    What was done iu Congress.
■J'ne Jiational Intelligencer Fays, it would be impos
,o give, in detail, me proceedings of Congress du
• ihe last forty-eight hours it was in session. It
•refore contents itself w ith the following brief sum
■ first, no Bill has passed providing a Government
either Territories ol New Mex'co or Calilornin. —
• ieSC measures fell through from the it.ability of the
~ j Houses to concur in any proposition. At the iast
„ .-jent, however, a Bii! from the House w s taken up
senate, and in* become a law, lor extending the
laws over the United States, to those Territo
. eS The Bill to establish the Home department has
k. n<? a aw. having passed the Senate after a long,
tedious and rather stormy debate. The Bill forcrca
(„,,.a T-r itorial Government in Mitu-sota liasalsobe
me n law, the House of Representatives having re
led from its amend..ien ! proposing to postpone the
vration ot the hill to the tenth of this month.
•’ A bill was passed in reference to the next census,
i „ c ijng the h -ad of some of the departments and the
Attorney General, to prepare and report at the next
g,jskjii of Congress, a bill to authorise the taking ot the
seventh census of the United States. Business of a mis
( is ieotis character was transacted, and after having
deposed of the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation
Bill, die Senate, at about six o’clock in the morning
went into Executive session, when Mr. Senator Han
.. rA _v, of Indianna, was nominate Iby the President,
and confirmed by the Senate, to be Minister of the
United States to Berlin.”
The Cabinet*
The Washington corre.-pond e tit of the Philadelphia
V urth American, says:
•‘The new arrangement of the Cabinet is entirely
satisiacti-ry, and will b<* received with as much plea
eu;e as the original programme. The transfer of Mr
Preston to the Navy Department, was in accordance
with ids own wishes, and the appointment of Mr.
Reverdy Johnson as Attorney General, is a compli
ment to Ids eminent legal abilities, the propriety and
force of which the country w ill acknowledge, without
a dissenting opinion.”
The N Y. Courier S Enquirer says: “ The
a a whole, is one of the strongest ever formed in this
country, and affords .mother evidence of the practical
sagacity of the President elec’. It is worthy of remark,
too, that w hile ail the members of this Cabinet are gen
tlemen of high talent and enviable social position, each
and allot them are men ol spotless and unblemished
reputations—-men who, in all the relations of life, have
preserved the most exalted private characters, and
whose purity ot life is proverbial.”
What the Administration will be.
The Hon John M. Clayton,now’ Secretary of State,
in a recent letter to a ‘’Rough and Ready” club in Bos
ton remarked : “I think it an appropriate occasion to
say, that 1 view the election of Gen. Taylor, as it ap
pears to be considered bv the Association over which
you preside, as an emphatic approval of the doctrines
of Washington, a clear annunciation to the world that
the people of the United Stiles mean to revive then),
restore them,and apply them again to the administra
tion of the government, and to rebuke any departure
from them, as unworthy of their confidence and sup
port.”
Democratic Testimony.
The political enemies as well as friends of Gen.
Tayiors< em to be favorably impressed with the appear
ance and bearing of the old chief. The Washington
corespondent of the N. Y. Evening Post, (Deni.) thus
speaks:
“ Speaking of Gen. Taylor, permit me to say that I :
am tig eeably disappointed in him. H- receives those
who call and all may call, with great couitesy and
kianness, and withal in such a republican style, as
does honor to his head and heart. He is a venerable
gentleman ol the old school, unpretending and benev
olent in manner, and all who approach him are con
vii.c. and of bis honesty and sincerity. Every person
who has called upon him conies away favorably ini- -
pressed. He is a better looking man than any of the
portraits make him.”
Testimony of an Enemy.
Gen. Taylor 8 ems to have been particularly fortu
nate in the selection of his Cabinet. The only mem- ,
bn in regard to whose fitness any considerable doubt
ir.iahl have been expressed thus far South, was Judge
CoUaintr.of Vermont The Judge, as a man of learn- j
tug nnd a statesman of exalted views, has de>eiyedly
a national reputation. Few, however, seemed aware |
of his working qu ilities. The following is the testimo
ny on this point of the Washington Correspondent of
the Macon Telegraph , one of the most bitter and u:i- j
scrupulous ol Gen. Taylor’s opponents. The writer
says:
” The selection of Mr. Collamer, of Vermont, to be
Post-Master Geneiul, is the best that coufo nave been
mace. He was nominated to-day. He wotks hard,!
lives close, and is endowed with honesty and excellent 1
column,i sense. The counry is to be congratulated
that tins portiolio has (alien to ins lot.”
Clergy men .Murdered in California.
Among the private letters received in Newark,N. J., 1
Irotn the Pac die by the Crescent Cuy, is one mention
ing a painful rumor that Messrs Newman and Pome- ,
roy, clergymen ol tile Methodist and Baptist Churches, j
had been murdered in the gold region. The letter, says
the Advertiser, is of the laiest date, and comes Irom a
highly respectable source. It relers to the statement j
incidental.y. as if it was a well understood fact, Dut
gives no pauijulars.

Hall, tor the purpose of adopting a system of By-Laws
for its governmet, and otherwise permanently organize
the Association. The meeting was very respectably

manifested in the objects of the Society.
The President lit. Rev. Stephen Elliott, upon taking

ence, the benefits and ultimate success of the Associa
tion, in his usual forcible and happy manner. After
which the Committee appointed at a previous meeting

Association, were called on for their report.
The Committee, through their Chairman, Geo. W.
Fish, reported a series of By-Laws for the organization
and government oi the Association, which, alter being

Colt’s Pistols for Californians.
On the iast nighi of the session of Congress $33,009
was appropriated lor an adiitional purchase from the
inventor ol Colt’s improved repeating pistols, and a
joint resolution was adopted, instructing the Secretary
of War to furnish these arms toe.n.grants going to Cal
ifornia, at the Governmen cost prices. They are thus
advantageously supplied on a written application to
the War Department.
The Advantage of the Printer.
At a recent celebration of the birth day of Franklin
in New York, N. P. Willis thus spoke, and spoke
ttuly:
“ There is no such effectual analysis of style as the
process of type-setting. As he takes up letter by letter,
of a long complex! sentence, the compositor becomes
most critically aware of where the sentence might
have been shortened to save his labor. He detects re
petitions, becomes impatient of redundancies, recog
nizes a careiess or inappropriate use ot expletives and
soon acquires a habit of putting an admiring value on
clearness and brevity. We venture to say that it would
alter the whole character of American literature, if
the authors (ol our very fluent nation !) were compell
ed, before legally receiving copy right, to have given
one year to labor at the compositor’s case. We have
said notiiing ot the art ol nice punctuation, which is
also acquired in a printing office, and by which a style
is made as much more lasielul as champagne by ever
vescing.
“Journeymen printers are .necessarily, well instructed
and intelligent men. It is a part of a proof-reader’s
duty to mark a“ Query” against every passage in a
new book which he d> es not clearly comprehend. Au
thors who know what is valuable, profit by these quiet
estimates of their meaning ; and many a weak point,
that would have ruined a literary reputation if left un
correct for the reviewers to handle, has been noiselessly
put right by a proofreader's unobtrusive “qu ?” Os
most books, indeed, we would rather have the cri
ticism ot workmen in the office where it was printed,
than ot the reviewers who skim and pronounce upon it.
“The following remarks, made by William Cullen
Bryant, are to the point:
“ He drew a briet comparison between the news
paper press and the book press. Books, he said, were
the precious metal in masses—newspapers coined them
lor general use, put them into the most convenient
form and passed them from hand to hand. Newspa
pers, he said are the ushers of books ; who would
know when a book was published but for the friendly
information of the newspaper I H added, that nr
was sometinn s tempted to regret mat the wise, witty,
or eloquent things which appeared iu these “ folios of
(our pages,” as they are called by Cowper, should not
be inscribed on more durable tablets, instead of going
ihe next morning lo wrap parcels or light kitchen tires;
but he was fully satisfied with their late, when he re
flecied th it they had first been read by thousands, and
that whatever was good in them had passed into the
general mind. He then proceeded thus:
“ But not to dwell on distinctions ot this nature, per
mit me, Mr. F esident, to congratulate the society oil
the vast theatre which is opened to the American press.
We print books and periodicals for twenty millions of
people ; but even while I am speaking the number
grows larger. Every vessel that lands passengers on
our coast, brings new recruits to the army of readers ;
it they cannot read or understand our language, iheir
children will do both. Not a settlement is founded in
the woods or prairies of the remote West, where, the
book, the pamphlet, the newspaper does not find its
way ; the press even goesifsell w ith the American set
tler into the wilderness. When 1 see the multitudes
which throng our wharves ready to embark for Cali
fornia, I think not so much of the gold they will sift
iroiu those gauds, a? of the new communities of readers
which they will found in that distant region ; I think
of the volumes printed in New York, whose lea'es
w ill l>e turned on the shores of the Pacific. The time
will come when, this mighty continent being peopled
from ocean to ocean with a race speaking the manly
language of Shakspeare and Milton, the Aniencan
press will be the most prolific nnd the most potent in
its influence ot any that the world knows. May those
influences be as salutary as powerful.”
Texas and Santa Fe.
Our readers are aware that the people ot Texas stren
uously insist that the terntorial limits of their State ex
tend to th? R'o Grande, an 1 of course include all that
part of New Mexico embracing Santa Fe &c, acquired
9y the late Treaty ot Gaudaloupe de Hidalgo. A cor
respondent of the Picayune writing from Santa Fe un
der date of December the 2d says :
“A few weeks since, the jiiigc sent from Texas to
preside over her Eleventh Judicial District, arrived in
town with his sheriff and other dignitaries, for the pur
pose of claiming jurisdiction over the whole of New
Mexico, established by an act oi Texas legislation into
‘ the county of Santa Fe, State of Texas.” Finding
b vould be opposed, lie desired a meeting of the citi
ns, that he might submit his cause to them, which he
■frd with as much ingenuity as the case would permit.
There were two meetings, which I attended,and I found
more appearance ol respectibility and much more tal
ent that I had supposed dwelt in Santa Fe. Jn two
able and well delivered speeches, by a couple ol law
yers residing here, the Texas judge was campietely
floored ;and resolutions were unanimously adopted any
thins but fluttering to the insolent claims of his State
lier sole claim being founded upon a treaty made with
Santa Anna while a prisoner in the hands of Texas.”
Quicksilver in California.
A correspondent writing from California in relation
j to the Quicksilver mines, says:
“ I visited one two weeks since, about 75 miles from
: here, which has been worked for some months. It be
longs I believe, to an English gentleman, by the name
of Forbes, residing at Te.-iic or Mazatlan, Mexico.—
j Somejsf the ore yields 70 per cent ot quicksilv r. I
saw 67 pounds of quicksilver extracted from 150 lbs of
I ore. Thi'ty per cent, is about the average yield. Sil
ver, lead, and coal, have al o been discovered. Iron is
common. Altogether, it is probably the richest miner
al country in the world.”
rKlna Insurance Company.
The .Etna Insurance Company of Hartford lias
made another dividend of $22 per share, making a
total dividend for the last fifteen months of $35 per
share. A surplus of sl2 per share is reserved. The
whole capital ol a quarter of a million of dollars is now
paid up in full in cash, SIOO per snare. The last sale
of the stock was at $l5O per share, before the dividend

Wist fir’s Balsam of Wild Cherry.
FIFTY Thousand Persons die annually in England
of Consumption in the New England States, the pro
portion is one in four or five. In Boston, probably, one
in four. In the city of New York, sixty seven died in
two weeks in December ol tins disease. It is less pre
valent in ibe more Northern laii udes, as Russia, Cana
da, and among the Alps ol Switzerland, where the
winters are long and severe, and there are fewer sudden
changes.
No theory can be more welcome to the human mind
than the one which establishes on good grounds the
hope for prolon ed existence; if the allegations of those
who are at least entitled to veracity may be be'ieved,
there is a preventative and a remedy.
The great Author of Nature has provided us with a
remedy lor Consumption, and the diseases leading there
to, which are so tearfully common in our country ! Has
He left us to find rebel from that fatal scourge by ran
sacking other lands? No, th- best,Nature’s own rem
edy, is at our band. The Wild Cherry and the Pine,
furnish us with a cure, where a cure is possible.
One of th- most important discoveries of the age, in
ameliorating the condition of this large class of suffer
ing humanity, is Dr. W istar’s Balsam of G ifd
Cherry, which has been before the public some ten
years. This valuable medicine was first discovered and
introduced in the year 1838, since which tune its suc
cess has constantly increased the demand, until it has
become one of, il not the most popular remedy iorCon
