FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1833.

CONGRESS. We have omitted to copy extracts fcjai the proceedings of this body for the "all-suffi-ent reason" that there has not been any business of jiortance disposed of lately nor is it likely there ffill be. On next Monday Congress adjourns in course. It is presumed that ere this, Mr.Webster and Mr .Calhoun have "fought the great fight." When the anticipated speeches shall arrive, we will liberally quote from them, that our readers may at least understand the points on which they come in contact, in relation othe fundamental principles of our Government. THE SOUTH. To the very common inquiry "What is going on in South Carolina!" wc may respond, nothing of the character many have anticipated. The nullifiers are growing quite tired of their undertaking. Judging by what we see from the nullifying region, the nullies would be thankful for & plausible pretext under which to retreat. They have doubtless had in view the entcrprize of possessing themselves of Castle Pinckney, br surprise. In this they have not been able to succeed; having found the U. S. troops and the Unionists always on the alert. We yet have every reason to believe that the theory of nullification will explode without producing any serious effects, and leave its progenitors in t'a.'M quo. In relation to what would constitute the "overt act," there is a contrariety of opinion extant; we are satisfied that Gov. Hayne has already so far committed himsolf that he need not advance one other step to fasten upon him the high crime of treason. True, he has not accepted the services of troops, nor has he made ia open attack upon the other States of the Union; he his however made every preparation for 60 doing, under cover of "other purposes." But let us inquire ina this matter a little. By way of commencement, the disaffected party, at the dictum of a few, held a Convention and passed a nullifying Ordinance; when the Legislature met, having a majority in that body, they passed laws sustaining it the object of which was to impede the operation of the Revenue laws of the United States within that State. Gov. Hayne, the Executive officer of the State, took the "test oath" and entered on the discharge of the duties of Governor of the nullifying phalanx he beat up for volunteers--order-ed the arms of the State to be carefully inspected, and if necessary, to be forthwith repaired, and he even went so far as to order purchases of provisions for soldiers and forage for their horses, at intervals of ordinary day marches on the various roads centering to the City of Charleston, the rallying point. The objoct of all tLis warlike parade cannot be mistaken it was manifestly the intention of Gov. Hayne and his co-workers in nullification, to support the Ordinance and the laws sustaining it, at all hazards; prorikd always, that the people would go the whole with them. It is doubtless owing to the faultering manifest in their ranks, that the commission of the "overt act" outright, has been thus long procrastinated. There is every reason now to believe that with the close of the present Congress, may be dated the downfall of nullification. Its progenitors have dug its grave, and may it be buried amid the simultaneous execrations of livJiijf millions, where it may enjoy forever the quiet sleep of death.

Oxford Lyceum. The first number of this periodical, published 6emi-monthly, in quarto form, in the town" of Oxford, B. C. Ohio, by W. W. Bishop, bearing date 16th ult. was presented to us a few days ago. It is to be devoted principally to literature and light reading the Editor however promises a compendium of the important passing events of the day, and a 'fearless expression of his views of men and measures without regard to party.' The number before us urges the expression, that the publication is a valuable acquisition to the list of periodicals, and well worthy the attention of the literary public. The typography is neat. A gentleman, resident in Charleston, S. C. writes to his brother in Henry county, Ky. under date of Jan. 11, and among other things says, that "a few designmen, who have been disappointed in their ambitious views, have been trying for two years past to re

volutionize this State, and get it out of the Union."

i "is fully sustains our worst conjectures on this sub

jwt; and coming as it does, from the seat of infection,

correctness cannot be questioned. The same let

ter also says: "The effects of nullification are felt ever.v whore. In families it has set fathera gainst son, and brother against brother; it has also entered the house

cftlod, and spread great discord among the brethren

Notwithstanding, I cannot believe that they will dare wry their threats into execution. I could wish that myself and family were out of the State; but we are

wre, and must stick by the wreck."

This is an awful catastrophe in a civilized land fa

ther marshalled against son and brother against bro

ll'er; the holy temples of the iiving God profaned, and the cii4se of Zion prostituted the sin of which rests on the guilty heads of the malcontents alluded to; amongst hom we see standing conspicuous,JIayne, Hamilton, Calhoun, M'Duffie, Preston, &c. whose necks would

0I grace the hempen halter.

"Western Times" again We had hoped that we

hould not be again called upon to notice any thing e'nanating from this fetid source, fiut the manifest

"ant of principle on the part of the Editors urges it u?on us to say a few words more not on the Bank

1mion to show to that portion of the public who institute our readers, that the Editors of the Times

ever ready to take covert under low pitiful slang in event of being vanquished in argument. We copy

- annexed paragraph from that paper. It is the only

mwing argwwni to our remarks of the, gth ult. on '6 Bank micstion in which we charged them 'with

gross igiiorancd and groveliiug Jupluity, and denied nearly all their positions that we find in their sheet. "He it remembered that on the eighth day of "February, in the year of our Lord one thousand "eight hundred and thirtv-threc, and in the be

ginning of the 1st year of nullification-, Ckirhy "tlutclnn. Editor of the BrookiiIe Inquirer hath "declined a further discussion of the United States "Bank question in the words following, to wit, "In this question we have neither interest nor "feeling; there is nothing to accomplish by a discussion of iL It being buried, we have no dis"position to remove the sackcloth it may therefore peacably enjov the tomb to which it has

"been consigned by the people in the majesty of

"their voice. "In relation to this matter the editor of the "Western Statesman, at Lawrenceburgh, makes "this remark.

"A little 'four striped' cotemporary asks us, if

"we wiJI do them an act of justice, by publishing "their reply to the editors of the Western Times. "We would answer the modest request, Nq. But "we will do the editor an act of justice, by keeping the 'reply,' as much as possible, from public "scrutiny, where the weakly thing, would sicken "and die. The 'reply' rests upon the same foundation as the story of Sinbad the Sailor. Does "the editor see?" The Editors fain would make their readers believe that they had put us to flight upon the question of the U. S. Bank, and that they had fully sustained the positions with which they set out, as evidenced above. Our readers, and those Editors know better, and the readers of the Times should know better. We must confess that we are somewhat awkwardly situated on the one side we have the Times, and on other the Statesman, and between the two we get prodigiously bored be it so. The Editors of these UNCOMMONLY LARGE five "striped" prints are exceedingly kind, and loving, and accommodating to each other each, as if by concert, quote the slang of the other. Upon one occasion we drew out of the Times an article that bore semblance to dignity, by remarking that we would not associate with blackguards; we then entertained strong hopes that the Editors would not again recede to the same level on which we found

them they have however fallen back, back, back upon their native soil; there let them remain.

The utter disregard of truth displayed in the above

article from the Times, is a sufficient apology on our part, for declining all further notice of the Editors. The very dignified paragraph they have copied from the Statesman was not penned in relation to the article they assert that it wa3, and they know it nor did

we abandon the discussion of the bank question with

the bare remark quoted in the Times, and this fact al

so is known to the Editors.

They have, we admit, evinced some considerable

tact in getting out of the dilema in which they volun

tarily placed themselves. In the first place they challenged us to the field of discussion. We there routed them "horse, foot and dragoons" at every material point, and feeling no disposition to "beat the wind," we closed. When, knowing that scarcely ten of their readers saw our paper, they claim to have vanquished

UBby fully sustaining their worse than idle positions.

We are willing that this matter shall be decided by those who have read both papers. ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES OF THE Mails at Brookville. Eastern & Southern Mails, via. Cincinnati, arrive every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, at 6 o'clock, P. M. Depart every Tuesday, Thursday and Satur

Brookville, March 1, 1833. The trial of Henry Ferguson, for the murder of Ephraim Tally, came on the Court of Oyer and Terminer, for this country, on Friday last. From the testimony produced, it appeared that the origin of the affray which led to the death of Tally, was a dispute about 2 cents which he had received as change out of twelve and a half cents conjointly contributed for the purchase of a quart of whiskey. Ferguson insisted on receiving all the change, which Tally refused on f he ground of being an equal contributor. .'One thing led on to another, when scuffle cusued,and Fergu

son seizinpan axc gave Tally a blow on the head

which cafed -lmost instant death. , , , , The CoSkS was occupied wj'ch ths trv tmtil Saturdav ev?ning. The jury' was then charged

A BRIGHTER SKY. Notwithstanding the gloomy and sad spectacle

we last week gave of South Carolina affairs, we then stated that we still were of opinion a civil war would be avoided, and our flaec remain un

tarnished by the shedding of a brother's blood. Our news this week is of the most cheering kind,

and we nave no doubt it will be followed up by hetter days. Our worthy President is indefatigable in, his exertions to suppress rebellion and

alUy discontent. He is the very man chalked out for the emergency of the times. Even his

bitterest revilers, the low and vile persecutors of the departed companion of his bosom, look up to him in the last extremity to save the Union from

ruin and themselves from further dishonor.

Mr. NIXON was attached to the Pennsylvania line, under command of Gen. Wayne, and was one of that heroic band which distinguished themselves at the reduction of Stonv Point, July 15th 1779. Mr. NIXON never received a pension from the Government, having never applied for one, but maintained himself and family by his own industry till the last year. He has gone, we trust, to a better world, to receive liis reward.

Judge John S. Richardson, of South Carolina

a member of the late Union Convention, and one of the Judges of the State Court of Ap

peals has addressed a letter to his constituents, exclusively devoted to the subject of the nullification "test oath." His object is to state that the oath is unconstitutional, degrading to the judicial office, and incompatible with judicial purity. 5,;t. Cour.

Steam Fire Enoine. In the last number of

that excellent weekly publication, the "Amercan Rail Road Journal," there is a modeljof a Steam Fire Engine called the Comet, which has been built in London for the King of Prussia. An experiment recently made, proved very satisfactory to the friends of the invention. A pipe of one and a quarter inch in diameter was attached to the machine, and the water was carried from 115 to 120 feet. It makes eighteen strokes per minute, and throws one ton and seven hundred and thirteen pounds of water each minute. The

greatest objection to this machine is the length of

time it will take to get the engine reaav lor operation, which we learn, is about half an hour.
