l.tfES A* MBBIWKTHEB AJVD THE TEI.EeKAPU. This geatleman lias addressed a long letter to Editor® cf tlie Southern Recorder, which re j in the last number of that pnper in .1 of . tion to a report made by a committee kjclilio >* aS * member, appointed at the last • jn oftbe legislature to investigate the finan. ,]cooditi° n of the State. We hove but a few lids to bestow to-day on the tirade against us hat letter, and will not at any time be drawn j a long and unavailing discussion upon that ,,iv other subject with that gentleman—he nnot convince us, and we have no particular site to convince him. We think, however, s t without trying very hard he might have dtly improved his letter bo.h in temper and it ' V«t week wc will publish his letter as he j si*, and pay our respects to him by de- , c ],j n rr briefly the few points in the lettor jcb wc deem worthy of notice. )V'e publish in to-day’s paper the memorial jlr. Whitney, a citizen of the State of New rki praying Congress for the appropriation a certain portion of tho public domain, for construction of a Rail Road from Lake chigan through the Rocky Mountains and .gjn Territory, to the shores of the Pa- Ocean. We have inserted this memorial, . jhat ,ve believe either in its practicability in the right of Congress to make any. such iropriations, but because the project is cer- ly one of the most gigantic as well as mag- jeent that can well be imagined. A Rail id connecting the Atlantic and Pacific eans, is a project in all its bearings, of the $timportant character, as well from the ex iled commercial intercourse which such a tl ] would span, as from its advantage in a v.al point of view ; and we think on that aunt at least, that it is entitled to public in. ligation. }lr. J. Barnes has received at his book ie on Cotton Avenue, “ The Chimes,” a blin story by Dickens. We have not as yet time to peruse this last story of this cele- ted and very popular author, but if it has ftbc merit of his last Christmas tale, it is well th ten times the price it can be bought for, cenU. He has also received the 18th num- of Harper’s Pictorial Pible.

Smith a Rogers, cb will be found in to-day's paper. it the request of a number of the friends of elation, we republish this week some beau- lioes addressed to the Texian army, from pen of an esteemed correspondent, it is ecessary to commend their merit to our rca- -tliey speak for ihemsdves.

A FLARE UP IN CONGRESS. • following scene occurred in the House (d»y during the discussion of the Indian priation bill: • Giddings made some remarks upon the tot of the public money for the use of the **of slaves and for the payment for their ben in the service of the Government.— '■ went on at length upon the exactions the Government Treasury for the support a .' n ent of slaves. • Black said he would not reply to the from Ohio. That member hud been ^ about here by every body so long, and '•lie speech he had just made so many ■ that it had ceased to be a new thing.— r l e speech was made the first time, it -e merit of originality, but it had lost all fjjjjy. Now, said Mr. B., I wish to ask 1 •■ber from Ohio, if he knows any body ^s'a, any district id Georgia, any part of - J opposed lo the institution of slavery? .' !a >d he would yield the floor when the 1 p Was answered. idditjgs said he wis not the represen- I Georgia, or any part of it. After some conversation, in which allusion was ' , * negro who had drowned himself to ■ tlavery. ‘hack said that negro was a fellow of . character; he had frequently runa- II ois master, stole every thing he could suds upon, and was wholly unmanage- >>t was a specimen of the negroes for s ' m pathies of the member from Ohio i: cd) and whom he selected as exam ples of the horrors of slavery. Why, did the member ftom Ohio not recollect that he had been charged with going upon the common here and putting in a claim to a wagon that was used for stealing negroes—which had been clandestinely used for that purpose ? The man whose wagon it was, was named Torrev, a worthy associate, and co-mate, and co-laborer of the member from Ohio—a man who was now in the Maryland penitentiary. If lie were per mitted by the rules of the House, he would say the member from Ohio ought to be with him. [Laughter.] He knew that if such a thing could be put to the vote of this House, that he would be keeping company with t the Rev. Mr. Torrey. But the member from Ohio talked about his character ! Now lie asked that mem ber ifhc had not folded up a calico frock, and sent it under frank through the post office us a public document. The member from Ohio talked of “garments dyed with blood,” and that had reminded him (Mr. B.) of this calico garment. And how was that dyed ? It had the dye of fraud of this government upon it, and the member from Ohio after that, should not come here and talk about morality. The honorable gentleman made some further remarks, in which he told the member from Ohio to go home to his people to ascertain if he had any character there; for before God and the country, he (Mr. B.J declared that he had none here. Mr. McDowell inquired if all this was in or- dcr. Mr. Giddings. Oh, it is very interesting in deed. Mr. Burt entreated of his friend from Geor gia not to push this matter further. Mr. Black resumed. He had no more to say on that point. He regretted, as much as the gentleman from South Carolina could do, that lie had been led to refer to the member from Ohio. Since 1839, year after year had the gentleman from Ohio, indulged in slander on the people he (Mr. B.) represented, and had said that they were slave dealers, and men who hud no regard for morality or humanity. Day after day did Southern men sit there and cower under the assaults—the mendacious assaults, of northern members.— He spoke not of the member from Ohio alone, but of members who presented abolition p6lr-» tions on this floor, which, if they were carried to Georgia or South Carolina, and read to meetings there, it would be worth the life the man who dared to slander thus the people there. When such assaults were committed, should lie sit silently and take what his peo ple would not take. Civ.lily to these people was but “throwing pearls before swine the only way was to pay them hack in their own coin. He remembered, in 1839, the member had charged the whole people of Georgia with having instigated the Florida war by a theft on the Florida Indians. He (Mr. B.) had felt it incumbent on him at that time, amid a storm of order, to vindicate his people, and give the lie direct to the gentleman from Ohio. His people at home would have done it, and would have ev»n gone further—to the extent, as he had then told the member, of inflicting the Lynch law upon him. There was not a mem ber from the South or Southwest on this floor, who, if the member from Ohio were to walk up to him on the avenue, and read him a pnper as personal as nine-tentba of theabolition petitions presented here, would not knock him down in bi« tracks; and he (Mr. B.) would not surren der his natural rights here, by refraining to re pel such slanders upon the honor of his con stituents. Mr. Giddings said the scene that had been witnessed was not a new one to him. He had . been many times Similarly assailed upon this floor, and once a bowie knife had been drawn upon him. The gentleman from Georgia had threatened to knock him down. He had never seen a coward that did not talk loud. [Here Mr. Black, who had left his own seat upon the opposite side of the Hall, was seen standing by the side of Mr. Giddings, with on ly one member between the two. Raising his voice and leaning towards Mr. G., Mr. Black said, “If you will say out of doors what you have said here, I will knock you down.”— Mr. Hammett immediately prevented Mr. Black from carrying out his seeming purpose of strik ing Mr. Giddings, and took him behind the Speaker’s Chair.] Air. G. went- on and said further, that he had seen euch scenes as these before, and had before been threatened, and after a word or two in reply to Mr. Black’s charges against him, he closed. Mr. Black made a word or two apology to the Committee for the scene which had just oc curred, and after a word or two from Mr. Le vy and Mr. McKay, the Committee, rose, and the Bill was passed by the House. river, on the Pacific, is two thousand one hun dred and sixty miles ; making from New York to the Pacific three thousand miles, and can be performed in eight days. From Columbia ri ver to the Sandwich Islands is two thousand one hundred miles ; making from New York to the Sandwich Islands five thousand one hund red miles. From the Columbia river to Ja pan, is five thousand six hundred miles ; mak ing from New York to Japan eight thousand six hundred miles. From Columbia river to Amoy, in China, (the port nearest to the tea and silk provinces,) is six thousand two hund red miles ; making from New York to Amoy, only nine thousand two hundred miles; which, with a railroad to the Pacific, and thence to China by steamers, can be performed in thirty' days, being now a sailing distance of nearly seventeen thousand miles, and requiring from one hundred to one hundred and fifty days for its performance. Then the drills and sheet ings of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massa chusetts, and other manufactures of the United States, may be transported to China in thirty days; and the teas and rich silks of China, in exchange, come hack to New Orleans, to Charleston, to Washington, to Baltimore, to Philadelphia, New York, and to Boston, in thir ty days mare. Comment is unnecessary. Your honorallte body will readily see the revolution to be wrought by this, in the entire commerce of the world ; and that this must inevitably be its greatest channel—when the rich freights from tho waters of the Mississippi and the Hudson will fill to overflowing with the products of all the earth, the store-houses of New York and New Orleans, the great marts dividing the commerce of the world, while each State and every town in our vast Confederacy would re ceive its just proportion of influence and bene fits, compared with its vicinity to, or facility to communicate with, any of the risers, canals, or rail roads crossed bv this great road. Your memorialist would respectfully repre sent to your honorable body the political im portance of the project—that, affording a com munication from Washington to the Columbia th TIEBOBIAL To the Senate and House of Rcpres.nlativcs of the United States in Congress assembled: Your memorialist begs respectfully to repre sent to your honorable body, that, by rivers, rail roads, and canals, all the States east and north of the Potomac connect directly with tho waters of the great Lakes. That there is a chain of rail roads in projection and being built, from New York to the southern shores of Lake Michigan, crossingall the veins of communica tion to the Ocean, through all the States south and east of the Ohio river, producing commer cial, political, and national results and benefits which must be seen and felt through all our vast Confederacy. Your memorialist would further represent to your honorable body, that he has devoted much time and attention to the subject of a railroad from Lake Michigan through the Rocky Moun tains of the Pacific Ocean, and that he finds such a route practicable, the results from which would be incalculable—far beyond the imagi nation of man to estimate. To the interior of our wide-spread country, it would be as the heart is to the human body. It would, when all completed, cross all the mighty rivers and streams which wend their way to the Ocean, through our vast and rich valleys, from Oregon to Maine—a distuncc of more than three thou sand miles. The incalculable importance of such a chain of roads will readily be seen and appreciated by your honorable body. It would enable us, in the short space of eight days (and perhaps less) to concentrate all the forces of our vast country at any point from Maine to Oregon, in the interior or on the coast; such eusy and rapid communication, with such facilities for exchanging the different products of the differ ent parts, would bring all our immensely wide spread population together as in one vast city ; the moral and social effects of which must har monize all together as one family, with but one interest—the general good of all. Your memorialist respectfully represents further to your honorable body, that the roads from New York to Lake Michigan, a distance of eight hundred and torty miles, will no doubt be completed by the States through which they E uss, or by private individuals. That from rake Michigan lo the mouth of the Columbia river in less than eight days, a naval depot, wi a comparatively small navy, would command the Pacific, the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and the Chinese seas. Your memorialist begs respectfully to repre sent further to your honorable body, that he can see no ways or means by which this great and important object can be accomplished for ages lo come, except by a grunt of a sufficient quantity of the public domain ; and your me 1 morialist believes that from the proceeds of such a grant, lie will be enabled lo complete said road in a reasonable time, and at the same tune settle this vast region of country, so fur as the lands may be foutid suited to cultivation with an industrious and frugal people; thus, in a comparatively short space of time, accom plishing what would otherwise require ages and thus at once giving us the power of dicta tion to those who will not long remain satisfied without an attempt to dictate to us. Our system of free Government works so well, diffusing so much intelligence, dispensing equal mstice, and ensuring safety to all, and producing so much comfort and prosperity, that its influence must, like a mighty flood, sweep away all other systems. But, let us not flatter ourselves that this overwhelming current is not to meet resistance; for to us directly will that resistance be applied; and your memorialist believes that we must yet meet the desperate and final struggle which shall perpetuate our system and religious and civil liberty. Your honorable body nre aware of the over population of Europe; and your memorialist would respectfully represent that, by the appli cation of machinery and its substitution for manual labor, the latter no longer receives its just or sufficient reward; and thousands, in the fear of starvation at home, are driven to our shores, hoping, from our wide-spread and fei-- tile soil, to find a rich reward for their labors Many of them ignorant, and all inexperienced having been herded together in large numbers nt home, dread separation, even from misery ftfar the wilderness or the prairie, and refuse to leave the city. Their small means soon ex hausted, they see abundance around them, al most without price; but that small price they can no longer pay. Necessity plunges them into vice, and perhaps crime; and they become burdensome to our citizens—all which evils are increasing to an alarming extent; and your memorialist believes tliey must increase unless there can be some great and important point in our interior to which such emigrants can be at- traded immediately on their landing, and where their little means, with their labor, can purchase lands, where they will escape the tempting vices of our cities, and where they will havo a home, and their labor from their own soil will produce not only their daily bread, but, in time, an affluence of which they could never have dreamed in their native land. Your memorialist believes that this road will be the great and desirable point of attraction ; that it will relieve our cities from a vast amount of misery, vice, crime, and taxation ; that it will take the poor unfortunates to a land where they will be compelled to labor for n subsis tence, and as they will soon find that their la bor and efforts receive a just and sufficient re ward, finding themselves surrounded with comfort and plenty, the reward of their own toil, their energies will kindle into a flame of ambition and desire, and we shall be enable.] to educate them to our system—to industry, prosperity, and virtue. Your memorialist would further respectful, ly represent to your honorable body that, from an estimate as near accurate as can be made short of an actual survey, the cost of said road, to be built in a safe, good, and substantial man ner, will be about 850,000,000 ; and as the road cannot, from the situation of the uninhabi ted country through which it will pass, earn any thin"-, or but little, before its completion, then a further sum will he required to keep it in operation, repairs, &c, of $15,000,000—mak ing the total estimated cost of said road, when complete, the sum of 865.000,000. It may require some years beforo the earn ings of said road, at the low rate of tolls neces sary for its complete success, can be much, if any thing, beyond its current expenses for re pairs, &,c.; but, after a comparatively short pi riod of yiars, and at the very lowest possi ble rate of tolls, it must earn more than ample for its repairs and expenses. It would be 'he only channel for the commerce of all the wes tern coast of Mexico and South America, of the Sandwich Islands, Japan, all China, Manil la, Australia, Java, Singapore, Calcutta, and Bombay—not only all ours, but the commerce of all Europe, to the most of these places, must pass this road. Your memorialist says must, because the savin* of time, so all-important to the merchant, from the long and hazardous voyage around either of the capes, would com pel it ; and in a few years would bo built up towns, cities, and villages, from the lake to the ocean, which would ulone support the road. Being built from the public lands, the road should be free, except so far as sufficient for the necessary expenses of keeping it in opera tion, repairs, &e. ; and your memorialist be lieves that, at a very low rate of tolls, a sum would be gained sufficient, after all current ex penses, to make a handsome distribution for public education ; and, as a part of the earn ings oftbe road will be from foreign commerce, your memorialist begs respectfully to subm.t the subject to your wise consideration. Your memorialist respectfully further repre sents to your honorable body, that,, from the knowledge lie can procure, he finds that the lands for a long distance east of the mountains are oflittleor no value for culture; that through and for some distance beyond, the mountains would also be of very little, if any, value ; and therefore your memorialist is satisfied tr.at it will require an Entire tract of sixty miles in width from as near to Lake Michigan ns the unappropriated lands commence to the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, in view of all the impor tant considerations here set forth, your memo rialist is induced to pray that ) r our honorable body will grant to himself, his heirs, and assigns, such tract of land, the proceeds of which to be strictly and faithfully applied to the building and completing the said road—always with such checks and guaranties to your honorable body as shall secure a faithful performance of all the obligations and duties of your memorial ist ; and that, after the faithful completion of this great work, should any lands remain un sold, or any moneys due for lands, or any bal ance of moneys received for lands sold, and which have not been required for the building of this road, then all and every of them shall belong to your memorialist, his heirs, and as signs forever. Your memorialist prays further that your honorable body will order a survey of said route, to commence at some point to be fixed upon, as most desirable, on the shores of Lake Michigan, between the 42d and 45th degrees of north latitude ; thence west to the gap or pass in the mountains ; and thence, by the most practicable route, to the Pacific Ocean. Your memorialist would respectfully repre sent one further consideration to your honoable body—that, in his opinion, Oregon must fast fill up with an industrious, enterprising people from our States, and that they will soon attract and draw to them people from the different States of Europe, all expecting to share in the benefits of our free Government, claiming its care and protection ; but the difficulty of ac cess to them, either by land or water, will for bid such a hope. And your memorialist be lieves that the time is not far distant when Ore- gon must become a Slate of such magnitude and importance as, unless this rapid mode of in tercommunication shall be employed in preser ving the Union, to compel the establishment of a separate Government—a separate Nation, which will have cities, ports, and harbors, all free, inviting all the nations of the earth to a free trade with them, where they will control and monopolize the valuable fisheries of the Pa cific, control the coast trade of Mexico and South America, of the Sandwich Islands, Ja pan, and all China, and be our most dangerous and successful rivals in the commerce of (he world. .But your memorialist believes that this road will unite them to us, enabling them to receive the protect ng care of our Government, sharing in its blessings, benefits, and prosperity, and imparting to us our share of the great bene fits from their local position, enterprise, and in dustry. Rut your honorable body will see all this, and more ; arid your memorialist, as in du ty bound, will ever pray. January 28, 1S45. A. WHITNEY. FOR THE TELEGRAPH. TO THE TEXAN ABNV.

From a bruise, or Qowbolsotne air which has become mixed with the blood, not incorporated in it, but which is liable to taint the whole mass if not speedily removed. Or the pain may arise from bile which lias become bad, rancid, putrid, in consequence of the want of power in the proper organs to discharge it.— This pain which so frightens people is only the symp toms of the efforts of Nature, (or the vital principle of the blood,) to JBXPLL the Peca.vt or impure matter, which would otherwise destroy the human fabric. All diseases are of the solids or fluids, or both. When we have pain in our head, or in our foot, in our throat or in our back oa bowels, let us bnt be satisfied that it is produced by the ef forts of our blood to throw out morbific matter, and if this be so, if we car but believe and understand this, our cure will be easy and generally sure. For our course will then be to help Norc.re to throw off the morbid matter, not to taxe away the blood. For the blood. EVERY DROP WE HAVE IS HIE QUIRED TO INSURE ULTI MATE HEALTH to the body, we must NOT LOSE A DROP; neither must we use any medicines internally which are uot perfectly hanrfless, if applied externally to the body. So we must not use any of Ihe preparations of mercury, neither must wc use any vegetable medicine of CORROSIVE POWER. In order to discriminate between Truth, which is eternal, and conjecture, which is like a transient vision, we must bo guided by the light of EXPERIENCE. To what does experience direct? TotheFREE USE OF DR. BRAN- DRETH’S PILLS in all cases of boaily suffering. As this advice is followed. SO WILL THE HEALTH OF THE BODY 3E. The writer has long used them, and has never found them fail of imparting relief. In all ocute diseases let Brandreth Pills and mild diet be used, and the patient will soon be restored to good health. In chronic complaints let lie Pills be used as often as convenient, by which means ths vitality of the blood will be improved, and a crisis will be generally brought about ; the disease being changed to acute, a few’ large doses of Pills and a few days confinement to the house, will change the chronically dis eased individual to a sound inan. This is no figure of the imagination; it can be proved by a thousand matter-of-fact men who have experienced it. REMEMBER, in all ca ses of disease, no matter whether it be a cold or a cough ; whether it be asthma or consumption : whether it be rheu matism or pleurisy: whether it be typus of fever-and-ague, or bilious lever: cramp or hooping cough ormeasels; wheth er it be scarlet fever or small pox ; that the Pills known as Brandreth’s Pills, will, surely do more than all the medi cines of tlio Drug Stores for your restoration to health, and v/bat is more will sorely do vou no harm.
