Niice the organization of the House, no practi or important legislation has been done in either inch of Congress; the Senate having been en in discussing the Clayton-1 tutwer treaty, -.1 the violation of our neutrality laws by Eng »nd; and the House on the resolution submitted the Committee on Elections, asking lor authori al o-'iid for persons and papers in relation to the ntested seat of Gen. Whitfield, the sitting dele ■.:>! from Kansas, by (lav. Hesder. On reading the debate on this question, it will apparent to every candid and unprejudicial man riot right and justice are entirely on the side of ’*!i. Whitfield; and further, that there is a la ridable want of talent among the opposition u mbers, and hardly any one of them who have •yken, have made even a plausible argument. One reason for this is, that they were elected to V digress simply on account of their opposition to Kansas-Nebraska act, the majority of them n , v,T having been here before, and are not fully up -..tfUamentary debate, and the principal cause is thuUto' are the advocates of all the isms of the Times, whit h is sufficient proof that they are defi cient in brains. Among the number of speeches made, I was par ticularly pleased with that of the lion. Mr. Craw ford, of your State. During the delivery of his speech, he teas listened to with deep and earnest attention, and his arguments and conclusions struck me with particular force; being clear, plain, and logical. He started out with the proposition that Gover r Keeokh had no legal right to contest the seal s' (Jeneral Whitfield, and then reviewed ecria „ the four points bv which Reeder founded his ,iiin, and clearly proved that the simple question •■r the House to decide was whether Gen.

Mr. Seward—Take your own time. - - Douglas, quickly—l understand that game. I ake your own time.” The Senator from Massa chusetts took his own time to write and circulate a libel on me about the time the Nebraska hill was reported. I understood my colleague to say that he corne here a Democrat.' That will be news to the Democracy of Illinois, and is a libel on the De mocracy of that State. Mr. Crittenden here interposed, saving that the debate was transcending the rules'of decorum. The Senator had charged a libel on Mr. Trumbull. (Sensation.) .'Jr. Douglas—l should have been better satisfied it the Senator from Kentucky, had, when the Black Republicans denounced us in coarse terms, rebuked them for want of courtesy. Mr. Crittenden—To what do you allude? Mr. Douglas—When they made vulgar, coarse partisan assaults on the Democratic side of the Senate. Mr. Crittenden—lt was no more mv business than that of others to call Senators to order for personalties. This is not the place for vitupera tion. It should be settled elsewhere. Further colloquy took place, when the Chair de cided that Mr. Douglas’ remarks were not per sonal. Mr. Douglas said that so far as he was advised and believed, his colleague was the candidate of the miserable sect of Abolitionists and Know Noth ings, which are one and the same thing. Mr. Crittenden—l wish the Senator to under sjand that I co-operate with the American party. Standing here as a gentleman and Senator in abso lute independence and claiming all respect due to honesty as a freeman, 1 repel with scorn every im putation of that kind as intended to embrace me and mv political associates. Mr. Douglas explained- I spoke of what Know Nothingism is in Illinois, and said it might be oth erwise in the South. Every Know Nothing Lodge in Illinois adopted the Abolition creed, and that is the miserable faction that sent my colleague here. The Senator from Kentucky misunderstood me, else lie would not have conceived my remark as personal to him. Mr. Crittenden—The gentleman did not make the qualification he now does. Mr. Douglas—Every gentleman'must have un derstood me as makiiig the distinction; l said noth ing about Southern Know Nothings. Mr. Trumbull—l will shall permit such remarks us those from my colleague to pass unanswered. II he means to say that I am or ever have been a Know Nothing or connected with any secret political organization, the charge is basely—l will not violate the rules of the Senate, hut f will sav untrue! Mr. Douglas-—My colleague said that the rea son why he did not accept, at Salem, my pro position to resign our seats last year to test hv a re-election whether be or 1 represent Illinois, was that Governor Mattison would appoint mo and mother Democrat to fill the vacancies.

He dare i not deny that statement. M’hv equivocate? In his further remarks, Mr. Douglas said that Mr. Trumbull had become the Chief of Black Re publicanism.

Mr. Trumbull 1 tell him no, to his teeth. 1 never was a candidate of the Abolition or Know- Nothing partv. 1 may have been voted for by members of the American party with the gentle man —hut, that I was their candidate, is not true. From td ’ Nev) Orleans Picayune, Mtn-h 12. Later from Mexico. The steamship Texas, Capt. Forbes, reached the levee at dusk last evening, with the mails from Vera Li nz of the btli inst. We have full tiles of the Vera Cruz papers, the I trueri 'ino and Pnu/c io, to the sth inst , hut no thing whatever front the eapilal. From Ihc latter, indeed, we are not to expect any, as the communi cations between it and Vera Cruz are said to be interrupted. The telegraph wires are etit, and the revolutionists, we are told, intercept all correspon dence, public or private. If the report of the interruption is correct, there must he strong revolution forces outside of the city of Puebla. And that there arc perhaps we should say that there were, if we were in possession of all the facts of the case- we have a startling proof in the important fact that Gen. Uraga had surrendered at Aculzittgo with no fewer than six thousand follow ers. For the numbers, we have the authority of a correspondent ; hut we have not been able to find them stated in either of our Vera Cruz tiles. In a supplement to its issue of the 28th tilt., the Pro t/rexo published a private communication from (lie President to Gov. La I,lave, front which the follow ing is a translated extract: I now have the pleasure of giving yon the im portant news that a party, which left Puebla to cover the entry of Uraga, was completely routed in Fiaxcnla, its officers being taken prisoners; and also that Uraga himself, with the whole of those who were with him, without excepting a single private, surrendered at discretion in the neighbor hood of Tulancingo, where lie was besieged hi forces of the Moreno brigade, under the command of D, Sahas de Iturbide. Uraga and the chiefs and officers taken prisoners are on the way to this capital. It appears that lliis was effected without a sin gle drop of blood being spilt. In the same communication President Comon fort informs Gov. Ln Llave that the Congress had confirmed the decree nominating him to the Presidency, by a majority of seventy-seven votes. In addition to the affairs above noticed, the Pro greso notices several others favorable to the Gov ernment. At Chautla, an advanced corps of the revolutionists was defeated by Ghilardi’s troops : Sagrada, their leader, being taken prisoner. It was reported that on the night of the 2oth Febru ary, the great body of Haro’s forces had left Pue bla, nobody knew for what point; but we see, ns vet, no confirmation. In connection with the state ment, if is added that there were not more than eight hundred or one thousand men left in the city. At the capital everything was ready for the Pres ident to leave on Wednesday, the 27th till., at the head of nine thousand, besides the Ghilardi, Trn conis, Gttloaga, Moreno and Villareal sections, amounting to not less than six thousand more. The Vemcruzinio of the Bill inst., acknowledges the receipt, in Vera Cruz, of a letter from Pue bla, dated the Ist inst., and in which it is an nouticed that it was expected the siege about to he put to the city by the Government forces would open on the 3(1. The insurgents in the city are estimated tit from seven thousand to eight thousand in number. On the day of the date of this letter all the forces between Situ. Mat tain, Tes meluean and Puebla were awaiting the arrival of the President. The Vertcruzano dwells with the greatest satis faction on the confirmation of President Comon fort, and augurs the best results for the country. Os course, the surrender of Uraga is regarded as a desperate blow to Haro’s interests. | A correspondent, writing on ihe 6th inst., in | forms us the officers of the revolters in the castle j of San Juan de l loa, on the 13th till., had been : I sentenced to he shot, with the exception of Salee- ! j do, who, it seems, was forced to be their leader, j , and was the first to surrender. His punishment, | our correspondent says, is tixed at ten years’ im prisonment. In addition to the Government successes above reported, the Venicrusn.no, of the sth inst., gives another, announcing the complete suppression of the outbreak in Chiapas. The arms and munitions of all kinds had fallen into the power of the Gov ernment. Five insurgents were taken prisoners, and one was killed. With regard to the question of communication i between Vera Cruz and the capital, the Veracrnta- \ , no, of the 6th inst., says that on that or the follow- j | ing day, they would he re-established byway ot j the plains of 'Apam, the Government having placed j troops at convenient points for protection. The country generally, with the exceptions no | ted, is reported quiet. i Vera Cruz is reported healthy, owing to ihe pre i valence of north winds lately. New Haven, Conn., March 12.

Johnson, won the Jockey Club Purse of S3O0 —tw® mile heats, Time—3.s6, From the New Orleans Picayune, March 12. Later from Central America. steamship Prometheus, Captain Churchill from San Juan, arrived early yesterday afternoon! Bv this arrival we have tiles of El Nicarague lt »> published at Granada, to the Ist inst. The news is interesting and important. The Government of the Republic of Nicaragua issued a decree, dated Granada, February 16th, annulling the contract with the Nicaragua steam! ship liue, or, more properly, the Accessory Transit Company. The decree appoints a board of three commissioners to wind up the affairs of the old company, and to contract with other parties for the instant commencement of a line of steamships to the Atlantic States and California. The commis sioners are Don Cleto Mayorga, Don Edward J. C. Kewen, and Don George F. Alden. .IS. JSkarayuiwte, ofFeb’y. 20d, has a long and highly interesting article accompanying the publi cation of the decree. It gives the reasons why the decree was issued, why the property of the Acces sory Transit Company is to he seized, makes some curious developments, and some serious charges against individuals, and winds up by a reference to the bold and energetic policy which the Gov ernment has pursued and intends to pursue. Al though the article is long, we copy nearly the whole of it, as follows: “As the decree sets forth, the Government of Nicaragua, in 1848, in its great anxiety to perfect a junction of the Pacific Ocean with the'Gulf of Mex ico, by means of a maritime canal or other speedy method of conveyance, granted to the above com pany, although under a different name, the right to uu exclusive navigation of the inland waters of this State for twelve years. This contract also in cluded a specific right in the company to construct a canal on certain terms therein set forth. At least, these privileges are granted in the present charter, though they may have been conceded at different times. The company stipulated, however, to pay this Government ten thousand dollars per annum, together with ten per cent, of all nett profits of the line. These conditions have never been fulfilled, and therefore in its right, the Government annuls the contract, and siezes the property to indemnify it for the amount due by the company. Two considerations have prompted the Govern ment to tliis action, right and policy. The Acces sory Transit Company failed and refused to comply with its agreements, and therefore the Slate was bound to see its interest and dignity respected • the Company had threatened to suspend the line and break up all communication with the ports of Nicaragua, and therefore the State was interested in seeing that this threat was not executed. The ioss of what the Accessory Transit Compa ny owes the Government is of small concern ; hut it is of vital importance at the present time that the line of communication between California and the eastern world should be maintained unimpair ed and regular. Thus, in the pursuit of its duty and its policy, the country has done this act ; and the future will show to the people of Nicaragua the wisdom of the step. The Accessory Transit Company has not only forfeited its foil'd, but its honor is' held in slight esteem in the State at present. We are in posses sion of convincing proof that the Company has not only acted dishonestly, hut it has been guilty of treason, if an incorporated body can be charged with such a crime. Mr. Joseph L. White, with Mr. Marcoleta, have not only violated the neutrali ty laws of the United States, in shipping an armed force of fifty men to this State, ready armed and officered; but they have been guilty of fomenting the internal discords that have prevailed in the country. They had their policy to accomplish, and had it not been for the interference of Gen. Walk er it would have been successful. The fifty Her mans sent to this State, and stationed at Castillo first, and secondly at lfivas, were intended to ad vance a grand speculation ; hut a new game was made before Ihe hand was dealt out, and to-day Messrs. Aspinwall and Vanderbilt are losers oil the deal. Both of the last named gentlemen -grand specu lators in steamship and railroad stocks are now interested in the Panama railroad stock. There is a capital of $110,000,000 in that enterprise, which, at present, pays a merely nominal per eentage. In order to get out of that speculation, they know it is necessary to break down the Nicaragua line, and thus drive passengers via Panama. This would in flate the value of their stock, and enable them to sell out at a large advance. In order to accomplish this object, the usual discords of this State have been fomented, the best steamers withdrawn and old ones supplied, the climate of the country tra duced, and in fact everything done which coiild in jure us. They have conspired with White and Marcoleta to injure the line, and through the influ ence of Mr. Vanderbilt, who holds a share in the Nicaragua steamship stock, every impediment has been thrown in the way of the transportation of men to this State. In pursuance of this plan, it has been the policy of the company to withdraw its best boats from lliis line, and put them on the Panama route. And quite recently, when Minister French demanded a settlement in New York, Mr. White refused to come to terms, and subsequently wrote ft letter to this place, threatening, in the event the Government did not come to a proper settlement, that lie would break up the line. We have no doubt, it this Government would connive at the proceeding, that Vanderbilt and Aspinwall would ultimately succeed in inflating and selling their Panama stock, when tliev would invest in the Nicaragua line ; but we have no dis position to become parties to such a speculation, nor are we interested that they should patronize the enterprises connected with Nicaragua. Oihet capitalists are willing to invest permanently in the works of this country, and, therefore, w e are in debted to none for the favor of their assistance. This must eventually become tlie great and onlt route from the East to the West, and the present movement is hut calculated to accelerate that im portant consummation. A further result from this step must he the im mediate organization of a line of steamers which will merit and receive the patronage of the public, at the same time that it wiil conduce great! , to the benefit of this State. It is necessary that every facility should be offered to emigrants desiring to come to Nicaragua ; and in order to secure such a consummation, the Government will hold an eve upon any new company. .Thus arranged, the mis erable failures that have hitherto marred the for tunes of this line will be remedied and public confidence restored. Prices will be regulated, here, too, and not at the whim of a combination in New York. The speculators and politicians of the United .States will ultimately open their eves to the exis tence of an order of things somewhat in advance of even their progress. A few more movements on the part of Nicaragua, such as the suspension of diplomatic relations w ith the United States, the seizure of property belonging to a powerful com pany, and the celerity with which these things are devised and executed, w ill impress upon them the fact that a government has sprung into being here such as has never had an existence on this conti nent■ bofere. No private interests are allowed to combat w ith the settled policy of the Government, but all ils ends are consummated with energy, breaking down the personal aims that stand in the path. The nation is the first object of considera tion with the chief executive power, and while its greatness can in no wise conflict with the just rights of individuals, then speculations of men are not allowed to interfere with any of its plans of im provement and advance. Messrs. Aspinwall and Vanderbilt may, therefore, reconcile themselves to a considerable loss, for they have met an obstacle that cannot be surmounted by money, nor outwit ted by negotiations. FI Niteiraynens' announces that Col. Kewen, in company with one or two other gentlemen, had left Granada for Virgin Bay to take possession, in the name of (lie Government, of the property of the Transit Company. FI Xtmrugventu also announces that it is in pos session of reliable information from Guatemala that no fears of a hostile demonstration from that quarter against Nicaragua need be entertained.

Praying to the Point. —The editor of the Bos ton Hud gives us in several examples of praying particularly to the point. Here are a couple of them: A certain lawyer who dwelt in one of our New England towns, noted for his ever-reachings and short comings, during a revival came under the conviction, and requested prayers for the further ance of his conversion, llis appeal was respond ed to by one of the saints, an eceentriet but very pious old man, honest, plain, blunt, square-toed and flat-footed, who thus went at it: “We do most earnestly entreat thee, O Lord, to sanctify out penitent brother here ; fill his heart witligood ness and grace, so that he shall hereafter forsake his evil ways and follow ill the right path. We do know, however, that it is required of him who has appropriated wordly goods to himself unlawfully ' and dishonestly, that he shall make restitution four-fold ; but we do beseech thee to have mercy on this our erring brother, as it would be impossi- 1 blc for him to do that, and let him off for the best he can do without beggaring himself entirely, by Ins paying twenty-five cents on the dollar.” The next supplicant at the same meeting was an elderly maiden who got her by living going into different families and spinning for them. She, also, had been famous for her short-coinings never giving full counts on her yarn; the forty threads to a knot was a point which she never reached.

Try it, w hen , you will be convinced that no preparation possesses in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities. Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates the fiesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where the flesh lias wasted away, leaving nothing but , skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing new flesh to grow out and till 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 spleen, it is a spe cific. For any internal inflammation, yon will tint! it gives great, relief. It has no equal‘in the world for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numb ness, weak joints, Spine and ('best, pains' wounds, j chilblains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and 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.
