EVANSVILLE, IND. WEDNESDAY MORNING -....MARCH 2

Congressional Control of the Terri tories. A motion of Mr. II ale" s to repeal the English Kansas restrictive law of last session, a few days ago, produced an animated debate in the Senate upon the right of Congress to govern the Territories, and its obligation to protect slavery therein. Senator Brown, from Mississippi, shocked his Northern Democratic friends by insisting, in the most explicit terms, npon the obligation of Congress to protect slavery in the Territolies. He said the Constitution alone could not protect slavery in the Territories, and that legislation is necessary. If the people of the Territory would not protect it by special law, Congress mast do it. He further said, that unless Congress should intervene, if requested, to protect slavery in the Territories, the South must withdraw from the Union. This audacious speech, which completely repudiated the Democratic doctrine of non-intervention, was ably replied to by Senators Pugh, Douglas, and other Northern Democratic Senators. They were directly appealed to by Senator Brown to know whether the Northern Democracy would protect slavery in the Territories by Congressional legislation. Douglas and Pugh assured him, in the most emphatic manner, that the Northern Democracy would not. The Northern Democracy would agree that Congress should neither prohibit nor protect slavery in the Territories. Beyond that they would never do. Mr. Pugh declared that Brown's demand was monstrous, and involved a breach of plighted faith. If there was any thing that the Democracy North and South have agreed upon, it was that Congress should do nothing in respect to slavery in the Territories. Senators Hunter, Jefferson Davis, Green and Mason took part in the discussion, and all favored Congressional protection to slavery in the Territories. Mr. Davis was exceedingly metaphysical. Senator Mason talked about the Territo ries as a British Prime Minister speaks of the dependencies of the British Crown. People there, he said, had no rights except what Congress gave them. Senators ii unter ana ureen were more conciliatory in their remarks, the former in sisting that the South had understood the Nebraska bill to yield the rights "now claim ed by the South. A letter from Washington to the Cincin nati Enquirer the organ of the Ohio Democracy says it is admitted generally there that if the South insists on Congres sional protection to slavery in the Territo ries, it will divide the Democratic party. There is no man from a free State who be lieves that any party at the North would support the doGtriue. All say it would be utter ruin to the Democracy, while it could confer no practical advantaurp euiii it is impossible for Congress to Legislate slavery into a Territory if the people there are opposed to it. it tue boutli insist on tnis demand as tine qua non ot its remain ing in the Union, it might as well prepare to go out at once. The IIomestkad Bill, which passed the House in spito of one Representative against it, and is now befoie the Senate, provides that every head of a family and every citizen 21 years old, and foreigners who have declared their intention to become citizens, shall have the right to enter on any vacant and unappropriated quarter section of Government land that is subject to private entry, and receive a patent therefor, after occupying and actually residing on said land for five years, free of cost, except a fee of $10 on receiving his patent. This fee is merely intended to cover the cost of survey and transfer. Such a quarter section is protected as a homestead, and " shall in no event become liable to the satisfaction of any debt or debts contracted prior to the issuing of the patent therefor. " In case of the death of the party so entering upon Government lands, the claim shall descend to the wife or children, and enure to their benefit. Egg" Oscar S. Field, paying teller of the Atlantic Bank, in Brooklyn, New York, absconded last week with 37,000 of the funds of the Bank. He left a wife and two children in profound ignorance of his criminal designs, and in destitute circumstauces. It is supposed that he will attempt to make his way to Europe, but the secret machinery of the police has been pnt in active operation to catch him, and it will be very difficult for him to escape. With the officers and directors of the Bank he sustained a moat exemplary character; he was punctual and attentive to his business, agreeable and obliging in his manners; of fine personal appearance and endowments a man to be trusted and respected. lie was a kind busDana ana latner to ins tamiiy, ana naa a large circle of friends. He was one of the last men to be suspected. Extra Session. It is the prevalent opinion at Washington that Congress will be unable to get through with the appropriation bills in the two davs onlv which re main of the session ; that one or two of them will fail in the disputes between the Senate and House-. In that case an extra session will be inevitable. ßg-Major Heisa, who founded the Washington States newspaper, and who is a very clear man, is soon to be married to Miss Martha Haines Butt, of Norfolk, Va. The lady is an accomplished authoress in old Virginia, and is said to be as amiable and handsome as she is talanted. Extra Session" op the Senate. The President ha3 issued a proclamation convening the Senate in extra session on the fourth of March, at noon, to receive and act upon important communications which the Executive will there make to it.

Sickles' Assassination of Key. The papers give the following particulars

of the meeting between Sickles and Key, in which the latter was shot : About two o'clock in the afternoon. Mrf Sickles proceeded from his residence near the President s house, to the southeast cor ner of Lafayette Square, in the same neighborhood, where Key ' was engaged in conversation with Mr. Butterworthof New York He charged Key with having dishonored him and destroyed his domestic peace, and immediately shot him with a revolver, one of the balls entering the left side of the body and passing through the corresponding point on the opposite side, lodging under the skin. Another shot took effect in the right thigh, near the main artery. Key, in falling, implored sickles not to kill him. The third shot was in the right side, glancing from the body and bruising it, of which wounds death ensued in a few moments. The body was taken intothe Na tional Club House. The Coroner immediately summoned a jury, and the inquest was neia lor several hours. A verdict was rendered, merely stating that the death was caused from the effects of pistol shots, as above stated, urea by Hon. Daniel E. Sickles. After Mr. Sickles had killed Key, he re paired to the residence of Attorney General Black, where he was advised te deliver himself into the bands of the officers, who sub sequently conveyed him to jail, to which be was committed. The Ice Boat a Success. The Ice Boat, of which we gave an account a few days ago, has been completed, and has made her first trip np the Mississippi river. She arrived at Lacrosse on the 23d, in four days from Prairie du Chien, with a heavy load of freight. The Lacrosse paper gives the fol lowing account of her arrival : - About two o'clock last night, hundreds of our sleeping citizens were called into the open air, by the sudden bursting of an un earthly sound, as if the whole packet crea tion had blowed their whistles simultane ously. Fora few momenta there was great excitement, and a running to and fro of the bootless, hatless, coatless people, who were all anxious to solve the important question, " What vpf " The levee was soon crowded with astonished admirers of the mammoth Ice Boat. Well they might stare, for she looked like a thiDg of life, as she laid nose to the shore, with her walking apparatus exposed, and clawing away as if weary of the long delay. After remaining at the levee 30 minutes, she made a break for up river, and as she left, it reminded us of a microscopic view we once bad of a huge land turtle. Three loud cheers were given by the multitude as she departed, and all seemed highly pleased except the agent of Burbank's Express, who immediately dispatched an extra for St Paul, swearing he'd " beat that Ice Boat or jump in the river ! " At Dresbach city the boat was ahead, but between there and Winoca the gap was gradually closed by the gaining of the wagon. When last heard from, the contestants were going in hip and thigh, nip and nip, a little this side of Red V ing ; and the chancel were considered leetle in favor of the boat. BU The Hon. E. A. Hannegan, former ly a distinguished lawyer and politician of this State, died in St. Louis on Saturday last. He was a man of eminent talent, but his usefulness was uyed by habits of intolerance. Mr. Hannegan is identified with the public history of Indiana. He was an eminent member of the legal profession, and served the State with distinguished ability in her legislative halls, and as a Representative and Senator in Congress. By President Polk he was appointed Minister to Berlin, where he remained but a short time. About three years ago Mr. Hannegan removed from Covington, where he had long been a resident to St. Louis, to enter upon a more enlarged field for the practice of his profession. There, as he did in Indiana, he soon gathered around him a host of friends. During his residence in St. Louis, he lost his wife, to whom he was devotedly attached, and now he has followed her. From Mexico. The latest accounts from Vera Cruz say that the Eaglish and French fleets were in hostile attitude before that city, and were favoring Miramon, the young usurper, and the leader of the church party. He was still at Orizaba with 4,000 men, collecting forced loans. The French and English commanders notified the Captain of the United States ship-of-war Saratoga that they should board the Tennessee to see if any filibusters were on board. The Captain of the Saratoga intimated that such a thing should not be done while the Saratoga was near enough to prevent it. - The foreign Ministers at the Capital had not recognized Miramon. The English and French merchants had renounced the protection of their own flags, and placed themselves under the Amarican flag. Legislative Proceedings. But little of interest was done in the Legislature on Saturday. The Senate dis cussed the bill for reorganizing the districts of the Courts of Common Pleas reducing the number from forty-four to twenty-one but took no vote on it. In the House, the Senate's bill for distrib uting the Sinking Fund was discussed, and finally passed. The report of the Commit tee, with the bill authorizing the Board of Agriculture to have a geological reconnoisance of the State made, was concurred in and the bill ordered to be engrossed. Extension of Expresses to Mexico. A company of capitalists in New Orleans, New York and St. Louis has been formed to ex tend our active express system to all the principal citieä of Mexico. Such an expansion will do more to annex the country and secure its trade to the United Stales, than the efforts of our present superannuated cabinet. The private enterprise of our citi zens does more to extend American domin ion than the Government. BThe Stale Journal saya it is under stood that the Governor will veto the new temperance law, on the ground that it is unconstitutional, because the license may not be made uniform in every county in the fetate by the Board of County Commission ers.

>Great excitement has been occasion-

ed in Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico, by the return of several gold diggers to those places from Pike's Peak: One man brought back, in scale gold, $1500, washed out in fifteen days. It is said there will be a great rush from that Territory to the gold diggings in the Spring. In all parts of the country preparations are being made by large parties for starting with the opening Spring for the Peak. We observe that speculators through Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska, are preparing large stores of provisions and goods, to be forwarded with the first tide of emigration. It is is said there is more fear of a glut than a famine at the mines during the Summer. While nearly all the reports are so flattering in regard to prospects of gold, there is much distrust felt in the truth of reports in which so many are deeply interested in getting up an excitement by exaggeration. In reply to a doubter who asks the advice of the editor of the St. Louis <Republican>, that paper says it has not entire confidence yet in the stories that are told of the productiveness of gold digging at Pike's Peak; but in the case of hardy young men, who are, in the common phrase, "foot loose," or out of employment, a venture in a gold seeking expedition, may be advised without any rashness. They may find gold in Kansas or Nebraska, in paying quantities. It is probable they will. But, if they do not, other sources of employment will open. Kansas and Nebraska, and Western Missouri are new and good fields for the exercise of industry and talent. If they do not care to turn back, they can go forward to California, where if they choose to dig for gold, they are quite sure to find; and can always command good wages in and about the gold mills there. To most of those young men, however, who are well enongh off where they are, the sensible advice is, it strikes us, that they should remain where they are, letting well enough alone. ———<>——— Sentence op Death passed on Jauks Burns. The effort to procure a new trial in the case of James Burns, convicted of murder in the 5rst degree for the killing of Michael Burke at Cincinnati, and who was arrested in this city, failed, Judge Carter giving it as his opinion that there was nothing suggested which it appeared to the Court ought to have any influence in inducing it to interlt re with the ven'ict of the Jury. He then nked Burns if he had anything to say why the sentence of the law should not be passed. The Prisoner. Nothing, except that I would thank your Honor to give me a long day. Judge Carter Your application then shall induce me to change the time, and give you a later day than I had at first designed. Prisoner Long life to your Honor I Judge Carter then proceeded in a solemn manner, to pas3 sentence of execution ordering the prisoner to be confined in the Jail of Hamilton County, until Friday, May 27th, 1859, and then to 1 hanged by the neck until he is dead. The prisoner had a more composed ap pearance than at any time during the pro gress of his trial. Burns, at the conclusion, remarked on taking his seat, " Let you all pray for me." 86?" In the report of the proceedings of a meeting held in London for the purpose of attempting to do something for the promotion of popular education, the statement was made on the responsible authority of Prince Albert, who was the presiding officer, that of about five millions of children, in England alpne, of a suitable age to attend school, more than three millions, or threefifths of the wholo number, were receiving no instruction at all. w e nave also tlie testimony of Lord John Russell to the hu miliating fact that about one-half of the adult population of Great Britain are not able to read and write. England boasts of her wealth, is proud of her war-like con quests, is prond of her powerful aristocracy and rejoices in the prestige of her name, but with disgrace is obliged to confess that her industrious masses, the real foundation of her power are still left in a condition of ignorance more suited to a race of savages than a civilized people. The Bell ot the Opera Ball. The Cincinnati papers have sketched a good many incidants which transpired at the grand ball given in that city on the 22d instant, in honor of the completion of their magnificent Opera House. The following we clip from the Times : Among the ladies at the Opera Ball, was one wnose great personal Deauty enci ted general admiration. Among the vast cluster of beauties, she stood prominent, the most lovely of them all. Her features seemed perfect, and she presented a symmetry of figure completely charming. Her step was that of a tairy, light, elastic, graceful, without fault, and there was a charm, a sweetness in her manner that elicited prompt admiration from all around her. Added to this was a modesty of demeanor, coupled with a simplicity ot dress, which presented the lady in that gay throng as the admired of admirers. "Much anxiety was manifested to learn who this bewitching creature was. In that vast assembly stie knew but one one only knew her. She clung to the arm of a plainly dressed young man, and together they danced, promenaded, sat and conversed. They had no disposition, apparently, to min gle with the throng. This increased the anxiety to learn who she was. The conjectuie was that she was a stranger, and strange it appeared that no one knew her, We have since learned that this belle of the cloning is an orphan girl in very ham ble circumstances. She works tor a very small salary in an establishment in this city She is engaged to be married to the younj man she was with, and the happy day is rinse at hand. . The dress she wore on that nrnuinn is to be her weddin? dress. Her attendance at the ball was a freak of her lover, whose admiration led him to believe, that his humble but pretty sweetheart, would compare favorably with the fashionable beauty of the city, lie noti ed the adimrin" eyes she attructed, and we presume

loves her all the better for it.

ggj A young girl on'y sixteen years old,

of a respectable faIly in Xenia, Ohio, was ! recently delivered of a black child, to the amazement and horror of her friends. She confessed that about ten months ago, while out in the evening, she was assaulted and violated by a negro man ; she did not disclose the horrid crime at the time, from fear of the negro, who threatened to kill her if she revealed the shocking deed, and also from a dread of publishing her own infamy, believing that no one would ever know the dreadful secret, she burried it in her own bosom till concealment was no longer possible. Public excitement was great, and pursuit was made for the negro who had left the place. The citizens, notwithstanding their abolition propensities, threatened to lynch him if he fell into their power. The Administration is doing the Democracy immense harm in Virginia. Leading democrats say that John Letcher, their candidate for Governor, cannot carry it on his back through the coming contest without being crushed by the load. ßgSevcnteen hundred shoemakers are on a strike in Philadelphia for higher wages.
