NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. BY THE E. & W. LINE. Exclusively for the Journal. ======= CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, Jan. 18. Ssxate. Tw communications were received from the Naval Department. One was referred to. the military committee, and the other to the finance committee. A communication was received from the Naval Department relative to various subjects connected with the Naval establishment. Referred to the committee on naval affairs. House bills were under consideration. Mr. Wade presented Ohio"s joint resolutions expressing attachment to the Uuion, and her readiness to give support to the General Government. Ordered to be printed. Mr. Mason, from the committee on foreign affairs, reported a bill to authorize Lieut. Teraven to receive certain marks of distinction from the Spanish navy. Taken up and passed. Air. Kennedy presented a memorial of the

citizens of Washington county, prayiDg for the adoption of the Crittenden resolutions. Mr. Bigler presented 15 memorials from the citizens of Pennsylvania to Ihe same effect. M r. Sumner offered a resolution that the President of the United States be requested if not incompatible with the public interests to furnish the Senate with a copy of all the recent correspondence between the Department of State and any minister of foreign powers at Washington in reference to foreign vessels at the port of Charleston. Mr. Ten Eyck presented the petition of H. J. Wood praying for the appointment of delegates to a national convention to promote the general welfare of the country, to be held at Philadelpb:a. The Crittenden resolutions weretakpr. up. Mr. Crittenden's resolutions were postponed till Monday. Private kills were considered. M r. Green introduced a joint resolution commending all of the States of the Union to hold Conventions to concert measures to restore peace and harmony to the country, on the principles of justice and equity to all. Ordered to a second reading. Sumner called the yeas and nays on Cameron's motion to reconsider the vote on Clark's amendment to the Crittenden resolutions. Carried yeas 27, Day 21. The Pacific Railroad bill wos made the special order for Tuesday. The bill authorizing a loan and relative to outstanding treasury notes was made the special order for Wednesday. The Kansas bill was taken up. Douglas favored the admission of Kansas. Seward spoke of the evidences he witnessed of the favorable condition of the society, government, &c, in Kansas. Collamer favored her admission, sayjng she has more population than is required for admission. The question on Green'i amendment, to change the boundaries, was lost 23 against 31. Green offered another amendment changing the boundaries, which was lo3t. After an executive session, the Senate adjourned. House. Mr. Moore of Kentucky, rising to a personal explanation, said: If Mr. Adams's resolution, heretofore adopted, had simply endorsed the conduct of Major Anderson, he would have voted for it, but he could not receive the permission of his mind to vote for the remainder of the resolution, and to say, by so doing, he would endorse every act which the President might regard as his constitutional duty in carrying out the laws and preserving the Union. While be was for the Union, believing he thus represented the people of Kentucky, he thought duty required us to pause before we peri) the Uaion and bring on a general conflict aud intestine war. He did not believe in the right of a State to secede. lie regarded this as the greatest heterodoxy ever advocated by any party; but while he said this, all must recognize the right of revolution for the resistance of oppression on one side to secure freedom on the other. He did not believe the time had arrived to resort to this measure of redress and precipitate so dreadful a catastrophe. He did not believe the present was the proper time to send reinforcements to South Carolina and the other Southern States. We should hesitate and endeavor to get back by peace what might be considered necessary, by force. He would not have made this explanation had it not been for the fact that be had received letters questioning ordisapproving his course for voting against Mr. Adams's resolutions. He reported that he fully endorsed Major Anderson's conduct, but was unwilling in advance to endorse the conduct of the Administration. Mr. Scott rising to a question of privilege said that Captain Sarting, the Assistant Doorkeeper, had ejected from the floor a visiting gentleman who was admitted on the Democratic side of the House, and requested him to leave on the ground that it was contrary to the rules. Looking to the Republican side he (Mr. Scott) said, there was one who was not a member, yet was allowed to remain. It showed a disgusting partiality and prejudice. The House went into committee of the whole on the army bill. Mr. Pendleton of Ohio said, at a former period of the day he had ineffectually sought to obtain the floor to present the petition of 10,000 citizens of Cincinnati praying Congress to pass the Crittenden Compromise. He could not have a better introduction and more grateful to himself than this evidenco of a sincere desire and determination as to the purpose of those who honor him with a seat here, to settle the pending troubles by concilation and a compromise of peace. They now had under consideration tho army bill. Pertinent to this was another subject viz.: the bill introduced by Mr. Bingham for the collection of the reveune at Charleston. He referred to the provisions of this bill authorizing the President in his discretion to collect tho revenue by establishing a custom house on ship board, the collector to seize and detain any vessel until the duties on the cargo are Yaid, and in order to execute this duty the army and navy be employed, &e. He commented on the extraordinary and dangerous power conferred on a subordinate officer of the customs, it being given without limitation and control. The bfll was not universal in its application but was intended only to apply to South Carolina. It plainly and palpably contravened the Constitution, which provides that no preferences shall be given to the port of one State over those of another. He would not debate whether there was legal ami sufficient cause for secession. He continued at some length. Mr. Sherman said his colleague, Pendleton instead of repoaching the Republicans should have addressed those who have contributed to the present excitement. It was our duty to defend the government. If the government attempted to oppress a State he should oppose it himself. The army had never been used to oppress a State except in tho case of Kansas. Mr. Sherman asked where was the fault in this controversy ? Who was in the wrong ?

The Democracy heretofore controlled the army and navy, and the Republicans who

are auxious to assume the government wi do no wrong. They will mil tre.'pi. upon any rights. I n concluiou be said, t? Ihe Ueptililiciin Administration does not do right, millions in the North will stand by you. . . Crawford followed in explanatory remarks in defense of the position of South Carolina, concluding by saying he would di? defending her right.?. Hill responded to Sherman and said the South was approachable with reason and appealed for conciliation. Hill wished it borne in mind that he belonged not to that class of men who would dismember the Union. He wo ild ask Georgia after seceding to have the manliness to refuse a reconstruction and stand out alone. There would be dignity if not safety in such a step. Dawes of Mass. Will you take the platform of the Constitutional Union party, which declares for the " Union, the Constitution and the enforcement of the laws." Mr. Hill. I understand that platform. I was one of its framers. Mr. Dawes. I suppose you will hold yourself to it. Mr. Hill. Do you respect the platform ? Mr. Dawes. I respect, regard, and uphold every obligation of the Constitution and every law passed under it. Mr. Hill. Glad to hear you say so and hope j-ou will administer a severe rebuke to the Governor of Massachusetts for non-concurring with your views. Laughter. Mr. Dawes. There is no State more true to the States and the Union than Massachusetts and its Governor. Mr. Hill. I say that the outgoing Governor, Banks, i3 t better observer of the Constitution than Andrews. He concluded, appealing to gentlemen to take Crittenden's Compromise. He had listened with pleasure to Seward's speech because it was a modification of his former opinions. After further proceedings Mr. Burnett of fered an amendment, that no force be employed against seceding States. Rejected. The army bill then passed and the House adjourned. Nkw York, Jan. 18. The military of New Jersey are taking measures for placing their brigade on a war footing. Simon Katz, convicted of arson, was sentenced, yesterday, to imprisonment for life. The Time3 states on authority of a letter from an ofiicer at Fort Sumter, that Major Anderson found, the day before her arrival, that the Star of tbe West had left New York with reinforcements for him, and that he gave orders not to fire upon the batteries that were attacking the steamer, because he was anxious to avoid a collision. The Tribune has positive information that it is the intention of the rebel leaders at Charleston to attack Fort Sumter as soon as their envoy returns from Washington. The recent charge of Judge Sniuiley concerning treason ha3 driven se oral Southerners from the city. ' General Thorn, agent of Alabama for the purchase of fire arms, departed so hastily on Wednesday, that he neglected to complete his contracts. Washington, Jan. IS. The Senate was in executive session four hours. Holt wa3 finally conGrmed 38 against 13. The bill introduced by McKean in the House on Monday, was to repeal the lawmaking Charleston, Georgetown, and Beaufort ports of entry, even in time of peace. The collection of revenue at these ports costs more than it amounts to. McKean's desire was to stop foreign trade, and send sufficient naval force to blockade the harbor, and he is not alone in this view. Washington, Jan. 17. Every foreign government represented here is distinctly opposed to the secession schemes, and will make their views public when the occasion requires. Word ha3 been forwarded to Gen. Scott from Baltimore, that 2000 young men are fully organized and ready to come on from that city, at the shortest notice, to assist in the defense ot the District and tbe Federal Capitol. The commander himself communicated the proposition to Gen. Scott. The following is the substance of the orders transmitted to the Commander of the Brooklyn previous to her recent trip : " You are to proceed direct to Charleston Harbor, but not to go over the bar nor come to anchor but lay under steam outside and ascertain if The Star of the West has landed her troops; countermand her orders and order her with the troops to Hampton Roads and also give any information as to the existing state of affairs there and then return immediately to Hampton Road3." New York, Jan. 18. A deaf mute named William F. James, supposed to be a runaway from the asylum in Ohio, wa3 arrested as a wanderer ia Brooklyn yesterday. He had considerable money. . The Washington correspondent of the Commercial Advertiser says Senator Iverson has received advices this morning from Pensacola. Fort Pickens having recently been garrisoned by the federal government, it has excited the ire of the secessionists, who are now in possession of Fort Barracas and the navy yards. Richmond, Jan. 18. The Senate debated the House National Convention resolutions. No action. The House passed the million appropriation bill for the defense of the State, and a bill issuing treasury notes at C per cent, for that amount. Norfolk, Va., Jan. 18. The ship Morning Star from Liverpool for City Point arrived at Hampton Roads, and reports that she fell in with the ship Lobus, bound for New York, on fire on the 12th, and took off the captain, crew and passengers, 1 10 in number, including GO females and children. Only one life was lost. Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 18. The aspect of the debate on federal relations has not varied to-day. No vote was taken except on one nnimpoitant amendment in the Senate. The times are perhaps a little more squally. ' Messrs. Cutland and Morehead spoke in the Senate for a general convention. Many strong speeches were made. The House i3 holding night sessions. Milwackje, Jan. 18. The Milwaukie and Mississippi Railroad was sold to-day by the U. S. District Court and purchased by the trustees of the creditors and the assenting stockholders. Tallahassee, Florida, Jan. 16. The delegates to the Southern Congress have been appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the convention. Milledgeville, Jan. 18. The convention was in secret session, and resolutions were adopted by a vote of 100 to 130 appointing a committee of 17 to draft an ordinance of secession. New York, Jan. 18, 10 p. m.

Senator should be elected in joint convention of the two houses, or by concurrent vote ofboth acting separately Mr. Cravens having offered a series of resolutions to the effect that either bouse on adopting the resolutions might proceed immediately to elect a Senator, the person receiving a majority of votes in both houses to be elected, the principal officers of both houses certifj'ing the choice of their respective bodies to the Governor, who should issue the proper commission. The Democrats generally favored a joint convention, tbe Republicans generally concurrent action. The resolutions were adopted and the election was gone into after notification of the passage of a similar concurrent resolution by the House. Henry S. Lane received 27 votes and Jos. A. Wright 21 2 members absent. The resignation of Henry S. Lane as Governor was read, a3 follows : To the President of lite Senate of Indiana: You will please to present to the Honorable body over which you preside, the annexed communication : " To the General Assembly of the State of Indiana: Having been elected to the Senate of the United States by your Honorable body, for the term of six years, commencing on the 5th of March, 1861, I hereby resign the office of Governor of the State of Indiana, the resignation to take effect from and after the reception of this communication. In tendering to you my resignation, I desire, through you, to return to the people of Indiana ray heartfelt thanks for the honor conferred upon me in electinjr me to the UIU IIUU I'-jHJII01"JICI UlllO VI UUtCUIUI KJi the State of Indiana, and also to assure them that nothing but a strong sense of public duty could have iuduced me to tender this resignation. The Senate will please to have thi3 letter entered upon the journals of that body. H. S. Lane. January 16, 1801. A message from the House was received, announcing the election of Henry S. Lane as Senator aud his resignation as Governor, and inviting the Senate into the Hall of the House to witness the inauguration of Lt. Gov. Mortou as Governor. The invitation was accepted and tho .Senate proceeded to the other Hall Gov. Lane and Senator Cravens escorting Lt. Gov. Morton. After the Senate returned to their Chamber, the newspaper question was again taken op, the action ot the day before wiped out, and the usual number of copies of several Indianapolis papers subscribed for.

Hot'SH. Mr. Robbins offered a resolution requesting the Anditor of State to report the amount of the three per cent, fund due from the General Government, and the amount that bad been distributed to tbe ; countic3 from 1847 to 1857. He Baid that ; tbera was owing in his county about $450 from this fund. It ought to be paid over j to the State, and appropriated to the nak- ; ing of roads. Adopted. We find the following note appended to the above from the reporter for tho ludi- , anapolis Journal, from which paper wc i make up this abstract : " There is about ! the same amount due a bridge builder in Monroe county, from this fund. The three percent, fund has been taken by the Gener-

i al Government to pay interest due from the State on about $190,000 of our State bonds held by the United States in trust for certain tribes of Indians. The State should either pay these claims, or enforce the collection of the fund from the General Government. Tbewhole matter was repor ted to the House at the last session by the Committee on Public Expenditures." Various resolutions were adopted, amongst tbem one inquiring into the constitutionality of authorizing the levy of a tax on the real estate on the rout of a proposed plank road or turnpike for the purpose of making it ; one directing inquiry into the expediency of reducing to writing testimony on trials before justices when cases are appealed ; one inquiring whether the prices for the public printing are too high ; one directing the educational committee to provide by bill for the loaning of school funds derived from the estates of unknown heirs ; one inquiring into the expediency of so amending the law relative to compensation for stock killed by railroads as to require the deposit with county audi tors by railroad companies of securities for the payment for stock killed. The latter was offered by Mr. Dobbins of Martin, on account of the refusal of the 0. & M. R. R. to pay for stock killed. A resolution was also adopted directing the judiciary committee to inquire into the expediency of giving exclusive jurisdiction of all crimes to the Courts of Common Pleas except those within the jurisdiction of the justices ; also another relative to the expediency of requiring jails to be kept by coroners instead of sheriffs. A resolution recommending a Border State Convention at Louisville or some other point on the 2 2d of February was referred to the committee of 13. A resolution was adopted inquiring into the expediency of a bill to enroll the militia so tbe State can draw her quota of arms. Resolutions were also passed relative to the levy of taxes by county commission ers for public improvements ; to provide a school fund sufficient to keep schools open six months per year ; to remove obstructions in water courses by road supervisors ; to amend the road law so as to require but two days' work from each road worker annually and to repair roads by road tax on all property in each township (introduced by Mr. Veatch), and requiring supervisors to give bond ; and to amend the practice act. The following bills were read a first time, and passed to a second reading : To legalize the acts of certain special terms of the Circuit Court. To amend section 29 of the act relative to highwayg. To amend tho act relative to estrays and articles adrift. To prevent bogs from running at large without having rings in their noses.

Authorizing justices to administer any oath required by law. To amend section 6 of the practice act. To repeal sections 113 and 117 of tbr common school law. To provide for the keeping of ferries by consent of owners of tbe lands at places where roads cross rivers, kc.

Bill No. 12, relative to the time of holding certain Courts, was, on motion of Mr. Holcomb, read a second time and referred to a select committee Messrs. Holcomb, Edson, Hopkins, and Fisher. The House baving adopted a resolution for the election of a U. S. Senator in joint convention, and the Senate baving failed to concur, the House adopted a resolution to elect by concurrent vote, having been noti fied that the Senate bad just done likewise, The election was held, and Henry S. Lane received 61 votes, Joseph A. Wright 36. Gov. Lane's resignation as Governor being read, the Senate was invited into the Hall of the House to participate in the inauguration of Lieut. Governor Morton as Governor. The Senate came in and the oath of office was administered to Mr. Morton by Judge Perkins. Governor Morton then addressed the two Houses as follows : Governor Morton's Inacccral. Gentlemen of the Senate : I beg leave to return you my thanks for the courtesy and kindness extended to me during our very brief official intercourse That intercourse was just long enough to exhibit, on my part, the awkwardness of the novice, without the improvement and facility resulting only from experience. In the new position in which I am placed, I trust that our relations, both social and official, may continue satisfactory and pleasant. Gentlemen of ihe Senate and Home of Representatives : Called by the Constitution to perform the duties of the office of Governor, it will not be expacted, under the circumstances, that I should deliver a formal inaugural address. I can only pledge myself to you, and through you to the people of Indiana, to tbe extent of my ability, for a faithful and economical administration ; to take care that the laws be enforced ; and to resist extravagance and peculation, come in what form they may. The financial affairs of our State are in great confusion and embarrassment. It will be among your first duties carefully to investigate their condition, which, having done, yon will then be able to devise the necessary remedies, and apply them as far as may be in your power. The people of this State have been promised retrenenment and reform. That promise can and mwt be redeemed. The times in which we are called to act are full of gloomy portents, counseling us to discretion, moderation ana firmness, -ana I shall gladly co-operato with you in all measures having for their purpose the prosperity and well-being of our beloved Com monwealth, and the preservation of tbe glorious and precious Union of these States. The Senate having retired, the following bills were read a first time and passed to a second reading : To amend sees. 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the acts relative to the relocation of county seats. Introduced by Mr. Wells. To repeal an act amending Sec. 42 of the law creating Courts of Conciliation. Adjourned.
