduin, Bago &. Co., does not in volve any other firm. I understand. Their liabilities exceed two millions of dollars, it is said, but tlie as sets will afford a pretty fuii4|ividi!ud : indeed, many suppose that they will yet come out nil right. The tailors continue to talk very large, but appear to have ht.d enough of fighting. Such physical de monstrations are unpopular, and unprofitable, and opposed to the spirit of tho age—they must now try moral force, nnd produce such a pressure that the niggnrdly paymasters must give way. The largest sum that was over in the hnmls of the Sub Treasurer, was reported yesterday, namely : $5,3-25,816 44. A son of Moses Y. Bench is now in Harrisburg, Pa., I understand, lor the pur, oso of getting tlie Gover nor of that rirnte to quash the proceedings against ilia ihther, in the matter of the Lehigh County Bank. The truth, however, is too palpable to be concealed. By this nnd similar means, B.-tieh has realized a large fortune, and th - worst feature of the transaction is, that it has been drawn from the pockets of the poor classes, who in many instances, were compelled to take the bills of his banks, or get none, and although individual losses, probably werenot of a considerable amount, still to such people $10 or $20 were of great importance, mid which they could ill afford to lose. People seem to think that Daniel Webster will set tle the difficulty with Portugal, without resorting to arms. His name nnd reputation will doubtless do much towards it, and as the Portuguese tire evidently disposed to “ eat humble pie." the obstacles to a set tlement will not be very formidable. Tlie new President lias made many friends here, by the tone and spirit of liis lute inessnee. It is said that he had the benefit of the document prepared by Gen Tuylor, on the subjects, which he intended to send to Congress. A steamer intended for the North river, is nearly completed, which is to beat every thing that has ever run upon these or any other waters. She is called the Reindeer; is 390 feet long and 35 feet wide. Her engines combine improvements, never before attemp ted; and great results are expected As she is to com pete with the rail roads, she ought to have some speed. It is designed, I hear, to make the trip to Albany nnd back on the same duy: thus leaving here at 7 A. M.. re maining there several hours, nnd be in New York again early at night. It can bn done easily with a fast boat, and as the railroad is not very popular would be a good *p -dilation. A sad accident occurred in .list street tins morning where men were employed excnvnting for n cellar— tlu; earth suddenly caved ill burying two of them.— They were extricated a,- soon as possible, but were in n frightful state. They will probably survive, how ever. The Grand jury have ignored the bill against young Grnndjenn and another for attempting to fire the Aster llouso. Great disappointment lias been experienced by tin non-arrival ot the California mail for this city. All the others nave been received and gross carelessness is attributable some where.

This statement of the result ot the proceedings, doea not agree, with that contained in the Republican of yesterday, by which the reader is led to infer that reso- North mul South. Everyday brings us evidences of the bad state of feeling which is growing up ut the North under the agitation of tlie question of controver-y between the North and the South in Congress. Only a day or two ago we had an account of a disturbance in a hall room ut Cape May, which crew out of insults offered to a Southern gentleman by anegro waiter. In that af fair a targe number of persons were involved, ana the negroes got a sound thrashing. Tlie proprietor of the hotel made a publication iu which he treated the dif ficulty as a very trifling affair, stating that the servant had been promptly di-ehurged. This was done with a view to serve tlie interests of the hotel, as the Southerner’s money is still received at par, at;these wntering places. But itis well known that the dis- turbance was n very serious one. A writer in the Philadelphia Bulletin, while speaking of the Cape May affair “ to show that the limit may have been with tlie Southerner.” relates the following incident which occurred in one of the Delaware steumbouts plying between Cape May and Philadelphia. A Southern gentleman and his wile were a little ton late getting down to breakfast, and the table was filled. 'File rule being to give Ladies and their com panions a c hance, to take first' seats—next fill the table with those nearest, and as soon as tilled, to lock the passage doors giving the servants room to wai on the table. When done, the next table is tilled first inviting any Indies clown who may have been asleep oricnlisposed to eat atfirst table. The Chumbermaid, a colored girl, requested the Southerner and wile not to descend to the dining room, as the “table was lull," ho thereupon cursed her Ibr nu -lmpudenuiegro ” She rejoined that such W(*re “her orciera.’’ Hu at once became vioJe.it and threatened -‘to cut her head oflT’ She told him “he was not m the South .among slaves now.” By this time the Captain interfered. Tlie man made serious charges. The Captain inquired, and finally told the Southerner that "tin- maid had her orders from him, tor tlie purpose of promoting the comtort ol all on his crowded vessel; but if ins eliurges against her us aggressor had been sustained, she should lmve been dismissed. On the contrary lie touud that tlie gen tleman was himself tlie aggressor, by the testimony of all who saw tho trouble; besides the testimony of many cm board that tbei wives lmd been particularly well cared for by the m ud. The. strong Southern will seemed disposed to Hum up with this decision of the Captain. All nus promptly settled, however by r the Capiniu sternly saying, -tjtr, you are not in the [1 ] South now. You cue with us where allure free- I i. - regret much that the trouble should lmve occurred but you are in the wrong, und must submit to our A good deal of c bating continued to Newcastle- and some spu-y ubolition and ultra Southern debates sprung up, pretty well conducted; but I thought the anti-slavery side rather weakly Misthiiud, the South erners apparently getting the better of the argument lutions in favor of the Clay Compromise, and opposed ™s abrupt^ brought to a close by a « toSassssa^^, , »»sfei v" v ^ fsot uprwj “Frne Lilc*.” * v I J3»* Tho carpenters of Washington ing the example of thoseln Philadelphia, hay ° °*' for higher wages.
