R. Ii. HUDSON, EDITOR. TERItE HAUTE, INI). . WEDNESDAY . JANUARY !8 ET The Opposition Executive Committee, appointed at th laut County ConTeo tion, is requested to meet at Scott & Booth's "office od Saturday the 23di inst, at 3 o'clock P. ii. The calling of a Count Conventioa to tend delegates to the State Convention aod other matters of importance will le transacted. The important political campaign of 1560 in fast approaching and it behooves every patriot to lend his assistance to the promotion of correct principles. The committee consists of the following gentlemen, and I liope they will make it convenient to be present on the above specified occasion. " Messrs. H. D. Scott, James Wyeth, W. K. Edward. John P. Baird aod Robert Thomas, of Hsrrisoa township ;John Clem and F. Mills, of Honey Creek ; Willis Sim mons aad James D. Piety, of Prairie Creek; William Corel and aud H. " C.

James and David Rippetoe, of Fayette - and William C. Whittaker and H. B. Randolph, of Linton. II. D. SCOTT, Chairman. ' Coaat y Convention. It will be seen, by a call in to day's is aue, from the chairman of the Executive Com'mittee, that the initiatory step is taken towards the calling of a County Conven tion, for the purpose of sending delegates to a State Convention, and uniting on a Stale ticket, to be run in opposition to the present Democratic State ticket. This an important movement, and we hope the "committee will deem it proper to call the Convention at as early a day as possible Our organisations should be perfected soon, so that the doctrinea on which we staod, can be presented to the people. We should send good, judicious, far-seeing men, to the Convention, in order that tfeket may be made which will meet the approbation of all opposed to the disunion Democratic party. We invite the specia attention of the gentlemen composing the Committee, and hope they will bo presen on the 2ith inst. . O To a careful observer of the pro eedings of the recent Democratic Conven tion, one thing is apparent the mora! cowardice of the leaders. While they en tertaio the bitterest animosity toward each other while the Administration men hate the Douglas men with a cordiality lhat is entirely reciprocal while they dif Yer radically upon one of the cardinal doc trines of their party, still for fear of losing tie spoils, they eay they are united, and tlat they will remain so. The declaration is only from the lips out, for in the heart o the leaders there still rankles a feeling too intense to be so easily smothered. LecompUniasa aud anti-Leeouiptooism cau never come together oil and water iiiay float down the same chaouel, but they will not mix. The Administration and Mr. Douglas are standing to-day at sword' points. They hate with an irreconcilable hatred Douglas declares that the Charleston Convention must build a platform under him, instead of placing him one, and the Administration leaders every where, aud at all times declare their hostility to his advancement to the Presidency. The friends of Mr. Douglas claim a triumph in the recent Convention at Indianapolis, tili Administration men are its nominees for all the fat offices. The Douglas men succeeded in getting parted a resolution. instructing the delegates to the Charleston Convention to vote a unit, and vot too for Stephen A. Doug las as long as he was a candidate before that Convention, butyet Mr. Develin of the Fifth Congressional District, and Mr. Tal bolt oi the Sixth, told the Convention to its teeth, that those districts would not obey the instruction that they- bad been instructed by their respective constituents to vote otherwise, and when they got to Charleston they would not cast their votes for Mr. Douglas. They recognised the right of each Congressional District to in struct its delegates : theirs had done so. and it was those instructions they would obey.' Another district was also known to be much disaffected towards Mr. Douglas The light of the State Convention to in struct only the delegates at large, was rrc oznized bv them. Under such a state of circumstances, how ran the Douglas men claim a triumph in the recent Convention? and by what authority do they assert that Indiana will cast her entire vote in the Charleston Convention for the Seoator from Illinois? She will do no inch thing, aad those over-enthusiastic friends of the Little Giant, will ßnd this out when per haps it is too late. Jf Mr. Douglas carries a majority of the delegates from this State, he may regard himself a peculiarly fort no ate. We watch edthe proceedings of the Democratic Stale Convention 'with much interest, and if there was one feature connected with it more striking than an other, it WSS the de termination of the Administration men. They seemed resolved to place the Douglas men, at all times and on all occasions, th record." so that, when the time eoraes they may punish them for their Leraies. Mr. Douglas is about as sure of lli united Democratic rote of the Indiana delegation in the Charleston Convention, as be 1 of getting the nominati hi of that Convention neither of wbiph will be ever D" Two years ago, sajs the Cincinnati Gaaetle, it will be remembered a wild eat lank failed at Gosport, Ind., leaving its notes to the amount of about 200,000 in the hand of the public, toward the redemption of which nothing las since been done. The proprietors of that concern have, wa are informed, concluded to try their hand again at the boainess, selecting a location this time, however, the District of Columbia, instead .of Indiana. Arrangamaat have been made, we understand, for a large jssue from Washington City, aud an officer of the "institution" was in this city to-day, making terms with parties to give it a "circulation," IJa ja -rather "seedy" tor a banker, but his countenance denotes that sharpness which is character! stie of successful wild-cat peculators. Look out, then, for District of Columbia "money." J Jlog killing has .not .yet closed io ibia eity, as we Kam that a corjiJrabl mmWr of bogs arrive! for on; of slaughtering homes, lt night.

ET The following is part of a Democrat

ic speech recently made in Congress by Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi. It has the true Democratic ring, aod is worthy the most enthusiastic follower of fha illustrious . B. Such sentiments grate rither harshly upon -Northern ears, but they srelhe reflex of the Southern Democracy, and as the Democratic party is a great National par ty, they are consequently ne t disavowed by Northern Democrats. If the Democracy tl.isk the utterance of such sentiments, s calculated to intimidate Northern free men, in our judgment they vrill find they reckon without their host. If it IS sup posed that Northern men will sacrifice principle to appease Southern fire eaters, n our judgment the auppoait ion is ground ess. Let the Democratic leiders go n et them continue making auch speeches. as is indicated below, but they will find a terrible retribution awaits hera about the ides of next November. But read the following what a Southern Democrst ssys : "He thought, however, that the only mode by which the South ran extend slaver is bv the annexation of Msxico. The Government ofthat nation was now dead. and we as next of kin had a riht to ad minister the estate, declare ourselves the lawful heirs, and take possession. Then they would have an outlet for slavery in a land where cotton, sugar, anu nee may be cultivated. They must tile e possession of that country, establish alavery there. and perpetuate it ror nunöreus anu mou sands of years, for in that mode alone could the institution of slavery be preserv ed. This slavery agitation bad been too long a winning came with those gentlemen, (the Republicans.) and they would never be persuaded to forego it.. He was . a WW a 1 . 1 readv toKOOut of tne union to a ay, ana tave notice that he was el cted to Congress upon tne ground mat ne a Mtesimu ist. ... - . The South would be united on this ques tion whenever the North khould undertake to dace in the Presidential chair any such man aa Seward. Chase, or one of that strine. The whole South would rise to re sist bis inauguration. Tie army aod navy of this country would never be permitted to go into the hands ol the macs: jtepuuu rans. as it would do if a Black Republicai Prosident had power to dismiss and ap point officers. Io gentWman in the South would take office nnder a President like Seward, and if he succeeds in finding there to be his tools and cratxsa ries. thev would be prewptly expelled. Whenever a Black Flepablican President should be elected, who declares mere is an irrepressible conf ic betweeu slavery and free labor, then the daya of this Reruil.lir. would be numbered. The onlv way the Kepublicana could preserve the union wou.u oe w receue altogether from their present position, throw open the Territories to lavery, declare to the world that any slare State hereafter formed should be promptly admitted, exe cute the fugitive slave law in good faith, and give the South assurance that do difficulties will be interposed against the recovery of fugitives. Unless all this was promptly done, he believed the historian now lives who will write, in the history of this Union, the motto Ilium fu if. St I For tlio Express. The Society of Friends and Dr. Ilwlburt. The citizeus of Terre Haute and vicinity may have met with an advertising sheet of Dr. Hulburt of the 2d int., in which an article appears under the head of "Sally Ann Cepeland." As this article is an attack upon the Society of Friends aud does that people great injuUice, I ask a small space in "The Expreis." for the purpose of presenting the subject in its true light. It may be known to the public that the necessities of tlie po-r, belonging to the Society of Friends aie relieved by the Society, throu.h the agency of a comtnitU-e appointed by each Mouthly Meeting, and such expense as well as the education of their children, is met by a draft upon the Treasurer of the Monthly Meeting. It is made .i conditio of such charity, that the ricij-ie-iit is to comply with the at! vice of such committee, and it sometimes happen- thai surh as are most dependent, arc least willing to accede to the wishes of their friend-. During the lal summer, the invalid above named (who had been under the care of the Socie ty fi.r years, and would sometimes be better and sometimes worse) and had often at her own earnest solicitation been iudulg-d in medical treatment, (too freely for heron good,) having beCOmo acanuiuted wii.li the advertisements of Dr. Hulburt used strong entreaty with her friends to be taken to bis Infirmary at Terre Haute. Notwithstanding doubts were entertained, of the propriety of auch a course, her friends acceded to her wishes, and she was placed under the care and treatment of Dr. Hulburt with the understanding, that at the expiration of ei,;ht weeks, if there was not evident snd satisfactory improvement, she wan to be taken away. In the mean time letters of inquiry were sent to Cleveland, Ohio, at which place the Dr. had represented himself to have been at one time, a celebrated practitioner, and to other placer to which he had referred said committee. The answora to these letters not Ltirg satisfactory, the oldest citizens in Cleveland not being able to remember an acquaintance with such a personage, and he not boing willing to kub mil his treatment snd opinion of the case tothe judgment of any physician in Terre Haute, except such as were regarded there at outside of the prteuion, and the patient showing no apparent improvement, it was decided that nhe should return home. A deputation wai accordingly c;it for her, at the expiration of the time stipulated, but she rt-fused to return with them. It was her privilege to decline her friends' services, and the Doctor's privilege to keep her when she chose to remain, and her friend considered it a matter of course undr the Circumstances, that they should settle all dues up to that date aud take measures to relieve themelveft from legal obligations to Dr. Hulburt, which they did by a second deputation of four persons, she aain refusing to return home. The patient wat informed that whenever she was not suitably provided far, or wished to return homo to let her friends know and they would. !e ready to give her suitable aid. Wiat could have teeii done more ? Fron these facts ait intclligxol public will be able to judge of the justice of Doc lor Hulbort's animadversions upon the St Ciety of Friend. . . C. II .

Ma. EniToa : I was pleased to aee the ventilation given to Mr. " Wabasb,"in your psperof the 14th.

lie must be a very sincere friend of anion indeed, who csn Coolly sit down in his office and calumniate individuals, aod misrepresent the proceedings of a public meeting of his fellow-citisens, and that too over an anonymous signature, through the sol umns of a paper published in a distant part of the State. The very life-like portraiture of the mis chief-maker, sketched by yourself, pre eludes the necessity of saying any thing about him personally at present; when he haa sufficiently viewed and admired himself in the glass which you have so truth fully held up to Nature, it will be time enough to sketch a few mere of his pecu liar traits of character. At present I pro pose to say a few words to the point more immediately interesting the public. That meeting waa called for the purpose of organising a political .party . With due deference to the signers of the call, who are among our most respected citiaeus, the fact cannot be disguised that a majority of Republicans were not favorably impressed wim me inaiier wnicu, it contained. 1 ne first meeting did not come off as advertis ed. At the second, the originators of the movement had it all their own way and a committee wss appointed to report to an anjouriteu meeting. At that meeting a series of resolutions wero reported, not so objectionable for what they did contain, as for what they did not contain; although they were quite lengthy; so much so, that there was a general desire to adjourn, and have them priuled, to enable people to vote upon them more understandingly; this was objected to on the ground that if that courbe was pursued, "the whole thing would fizzle out." The great mistake in this matter appears to have been the idea that it is within the power of roan to make something out of nothing; that a political party could be formed and maintained without any fixed principles, without any deficite course of policy respecting the question which now agitatea this country from its centre to its extremest limits. Probably there was not a single Kepub lican present at that meeting, but what de sired most heartily, a union of all the elements of opposition to the present msd and fratricidal policy of the miscalled Demo cratic party. The only question with there was, aa to the principles upon which the union was tobe formed I they were not desirous of occupying the position of the silly ostrich, who places bis head in the sand, forgetting all the while that its body is exposed. They were eelicitous for union, but it was a union upon principle, sincerely believing that any other union, would end ulti. mately io disaster and disgrace. They form a very imperfect idea of the positive forces that now enter into the politics of the Nation who immaginetbat negative tntn or negative id eat, are any longer to control our public aiTairs. Politicians are very prone to try to serve two masters, Ood and and Mammon; but the time is censing wLen (hey will find that politicalJordan, a hard road la travel. The Slave power is positive all the time; positively in favor of Slavery, and positively determined to extend it, Vy fair means or foul; it disregards aP E.D pacts and all compromises that stund in the way of its grasping avarice, and its inordinate ambition. - In times past its friends were wont to apologise for its existence, blaming the mother country for its inlroducliou.andadmitting that it was a curse to both white and black races. Now it is different now they inai ntaio that slavery is the natural and normal condition of the laboring man and vauitingly compare their human chattels with the free laboring population of the North. They maintain that Slavery is in itself right and junt, alike beneficial to the enslavers as well as the enslaved. They proclaim their intention not only to perpetuate it here it now exist, but also to establish it throughout the entire territory which is the properly- of the Union, and to maintain it there ia spite of j Territorial law; aye more they demand j that CnSrtlt thaU a" lvtfor Us frte. ' lion; they demand a slave code "for those tame Territories that had been secured to Free Institutions by the Compromise of 1520, re affirmed ia 1650; aud threaten dis uuion and civil war, unless their demands are complied with; more than that threaten disunion if the voters of the country dare to exetcUe their rights as freemen, and elect a President adverse ti their de mands. They maintain that Slavery is the rule and Freedom the exception; thus reversing the policy of our fathers. In view of these aggresive demands, what is the plain doty of the Republican party ? Undoubtedly to stand firm 1 And it dees si and, firm and strong; it has an active, reliable majority in 15 States of the Confederacy to day, and friends, wherever Freedom has a friend; it is eminently national, eminently conservative; in it are concentrated the hopes of the Republic Its friends make no disunion speeches in Congress; calm in conscious rectitude, they stand firm, while the angry waves of fsc lion surge around them, and the opposite parly belch forth threats of disunion and eivil war. The Republican party maintains the policy of the fathers and founders of the Republic; it inaintaius that Freedom is the rule, and Slavery the exception; we do not propose to interfere with Slavery in the States; on the contrary we are pledged to maintain every constitutional right in violate; but we do projK-e to protect the Territories from its blighting and withering enrse ; this is one of the essentials that we cannot and never will surren der; we arc anxious for Uaion aud harmony, holding out the hand of fellowship to all who choose to unite with us io this high and holy duty. It matters not what , . t.. . a man a aiueecuenis may nave teeu, so that be trill now aland with us in uphold ing the Cuiilitution and the Union, we welcome hub as a brother. REPUBLICAN.

CONGRESSIONAL. XXXVI CONGRESS-FiasrSassio.

. Washisotox, Jan. 16. HOUSE. A point of order raised on Friday by Mr. Leake as to the admissability of Mr. Pennington's plurality resolution and this morning it was psssed over informally. Mr. Underwood indulged the hope that by this debate the peeple of the South bad been aroused to " their position in the Union, and have become fully acquainted with the ends ajd alms of the Republicans. It would be oeithet truthful, profitable nor j q, wii hlD LJ . . . the Republicans otherAbolition party, whom he regarded as utterly unmindful of their constitutional obligations. He gave a brief history of the slavery agitation, not aa a Southern roan, but as a eitisea of the U 8., for the Constitution, which not only defends the preservation of the Southern rights, but thoe of the Union. In the course of his remarks, he said he wanteds united South, and the South to demand nothing they were not entitled to. Divided they were its prey to faction. This is not the lime to form a new party, when the Republicans endanger the TJni on. fco roan at the South is willing to issolve the confederacy, unless their rights are disregarded aud the Constitu tion violated. Letthe cry.be justice and the Constitution. Let there be a union of true men of the South with men of the North for the preservation of thai inetro ment. The Democratic party ia the only hope of the country. Mr. Hill, in explaining, said there were many gentlemen in political life, who. though sow co-operating with Republi cans, do not cordially sympathize with them. A Union party was proposed, based ou attachment to the Government and the enforcement of all laws. Would it be a national misfortune to make such a divis ton of the Republican party ? Mr. Underwood wished to know what evidence he had that any portion of Re publicans would join a new party. Mr. Hill replied that a portion of the gentlemen who were elected on.thePeo pie's ticket had shown their nationality by voting for Mr. Gilmer. He hoped this class of men would unite with the new party and separate themselves from the Kepublican party. Mr. Uuderwood responded by , saying they showed they were sectional men by voting first for Mr. Grow and then for Mr. Sherman many times. He would tell his colleague that at no time, or place, or un der auy circumstances would he trust his constituents in the hands of Thadeus Ste vens, neither would he go into political as sociation with him. Mr. Hill wished to know whether bis colleague would spurn affiliation with Jno. Cochrane on the Buffalo platform. Mr. Underwood replied that Mr. Coch rane who was absent could speak for him self. Hill If he would help you to a demo cratic majority, very well. Mr. Underwood replied; be would not breakdown a constitutional party at the North to make a new party. Mr. Hill, in further explanation said: The new parly was predicated en the good sense of the American people. Mr. Underwood contended that the South were as patriotic as the Pennsylvania member. Why not then were sot the lat ter as good as the former. He eulogised the democratic party, and commented on the conduct of the Southern Opposition No reason bad been given why the 23 gen tlemen did not vote for the democratic nominee. . 31 r. Larrabee, who with others, parlici pated in the incidental debate, asks Mr, timi i .i a . .. . mil wneiner tne latter entertained pro'cr'PtVB PnCipleS against foreign-bom 1 citizens, or any or certain religious opin ! Mr' HiU rePlieJ. lh-l te hi uotehang ed "BÜmeDt iure 1844; bad ever "ought that intelligence being equal, h , would alwas vote for a native in prefer ence to a man born ou foreign soil. Ap plause. . Mr. Larrabee says, the gentlemen are as wide as the poles apart. Mr. Hill Because our constituencies are. " Mr- Larrabee replied, thhough he repre ! seated the largest naturalized eonttituency i anJ ruan in the House, he would vote for a Sauth American in preference to a Re publican. Mr. Underwood, wished to know how many Southern Oppositionists would vote for North, Western or Southern Democrat Mr: Stokes replied, he had already said that in the contingency between a Bepub lican and Democrat, he would vote for a sound conservative Democrat. He wool not vote for a man who is iu favor of Judge Douglas, with his Squatter Sover eignty princiles, for the Presidency. Mr. Hatton wanted to know if Mr. Un derwood. with his western democratic friends were willing te vote for the protec tion of slavery in the Territories, in the form of a MaloteY Mr. Underwood did notdoubt they were, far the reason that the Presideut said so, and Ibe I orthern democracy had never failed to give the people South all the rights are entitled to under the constitu tion. Applause. Mr. Ii slum wanted further to know whether they would support a man who believed th&t the people in a territorial ca pacity would have the right to legislate on the subject of alavery, which he regarded as a fallacy. Mr. Underwuod thought he would see that the tendency of such questions was to divide and distract the Democratic party, which only could hurl back the wave of fanaticism. He wanted the South to see that tho Southern oppositionists were throwing firebrands into tKt Democratic party. Iq'coucIusiod, he said he would staud or fall by what Georgia should indicate. He cccupied tho floor four hours. Mr. Morris replied loa portion of Mr. Underwood's . remarks, and brought the President up to his record ou the territori 1 slavery quesliou, on which he arraigned him the othei day. He repeated that tho President has abandoned his Ofigiual po sition, and made a bid for the Southern vote io the Charleston Convention. ' Adjourned . SENATE. Various petitions were pre sented. Mr. Douglas offered a resolution that the Judiciary be instructed to report a bill for the protection of all the States and Territories against invasion by the inhabitant of any other State or Territory ; also, for the suppression and punishment of con i pi rators and combinations in any Slat or Territory, wilb ihe intent to assail or nol est the government, inhabitants, proper ty or institutions of any other Stale. i Mr. Sumner presented a petition in favor of cheap postage; he also offered a raeolu tion instructing the committee on Post Offices and Post Roads to enquire whether 1

the present rates of ocean postage are not

exorbitant. Mr. Howell offered a resolution - authoris ing the present Directors of the Portland Canal Co. to construct a canal between the present terminus of the said canal and a certain point oa the Ohio river. Referred. Mr. Hale presented a petition in favor of the Homestead bill. Mr. Green presented the memorial of the Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis, pray ing for the establishment of a branch mint at St. Louis. Washington, Jan. 17. HOUSE. There being a slim attend- j ance there was a call of the Uonse. Mr. . Pennington withdrew his resolution pro- , posing the adoption of the plurality rule. ! He did 6o he said to avoid confusion Mr.Hutchins, successor of Mr. Oiddings, concurred with his political friends that discussion anterior to organization was out of place. It baa been conducted in exceed ingly bad taste, to use uo harsher terra. The Republican party, with which he was proud to act, and the people of the free States, had been grossly misrepresented ; their motives and patriotism were rudely impeached and their citizens denounced as I ' . , i wormy ot tne ganows lor irana.y expressing their constitutioaal rights on the sub ject of alavery. A resolution bad been in troduced here saying that persons who did ! a certain thing were unfit to be Speaker. . lhere were a great many men unm to ue , Speaker. His opinion w. that ,any man ' who pursues the pro -slavery policy is uo fit to be Spealcer, and so is any man who believes right the re-opening of the African slave trade, or who opposes the admission of Kansas into the Union under her recent1 sw ai s s"k S Aa a nAft-aSkvS I Iy adopted Constitution.

Mr. Winslow explained they would resist a vote on the plurality rule until a Tote be taken on the resolution of Mr. Clark. Mr. Hickman understood that this would be resisted by dilatory motions, and said the Northern Democrats had joined the Southern Democrats in the determination not to allow the plurality rule to be voted on under any circumstances ; the point is therefore reached where the minority is rere solved to disregard the will of the majority and prevent them from manifesting their wishes. The Southern party with some w r. , mi i . ., Northern Democrats will never let the Mouse be organized. Mr! Barr said the Northern Democrats ... .. . will speak for themselves: the eentleraan might however speak for those who ran away i rom tne democracy lor a rcesa ol pottage. Mr. Hickman They will get stronger gruel on this side of the House. Northern men are controlled by Sonthern men to prevent the adoption of any rule. Mr. Barr repeated that the Southern gen tleman had not controlled any Northern man. He should not place him in a false condit Mr. Hickman said, be could prove that Northern men are thus controlled, and should never favor soother ballet for Spea ker until he waa satisfied a change had taken place in the minds of the gentlemen on all sides, or until the plurality rule, or some other analagous one should be adopt-

e(L FROM WASHINGTON. f. r-Pl-.. I . i sr tr i . WASHlXGTOX.Jan. 16tb. Mr. MeCIernand said Mr. Hickman a in-: solenco was unbearable. By what author- ; Th following a synopsis of Mr. Bigity did the gentleman from Pa. speak as lie er 8 : did? He was not one of the democracy,! The first section provides that whenever although he pretended to be. This pre- ! s,al or T'r"trJ invaded or iu intension waa unfounded. He . was not a' "Mut danger of invasion from external or

Democrat, but a renegade traitor to the democratic party. Applause on the democratic side. We disown and repudiate him. The gentleman from Pa, imputed what wss false, when he said Northern men are cenlrolled by Southern . men. This charge eould emanate only from a man who has been, and is the slave instrument of others. Mr. Hickman has boxed all points of the political compass. He first denounced Gen. Jackson. Mr. Hickman asked Mr. MeCIernand to give way a minlue. Mr. MeCIernand Strongly, not a word. A voice Go ta the Republican side, where you belong. Mr. MeCIernand further spoke of Mr. Hickman's alleged political inconsistency, and said the latter was a follower, of Seward and a subtle instrument in the hands of the Republican party. He had betrayed all parties and principles, and now undertook lo exercise a censorship over the democracy. He stated his objections to j Mr. Sherman; but said Mr. Sherman Was Infinitely Drcferable to Mr. Hickman. ! Applause. J The Clerk requested the gentlemen to keep order, and not encourage applause in the galleries. Mr. Pryor began lo reply to Mr. Hick man, remarkiug what the latter had stated was what he knew to be false. Sensa Hon. Mr. Millson called his colleague to or der, stating that his colleague could be se vere without being unparliamentary. Mr. Pryor said that he knew enly the plain Auglo-Saxon tongue, and that Mr. Hickman's statements were false. Mr. Hickman replied tkat such language was no reply to his arguments. , Adjourned. SENATE.

The testimony during the forenoon was mainly relating tothe construction of the building,' but nothing new waa elicited? Three more bodies were taken from the ruins to day. They were all badly multa ted, two of them so bad that they eould not be recognized. The third was discov ered by fragments of clothing to be that of Mrs. Augusta Ann Asbworth. She was 8 years of age, and was married in March ast; her husband is a shoemaker, and works at North Salem. Her body was nearly cousumed. The body taken out last night has been identified as that of Mrs. Margaret Turner. Stephen Wallace, a mason who worked on the mill, confirmed the story about water running through the foundation of the mill; thought it true the foundation might be undermined by water; thourht the walls too thin.

Mr. Coolidge thought it was intended ia the original plan that pilasters should he carried up three stories; don't know why the plan was altered ; considered projections on which the timbers rested in the upper stories strong enough and safe enough, if the floors fell in no walls could resist them, had they been three feet thick ; the work was done in a most thorough manner; the walls were banded between the window caps and sills; my opinion ia

Old Senators say there has cot been so stormy an executive session since the rsv jection of Mr. Van Buren, and Ibe attempt. ed rejection of Edward Everett.
