f3Cd Congress. Session.

In Senate. JIarch 5. Mr. Tiptox, from the select Committee with regard to the admission of the Territories of Michigan and Arkansas into the Union asked that certain documents of the Legislative Council of Michigan might be printed; which was agreed to. Mr. Hendricks presented the memorial of the General Assembly of Indiana, relative to appropriations for the Cumberland Road; which 'was referred to the Committee on the Post Office and Tost Roads. . , .March G. The Senate took up for consideration, the bill to revive the act granting pre-emption rights to settlers upon the public lands, dated 29th May, 1330. , . , . Mr. Tipton offered an amendment to authorize any person inhabiting one quarter section, ind cultivating another, to enter either, at his discretion. Mr Tipton's amendment being under consideration Mr. Ewing suggested a further amendment, by adding, "provided that he shall designate to the Receiver, within six months afier the passage of this act, which he elects." jJJr. Tipton accepted this as a modification, and the amendment was agreed to, when the bill was reported to the Senate. Mr. King of Alabama, then offered an amendment, giving pre-emption rights to all persons located on the public lauds, previous to 1829. Mr. K. observed that he thought the amendment necessary, as the construction given to the law by the Secretary of the Treasury, was, that only iico of the actual settlers could receive pre-emptions. The amendment was agreed to, and the bill was then ordered to be engrossed and read a third time. norsn of representatives, March 5. Mr. Carr rose to present certain proceedings, &c. and remarked that he held in his hand the proceedings of a meeting holden in the town of Madison, in the state of Indiana, on the 7th of February, 1934, in pursuance to previous notice given for the purpose, as is alleged, of taking into consideration the embarrassed state of the country and derangement of its currency; and remarked that he had not been furnished with a copy of the proceedings adopted by the meeting, in the usual manner in which proceedings of the like kind are generally received; that the proceedings were sent to him by the gentlemen who acted as Secretaries to said meeting, in a paper printed in the town of Madison, together with a letter addressed to him by the same gentlemen. TW Amaila? till Via Vi n f 1 rtrf lOfn rnnnocf a1 any individual who did attended the meeting t0 present the proceedings to the House, nor did he know that it was the wish of those who did attend it, that he should do so; that he had not been informed as to the extent of the meeting, but that he was acquainted with the gentlemen who acted as officers to eaid meeting, and also with these who composed the committee, whose duty it was made to draft the proceedings, and he knew them all to be highly respectable individuals. Under all the circumstances, he felt it his duty, with the leave of the House, to present the proceedings. Upon h:s motion, the memorial was read, and ordered to be printed, and the same directions giv en to them, as to the other memorials on this subject. March 6. On motion of Mr. McCarty, Resolved, That the Committee on Private Land Claims be instructed to inquire into the expediency of authorizing the onlcers of the I and Office at Fort Wayne, and the Commissioner of the General Land Office, to correct an error in the entry of an 80 acre lot of land, in the name of William O'Neal, of Delaware county, Indiana, made at Fort Wavne Land Office, on the 29th of September, 1831 .

J.V.-lPiM'-VG DISASTER.

Philadelphia, Hahcii the Stc Yesterday afternoon to the citizens city and Baltimore, on her way from New Castle, when nearly opposite the Point House, was discovered to be on fire. Every exertion was made to stop the progress of the fhrncs, which spread with great rapidity from the fire room, and soon communicated with the fuel. Tli3 boat was run ashore between the Point House and the Navy Yard, and the passengers, amounting to 140 to 150, jumped overboard. The scene presented was one of inexpressible dismay; and, painful to relate, three lives were lost. The Rev. Mitchell Moore arid a lady from Lcwistown, Delaware, and Col. Porter, of this city, who all jumped overboard abaft the wheelhouse, where the water was deep, were drowned. The passengers all suffered severely from the nature of the landing, it being very soft mud. The sight of the burning mass, from the city, was witnessed by thousands of citizens, who thronged the wharves, the vessels and rigging, evincing intense anxiety for the safjty of the passengers on board the boat, and hundreds hurried to the spot, but arrived loo late to afford any assistance to the sufferer?. The first assistance, as we believe, was given by the little steamboat that ylies between South street and King's Point. Soon after, the smaller boats ; that had put off from the wharves, and carriages that hastened to the scene of distress, afforded the means of conveying most of the sufferers to the city. Whilst we mourn this calamity, wc are ch.ee rcd by the recollection, that during the whole time, perhaps thirty-five years, that steamboais have been running on the Delaware, this is the first accident that has occurred. The boat was burnt to the waters edge, and we regret to learn the loss sustained will be about $70,000. Com. Herald. Philadelphia Post Office, i March 5, 1S31,7 P. M. Three bags, containing newspapers and pamphi lets, were received on the evening of the 4th frcm onboard the Win. Penn, one of them partly burnt; some of tlie packages missing, and a portion ol the remainder so wetted and defaced, as to render further transportation useless. One of the packages marked "Massachusetts ssf taken from the Washington cityletter mail (the only one saved) and containing letters for parts of Massachusetts and NewHampshire, was detained, the letters being loo damp to be forwarded. A number of bags containing newspapers and pamphlets are missing. Some it is supposed, were burnt, and others thrown overboard and lost. Persons finding any loose packages, and detaining or embezzling them, will bo prosecuted under the act of Congress, and become liablo to line and imprisonment. If returned immediately to this office a suitable reward will be given. Further search has led to the conclusion that the l uge portmanteau containing tiie letters from Baltimore city and west, viz: Cincinnati Ohio and St. Louis, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, W. Tennessee. W. Shore, Maryhnd, and Washington. Brownsville, Uniontown, and New Gevena, Pj. have been entirely consumed. Their locks and chains partly melted, were found in the wreck of the boat on the falling of the tide, by Mr. McCahcn, chief carrier, and Mr. loole, the proprietor ol the hotel at i point. "6 Messrs. Faber and Potter, after a diligent search on the fiats, at low water, were unable to discover any of the lost mails. It is impossible to tell the extent of the loss ocsioned bv the destruction of the portmanteau. JAMES PAGE, P. M. Mails Lost. We learn that Messrs. Tuber and Potter, the gentlemen despatched by the post master in search of the missing mails, returned to the post office yesterday afternoon, with the chains and locks of the portmanteaus, the letters, packages, &.c. hiving been destroyed on board the Wm. Penn, by fire. Ths mails thus lost, no doubt, contained a large sum of money, as this is the season of the year at which the southern merchants make large remittances to the north.

Vv e have, with much regret, noticed that most of the recent struggles, and threatening dangers in our Government, have been brought about by selfish individuals, ambitious, not for the welfare of cur country,-but for the loaves and fishes. YV e have recently heard several names mentioned in connexion with the subject of the next Presidential election, and among them we have heard yours, which is the only one we can cheerfully euoport.

Washington City,2Alh February , 1 S3 1. Gentlemen: After perils by land and water, your highly Jlatte ring communication, bearing date 12th of January, has been duly received, and its contents, having been considered, your very humble servant, with due respect, answers and says, that, if you are in real good earnest about making me President, you are more partial to me than I am to myself. You speak in the strongest possible terms of my fitness tbr the office of President of the United rJtstes, and a discharge of its duties. In this you may be right, as I expect there is likely something in me that 1 have never yet found out. I don't hardly think, though, that it goes far enough for the Presidency, though I suppose I could do as the "Government" has done make up a whole raft of Cabinet Ministers, and get along after a manner. But wo be unto me, if I should catch a "magician" while fishing for a Cabinet my Cabinet would soon blow up siiy-iiigii. it is trie way witn an great men, never to seek or decline office. If you think vou littl ,thr nnf. lmt von talk so nrettv. that I cannot refuse. If 1 am elected I shall just sieze the old monster, party, by the horns, and sling him right slap into the deepest place in the great big Atlantic sea. Gentlemen, I can't give just now my notions about the great bulk of Government matters, as they hardly stand in any one's way long enough to form any opinion about them. Opinions are not the things they are cracked up to be, no how. They get mightily in a man's way in after times, every once in a while. I believe, therefore, I shall go for non-committal iust a bit, and you may work the election more to your notion as nobody can misinterpert my opinions when I wont express any. Running against the man I do, I can't get along in any other wav. Again I say, Go a-head! Most affectionately, yours, DAVID CHOCKETT. Some of the opposition editors appear to think it a strange thing, and the height of independence, that, after they have been, for months, making incessant J appeals to the patriotism of the bank to disregard "the technical forms oi constitutions and laws, and resort to brute force for the attainment of their objects, the republican presses should dare to tell them plainly, that if nothing else would satisfy them, they would be met in their own way by the democracy of the country. Did they expect any thing else? Did they suppose the republicans were so base, so mean-spirited and cowardly, that they would not protect officers of their own choosing, and resist any attempt to overturn our government by violence? If they did, they are now undeceived, and will hereafter recollect that others, besides the friends of the United States Bank, have an interest in our free institution. But lot it be distinctly recollected, that all the threats about marching to Washington all the appeals to the passions of desperate men to stimulate them to resort to aims, and devastate the land with C - 1 1-1 i.

Louiscillc Adc. Cultivation of Peaches. Peach trees may be preserved by good management, twenty, and probably forty or fifty years. They are destroyed from north latitude forty to thirty-six degress, by a worm which feeds on the inner bark of the tree, at its root. This worm is said to be the offspring of a fly of the wasp kind, which deposites its eggs in the bark of

egg, or it deposited it pensties. Alter the worm is cut out in the spring, draw the earth up around the body six or eight incites above tiie other ground. Of all the fruit trees produced in this climate, none bears pruning so freely as the peach: indeed it should be treated very much as the vine is. All those branches which have borne fruit should La cut cut if there is young wood to supply their places. Proof take a limb which has borne two or three croosof fruit, and notice its produce; take another on the j same tree, which has never borno at all, and the fruit on this last will be twice the size of the former, fairer and less liable to ret. In pruning, the branches should be taken or cut out of the middle of thc tree; thus giving more air and sun to the fruit on the outer limbs. Thc peach tree produces the best fruit when the ground is not stirred about it while the fruit is on. When ithas no fruit it should be cultivated as carefully as a cabbage or any other plant. The above comprises the most important points in the rearing of peach trees, and good fruit: if attended to I have never known it to fail and my experience has not been limited. I repeat what may perhaps, be doubted, that the peach tree if the worm is kept out of the root, will live at leas t twenty years; and that this certainly may be done by attacking them the fust year of its growth, and continuing to extract them for three or iuia 3 ucus in succi-ssioii, not lorgeunigio oraw earth up as directed. Straw, chips or trash of anv kiud, serve the purpose just as well. R. 11. 13. Lunatics.

On Monday last he commenced nn examination of the route, preparatory to making the survey, which will probably be commenced about the first of May next.

So far as wc have been able to discover, there is no division of sentiment in this section of country in regard to the proposed work. There is perhaps no section of the valley of the Mississippi; which exceeds in fertility of soil the While water country; and nothing is wanting. but r.n outlet through which our surplus produce can be convey-, cd to a market, to place it upon a footing uth any other section of the country.

he was fleeced bv a well dressed vounsr man whom he invited to ride with him, out of his entire cargo. ! Out of gratitude the stranger plied Dodds with liquor at every tavern; and when they had arrived ut llo-j boken Ferry he not only paid the whole fare across, ! but persuaded Uodds to take another glass of spirits, and then reat himself by the stove in the cabin where he immediately fell asleep. The moment the boat touched the wharf, the stranger mounted Dodds' wagon, drove to Washington market und disposed of its contents to good advantage.

In the course of an hour or two, he was turned out into the street, without shoes, hat, or coat, in which predicament he was met by a watch - man, who took him into the watch house, where he lodged the remainder of the nirht.
