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 Jays. M, From the Albany Argus, Feb. 86. 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.

Tim following ia an extract of a let:or from { one of the citizens alluded to in the preceding extract, who lode to the scone of excitement. , It is dated. f Oodknsburciu, Feb. 22—10 at night. “At Morristown, we received information 1 on which we can rely, that the gathering of people was at French creek, Jefferson county, b exclusively.

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.

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.
