But both sacred revelation and mythological tradi tion bear witness to tbe early birth of the sentiment that found expression in the peculiar literature of yesterday. The first longing of Adam, while a bachelor in the garden that supplied every other want, was a “help-rneet.” Grecian my thology taught that Eros, or Love, sprang directly from Chaos, and was the most ancient of all the gods; that F.ros incited Chaos to bring forth tho other gods with its op- WASHINGTON. plication to the seasons, Chaos might well represent tho cloBe-binding rigor of win ter, and Eros tho germ or awakening in fluence of spring, which is generally first felt about tbo middle of February. Whether, therefore, there ovor was a St. Valentine or not, tho selection of this oc casion for tho fancied mating of birds and tho expression of the earliest and ton- derest sontiment of which traditiou uud naturo give any evidence, scorns to havo boon u very appropriate ono. In our first recollections of thorn, Val- ontinoH wore quite a different thing from those now so profusely circulated. Forty years ugo, tho caricaturist and profession al rhymer had not supplied the country with printed missives to supersede orig inal compositions aud obviate the neces sity for the exercise of native mother wit. Tho clinugo muy be a convenience, but wo question whotber it is an improvement. In those good old times the general form of the valentine was u circular or angulur paper, cut Into u variety of sections that baroly held together, and the tracing of tho lobyrinthian course of tho verso was of itsolf a matter requiring tho exureiso of ingenuity. Tho verso was thou original, iu pari at least, and though often crude and ridiculous, it sffordod a bettor index of tho sentimontn of tho sender than the patent pictured uud printed vulentines of ir day can afford. But time bus changed this, nnd now ir bookstores are unuually filled wdth printed aud illustrated vulentines, of both tho sentimental and comic kind, to s every taste and emotion. Hundreds these passed through the postoffico v terday, and have lmd their effect in cu ing pleasure, tuorriuiont or mortiflenth But thoro were still some who prefer; tho good old mode of sending original compositions, and from tho nuuibc these that have couio under our inspec tion wo select two, of tho epigrammatic stylo, which appear to us well pointed and nontly gotten up. Tho first, ad dressed to a young lady, coutaiood a min iature looking-glass, onoiroled with flow ery wreaths uud horderH, and underneath the original vorses : Men ofien frot, with vain rogret, Ol thtitluwi o or thoir view; But tho Ulroet object In my sight— Thu vision that givon mo most tlullght— a thiule muht Boom tu you.

If it ho true that flattery is the shortest cut to a woman’s heart, we imagine that this neat turn rouchod a tender spot. Tbo next original duo which wo shall give is of quito a different character. It is of what is called tho “comic” descrip tion, hut wo opiuo dinbolicul would boltor dofiue it. But it bus point and a moral, and wo hopo will have tho needed olleot. It was addressed to a young man not ovorscrupulqiis iu his observance of strict veracity, and was surmounted by tho fig ure of “Old Scratch'’ bearing off, impaled on his pitchfork, a writhing and woo begone being.

Tho House Committee on Hailroads and Canals have determined to report favor ably tho bill for the construction of tbo Fort St. Philip Canal around tho mouths of the Mississippi. Tho amount of the appropriation is left blank, but the friends the measure aro determined to push an initial appropriation of ono million dollars. An effort is being made to iu- tluco tho friends of tho several rnilroad bills to unite in favor of this canal. 'The special advocates of tho ruilroad scheme are from tho upper portion of the Missis sippi valley, which is moro directly tribu tary to Chicago, whilo tho advocates of the Fort St. Philip Canal are from the section which is immediately tributary to Ht. Louis and New Orleans. If these sections can bo united thoro can bo no doubt of tho success of. tho canal scheme, but the rivalry of Chiongo aud St. Louis may bo maintained to tho danger of tbo cuual. Major Howell, of tbo army, who has had charge of tho improvement of the mouths of tho Mississippi for some time, has made a report regarding the St. Philip Canal. 'This report bus been submitted to a Board of seven army engineers, who have given it favorable indorsement. Major Howell estimates the cost at $7,- 00,000, but to cover all contingencies tho Board bus placed the estimates at $10,000,000. Tho Southern nnd Western members have been for sumo time engaged iu pre paring a bill extending aid to national in ternal improvement projects. It is n nv completed, and will bo intro duced in both Houses at an early day. It has special referonco to tho Atlantic and Groat Western Canal, but is intended as a basis on which aid can be extended to other enterprises of like na- turo. Tho bill provides that on tho com pletion of ten miles of this caunl, tho Secretary of War shall so certify, and the Secretary of tho Treasury is thou author ized to certify on tho face of tho first mortgage bonds of tho company, to bo issued to tho amount of $80,000 per mile, that tho work has boeu completed iu ac- corduuoo with tho requirements, etc. Tho bonds tluiH certified aro thou to bo depos ited with tk<> Comptroller of the Curren cy, who shall issue currency upon them not to oxcoed the face of tho bonds. Tho canal company is required to deposit an nually with tho Socrotary of the Treasury one sixth of this currency to go towards lumption of tho currency so issued, and as fast as tho currency is withdrawn bo cancelled with its equivalent bonds. Tho bill further provides for tho redemption of all tho currency Lsuod uu dor Ibis act in sixteen years. Congress it to regulate tolls on tho canal, not to ex ceed fivo mills per Ion, so as to moot pay ment of interest on tho bonds and keep the work iu repairs. The canal company is granted right of way through public lands. Tho whole work is to he under tho superintendence of an officer of the Engineer Corps, under Hie direction tho Socrotary of War, until tho whole debt is extinguished. The bill also providos for tho improve immt of tho Tennessee, Ocmulgoe and Coosa rivers, and authorizes tho Secretary of tho Treasury to issuo for this purpose currency notes of I ho United Statos not to exceed seven millions of dollars. This sum is to he hold and oxpondod under tho supervision of tho War Department, as other river and harbor appropriations. To redeem this currency by gradual re tirement, tho Socrotary of tho Treasury is authorized to colic t a small toll, not to uxoeod fivo mills por ton, upon any vessel passing through any canal or lock neces sitated in tho improvement of said rivers, this toll to lie so regulated as to extin guish tho debt thus incurrod within six teen year* Tho iiiiprovouioiit of tho Ohio, Fox, Wisconsin aud other rivers, iH proposed to bo carried out uudor the sumo general plan. Tho amount of ourrouoy required for this purpose is ustimutod at sixty million dollars, which the friends of tlic bill say would g > directly iuto tho hands of laboring mou, aud from thorn to those who raise produce. This expendi ture would also make the money market easy, to say nothing of tho impetus whioh would ho given to trade uud commerce by tho opening of those grout national water hues* and the provision for the gradual withdrawal of tho currency so issued a lieu the pressing necessity is over, onu produce no violent convulsion of the money market, us would be the case a sudden contraction. This measure has lieou perfected after long study uiul consultatiou, aud has many friends enlisted ill its support. Tho report of tho Senate Committoo on Transportation Ins not yet been agreed upou as has been stated. It will be very brief—not more than four or fivo pages, and will probably rocouiinoud aid to some of the great internal improvement pro jects now before tho country. Tho ac companying evidence, which is to be printed in full, will bo very voluminous. This committee has been holding daily sessions for some time past, and the re sult of its labors will bo a very valuable contribution to tho topographical history of the country. The bill introduced to tho Smiate by Mr. Logau, providing pensions for soldiers of tho Mexican war, provides that a peusiou of eight dollars per mouth shall be giveu to each honorably discharged surviving officer and enlisted man, in cluding militia volunteers of tho military aud uavalservice, who served sixty days in tho war with Mexico, aud also to sur viving uumarriod widows of such officers and soldiers. The case of Piuchback is still hung up on the Seuato willow, where it is likely to remain. The bill of Senator Carpen ter has no chauco for passage. Tho pur pose of the Seuato is to hold the caso up uutil the Louisiana Legislature adjourns, which is fixed for March 4th, wheu Pinch will be throwu back upon the Legislature to bo chosen next November. The Dem ocrats, whilo disposed to do all that can conscientiously bo doue to relieve the people of Louisians, are loth to give in thoir udherKU to tho ordering of anew election nn ’cr Federal authority. Be sides there aro economic reasons why an election should uot be ordered iu May, us iu such au event it would bo impossi ble to get any work out of the negroes of that State for tho ensuing three mouths.

At the close of last week, one-eighth advance was obtained, aud since that time quota tions have been revised—thus advancing low middling ^o. nud middling ; [c., with good middling quoted at 4alc. higher. This change, however, has not stimulated the demand iu tho least, uud the position of the market since Tuesday lias boon more or less nominal. Prices this eveu ing are higher than the position of the mnrket should warrant. European markets aro pretty well stock ed, judging from advices recently at hand, nnd good proof that prices aro too high is the falliug ofl' in tho shipments, which shows that orders from the other side can not bo executed within tho limits. Deal ings iu options has been rather light, and fluctuations in value!? have boon unimpor tant. Tho total sales of the wook were 111,209, of which 101,300 bales wore con tracts, and 9,909 wore for immediate de livery. Tho market closed for tbo week on the basis of 15} for low middlings.
