i iiiRW-ionivn congress -first session.
Washington, June 13.—Senate.—Mr. Butler re
- uued Ins remarks from yesterday in further apol- ■
gy for Mr. Brook's attack on Senator Sumner.
!h- -aid when the Legislature of Massachusetts say i
'.iiat gentleman's act was cowardly, let them try
;.i in any way they choose. Applause .
Mr. Stuart said the proprieties and amenities of
in Senate were too often thus disturbed by ap
plause, and if the galleries cannot be occupied by
- ‘ti'h-aien, they should be cleared.
Tiie chair inquired whether the Senator from
Mi iiigan moved that the galleries lie cleared.
Mr. Stuart replied that he did not.
Mr. Fessenden, in justice to those in the galle
ries, said that the applause came from the Boor of i
the Senate.
Mr. Butler remarked that he would go on in ,
i h away that nobody would applaud again. '
Laughter Mr. Brooks approached Mr. Sumner j
»ith no other purpose than to disgrace him. Mr.
;; "ks was one of the best tempered fellows he i
ever knew, though impetuous no doubt, and quick
resentment. Mr. Sumner received two flesh
w.uinds, and.being rather handsome, did not ex-j
p-’-e hiinselt. It he had been in the army and not {
gone into the ranks the next dav after the fracas
he would have deserved to be cashiered, i Laugh- j
teri.
Mr. Butler thought on some account it was for- i
lunate that he was not here at the time, for lieldid
nit know what he might have Alone. To be sure,
it had been thirty or forty t ears since he had been
engaged in personal conflicts, and bis band teas \
ait of practice, but he did not know but what he
: ght have hada trial at him; undone thing he had
doubt of, that if he had been a younger man he
« u!d have left Mr. Sumner in a worse condition
than he was now. The New England papers call
'.is a specimen of southern violence and south
■rn ruffitanism, but the first Congressional fight
nee the foundation of this government took place
tween two New England man. Matthew Lyon
and Roger Griswold? and that did not take place
tsideHf the House, but they fought with nick
ry sticks, spit boxes and tonga all over the
House of Representatives, laughter when it was
in session. But they did not turn them out ; they
-aid, let them both go ; they are disgraced enough
already. J Laughter.
Mr. Butler reviewed Mr. Sumner's speech,elaim
:iig that he had convicted Mr. Sumner of a procliv
ity to error, calumny and misrepresentation, and
. as effectually turned the guns which Mr. Sum
ner had pointed at him.
Mr. Wilson said that he had listened toMr. Buller’f
venty speech with painful emotions. More than
■ .vs ago a Senator of a sovereign State \a as striek
f down on the floor of the Senate for words spok-
I mi m debate. For more than three weeks that
ua'or had been confined to his room, on a bed
I i pain and anguish. The moral sentiment of the
entry had been outraged, grossly outraged, by
i- assault upon the freedom of debate, and on a
; -ii.,:.Ar foi words used in debate. Intelligence of
lias transaction is flying abroad over the civilized
•a rid, and wherever Christianity has a foothold
id civilization glows, the fact avill meet the stern
c indemuation of mankind.
The Senator from South Carolina has spi-nt three
•urs and a half in vindication and apology, for
an assault which is unparalleled in the history of
'■be nation ; and has commented on the present
udition of Mr. Sumner in & manner not exhibit
i- good taste. He (Mr. Wilson) knew persoual
these comments to lie grossly unjust. He knew
lit for three weeks Mr. Sumner has been com
plied to lie in bed front injuries and the effects of
low* inflicted nu him.
Mr Butler—l was delicate, and only alluded to
the evidence of others.
M. Wilson caused to be read a note from Dr.
j Lindsay, dateii the 12th hist., to thi.c etleet : “ 1
...ve been in attendance on Mr. Sumner as his
pLvsician, on the account of injuries received,
j ; m the -dh of May to the present time; part ol
us period in consultation with Drs. Perry and
Miiiei . 1 have visited him at least once a day
! ’ lnu g that time Mr. Sunnier has been confined ts
jus room, and the greater part of the time to his
i.. oeither now nor since Mr. Sumner came uu
an charge has he been iu a condition to re
T 'in the Senate. My advice to him i
• (j into the country and enjoy fresh air, and noi
attempt to enter on his public duties for some
time to come.”
j lr ' , Wilson i resuming, said that Mr. Butler
had taken occasion to applv to Mr. Sumner eni
i thets. 1
Mr. Butler, interrupting—Not epithets but criti
■ | csni,
Mr. Wilson—Well. In the Senator’s criticisms
l.e used every word which a fertile imagination
j could invent or strong passion suggest The Sen
ator Irom South Carolina had taken full revenge
here for the speech made by Mr. Sumner, and Ee
( Mr. \> llsoii ) did not take exception to it That
was the w * v Mr Sumner's speech should have been
met—not by blows.
-« mo withstanding Mr. Butler’s denial,
that Mr. Sumner did make a correct quotation
from the Constitution of South Carolina, which
went to show though South Carolina was nominal
ly a republic she had aristocratical features in her
Constitution. He endorsed the assertion of hia
colleague, and would peril his life for any State of
the 1 nion it assailed. Ho had and would continue
to vote as cheerfully for anything to benefit South
| Carolina as for the commonwealth of Massachu
] sets. It was a part of liis country, and the slavc
; holders do not compose one-tenth of her popula
j Ron. He was opposed to the whole system of sla
very and inequality; but it is a sovereign State,
j and part of his country. It was true and more
than true, that South Carolina was|imbecile during
; the revolutionary war, as alleged by his colleague
; 'Mr. Sumner . He could prove this by the corres
i pondence of the gentleman of South Carolina, who
] asked to be relieved from her portion of the’ bur
j dens, becanse it was necessary for men to stay at
j home to keep negroes in order.
As to Mr. Butler’s remarks that South Carolina
shed hogsheads where Massachusetts shed only
gallons in that contest, it was loose, absurd and
ridiculous, and justified Mr. Sumner iu asserting
i that Mr. Butler was loose iu his expressions and
! liable to error.
j Mr. Sumner was not, as the Senator from South
Carolina had asserted, the aggressor; and Mr.
Wilson proceeded to show from Mr. Butler’s speech
delivered about four years ago, that when Mr.
Sumner proposed to repeal the fugitive slave law,
Mr. Butler objected, and asked Mr. Sumner
tauntingly, if he wanted to make “an oratorical
display?” The remark was designed to wound
the sensibilities of a new member, to bring on those
who advocate liberty sneers and laughter, but
j which taunts, men are n' tv learning to regard
i with scorn.
Mr. Wilson charged that Mr. Butler was the
aggressor, and assailed Mr. Sunnier before tlielat-
I ter had uttered a word on the floor of the Senate.
Mr. Wilson quoted from Mr. Butler’s speeches
since that period, showing that Mr. Butler bad ap
plied to Mr. Sumner such phrases as “ plun<Hii<r
agitator,” “rhetorical advocate “it seems to me
if he (Mr. Sumner) wished to write poetry he
would get a negro to sit for him,” “pseudo” phi
lanthropy,” “professions of philanthropy, of
i adoption more than of affection.” “Machinery
j oiled Avith northern fanaticism,” &e.
Mr. Wilson thought Mr. Sumner right when he
said Mr. Butlei.was one of the chieftains of a sec
tionalism at war with fundamental ideas, which
underlie our democratic institutions, and at war
with the repose and harmony of the country. Mr.
Butler, in his fiist speech, iti reply to Mr. Sumner'
made five assaults on Msssachuset'ts, stating, among
other things, die was governed by “sickly setup
nieutabiiity,” “ anti-negro State,” Jtc.
Mr. W ilson defended .Massachusetts and the ac
tion of ik Legislature regarding the assault on
Mr. Sumner, saying in conclusion, they had quite
enough of this asserted superiority, social and po
litical, from Southern sources. If the South did
hold over him the plantation whip lie should speak
his sentiments freely; and more freely because his
colleague had been stricken down for words spoke
iu debate, und because there were those who claim
the right to question Senators for words spoke in
Mr. Butler saiil lie did not blame Mr. Wilson for
taking bis colleague’s part, but when he had gone
back to those old reports, previous to June, 15.,.), it
made him think, what he should be sorry to sup
pose, namely : that mortified vanity, arising from
former conflicts, had been t lie* cause of this last as
sault of Mr. Sumner upon him and his State. Mr.
Sumner did noi say that in Ins affidavit, but that
wliat lie littered was in reply to his (Mr. Butler's;
speeches of this session. He could not go back
and recapitulate those old speeches, for they were
very long since forgotten.
Iu commenting on the revolutionary service of
South Carolina, he a.-ked Mr. Wilson how mam
battles Massachusetts had fought in the re\adu
iion ?
Mr. Wilson replied, they were but few, because
the enemy considered it safer to goto South Caro
lina. (Applause). They had met them at Concord,
Lexington, Bunker's Hill and on the heights of
Dorchester, and would have met them elsewhere,
but the enemy took good care to keep out of the
State. The charge id Mr. Clav that northern Sen
ator- fawned upon southern‘Senators when per
mitted to make their acquaintance, was language
he had no right to use.
Mr. Clay said the charge he had heretofore made
was just -that men from the North would come
here and court the acquaintance of southern Sena
tors. He did not charge Mr. Wilson with such
conduct, but there were those who agreed with
Mr. Wilson in opinion, that did so. He regarded
it as duplicity and hvpocricy unworthy of a gen
tleman. No fair minded, honest, straight forward
man would be guilty of such conduct
Mr. Evans here obtained the floor, and the Sen
ate adjourned till Monday.
House.—Only one hundred and six members
were present, when for want of a quorum the
House again adjourned.
The New Orleans Pi.-.iyune furnishes us !
with the following items of Central American
news:
The Panama railroad is said to be in excellent
working order. The passengers, we are informed,
make the transit from ocean to ocean in four
hours, with comfort and safety.
All was quiet in Panama. The sloop-of-Avar .St.
Mary’s was still in port, and received Mr. Com- i
tnissioner Corwine, who arrived by the George
Law, from New Vork, with a salute of fifteen
glllis.
Mr. Corwine, immediately on his arrival, notified
the Governor of Panama, of his commission.
Great improvements are in progress on the Pa- j
nama railioad. One thousand five hundred na
tives are constantly employed quarryiug stone
and improving the route. Iron bridges, with j
stone abutments, are to take the place of the
wooden ones.
There was no sickness at A spin wall, anil the
weather was delightful.
We learn from memoranda furnished by the
obliging purser of the Daniel Webster, that the
report of the detention of the steamship Orizaba,
antijtheblockadeofthe port of San Juan by the Bri
tish sloop-of-war Eurydiee, was unfounded. Noth
ing of the suit had taken place, or was intended.
The information was gained by personal inquiry.
The Minnie ShnlFer’s passengers, one hundred
and twenty in number, together with those of the
Daniel Webster, fifty in number, embarked to
gether next day after their arrival at San Juan, j
and went up the rivet - unmolested.
The Hon. Cortland Cushingdied at l’untu Arenas
on the “4th ult., of the fever of the country. His
funeral was attended by his friends and acquaint
ances, and many others, among whom were Capt.
Tarletton and the officers of the British sloop-of
war Eurydiee. The English and American Con
suls were present, and the latter read the funeral !
service at the grave.
Gen. Walker, we learn, has made his headquar- ;
tins at. Leon, aud inarched all his troops from Vir
gin Baa and San Juan del Sur to that place.
W e have no a-counts of the progress of the
revolution in Costa Rica. The Costa Rica mail is
now conveyed to the Atlantic, via Cartago, to Salt
j Greek, forty miles South of San Juan del Norte.
Tin - In a,, quotes from the testimony of Dr
j Cornklit s Boyle, of this city, before the House
Investigating Committee, to show the sheer hutn-
I buggery of the pretences of the Republican press
that Mr. St mni r was : -riou-ly hurt by Mr. Brooks
Before that committee Dr. Boyle said :
“ I have seen no medical man with him but my
self. There lias been none there. There are a
great man) friends present, and they make Mr.
Sumner out a great deal worse than he is. They
say he has a fever. 1 have never discovered any.
1 have been bis constant attendant, and I have
never known his pulse at any moment higher than
eighty-two. 1 yesterday corrected an article in
the InUMyetf- r siatiug that he had a fever, and
(he correction appears iu to-day's paper, lie has
: no fever to my knowledge. I have visited him
twice a day. Ilis brother said he ought not to
come out, and cited a great many cases that had
come under his observation in Paris, where death
had taken place in si x weeks front blows on the
head. His brother is not a medical man. ; Ana
tor iSumnef, of course, took the advice of his
brother and his friends,and 1, of course, allowed
them to do as they thought proper. Perhaps I
ought to state my reasons for objecting to his com
ing out on Friday. There was a good deal of ex
citement at that time, and I thought that, if Mr.
Sumner did not go into the Senate fora day or
two, the excitement might wear off. ’
Again :
“ 1 think this ; that Mr. Sumner might have ta
ken u carriage and driven as far as Baltimore on
the next day without injury.”
It is well’ known here that Senator Sumner is
heii! housed for political effect only, and that the
half-hourly bulletins concerning the desperatenesj
of his condition lhat arc flying over the non-slave
holding States per telegraph, are simply so many
“shrieks” for “ Freedom in Kansas,” or, rather
to make Republican party political capital. lift

thirty-fourth congress—first session.
Washington, June 12.— Senate.— Mr. Hamlin
, asked to be excused from serving as chairman of
! 'he committee on commerce. He said for the nine
years he had held a seat iu Senate he had almost
been a silent member. Upon the subject of sla
; very, that had so much agitated the country, he
had rarely uttered a word. lie loved his country
j niore than he loved any party—more than anv
i thing that could agitate and disturb its harmony.
He believed the repeal of the Missouri Compro
mise was a great moral and political wrong.
; Since, however, that wrong has been endorsed by
I the Cincinnati Convention, in its consummation j
j and results, he felt it his duty to declare that he i
could no longer maintain party associations with ;
any party that insisted upon such doctrines, und
he could support no man for President who avow
ed and recognized such doctrines. His motion to '
be excused was then agreed to.
Mr. Butler proceeded to reply to Mr. Sumner’s j
speech. The galleries were crowded with audi
i tors.
Mr. Butler said that the necessity for his ad
dressing the .Senate on this occasion was brought
about by events over which he had no control—
! events which have grown out of a controversy,
from the commencement of which the Senator
from Massachusetts, not how in his seat, (Mr.
Sumner,) would he held exclusively responsible
by his country and his God. He had delivered a
i speech, the most extraordinary that ever had utter
* ance in any legislative body, recognizing the
: sanctions of law and of the Constitution. ATI that
time Mr. Butler was not here, and what lie would
have done if he had been here,'it would now be
i perfectly idle o say, because no one can substi
tute the deliberations of a subsequent period for
. what might have taken place on the impulse of
j the moment.
d : His impression was, if lie had been here he
would have asked that Senator, before lie had fin
h ished some of the paragraphs personally applica
'• : ble to him to pause ; and if Mr. Sumner had goue
I* , on, he would have demanded that he should re
■ j tract or modify the offensive remarks, so as to
> bring them within the sphere of parliamentary
*’ propriety. If Mr. Sumner had refused to do this,
‘ Avhat he would have done he could not exactly
■ sav, but one thing he knew, and that was he would
not have submitted to it. To what mode of re
f dress lie would have resorted, he could not tell; he
1 would at least have assumed upon himself all the
responsibilities of a Senator from South Carolina, j
the consequences, let them fall where they might.
But instead of that, that speech had itivah-ed a
• friend and a kinsman to the extent that he had j
* j been obliged to put his fortune aud life at stake. !
Mr. Butler expressed the opinion that the j
< j speech of Mr. Sumner would be condemned by j
the public mind of the country, and would be con- I
signed to infamy by posterity, for the mischievous
consequences which leave flowed from it alreadv, I
and which were likely in the future to disturb the
peace and repose of the country. Mr. Butler had j
said nothing to justify the gross personal abuse j
and calumny with which he hail been assailed ; j
lie had been very guarded in his remarks during i
the whole of this exciting debate. Independently
of the personalities which had distorted and dis
: graced Mr. Sumner’s speech, there was nothing in j
it to distinguish it from all liis other Abolition
! speeches.
Instead of making his own speech here, under
the obligation of the Constitution, and in a dignified
manner, the Senator from Massachusetts had acted :
as the conduit, the i'ang through which to pour out
malignity and injustice. To conciliate Theodore !
Parker, the Senator must make war on South Car
olina and on himself, (Mr. Butleri. (t was the
purpose of that Senator to pander to the prejudice i
of a portion of Massachusetts. If the Senator
were now here he would make him hang his head
in shame and prove him a calumniator.
He accused Mr. Sumner of having pretended
to quote from the Constitution of South Carolina
that which is not found in it. Due thing is certain !
—either the Senator did not read that Constitu- !
lion, or if he did, he could not understand it.
Laughter, j
He noticed Mr. Sumner’s charge of the shame
ful imbecility of South Carolina during the revo- j
lutkinury war inconsequence of slavery, and refu
ted the allegation that but for Northern aid the
South could not have sustained itself in that !
struggle. South Carolina sent Massachusetts
bread and seventy barrels of wine. The Maine
law aviis not then iu operation. I Laughter.] The
very powder used by Massachusetts alter the bat
' tie of Bunker Hill was furnished by South Cato- •
Una, Avliich in the revolution, poured out hogs- j
heads of blood where M i • ;e. liusetls poured out j
but gallons. He eh.n u.■; -.1 the remarks of Mr.
Sumner applied to him indecent, and utterly j
unfit to he, as they \a eiv, .i. t.-■ ■ I in the presence of
a gallery of ladies.
Mr. Butler stoutly condemned the resolution of,
the Massachusetts Legislature relative to the as
sault on Mr, Sumner, saying that Mr. Brooks had
been indicted on mere newspaper rumor, and with
a precipitancy of judgment incompatible with leg
islative dignity and justice. Mr. Brooks could not
go into a drawing room or public place after Mr.
; Sumner’s speech was delivered without the .pies- !
ti.in being asked; “Has South Carolina chivalry
escaped ? and is there to be tame submission to
such insults ?” He felt as if he could not look
Ids constituents in the face without being daunted
with dishonor. The Senate had before been pro- !
; timed liv the Senator from Massachusetts.
He (Mr. Butler) would rather take ten blows |
than endure the gas of the rhectorician pouring .
out culutnqies upon his Slate. Something must,
therefore, be pardoned to the sensibilities of a nmn 1
acting under the dictates of manhood and honor. J
Without concluding, Mr. Butler gave wav for a I
motion to adjourn, which prevailed.
Horse. -Only one hundred and six members I
were present, and, for want of a quorum, the
House again adjourned.

GEORGIA MEDICATED SOAP.
| The Empire State of the South still ahead in her
' Improvements.
f BIIIIS article compare fay ora-
! -B- blv with any of like character
in the knoyvn yyorld.
I find that by putting it in the form ijOTHin"
of a Soap it gives it a decided advan lag a:
i tage over any Balm, Salve, Liniment.
or Ointment that can he made for the cure ot' dis
eases herein enumerated ; ii also prevents its vir
tues from being impaired by age or climate, and
renders it very convenient for use.
Its action is" prompt, and at the same time harm
less, as it. contains no mercurial or other prepara
tion injurious to the patient. This article. There
fore, being highly medicated, will cure Ulcers
i Cuts, Flesh Wounds, Ring and Tetter Worm Piles’
j Erysipelas, Scald Head. Itch, Nettle Rash, Salt

! extract scurf and dandruff from the head, thereby
| preventing premature baldness. It is also one of
the best remedies for Burns or Scalds, and will
; cure the Fistula and Scratches in horses; extrari
tar, paint and grease from clothing, and is also a
superior dentritice to the teeth. Forshaving soap
it forms a rich lather, softening the beard, and
curing such sores as mav be on the face.
In the curt* of all the enumerated diseases, and
particular old son.-, this soap has proved a’balm
indeed, by its yvonderful healing poyvers.
I can procure certificates innumerable yvere it
necessary, but believing that a single cake is only
requisite to prove its efficacy us above stated, and
wishing to avoid everything like hnmbuggerv 1
leave it to those who yviil give it a fair trial, "no ;
doubting they will then declare this to he the., e
plus ultra of the age in the healing art.
