Congressional.
Washington, Feb -Soxate —Mr. Cass submit
ted a resolution, which lies over, directing the
Committee on Na val Affairs to inquire into the ex
pediency of making provision for increasing the
navy of the United States.
Bills were passed directing the payment to Hon.
George P. Marsh for judicial services rendered bv
him while minister resident at Constantinople,
and also relieving the Commissioner of Pensions
from the performance of certain clerical duties.
Several other bills were introduced, and referred.
The resolution in relation to the preparation of
general appropriation bills by the Finance Com
mittee of the Senate was then taken up, and dis
cussed until the hour of adjournment. Messrs.
Hunter, Toombs, and Toucev advocated it, and it
was opposed by Messrs. Seward, Sumner, ami
Wilson. It was at length adopted, without a
division, and the Senate adjourned until Monday
next.
\ |Hor-«or Representatives.— Mr. Grow, of Penn
sylvania, gave notice of his intention to introduce
t>. bill to secure homesteads to actual sellers on the
public lands. Mr. Millson, of Virginia, gave no
tice of bis intention to introduce a bill to repeal
the act, authorizing the naval board. The customa
ry resolution was adopted authorizing the Speaker
to appoint the standing Committees of the House.
After a protracted discussion in regard to proceed
ing to the election of a printer, a motion to adjourn
over to Monday prevailed. An ineffectual attempt
was made to take up the resolution oi the Senate
for the relief of the suffering poor of \\ ashington
and Georgetown.
From, the Flunrsville ■ Ala.) Advocate.
The Tennessee, Valley published at Gutitersville, j
Ala., comes to us much improved in appearance, i
Itis edited by Judge Benj. F. Porter, lie is an J
honest, pure and able man. We are glad to see ;
that he has seen the futility of Know Notbingism j
as a security for the rights of the South, and unites !
with the Democracy again. Judge Porter, last i
summer, took the stump in defence of Sam, but :
he now sees that to defend his monstrous heresies |
would he wrung iu every respect. We copy a por- '
tion of his exposition of the creed of the Tenners- j
nee Valley, which we commend to present Know 1
Nothings:
“Everv success which bus been achieved by the
American party, at the North, has been upon the
platform of the Abolition Seceders. The idea of
nationality there, is war, uncompromising war, up
on Southern Institutions. Even Southern men,
- advise the abandonment of the slavery clause of the
platform to insure success ; (see Botts’letter,) the i
Northern party selected Banks, and voted for him
on a pledge of using his official position as Speak
er in Congress to destroy the South (see Gid*
ding’s letter i. For one month Congress lias been
engaged in a fruitless attempt to elect a Speaker, j
The votes have been divided between Banks, a j
Black Republican, pledged against the South;
Fuller, elected on and against tiie Nebraska is
sue; and Richardson, who is unequivocally iden
tified with the support of the South, on this ques
tion. Jt. is not for ns to decide what others
should do. But if we had controlled the vote cast
for Fuller, it would have seemed to us, that true
nationality, true devotion to the interests of the
whole country, good faith to the South, would
have made it a patriotic duty, to have cast those
votes for Richardson. We would have felt that,
even if Fuller were not obnoxious to objection
on the grounds above mentioned, the contin
uance of the struggle would have strengthened
the chances of the success of Banks, the agent of
ihe open disorganizing Freesoil faction. If the
American party, as it now stands, is national, why
should it hesitate to rally to the support of the
South, or the slavery question? What do the
rights of the South involve, hut national rights?
Is not. slavery an element of the Union, a creature
of the confederation, a principle of the Constitu- I
ti m ? And what can be more national, than the
support of the Union, and obedience to the Con
stitution? Are the politics of Seward, of Greedy,
of Banks, and of Giddings national? Is Abolition
national? Is the robbery of the slaves of the
South national ? Gentlemen may put the question
in anv shape, or involve it in any poetic declama
tion thev please. To this complexion must it come
at last, that a man mast either he for the South, or
against her. God forbid that we should be for her
at the expense of the Union and the Constitution.
But believing that if she falters, she is lost; and
that when trodden down bv fanatics of the North
the Constitution and the Union are crushed with j
her, we declare our unalterable determination to
stand with those men who stand firmest iu her tie- !
fence. We know that in doing this we also stand [
by our country, Imr Union, and her Constitution. |
The rights of the South can only he wounded
through them, and against the blow we are re- j
solved to place whatever strength we have. In her ;
quarrel, in such a cause, ‘ Whoever dallies, is a
dastard, and whoever doubts is damned.’
“We will not say that the true interests of the
country do not require a faithful observance of the ]
Naturalization laws. But this is a matter which t
refers to the policy of the administration of the
government. The right of the South to her slaves,
the observance of the Fugitive Slave law, are |
principles of the Union and the Constitution; ,
therefore, with us, whatever is a matter of policy
must be deferred to the contest, which involves
what is a great and important principle. With re
gard, however, to the naturalization laws, it could s
not he expected of us to advocate their amend
ment, to the extent of wholly proscribing foreign- > .
ers, or of fettering opinion in religious belief. The ! J
blood of an Irish emigrant, and 'hat of ancestors,
who elmd blood, with claymore iu hand, for the ! !
sovereignty .if Scotland, mingles in our veins.
Then how stands the ease? A settled hostility I
prevails against the South, absorbing every other | t
consideration. Black Republicans, Freesoilers, ! <
men of everv hue, are combining to destroy her j t
Institutions, to promote servile wars in Uer bor- j I
ders, to deprive her of till the advantages of the j :
Union, to forbid her all Constitutional guarantees, j t
Shall her sons be divided? Shall we, who in eve- !
rv emergency have stood by Southern rights, stand i
skulking with a minority which professes nothing,
which can effect nothing, while the men with
whom we united in former times, are in the heat
and toil of a battle, involving all that is valuable
in our national inheritance? < > titers may put them
selves in whatever attitudes, or quote whatever po
etry thev please, they may declare that their backs
are against a rock, which, ‘from its base shall fly I
sooner than they,’ or, that ‘ they strike for their |
country and their sires.’ For ourselves, if we put i
our hack anywhere, it shall be against the traitors 1
who assail the Union, through the South ; if we
strike for anything, it shall be for negroes and cot- |
ton fields.
From the Xational InUViqenerr.
At the close of his administration, several per
sonal friends of Mr. Fillmore, irrespective of party, )
decided to employ Ur. Stone (an artist whose '
faithful execution of the busts of Chief Justice j
Tauev, Judge Wayne, and others, had been great- i
lr admired', to execute a bust of Mr. Fillmore, to
be placed m the Executive mansion.
The sum of tire hundred dollars was promptly
subscribed by members of Congress, Judges of ,
the Supreme Court, and citizens of Washington, i
Baltimore, Ac., but no adequate provision was
made for a pedestal, and it remained in I)r. Stone's j
studio, where it was accidentally seen by President j
Pierce, who, on learning that there were not funds
sufficient to procure a pedestal, generously direct
ed Dr. Stone to have one constructed at his ex
pense.
This act as liberality, however, was not required,
the members of Mr.' Fillmore’s Cabinet having
supplied the deficiency : hut the noble spirit which .
dictated it cannot fail to be gratifying to the
friends of both.
Preparing for War.— The recent rumors set
atloat by the Washington correspondents of the
New York papers, of a suspension of friendly in
tercourse between the United States and Great;
Britain, have alarmed the good people of Canada, :
and they are making preparation for war. The j
Rochester Union is informed bv a gentleman di
rect from Toronto, that fourteen loads of ammuni
tion are now ou the road from Kingston to Toron
to. Each load is drawn by four horses, and Mink,
the stage proprietor, is to receive sl2hd for the ;
transportation service. This looks warlike-as if
the people of the provine * were alarmed. The
transportation of ammunition by land such a long
distance is unusual, and must cause some excite
ment among the people along the frontier towns.

Huxrt Winter Davis.- There is a good deal of
surprise, aud some indignation manifested in this
city, with reference to the vote cast bv Henrv Win
ter Ila vis. Esq., on the fourth and final ballot for
Speaker, under the plurality rule. As various ex
planations are afio.it. some of which are puerile,
and all are unsatisfactory, we should be glad to
. learn from Mr. Davis, personally, the reasonswhich
governed him in refusing to accept an alternative .
• which was adopted by the remainder of the Mary
’ land delegation. We neither censure nor praise
Mr, Davis for the course he has pursued; but as
bis tinal vote is regarded bv many of his best
frit nds as a singular one, he would consult iiis
’ ■ reputation, and put a stop to idle rumors, in mak
'. ing public the niotivec by which he was actuated,

j CouMtTTisn for Triai,.— William C. Ryerson,
i connected wilt Robinson & Eldred’s Circus, was
, brought before Justices Connell and Wilson yes
terday, charged with an assault with intent to kill,
a negro man named George, property of Richard
Williams, Esq., of Effingham county, on the night
of the 7th inst. After due examination, the ac
r cused was bound over for trial at the next term of
d the Superior Court, and in default of the required
n bail, fixed at $4,000, committed to Chatham county

The Wav in which it was Done. According to
accounts life among the Republicans and North
ern Know Nothings yesterday, the votes given by
Messrs. Broom, Whitney & Co., for Mr. Aiken, on i
Friday, were only so given in order to throw dust j
in the eyes of the Democrats. These accounts al
so say that if their votes had been necessary on j
the final trial to secure the election of Mr. Banks, j
he would have received them ; their purpose of I
creating the impression at the South that the si- j
mon-pure Know Nothings of the North were dis
posed to stand by the right of the slaveholding
States, having, as they thought, been secured by
their act of so long preventing an organization, un
der the pnUne* of indisposition to drill under the
command of Mr. Giddings.— Wash ington Star.
George Law.— The Hudson county (N. J.) Dem
ocrat says, that the reason of George Law’s not se
curing any of the delegates to the National Anteri
ern Convention from this State was, that a well
known agent of his attempted to bribe Juo. 11.
Lyon, of Jersey City, with a certified check of S2OO,
which Mr. Lyon accepted, but did not use, return
ing it again after some time. This fact was made
known bv Mr. Lyon, and thence Mr. Law’s defeat.

; Saltpetre in Tennessee. —A Tennessee papoi
has the following statement in reference to the
j manufacture of Saltpetre in a portion of that State:
j —“ The caverns of East Tennessee, at least a great
number of them, contain immense quantities of
the nitrous earth from which saltpetre is manufac
tured. This is no new discovery. Many years
ago, its manufacture was carried on in several lo
calities, though ton limited extent. Then the fa
cilities for operating were limited, and this section
of country being cut off from all the principal mar
kets, the cost of transportation, combined with the
•expense of working it, rendered its manufacture
profitless, and it was abandoned.”
Tunnels. —The United States have sixty-four
tunnels on canals and railways, the longest of
which is about one mile. England has forty-eight
canal tunnels, of an aggregate length of forty
miles, the longest, being three miles ; site has also
seventy-nine railway tunnels, forty-nine of which
amount to thirty-three miles, the longest being
three miles. The longest tunnel known is in
Subeinntiz, in Hungary, about eleven and a-half
miles; it is used to drain an extensive series of
mines, and for transporting ore on railway cars.
In France there arc fifty-six tunnels on railways;
also eight on canals -thirty-six of which have uu
aggregate length of fifty-four and two-fifths miles.
A Petrified Indian.— -AVhile engaged in exca
vating recently, upon the Milwaukie and La Cross
railroad, near Schlesengervillo, lowa, the workmen
came upon the petrified remains of an Indian, and
with the remains some singular relics of olden
times. The body was perfect, not having suffered
by decay. His height at the present time would
be considered gigantic, measuring seven feet two
inches. On his breast was a plate of copper, on
which were engraved numerous hieroglyphics, the
meaning of which can hardly be imagined. An
arrow of considerable strength and construction
was also found with him.
The ladies of New York have recent h began
to learn wisdom from experience. Instead of Urn
tissue paper shoes, in which so many in winters,
heretofore, marched to the grave of consumptives,
they now wear leather or india rubber boots while
in the streets; and, these boots, instead of the
shape ordiearly worn, are high-heeled, and high
topped like men's. In a sanitary point of view,
this change cannot ho too highly estimated.

THE CRITERION;
A liter akt and critical weekly journal,
16 Paffts, 4f<?,
MTTK7 AS commenced on the third ot November,
9 1855, and has thus far received very gen
eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence,
; and place it upon a substantial basis of support,
the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the
j attention of the thinking public of America to its
; claims upon their consideration.
The main feature of the CRITERION is its Re
tie ue rtf Current Literature. In this department
are given thorough and able criticisms of all the
most important books as they are issued, pointing
out their chief characteristics, and indicating their
moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform
ed of all new publications which deserve their at
tention.
IT ALSO CONTAINS
Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary
World; Gossip concerning Books and Writers;
Announcements of contemplated Publications; and
Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe.
The Drama, Music, Fine Arts aud Science, also
receive attention, and several columns of carefully
selected and agreeable matter are given in each
number. In addition to the above .there is a de
partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter
t lining character, carefully selected from new books
and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of
Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety
of curious and valuable information.
it is confidently believed that a journal such us
the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect
upon our national literature, and to some extent
upon our national character. It will be found es
pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth
to works of real excellence, and encouraging an
appreciation for valuable reading, which is being
rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial
and sophistical books. To the reading man the
literary intelligence alone must render it very de
sirable; and to all who wish to promote an im
provement in taste, the encouragement of merit,
and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious
style, mock sentiment, and etui principles, such an
enterprise cauuot—at least, should not —be indif
ferent.
To members of Historical, Literary and .Scien
tific Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs,
the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all
times, prove of peculiar interest, and l it-is the de
sign of the editors to thoroughly canvass, from
time to time, those important philosophical ques
tions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting
false theories, and encouraging profitable investi
gation.
The CRITERION is published at $3 per annum,
payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad
vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application
to the Publisher. CHARLES R. RODE,
