So much business has been transacted during
last night and to-day, that I am unable to more
than begin to report to-day’s proceedings. I will
continue them to-morrow, however, and endeavor
to give to-day’s proceedings in two reports.
Yesterday "the Clerk informed me that there were
over two hundred bills requiring action in the Sen
ate ; and to-day fifty-two of them have been deci
ded upon. The members seem determined to ad
journ to-morrow night, any how, and have set to
work with zeal and in good earnest. A.
31 r. Seward, of Georgia.
In the representative branch of Congress, on the
26th 111 st., Mr. Seward, of Georgia, asked and ob
tained leave of the House to make a personal ex
planation. it was well known to the House and
tiie country that at the time the election of tin
Speaker of the House took place he was absent.
Certain papers had thought proper to arraign him
before the country for a dereliction of duty on that
occasion, and he proposed, therefore, saying some
thing in regard to the views which lie entertained
on tiiis subject, and to put himself right before the
country.
When lie left Washington, he paired off, hut the :
time for which he paired off expired before he rc- '
turned. The object of this attack upon him was !
to endeavor to iix upon him, acting with the Demo- !
cratic party, the responsibility, ai least partly, ol
placing the present Speaker in the chair which he !
now occupies. He was sure that the Speaker l
would not entertain an opinion that he sympathised i
with him in his political sentiments. He did not
believe, when he left, that the Democratic party
had the power to elect a Speaker, nor did he be
lieve that that party, calling themselves the Ameri
can party here, ever intended that any Democrat
should occupy that chair, and the result showed it.
The members of the American party, who had
been voting for Mr. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, the
day preceding the election of the Speaker, voted
for Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, on a resolution
declaring him Speaker, and thereby induced the
Democratic party to believe that if the plurality
rule was adopted, his election might be secured.
The plurality rule was adopted on the succeeding
day, and the gentleman wlio now occupies th<
chair was elected by the default of four or five si j
the gentlemen who had voted for Mr. Aiken on the j
day preceding to give their vote to him. He had i
said at home to his constituents, and said here, I
that if this government was to be sectionalized, a j
better time had never been presented to the people j
of the country for it to take place than at this mo- 1
ment, because, so far as the Constitution was con- !
corned, and the institution of slavery under it, the
Senate stood secure against the attacks which Free- I
soilers and Abolitionists might make upon that j
institution, and beyond that body stood the Presi- j
dent of the United States, who would protect all :
their constitutional rights. He desired, in a few !
words, to call the attention of the House to the !
condition of the so-called American party, in their j
recent conduct at Philadelphia, and proposed t<- !
show, by their own resolutions, that they had con- 1
demned this administration for the very thing fin
which the Black Republicans condemned it. The
verv causes which carried the present Speaker in
to the chair were the very causes which induced
the American party at Philadelphia, recently, t< ;
denounce the administration. They, therefore, J
stood as a party, precisely upon the same ground, j
in regard to the repeal of the Missouri Compro i
tuisp, as the Black Republicans themselves, li. i
the loth section of the platform, adopted recently j
at Philadelphia, one of the causes of complaint j
against the President was his re-opening sectional j
agitation by the repeal of the Missouri Compro- ]
mise; and was not that the cause of complaint j
made by Mr. Speaker Banks, and those with whom |
he acted ? Was not that the cause of complaint by ,
the Republican parly against the present adminis- !
tration» If it was, then, as far as that question !
was concerned, the American party and the Black
Republican party were identical; and all that he
had to say was, that the twenty-nine men from th -
South who had voted for that platform, to have
been consistent, should have voted for Mr. Banks
for Speaker to have carried out their principle. He
wanted the country to understand that twenty-nine
southern men voted for that platform as adopted
in Philadelphia, and twenty-two against it, and
that those who voted for it condemned ihe admin
istration for the repeal of the Missouri Compromise,
and that was what the Black Republicans and their
representative, the Speaker, condemned it for. All
he had to say, then, to the Know Nothing party
w’nen they charged him with being faithless to the j
interests of the South in not being here to cast his j
vote for Speaker, when he could not reach here on J
account of heavy freshets, was to tell them to ex
amine their own records, and see where they stood, 1
and whether their principles and the principles of j
the present Speaker were not the same in regard
to the Missouri Compromise. His own opinion
was that there was a secret sympathy existing be
; tween the Know Nothings of this country and the
Republicans, and he thought it was manifested a
i few weeks ago, when a gentleman from Kentucky
Mr. Cox made a speech here, and called up Black
Republicans as witnesses, upon the stand, to con
demn this administration, and limit all around m
ascertain the views of certain prominent Demo
crats who made speeches during the last canvass.
Mr. Savage, of Tennessee, had been informed
that after the election of a Speaker, the so-called
Americans and Black Republicans held a caucus
| j n relation to the other officers, and asked the gen
tleman whether he had heard of it ?
Mr. Seward had heard of it, but did not know
; whether it was true or not. J
Mr. Cox, of Kentucky, said that if there had i
been any such caucus he was not in it certainly. |
Mr. Howard wished to address himself to the j
Americans of the House, upon the floor, and to i
know whether or not they had not abandoned the
twelfth section of the Philadelphia platform, estab
lished last June, and bv going into the recent con
vention, and acting with the Know Noihing party,
whether they had not substituted what is now the j
thirteenth section of the new platform, and ignored i
the twelfth section. What was the record of Zolli- I
coffer? He Mr. Z. was a member of the last
Congress, and voted for the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise and in favor of the Kansas and Ne
braska act, and vindicated it upon the floor of the
I House in an able speech, and ret he found his vote
recorded at Philadelphia condemning the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise. He would like, there
fore, for the purpose of (jetting at ihe true position
of the American party on this floor, to know where
they stood—-whether upon the iwelth section of the j
1 Philadelphia platform, established last June, or |
■ the thirteenth section recently adopted at Phila
| delphia? Another cause of complaint against the I
administration was its weak and vacillating course j
in regard to affairs in Kansas." He wanted south- j
i ern Americans to answer how and in what mail-
I ne r the administration bad pursued a weak and
imbecile course m regard to affairs in that Territo
ry. Had not the President stood erect upon the
subject, cautioning not only the Abolitionists, but
even men from his own section of country, against
i entering upon that Territory to commit violence ?
The position of the President, therefore, had been
a fair and national one, and lie would like those
who preferred this bill ot indictment against the
i administration to make specifications, so that the
country- might understand it, and not to clothe
their resolution in such words that the people could
i not understand them, or, in the language of a del
egate from Indiana to their convention, Mr. Sheets
“so that the people would not understand it, and
the election of President would take place before
I the people ever understood their platform. Hav
ing said thus much, he wished to remark, in con
* elusion, that he was responsible to his constituents
: at home for not being here when a Speaker was
' elected He would have preferred being here, but
■ ! all he had to sav was that when any man, at home
■ or abroad, suspected his principles or questioned
' | his fidelity to the Constitution of the country, and
the peculiar institutions of the South, he did not
, [ desire his support
[communicated.]
“Beneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword.”
[Rickdiev, Act 2, Se. 2.
A remark, familiar as “a household word,” and
used daily by those who have never fully appreci
ated its force. The object of “Truth Teller ” is
to vindicate the veracious sagacity of its distin
guished author, and while he (“Truth Teller,”)
still thinks that it is more murderous to stab than
bruise, in his next communication, in order that
no doubt may exist in any mind as to his deter
mination to kill and scalp, he will always, with the
same little weapon —the praise of which heads this
article—attempt a little in the bruising and stick
line. Truth Teller..
Triumphs of Railroads.— Mr. Joseph Segar, in
speaking on a railroad bill in the Virginia Legisla
ture recently, said :
“ I know that the thing looks strange ; but, sir,
the railroad itself is a strange thing, a wonderous
thing. It is a creative power. It seems almost to
invade the province of omnipotence. Its results,
though submitted to the test of occular demonstra
tion, almost defy belief. If, thirty years ago, anv
man had told me that, in the year 1855, the Balti
more and Ohio railroad would carry to Baltimore
23,750,0'j 0 tons of trade, or earn $440,000 in a
month, 1 should have looked upon him as a moon
struck fool. 1 should have thought as the old
man did,now livingnear Fetterman,midway theline
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, who happened
to he present at the first meeting held in Baltimore
to put that great work 011 foot, and who heard the
assembled people talk of building a railroad
through his wild native mountuins. ‘Ah, gentle
men,’ he said, ‘you cannot do that. 1 know that
country. I was horn in those mountains and
grew up in their midst. I have crossed the streams
that sweep at their base. I have roamed over their
deep-set valleys; I have climbed up their rough,
rugged sides, and have sealed their tall summit
elitis. 1 tell you, gentlemen, you can never carry
a railroad there. 1 had rather see it than hear talk
of it.’ And yet that old man lived to go from
Fetterman after the noon of day to the Monumen
tal city, spend a quiet night there, ami return to
his mountain house ere dinner hour of the succeed
ing day.”
Loss of our Steamships.—Since 1853 twelve
steamships, lost at sea, have cost one thousand
two hundred and fifty human lives and $7,250,000
property. The Independence sunk with one hun
dred and two lives in the Pacific, and the Tennes
see and St. Louis followed, total wrecks. The
Humboldt and the San Francisco were wrecked
in the Atlantic the same year. The Franklin, Citv
of Philadelphia and Yankee Blade, fall in the cat
alogue of 1854. City of Glasgow with four hun
dred and eighty lives. The Arctic with hundreds
more, precious lives, were the crowning catastro
phes that year. In 1855 we have the sinking of
the North Carolina, and the stranding of the Gol
den Age, which last, however was saved and re
paired.
Those Horrid Foreigners.—An exclusively
“native” comic paper was started in this citv a
short time ago, called •• Young Sam." Yesterday
three gentlemen, all of them Englishmen, through
their assignee, sued the proprietors of “ Young
■Sam" for literary services in editing this specimen
of an unadulterated Know Nothing sheet.

ARRIVAL
OF THE STEAMSHIP
ARAGO.
| New Yobk, March I.—The steamer Arago has
I arrived, with Havre dates of the 13th ult. She
| had one of the worst passages ever known. She
! brings despatches from the English government,
and from Messrs. Buchanan and Mason,
Further by the America.
Halifax, Feb. 20. — The steamer Baltic arrived
out on the 13th. The America passed, on the 19th
a Collin’s steamer in distress, heading up the Eng
lish channel. It was probably the Pacific, return
ing.
The peace conference opens on the 21st. It is
said that Austria and France desired the admis
sion of Prussia, but Lord Palmerston refused the
consent of England.
The Dutch had concluded a treaty with Japan,
by which they obtain greater advantages than
have been accorded to any other nation.
The London Times seems to fear for the success
of England in the approaching Congress.
In the House of Commons, on the 15th, Mr. Roe
ruck moved the production of the correspondence
with the United States and the instructions given
to Cram Eton. Lord Palmerston replied, defend
ing the course of the government, but at the same
time deprecating war with the United States, as
he believed the interests of the two countries were
inseparable. The Derbyites have resolved to sus
tain Palmerston.
Tiie Chancellor of the Exchequer was about to
propose a new' loan of £20,000,000.
Fugitive Slave Case.
Cincinnati, Feb. 27. — The fugitive slaves have
dually been restored to their owners. They were

special policemen.
J. B. Johnson, Esq., has been appointed Post
master of Sparta, vice R. \V. Hart, lesigned.
The most extraordinary discovery in the I Vorld is the
Great Arabian Remedy for Man and Beast.
H. G. FARRELL'S
CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT.
fB’HIE beautiful and fertile region skirting the
-M. desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants
and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro
matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is
composed, and by whose stimulating, unctuous and
penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused
through the whole nervous system, allaying the
most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when
you will be convinced that no preparation possesses
m so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities.
Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates
the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re
storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where
the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but
skin and bone, excites a 'healthy action, causing
new flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled
part. It restores the synovial fluid or joint water,
and this is the reason why it has been so success
ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the
Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme
dy stands before any other ever produced. For
ague cake or enlargement of the spieen, it is a .spe
cific. For any internal inflammation, you will find
it gives great relief. It has no equal'in the world
for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb
ness, weak joints, Spine and Chest, pains] wounds,
chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects ami
reptiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and in
deed nearly all diseases which require an internal
application, and many others, are greatly benefitted
by it. It is used externally with great success in
goitre, or swelled neck, Scrofula or King's Evil,
Liver Complaint, nervous diseases, Ac. For Horses
or Cattle, it is as effectual as in diseases of man.
Will cure any case of Sweeney in existence ; also,
Spavin, Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Farcy’
Poll Evil, Windgalls, Strains, Bruises, Ac.
Lml out for Counterfeits !
The public are cautioned against another coun- j
tertoit, which has lately made its appearance, called j
W. H. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan- I
gerous of all the counterfeits, because his having
the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good i
faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex- j
ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error j
when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
effects.
