CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, Feb 28. You wilt see from the debate in the Senate, of yesterday, that there is a wish, on the part of some of the members of that body, to put the Oregon notice in some de-
fimte form, in accordance with the sense of
the Senate, before the discussion proceeds further. There is some project on foot in regard to this matter, by which the Sennte will be enabled to act with a remarkable degree of unanimity, as well as of moderation. Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Colquit spent two hours in private conversation with the President yesterday morning. I conjecture that the movement of .Mr. Calhoun, yesterday, and the offer of a modification of Mr. Crittenden's amendment by Mr. Colquit, which Mr. Crittenden will accept, indicate the shape in which the notice is ultimately to take, and that is in conformity with the present views of the President. I also think it extremely probable, from cartain circumstances that occurred yesterday, that some instructions in relation to a compromise, have been sent to Mr. McLane, or rather are about to be, and perhaps, in reply to some overture received through
nr. .uciane. ike impression is that
The minority, four Democrats, declare that Mr. Farlee, has a r'uhl to his sea'. The reports were read, and the subject debated until the hour of adjournment Cin. Gaz. Correrponttrncr of Ihr Ba'.t. i',v.

Mr. McLaThe impression is that no farther negotiation will take place through Mr. Packenham.
Unless the pacific declarations of the British ministers and of the Queen's speech be soon followed by some friendly overture on the part of the British government, (if indeed it has not. already been.) it may as well be supposed that we are farther from an adjusment of the Oregon question than we have ever been; and that every step which is hereafter to be taken, on either side, will bring us nearer to a collision. The tariff bill will be reported nextweek, and will not essentially vary from Mr. Walker's project: which, by the way, is, I find, considered as too protective by the ultra free trade men. The nulification organ---the Charleston .Mercury---- condemns it It seems to be the impression, that the new tariff will be pressed in the House at
an early day, with a view to operate favor-

Odd Characters. Etrjry assembly has these. They generally afford some fun for members, and good topics for sketchy letter-writers. Congress has her share, and Ohio her full compliment. We give a notice below of some of these members, taken from an eastern journal. If there be over coloring, the reader will nevertheless see the likeness of the Chirac lers drawn. Cm. Uaz. Kvety Congress brings along some odd geniuses lo this city. The present Congress contains several species of thi class. General Chipman, of Michigan, goes into fits at the sight of a Webster's spelling book, for he feels that education is the bane of democracy, for which there is no antidote to prevent the patient from bein attacked with Whicgery. and therefore he keeps spelling b .oks, and other rudimental manuals away from thp flPfin ta hm

The only safe books to be circulated among the people are copies of his printed speeches in pamphlets, as they contain no traces whatever of the malady of education.

a chunk of bread and a sausage or some other unctuous substance. These he disposes of quite rapidly, uipes his hands w iih ih greasy paper for a napkin, and then throws it out of ihe window. What little grease is left on his hands he wipes on his almost bald head which saves any outlay for Pomatum. His month sometimes seems as a finger glass, his coat sleevcn and pantaloons being called into requisition as a napkin. Ileuses a jackknife for a toothpick, and then he goes on ihe floor again to abuse the Whigs as the Dntisti Party, and claims the whole of Oregon as necessary for the spread of Civilization. I believe he goes like Chipman, against all seductive acts ol Educationsome suspect that he has a store of vegetables in his drawer. But enougn ofthe habits of an Ohio Locofoco. I believo that Senator Allen claims the credilof havinzurcei England into pacific measures. Hethinks his speechin which he said England "dare not go to war," frightened the British Lion into that tame and "sucking dove," like expression which ilhas assumed in the late advices. As it is only two or three days since Mr. Allen's speech was delivered, some doubt whether it could yet hare any effect in England. This difficulty, howewr, only suggests itself to those who have not heard Mr. Allen speak lo the Senate. There is no difficulty whatever in point of space, as Allen could be pretty distinctly heard across a respectable ocean. He would make a capital Marine I clegraph.

Se7iator Lecy-Xw Yulee. The Wa.h-
ington correspondent or the Richmond Enquirer, who appears to beat hmie about transactions at Washington, thus speaks of the change in nsme of the Senator from Florida: I have lately had the curiosity lo ascertain from a friend, the cause of the recent change in Senator Levy's nama to Yulee. which as it embraces the history of a family who have, in a comnarativelv
short time, passed through more singular vicissitudes lhan that of any other public
in wie united states, I feel so strongly tempted to lay it before your readers, as to overcome my scruples in such cases. So, here it is: His eiandfather nhn.n
name was Yulee, was the First Councillor, or Grand Vizr of the Emperor of Moroco or ihose days. The son of the Emperor engaged in conspiracy against his fathei's life and authority, and it became the duty of Mr. Yulee to check and punish; and so doing, he was compelled to throw the Prince into prison. Shortly afterwards, and whi.'e the latter was in'confinement, the old Emperor died, and his
son went from tho prison to the throne. His first act was to cast his fathet's friend and adviser into the same dungeon, whero he died shortly afiet-ar ... j
the confiscation of his estate. As the sot- . r ai i ii V. . t .
...ii was me or.iv inr bnnu-n ;n
Morocco in such cases, the family, to save
"vts, ""e lorced to fly somewhere beyond the authority of the nevy Emperor, and chance favored them with an escape to Gibraltar. Soon afterwards the rather of Yulee, then a young man, went to Cuba, and changing his name to Levy, entered into commercial business. Mr. Y. was born in that Island, and came with his parents to this country about the time ofthe cession of Florida to the United States, as the world knows. He is perhaps the youngest man in the U.S. Senate, of j Which he IS a most Useful and nrnmisinJ
member notwithstanding the fact, that hisgrandsire was as staunch and phlegmatic an old Turk as ever set cross-legged, or whiffed the hooka.

An Enormoui Xegt of Counterfeiters Broke lp.-A letter irom IIardmsburgh (Kentucky) says the citizens of the county and those of Larue have recently broken up the largest band of Counterfeiters and horse thieves ever discovered in tbe United States. Eight or ten of the scoundrels have been caught at Hardensburg and other places in the county, and a still larger number in an adjoining county. The headquarters were at Beacham's, in Larue county, where a large amount of spurious money was fonnd. They are said to number thirty or forty in Larue, and the gang extended as far as Nashville.

Intemperance is a disease of ihe Stomach! This, its feaverish heat, nalurai'y points out, and cold water is of course the remedy; for cold water counteracts (cures) heat. 'Tis the remedy of Nsiure herself. 'Tis a law of God, which goes before and is superior to that of man. For the laws of man are not strong enough to save a fellow creature when given to strong drink. No, they are not; there most be help, and that help is water; therefore, whenever you feel an inclination to drink intoxicating liquors, drink cool, fresh water. Fill the stomach yea, fail not, friend and brother, to fill the Momach with cooi, fresh water; and you will soon conquer
your appetite and may be saved yourielf from becoming a disgusting drunkard. Cld water is effeclual on the following principles: Principles of Cure. I. Cold water, laken into the stomach, is a substitute for
and counteracts the desire for intoxicating liquois. 2. Cold water quenches the artificial heat caused by drinking intoxicating liquors. 3- Cold water freely taken produces a disgust for alcohol, and this very disgust is the object, the secret ofthe cure. And now, friends and brethren, whether in high or humble life, take the above cotincel (without fee) lo heart; you will find. That a sober life is a good life. 'Tis a saving of health. 'Tis a savi.ig of time.
'Tis a saving of credit.
And what is mora than all, it
