WASHINGTON, Teh. 83.
In the Senate to-day, when the journal was
read, Mr. Fairfield of Maine, offered two reso
lutions; the first to appoint a select committee
of seven to investigate the causes that lead to Mr.
Gilley’s death, and all the circumstances con
nected therewith; and the second to invest
the committee with power to send fsr petsohs
ami papers.
BELL, rs Term, objected to the investiga ion
at this time ai improper, and hoped they might
be postponed for a week or two. Fairfield
moved a suspension of rules, which was carried.
He then supported the resolutions on the grounds
of the necessity of learning all the facts, and also
as they- might lead to the adoption.
JOHNSON of Md. condemned them as beyond
J the legitimate action of the House, and as in-
I ferring that the statement made by the seconds
in lire papers, were unsatisfactory. It would
also lead to litigation and many other vexatious
consequences.
PARKERof New York, supported the reso
lution, and said Congress had power to protect
at least the District of Columbia.
Col. DAWSON of G*. oppossed them. He
would nut willingly vole for a law agaimt duel
ling. But wby curry on lira proposed investi
gation, for the purpose of procuring arguments
against lire practice.
MORRIS of Penn, moved an amendment by
adding, instructions for the committee to report
a bill for the suppression of duelling.
JOHNSON of Md. moved to amend them
further by directing the committee to inquire
into the propriety of regulating the strong per
sonalities made use of hy members in debate.
After some discussion, a motion was made
to lay tee whole subjeel on lb.' table—lost.
The debate being renewed, Fairfield modified
his resolution, so as to extend the inquiry, as to
I whether in the c;:c allud.ad ro, there bid been
j any breach of privilege of the House. Previous
question was called fur.—After somo further dis
cussion the vote was takeu on the resolutions
9
which wore carried.
Mr. MORRIS presented his instructiont for
th# coinmilte'o in the form of a resolution; and
it: that form wore adopted.
On motion ofMr. EVANS, the Speaker was
directed to notify the Governor of Maine, that
there was a vacancy in the representation of
that State in Congress.
Mr. JENIFER, of Md. offered a resolution t«
!•» # . !* f
prevent members from using personalities and to
expel them if they did not in such cases obey a
cull to order; but a motion to adjourn cut it
short.
In the Senate, Mr. DAVIS spoke against the
sub-treasury bill.
Mr. PRENTISS of Vt., gave notice that he
would introduce a bill for the suppression a f
duelling. The pleading in the mandamus case
is finished, and a devision will be given in a few

FROM THE FRONTIER.
Our accounts by the mails for the last two
days give an unexpected and unwelcome as
pect to the stale of tilings on the northern anil
western frontier. Letters from Ogdonsburgh
and Watertown represent the entire border
as in a slate of great excitement, undersimnl
laiteous and extensive preparations for hostile
movements upon Canada. We cannot but
think that the accounts are greatly exaggera
ted, but they afford sufficient ground fur ap
prehension that the frontier troubles are not
yet over.
These letters arc chiefly addressed to the
Executive, and are from citizens of nmtoubt.
ed character. The dates are from Water
town o' the22nd inst, and Loin Ogden.-burgh
to 10 o'clock on the night of the 22nd
Go dcnsbu&oit, Feb 22.
‘•I have just travelled through these coun
ties, and arrived here last night, and am sur
prised to find that such extensive preparations
have been made, and that 100 without exci
ting any public attention until within the last
day or two. It seems, however, that individ
uals have been some time past engaged in
scouring the country with sleighs, and solicit
ing provisions and properly ot every descrip-.
lion for the poor Canadians, who, it was rep
resented, had been driven from their homes,
&c. Various accounts are given ot the state
of public feeling in Canada, some saying that
the people there are collecting and making
preparations to assist in the movement from
this sidte, and others representing the great
mass of the population us loyal. However
tins may be, there cm be no doubt that a
movement is m contemplation Irom some point j
between this and French Creek, and, irom all
accounts, it may be an energetic one, and
such a one as will be likely 'u provoke aggres
stoos from the other side. Every body that
I have seen for the last two or three days at.
all the taverns, &c., seems to expect Unit an
attempt is to bo made Immediately. Persons
by the sleigh load have gone on, and I see no
reason to clqiibt that a very considerable force
may by this nine be on its way over life river
‘•A slelell load of the principal citizens
here have gone up with tho view to
dissuade their tellow citizens from ehgagmg
in such an enlerprize, but they think with
In tle chance of success, now that the mutter
has proceeded so tar.
"Gen. Wool mid been written to, I under

been heard from.
“If an invasion of Canada should bo made
in the present state of fueling, both on this
side and that, and under the c rcumstances in
which this movement has been got up in'he

der the face and eyes of the public authorr
Ues, we may well apprehend a serious att nipt

Dour Sirs—l arrived here last evening and
found a high slate of feeling on the stale of
Canada affairs- The patriot lortcs were
: concentrating at French C'tcdc. on the fSt.
Lawrence, 20 miles north of this place. To
day it is said they have crossed over to Hick
ory Island, in the Canada channel of the St.
Lawrence. Their number is variously esti
mated -from live hundred to two thousand
men.—Their intended movement or point of
attack is only conjectured. It is said to be
Kingston by some; by others, that their object
is to make a stand on Canadian ground, to
give confidence to the people in favor of a
rev ilmion, and when sufficient force shall
have joined the standard, then to act on the
offensive, and adopt such plans as shall be
thought advissh e.
The people of Kingston ore in a high slate
of esc.lenient and anxiety. They anticipate
an attack, and have barricaded their streets
—raised ice breast works ill front of the town
on thcj river—keep up a vigilant police, and
what force they can muster under arms.
Some little apprehension is tell hy the fron
tier towns, that an attack may be made hy
tlic loyalists in case the patriots should 'haz
. ard a, battle and he driven b .ck. Orders are
therefore being issued, calling out the mditia.
The pioapeet is, there will be stirring limes
here lor a few days.
All from Syracuse except niysu'f have gone
with many citizens of this place, to French
Creek. * * * * They will
probably return this evening, or in the morn
ing, ami then 1 shall be able to write more de
finitely on the movements of the patriots. 1

the appearance of an extensive correspond

A rumor has reached here that Gen. Wool
has been ordered on to ISapkcts Harbor,
which gives some relief to those whose tears
hsve been excited aboiitian. attack from the
Canadians—or rather, the Indians, who have
been called in to the defence of Kingston, to
the number of 2UO or 3UU.

DttariifCTtv* Conplaoiiatio;i.— We have
again to record the destrucUonjof a large amount
of property by lire, ut the scene of conflagration
on the night of the 16th December, 1835. At
about 7 o’clock, last ‘CV'ilMng, the brick store
building in Coenties Slip, near Front street, oc
cupied by Joan Ormond, its a Ship Chandlery
Store, was discovered to bo on fire in seepnd
story. The alarm was given, ami every effort
made to arrest,the 'progress of the (lames, but its,
ing to the inflammable ingredients with which
the ware house was filled, added to the stale of
the atmosphere, the flames attained such an as
cendency that they could not he subdued until
the stores adjoining on each side, occupied by
Mr Brewer, as a Provision Store, and the large
building of Messrs,' Craig A Dcllicker, Grocers,
cornet of Front-street, were laid waste, together
with a greater pan of ihetr contents.
From the Btchmond Whig
j rtonJOi. — VVe have been favored with (he
perusal of letters from Florida, of the Blb and
9th of the present month, from an eificcr engag
ed in the arduous service in that region, lie
says: "Wo have reached the much talked of
Evergdgdep, and have, the last two days; marched
through mud, grass and water, from 3 to 3 feel
deep, scarcely finding dry space enough to en
camp upon at night. This campaign has been
by far the most arduous and laborious of any since
the war commenced. Every one from the Cr n
aral dowtp has done bis duty to the best of bis
ability. To describe a country which almost
beggars description, would exceed the limits of a
camp letter.” •
This gentleman writes at a spot about 20 miles
south,<)f Fort Jupiter. He describes a dillicult
march through h.iars, thick bearded saw grass,
(which is strong, and from its name cuts badly.)
in black mud up to the waist, and crossed where
ten Indians might defy u hundred of the best
troops in the world, from the peculiar situation
of the country. He states, ilialat the solicitation
of a negro-prisoner, a talk was hail with the In
dians. "When the advanced guard had marched
very near the Indian*, we found lltein, as they
always are f with their rifles cocked, lo (’re upon
us. When this negro found them by a very
different trail, the Indians told him, (whom at first
they were for killing,) that if he was going to do
good, ho must slop Hie Army, and they would
then believe hint. <)n his making his uppearanc ,
tho advanced guard, as also the balance of llic
si my, halted, anil Lien. Jesttp with several officers
visited, or rather met, the Indians. They being
young warriors,commanded by Jlailjo, and mere
ly a scouting party, staled that they wers tired
of the war, but could not tnnko any terms, as the
chiefs were nor there. They requested until 12
to-day, (the Bth,) when they would again seethe
General, and have a talk; ami while 1 am writing,
Gen. Jesnp, with several officers, arpl a force at
hand sufficient to guard against stratagem and
surprise, are now in council about half a tnilo oil',
and 1 hope something may he done to put an end
lo this almost interminable war—interminable, I
say, because the Almighty has placed these sava
ges in a counliy inhabited only by themselves,
and where Xenophon’s army mold not displace
them so long as they choose to remain. They
have fastnesses and hiding places, where they
he in ambush, wail until we conic up, fire upon
the advance, kill anil wound, and then tun off.”
Ttte writer says there is but one opinion as to
the policy of permitting the Indians to remain,
lie passes a high compliment upon Gen. Jesup,
who, he says, has done every thing that any man
could have done. He adds, "it would have filled
your.bot-oiu with pleasure, to have seen, on the
d.iyol ihu battle (at l.oclta Hatchee) these men
charge the Hammock and swim the creek, in llic
lace of the enemy hid behind their trees, and
amidst their (ires and savage yells. Col. Z.

Oil, Mermaid of the pearly cuvus
That qlillcr in the dorp:
Oil, Mermaid of the octmti waves
Oil do you over vleep?
Say, lovely stranger poet's child.
Art doomed to be forever wild?
Oh, tell mo, Mermaid ol the non,
(dh didst thou ever love?
Are there bright being! 'neuth the so.*.,
As bright a* those above?
Bay, stranger of the ocean's foam,
Ara coral caves thy only home?
Say, witching, lovely, spray-horn child,
Oh didst thou ever sec
Such flowers a< grow in forests wild
Beneath the angry seu?
Oh tell me, angel of the wave,
Doit love a breeze thy brow to lava?
Say, elranger of the glitlciing oprny „
Which forms the wavelet’s crest,
Oh do you love a sunlit day
And night’s calm, silent rest?
flify, child of ocean’s hiighlcst cave,
Dost love the sunlight on the wave?
When crimson blushes light the sky
• , And buds their songs are sighing,
When flowers ate seen with softest dye
In rosy tints outvieing—
host thou not wish,fair ocean hello.
Among these lovely scenes to dwell?
Or wouldst thou brave the thunder-storms
And live where tempests wild
Are seen to wreck the vessels’s form —
Oh! wouldst thou, ocean child?
Wouldst thou the lightning’s anger bravo,
And ride the tempest's maddened wave?
Then mock tho storm, the tempest brave
And ndu tho foam crest billow,
And when thou dies! thou shall have
A diamond for thy pillow;
Thy grave shall tic a grotto wild
To suit thee, lovely ocean 'child,

‘Do you give out work Imre?"
‘Not to strangers,' wan tin; reply,
‘The stranger,’ turned and walked away.
‘That purse in very cheap ma’am '
•Ido nut wish it now,’ mid I, and taking tip
my parasol, I left the shop, and followed the
stranger lady. ,
Passing Tltompnon’s, sin; paused—went in
hesitated —then tun ed and came out- 1
now saw her face—it was very pale—her
hair, black as night, was parted on her fore
1, ead —her eyes, too, were very black, uml
tluro was a wildness in them that made me
shudder. Mite passed on up Broadway to
Grand street, where she entered a miserable
looking dwelling. 1 paused— slmii'd I follow
farther! She was evidently suffering much
I was happy—blessed with wealth, and oh,
how blessed in husband i h Idron, friends! 1
knocked —the door was opened by a cross,
looking woman—
‘ls there a person living hero who doe«
plain sewing,’ I inquired,
‘I guess not,’ was iho reply. ‘There is «
woman up stairs, who used to work, but she
can’t gel no more to do—and I shall turn her
out to morrow.’
‘Let, me go up,’ said 1, ns, passing the wo
man with a shudder. I ascended the stairs.
•You can keep on up to the garret,’ cite
screamed altar me—and so I did and llterc I
saw a sight of which 1 the child of affluence,
hail never dreamed ! Too lady had thrown
off her hat, and was kneeling hy the side of a
poor low bed. Her hair had fuller) over her
shoulders —she sobbed not —breathed not—
but scouted motionless, her face buried in tbe
covering of the wretched, miserable bed,
whereupon lay her husband. He was sleep,
ing. 1 looked upon Ins high pale forehead,
around which clung masses of dantp, brown
hair—it was knit, and the pale liaryl clenched
the bed clothes- word* broke from It a lips—
I cannot pay you now,’ I heard him say, Poor
fellow ! veil-in ins dreams, his poverty haun
ted him! I could hear it, no longer, mid
knocked gently on the door, the lady raised
her head, threw hack her long black hair, and
gazed wildly upon me. It was no time for
ceremony—sickness, sorrow, want, perhaps
starvat on, were before me—‘l came to look
lor a person to do plain work’ was all I could
«av.
•O give it to me.’ she sobbed. Two days
! we have not tasted food ! —and to morrow I
Sha paused, ind tried to fiuisb the sonteocc,
but could not. She knew that to-morrow they
vvould he both homeless and starving !
ii° Coll dbrted—you shall want no more !’
1 Kept my words, in a few days she told
?1? . d:, >’ 8 Ul,< l happiness in a sunny
Vv cst India isle, her childhood’s home. W
, of her lather and mother— of a cru
el sister and brother-in-law—how she Jelt that
home, hoping to find a brother in America—
how she sought him in vain, but found instead
a husband—he, too, an Englishman, a gentle
man,and scholar, was thrown upon the world,
sympathy deepoi'ed into love—alone in a
crowd, all the world to each other—they mar.
ried—he procured employment in a school,
she plain needle work. Too close attention to
ihe duties of his school, lung walks, ahdscan
■ ty tare, brought ill health mid confined him at
length 'o his bed. The shop from which Ins
poor wile obtained work fulled and their re
sources was cut off. Shu had looked 1 long,
weary days (nr employment*—many had noni
to give, others gave no work to ‘stranger*.’
1 hits 1 (bund them—to comfort them for a
hulo time—then I trust they found a Com
forter in Heaven!
The husband cited first—died placing ilia

a little while beside her, and looked »o sadly in
my face, that my own heart seemed well pjgh
