The throe were committed for trial. Correspondent of the Baltimore American. In Senate. "ivi o: - 0 Abolition movements in the Senate. .More - petitions —more discussion—more ex citement. Another fire-brand was thrown in to tne Senate Cuamber this morning, in the j form of a series of Resolutions from tne Legis- j hmre of Vermont. Mr. Swift, one of the Vt. | Senators, was the bearer of tne despatches. 1 At ms request, the resolutions were read by ! the Secretary of the Senate, and the excite- | meat occasioned by the reading was much | m ire general and extensive than that created ! hv the discussion of yesterday. The rcsolu- 1 ♦ io.us made severe strictures upon Slavery and | the Slave Trade, with some harsh allusions to the slave-holding State. Tie reading over, two or three Senators sprang to the floor. Tie eye of the V ice President first fell upon Mr. King of Alabama who said that the resolutions were infamous, come from what source they might. They con tain a gross libel upon the Soutn, and deserve, and he hoped would receive no respect and no consideration at the hands oi the Senate. Mr. Swift replied that no threats would de ter him from doing his duty to his State, and defending the Legislature of Vermont. Mr. Calhoun followed, with some severe strictures upon the resolutions, presented by .Mr. s\vX. They were, iie said, a heavy blow noon the Confederacy —a deeper wound than Ind before been inflicted by any Senator, or by any State. A debate, long and protracted, was threat <mc*l. Some were for hurrying it on—for bringing the whole subject before the Senate, aid others for postponing it for a week, and o her-j indefinitely. At the request of Mr. Clay, who forsaw that a storm was gathering, and that an angry debate would be the conse quence, Mr. Swift withdrew the resolutions for the purpose of presenting them on i uesday next. The Resolutions were withdrawn, and the Pandora’s box was closed for to-day, and prob ably until Tuesday next. Tne explosion will then be tremendous, for Mr. Calhoun, Mr. Preston, Mr. Clav of Alabama, and a host of •others are ready and eager for discussion. — The Resolutions from Vermont, will prove the greatest fire-brand that has been thrown into Congress since the beginning of the Abolition lever. The end! What will it be? Where will it be? The Resolutions being withdrawn, the re mainder of the day was past in the considera tion of petitions and reports from Standing Committees. The sesation ended with closed doors, and an Executive Session. Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Meeting of tlie Sonthern Members. In the House, to-day, Mr. Slade, of Ver mont, spoke two hours in support of a motion, which he ma le, to refer an abolition petition to tlie Committee on the District of Columbia, with instructions to report a bill for the immedi ate abolition of slavery and the slave trade in the District of Columbia. It was a thorough abolition speech, full of gleanings from the pages of tlie Liberator and Emancipalor, and the writing of the“ martyr” Lovejoy, as the abolitionists term that miscreant incendiary, lie was frequently called to order, but persisted in going on with the discussion of slavery in. ?le abstract., and slavery in the States, from w li-eli he was, at length, peremptorily called to orb*-, an 1 directed to take his seat. M\ W sc called noon bis colleagues, though, as he sail, with no feeling of excitement —to with him from the House, in odrer to con s’l’/ noon the course proper to be taken at this crisis. Mr. Holsev, of Georgia, ma lea similar call upon his colleagues. Mr. Rhelt, of S. C. staled to the House that the members of the South Carolina Dele gation had already signed an agreement to meet at 3 o’clock, to consider what was to be done. Mr. Robertson, of Va., appealed to the whole body of the Southern Members, to re tire and deliberate upon the case now present ed. Mr. Slade asked leave to proceed in order. Mr. Renchcr, of N. C. moved an adjourn ment and the House adjourned. Yeas. 106— Nays 63. Mr. Campbell of S. C., prior to adjourn ment, staled that ho was deputed to state that the Southern Members were about to hold a meeting in the Committee Room, of the Com mittee on the District, and to invite the attend ance of all tlie members from the slaveholding states. Four o'clock , P. M. —The meeting oi the Southern Members has not adjourned. The correspondent of the Southern Patriot gives some further details, .is follows : “ Mr. Lcgare begged to say a lew A ords be fore the gentleman from Vermont (Mr. Slade) proceeded further. He would earnestly entreat that gentleman to ponder well, on the course he was pursuing, in relation to a subject winch involved the interests of a nation and a conti kient. He would tell him, that if, as had been (stated, there was ‘ a spirit aroused in the North,' that spirit would encounter another spirt in the South, equally stubborn and unflinching. |f the question of slavery was forced on the people, of the South, they would lie ready to Snoot it, and would not snrink from the com bat—they would be found ready to take tne gauntlet whenever it should be thrown down. “ Mr. Slade resumed his remarks, in tiie same style, and doled out a huge mass ol trash from the publications of Garrison, 1 appall, and other incendiaries. He was several times called to order by Mr. Wise, for discussing I the subject of slavery in the State of Virginia, but Mr. S. persisted in his course. “Mr. Rhett. I rise to a point of order.— The question of order is whether the member from Vermont has a right to go into the con sideration of Slavery in the State of V irginia. I say he has not, and if it is insisted on, I re quest the whole Southern Delegation to go in to the room of the Committee on the District of Columbia. “The Chair said that he had repeatedly in terfered, but to no purpose. But as parliamen tary rules did not permit him to express his opinion on the subject under debate, he felt it hisfdutv to sav, that if it were in his power to stop the discussion and to allay the excitement he would do so. “ Mr. Turney rose to a question of order. “ Mr. Slade.' 1 ask leave to read a paper. “ Mr. Grantland. I object to it. “ The Speaker desired Mr. Slade to take hiJseat. “ Mr. S. was again about to proceed, when “ Mr. McKay asked if the member from Vt. had not already been declared out of order. ? Speaker. He has. “M r. McKay. Then lie has no right to proceed. “ The Speaker again desired Mr. Slade to take his seat. “ Mr. Slade still rising to proceed, a motion was made that he be allowed solo do. On which, the yeas and nays were ordered, but “ Mr. Rcncher moved the House do now adjourn, (half past 2,) which was decided in the affirmative. So the House adjourned. ’ Mr. Patton’s Resolution, that all petitions, memorials, and papers, touching the abolition of slavery, or the buying, selling or transfering of slaves in any State District, or Teritory, of the United States, be laid upon the table with out being debated, read, printed or refered, and that no further debate whatever, shall be had thereon, l eas 122 Nays 74. NATURE. Surely there is nothing in the world, short of the most undivided reciprocal attachment, that has such power over the workings of the human heart, as the mild sweetness ol nature. Ihe most ruffled temper, when emerging from the town, will subside into a calm at the sight of an extended landscape reposing in the twilight of a fine evening. It is then that the spirit of pence rests upon the heart, unfetters the thoughts, and elevates the soul to the Creator. It is then, that we behold the parent of the Universe in his: works we see his grandeur in earth, sea and; sky,—we feel his affection in the emotions | ! which thev raise; and half-mortal, hub ethori-j j! a ]ized, forget where we arc in the anticipation! Jofwhat that world must be, of which this lovely j ' earth is merely the shadow. Wc rntVrstend that on j’eslcrduy, a steam boat arrived at Rome, from Wetumpka. Georgia Pioneer. Colonization Society.

That vernal day With stealthy swiftness glides away, And like the fair Ephemeral flow’r Will waste its sweetness in an hour. Is it in Manhood’s riper years ? The ago of chilling cares and fears— When deepening thought is bent to gain Corroding dross, the price of pain. Is it in Age’s withering bloom ? When fast we ’re hastening to the tomb, Without a hope our path to charm, And fears of dreary death disarm. Or is it found in Fancy’s dream ? Where momentary pleasures gleam ; Or where in Folly’s giddy round Loud mirth and festive glee abound. No, reader ! ’Tis in Heaven alone We e’er may hope true bliss to own— ’Tis onlv there that sorrows cease, And “ all is Happiness and peace.” OSCAR. utixiasam^ On Tuesday evening last, bv the Rev.

BY THE LATEST MAILsT By the intelligence which we give below ir will be found that all hope of settling the difficulties with tho Seminole Indians, in Florida, is at an end for the pre sent. We had thought, as we presume most of our readers have, that this troublesome war was at nn end ; but such, it appears, is not the fact. War and bloodshed are around us on every hand, and promises a long con tinuance ; how soon it will be among us none can till; that there is a probability of it none can doubt. For the present, from the latest accounts, wo gather that the Abolition question is so tiled for this session, tho resolution of Mr.Patton, of Virgiuia, being carried, which is in amount the same offered by Mr. Pinckney, of 3. Carolina, two sessions since; and which resolution lost him his election in that State. The southern members, it is said, evinced great moderation while debating and caucusing upon this subject. This is all vary good ; but there are some features in this case, which we do not like, it looks too much like consession on the part of the south; however, tee shall see. The Deputation of Cherokee Indians ar rived here on Monday last, in the Steamer San tee, on their return from Florida. Wc learn from them that all hopes of an amicable ter j initiation of the Seminole war, are at an end for the present. At their last interview with the Chief Sam Jones, his parting message to Gen. Jesup was, that “ he might catch him if he could”—but that, having seized upon Oseo la and the other chiefs who accompanied him, jin violation of a flag of truce, he (Sam Jones) would not trust to him. The imposibility of following the Indians through the interminable swamps and ever glades to which they have retreated, and their ability to sustain themselves there for any pe riod of time, upon the natural productions oF the earth, renders it, in the opinion of our in formants, very uncertain when the contest can be brought to a close. A portion of tbe Cherokees wc understand, will proceed to Washington, whilst others will take the more direct route to their homes. Charleston Courier. $3“ A ferry boat sank on die Waterce River, (S.
