HCMHUISTIKO.EXHIBITION or DEPRAVITY.—During t3»o wrecking of the steamship San Francisoo, •wftibsry was the order of the day, to an unparaTlcQt'd extent.

D* Judge Douglas has written a letter to the Governor of Illinois, on river and harbor improvements. He argues the whole question, and advocates the passage of a general law, giving the consent of Congress to the imposi-' tion of tonnage duties according to a uniform rule, and upon equal terms in all the States and territories, considering it sanctioned by the constitution justified by precedents, and in every point of view, the most economical and satisfactory system. His plan makes no distinction between tidal waters and navigable rivers, generally. .,t

O* A correspondent of the Louisville Courier, writing from Cloverdnle, Ind., says quite an extensive swindle has been practiced by Irishmen on the New Albany and Salem Railroad.

WASHIHTON, Jan. 24.—SENATE.—Mr Cass offered the following resolution: Resolned, That the President of the "Crated States be requested to communicate to the Senate, as far as he may deem it compatible with the public interest, a copy of any correspondence which may hare taken place with the government of the Papal States touching a Nuncio to the United States.

Mr. Cass alluded to the manifestations' of disrespect and outrages perpetrated against the distinguished visitor, and expressed his entire condemnation of all auch proceedings avowed his belief that Bedini was entirely innocent of the gross charges made against him. k'

Several members coincided with Mr. Cass. Mr. Weller said he knew nothing of the guilt or innocence of the person, and before he could accuse these people of having done wrong, he would have to examine whether Bedini was guilty or not of what his countrymen charged him. .f&f v, t-1'(M

Dates from Ensanada, Lower California, are to 16th. Accounts relative to the fillibusters are contradictory, but it is known that they were besieged from the 5th to the 4th, when, during the night, the fillibusters attacked the besiegers who fled, leaving their arms, horses, bc. Reinforcements from the Anifa had not arrived, but a veRsel with, them on board was spoken off San Redo, on the 2lst, and they probably arrived at Ensanada on the 25th ult., when an immediate attack will be made upon San Tomas.

The weather in California for a fortnight, was delightful. There had been but little rain, and the miners were disappointed. The water was Insufficient to fill the canals or for washing small gulches.

Our business men have a knack of recover ing, with surprising quickness, from the shocks of the most stunning catastrophes. If their establishments, with the accumulations of toil, are desolated by fire, it is not often that the bricks are cold before they are removed for the purpose of re-building and^who ever heard of re-building in Cincinnati unless the new structure was a great improvement on the old. In this way the most calamitous conflagrations turn out sometimes to be really beneficial, or to seem so, to a mere speculator*.

MR. EDITOR—A few of the Democracy

Some men "of talents, eloquence, sterling democrats, and dever fellows" (to let them tell it themselves.) are not sufficiently appreciated, and are not brought into notice as extensively and rapidly as their superior abilities and extraordinary talents demand.

They wish to receive the "thanks and admiration" due their transcendent powers. "Old Sullivan" is in possession of some such, (one, at least.) In order to discover him, see the proceedings of a few of the democracy of Sullivan, in celebrating the battle of New Orleans on the evening of the 7th hist., as published in the Journal, at Terre-Haute, but not reported by the President or Secretary of said meeting. And many of the volunteer toasts there reported as from distinguished citizens present, are denied by them. They say i.bey never wrote them—did not hear them rsad at the meeting, and had no knowledge of them till they saw them reported in the Journal. The last two, by Esq. McDannel, are of this class, one of which reads as follows

MS.

O* New counterfeit threes on the City Bank of New Haven, unlike the genuine,

are in circulation in Hartford, Conn. Also counterfeit tens on the Deep River (Conn.) Bank, whole appearance unlike the genuine. Also tens on the Litchfield County Bank, altered from ones the bank has no lens signed by J. McAllister, cashier.— A new counterfeit, purporting to be a 86 bill on the Boston BanJc, is wholly unlike the genuine, and purports to be engraved by Danfortb, of New York. v.

Haromel,

Esq.—A man of talents, a sterling democrat, an eloquent speaker, and a clever fellow. His speech on this occasion was appropriate, beautiful, and eloquent, entitling him to our thanks and admiration."

Those old democratic citizens of Sullivan partaking of the festivities of the occasion, seem badly plagued, and say they were not aware till since the celebration passed off, that it was all got up for the benefit of one individual. In this the peculiar talent of one is demonstrated. Perhaps that one reported the proceedings without consulting the Chairman or Secretary. Perhaps appreciating his superior abilities (above what others do.) he wrote out toasts for a McDannel, a Wolf, a Thompson and others, and reported them as original, without consulting those to. whom they were credited. But then he is

Bury the whig party face downward, never to be resurrected.— Preach their funeral, chant their elegy, and all because he had a jury of his party, for the purpose, no doubt, of influencing justice and vindicating to the democracy of Sullivan, that he was *'a sterling democrat," believing that they would take a loud profession of principles before men. But the hook is too much exposed in the bait to be readily gulped down, and although sugared over with strong professions of44sterling democracyyet I imagine such a disgusting and nauseous bolus, will not be readily swallowed by the independent democrats of Sullivan county. ..

The English Evening Mail has the following announcement of Bedini's visit to the United States: •«r* "Monsignor Bedini, who has earned the respectable surname of Skinner, from his Romish zeal in having the head and hands

previous to his execution, has had an uncomfortable "sejour" in America, where he was accredited as Nuncio on the part of his most holy lord and master. The Yankees had a mind to tar and feather him. He escaped, however, with whole skin and tonsure. The Pope, to console him for the fright, has appointed him to a Court where such virtues as he possesses will be appreciated. He is now to represent the Holy See at Madrid, where he may decapitate every schismatic or seditious churchman be can find, and be all the more agreeable company for it/4

CAPT. GCKNISON.—The suspicion is gaining ground, and seems to bp well founded that this unfortnnate of£cer was not killed by the Indians but by the Mormons. The fact that Gunnison and bis party were not scalped, and that their bodies were mangled—two circumstances unusual in Indian warfare—and that the account of their murder came originally from the Mormons themselves* is calculated to give weight to the suspicion. In addition to this, we were told by a gentleman yesterday, that he was in Gunnison's camp on the plains, as he started, and was informed by him that he had rendered himself very obnoxious to the Mormons by corroborationg in his official reports to the Government, the account of their lawless irregularities, and that it would be dangerous for him to appear in the Salt Lake vicinity.

There the Dtake said of Mrs. Soule, "Look at Margaret of Burgundy," alluding to her dress. Her son resented it bv calling the Duke a scamp or blaokguardL When the father hearu of il, in order to transfer the Affair to himself, lie walked up to the Duke, took him by the arm and g»2ed in his face. The Duke, L. however, did not take, and next morning the younger Soule sent him a challenge.— The bearer of the cartel being an intimate friend of the Duke, got him to apologize in writing. Hereupon, certain Spaniards blamed him for having done so to a boy, and it is reported, though not certain, that the French Embassy also urged him to take further measures.

NEBRASKA.—Senator Dixon, of Ky., on Monday last, offered an amendment to Douglass4 Nebraska Bill, legalizing and establishing slavery forever in that Territory. This has been done, we presume, to bring the matter up fair and square before the Senate ana the country. Although the present bill virtually advocates the Missouri Compromise yet it does not say so in so many words. Mr. Dixon's amendment rescues the bill from doubt or equivocation.
