Opening of Coajrrn.
Washington, Dec. 6.
Senate. —The Senate met at 12 >l. to-dav,
and was unusually full. The galleries were
crowded with ladies. The proceedings were
commenced with prayer by the Rev. l)r. Butler.
The chair was occupied by William R. King,
who appeared in excellent health.
The Senate was called to order at half-past
12 o’clock. The credentials of Mr. Cathcart,
recently appointed Senator from Indiana, bv
the Governor of that State, to succeed James
Whitcomb, deceased, were presented.
Mr. Cathcart. having been duly qualified,
took his scat.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, presented the cre
dentials of Archibald Dixon, elected by the Le
gislature of Kentucky to succeed the late Heu
rv Clav.
Mr. Gwinn, of California, said that there was
no vacancy from Kentucky, ond he objected to
the administration of the oath to Mr. Dixon.
The \ nancy, lie said, caused by the death of
Mr. Clay, had been filled by the appointment of
Mr. Merriwether, who he considered was enti
tled to the seat until another Legislature should
elect his successor.
Mr. Jones said that no person contested Mr.
Dixon’s seat, and he maintained that he must
be received.
House.— The House met at 11 o’clock, Speak

Terrific Explosion
Pittsburgh, Dec. 2.
A section boat loaded with powder exploded
on plane six. at one o’clock this afternoon, on
the Portage Railway. No one was injured.—
The report of the explosion was heard at Holi
daysburg, a distance of ten miles.
Changes of a Life-time.— Mrs. Fellows, wife
of Mr. Henry Fellows, of Pcnfield, Monroe co.,
N. Y„ died a few days ago, aged 65. She was the
daughter of Mrs. Hannah Sanborn, the oldest
living resident of Canaudaigua, and one of the
very first settlers of that place. She is now
90, and retains a vigor and vivacity which few
females possess at 60. She was born in Lyme,
Conn., and the Albany Register thus speaks of
the Pioneer Woman :
More than thirty years ago her husband, Mr.
Sanborn—an adventurous and “go ahead”
Yankee—left Connecticut with some of his
neighbors, and penetrated the wilds of Western
New York, as far as Canandaigua. There he
cast his lot, made a clearing erected a rude log
house, and then returned to Connecticut to
“ move out” to his new home. When they left
the good old town of Lyme to make a journey
which can now be accomplished comfortably
within a few hours, their neighbors bid them an
affectionate farewell, aud never expected to see
t “ em a train, if they should ever hear from
them. The,torn nvt no light umWtaVine
The little party were just six weeks making the
trip from Schenectady to Canandaigua! It
can now be aceomplised by “Lightning Ex
press” in as many hours, and “Aunt Sanborn.”
as she is familiarly called, has lived to do it !
They went up the Mohawk, as far as practica
ble, in a canoe, and thence Mrs. Sanborn jour
neyed on horseback, having frequently to tarry
by the way till a road could be made through
the forest. But at length the task was accom
plished, and she was the first white woman who
ever visited Canandaigua. The old ladyused,not
long ago, to come down to Albany every vear
and visit her friends, who were always rejoiced
to meet her. She is a Connecticut* woman of
the old school, and as remarkable for strength of
intellect and general information, as for every
other adornment of the female character. Lat
terly the infirmities of age have reached her,
and she is now unable to journey so far. May
she live to accomplish her century of years!
The Mouth of the Mississippi. — Deßow’s
Review for the present month, reiterates the
appeal often urged upon Congress for grants
to carry out enlarged improvements at the
mouth of tbe Mississippi. Three plans have
been presented and discussed at different peri
ods for the accomplishment of the object. One
is to deepen by dredging machines two of the
principal passes, at an estimated cost of SATO,-
000, with a subsequent annual expenditure of
$72,000. Another, to close all but one of the
passes where they leave the river trunk : esti
mated cost, $527,000. The third, to cut a ship
canal from a point below Fort Jackson to the
Gulf, costing, including all contingencies, $lO,-
000.000. Considering the immense commerce
of this great inland sea, any of these amounts
is insignificant in comparison with the end to
be accomplished. Deßow publishes a diagram
representing the appearance of the Bar in May
last, when property valued af $ was
detained. It is computed thav thji Jopscjs from'
detention alone would in a single your pay for
almost the entire iihprdvgintnt. The Review
remarks : ‘ • • ;
“I'pon the single ittnr of freights alone- u is-,
estimated that the use of smaller vessels to
which the shallowness of water is driving the
commerce of the West, instead of those of larg
er size and capacity, will be attended with a
loss of $2 per bale, or $2,800,000 annually upon
the cotton crop ; and equally as much, perhaps
upon the total of other articles of export, in
all, about $5,000,000 per annum!”
Travelers who see Themselves. —Tbe fol
lowing, from the New York Times, is a clever
hit at a class of travelers who much abound in
these davs:
•Tt will be a great day for literature and our
patience when travelers learn to see the coun
try they travel thcough rather than themselves
in every land. What care we whether they
dined ou trout or on dry crackers and cheese,
whether they got their feet wet in crossing a
stream over which a good log was thrown, or
kept their wits about them and went over dry
shod. They go to the Holy Land not to see
the land, but to see how they shall feel on it.—
They paint for us not the country, its habits
and customs, but themselves in the foreground,
with a few cedars of Lebanon and palm groves
as a background to fill up the picture. They
are like those persons who stop as they walk
up Broadway and look carefully in at shop
windows, not to see the rich goods but to see
in the reflection of their own persons w hether
their collars stand upright and whether their
cravats are properly adjusted.”
The Cunard Steamship Company are about
to add six new screw propeller steamers to
their line, with the intention of running twice
a month between Liverpool and New-York;
New-York, Kingston aud Chagres ; Chagres,
Havana and New-York, and New-York and
Liverpool. Four of the vessels are to be of
1,400 tons, and two of 2,000 tons burden, Brit
ish measurement; and all arc constructing at
Glasgow-. Each will be furnised with two steam
engines of four hundred horse power respect

Tell your Wife.
Yes, the only wav is to tell your wife just how
you stand. Show her your balance sheet. Let
her look over the items. You think it will hurt
her feelings. No. it wont do any such tiling.—
She bas been taught to believe that money was
with you just as little boys think it iswith"their
fathers terribly hard to be reached, but inex
haustible. She has her suspicions already.—
She lias guessed you were not so prosperous as
you talked. But y*ou have so befogged vour
money affairs that she. poor thing, knows noth
ing about them. Tell it right out to her that
vou are living outside of vour income. Take
her into partnership, aud I’ll warrant you will
never regret it. There may be a slight shower
at first, but that’s natural. Let her see your
estimate, and when you come home again she
will show you that you have put her bills too
high. True, she had an eighteen dollar bonnet
last winter, but “ it’s just as good as ever ; a
few shillings will provide it with new strings,
and refit it a little; the shape,” she savs, “is
almost exactly as they wear them now.” And
you will be surprised to see how much less ex
pensive she can make your own wardrobe.—
She will surprise you with a new vest—uot ex
actly unfamiliar some how, looking as if in an
other shape you had seen it before—yet new as
a vest, and scarcely costing a dollar, where
yon had allowed five. Old cravats will experi
ence a resurrection in bej bands, coming out so
rejuvenated that nobody but those that arc let
into the secret would suspect that they are old
friends in new shapes. The gown you were go
iug to buy— out of what forgotten chest she has
gathered the materials you cannot imagine—
but there it is comfortable and warm, and jußt
the thing you wanted for the long winter even
ings that are coming on as fast as the almauac
will let them.
You will find a wonderful change in her
tastes and appetites. Whereas she always fan
cied what was a little out of season or just com
ing into market, now, if beef is dear, she thinks
“boiled mutton isdelightful, as tender as chick
en.” If lamb rises, and fish are plenty, she
thinks a "striped bass is so good occasionally,”
and ah\ ays. insists on having it Fridays.—
Whereas, before, she must hear all those musi
cal celebrities—now she is “out of all patience
with these foreign singers.” If Jenny Lind
were to return aud sing some of our own sweet
airs, she'd like to hear her; but she has had
enough of Italian extravagance, all written on
the legor lines below or above, as if it were a
sin to tarry long on the common staff.
Before you have thought much about it you
will find yourself spending most of your even
ings at home, and such evenings too—so full of
domestic enjoyment and fireside pleasures, that
you will look with wonder on the record of last
year’s expenses, and marvel that you found
time or relish for the costly entertainments
that so seriously taxed your port monnaie.
My dear friend, if like Spain, your outgoes
threaten to exceed your incomes,"be sure and
tell your wife of it. Not in a tone and manner
that will lead her to think you don't want her
to buy furs this winter, but just as if you want
ed a counsellor in the day of your trouble.—
And if 6hc does not come up, heart and soul,
and most successfully to your relief, put me
down for no prophet, and her for no worthy
specimen of a Yankee lass.—-V. Y. Times.
Married and given in Marriage. —An Aus
tralia correspondeut of the Alta Californian
gives quite an interesting account of the Brit
ish convict system in Van Dieman’s Land, and
thus describes the marrying mania which exists
among the convicts who are out at service, and
the reason therefor. He writes :
“But the ouly care of the Government seems
to be to get these people off their hands as fast
as possible, and another method has now been
Oil Upon In a l-ootly marlri-t fnr thous
ands of the convicts, and thereby relieving the
Exchequer of the expense of mantaining them ;
and I presume the man that first devised it was
made baronet by the British Government. It
is neither more nor less than encouraging, be
tween the convicts and the free portion of the
inhabitants, ‘matrimonial alliances.’ In these,
young ladies affiance themselves to old men,
and young men marry old women. I will ex
plain. A female convict, by becoming the
spouscof a freeman, is entitled to all the rights
and privileges ofafree woman. As long as she
keeps with tier husband, the bonds of matrimo
ny arc the only bonds to which she is subject.
The same with a male convict. By marrying
a free woman, he becomes by virtue of liis office
as ‘husband,’ as free as the Governor himself,
as long as he conducts himself to the satisfac
tion of his better-half. The consequence of this
clever stroke of policy is, that marriages of this
description arc continually coming off with
wonderful rapidity. Any old man can get, in
this accommodating country, as young a lady
as he pleases ; that is, if he'is not over scrupu
lous as to her past character, which is never in
Van Dieman’s Land, by the bye, taken into
consideration. He has many hundreds to choose
from, not one of whom will spurn bis offer, so
anxious are they to escape from Government,
that I question whether one of them could lie
found who would refuse her hand even to Old
Nick himself. And on the other hand, any
Australian lady verging on fifty, can lie sup
plied, if she require it, with as youthful a hus
band as her heart can desire. There are before
her men of every age and condition to select
a partner from—parsons, doctors, clerks, trades
men and laborers—few will hesitate a moment
when she broaches the subject. The vast ma
jority, to get out of the Government power,
would marry the Witch of Endor herself, if that
•would accomplish it.”
Coinage cf the Mints of the Exited States.
—Stneirthe Ist of January last, there have been
coined at the LL R.Mint in Philadelphia and its
several ljfar.chcs,, 54.J.2,1,V50 in gold ; $737,-
601 to silver,, aud ,$40,33a in copper—total.
$46,049,589. The deposits of gold at the sev
eral mints, during the same time, amounted to
$43,908,865, of which $43,446,809 was from Cal
ifornia.
The deposits of gold at Philadelphia since
the Ist inst., amount to $4,792,000, against
$4,960,000 for the same time last year. Anoth
er steamer is now nearly due with a large a
mount of gold dust, but the total deposits for
the year will hardly reach the amount deposit
ed during the year 1851. In that year the de
posits of gold for November and December were
$11,762,669, of which $109,121 were foreign
gold. This amount will hardly \te reached for
the corresponding months of the current year.
The deposits of foreign gold (chiefly coin) for
the first ten months of the current year, at all
the mints, have increased, as compared with
the same period of 1851, $333,681. Iu domestic
gold, (he deposits of California gold have fallen
ofl $80,596, hut the amount from other States
has increased $112,742. — U. S. Gazette.
The Caloric Suit*.—The New-York Times
says: “The experiment of Mr. Ericsson, of ap
plying heated air to the propulsion of ships, ig
rapidly ajiproaching a crisis. Tbe trial ship for
this object was launched in this city several
weeks ago, and by the first of December her
machinery will be ready to test tbe feasibility
of the discovery as a substitute for steam.—
Opinions are much divided on the subject.—
The revolution which it proposes in navigation
is too wonderful not to enlist the liveliest con
cern among business men. The principle, if
successful with water craft, is capable of appli
cation to nearly all machinery now driven by
steam. Mills, factories, and railway locomo
tives may employ it. The discovery, rapid ex
tension, and employment of the magnetic tele
graph, are not more remarkable than this will
be if its practical working should correspond
with tbe now sanguine hopes of Mr. Ericsson
and the friends who arc furnishing him with the
means.”

! Eccentricities of Genius.—Last week we
stated that the elder Booth, who bas been for a
I short time bock playing in California, waa on
j his return home. A letter received from Sac
ramento, a few days ago. informs ub that he has
not been very successful in the auriferous dis
tricts, having sacrificed quite freely to the jolly
god who is always represented sitting astride a
barrel, with a goblet In bis hand ana a wreath
of vine leaves on hiß rubicund brow. On the
last night but one of bis engagement in {lan
Francisco, the tragedian played Richard HI.,
and when he knelt for Lady Anne to kill him,
fell over on his face. Rising with some diffi
culty. he pointed to the stage, which was cov
ered with green baize, and addressed the audi*
ence in this wise: “Do you see that green baize?
Well, the verdigris has got out of that and
poisoned me /” On the some night, when he
should have spoken one of the usual eoliloqute
he coolly said : -Excuse the soliloquy,” ana
walked off the stage with all the nonchalance
that could be exhibited under the circumstan
ces.

Geoloct.—ln the vicinity of the Sinainawn
Mounds, Grant county, Wisconsin, at some four
different localities, miners, in digging for lead,
have exhumed the bones of animals of the moa*
todon species. These bones, in two instances,
were found down in crevices, associated with
the ore in the clayey deposite which filled the
crevice and formed the matrix for the vein.
Here is a subject for geologists to investigate.-
Did the mastodon live and become extinct be
fore the ore was deposited ? The evidences in
this case go to prove that they did.
Geology tells us that the mastodon dynasty
both comes in and goes out in the tertiary era.
The matrix, which the veins of lead ore trav
erse, belongs to this era; and this evidence tells
us that the lead deposites of the north-west be
long to a comparatively recent geological epoch.
And there is more evidence to sustain this sup
position than we might at first imagine. The
coal strata of the Mississippi valley are of mod
erately recent formation. The dense succulent
vegetation of the early part of the coal era.
would have formed the natural grazing fields of
the Pachyderms ; and further, all developments
of our planet are found to correspond to the
wants of animal organisms, and as ores were
evidently intended to supply the wants of the
highest class of organizations, we may suppose
their origin to have been somewhat contempo
raneous with that of man.— Gal. Jeffersonian.
Woman’s Rights in CAi.tFOR.vtA.— A letter
from San Francisco says : “The reader may not
be aware of the extent to which we have carried
‘Woman’s Rights,’ and all that sort of thing, in
California. Be it known to them therefore that
we have a law which enables women to carry
on business in their own name, independently
of their husbands or of their husband’s credi
tors. The enclosed advertisement, which I take
from the San Francisco Herald, gives all the in
formation necessary to an understanding of the
suViject :
“Notice.—Whereas Mrs. Eunice Smith, wife
of Jasper F. Smith, of thecity of San Francisco,
has this day, made and recorded according to
statute, her declaration that she intends to car
ry on business in her own name, aud on her own
account, to wit: the Real Estate and Auction
business. Now, therefore, she gives notice that
from this date she will be individually respon
sible in her own name for all debts contracted
by her on account of her said business; and she
intends to avail herself of all the provisions of
an act entitled, ‘An act to authorize married
women to transact business in their own name,
as sole traders.’ Eunice Smith.

. Lake Ot-rmioA Wi.mek.—Tbe-Northerner in
in at Cleveland, lrom Sault St. Marie, her last
trip to that region this season. Good sleighing
at the Sault; snow a foot deep, and more com
ing. The Northerner brought down to Detroit
the crews of some of the Lake Superior ship
ping, who report, the Free I’ress says, from five
to seven feet of snow about the Ontonagon!
This beats (juebec a trifle, as will be seen by
the following paragraph:
The Weather.— Winter has now fairly Ret in;
a steady fall of snow took place yesterday morn
ing, aud the ground being everywhere well pre
pared to receive it, there is now excellent sleigh
ing. Tiie harlior is almost entirely divested of
shipping, and everything about the wharves
lias assumed its cold and wintry aspect. Last
night the cold was severe, with a keen north
wind ; and if this weather continues, as it is
likely to, it is supposed our river steamers will
not attempt over one trip more this season.—
Quebec Gazette, A’ov. 24 th.
To advertise means “to inform’’—“to give
notice.” Signs are put up for this purpose,
aud as all do so, the belief in advertising is
universal. No one, therefore, need pretend
that he does not believe in the principle—
“actions speak louder than words.” But, says
one. 1 never advertise in Country newspapers.
Well, suppose you don't—others do, and as is
plainly seen, are rapidly going ahead. Sup
pose a farmer were to say that he never sowed
wheat—does it follow that it is not sensible to
do so ? A little advertising won’t do much
good. True ; a little seed sown won’t produce
a large crop—it w ould be folly to expect either.
I can’t afford to pay much money for advertis
ing. If it be unprofitable, it is unwise to pay
the first dollar—tf profitable, the more you ex
pend judiciously the better, at least until you
accumulate as many customers as you can pro
vide for.
Sight to tue Bund.—Miss Sarah Hanley, of
Malahide, Canada, aged twenty-one years, who
had been born blind, was reeently restored to
sight almost instantaneously, by an operation
of a surgeon, Dr. Cadwell. * The account says:
“To describe the sensations of the young lady,
when the first welcome ray of light entered her
hitherto sightless orbs, would be beyond our
power.” In an instant, a new and bright world
full of light aud life—terrible, because hitherto
unknown in its realized beauty, rose before her.
She looked and trembled ; she shook from head
to foot like an aspen leaf; and unable to utter
a word, she gazed in wild astonishment on the
scene before her. It was found that when her
emotions had somew'hat subsided, when articles
were shown with which she was perfectlyfamil
iar by touch, she could not recognize them as
being the same till she had felt of them.
A Noble Woman.—A letter to the Columbus
Journal, makes mention of an act of discretion
and bravery on the part of a young lady pas
senger on the Buckeye Belle, when the boiler
exploded, as highly creditable : “Senator Cov
ey, of Ohio, was sitting in the ladies’cabin, and
in the crash, the stove, near which he was sit
ting, was violently thrown upon him, and broke
his leg. A young lady of onr acquaintance,
Miss Charlotte Stone, of McConnellsville, man
ifested great presence of mind. By her exer
tions she removed the hot stove from Mr. Cov
ey, and took him from tbe cabin wreck to tbe
guard of the boat; she then procured a mat
trass, and put him on it till he could be remov
ed. The hot stove, with its burning contents,
was on the floor, and would soon have set the
wreck on fire. She took blankets and sheets
from the berths and plunged them in the water,
threw them on tbe stove and door, and thus v
voided that danger.”

American ladies cannot be suited with any Airs
