Mr. Dickinson moved to amend so as to give Die
California Senators and members mileiige in propor
tion to their distance, by the usual route, from the
seat of government.
The House provision limits the mileage of mem
bers residing this side ths Rocky Mountains to one
Ihousand dollars, and those West to two thousand.
Mr. Douglasand Mr. Ewingapoke in favor of giv*
ing members of Congress adequate pay, and mileage
according to distance.
Mr. Butler said the compensation ought to be liber
al enough to enable poor men to come to Congress.
None but rich men ought to come under the present
compensation. He would give a salary of two thou
sand delates, and a hundred dollars lor every titty
miles distance, including golngand coming. Itwuuid
tend to shorten the session.

a^e be computed by post routes was agreed to: Yeas

Mr, Badger moved to strike out the proviso re- '
striding members from receiving mileage tor any

Pending the consideration of amendments the Se
nate adjourned till 10 o'clock on Monday.
House of Representtlivee. On motion of Mr. Burt,
the House resumed the consideration of the naval
appropriation bill.
An amendment was adopted authorizing the Secre
tary ot the Navy to test the different patent condens
ers for supplying the boilers of the U. S. steamers
with fresh water, and appropriating ®5000 for the
purpose.
A proposition was. introduced by Mr. Jones, of
Tcnn., to abolish flogging in the Navy.
Mr.Stanly moved to amend the amendment as
fallows: “except in cases where the lashes are order
ed by a court martial; and in such case the order
shall not be executed until twety-tbur hours after
judgment."
The amendment to the amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Evuns, of Md., moved further to amend the
amendment so as to provide lor abolishing the spirit
ration in the navy. He argued that if this was done
there would bo no necessity for the abolition of the
flogging.
The amendment, after discussion, was agreed to—
yens 73, nays 54.
Mr. Venable moved to amend it further by adding
“Provided, ulso, that neither wine nor ardent spirits
shall bo used by tbo officers un board ship whilst in
actual service, except as medicine.
Mr. Venabiosaid lie was opposed to feeding Jack
with one spoon and those with buttons and epau
lettes with another. He waa for letting Jack huve
hie grog and the flogging. *
Mr. Mor«e was opposed to both amendments. lie
was opposed to tile abolition of the flogging, andjhe
abolition of the grog. Jack, who attended to his
duties, was in favor of both.
Ponding the discussion on tills proposition, tho
House adjourned till Monday.
[Correspondence of the Baltimore Bun.]
Washington, 8ept. 22.
The onimated contest, in both Houses, upon n-
mundmenu to appropriation bills now before them
have prevented their pHssago, to the great inconven
ience of tlie public and of the government, and
the delay and probable loss of many important and
undisputed measures. The civil and diplomatic- bill
is always regarded as the long omnibus of the ses
sion, and heavy laden as it Is, it will have to take up
more passengers. Water is secured from the Ohio
river by one amendment, and a token is given of tho
. continuance of the Union by this enlargement of the
Capitol towards the North to accommodate incoming
Northern States, and towards the South in view of
the accession of the new States from Texaa and
thereabouts.
The Georgia militia claim could not get a seat In
the bus. Mr. Bright was on the watch against any
more Galphins.
The Ebony line is to be started under high pres-
sure to-morrow, and will make the best lun ever
heard of. The objection to it is that it will be too
useful to the public, and too protitable to individ
uals ; and besides, ss an incident, it may carry off
some of the surplus free black population, alter a
while. It has to contend with the Seward policy of
giving the blacks social and civil equality here.
The Canada Reciprocity bill is defunct for this ses
sion. The tariff men have iniluence and power
enough to defeat it. Canada will sell to us without
buying ironi us, is die argument. They wont buy
at our prices but are ready to sell at our prices If
we give Canada a market and a good ono for her
wheat and wool it will, by tho natural operation of
events, give us Canada. American emigration into
Canada will follow and Canada will be improved,
Americanized, and ultimately annexed.
We shall hear little more ola modification of the
.Tariff'at this uession.
The Spanish Minister fully believes that another
and more serious invasion of Cuba is on fool in this
country, and he is, it is said, greatly alarmed at It.—
It must be the invasion that wns rumored tohave
been formed by Mr. Clayton. I doubt whether there
is toy good foundation for the alarm, but the gov
ernment has been, and still is very watchful.
From Texas.
Tbb New Orleans papers have advices from Gal
veston to the 17th fast.
The Legislature of Texaa, has adjourned without
any action on the boundary question, to meet again
on the third Monday in November next. No intel
ligence had been received of the passage of any final
bBl by Congress, and the adjournment is for the pur
pose of meeting such a proposition.
The Legislature did pass a law requiring the Gov.
ernor, fa the event of any proposition being receiv
ed from tlie United States for the purchase of the
New Mexican territory, to order by proclamation
avoteot the people on the acceptance or rejection
of the offer. It further required the Governor to con-
Tens the Legislators, to take final action oa the sub
ject, after the vote by the people should be ascertain*
ed.
This bill Gov. Beil vetoed upon several grounds,
among which are: That the proposition might be in
sulting and offensive, and some discretion ought to
be left with the Executive as to the propriety of or
dering a State vote upon it; and, further, thft the
imperative direction to the Governor to convene an
extra session of the Leglsture Is in direct violation
of the constitution of the State, which reposes the
power to judge of the occasion solely with the Gove-
nor.
The House sustained the veto, by refusing to pass
the bill; the Senate veted to sustain it by two-thirds
but it failed for want of House support.
The Galveston News says that the Leglsture
were fully apprised of the vote in Congress, on Mr.
Pzaece’s bill two orthree days before the election of
Gaft. Ross, as Senator, and that his election may be
considered a falsest of the sentiments of the Leg
islature respecting the Pearce bill. On the other
hand both the papers at Austin are talking very
strongly against t®y sale of the Santa Fe territory.

Krlifay Morning. September 27, 1850V
Largest Circulation in the CityJ!
Utilitv or the TELEGBAni With all its errors
(anff where shall we look far inialibility 1) the magne.
tic ttlcurnph is nevertheless of great utility to tho
commerclal world. One instance of its usefuluess
in saving time, was brought to our notice yesterday
evening. 'The brig Oregon, with a load of lumber
from this city, wns ahondoned at sen on the 17th.
and the crew arrived at St. Marys, on Sunday the
22d fash, having bad no communication with any
other vessel sfter leaving the brig, except tho J. IV,
Godfrey by which they wero rescued. The captain
und mute arrived here on Wednesday morning. On
the alternoon of the day in which they reached our
city, ami when they supposed tucir recent disuste
was unknown beyond this port, Mr. J. Uuantock,
jr., the consignee here, recot vo J a uispatch from the
owners, Oaten New York, Sept. 24th, announcing lo
him tho loss of the vessel, and ordering another car
go oi lumber immediately. by the ordinary mode
of communication some two weeks, at lea., would
have been required lor tills transaction. How the
iuloruiatiun leached New York in so ihaitatimo al
ter die accident, is uu»uuwn. it is pruuuble tout
some vessel passing the wreck alter its uduudooincnt
curried tin-intelligence to Charleston, from whence
u telegraphic dispatch was sen, to the owners.
The Galpbiu Claim—Georgia to be Watched.
Will we ever cease to heur ol the Ualphin cornu 1
The luct that citizens of Georgia have obtained a lit
tle ol uncle Sam's loose change, is u tiuog oi such
rare occurrence that it seems utterly to astouish peo
ple who have all their days subsisted at tlie public
crib,until they huve come to think that they havensort
of hereditary right to tho mosey of the government.
If Galphfaism, as they call it, vvus any thing new un
der the sun, then the great fuss that bus been made
about it would not be so much to be woudered at
But when it is known that many millions of doilureo.
tho public money have gone from the treasury in ibe
same manner, and that the government is common
ly regarded as a gre t goose, whom it is every body's
privilege lo pluck we think, there lias been quite
enough said about the matter. We could have pre
ferred, iu this ease, that the agent of the claim, had
not occupied ihe positiun in toe government which
he did ut the time of ihe transaction; hut we doubt
not, toe presuo-ption that improper influences were
resorted to, arises chiefly from the conviction that
no Georgian - ould hat e had such a shy ut the puuhc
money unless he hud helped h.mseJt. The subject
has been brought to our mind, by the fallowing para
graph, which we find in .he correspondence ol the
charleston Courier. Tlie writer si yt—
'ihe Georgia militia churn had been offered as an
amendment, (.to the upproprmuo.i oillj and Mr. Walk
er oojeeieu to passing i icorgia claims wuuout ex-
1,0110011. u, ailuuihg l-« one that passed in « nurry last
session, ana hud kept tu House un the public press
• ud the lute Cabinet ,11 cumtuou-n. Mr. Berrien
wanted to know what claim t. at was. Mr. Walker
replied that it » us c miuonly kn »u as th G Iph u
ciuirn. (Jn, said Mr. Berrien, that was not n G orgm
ciuirn, it was u South Carolina claim. Mr. Butler
denied ties positively—asserting tout it wus u Geor
gia claim—Ottlpiiin lived iu Georgia and Georgia pre-
sentcu the claim, .Mr, Berrien declared 'hut the
mud which was the suojeet ot the treaty under which
iiulphm claimed, was in South Curolma. The histo
ry ol tiiu 'mutter was uehuted between tlie t w o sen
ators. Mr. Cuss remarked, that he was glad to see
that uo Statu acknowledge ihe claim.
So Georgia is to he wutched iu future. South Car
olina is right enough fa declining to share the respon
sibility of the Galpbin claim with us; but if half
that has been said of Mr. Cass, in connection with
transactions of this nature, by his political oppo
hems, be true, ha should be the l„st one to say any
thing about the matter. We have heard of som
Michigan Indian Galphfaism, in which he was the
party chiefly interested. People who live in gla a a
houses should not throw stones.
!.y The Now York Sunday Herald says:—There
may be something in the many rumors that have
been floating about for some time past, in reference
to another descent on Cuba, or Mr. Webster would
not attach so much importance to them. We learn
that he is conferring with the Spanish Minister on the
subject; and, from what we hear, the design is first to
conquer Hayti, and afterwards muke that island the
centre of operations against Cuba. All this may be
mere rumor; but it has an air of plausibility abont it.
The California News.—Tne Northern papers
are tilled with the details of the late news from Squat-
terdom. They however contain nothing of mo
ment fa addition to what we have already published.
The mines are said to continue to yield gold inn
bundance, new placers are daily discovered, and
murders and robberies occur as usual; but as our
readers can leel little or no interest in the local af
fairs of a region from which they have been exclud
ed by the action of Congress, we do not think it
worth while to burthen our columns with the details.
The Charleston Mercury commenting upon the late
outbreak at Sacramento city, says—
What makes this case striking is that the claim of
ownership was on the part of the renowned Captain
Sutter, the builder of“Siitter’s Fort,” (along side of
which the City of Sacramento has since risen like n
crop of toad-stools,) und who was for twenty years
a sort of patriarchal king in that region of California
He owned the region by virtue ot an old Mexican
Itrant nnd twenty years of regular occupancy. If
these vagabonds were not determined to moke war up
on all proprietorship of the soil which interfered with
their convenience, thejr would have held Capt. Sut
ter's claims as especially sacred. This battle is.
therefore, a war upon the right of private property
in the gold diggings, and wo much mistake ft it does
not settle the question for some time to come. Why
Should not the squatters have the land ? Have they
not made a State, and Senators and Representatives
and given law to the United States ?
The New York Tribune, speaking of the affair,
says—
Considering the uncertain tenure of the most of
the California grants, and especially that which pur-
porta to cover tlie ground now occupied by Sacra
mento City, the squatters have a show of right in
their claims, if they .do notposscss the right itself.
Of course, California affords a proper field in
which to carry out the anti rent theories of the edi
tor of the Tribune.
A SrEECH FROM THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR.—
The Washington Republic says that Amin Bey, the
Turkish Ambassador, was vociferously called for
on tlie occasion of tho serenade to hint fa that city,
on Thursday night. He appeared at the window
and, through his interpreter, Mr. Brown, addressed
the assemblage. His speech was delivered with
much propriety and self-possession, and w»« lis-
tened to with much interest. He mentioned that he
was the Columbus of his nation, being the first na-
tive Turk who hfld visited America. Having ac
knowledged the ntfentionsand kindnesses shown him,
and expressed his admiration of our country and its
citizens, in the true spirit of eastern munificence,
he ordered a collation for the band and retired
amidst the cheers of the assembled multitude
A Parody after Jenny. Max Maretzok, the
conductor of the Italian opera at New York, has
sent 600,00 fames to Europe to clinch an engage
ment with Signorlun Parodi, who created such a
furore in London, and that, too, in the wake of Jenny
Lind.
The New Strainer Vfrlnkn.
By invitatl on of the owner*, a day or two since
we visited this new steamer now 1 on the stocks at the
ship yard of Messrs Jones ft- PaFOt. Even to an
unpractised eye, the model of tills boat will ezblbit
tho skill and ingenuity of her builders, and the gen
tlemen tor whom they are constructing her, all of
whom have given tlieir attention lo it with a view to
procuring tho one best adapted for the purposes for
which the steamer is designed. She is so construct
ed as to give extraordinary speed, together with great
capacity for freight; and will be, when finished,
tho fattest boat (except, perhnps the Metumora.) now
on our water, while she will convey, with ordinary
stowing, three hundred bales of cotton.
Her dimensions arc—length 140 feet; breadth of
beam 24 feet, and depth of hold 8 feet. Her engine
(low pressure) is now in the hands of Alvin N. Mil
ler, of this city, and will be put into her sometime
next month. It is of 75 horse power, and of extraor
dinary strength nnd solidity, tho shaft and other im
portant parts being thicker fa proportion to their
length than those of any other boat in this.or herhaps,
any other port. This is fa keeping with the whole
design which is to make her a strong, safe and relia
ble boat, while speed is not lost sight of, but ensured
by this ability on the part of the engine to do its
work faithfully, and of the hull (which is built with
timbers, Sec., of uncommon thickness) tb respond
without straining, to the power exerted.
The tVelaka will be fitted up in tho most modern
style, with every improvement for the comfort and
accommodation of jjussenrgers. There will be three
Cabins; one on the Upper Deck.^with 1C 6t«te rooms,
for families ; one on the main Deck, for a dining sa
loon, 20 feet square, with a ladles' s-iloon in the
rear; and one below for servants. Besides these
fixtures for 50 paesengers, there will be portable ac
commodations for as many more. The plate, table
furniture, and all the apparatus and furniture is
now being made to order after paterns furnished
for the purpose. In short nothing will be left undone
to make her favorite with the public.
Sho is owned by Messrs Brooks, Barden and
Blankenship, and will be commanded by captain
Blankenship so long and favorably known on the
Metamora fa the Charleston and Savannah line.—
The romantic name of the new boat will almost point
to the trade fa which she is to be engaged: it is the
Indian name of the river St. Johns, (Florida,) and we
trust that many a prosperous day is in store for the
new ateamer on the bosom of the beautiful stream
whose ancient name she bears.
We cannot leave this sketch without paying a tri
bute to the energy and industry of the young firm
who have contracted lor the bi ildfag of the boat.
Mesars. Jones Sc Papot have devoted their best en
ergies to the task of furnishing a boat which will
compare with any ever built on these or any other-
waters. The best material is furnished with lavisti.prn
digality, and every timber cut, and every bolt fasten
ed, under their careful supervision. We arp told
by the owners, that thpy are determined to give these
Southern Mechanics a fair opportunity to test their
skill, and so ter they have seen reason, at every step,
to be more than satisfied with tlie effort.
The Welaka will be a Southern boat in every re
spect. Resident Mechanics ore doing everything on
her thntcan bedone fa the South, (snd that compri
ses almost every item of any consequence) and the
owners assure us that not a stick, nor a bolt is fash
ioned but by our own workmen. They have made
this an object, and they feel a worthy pride in fur-
ris ing to a Southern public n boat, modelled, built
and navigated in their own waters, which will com
pare iu all respects with the best boats built in thecoun
try. We cordially participot e with them in this feeling
and hope that their successful ett'ort is but sn ear
nest of what may and will yet be d one in the way of
steamboatbuilding fa the yards of our city. There
is no good reason why Savannah should not become
nn extensive ship building port. We have enterpri
sing and public spirited contracted, competent me
chanics, the best of timber, and a climate admirably
adapted to the business at all seasons of the year.

Temple fob tin. Calhoun's Statue. The
Charleston papere state that if theBtatue of Mr. Cal
houn which sunk in the wreck ot the ship Elizabeth,
is not recovered, the City Council of Charleston have
resolved to obtain another statue from Powers of the
same character, which can easily be done, as the ar-
tisthas the .model from which the last statue was
wrought, and from which another can be furnished.
The City Council have also resolved to builo a Tem
ple, wherein to enshrine tho statue, and they have
adopted n plan, the architect of which proposes to in
troduce gas into the building at night, so managed as
to throw a delicate and beautiful light around the
statue; and pedestals will be placed at the angles of
the building, supporting vases, in which are to be cul

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 11.—There has been a dull and

prices, but not generally of so decided a character as

Taking-off the CHabm.—The following, tho
Portsmouth Pilot believes, is a portion of the law
for the government of the U. 8. Naval School at An
napolis:
Warning U> Bodies.—If any midshipman or acting
midshipman shall be married previous to bis final
examination, such marriage shall be considered ns
equivalent to resignation, aud bi* name will be drop
ped from the Navy list
The Potato Hot in New Jersey. The pota
to rot prevails very extensively in Gloucester ana
Camden counties N. J., where whole fields are lost.—
One person it is said, lost 100 bushels out of one
day's digging, which were smooth and white, and
looked well when dug. The loss it is feared will be
a very heavy one, ss the culture of the potatoe has
been entered into very largely by the farmers. The
early crop on account of the season was nearly a to
tal failure fa that region.
An “ Elector of the City of London,” it is
said has Addressed the following note to Baron Roths
child, (who it will be recolected, introduced Haynau
as his friend to the proprietor of Barclay Sc Co's
brewery.) “ Sir, if Haynau is your friend (!) I can
be so no longer. Sir. Yours, See. An Elector of the
city of London.”
The Senate and the arts. Mr. Butler of 8. C-
has proposed removing the group containing the
statue of Columbus, from its present position on the
east portico of the Capitol, to a suitable place in
some ono of the public squares. Mr. B. protested
that he meant no disrespect to tho artist (Mr. Persi-
co.) Mr. Winthrop stated that a statue to match the
one he proposes to remove has already been ordered,
to be placed on the opposite wing. Mr. Butler added
that many persons concurred with him fa the pro
priety of removing this group.
“ Mr. Dickinson said: 1 suggest that that part of
the resolution which relates to the public grounds be
■truck out. I think I could find a much more suita
ble place for it.”
The resolution lies over under the rules.
Fie, fie—Mr. Dickinson, such inflations, to say
the best of it, arc not very artistic, Wit since John Ran
dolph tried to damn Trumbul’s paintings by calling
them “the shin pieces," (the legs afterwards covered
up) and Henry A. Wise belabored Grernough'e stat
ue of Washington, by intimating in debato that it
resembled a scene not to be mentioned to ears polite,
many Senators and Representatives have fancied
themselves equally good ut criticism and politics.
Such critics make us think, says the New York Ez-
press, that, “ Since every Jack has become i gentle
man, every gentleman has become a Jack-."
