"We learn from the Little Rock Democrat, that Afessrs Morehtnd, -Moulloiitk Hunt, the proprietors ofthe lead mines in the neighborhood of Little Rock, are 4 now erecting houses near the "diggins,' for tie accommodation of a large gang of miners, who will shortly arrive from Memphis.

In digging' the foundation far a furnace, a "lead,' eighteen inches thick and seven fret broad, was truck about three feet bslüw the surface cf the ground. A sample of the the ore ha lve.ii subjected analysis by a celebrated chemists, whose report shows it to contain a larger z centum of silver than the lead from any other mines yet discovered in the U. States. The proportion uf silver s said tobe sufficiently large to jray both the expense of capitulation and raising the ore. Much of the land in the neighborhood of the mines belonging to the U. States, and considerable excitement is manifested by speculators to procure information sufficient to enable them to make entries. Great Excitement at Washington Citt. On Saturday night, the 13th instant, come seventy-seven slaves belonging to persons in Wishing... and Georgetown, D.

BLENNF.RHASSETT AND HIS ISLAND. THE ROMANCE or TUE OHIO. In ISOß, Aaron Burr wos denounced, for attempting what in 1S3G, Samuel Houston attempted, succeeded in, and was glorified for! The transitions of History the mutations of Opinions the vascillations in the wave of Human Society, and the tremeuduous roll r,d power of that Wave, as it tumbles its tides over the American Continent, were never bctr ter illustrated iuany thirty years of human existence. We do not Fay that the plan of Turr and of Houjtpji were identical, for, Bur was charged with an attempt to separate the- Union, and whether truly or not, can never be proven.-

nut in their conduct, as to the attempt on the Spanish or Mexican Provinces, they . were so ..1 ... , , nearly alike, mat one can never oe provea in nocent, wlnle the other is guilty, Jhirty years made a most wonderful diIerence between the two! In 1S0G, the genius of Andrew Jackson was limited to the banks of the Cumberland, put iulSGG, it had taken flight and accompan: led Houston ancj hi squatters beyond the Sabine! The spirit of the draina'was chanced, ud tlje prudent, republican, peaceful policy of eflerson'was exchanged , for the doctrines of Annexation und Conquest, of cold tn dreams and eagle flights, beyond the Sabine- beyond me lrmixy Deyona me ruoaei i.orie, even 10 the Halls of the Montezumas, the o ranee blooming land of the Aztecs, and the wave washed shores of the Facific! Such is vaulting Ambition, the cjrqle of whose desires the round globe, and all which it contains can hardly limit! Lcbr, with an ambition equal to any of them, and with scarcely greater crimes, was far less fortunate than the modern adventurers. and might well lament that his plans, like his sins, were too ear)y for hjs tirrtei!' Jlis history, however, was more various, and his life one of a v ry singular and mysterious interest. The chief mysterv w as, that the world could never umlerstai d Low a man, so eminent in ability, and station, could ever be so wicked! Later illustrations, however, have made it perfectly credible, that one of the most eminent men, should also be one of the worst. The country is iu this respect, improving in the number of moral curiosities which it ran present to the examination of the moral Physiologist. We wisli to speak, however, of lilenuerhassett and his Story. The . "American Heview"for April epptams a most interesting irticle on this subject, in which most of the facts, -concernina the Life and Fate ofBlennerhusset I are correctly given. Burr's Expe dition has nothing about it. which is so deeply interesting as this little eDisottt. whose scene was laid on an island in the Otio. Herman Blennerhassett was cne of those not very uncommon men, who are weak in judgement, but brilliant ih abilities. His wife was beautiful, accomplished; graceful, and ambitious. He dealt in philosophy and the Fine Arts; she in taste, elegance and gaiety. He was of an Irish family she ah ' English. He was related to tmmeu sne to iruisn nooies. lie nherited fortune, but w as a republican. Not findingquite as much freedom to speak in En gland, as he liked, he came to the United States, to think and speak as he pleased, boon after, he heard of the beautiful Valley of the Ohio, then the El Dorado of the aspiring Emigrant. He came, and was one of the first of the thousands and millions, who have come, to this on ly Western Yale, to seek the Visions of Hope, and realize, in part, their Dreams of Terrestrial Beauty! They came, and what they imagined, they made! 1 he garden bloomed; the air was fragrant; philosophy aud poetry danced attendance; grace and elegance presided, where Ease and Learning were guests; and, in line, that fancy colored Creation of the eloquent Wirt was all but realized. Wesajd that Blennerhasset was weak in judgment,' though possessed of shining qualir,l -r. i i k : lies.

All who saw her in her prime and glory knew the fact. The Keview sayst "A very intelligent lady, who was familiar ly acquainted with her in her best days on the island, and has since visited and seen the most elegant and beautiful females in the courts of France and England, as well as Washington citv, says that she has beheld no one who was equal io ner in Deauiy oi person, aignuy of mauuers, elegance of dress, and in short, all that is lovely and finished in the female person, such as she was wfcen 'queen of the lairy isle.

He says to the Hon. Henry Clay, " We paid your debts." This seems to mean that Cassius M. Llay wa one of the contributors, but perhaps it admits of the construction that the Whigs, the Hon.

The disguised person was NeamiahNorthrup, who acknowledged that he had shot Bemis.but declared that wasan accident as he did not know; that the gun. was loaded. A coroner's verdict was to the same effect. Northrup gave himself up, and after the exam ination,was held to bail in the sum of 61,000. to answer the charge of involuntary manslaugh ter. It appeared on the examination, that it was intended to chertrqri the .newly married couple, and that Northrup was to participate in it; that he had left Liverpool aud gone to his home a mile or twodistant, alter Hie arrival of Berais; that he took the two guns.'wlthout hether thev were loaded or not. return ed to Liverpool before his associates in the chercvari arrived, carelessly snapped the gun at, and killed Berais.

LAUGHTER-FUN IN THE SENATE. Grave Senators love a laugh! When the

'Mebno is spicy, they prick up their ears as ft it did th-Mii good; whrrrttvttty, 'he7 shake their sides as il they would grow fat wiih the exercise. II a correspoti'devours U lo be credited, they had enough o-in the debite between the Senators FooTE, of Missis sippi, and Hale, of New Hampshire and that common folks may enjoy the fun, we proceed to give a sketch of it : . The topic before she Senate was the misai n to Rome the subject mitter, the defi ciency bill. . ' . Senator Hale. -I must vote atjainst the bill not because it contained avr prop na tion, for a mission to Home, but h.ciue it grants millions for the war. The mission was a progressive move rpr the administra tion. 1 hope others will vote tor it. How much better this appropriation for a peaceful mission to Catholic Rome, than the other appropriations (or killing Catholic Mexicans! The only drawback I feel is, that I regard it as an attempt on the part oT Mr. Polk to pander lo ths Catholic sentiment, as Mr, Badger had declared. benator Foote. quite excited I de. mand 10 know ot the Senator, of North Carolina, whether he used this language.

It is, 10 use a yankee phrase, an atteopt to sh for votes, Senator Foote. 1 pronoence such lancnaee v ulcar, coarse.' Mr Hale replied with warmth and energy, when Mr. Foote explained, that vulgar, inent something common, mostly used with the people. The explanation was accepted and amid laughter, of the most hearty kind, the debate was continued as follows :- (We use Houston a report.) Mr, Hale; Perhaps 1 shoqld m,ake some explanation to the Senstor from INorth tJaro lina. I certainly did not mean to misquote or misrepresent him. I am sure he will not suppose that I could do so. Mr. BadcilR. Certainly not, Mr. Hale. Now, one word as to what was said which produced such a flood of elot quence Irorn the gentleman from Mississip pi. I certainly did nut expect that that gen tleman and myself could veiy cordially agree in certain political matters. Our positions on some subject are wido apart; and, there (ore, it does not seriously disturb my equan amity to find him quite antagonistic in reter mv. a ence to these questions. When ne came down upon my political position, with all his Jupiler Tonans, thundering eloquence, I re garded it as a matter of course. But really, sir, when a gentleman of bis refined taste -eloquence of diction purity of stYlcl)as teness of manner-and ee?2f coulr,bu' ting to the characters l'ec wor,u compelled, reluo xiT compelled, I doubt not, 10 proi-nce m7 Por eflurl3 vu,ßari 1 d 4feeL'tl 1 Laughter. tilx. Foote. I did not pronounce the ef fort vuljjar. Mr. Hale. It wos the language tnen? Mr. Foote. No it was the sennment;and, f the Senator will refer to the origiual, he will find that what I say is strictly true. "Vulgar7 is derived from the word "ridguv which means the common people :-tiud the sentiment is common among the masses. Mr. Hale. Ah! that is all? Mr. Foote. Certainly. Mr. Hale. Then I am very glad lo find that my sentiments ate becoming so popular! Laughter Now 1 do not travel wiih the dictionary in my pocket, but one ofthe pages has biought me one of those big dictionaries which we had in the Senate the other day, when the Senator from Kentucky lost so much in not being present to hear. Mr. FojTE.--Ah! take catc that may have been in secret session. Mr. Hale. If so, it got out! 1 don't know, however, but that if the public were here, and listened to our poor debates, it might be well for some of us if the injunction were taken oil the dictionaries! Uui 1 have the diciioniry before me, and I find that this vulgar'1 word Mr. Foote. What dictionary is ii? Mr. llALE-T-Wnuen by one Sain Johnson! Laughter. I find, sir, that this vulgar word was used 111 common by (hat vulvar fellow. Shakespeare, Laughter; also by one Dryden, one Rowe, and a man who used to write doggeral, one John Milton. Great laughter. All of them used this "vulgar" word ' pander!" Now in its direct application lo this very case, 1 said that I believed tint this wasan attempt on the part of tie administration, to "pander" to the Roman Catholic Voters, 01 Roman Catholic prejudice, and I gave credit lo the Senator from North . Carolina. Mr. Foote. The Senator has not read the authorities. ViIl he allow me to look at them for a moment f I do not deny that the word is to be (ound in the dictionary, or that Shakspeare ucd ii. B it I meant to say that it was a word always intended for purposes of scurrilliiy of rulgar meaning; tud like many other epiihets in Shakspeare, not appropiiaie on all occasions, and certainly not becoming in such a dignified body as this.

Would Uio Senator affirm that "rascal" is Parliamentary language I Mr. CAMEitoN.Would the Senator be so good as to read the authority again? Some ot us on this side did not hear distintly. Mr. Hale. Certainly; with great pleas u;re sir: "Oh ye pandering rascals, there's a conspiracy against me!" Laughter.'Why, sir, if I had searched tie dictionary from beginning to end, I could not have hit upon a word which more clearly express es wnai 1 meant to convey!

The most serious part of hat I said was not no much a denial of his allegation, as a solemn call upon him in support ofthe charge Mr. Hale.- I understand. Mr. Foote. Allow roe further to stata my proposition? Mr.- Hale- uertainiy, Mr. Foote. If a person were arraigoed as a criminal, and no evidence of his gui II was produced, he would certainly go nee of punishment; 1 thereloro invoice tne oenaior to adduce his proofs. I challenge him to the proof. Mr. Foote. The evidence is to be louna in the absence of all proof to the contrary. This is a fair mode ot argument, as the Senator must admit. When there is something palpable on the face ofthe case, if no other motive strikes the mind as being the palpable motive, then the inference is legitimate, in the absence of all proof to the contrary, that that is really the motive. Mr- Foote. Suppose tie Senator were charged with a grave offence, of which he wasaltogether innocent, though appearances were against him; and it he failed -lo adduce proof of his icnocence, would be then be justly found guilty? Mr. Hale. A an constat! I he conclusion does not tollow from the premises not at all. But the Senator from Mississippi said that Pope Pius IX was the man of the age.' Why, I thought James K. Polk was Mhe man ofiheace.1 lLaunher.l I should like to know what right any democrat, sound in the faith, has to pronounce Pope Pius IX Mhe man of the age!1 Laughter. I did not propose, however, to go into this question of a mission to Rome. I rose only for tne purnose of freein? mvself from the charno of - 0 - using a vulgarism. ..As modified, however, by the Senator from Mississippi, instead of a charge, it is a compliment. I feel frittered He s) as my sentiment is becoming very common among the people. I agree wiih him. I do helieve the people regard this is an attempt on the part of the Adminis tration to pander tq Roman Catholic preju dices. Mr. Foote. I hope the Senator will allow me to correct him. 1 did not say the sentiment was common amongst the people, but that his language was of a very couwu caste and character. Mr. Hale.

If there be any other Presidential aspirant here beside myself, I think he Ind better look well lo this business. Did the Senator-front Michigan speak to me! Gieat laughter. Mr. Cass. No! did not speak. The opposite question, and naive reply, says one, produced a merriment in which the Senate and audience joined. Mr. Cass was good natu red. He went to Mr. Hale's seat, and shook him cordially by the hand. The New Hampshire Senator carried the day this lime. Si.MrLE Division.
