CONGRESS is talking against time. Yet important measures—notably the Appropriation bills—demand immediate confederation. It is evident there is a de* sh'n to crowd important legislation over tothe next Congress.

The New Discoveries in Montana. The lecture of Governor Langford at Lincoln Mali Thursday evening will be one of unusual interest. Until a recent period, a considerable section of the liocky Mountain range, about the head waters of the Yellow Stone river, iu consequence of the intensely hostile character of the Indians inhabiting the reirion, remained entirely unknown. During the past sea-ov an exploring party, consisting of ex-Governor L'Uigtordj Surveyor General H. D. Washburn, and others, wi.h a strong aimed esc rt, visited this region, discovering natural wonders more striking in some respects than hitherto known oti this continent or elsewhere. The Yellow Stone was followed in a series of falls, hundreds of feeH'n 1 eight, to its source, to a lake some 2o miles in diameter, elevated 8,30J feet above the level of the sea. Active volcanoes, evidently of recent origin, were discovered but the feature which, as a wonder of nature, will attract the most attention, is a valley containing a large number os u^ysers or hot water fountains, projecting, in some instances290 feet in height, immense volumes of water, intensely heated, in comparison with which the far-famed geysers of Iceland sink into insignificance.

[•Special lMspatches to the Terre Haute Gazette.] LONDON Jan. 27.—The Telegraph has
a di-patch announcing that Garibaldi and his forces are surrounded by the Prussians near Dijon.
The lily News of to-day says Jules Favre returned from Versailles to Paris on Wednesday. The bombardment continues.
LONDON, Jan. 27.—On inquiry at the German Legation here, at noon to-day, it was ascertained that no information of the capitulation of Paris had been received there, and, at the British Foreign Office, up to a late hour last night, the report that M. Favre had made propositions for capitulation remained uncoil* firmed.
The Echo says that the Germans have resumed preparations for the siege of Cambria.
The Prussians evacuated Dole, and cut the railway between Monchard and Besancon.
General Garibaldi writes to Trappoli, saying "Forget tho past—think only of the future. Organize as many Italian volunteers as possible, and send them to me."
LONDON, Jan. 27.—The negotiations at Versailles still continue with doubtful results.
LONDON, Jan. 27.—Vinoy has accepted command in place of Trocliu, on condition that stern measures shall be adopted to repress disturbances. The radical clubs are closed. The Reveil de Combat is suppressed, and numerous arrests have been made.
The deaths last week in Paris were 4,465. BERLIN, Jan. 2G.—The army of Gen. Manteutfel, crossing the Daul, is in the rear of mrbaki, who is being driven into a dangerous position, and certain to either capitulate or escape into Switzerland.

Cherbourg is crowded with captured German prisoners of war. LONDON, Jan. 27.—The Anglo-Ameri-can Committee, composed of eminent political, legal and military men, will shortly publish an exhaustive report on the fishery question, and other points of difference between the United States and Canada. The conclusions of the report are generally somewhat unfavorable to Americans, but nevertheless take the ground that the Canadian pretensions on the question of headlands are unfounded.
MONTMEDY, January 27.—There was a collision in a tunnel yesterday, between two trains, one carrying German recruits for the Guards, and the other French prisoners. Many prisoners were killed, and a large number injured.
CINCINNATI, January 23.—Nilsson was so indisposed from a cold last night that she could not keep her engagement here.

She will appear here before going elsewhere, but her condition is such now that she can not say when it will be.
RICHMOND, IND., Jan. 28— Our city was thrown into excitement yesterday morning by a shooting affair in the Mayor's office. It seems that just after Wright Lancaster had been tried, found guilty and fined for an assault on the editor of the Indiana Radical, in which he knocked the editor down for publishing an article about him, he (Lancaster) and a policeman named McDowell got into a controversy which resulted tiie policeman trying to arrest Lancaster for an assault, and took hold of him, upon which Lancaster struck at McDowell, -who stepping back, drew a pistol aud shot at Lancaster twice, the first shot taking effect in Lancaster's left side, making a flesh wound, the second one missed him, and struck a brother of this Lancaster, who was standing by him, in the left arm, inflicting a very serious wound.
Quite a crowd was standing behind Lancaster at the time of the shooting. McDowell was arrested and put under one thousand dollars bond^ for his appearance on Saturday morning.

AL SUMMARY.
WASHINGTON, January 27. Senate.
Mr. Scott presented twenty remonstrances from 1,400 citizens of Western Pennsylvania against interference in the navigation of liie Ohio river b^ the construct ion of the Newport and Cincinnati bridge. Referred.
On motion of Mr. Howard, Chairman, the Committee on the Pacific Railroad was discharged from further considera tion of (he resoluti ns of the Dubuque Board of Trade in favor of the construction of the -called northern branch of the Pacific Railroad, westward from the Missouri river, and for a land grant in aid thereof.
On motion of Mr. Thurman, Chairman of the Select Committee to consider Mr. Sprag ie's resolution for investigation into tiie allegiti
MI
of that Senator's
complicity in blockade runners, the said Committee is authorized to send for persons and papers and take testimony.
Mr. Hamlin introduced a joint resolution app inting Gen. Sheman regent of the Smithsonian Institute, vice Gen. Dclafield, resigned. Passed.
Mr. Williams, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported without amendment the joint resolution to confirm the sales of Shawnee Indian lands in Kansas, made with thd approval of the Secretary of the Interior also without amendment the bill confirming the title of the State of Iowa to land granted by the act of July 20, 1SG2.
Mr. Wilson introduced a bill to confirm the title to certain lands in the Fort Kearney reservation.
A motion to adjourn over Sunday prevailed. At 1:30 Mr. Trumbull's bill looking to civil service reform came up as unfinished business.
Mr. Ramsey appealed to Mr. Schurz, who was entitled to the floor, to allow the steamship subsidy bill to be acted upon.
Mr. Schurz replied that he would not proceed it the Cnairm in of the Judiciary Committee,"Mr. Trumbull, would call up the Georgia Senatorial matter.
Mr. Schurz then proceeded to review the necessities of the civil service, and the remedies for existing abuses. Mr. Schurz quoted from the investigations of the -trenchiiient Committee into tiie New York cu-tom house affairs, to show the looseness of the system of political appointments there.
At 4:15 Mr. Hamlin expressed the hope that thepending subject would be summarily laid on the table.
Mr. Trumbull gave notice that he would on Monday call up the Georgia question.
Mr. Ramsey gave similar notice respecting steamship subsidies. Without reaching a vote, the Senate, after a short executive session,adjourned until Monday.
House.
Mr. Conger introduced a bill to provide for admission, free of duty, of animals especially imported from the Dominion of Canada for breeding purposes. Referred.
Mr. Maynard, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a joint resolution to relieve J. T. Thomas, Jr., collector of customs at Baltimore, and the late United States designated depositor there, from responsiblities of the sum of $2,701), stolen by two deputy collectors. After brief discussion the joint resolution was recommitted.
The House then proceeded to call committee reports of a private chaiacter. Mr. Sheldon, of La., from the Committee on Commerce, reported a bill to incorporate the Southern Express Company. The bill was laid on the table.
Tne House, at two o'clock, went into Committee of the Whole, Mr. Wheeler in the chair, on the Indian Appropriation bill. After agreeing to some amendments, tho committee arose, aud the bill pas-td.
The House then proceeded to consideration of the Senate joiut res dutioii extending the time to construct a railroad from St. Croix river, on the Luke, to Uie west end of Lake Superior and to Bayfield.
Mr. Holmes argued against the passage of the joint resolution. Mr. Knott made an amusing speech against the bill, ridiculing its pretensions as an important line of railroad through the pine region extending from St Croix river to Lake Superior. All the members gathered arouud him, laughing heartily at his witty sallies, the effect of which' was heightened by his comic style of delivery.
Without disposing of the bill, Mr. Hooper, Chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, rising to a question of order and privilege, offered the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Senate bill to repeal so much of the act approved July 14, 1870, entitled an act to reduce internal taxes and for other purposes, as continuous income tax, after the 31st day of December, 1862, be returned to that body with tne respectful suggestion on the part of the House that section seven, article one, of the Constitution vests in the House of Representatives the sole pbwer to originate such measures.
The article of the Constitution was read which requires all bills for raising revenue to originate iu the House.
Mr. Randall suggested the provision did not meet this case, as the Senate bill was not a bill to raise the revenue, but to repeal the tax to raise revenue.
The House refused to order the yeas and nays on the resolution, and it was adopted without division.
The House then at 4:20 took recess till 7:30 o'clock, tiie evening session and the session to-morrow to be for debate only.
There was a very thin attendance at
the
evening session. Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, addressed the House on the subject of San Domingo acquisition.
From the London Telegraph.
What the Germans Think. That the Germans are determined to leave no stone unturned in order to make that destiny unavoidable there can not be any doubt. Some 200,000 Landwehimanner, more or less, recently called out, are actually on their way to the seat of war, or on the point of starting. It is reported that GO,000 have passed through Carlsrulie within comparatively few days. The latest plan seems to be to employ the Lundwehr for the occupation of Alsace and Lorraine, in order to Iibereratp the regular troops as much as possible for the active operations further west. The notice given to meu who fancied themselves safe for the present campaign is of the shortest The coachman of a friend of mine was informed one morning that he was "called in," as they say here, and he very same evening he was on hi road, booted and spured, to France. There eeems to be soiue idea of a still further appeal beingimminent, and even those who most deplore the continuance ofthe war strongly advocate it- vigorous prosecution at this particular moment. The Germans are never tired of repealing the paradox, that it is horror of war tl at makes tliem now carry it ou with such earnestnest. If, say they, many weeks elap-e before Paris is taken, anew campaign, like that carried out at Amiens and Orleans may become necessiry and, though they do notdoubt that victory would still follow their legions, they want to njake nure of it, Trouhu's Mobile Guards become better

every day, and new armies may advance to the relief of paris. Above all, it is indispensable, when the capital has fallen, to have enormous ma^es of troops at hand, so that France may he immediately convinced of the inutility of her continuing the stuggle. If she is not convinced then, the South must be overruu, while the North must still be occupied. So the Germans may expect to see every man capable of bearing arms sent to the frontier—the oldest of reserves, the youngest of recruits, even those who hitherto have been discarded by the medical ex*i miners. The people's warfare on the other side wu&t be meta people's
wai on this. Without at all supporting the expediency of this brutal internecine conflict, I simply repeat what I he r. The Germans have persuaded them-s-elves that the utter humiliation of their old enemies is necessary to their existence they are resolved to impose their own terms upon a prostrate foe, and they will spare neither money, nor blood, nor time to gain their ends.
The Boomiield & Terre Haute Railroad. The people of Vigo and Greene counties, seem to be thoroughly aroused to the importance of a railroad from Terre Haute to Bloomfield, and reaching into t^e rich mineral fields and inexhaustible coal beds of Greene county. The Bloomfield Iribune suggests the propriety of holding a meeting of those interested in the enterprise at Indianapolis about the Sth day of February, to complete the organization of a company, and go to work systematically to secure all the stock and donations, necessary to complete the road.
Should this road be built, and wo believe it will, it will eventually be extended to this point to connect with the Rockport road, giving a direct Southern market for the immense surplus products of the fertile valleys lying between this place and Terre Haute and when the necessary transportation is furnished thous inds of hands will find employment in the coal and iron fields in Greene county, and large manufacturing establishment will be raised where now but little is being done. Slock in such a road would certi.inly be a good investment. We shall be happy to announce the complete organization of a company of working men, who will take hold of the work with a determination to build the road.—Mitch* II Commercial.
