Marchl? —wtf A Medicine that never Debilitates dr. sandforfs INYIGORATOR, Oil LIVER REMEDY, IS N ARTICLE THAT EVERT BODY NEEDS WHO IS not in a perfect state of health, for the Liver Is second only to the heart in our human economy, and when that is deran ged the whole vital machinery runs wrong. To find a medicine peculiarly adapted to this disease has been the study of one of rhe proprietors, in a large and extended practice tor the past twent y years, and the result of his experiment isthe Invigorator, as a never-failing remedy where medicine has any power to help. Asa liver remedy it has no equal, as all testify who use it. 4 lady writing from Brooklyn, eays: “Won'dthat 1 could expresr’ln this short loiter the value your Invigorator has been to me fn raising a large family ot children, lor It has never failed to relieve all all affections of the stomach, bowels or attacks of worms. If mothers had th remedy placed within their reach, and were taught how to use it, a tearful and untold amount of agony might be saved. One of our prominent bankers says, “Five or six years ago 1 found myself running down with a liver difficulty; resorting to yeur luvigorator, was greatly relieved, and continuing for a season, was entirely restored.” A clergyman called at our office the other day and said he had given a Door woman a bottle,who was suffering very bad ly from the Liver Complaint, and before she had taken the whole ol it she was at worn earning bread for ner lamily. A gentleman, recently from t e west,says, whileat Chicago, hew satt eked with a slow, lingering lever, that baffled the sMII of physicians, .but the Invigorator cured him iu a few days. Oneof our city merchants said, while on a visit'to Troy, a few days sinee, he was attacked with bowell and st mach disorders, so as to confine him to his room, he sent to the drug store for a bottle of Invigorator. took one dose, which relieved him so that he was ableto. attend his business. An acquaintance, whose business compels him to write most of the time, says he became so .weak as to be unable at times to bold bis pen, while at others sleep would overpower him butthe Invigorator cured him. A gentleman from Brooklyn called on us a week or two since looking but the shadow ol a man,- with his skin’yellow, pale ana deathlike. He had seen for along time suffering from Jaundice and Dyspepsia, and unable to attend to hisbu. siness. We saw him again to-day a changed man, and to use his expression; be has not seen the bottom ol the first bottle, and further adds, “it saved my lite, fori was fast going toa consumptive’s grave. Among the hundreds of Liver remedies now offered ito the public, there are none we can so fully recommend as Dr. San ford’s Invigorator. or Liver Remedy, so generally known now throughout the Union. This preparation yis truly a Liver In vigorator, producing t 1 e most happv results on all who use it. Almost innumerable certificates have beeu given of the great virtueof this medicine by those of the highest standing iu society, and it is, without .doubt; the best preparation now before the public.

From the Mont. Advertiser and Gazette. “I Bring thee a Garland.” BY S. C. M. I bring thee a garland, oh diamond-eyed maid, Its sweet seemed buds in thy dark locks I braid, Love cherished each bloom, with a sigh and a tear, And the sigh and the t-ar Will but make them more dear. And lend them new charms tor each swiit-winged year’ I fill thee a goblet—’tis the heart’s purest wine; Love’s lond-st libation, rich, ripe, and divine, Dipped up from the fountain (hat flows in ihe skies Whose roseate streaming Is bright in its gleaming; As the love stars, that shine in the Heaven of thine eyes! I bring thee a song—and though humble the strain, Love breathes in each note ol the burning refrain, And oh ! that its tones were as wild and as sweet, As ihe music of fountains, Os homes on the mountains, Or the songs which thy lips in thy warblings repeal! TIIE ANGEL GUEST. How pure in heart and sound in head, With what divine affections bold, Should be the man whose thought would hold An hour’s communion with the dead. In vain shalt thou, or any, call The spirits Irom their golden day, Except like them, thou, too, canst say, * My spirit is at peace with all. They haunt the silence of the breast, Imagination calm and lair, The memory like a cloudless air, The conscience as a sea at rest. But when the heart is full of din. And doubt beside the portal waits, They can butiisien at the gates, And hear the household jar wilhin. Tennyson. Advice of Polontus to hta Son. Give thy thoughts no tongue. Nor any unproportioned thought his act- Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. Tire friends thou hast, and their adoption tried Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel; * But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Ol each new-hatched untied -ed comrade. Beware Os entrance into quarrel! but being in. Bear it, that the opposer may beware ol thee Give every man thine ear, but lew ihy voice; Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Cosily thy habit as tby purse can buy, But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy: For the apparel oft proclaims the man. Neithera borrower or a lender be; For loan olt loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This, above atl—to thine own sell be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not be false to any man. Address of the Hon. Thomas L. Anderson of Missouri: House of Representatives, ) Washington City, March 15, 1858. \ To the Voters of the Second Congressional Dis trict in the Stale of Missouri: Fellow-citizens : By your free and independ ent suffrage I became your representative in the Congress of the United States. This high and im portant position was intrusted to me, as I flatter myself, with a full knowledge of my opinions, nev er disguised on any subject, moral or political, which, in an active life among you for more than a quarter of a century, you had ample opportunities of knowing. The flattering majority which I received against one of the most honorable, eloquent, and noble minded men in the district, has created in my bosom feeelings of gratitude that time can never erase; and I should be recreant to every honorable prin ciple did I not acknowledge the very great obliga tions which you have placed me by that unequtv- Fell ow-cft!zMftl°R V ben yo’u'‘*<?tftfi&Teu upon me the responsible position I now occupy, you and I supposed other questions would arise than those fearful and absorbing ones that now distract the public mind and till the patriot’s breast with anx ious forebodings as to the future destiny of his country; I found myself unexpectedly called upon to act without the opportunity of an interchange of opinions with you ; I had, then, no other alterna tive than to meet the responsibilities presented, re lying upon the best lights before me. As your rep resentative I spoke and acted as in my honest judg ment in accordance with the positions and opinions of my life, I deemed most promoiive of my coun try’s honor and the safety of the Union. I came to Congress as an American, looking with an anxious eye to the purity of the govern ment, the perpetuity of the Union, and the peace and prosperity of the country. 1 found but a small number of m'y party to aid in bearing aloft its flag. The whole country was in commotion, and the Congress virtually divided into two parties. One of these was sectional, bent on the agitation of a subject in which my constituents lelt deeply and vitally interested. Born of the North; recklessly urged on by a wild fanaticism that knew no rea sonable bounds, and which must ultimately, unless checked in its unpatriotic purposes, produce not only discord, anarchy and civil war but inevitably rend asunder the ties that bind this Union together. The other a national pariy, pervading all portions of the confederacy, with it- flag unfilled nonh and south, east and west, enunciating doctrines and vin dicating principles vitally important to the South, which principles, if not maintained by the Ameri can people, must result in the production of wrongs and injur es to a large portion of the people of this confederacy, to which they ought not and w ould not submit. My own party in so small a minority as to be powerless as a separate organization. To stand aloof was to accomplish nothing for my party, my district, or my country. To unite with either for my country's good, I must seek the affiliations which my judgment, my life, my knowledge of my constituents, told me advocated the principles most acceptable; duty to you and my country dictated no other course of action. Need I tell you, who have known me so long and so well, that it was ut terly impossible for me, even if I did not assuredly know your sentiments to be in antagonism thereto, to unite with the so-called republican party. With whom, then, was Ito co-operate 1 One other par ty only, (on whom were to devolve the honor of the country and the protection of its institutions,) pos sessing power of doubtful sufficiency to breast the storm of sectionalism, remained ; and I am frank to inform you, my fellow-citizens, that when the time and the necessity for choice came, with whom was I to co-operate in your name and by your author ity, I did not hesitate. I should have deemed myself unworthy to be your representative, unworthy of the chivalrous and patriotic people of Missouri, unworthy of the noble, independent, and Union loving constituency of the second district, had I faltered when the cri sis came. The man who, when the dearest interests of his country are involved, perhaps the very existence’s the Union itself, cannot rise above the selfish con sidesations of party and the tyrannizing influences that not unfreqently trammel the partisan, should never be honored with a public trust. And now, in fuli view of the bitter assaults that have been made upon my course of action, the unjust and mendacious criticisms that have in some instances appeared in the columns of certain newspapers pro fessing to belong to the party that honored me with their confidence, some of whom have evidently mistaken their party affiliations, I reaffirm every political act of mine from the commencement of this Congress to the present hour; I have no ex cuse to plead; I invoke no charity; they are the result of calm reflection and cool deliberation, and 1 submit them to the severest judgment of my con stituents without one moment’s uneasiness as to the result. I knew at the commencement of my congres sional life as well as I now know, that a few of my party with whom I have long differed upon a sub ject of momentous importance to the people ofMis souri and the entire South, and who, I am reluc tantly forced to believe, would have been greatly pleased to have seen me acting with men in this Congress who are almost daily denouncing in the moil vindictive, violent, and degrading terms, my own State, my own people, and its Inititutione, | would ftsitil my political coura of action fcera, and attempt to sink me in your estimation ; still un awed by their frowns, and conscious of my own rectitude, I determined, *ith unwavering fidelity, to look alone to the independent performance of the high and important trust that you had confided to me regardle.-s of personal considerations. My first political act in Congress has been para ded in certain newspapers in my district with the evident design of creating distrust towards me with my own party. That act was my vote for Speaker. There were but two candidates for that elevated and controlling position—Co). Orr, a gen tleman of eminent qualifications, a noble, gener ous, and talented son of the South; one to whom 1 was willing to confide the important duties of that station. He has fully justified my expecta tions and that of the country and I feel well as sured of the wisdom and propriety of my action. Would those gentlemen who condemn this vote have had me to vote for Air. Grow the republi can candidate? If they would they dare not say it. What course, then, should I have pursued lo satisfy gentlemen, some of whom are so anxious to get possession of my “slippers” lhat they can see no propriety in any political act of mine ? I infer that they are of opinion, if I could not have reconciled it to my feelings and judgement to vote for Air. Grow, that I should have abstained from voting entirely, evinced no preference between the two candidates. Is that really the course these gentlemen expected me to pursue, with a knowl edge ofmy views, sentiments and opinions, when they voted for me l If so, they were greatly mis taken. 1 believe i'due to my constituents and the coun try to show, by unmistakable evidences, to the abo liiioni-ts of North, and tl ose lainted with free soil ism at home, that my constituents, acting and speaking through me, had no sympathy with them or their iniquitous schemes; hence, I voted for Col. Orr, and should unhesitatingly, do so again under the same circumstances; and in this act I feel conscious that 1 reflected the will, not only of the greai body of my constituents, but of my party. Sutely,gentlemen who, a few months since, open ly advocated the formation of anew politic I or ganization, under the name and style of the “Union democratic party,” ought not to complain of my acting with the national democratic party in the protection of southern interests, when the result of their proposition would have been to surrender the organization of ihe American parly, blot out its identity andaffiiliate with a party composed mainly of foreigners and free-soilers. Let me here say, (and I know that I utter the sentiments of the great majority of the American party in Alissouri,) this union can never be effected. The sound conser vative men of that parly never can, and never will, submit to a union the inevitable result of which would be to strengthen the free-soil party, and, finally, enable them to trample upon the rights ofa large’portion of the people of Alissouri. That there are efforts being stealthily made in different parts of the State to seduce the American party from their allegiance to the rights of the South must be appearentto all ob-ervers. The distracting slavery agitation is now boldly forced upon us by the fjee-soil party, and will in future he the great question, overriding all others. There is no longer any concealment of the fact that while the Uuion-loving, conservative men of Alissouri have beec silent, inactive, and o; posed to agitation, the free-soil factf ui, with a zeal and energy worthy of a better cause, have been unceas ingly disseminating their principles and augoment ing their lorces. The free-soil papers have airea dy notified us that the time for the supremacy of their principles is at hand. They are confidently proclaiming, even at this Capitol, that the day is near when their party will be triumphant in Mis souri; and when they shall have accomplished their fell purposes in our State, they are to enter other fields in the South, and keep up this eternal ggijjition and war upon slavey territory. Was it to in full view of the operations of the republican party, I would give them “aid or comfqrt,” either by my silence or my acts? Party affiliations shall never prevent me, while your representative - from acting with any other party in their patriotic efforts to resist the aggressions of one portion ft the peo ple of this confederacy upon the rights of another when my own party is unable to accomplish it.— I thank God that I am blessed with sufficient pol itical honesty, and patriotism, and iudependeece to break loose from the shackles of party, and, disre garding the consequences to myself, act for the good of my beloved country, Some of my professed friends say that they are sorry to see me supporting the present administra tion ; then the necessary conclusion is, that they prefer I should act with the abolition, free-soil re publican party in opposing it. There is no neutral ground that J can occupy. I must act with one or the other, or seal my lips and not act at all; there is no other alternative left me. Now, recognising the doctrine that the representative is bound to obey the will ofhis constituency, if these gentle men wilt furnish evidence that renders it even probable lhat a majority of my constituents desire that I should affiliate wfth the republican party, I pledge my honor .hat I will instantly resign, and thus afford an opportunity of selecting a represen tative who will execute their will. I shall, as eve ry honest and independant representative should do, give to the acts of Air. Buchan’s administration a candid and impartial consideration, approving or condemning each measure in accordance with the dictates of my own judgement,and what I conceive to be the best interest of my own country, unin fluenced by ar.y faction of opposition. The other act, in reference to which it is falsely and malignantly said I have knowingly •misr. pre sented the will of my constituents, is my position in regard to the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton constitution. I was well satisfied at the time of the delivery of my Kansas speech tnat I was faithfully reflecting the sentiments of the great body of the American party of Missouri, and especially of my own district ; and I am now more fully confirmed as to the verity of my opinions by numerous letters from gentlemen in every part of my district and Slate—many of them prominent members of the American party—endorsing and fully approving the views and principles enuncia ted in that speech. And 1 now take this occasion to reaffirm every position and sentiment contained in it. Fellow-citizens, I had not expected when I came here ever to be a candidate again. I love too well the quiet pleasures ofa happy home the intimate associations of triends long endeared to me by in numerable marks of kindness and regard, to covet honors in this field of labor and strife. But some —how many I know not—of my constituents have assailed me,and boldly proclaimed that I ha ve wil fvlly misreprented those who have honored me with their confidence. Under this charge, made in Missouri, and rolled under the tongue of black-re publicans here and at home as a “sweet morsel,” Ido not intend to rest. I believe it is untrue.— And now, in order to vindicate my political hon or'and integrity, however much I may regret the necessity, I offer myself to the voters of my dis trict as a candidate for re-election, that thus in me the opinions of the majority of the second congres sional district may be known and vindicated if I have fairly and honestly represented them. To the gentlemen of my district who have so violently assailed my action here in defence of the rights ofthe South, I recomend for their especial consideration, without any comments from me, in order that they may know their fePow-laborers and symdathizers, the following paragraph from the speech ofthe Hon. W. H. Seward, the leader of the Republican party, delivered a few days ago in the Senate of the United States. “To us the path of duty is plain. Henceforth, to the end ofthe struggle, we know all who resist the imposition of the Lecompton fraud on Kansas as brethren, while we regard those who uphold that fraud as deadly enemies, notjmerely to Kansas and the republican party, but to the principles of Ameri can independence, the inalienable rights of man. We believe the anti-Lecompton democrats and Americans in republican districts will be prepared in due time so co-operate in returning republicans, and that thu6 the next Congress will be sure to crush any wrong that may bo driven tbroug i this; bat, be this bi it may, we urge that eve:y earnest arid persistent anti-Lecompton democrat ot Ameri can in this Congress be returned to the next. They will there be sure to find themselves in excellent and abundant company.” Allow me, in conclusion, fellow-citizens, to as sure you that my announcement as a candidate is made from a firm conviction on my part of its ne cessity ; and that, terminate however this may— whether defeated or successful—my name shall never again, with my consent, be presented in con nection with this office. I wish only to vindicate what I conceive to be the best interest ofmy coun try befire my neighbors and the peope whom my intimate associations for twenty-five years have taught me to love. Your obedient servent, THOS. L. ANDERSON. From the Charleston Mercury, 24 insL The Path ot Bafety. In the present gloomly posture of national af fairs—with fights and robbery in. Kansas, fights and corruption in Congress, and desertion on the part of hitherto strong preteudeil Northern friends, eve ry courageous and firm principled Southern man is anxiously seeking the most effective means of defence, and inquiring for the path of safety. Upon this point, onr mind has long since been made up, and without reiterating our views, we are content to present the following patriotic extract from a letter of Hon. M. J. Crawford, Ga.. to the Colum bus Times and Sentinel: Senator Seward, the most sagacious of the Black Republicans, understands better than all his clan the manner of our destruction. He says that twelve months will give them 19 Suites to our 15. and no man understands the future unless he sees the pow er in their hands. Our only safety lies in demanding the full meas ure of our rights, and a demand means nothing unless we intend to enforce it. If Kan-as is reject ed it will be because the has slavery in her Consti tution and nothing else ; if, therefore, the voice of our old Commonwealth is to be disregarded and her 4th Resolution violated, my first allegiance is due to her, and wherever her flag may waive I will follow it, and wherever her rights or her honor may demand my poor services I shall ever be found rea dy to render them. Ail can and may yet go well. Stales should be admitted without reference to sla very, and lhat principle being settled, Southern safety and Southern honor will be preserved, and our people may, and no doubt will, when the ne cessity arises, extend our border and restore our equilibrium in the American Senate. A majority of the^Northern Democrats still stand firm, and I hope soon to see Kansas ride proudly into Ihe Un ion wnh her tackle trimmed and a pro-slavery Constitution floating at her mast head. Yours, &e. MARTIN J. CRAWFORD The Kansas Bill. The following is the only amendment of any importance made to the Kansas bill in the Senalg : “And that nothing in this act shall be construed to abridge or infringe any right of the people as serted in the constitution of Kansas at all times to alter, reform, or abolish their form of government in such manner as they may think proper—Con gress hereby disclaiming any authority tointerven or declare the. construction of the constitution of any State, except to see that it be republican in form, and not in conflict with the Constitution of the United States.” As the people of Kansas assert in their Consti tution no right to alter or amend that instrument in any other mode than that prescribed by the Con stitution itself, it seems to us that the amendment is simply superflous. Though the amendment, strictly construed, amounts to nothing, we would have preferred the bill without it. Where no in lUlLkkuieLtm.JS itegjgped. we Fitly Spoken. Touching Senator Crittenden’s positition on Le compton, and the haste which K N. editors have made to excuse him, the Dallas Gazette discourses as follows: “The speech of Mr. Crittenden and the exculpa tory paragraph copied above, [from a late number of the Alontgomery Mail.—Ed. Adv.] enables one to see into the game that is to be played by the Southern K. N.’s—at least by their leaders. Air. Crittenden, their great leader, declares agaist Le compton, and, quick as lightening, before his prin. ted speech leaves Washington, they make excuses for him. The haste with which they excuse him proves, beyond doubt, that they have only waited for an opportunity to take a position against the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Consti tution, and the Senators from Kentucky has given them thisopportunity. They will embrace it. “Their defection may prevent the admission of Kansas at this session, and then their object will be obtained; which is agitation! agitation! They know very weli lhat the speedy admission of Kan sas would harmonise theDemoeratic party and make it stronger than it ever was. They know that the settlement of this Kansas question would kill the Northern and Southern organizations against the Administration, hence their desire to keep it open Their vitality depends upon agitation. “From the gusto with which they predicted its defeat, we do not believe many of them have ever really desired the admission ,f Kansas, under the Lecopton dispensation, or under any other, at present. We think, now, the Lecompton Constitution will be defeated, and, strange inconsistency ! the South ern KnowJNothing leaders, who will help to defeat it, will charge the Democratic {arty with its failure, as if the party could control such men as Douglas, Wise, and others. As well might the historian de nounce Washington for not preventing the treason of Arnold.” The Kansas Question. —The Naiional Intelligen cer gives the following summary of the speech of Hon. Sydenham Moore, of Alabama, in relation to Lecompton, in the House of Representatives, on Thursday last: Mr. Moore, of Alabama, then addressed the committee in favor of Lecompton, denouncing the Republicans for warring upon the rights of the South. They were treacherously aiming to over throw the Constitution and the Union. The South had borne the aggressions, threats, derision, and insults ot Ihe North as long as they could be borne. Alabama would not act alone in asserting her rights; her sister Stales would stand with her, and ihe North would yet regret that their folly and fanati cism had driven their brethren of the South from them. The South had greater cause for disunion than the American Colonies ever had for separating from Great Britten. He hoped the North had reason enough yet to make her pause. It was an empty pretence that the South was making war upon free labor; all the South wanted was equali ty in the Territories. If the Northern Democra cy remained firm in this crisis treason and mad ambition might yet be thwarted, but if they dese’ ted their colors, as some of iheir leaders had, the days of the Union would be numiiered. Mr. Buchanan a God Father. —We find the fol lowing in the Washington States : “We are to have an intere.-ting ceremonial here soon, when the juvenile daughter of a New York M.

A de junnera lafourchett will follow, and it will be one of the events of the season.” Important Lawsuit. —Nearly one-half of Western New York is held by ihe owners of what is termed the Holland patent. A suit bus lately been institu ted to recover a considerable portion of the lands ofthe Holland company, the authority of one of its agents to dispose of them being disputed. The prosecution is conducted nominally in behalf of two childr n, residing, we believe, in England; but we understand that among other prominent parties, the Bank of England is interested in the matter.— A gentleman of Buffalo is the nominal defendant.— Able counsel are engaged on both eidea, The South Carolina College. The Columbia South Carolinian, of the,27th inst., says : “We regret to state that, on yesterday, the Fac ulty found it necessary to suspend ninety-seven students of the South Carolina College until the first of October next, and live until the first ofAlay. We understand the ostensible cause of difficulty was tlie refusal of the Faculty to allow a suspension of college exercises on Thanksgiving day under municipal recommendation. Upon the professors going|to the chapel and recitation, Thursday morning the benches were found tarred, whereupon the order was given by the professors to the classes to attend at their private offices to recite. The junior and freshman classes, with few exceptions, obeyed thfi order—the seniors and sophomores mosily de eiiued doing so. When called before the Faculty with much unanimity they declined responding to questions. The act of discipline whicli followed was necessary to uphold the essential authority of the government, in which the Faculty was unani mous.” Literary Men In the British Cabinet. Air. Israeli is known as a voluminous writer of prose and verse, politics, history and fiction. Air Walpole the Home Secretary, obtained at Cam bridge University the prize for the best Essay on the Character and Conduct of William 111. The Earl of Malmesbury, Foreign Secretary, has edited the work of his grandfather, the celebrated diplo matist. Lord Stanley, the new Colonial Secretary, one of the most rising young men of the dav, has written several pamphlets on colonial and church questions. Lord John Alanners has written a good deni of poetry, which will hardly compare with Air Tennyson’s. The Palmerston Cabinet also had its quota of literary chaiacters, such as Palmerston himself, who was one of tiie authors of a prose and poeiical satire published in 1819; Sir Geo. C. Lewis, editor of the Edinburg, and a historian ; Duke of Argyle, writer of several pamphlets on the Scottishchurch; Earle oi Carlisle, a poet; and Robt. Lowe, a joint editor of tiie Times. Asiatic Coolies. The Charleston Courier, in its summary of news from Havana by the Isabel, states that “two more American vessels had arrived at Havana with car goes of Asiatic coolies. We are furnished with a table of the statistics of this trade. From this it appears that tiie whole number oi vessels arriving with these slaves is seventy-one, of which the lar ger number are British and American; the number of coolies shipped, twenty-eight thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven ; and the number lan ded, twenty-four thousand six hundred and forty three, showing a mortality, on the passage, of no less than fourteen and one-third per cent. : Travel to California, The Charles'on Courier, says; “From a gentleman who has just arrived in our city from California via Havana, we learn that the steamers Golden Age and Orizaba, which left San Francisco, on the sth inst., for Panama, took down one thousand six hundred and fifty passengers, this being tiie first trip of the (Origaba) opposition line. The passengers were met at the Isthmus by two thousand tour hundred and fit ty passengers bound to California, from New York, brought by tiie steamers Alotes Taylor, St. Louis and North ern Light. The fare across die Panama railroad, a distance of forty-seven and one-half miles, which is made in less than three hours time, is twenty live dollars. All the passengers above alluded to passed over this road.” The Congressional Printing.— The investiga tion ot the House select Committee on Printing, discloses the fact that the printing for the last Cou- Wtifte: some ofttfe corfirriftfee ... , M vr ofa Government Office for the printing and bind ing, unuer tiie charge ot the Secretary of the Inte rior, the others will propose amendments to the present laws, recommending a reduction of 30 per cent, from the present prices. No books exceeding two hundred and fifty pages to be printed, except ing by the joint resolution of Congress, nor any work to be commenced, unless the Executive of ficer from whom it emanates, certifies that the doc ument is complete. The binding is to be given to the lowest bidder under such guards as to prevent the further abuse. In view of the fact that many thousand dollars are now paid annually to three newspapers in Washington, for publishing the proposals for car rying the mails, tiie Committee will recommend that one paper only here be selected for that pur pose, and that greater publicity be given in the States and Territories where that service is to be performed. Also, that Executive control over Post Office ban'ks and other printing for the Department be removed, and the work be let to the lowest bid der. Bursting of a Grind Stone. —About two o’clock on Saturday afternoon, John Birch, an English man, about forty five years of age, was instantly killed by the bursting or breaking ofa large grind stone, in the establishment of Messrs. Drown & Teat'ey, Wood street. He was engaged in grind ing files at the time of the accident. Although warned not to do so, Birch put on an extia pulley in order to increase tiie velocity of the stone, which is driven by steam. The stone was a very large one, and the increased speed, as itstaried, caused it to burst into four pieces Birch was thrown from his seat, his forehead cut open, his nose split and one of his eyas knocked out.— Pittsburg Dis patch. Minnesota. —The bill providing for the admis sion of tiiis Territory as a State was under dis cussion in the Senate on Wednesday last. The preamble is similar to that attached to the Lecomp ton-Kansas act, (Green’s amendment,) published yestsrday. Mr. Pugh’s amendment relative to the applicability of Federal laws (the same as that of fered to the Lecompton bill) was adopted. A dis cussion arose in relation to the number of Con gressional representatives to which Minnesota is entitled, which question at last accounts is not yet disposed of. The Mormon War. —A telegraphic dispatch dated the 24ih instant, at St. Louis,says that a letter from Col. Johnston, ot the Utah expedition, deserbes his march to Camp Scott, .compliments his troops, and says the Mormons have, asfully as words and ac tions can, manifested the intention that they will no longer submit to any government but their own and that the people of the Union must eitiier sub mit to a usurpation of their territory and have a government erected in their midst acknowleding no dependence upon or allegiance to the federal authority, or act with vigor and force to compel them to succumb. He expresses an earnest hope that every exertion may be made to forward sup plies early in the spring under a sufficient guard of mounted men.

Balloon Ascension and Accident. —A serious accident, says the New Orleans Picayune follow ed a late balloon ascension in Baton Rouge.

He has made no confession. Abolition on tiie Decline. —Fred. Douglass complains bitterly that the friends of the abolition of slavery are falling away from the cause, some tor one reason and some for another, ami a good many because its princip es required them to treat the colored man as an equal brother in all the re lations oi lile. There’s the rub—tne abolitionists never were the true friends of the colored race, and after preaching equality and freedom so long to them, they shrink with loathing from the prac tical illustration of their own doctrines, and would almost as soon come in contact with the devil himself as with a “nigger” A Spanish Beauty —What a pretty picture “the senorua,” our landlord's daughter, made wtiiie she knelt near one of tiie great pillars, her hands clas ped together, her large dark eyes almost closed as site looked demurely down w ith their long lashes sweeping her cheek—the cheek through whose clear, paie blown there rushed a bright carmine, fluctuating with each changing emotion. And over her small, delicately shaped head, with its masses of glossv, dark hair, fell the gracelul folds of the mantilla, madtJftimply of black net, deaply bordered with lace, and therelore, transparent enough to show clearly tiie sligh'ly aquiline riose and its proudly cut nostrils, and the curves of her full, red lips, tiie upper one shaded—dare we say it, fair English maidens?—with just the. very least ittle black moustaches that ever grew on Spanish lip! . You may not think it sounds pretty or looks, had seen tiie reality.—Bentley’s Mis. The Turkish Lion. —Mohammed Pasha is hav ing a great time of it in Washington. He has vis ted the Presidert, ihe Secretary of Sta'e and other officials; received visits himself, and altogether is in fair way of becoming a lion at the “centre of fashion and inteiligeuce.” The Washington States says : It is reported that since his arrival in ibis coun try, on a certain occasion, a lady was admiring an elegant Cashmere shawl worn by the Admiral.— He gallantly took it t om his shoulders and laid it upon her own, to witness its effect, or peruaps mo mentarily to gratify her vanity.
