And the Convention took a recesd until 3 o'clock

Congrete—The Prospect.
Our National Legislature has now been in session
nearly two weeks, and has done literally nothing.—
The probability is that no business will be transacted
until after the Christmas holidays. There will thin
remain but two months of: existence tor the Thirty-
first Congress, in which to accomplish the legisla
tion of one your for this great Republic. 11 thebusi-
ness of the country was made the chief concern ot
the members, and if they could bo induced to ad-
dress themselves to the task in good earnest, and
with a single eye to the interests ot the svhple coun
try, it Is possible that even the brief time allowed
would suttice to do all that is required ; but if the
halls of Congress are again to be converted Into an
arena tor angry partizan and fanatical contests, tor
personal criminations and rencontres, it matters little
how much time is thus consumed. A perpetual Con
gress, such as the last, Would not be able to legislate
for the country.
It 1b thought by some, and sincerely hoped by
many, tliut the action of the last session removed, if
it did not‘-equitably adjust," the sectional difficulties,
which, while they remained under discussion in Con
gress,disturbed the harmonious legislation of the coun
try ; and that Congress on its re-assembling, would
address itself in a better spirit to the legislation es
sential to the great interests of all sections of the
Union. It remains yet to be seen whether these ex.
pectations will be realized.
Although the South is not insensible to the injus
tice of her exclusion lrom the public domain, yet she
seems to have made up her mind to yield to the pre-
tentionsol the North in this matter, holding to the
guarantees ot the Constitution for protection front
turther encroachment upon her rights. It is not prob
aide therefore that she will attempt to disturb the late
compromise meusures, though she will most rigidly
insist on the maintenance ot that only portion of
the scheme in which her rights are considered—the
Fugitive Bill. But we are not so sure that mutters
will bo permitted to rest as they arc, even during the
present session, by the tree soil and abolition agita
tors of the North. These factious are led by reckless’
fanatical men—men alike indifferent to the principles
of injustice and honor, and to the fate ot our politi
cal Union. Agitation is their life—they have, as they
imugine, all to gain and nothing to lose by conflict
with the South and her institutions, and if we may
judge by the past, no concession on our part, short ot
a total surrender of our rights under the Constitution,
would satisfy their unreasonable demands.
Tbe leaders of this party have not yet made any
demonstration in Congress. They are perhaps wait-
g events and arranging their plans lor the new
crusade. -Mr. Sewaiid. tne acknowledged leader, has
thus far preserved a mysterious silence; but Gid
dings, eager for tho onset, finds it difficult to restrain
his zeal until the proper time, as is shown by his re
murks on Mond.y last, upon the President's Mes
sage, when he said that the -‘President hud menaced
the freemen of the North, who will die before they
will become slave-catchers, which, in his opinion, was
worse than murder."
A writer in the Philadelphia Ledger, in tho course
of some speculations in regard to the probable move
ment of the abolition faction, in and out of Congress,
__ g'ome tlmo since, thepVigiltmce Committee
ofthe Southern Rights Association at Eufaula, in
this State, required Capt., Elisha Betts, of Barbour
county, to leave his residence there, as ho was in the
habit of roceivlna abolition papers, corresponding cn -
couragingly with the same,' und circulating their
views through the community. Recently he has
made an application for permission to return and
tho same has been granted, upon his signing a writ,
ten agreement that he will not again offend in tho
sitrao way, but bo u true and loyal citizen ot tbe South.
This has been done, in consideration of his advanced
age, and theguaruntee ofthree of his neighbors, high,
ly respectable gentlemen, that he will observe his
promise.
These proceedings are reported in the last "Spirit
ofthe South,” published at Eufaula.
More Gold—Sholkua in Jamaica.—The steam
ship Empire City, Capt. Wilson, from Chngres, ar.
rivedat New-York on ounday morning, with dates
from San Francisco to Nov. 1st, from the Isthmus to
Nov. 27th, and Kingston, Jamaica, to the 1st of De
cember, She has $1,600,000 gold dust on freight,
and probably $400,000 in the hands of passengers
Her advices from California were anticipated by the
Georgia-
Tbe Empire-City brought Jamaica papers of the
518th snd30th. They give a most dreadful account
of tbe ravages of the cholera in the interior parts of
the island. At Port Royal, from the 16th to the 28th,
100 deaths had occurred, and the epidemic contin
ued to a tearful extent. At Portland, 9 deaths; St.
Jamba, 10 cases and 7 deaths; Trelawiney. 28 ca-es,
“&!ipouth,20 deaths;St. Ann's, 10deaths:

Baltimohe, December 7,1850.—Sheriff Cloud, yes
terdi.y, summoned a Jury to hold an inquest, by vir
tue of lunatico inquirendo, into the sanity of Miss Ra
chael Colvin, an old miser and millionaire of 6ur
city, whose real estate is valued at near)y$ l ,000,000-
The result of the inquest was, that the jury did not
consider her mentally capable of further care of her
vast estate, which has been, for so long a time, so
skilfully mnnnged by her. The bulk of this estate
was left by her father to herself and brother, and en
tailed to a distant relative; nearly half a century huo.
One condition of their continuing in possession of the
estate, during theirl ves, was,thut they should remain
single. Tho father died crazy; and hearing Bometbiu|g
said about carrying his body to tbe church, immedi
ately preceding his death, lie expressed a hope that, if
they did, it would catch fire and bur n down. His
body was, however, carried to tho old Light street
Mcttiodist Church—a frame building, which stood on
the site of the present structure—and, sure enough,
it did catch fire and was burned down, the body liav
ing with difficulty been rescued from the fames. A
brother and a sister of Miss Rachael have 6ince died,
deranged; and now, it seems, her turn lias come.—
She has been in thiscondition some tirpe. and sub
ject to the most unnatural vagaries—imagininu that
she is enciente, and that General Washington is her
husband.
The estate, I learn, except such portion as she has
acquired, by tho rents in her own name, passes to
some poor relatives, in the State of Delaware. That
which is in her own name will go to her niece, who,
it is said, has been made her sole heir by a will re
corded during tbe time abe waa in k sane atate of
mind.

Tho object of the Northern agitators seems to be to
excite the South, already sufficiently irritated and
troubled, to madness, so ns to push them to some
overt act of treason or rebellion, which shall enable
them (the Nurtb) to raise the Union standard by con
trast, or to cause the South to abstain trom nl, par
ticipation in the Presidency of 1852, by running an
ultra candidate of their own, who in turn would jus
tify the running of an independent Northern candi
date, on the Free Soil plaiform. The game is whol
ly unworthy the cause which is hereatstake—a wan
ton and infamous trilling with the dearest interests
of the nation--and entirely destructive of the frater
nal teelings which ought to animate the citizen of dif
ferent section of the Uunion.

Printer’s National Conventiom—The Jour
neymen Printers who hove been sitting in National
Convention, in New York, thefew days past,have
finally adjourned. A National Executive Commit
tee have been appointed, to carry out the plans
agreed upon—one of the most important of which
seems to be the raising ol funds to establish a Print,
ers "Union” office, to do the printing of the United
States government. The following is the resolution
adopted on this subject:
Resolved, That the National Convention Commit
tee have power to correspond with the several
Unions which are or may be establishe-i, on the
subject of joint stock offices, and particularly to as
certain from such Unions if funds can he subscribed
by the members thereof, in amount sufficient to war

ing the printing of the United States government.

lish a national printing office by Congress Were

In the House of Representatives the consider-.tion
of the orders of tbe day was resumed. Messrs. Leit-
ner ..nd McGowan were opposed to State action at
S resent, but were in favor of a Southern Congress.
Ir. B F. Perry opposed separate State action und, the
call of a Convention. He advocated the appoint
ment of delegates to a Southern Congress, four by
the Legislature, and two from each C .ngresaional
District. If he could preserve the Union, consistent
ly with his feelings as a southern man, he felt dis
posed to do so. He was In lavor of arming the State;
denied the right of secessi >n; advocated the right of
revolution ; and was in favor of non-intercourse and
the North Carolina resolutions.
Mr. Seabrook submitted resolutions that the State
should suggest that the Southern Congress should
meet at Montgomery on the first Monday in Decem
ber next, provided Ibat no State designated an ear
lier day, und that a bill Ase prepared to call a Conven
tion ofthe people of this State, and for the election
of delegates on the second Monday in November.
A Tragical Affair Our readers will recollect
that last May, a returned Californian, by the name
ofJohnBon, of Bangor, on his way tbitherinthe
steamboat, left about 85,000 of gold upon the wharf
at Belfast, which was found and returned to him.—
Mr. Johneon was considered to bu n very lucky mnn
not rmy in recovering his gold, but in being able to
bring home bo large a ‘pile,’considering the shortness
of his absence.
Last Friday this fortunate Mr. Johnson was arrested
by on officer from New-York on a reqisition from
the Governor of Calfornio tot the robbery und mur
der ot a mnn in California, some time last winter or
spring. The most horrible part of the affair is, thnt
two innocent persons were accused as tbe murderers.

PaorosiTioN to Increase the Army.—General
Winfield Scott's report on the army is published in
the Intelligencer. He recommends the organization
of two additional regiments of horse dragoons or
mounted riflemen, and an increase of infantry. He
deems this increase indispensable for the protection
ofthe frontiers.
Virginia Senator.—Mr. Mason has been reelect
ed Senator by tho Virginia Legislature by a majority
of seventy. All the Democrats and seventeen VVliigs

Mr. Mason Is boe ofthe most high toned mpn in Vir

only a most honorable and deserved distinction to
himself, bnt Is a gratifying proof that Virginia i» ready

the South. ■ ' 'mttm
Baltimore Sun, remarking upon this elec-
election of Mr. Mason as Senator from Vir-
glnla, by an overwhelming majority aud without
regular opposition, is of-itself the best proof that Vir-

te faithful execution of the fugitive slave act. If the

Acquital of Muuder.— Curious Case.—Jacob
Green was tried oh Thursday last, at New Castle
Dalaware, for the Murder of Abraham Redden. It
was proved thnt Green was married about six years
ago and lived happily with a woman to whom be
was much attached, and, that Redden seduced her
from her fidelity to him. The Delaware Rupublican
says:—
“He would frequently take her from her house and
keep her away all night: and there was proof of
adulterous intercourse. On Green accusing him of it,
he said;—‘Yes, 1 have had your wife, and will have
her again whenever I like; and if you don’t keep
quiet Twill blow your liver out.' He carried two
pistols loaded for thu avowed purpose of shooting
Green; and on one occasion assaulted and beat him
severely. He loaded these pistols with slugs on Sa-
urdny, the 20th of July last, tell ng his own wife
that he intended to shoot Green. That night he took
Green's wife from her house, and kept her out all
night., staying with her in a stack yard, about three
miles from her husband a house. Green discovered
the guilty pair about day break the next morning;
went some two or three miles and borrowed a gun;
returned aud found Redden sitting asleep in a neigh
boring house'and shot him through the open door.
He immediately surrendered himself.
"The law In Delawere makes it no higher offence
than a misdemeanor for a husbaud to kill a mau
found in tbe act of adultery with his wife ; and the
Jury considering even that as beyond tho guilt of
this defends l under the circumstance of aggrava
tion and outrage presented .by his case, acquitted him
entirely.
“The unhappy men, on being discharged from the
dock, waa received by a crowd of friends, who gave
three hearty cheers when they had got into the street.
The guilty wife was not there; and the widow of
the deceased contributed, by her testimony, to the ac
quitted of the man who slew her own husband."

Improper Foreign Interference.—At a recent
meeting of the .Committee ofthe British and For
eign Anti-Slavery Society, held in London, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted.
“ Resolved, That this committeo have witnessed
with profound regret tho ucts of the United States
Congress during its last session in relation to sla
very, and feel it to be their duty to record their con
demnation of the spirit in which they were con
ceived, the principles on which they were based,
and the objects tifey were intended to accomplish.—
That this committee more particularly reprobate
and denounced tho net for the recapture of lugitive
slaves as an outrage upon the dearest rights of hu
manity, slid a daring violation of the laws of God.
That this committee deeply sympathise with the
colored population of the United States in their pre-
ost trying and painful circumstance?, and
testly exhort the friends of freedom
