During tho discussion, Chandler, who hid charge of the bill, said it was well known that these obstructions were put in these Southern harbors during the war. We have no report from the engineers on them, but it is provided for new surveys to be made of all these har bors, and until the result of these surveys was known, the estimates could not be made, and it is best to make no appropriations in advance. Of course, if the Senate choose to load down the bill with amendments and kill it, they can do it; but he asked them to stand by the Com mittee. The Conference report on the Post-office ap propriation was adopted. The Conference Committee on the currency reported the bill aa adopted by the Senate, ex cept that the new currency be fixed at fifty- four, instead of forty-five millions. Bepoit adopted.

Mr, Trum bull thought it most extraordinary to provide for the establishment of bonks for taking np the additional thirty-four millions within the next three months, and then to reqnire a redis tribution a few months later. Mr. Sherman re plied that under the existing law it would take ninety days to organize a bank, and therefore the census returns would be ascertained before any bank could be established. Mr. Trumbull said there would then be no distributions under the existing law. Beport adopted. General News.

Now for a special an* particular application. It appears that a mushroom growth of so-cauBn “Bitters,’.’ is springing up under different names in various localities, particularly in the Southern sad Western States, which the venders have the hardt- jjood to recommend to easy-going people-upon whom they think they can impose, as a subatitete for Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, long recognized by every class as the purest and beet medicated stima- lant and invigorant the world affords. The concoctions referred to being composed ef worthless material, offer a larger margin for P™Qt, than that Celebrated Tonic, and hence the anxiter of dollar worshipping.dealers to foist them upm the public in its place. But “forewarnedla forearmed,” and all partaee whom these distinguished (!) beings are endeavor ing to coax and inveigle into substituting trash for a standard remedy, are hereby informed of tho wlT ish and sordid motives which underlie the represen tations in question. The groat popularity and vast sales of Hostetero Bitters cannot, ofc course, be seriously impaired by these “tricks of trade,” but as tho debilitated and suffering have a direct interest in the matter, it ie only an act of common humanity to put them an theirguard.

Economical Housekeeping.—We lhave now be fore us a circular published by the Sea Moss Farias Company, which we advise every one who takes an interest in the food question to read. It describee concisely the oiiginand uses of the edible Boa Moae Farine, and presents an array of scientific and other testimony in its favor which can hardly fail toeae- vince the most skeptical of its paramount claims an an economic, wholesome, digestible, eminently nu tritious, and very pleasant addition to the national caste. This at least is the conclusion at which many of the most eminent hotel keepers, artistic cooks, physicians, chemists, merchants, etc., of New York have-arrived, and they state their opinions on the subject over their own signatures, in the pamphlet to which we allude. Connubial Felicity.—Nothing tends more to connubial happiness than cheerful mid healthy in fanta and children. Mrs. Whitcomb’s Syrup is the great children’s soothing remedy.
