From the Washington Union, Feb. 8. 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. ; Buffalo Courier. < 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. " [ Baltimore Patriot. 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 n jail. On the same niirht on which this occurrence >f took place, a murder was committed m Effingham, and it is believed by some that the prisoner mar have some knowledge of it. Sir. Bear., Feb. 10. The Nicaragua Minister.— Secretary Marct has addressed the following note to Col. Parker U. French, the minister from Nicaragua: Department of State, / Washington, Feb. 7,1 soG. >’ Sir: 1 have received your letter of the sth mst., with a copy of your letter of credence, and laid them before the President. lam directed by him to reply to your request to be received as Minister Plenipotentiary to this government from the Re public of Ni 'aragua, that he lias again taken the subject into deliberate consideration, but has not seen sufficient reason for changing the determina tion made known to you in my letter of the 21st of December last. I am, sir, your most obedient servant, W. L. Marcy. 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. [ X> atari,- Advertiser, Feb. 5. ; 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. Items. General Hornsby, the second in command in Walker's army in Nicaragua, is in Washington city. Hott. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, declining to receive anv compensation lbr his lecture on slave ry, the committee, at his request, that the amount should be given to a society for aiding emigrants, have paid over the sum of one hundred dollars to the German Emigrant Aid Society of this city.

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.
