I [Correspondence of the Reveille. i tETTEU PEOM WASHiR'CXOJf. i ; —: ! Washington, Feb. 28, 1834. I Messrs. Edilors: —The anniversary ! of Washington's Birthday wia celebrated ■here by a general turn out of the military * companies, upon which occasion the numjber was augmented by‘ a visit Irom the (“Washington Greys" of Philadelphia, a 'targe and finely disciplined company.— \ After marching through the principal avjenues, they proceeded to the Presidential Mansion, where they were cordially welcomed by General Pierce, ‘who complimented them for the high.state of discipline which they had attained. Dne large company, called the ••Cominimtals,’’ and dressed in the style of the times of the revolutionary War was particularly attractive, probably from the style of the uniform ami its appropriateness to the occasion. Some of the companies concluded the affairs,of the day by target firing, on which occasion tome fine shots were made. • .

The late European news, although of a character that was anticipated, produces great sensation here, and the prospects of a general war in Europe is greatly*increased; m fact, that 'impression seems vciy general among the Representatives of the foreign government resident here, if it should really occur, the consequences must be terrible; with all die modern improvements in the distruciive art of war. what an immense slaughter of human beings must be the result of hostilities between four or five, and probably more, of the great powers of Europe!— It is indeed n dreadful alternative, when nations must. resort to arms to decide questions which should alone be decided by diplomacy, and-if that fail, by arbitration.

There is one feature in the late news from England, which has touched even the stoicism of some of the members'of the Senate; it seems that the Prime Minister of England, qn the opening of Parliament, made allusion to the alliance between Fra nee and England, and remarked that it was not designed to relate id the Extern question alone, but was to extend to the West and over both hemispheres, which is deciphered by some of our politicians to relate to the European scheme fur africanizing the Inland of Cuba and of interfering in the progression of this country, and another circumstance which occurred at the opening of the English Parliament and which has excited the indignation n[ nur American pride, is the refusal to admit to witness the ceremonies of the opening of Parliament, Mr. Buchanan, the American minister, at the Court of St. James, because he was not arrayed i in Court costume; or in other words, because he .was not dressed up after the fashion of the European Lords and Dukes with lon* robes tit turned with gold.lace nnd attended by tervants in' livery and all the other trappings and prefixes of royalty. This indignity has roused considerable feeling iu this city, and if it should result in the withdrawal of Mr. Buchanan Irum the English Cmnt, as is rumored, it may result in a suspension of live good understanding between the two countries. At ** { -all events the subject is noticed very generally by the American and English press, and is condemned by all the former and hy sump of die latter in very emphatic terms. Things of less consequence khan 'this Las in limes long since gone by caused war between nations; it is to be hoped, however,lhat it will lead to no such cunsequences between us and England, On yesterday, the Senate passed a bill to increase the ?yavy by the construction □f six first class steam Frigates. The want of an efficient steam naval force lias long been felt by our naval officers, and this increase is demanded, more especially by the threatenings of a war in Europe, to protect our extensive commerce which floats on every sea, . A rumor is current here that some Russian rgenle are secretly reenntirg American seamen in New York to serve on board American ships, which will bo fined out as Privateprs under the Russian (lag, and to act against the commerce of Eng-, land. The rumor, although based upon the assertions of the "Courier dcs Etats Unis** a reliable French paper published in New York, is not credited in well infouned circles, as such a scheme could hardly be canted on without coming to the knowledge of the government in this city, and good reasons e|ist for saying that they have not received the slightest intimation of the fact from any authorized agent; should any attempt of the kind be made, it will be promptly attended to by the government and every effort made to arrest it at once, as our duty isapjain one—namely, a strict neutrality. Gen. Robert Armstrong, one of the edr itors and proprietors of the fPathinglon Union newspaper, died on Thursday night last. He was a gallant and meritorious officer during the last war with England and also during the Creek war. In the last named war be commanded a company at the battle of Enotochopho Creek, in which by his bold and daring manner ho animated his men by his example, so as to check a formidable attack of

the Indiana, and according to Gen. Jackson's testimony, sa.ved the army, which

had been thrown into confusion. ,In this conflict he was wounded by a ball, in his side and felt, and was reported mortally wounded. He however recovered, but the ball could not be extracted, and the wound it inflicted was feltattimes very severely even to the end,of life. He was the bosom friend of Gen. Jackson, and became a member of hts military family and served as his aid at the battle of New Orleans; lie was also in active service in the Seminole War in 183(3, and commanded the Mounted Volunteers from Tennessee, at the battle of Wdhoo Swamp, which lasted several days, and ended in the complete rout of the Indians. Gen. Jackson bequeathed him his sword in token of his confidence and friendship. He Was appointed consul to Liverpool by Mr. Polk, and on the breaking out of the Mexican war, he returned immediately home with a view of taking an active pan in that contest, but from some cause did not do so and.resumed his duties at Liverpool, lie was highly esteemed as a' gentleman and friend by a) I who knew hi in, and has left a- family and large circle of acquain-, ranees and,relatives to mourn his loss. ,

The reception at the President’s on Friday night last was a must brilliant affair end was attended by .many distinguished gentlemen of our own ami foreign countries, among -whom was conspicuous for (heir attractive qualities, Col. Benton, Gen. Houston and Senator Dyu? glass, alt three being magnets of great attraction at any lime. The former though well advanced in years, is a remarkably line, hearty looking man. Gen. Houston or “Old Sam” as he is familiarly railed, is tlic finest specimen of a may I have ever seen; he is about six feet three inches in height and built from (be, “ground up” in good propositions nml straight os a “shingle” .with a finely developed bead. Senator Douglas is a mere pigma in size, compared with the others, but he is ah acknowledged “giant” in intellect. Senator Bright has. been very ill for some time past; he is, however, 1 am pleased to learn, rapidly recovering, and will be able In a jew days to resume his seat in the Senate, ..

The HcvV Eliznr'Williams, the reputed •*Bourbon," hits been sojourning here for two or three weeks'past, and preaching upon the subject of his missionary labors among the Indians, and collecting means in aid of his labors in that held. He has created a" great furor here ami ' is one .of the ’‘Dions" of the dav.

The venerable George Washington' Park Curl is. grand son of Gen. Washington's wife, attended the meeting of the U. S. Agricultural Society on Friday last, and gave some interesting facts connected with the progress of modern farming.— lie compared the products of his farm nnw, with what it was foily years ago, when with one hundred hands on it, they only served to starve him. Now from 0 to It),COO bushels of wheat were produced annually by the same force, with a prospect of increasing it to 15,000 bushels. I perceive fiom the las: number nf ynur paper that Mr. A. S. Kingsley takes exception to some remarks contained in n former communication of mine, and whilst I regret to gee the coarse and ungentlemanly language he thinks necessary to use to refute my remarks—as they arc wholly uncalled for, and so Dr as Tam concerned, gratuitous—l shall at an early day subslsniiaie iho remarks I made, and iq which he takes exception, without condescending to use the very kind of language which he condemns Senator Douglas for using. “Uh consistency thou art a jewel!” . Dion.

Romanism in Ireland,—A recent -of number of the Dublin Aation, in a long editorial article, makes the following re* markable admissions:

The Irish nation is fast dissolving, as the Jewish nation dissolved before the curse of Hod, a; the Canliagcnian nation dissolved before the sword uf Rome, as the red Indian race silently dissolved before the lace of the white man. Ireland is ceasing to be a Roman Catholic nation. Priest Fitzgerald, in a recent speech admits, "Our nation and Church are perishing.*’ An organ .of Romanism Fays’— ••Shall the supers and tract distributors accomplish the work which all the force uf England lor three hundred years has been unable to effect I 1 ’

Do not - show.Anything peculiar to the whisky of this comity. The liquor in dciTerson seems iq be as tile u compound of crime-producing qualities, that ol Old Switzerland. The following tcslimo ny was recently recorded against it: •’Kesolvbil, That it is the opinion o* the Grand Jury of Jefferson Co., Ind, that nine tenths of-the crimes brought under no l ice for tmr i lives ligation, were directly nr indirectly'caused by-the use of intoxicating liquors," Passed Dec. 3311 i. 1833 So then their Grand Jury and our commit tee agree in testifying to ' the almost universal connexion between inlcmpfrancj and crime. ,

But lot us pass on to Claike county. There, in 1832, we might.have found 217 persons .in at large stone edifice, which erected by- thesiate for the accomftindatiohs of those,, who‘can better serve

their country tn it than out of it. .Of

these convicts 59 were temperate and 158 intemperate. . V Now it is commonly estimated that (hero are 200,000, drunkaids in the United States; :

This would give aboul one drunkard in every H)0 of qur pobulation. Some affect to think (his . toojarge an estimate, hula little observation will convince litem that it is not. If .Vevay is to be taken as itie standard of measure, it certainly falls far below 'truth. For it was publicly stated, not long since by the statistician of that place, that tliirty of its citizens indulged tbeir fondness Tor wnisky .and brandy to such a degree that they might fairly be classed among the intemperate. Multiply 30 by 13, and we have 300 drunkards as the quota for this county. It is to .be ; hoped, however, _t hat .the County. seat is not a feir index to the whole county, though it is io be feared dial some small parts of it can show a larger proportion of ,intemperance than Yevay. WewillUke | the ratio, then,'of one drunkard to ICO of I population, which' would give Switzer* [land ISO drunkards. instead of so3,;which |we .would have by the other standard. | Now if Vevay cam furnish thirty pf them l who doubts but Craig, Colton, Pleasant, | Posey amt York can furnish the remain* derf So then we will reckon that the [ratio of one drunkard to eve'ry 100 of pop[ulaijon is at least not too large. If we count the population of our state at 1,000, 000, we find it in possession of 10,030 I drunkards. Divide 1,000.000, by '5 and Iwe wilt have 200,000, as the probable number of legal voters. Subtracting 10000, from 200,000 we have 100.000 temperate voters. At this rale there are 10 limes as many temperate as intemperate ■ persons, who have the right to cast their tickets into the ballot box.

Now let us look at the rales of their represenimion in the targe stone edifice ai Jeffersonville. Temperate 59 and intemperate 198. But since the temperate portion of votes is 19 limes ns large as the intemperate, it should have 10 times as many convicts in order to be proportionally represented. That is, it should have 3002 instead of SO—fifty to where it .has one.

Truly the temperance voters hare been very defectively represented in the stateprison as well as the state Legislature! They arc willing however to bav© their representatives at Jeffersonville* diminished but bound to have them largely increased at Indianapolis. But suppose we change (he ratio and take thatstandard of measure which would

Sknate.~Tliv Senate debited ihe Nebraska bill yestejd ty unlit 0 o'clock, P, ,M. Various am end menu were offered and discusssd. 31 1. Chase's. amendment to the I4itt section, inserting the words, "that the legislature of a territory shall not be precluded from prohibiting slavery therein," was rejected; yeas 10, 3l. Mr. Badger's amendment was adi'ptt-d; yeas 30. ttaysO. -Mr. Giiase rdTmd an amendment, making the Governor, b'fcretaty and Judges elected by tlie people of the territory; rejected—yeas 10, nays 30. ■

Mr.Chase offered an am end.q rntj, pulling Nebraska and Kansas in one territory and under one government, and argued the absence of any necessity fur two ter* ritorits. r

. Mr, Mason said he fully endorsed all that was said by Mr, Brdger—nhat it was the duty, of every friend of the bill in vote down this anti alt other amendments offered by,the Senator'from Ohio.

Me,' Chase said he had offered his ameiulnients because they were in his opinion right, He knew no rule uf propriety or consiimiienal right by which a Senator representing Ohio, the iltird.Staie of ihi Union, and truly representing the seniitpent uf that Stale, was to be denied the privilege.uf offering amendments to this or any other bill,' nr why Vno amendments offered by the Senator from Ohio were to be rejected because he offered them,;. 1 \Yhe'n: once the’Senator had 'resol vet) bn the principle of non-inlerTcntion he had offered the amendments, not against it, but to carry ft to its fullest extent. ' Mr.V Mason responded, denying that any amendment offered by the Senator was'intended to carry out the principles of non intervention. llis sole object w a? to defeat the bill. He bad, he said, read u( a warrior who carried a huge shield coveted with seven bull hides, and closely studded with brass. The Senator from Ohio mnsl suppose himself covered with such a shield from the just condemnation of the country. —This was the last struggle ul that party of which the Senator was an illustration; if this bill was passed their vocation would be gone, their last plank in the shipwreck taken from them, and they would die as they deserved to die, howling, howling like fiends because they bad not been able to destroy the country which proposed this measure; they had never originated arty measure upon the subject of slavery; though this bill contained much of injustice to the South, lie was still willing to take it as a small advance towards justice, and as an evidence of peace, Mr. Wade said he bad listened as long as he could quietly, w the unjust and unbecoming aspersions east upon the Sena* tor, who, with him, truly represented the sentiments of the great Slaie of Ohio, and he wondered at the calmness with which his colleague had borne the taunts, and imputations thrown upon him personalty, and upon his motives and conduct. Such conduct could no longer be put up with. Ohio was not inferior, he said, to any. Slate—her Senators were not to be brow beaten by any peisoo, and were not to be frightened out of (heir right to' offer

imeudipenta to any bill pending in the Senate of the United Sutei.

'J'ite langtuge used, towards his cot* league was unbecoming the Senate—it might be very suitable to the plantation, but was not .to the Senate of the United States. .

Ohio would dispose of the reward sod furnish tier own representatives, ami she recognised ho master in old Virginia over her Senator or people. Ohio would vote fot the Ssnitor. They would send his colleague back to the Senate-fur six vears longer, if he maintained the Alissouri Compromise; it was constuihmal- The very men who so strongly advocated its repeal because it was unconstitutional, and over and oyer again voted for the extension to the Pacific. To deny its constitutionality was to leave ibeir oWn conduct open to presumption, which it would not be parliamentary to name. The constitutionality ol the Wilmot Proviso wsa but linlo over six years old. At the North it Ind its commencement .at a time .when the Senator v from Michigan found it necessary to strip himself pf all burdensome habiliments in the great Presidential race.

i The Declaration of Independence, had been assailed by the supporters'of the bill —riini only tlm aejs of -the father of Jits country’’ had. been declared (inruiiv.itV tiunal, but what they declared to he self* evident truths, hid been declared s.-lf-evi-deo tlies. It was necessary to declaro the Declaration of Independence a he or this bill could hoi be supported. An amendment whs then adopted striking out (he provision allowing ahens to become citizens, ; The suhtumie was offered by tMr. Douglas for the original snmo tirpe' since,' and .was then .agreed to cs amended, and the bill was reported to the Senate.

Wade,.’Chsec, Reward. Sumner and die aJvnraies nf .tlie bill. Mr, Chase, .characterized the bill as a bid for the Presidency on the part* of its author. . Mr. .Douglass replied in reference to Mr. Chise. and said that ho fDutigla?,) has never held any office, nor ilid tie gel lo the Senate by corrupt bar* gains—lie had never got to the Senate by putting his principles, character and honor up at public suction Tor • votes—ho owed hU place to no corrupt bargains or coaliulon. , , •Mr. Wel|er—Hut others do. Mr. Chase—Do you- say I come here by corrupt bargain! ’ .. . Mr. Douglas—l object lo si! inierfvr* ance in his matter.

Mr. Chase—Do you say. 1 came hero by a corrupt bargain! ; Mr, Douglas—l said the- man who charged me with having brought .in this bill as a bid for the Presidency, did come here by corrupt bargain. Did you mean me! If so, I mean yon, Mr.* Chase—l say to the Senator that if he says 1 came here by corrupt bargain, hesays that which is false. Mr. tiouglasT-lt will not do in retract the charge of falsification. Having made false statements with respect to me «r4 my .motives. I have given him two opportunities in withdraw it, and he has not had the manliness lo do it, .

Mr. Chase explained, and said he did not consider the ambition to be President ap unworthy one. and reference was not mad? in any offensive sense towards the Senator.

Mr. Weller defended Mr* Chase frotp the charge of corruption* Mr. Chase said he was party to no ar* rangement, and none existed. Thera were threo parties in the Legislature— * Wings, Freesnilers and old line Dembi cuts, and he received the votes of alt the old tine Democrats and Democratic Free-i soilers, he received no Whig votes. Mr. Sumner sharply replied to Doug. Us’ imputations of having got to the Senate by unworthy means, and said the Sens ator slated that which he could not sub* lain by facts, ami said he never sought of* fice, now, or in any way. nor was he a party, directly or indirectly to the effort which pot him in Ins position. Mr. Douglas replied and said the gen* tleraen says be had nothing to dp wity

give our county 390 drunkards, instead of ISO or an average of 05, instead of 20 to each township.

Doubtless it would be difficult to get that many to confers themselves among the intemperate. But we lake this increased ratio and apply it to the whole slate so as (o reduce the difference at Jeffersonville. Tiie case will stand thus.—lnstead of only 59. the temperance voters should have 842 of their number working in the penitentiary, rather than upon their farms and in their shops, thraughotil all parts of fie state. Or fourteen where they have OJICi

But suppose we change the ratio again and say lint every other voter (which Iby no means believe} may be fairly classed among the intemperate. Ev'en then the temperate portion of (lie cnmmuuity is very inadequately represented at the, criminal's capitol. For it should have 159 to where it has 59, or nearly three to where it has one.- In the face of such, facts, wlio can say that crime is nut the offspring nl inanpeiance? And who can defy us the tight to enact and enforce ‘such lb tvs as ; will comparatively empty our Jails and Slate Prisons and bring - happiness and. virtue to maiiy sad hearts and wretched homes! Surely. no t.ntelllgeai lover of his country or hi* God can do it. , • Ctixtox.
