CORRESPONDENCE.

[Correspondence of tbe Reveille. JLETEB FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, Jan. 25, 1854.

Messrs. Editors: —Thinking an item or two from “’head quartets' 1 might be of interest to your readers, I have thrown together some detached scraps, which are at vour service.

■■ Washington City at this time is a gay. fashionable and corrupt place, all kinds of intrigue and speculations are going on about politics and money, the former working for the •‘succession. ’* and tbe latter, to get a hand into the big moneybag of the Treasury, so report goes; at any, rate, many important measures arc. and will be, before Congress, looking to appropriations -of land and money front | the national domain and Treasury. What; will be the result of them time alone will i determine. One thing is certain, the country may rely securely upon the unflinching integrity of President Pierce, who will be satislicd beyond a donbt of the constitutionality of ait acts passed by Congress, and if found ovctleeping the “strict construction 1 * of the constitution, he will, Jackson like, lake the.responsibility of putting his veto on all such, TJ;e “Nebraska Territory Bill,” reported to the Senate by the ‘Little Giant’ from Illinois, has created quite a fluttering among those ‘Free Soilers” who pretended to be satisfisd with the Compromise measures of 1650, and is destined to be the bone over which many long,speeches will be-made before it is disposed of, it (the hill) proposes to extend the Compromise measures ol 1559 including the “Fugitive Slave Law" over that and all the Territories of the ; U. S., and also, leave to the people of those Territories, when forming their Stale Constitutions, 1 and applying fur admission into the union, to decide whether there shall be slavery in those States or not. The subject, of course, meets open opposition from all the Abolitionists, as well as their j Journals throughout the country, who 1 have ever opposed the “Fugitive Slave Law,” and is destined, to meet opposition from oilier sources, as an amendment offered by Mr. Dixon, of Ky., proposes to repeal the features of the “Missouri Comi promise,” whilst another amendment offered by Mr. Sumner, of Mass'., .contend plates applying the "Missouri Compromise” to the Nebraska, bill—thus, the whole slavery question will be (aid open fur discussion again. When will Coif grets get done legislating for,negroee, and go to work fur white people? lam inclined In the belief lint the bill will be passed, including the'amendment of Mr. Dixon, of Ky., as 1 understand General Cuss, Senators Douglass and Bright, am) : oilier prominent memheis of the Senate lavor it.

A majority of the members of the present House of Representatives are new members, but rank high in intellectuality and industry. And our own beloved In* dlana is well represented both in the Senate and House.

.In the Senate, while there are those whose early advantages were greater, and are consequently endowed with superior intellectual powers, none rank higher fur prompt, energetic and influential business qualities than the Hon. Jesse D. Bright, possessing the confidence of the entire Senate, by his urbane and frank manners, and fully acquainted with the routine of business as u parliamentarian, he seldom fails in carrying his point before the Senate. While his colleague, Mr. Pettit, has made a very successful debut, and as a member of the Judiciary Committee, commands the attention of the Senate on sufh questions as he attempts to discuss. If Mr, Pettit’s moral qualifications were equal to hts intellectual, ho would tindoubled!)- be a strong matt.

In the House. Mr. Dunham is decidedly the leading mind from Indiana, and from his long experience in Congress, has great adramages over the younger mem’ bers of that body; he. is emphatically a working man—indeed, no member of the present House has a belter reputation for ability and industry than ho. And hero! would remark,' that if those persons who are in favor ol “rotation” m office, could only be here and aee how infinitely superior an old member is fur efficiency, the doctrine of rotation, at; least fur Representatives in Congress, would not be so zealously advneeted upon all occasions. Col. Benton made some convincing remarks on this subject in the House, when (peaking of Vice-President King, and lauded the good judgment of a constituency who returned their able and faithful public ieri?ant s,/or a series of years , to the' councils of the Nation. Without drawing any invideoua distinctions, I may be allowed to say, that the entire delegation from Indiana are an honor to the good venae of the people, and it is gratifying to an Indianian to see the respect shown to the delegation from that Gute.. For instance, Hon. Wm. 11. English, who is anew memberaqd probably ae young a roan as any in the House, has been appointed one pf the Regenls of

the “Smithsonian Institute,” an honor seldom conferred on so young a man, and ao new a member. Judge Chamberlain and Doctor Eddy, from the north part of the Stale, are both excellent members, and watch the interest, not only of their immediate constituency, but of the whole State, with eagle eyes; the Judge particularly, will, if 1 mistake not, make his mark in Congress yet. Mr. Hendricks, j Mr. Mace and Mr. Davis, are assiduous in their attention to the business before Congress, and will be found right- upon all the great questions coming before them; whilst the “Lone Star of WhigIgery” from Indiana, lion. S. W. Parker, |is not inferior to any in point of intellect: ibut, alas! what avails, it, except when exerted in favor of those subjects which are in no way connected with party politics. Humors arc again afloat that Mr. Guthrie will leave the Cabinet sunn, and that Breckenridgc, of Ivy,, will be offered the place. It is intimated that the cause of his resignation is the implied censure upon his course in the Bronson affair by a re-cent-vote in the Iluuse. How trga this is 1 know not, but it will be no cany matter to get as strict and faithful a guardian of the National Treasury as Mr. Guthrie.

. Some disappointment, it is said, is felt in certain quarters, because Mr. Davis. Secretary of War,-was not elected U. S. from Mississippi, qs he would have accepted the post, and a new man would' have been called to preside over the department of Waq Rumor says Mr. Davis himself is much disappointed, at' the result, and that he confidently expected :o be returned to the Senato. , '

1 find Indiana is well represented in the various Departments'of the Government, as well as in Congress,. Mr. F. Bigger, of Rush county, the Register of the Treasury, and Chas. T. Jones, of your county. Ins chief clerk, are both excellent officers, and by their gentlemanly deportment and strict official business, qualifications have gained for themselves a prominent position among the Govern* ment By the way, it may not be inappropriate to notice here, that when Mr. Jones was appointed chief clerk, in place of a Mr. Noursej who had held the office for upwards of thirty it was prophesied that it would be a failure; but lie soon showed those who doubled his capacity, that he knowed “beans' when the bag was open," at least, and now it is admitted by all, that tic is by far more competent than the “old foggy" who held the place so tong, as to become inert, '

Tbe dreadful accident 10 llie steamship San Francisco, bound from New York lo California, by which about SOU lives were lost, mostly officers and soldiers of die (J. S. A., which was occasioned by a terrible gale of wind on Christmas Eve, ius spread a deep gloom over this city, and in fact over the whole country,'and Congress has been busily engaged for a day or two past, in making suitable awards to the captains and crews of the three ships who at' the peri) of their own vessels ami lives gallantly rescued five or six hundred souls from the lie)pics s and sinking wreck, before she finally foundered. The action of Congress in this matter has been no less prompt than liberal and will be commensurate with the occasion which called it forth, and the widow and orphan of the lost soldiers, will be amply provided for. whilst the survivors, who lost everything except their lives,'will be fully reemburseu ns far as money can do so. Of the dead, it can be said that many of them after periling their lives on many a hotly contested field of battle from which they escaped unhurt, have met their last foe in a form and manner altogether overwhelming, rendering defence wholly out of their power.

Out I fear 1 am trespassing upon your patience. -So 1 wilt bring my already extended remarks to a dose, until some •‘more.convenient season.” Uio.v,
