Correspondence of the Baltimore American. Wisni notow, Jan. 3. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The two Houses of Congress were opened this morning for the first time in the session with prayers from the Rev. Mr. Crookman, Chaplain of the Senate. After the Journal had been read, Mr. Jenifer, of Md. asked permission to make a statement in reference to a speech which appeared lately in (he Globe. Leave being granted, Mr. Jenifer said he asked the indulgence of the House in a matter which personally concerned himself. Ido not rise to ask a correction of the Journal, but for the pur pose of pointing attention to a report of tire pro ceedings of the House which took place on Tuesday last. In the Globe of 'Tuesday even ing, which purports to give a sketch of the de bate upon the resolution of a gentleman from . Pennsylvania. (Mr. Sergeant,) to alter the 20lh rule of the House, to allow further time for the daily presentation of petitions, 1 find the follow, lowing. (Mr. J. here read the report of the ' speeches of Mr. Bynum and Mr. Garland.) The distance of my seat, said Mr. J. from the member from North Carolina, and the usual want W of order in the Hall, prevented me from distinct ly hearing what was then said. Three days ha ving elapsed since the remarks appeared in the •" Globe, and as far as I have seen, without correc tion, I have therefore lo infer that tliey were eith er expressed on the floor, or authorised lo be re ported. Had 1 heard them, Ido not know that I should have noticed them, well knowing that they would be properly appreciated by gentlemen here. But as they have appeared and been sent throughout the country, it might be expected that some response should lie given. I wish it to be distinctly understood that I do do not rise lo com plain—tnat 1 do not feel aggravated—that 1 lake no offence at what may have been said, or report ed to have been said, coming from that quarter.— But aregaid for the kind opinion of friends, and a respect for myself, which I hope ever o retain, requires that I shoult define my position in rela tion to the member from North Carolina. Since the 7th day of June, 1836, (a day which the member no doubt well remembers,) I have purposely avoided noticing any thing he might say, or in any manner coming in contact with him, well knowing that no laurels were to lie gained where even victory would be disgraceful. Under these circumstances, my friends need feel no apprehension on my account, but to avoid misunderstanding, and to do justice to myself, I desire it to be also understood that, if upon any occasion I have or may wound the feelings of any gentleman, I shall always hold myself bound to make honorable atonement, or meet him in any honorable way. Bui he must be a gentleman, worthy the notice of any honorable man. Mr. Bynum made but a brief reply. He was responsible for what he said in the House and out of it, and any man could get from him any sort of satisfaction he might desire. The 7th of June alluded to was as honorable to him as to Mr. J. Mr. Bynum said he did not mean to be personal towards Mr. J. When he used the term bully he meant no more than champion. They were all one to him. Mr. Stanley demanded to know of Mr. B. whe ther he meant to apply the terra bully to him, in an offensive sense. Mr. Bynum said he meant no more than cham pion, when alluding to his colleague. He used the word in a political sense. Mr. Stanley then alluded to the character of the intercourse between him and Mr. B. He had taken, he said, opportunity lo insult him, and de signed to do so at the last session, but his chival rous colleague bore it meekly. Mr. Bynum, much excited, here said, “If W e are to have a fight, let us have it m the Rotunda. I will meet the gentlemen there.” Mr. Stanley made some other remarks of a per sonal character and very insulting to Mr. B. when the Speaker preserved order. Mr. Keim, of Pa. then announced the death of Mr. Porter, of Penn, elected to this Congress, but who died last autumn. The House then adjourned, after a motion from Mr. Thompson, of 8. O. to reconsider a vote of the House and adopted on Tuesday fur the print ing of 5000 extra documents referring to the Florida War. UNITED STATES BERATE. A discussion in the Senate, to-day, though not originally a personal matter, became so. Mr. Calhoun brought forward his Bill in relation to )the Public Lands, proposing to cede them to the States wherein they lie. He concluded with mo ving a reference of the hill to the Committee of Public Lands, of which Mr. Walker, of Miss, is Chairman. The motion and subject matter of the bill led to a debate between Mr. Oalhonn and Mr. Clay of a somewhat personal character. I heard but a part of the discussion, but it was the most interesting, I may suy, all in all, that I have ever heard. Mr. Clay had asked Mr. Calhoun if this bill had the approbation of the President of the Uni ted States, and of the friends of the Administra tion. The question was an important one, as the Senator had recently allied himself with the Administration. [Mr. Clay alluded to the meet ing between the President and the Senator from South Carolina, which has been spoken of for some days past ] The allusion did not suit Mr. Calhoun, and in a manner more angry than I have seen before, he commenced a reply which I am told was most ly of a personal and exciting character. He ac knowledged, however, that the leading measures of the Administration met with his approbation, and should receive his support. I heard Mr. Calhoun speaking of the Compromise Bill when I’entered the Senate Chamber, and of his associa tion and the connexion of Mr. Clay with that fa vorite measure. Upon that occasion, said the Senator from South Carolina, “I was the master of the Senator from Kentucky”—“l was his master”— repeated Mr. Calhoun, much excited—l forced the compro mise upon him—he could not help himself—he was driven to it, and by me.” Mr. Calhoun then alluded to the opposition of a Senator—(not now in this place)—to the Com promise Bill—meaning Mr. Webster. He inli ii aled that Mr. Webster had also driven Mr. Clay to the position he took But, said Mr. Calhoun the Senator from Kentucky is the author of the compromise Bill. 1 claim it not. The South claims it not. He alone is the author of the measure—or rather of the system which has plun dered the South and exhausted my constituents. M. C. then made some remarks to prove that he had been consistent in all matters pertaining to the Tariff. He had a plan of his own which for seven years he had adhered to unceasingly, and without change or shadow of turning. In conclusion, he said, he had acted from necessity in making the remarks he had given utterance to and from a respect lo the gallant little Stale which he represented. In regard lo the compromise he claimed a higher compliment than being the au thor of such a measure. He took a higher ground than any which could refer to such a measure—and it little became the Senator from Kentucky to charge that measure upon him, by intimating that ho was even forced into the sup port of it. Mr. Clay rose for the third time. lam sorry, he said, to be obliged to prolong this debate. I made no personal allusion to the Senator from S. C. and said nothing to have caused him to exhib it so much violence and passion as he has exhib ited on the present occasion. Ills strange that he should have taken so much offence at what I did say—strange that he should allude to his connexion with the Administration so fretfully after having publicly gone over to it—and to the compromise act so feelingly, when he hitnseif was forced into the measure. He should remember, said Mr. Clay, that he has gone over to the au thors of the Force Bill—to the hot opponents of Nullification, and therefore, after his public adhe sion, he should not be excited when told of his al liance. “ He says,” continued Mr. (/lay, “that he is my master.”—My master,! I would not own him for my slave. (Laughter,) “He my master,” indeed. Mr. Clay here spoke plainly though ap parently not much excited of Mr. Calhoun’s ego tism. (The Senator from South Carolina had said that Mr. Clay wa- fiat upon his back at one poiiodot the compromise discussion.) “Flat up on tny back” as I was, continued Mr.-Clay, I was 1 enabled to force the Compromise Bill through the Senate in spite of the hottest opposition, and ■ the most strenuous exertions. In spite of all oppositioH the measure was carried and yet ! ‘ the Senator from South Carolina in the ex- j t cess of egotism and arrogance, tells us that he I 1 wrote homo letters that I was “flat u|>on my I 1 backand yet that the compromise bill was car- i t ried. Mr. Clay then alluded to the importance of ' ’ the compromise bill, and to the position of the , ! country at the lime of its adoption. I saw, said he, the noble and gallant Slate of South Carol!- j na in an unfortunate condition—badly piloted as I j * thought, and in a sea of trouble. I was anxious i > to rescue her if I could; to slop the shedding of j human blood, lo rescue the country from the civil war which was threatened. I had no other and 1 no higher ambition, in those “troublous times i which tossed the private stole and rendered life unsweet,” than to serve my country. The com promise act was designed lo do this, and in the language of another Senator, to obtain a lease for years of an important public matter. In this spirit I brought forward from two great measures the print pie of compromise. “But,” continued Mr. (,'lay, “the Senatorfrom South Carolina, in order to display still further, a peculiar trait of character,—his great vanity,— says that from this day forth all obligations are cancelled between him, South Carolina, the South and myself. All obligations are cancelled for South Carolina and the South. Sir, what right has he to speak for the South and myself! What right even lo say that all obligations are this day cancelled, between even South Carolina and myself! If the future can speak as plainly as the past, the day is not far distant when even South Carolina will repudiate the assumption of her Senator. The day is not far distant when such an event may happen,” “My race,” continued Mr. Clay, with great im pressiveness of manner, “is pretty nearly run. I have nothing to ask from the South—nothing, nothing, nothing. Nothing from my country. Nothing least—even of all the men I know of— from the Senator from South Carolina. Cancel ling obligations, indeed, between me and the South ! Sir, I have in times past, and to the best of my ability, served my county. No human being—no power on earth—not all mankind can rob me of that consolation which I shall take with me to my retirement.” Mr. Calhoun here said a few words, and re marked that he should not reply to the personal remarks of Mr. Clay. He could not conceive what motive had prompted the Senator to ask the question he had, and to be as he conceived, so personal in his remarks. He did not like these personal altercations, but felt bound todefend him self whenever and whereever and by whomsoev er attacked. Mr. Clay immediately rose and said, “a single word byway of closing. Docs not the Senaior from South Carolina feel that he has provoked this discussion and brought upon himself what ever observation I have seen fit to make! I put it to the Senator, and to the Senate, whether I have given utterance to any remark which should have aroused so much passion and feeling from him. I merely put a question to him—a ques tion involving the interest of one hundred mil lions of acres of the public domain, and herein is the cause of all this excitement.” Here closed the personal part of the discussion, Mr. Clay having the last word. The bill of Mr. Calhoun was referred lo the Committee on Public Lands—l>ut a motion was made to reconsider, which was lost 10 to 12. Mr. N. F. Dickson of R. I, and Mr. Grundy of Tenn. were both sworn in to-day, and after an Executive session the Senate adjourned. From the New Orleans Sun, Jan. 2. From Texas. The steam packet Neptune, Pcnnoyer, arrived at this port yesterday morning, from Galveston, in 37 hours, having experienced very boisterous weather on her passage, and fully testing hei ca pabilities as a staunch sea boat. The Neptune brought a goodly number of passengers, and 700 letters. Wc copy the following items of intelli gence from the Galveston Gazette of the 28th , ult,: Mr. J. R. Jones has been appointed Postmaster General. The sale of Galveston city lots, which com menced on the 23d, went off as well as was ex pected. Lots brought an advance of from 30 to 40 percent, above the former sales. Building, which seemed to progress less rapid ly than before for a month or two in the fall, is now proceeding with a fresh impetus in this city. As many houses, and more large and fine houses, are now going up than at any former period. The sloop of war Austin, lias not yet arrived, although she is daily expected. Her length is 136 feet, 32 feet beam, and about 600 tons bur then ; but with her armament and stores aboard, she will not draw more than eleven feet water.— She is pierced for 20 guns, medium 24 pounders, and has a poop cabin and six store rooms, besides pantries, &e. She is said to be the most, perfect model ever turned out at Baltimore, celebrated as that city is for her vessels. The Gazette says a great many persons are under the impression that they can get out their certificates of head-right at any time after the Ist of January. 1840 ; hut ns it is probable there will be very little business before the Board after that tin e, there is no certainty that it will he in session.

W vsitt NiiTON, December 10. I promised to give you the particulars of every j thing stirring here, and 1 shall of course keep my word and do so. VV c had one of the greatest i rows to-day, that you ever did see. I here was a tull attendance i* Uiu House of Representatives of the crazy politicians of both parties; hut there was so much, aunfusion and disorder that it was difficult to hear one halffthat was uttered. Mr, Adams began the day’s werk. By informing the House that Mr. Duncan hacß die floor. Mr. Wise swore that he had’iit the floor, and shouldn’t have it if he could help it Mr. Rhctl said that Mr. Wise had a d d sight too much to soy, and that he was always bothering himselfubuut affairs that didn't concern him. Mr. Wise replied that Mr.Khotfc was ad d fool, and he could lick him. 1 he chair here celled the house to order. Mr. Wise sworn that the H *use was not out of order, and contended that tbit-privilege of speech and thought was one ol the proudest prerogatives ot u freeman. He for one did not mean to be cheated out of it by Mr. A dams, or any other d——d old fool. Cries of “order!” here resounded from every part of the house. “J* ® h 1 with your cries of ‘order !' said Mr. Wise. ‘Nobody is cut of order, I won’t submit to be gagged by any man or set' of men, I don t care who the h——ll they are.” “ Ihe floor is mine !” hallowed Mr. Duncan, “ and I'm d --dis I doiVb think it’s my turn to speak.” “I m d—d if you dw> speak!” cried a voice that couldn’t be recogn izad. “ I’m d——d if I doih’l!?’' reiterated Mr. Dun can. “The chair has decided that I have the floor, and I will lose tbie- last drop of my heart’s blood in defence of my rights. Who was that ‘1 >1 scoundrel that jaat now said I shouldn’t have the floor 1” “Order!” cried the shoir,. “ Show me the d——d scoundrel!” repeated Mr. Duncan. “I shoiddljpst like to have a clip at him.” “ Til fight you,” s; tali Mr. NayJor, “ifyou want t« fight so d—d had.

Here Che combatants were led out of the hall, and wa-bed the blood from their faces. Naylor ipat on tas-coutand returned: tothe scene of dis ■ordi-r, and Duncan started oil'in search of an oc ulist to get his eye fixed in again. I have given you only a taint sketch of the re ality. The row is slid going on, and the Lord only knows when or where it will end.

Now as the Gazette man fathers the creation by admission, and says he named it himself, wc give up to him ; what we are about to contend for is that the declension of the verb Swartwout, reasoning from analogy, would make it Swart woul ised instead of Swart wnuled, as it generally appears. Let us have fair play and examine the words scientifically.— Here is the veth abquatulate, the derivation, de clension and definition thereof: squat, to sit down; atmqnat, to get up; absqualulisc, to he off; absqualntlised , gone—gone, for instance, to !

Picayune. New Orleans as it Was an» is.—Thefel lowing little paragraph from the Courier of the 20 h ult. exhibits in a striking light the rapidity with which New Orleans has advanced to her present magnitude and importance; while it fur nishes a gratifying.argument in favor of rrpubli ean forms of government: 'l'llirty six years ago, at noon, the flag of the United States replaced the flags of France and Spain, on the public square and in the five forts which then defended New Orleans. At that time the population of the city numbered between 8 and 10,000 souls. What is it now? In all probability ten times as numerous. The first house Guilt in New Orleans was in 1717—hut no-plot was made if the city until 1729. During the 46 years the French held Louisiana, the population of the city increased to a little over 3000; and it rather more than doub led in the 37 years the Spaniards were masters. However remarkable may seem the increase of the population of thin city, under a republican form of government, that of its trade is a hundred fold greater, ih thirty-six years it has attained the rank of the second commercial mart in the Now World. SfcNßtTivßVKss.—lt is a great mistake in some people, to fancy that'it is due to themselves to take up, anil formally contradict every remark derogatory to themselves, which their eyes may light upon, or their ears hear. The best way to treat such things, is silent contempt; for to notice them is to acknowledge that you deem t iem wor thy, of refutation. You thus impugn your own character, and endorse the statement of one ene my in the eyes of all others. Wc have ever found it the safest and the most prudent way to pass over such light matters.— An uncontrailieted falsehood, in nine cases in ten, is an unbelieved one; hut the moment you put yourscll to the trouble of noticing it, you give it currency and weight.
