From Washington-the Compromise Bill
Dead.
From the abstract of Congressional
nroeeeding-, which we eive, the fate of
the Compromise wi'J be learned. Con
gress has been in session over eight
months, and little else than the ques
tions embraced in this bill, hare re
ceived consideration. The defeat of
this bill leaves these questions still un
settled. Those who assume to speak for Ohio,
have again and again reiterated their
opposition to this measure of the thir
teen, In the name ol "the great mass
of the people of Ohio." . If this is the
. .vn..;nn rt.a nninion of,.
people, (and we are not prepared to ay
that it is not,) the defeat of the measure
will rather be a matter of rejoicing than
regret. We believe that no northern
Whig would ever agree to a bill which,
either openly or by way of compromise,
acknowledged the claims of Texas to
any portion of N.Mexico. The Whigs,
at the commencement of the Mexican
war. took their position and vindicated
its truth. It wou'd have been a base
abandonment to have tacitly assented to
this Texan title now.
The several questions must now come
op seperately. We can see but little
probability that they will receive any
final action the present session. There
is a strong desire to adjourn, and should
the cholera make its appearance over
the mountains, as report says it already
has, an adjournment will most probably
take place, and nothing will have been
accomplished. ' The hotspurs ' both
North and South will go home satisfied,
but the great mass of the people, both
North and South, will entertain entirely
different opinions they desire a settle
ment upon terms alike honorable and
iiinl.

1 The censns of Massachusetts,
which has just been taken, show the
total population of that State to be
973,715. The census was taken by
the State for the purpose of appor
tioning representatives. Each town
(or township) containing 1560 In
habitants sends one representative
every year, and one additional re
presentative forvery 3120. - If any
town contains less than 1560, it sends
a certain number of years in ten. -The
number of towns in the State
is 321. The next House of Repre
sentatives will contain 43S members,
if there are no failures to elect. It
may well be called the popular branch
of the Government.
Simeon Nash, Esq., has our thanks
for a copy of the reports of the ma
jority and minority ot the currency
committee of the Constitutional Con
vention. The progressive democracy
have presented the question of hsrd
money in the majority report, and in
their 4th of Jily convention resolu
tions, in so unequivocal a shape that
it must be sgain met and decided up
on by the people of Ohio at the com
ing election. We shall make use of
this report and those resolutions,
with no other desire than that the is
sue forced upon the people may be
fully understood and intelligently
decided.
The Cabinet.
It is reported that Mr. Bates, of
Mo, declines the cabinet appoint
ment, preferring, so says the tele
graph, the chances of being elected
to the U. S. Senate from that State.
Jf this is true, it leaves two vacan
cies. Gov. Jones, of Tenn., and Mr.
Conrad, of La., among olheis,' are
mentioned as likely to receive the
appointments. 1

The commencement exercises of
Marietta College we find in tho In
telligencer. The oration before the
Alumni was delivered by Charles
Goddard of Marietta. It is men
tioned as the production of a scho
lar. The subject was, "The Fine
arts." The Literary Societies were
addressed by Prof. Kendrick. His
subject was "Modern Skepticism."
Of the exercises of. the graduating
class, the Intelligencer says:
The selection of subjects was judi
cious. J he amount of new ideas on
themes of interest amply compensa
ted the audience for giving up their
time to listen to them.
DO3 What is the occasion of the
backwardness of the mail from Chil-
licothe? It is frequently three or four
hours behind the time of its usual ar
rival at this season of the year.
Besides obliging our citizens to wait
till the next morning for their mail

we hope to see it corrected.
Cholera.
Columbcs. The Statesman of the
3d, says: "The cholera reported to
day is larger double the worst day
last yeai. This afternoon things
look better and we think the next
21 hours will greatly diminish the
number of deaths."
We are indebted to Mr. Stevens,
of the Telegraph office, lor the fol
lowing:
Circletille. 12 deaths by cho
lera fn all. There were six deaths
between the hours of 3 and 12 P. M.,
yesterday. In Chillicothe from 12
to 16 have died mostly blacks.

thinks he can retire now without
censure. Lieut Gov. Helm becomes
Governor for the remainder of the

It seems that some time during the night
an insane fellow had gone to the engine
made a fire, took in water, greased the
machinery, and then set off on an ex
cursion of his own down tho road. He
passed all the stations at a flying pace,
and did not stop until -he had reached
Trenton, where he said that he only
wanted to see how fast he could make
the thing go. That he escaped destruc

Fortunate Escape. The Vermont
State Journal gives the following ac
count of a narrow escape from loss of
life upon the Vermont Central Railroad,
during the recent freshet: . . . .
The lives of two carloads of passen
gers on the Central road escaped most
imminent danger. The train ran safe
ly over a bridge between Bethel and
Randolph, wheie one of the abutments
had settled, leaving one end of. the
bridge sustained only by the superstruc
ture of the track! Ere the last car bad
passed, the bridge had settled . about
four feet; but the cars were strong the
connecting bars held and the engine
literally snatched the train from the
jaws of death. ' : .

;:'This remarkable storm, so far as
we have heard from it, seems to
have swept with moie or less vio-i
lence over the whole range of coun
try y lying I between the . Allegany
Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean,
and to have covered all New York
and New England. It has been a
storm to remember, for few can re
member its equal in extent, and in
the damage effected. Its violence
was felt most sensibly in the

acceptance of tho War Department

A gentleman just from Louisiana,
a resident of that State, who is in a
position to acquire an extensive
knowledge of its political sentiment,
represents it as being unanimously
conservative, liberal, and loyal to the
Union, under any and all circum
stances. He represents the popular
ity of Mr. Webster among men of
all parties, as unbounded, lie thinks
that no public man, who is even
tinged with ultraism, can stand in
Louisiana now.
July 29.
The indications in the Senate to
day can scarcely be considered as
favorable to the Compromise. The
succession to the Presidency, the fu
ture course of the Democratic party,
the success of the present adminis
tration, and the perplexitiei and
complexities which surround the set
tlement of the Texan boundary ques
tion, all are secretly at work, and all
are mixed up in the conglomerate
mass of difficulties which surround
this subject. Two indications in the
proceedings to-day are note worthy.
One is in the course of Mr. Ewing,
which, so far a his votes, more than
his speech, are concerned, he has ex
hibited rather more conciliatory in
tentions than was anticipated. His
vote against the Compromise, how
ever, is fully expected. The other is:
Mr. Benton took occasion to state
that he would go for the measures as
substantive propositions in separate
bills.
Mr. Cass, to-day, deeply depreca
ted the use of 'the argument that
Texas would resort to war, as well
as the argument that if Texas relin
quished her claim to a part of New
Mexico it was convening a portion
of a slave State into a free soil State.
The vote on Mr. Bradbury's
amendment stood 2S to 2S. This
was the amendment providing Com
missioners, which the Texan Sena
tors opposed as calculated to delay
the settlement of the question
Mr. Winthrop, from Massnchu
setts, will undoubtedly take his seat
'o-morrow, which will leave the vote
29 against 29 if Mr. King votes in
lavor.
The Benton and Foote Committee
did not report to day, as it is sup
posed, to avoid interfering with the
Compromise, perhaps anticipating
debate upon the report.
The last heard of Mr Bates, was
not that he i on a flying mission to
the Conge Islands, but that he was
supposed by his friends in St. Louis
to be somewhere.
July 30.
Mr. Bates, the new Secretary of
War, arrived in Wasnington this
evening, there is said still to be
some doubt whether he will go into
the Cabinet.
Mr. Bradbury's amendment to the
compromise Din was aaopred oy a
vote ol 30 to iJS Mr. Shields, of
Illinois, who was not counted among
the friends of it, having, at the last
moment, voted for it. A motion
had previously been made to lay the
bill on the table to reject it which
was lot by a vote of 25 yeas to 32
nays. J here is a strong hope now
indulged by the friends of the bill
that it will pass.
July 31.
The Senate after a session which
lasted till near night, decided the fate
of the Compromise but before it.
After making various amendments,
which so essentially changed the
character of the bill, manv ol us on
ginal friends were opposed to it, the
bill was ordered to a third reading,
containing simply a provision for the
organization of the territory of Utah.
Aug. 1.
The bill for admitting California
was made the special order at 12
o'clock to-day and daily till disposed
of. Mr. Foote said the bill could
never pass that parliamentary meas
ures would be resorted to, to defeat
if nothing else would. Mr. Clav
said the Compromise bill had been
defeated by the extremeties on both
sides." He then referred ' to -the re
marks which had been made about
resistance to the authorities of the
general government, and earnestly
and patriotically disavowed such doc
trines (for which he was applauded
by persons in the galleries.) He had
heard of blood being shed in -case
this government attempted to carry
out certain measures. -; Weak : and
feeble as he was, his voice and arm
should be raised to support and main
tain the power and authority of the
General Government. (Applause.)
The bill to establish a territorial
government for Utah was passed.
Aug. 2.
Tha California bill -was taken up,
the question being on Mr. : Foote's
amendment to restrict the boundary
Texas to 35 30; it was lost. Mr.
Pearce gave notice that he would
introduce a bill to establish a territo-
is
rial government for New Mexico,
and settle the boundary of Texas.
The House laid aside the Califor
nia bill and took tip the Indian appro
priation bill. - - ..- .
Aug. 2. Blowing up of the America.
We are indebted to the Cleveland
Plain Dealer for an extra, giving the
following particulars of the disaster
of the America:
By ' passengers on' the ' Alabama
which came in after our paper went
to press last night, we learn the ap
palling particulars. Tha America
left this port Tuesday, at 2 P. M for
Buffalo with a fair load of passengers,
mostly cabin. When about 40 miles
below Erie, and about 1 o'clock next
morning, her 2d boiler from the star
board side burst, carrying complete
ly away her fire, and letting out the
whole volume of steam.
The explosion upset the boiler
deck, throwing it with such force
against the deck above as to raise it
several feet, tumbling cabin and state
rooms ail together. The chimneys
alone in that part of the boat were
left standing; and even the breeching
around them was taken away. The
steam instantaneously enveloped the
boat, filled the cabins and state
rooms. So dense, pressing, and hot
was it that passengers in the after
cabin were severely scalded.
The Alabama discovered her lights
and signals of distress about one
hour a.ter the accident had occurred.
When she came along side there
seemed to be one general rush of the
Americas passengers on board.
Those who went on board the ill-
fated boat, describe the scene as
awful. Thirty or forty human be
ings in distress, some dead, some dy
ing, and some in the most excrulia-
ting agon)-; men, women and chil
dren; groaning, screaming and cry
ing; some calling for water, help;
sitting on the floor, rolling on the
deck, women in disheveled hair and
half dressed, roving about the boat
and calling for their children, hus-
b.i.id and friends. J here was such
consternation among the few who re
mained unhurt that but little was
done to relieve the sufTeiers.
The Engineer of the Alabama
went on board, and opened his oil
cans upon them, which stilled the
groans of mnnv. Three died on tlie
way back to Erie, and when the
Alabama left her at 9 A. M., ti ht
had died. Ilnw many more is to fol
low is yet to be known.
We are indebted to Mr. Nathan
Derring, of South Bloomfield, O.,

as regards the stamp to be fixed in
future, is that newspapers which
publish a tale, sketch or story, will
have to pay one centime dearer per
stamp.
A good deal of excitement rose in
the Assembly in consequence of an
abusive article, directed to the As
semblv in the Journil Pouvoir,
which is considered the President's
organ. Girardin defended the edi
tor who was subsequently summoned
before the House, and fined 5,000
francs bv 275 to 119.

From tub Rio Granub. Mur
der and Lynch Law. By the arri
val of the steamship Yacht we have
received the American Flag of the
17ih inst. There, were repcrts'of
Indian depredationsbetween Browns
ville and Point Isabel. Tho housa
of Mr. G. L. Stillwater, near the Sal
Colerado, was attacked by eleven
Indians, who, however, were repuls
ed. It is supposed that a Mr. Hoi-
brook was killed by them. The Flag
relates that a voung Mexican who
shot and killed another Mexican, at
Monte Bank, and attempted to es
cape by swimming the river, was
captured, brought back, and hung
in twenty minutes from the time
the murder was committed. Anoth
er occurrence of the same kind took
place on the Uth inst. The night
before, at a fanJango, or rather alter
having lelt it, Capt. John Brannen
was followed, irtabbed, and killed by
a notorious ruffian, named Bill Ilir
dy. He was arrested next morning
about daylight, ironed and taken to
jail. The only, cause assigned for
the brutal outruge was the refusal
ofBrennan to let Hardy have mon
ey while at Urazos. Un learning
the character of the man, and tho
Inserureness of the jail, the citizens
of Brownsville determined, as ths
prisoner had confessed his guilt, to
cut short his murderous career at
once. ' A meeting assembled, and it
was voted that the culprit should be
hung forthwith. The Flag describes
the rest of the proceedings as follows:
"The crowd then proceeded to tho
jail and demanded the culprit. , Tho
prisoner was unfettered and brooght
forth, and in that condition permit
ted to walk to the place of his execu
tion. ; lie evinced the most perfect
indifference as to his fate, not suffer
ing a muscle of his face or limb la '
betray the least emotion, and even
took the rope that was to hang him
and tied the hangman's knot to show
how it was done, without the slight
est perceptible tremor of the nerve.

Virginia Tobacco Crop. Tho
Richmond Whig speaks of gfoomy
accounts from all parts of the coun

inflicted a degree of injury scarcely
known in the history ot Virginia lar
ming. -The tobacco crop especially,
seems to have sunered mora than)
any other, and the prospects is worso

could be.' ,. .. ,. .
