Wise and UholsoK disgraceful quarrel in congress. -The Mississippi election, as the reader may learn fiom our Washington correspondence, came up for discussion in the house of representatives on the ninth ult. The correspondent of the Baltimore American gives the following account of a quarrel, which thereupon ensued. Such sccr.rs are a stain, a damning stain, upon the honor of the country. We deeply regret the shameful occurrence, but we do not regret, that the "Hon." bully of Mississippi has at length a fir and unquestionable opportunity of showing his vaunted passion for saltpetre: Louisville Journal. A sad and exciting quarrel took place between Messrs. Wise of Virginia, and Gholson of Mississipft ft a m t ft ft

pi. Mr. Howard oi Maryland presented a paper front Mr. Claiborne of Mississippi, who is confined

to hi room, in regard to the Mississippi election

A motion was made to print the document, which

Mr. Wise opposed on the ground that the two

claimants printed their own papers, and therefore

me nouse should not print llie documents ol the se

cond party.

Mr. llholson (immediately, and without cause,

constructed the remarks of Mr. Wise into a person al intimation on the part of Mr. W. that Messrs

Gholson and Claiborne were unwilling to print their

own papers for themselves. The following brief

and angry dialogue ensued as soon as the member

from V irginia had resumed his seat.

Mr. Gholson "The remarks of the member are

unworthy of the gentleman from Virginina, and a

member of ths house.

Mr. Wise "If impudence Ac ignorance will make a blackguard, there is one' (turning round and pointing towards Mr. Gholson, who sat just behind

him.)

Mr. Gholson " None but a scoundrel would make

uxe of such an expression."

The speaker and the members of the house here

interfered, and checked the personal controversy

lor the present.

The debate continued on the preliminary merits

of the election for some time, when Mr. Dawson, of

Georgia, brought lorward a resolution requiring the two IjcUigcrenls to make some apology to the

house Tor viola'-ing the rules ot the house. Mr." Wise said, he wa3 glad the gentleman from

icorna had civcn him an opportunity to 6et him

self riiilit before the members of the house. He

thought the paper presented from Mr. Claiborne, by Mr. Howard of Maryland, ought not to be printed ut the expense of the house, after the claimants had printed their own papers, at their own expense. To my utter astonishment and surprise, continuel Mr. W.the member from Mississippi rose and applied expressions to me, such as the nouse have heard. Annlvina uch lansuace to me, which 1

m-Ht confess excited my personal feelings, I was led to say to the member from Mississippi, in hearing of the house, what I have often thought of him. Here the speaker called Mr. Wise "o order," and tlii houo joined in the call. Mr. Gholson followed, and began his remarks by applying to Mr. Wie the terms low and unworthy. Tho hc;ie an I speaker both called Mr. Gholson to order, and Mr. G. continued and made a suitable a p dry to the house for violating its rules of order. Mr. G. however concluded in the following words I replied to him in the same strain that his vuljiariy required." Trj i thr Cievclnnd Advertiser, January 19. IMPORTANT FROM CANADA

In one breath we have information fromtho west and from the cast. A letter was received last night

from a citizen of this place now in Detroit, which

says tho patriots have taken Maiden, and from the

tast we have a rumor mat tne patriot army on i-ta-vy Island is disbanded. From the same. The taking of the schooner Ann has been amply avenged, by the patriots taking in a vessel oflarger cl iss from the Mulish, laden with provisions. T he crew all escaped. The runaway steamer Erie, was chased by the General Heady, from Detroit, armed to the teeth, in order to compel tho return of the recusant Er ie But such was the unparalleled speed of the Erie, that she gained her destined port at Bois Blanc, discharged her cargo of provisions and arms, landed the patriot troops who were on board, and was about halfway back to Detroit, when sho was met by the Brady, which started in chase. It was conducted to the city under the guns of the Brady where h! was duly honored, her owners handsomely paid for her services, and where 6hc now lies, a ntisoncr in chains at the wharf. 8 o'clock, p. m. An express has just arrived from Canada that the patriots had got possession of Maiden; but the intelligence needs confirmation. To-morrow we will bo correctly advised upon the Bubject. The patriot! nrc increasing in number; but they must make a desperate eflbrt or they are gone Yours,&c. From the same. LATEST FROM THE WEST. By a gentleman who arrived by to-day's stage from Detroit, which plnro ho left on Saturday last, we have some additional particulars, in reference to the movements and doings of the contending forces on the western Canadian frontier. Aflet the capture of tho schooner at Maiden, the patriots retreated to Sugar Island, whence they proceeded to Brownstown, m the vicinity Gibraltar where they are now encamped. Governor Mason, the next day after the engagement, proceeded down the rier in the steamboat Erie in pursuit of the arms belonging to tho state, which he obtained and deposited in the storehouse t Gibraltar. Eight persons were taken in the engagement at Maiden, who ore now on their way to Toronto. The patriots were forced to retreat for want ol uirms. provisions and ammunition. A bill ha passed the popular branch of the legislature ol Michigan, making provisions for 2000 men to protect the frontier. Congress. Our late dates from Washington, give us interesting and important news. The firebrand of abolition has been thrown into the halls of Congress. The untiring efforts made by Northern fanatics, wo fear, will terminate in a bloody revolution. The South is limited in extent of territory, and is now well nigh filled the North will roll her tide of population from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the nature of the climate and soil, will always be opposed to slavery in principle and practice. The course of poticy, then, that should be pursu

ed by the South, is manifest. She should prepare herself for the worst of difficulties. Extent of territory is necessary to equalize the voice in Congress, and interpose a barrier against constitutional aggressions. The annexation of Texas should be urged by tho South, and if Bhe cannot, succeed in

this, we should set about fortifying our constitution

al rights, with the means which nature has placed

within our reach. southern (miss.) Ifftfg. x"
