FROM WASHINGTON'.
Washington, Jan. 22.
The place of Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury has been filled by the
appointment of Mr. Allen A. II all
late Register of the Treasury. Mich
ael E. Nourse, who has. lor fortv
years, been in that Bureau, ns Chief
Clerk, is now acting as Register of
the Treasury. But, I learn that it
has been determined to nominate, as
Register, Mr. Haines, late Secretary
of State in Pennsylvania. We hear
of no other official changes here.
"Old Zack" is quite composed
arrvdst the storm that is raging around
him. He is,- ns I have no doubt, de
termined upon his own course, and
has the prudence to keep his own
counsel. I do not find that he has dis
closed to any one his purposes, and
they are only to bo inferred from the
declarations of his late message. He
is treated with marked respect by
both parties, so far as Congress is
concerned. Ho has cautiously felt
his way, and is, as I believe, now en
tirely out of leading strings. He is
now, so far as the more important
matters are concerned, every inch,
the President.
The House, unable to agree upon
the election of a door keeper, has,
very wisely, postponed the subject till
the 4th of March, 1851. On Monday,
the House will be ready to proceed
to business, in good earnest; but, it is
expected that it will, at once, become
involved in the agitation of the miser
able question which now overshadows
all other subjects.
The ordinary subjects of legislation
will be neglected, for some months to
come. Every member nerves him
self for the coming storm. The gen
eral opinion is, that the crisis is una
voidable, and cannot be retarded; and
that this is the time to settle the ques
tion, at once and forever. Some Cow
despair of an adjustment, sayinsr, that
neither party can suddenly change its
front.
If the matter were left to Congress
nbne, it would be, indeed, impossible
to adjust it. Pride of opinion, personal
rivalries and enrrn'ies, and the fear of
constituencies would prevent it. Rut
the people will take up the subject,
and counsel their representatives. Il
1 am not much mistaken, the northern
people, in immense masses, arc now
exercising a potent influence upon
their representatives. I hey have
become aware of the danger, and will
not allow n small faction of fanatics
and demagogues, longer to hazard
their interests.
Air. oaliioun was, last evening,
quite ill, though not dangerously so.
Washington, Jan. 23.
uen. uass s cianoratc ami able ar
gument ngainst the Wilmot Proviso
was concluded vcslcrday, and is high
ly commended. Gen. Cass announced,
in the outset, that he would vote
ngainst the Proviso, contrary to his
instructions, and resign his scat. If
he can establish his principle of noiv
intervention, he will gain an immorta
triumph, but nothing has occurred to
show that the Worth will yield the
assumed power to prohibit slavery in
the States. The Senate, as now con
stituted, will not deem it expedient to
exert the power, and it is yet to be
seen whether Congress will agree to
a compromise of the question. It has
been stated that the passage of the
Wilmot Proviso, in the Senate, will
depend on the vole of a Senator from
Delaware. But I believe this to be
a mistake. Thirtv-three Senators, ns
I nm assured, will vote ojrainst. Of
the rest many are in favor of evad
ing it.
The question blocks up all business
in both Houses. It is now made
known, by declarations of Southern
members, both in and out of Congress,
that they will not vote for any appro
priations, until the territorial question
shall be adjusted. Air. Cm.ngman, of
North Carolina, though a Whig, and
a friend of the Administration, declar
ed this policy, in his speech, to day.
Tl e attack, "from the South, on Gen.
Taylor's policy, in relation to Cali
fornia and the territorial question, was
answered, to day, by Mr. Clinoman,
in a very able and impressive speech,
and he was followed, on the same
side, by Mr. Howard, of Texas.
This discussion is in Committee of
the Whole on the state of the Union,
and is likely to continue. Ch, Cour.
Listening to evil reports. The
longer 1 live the more I feel the im
portance of adhering to the rules
which I have laid down for myself in
lelation to such matters : 1. To hear
as little as possible whatever, that is
to the prejudice of others. 2. To
believe nothing of the kind till I am
forced to it. 3. Never to drink in the
spirit of one who circulates an evil
report. 4. Always to moderate ns
far as I can, the unkindncss which is
expressed towards others. 5. Always
to believe, that if the other side were
beard, a very different account would
be given of the matter.
There is no policy like politeness; and
good manner is ibe best thing in tbe world,
titber to gel s good name, or to supply the
want of it.
THE FATAL SECRET.
An aged man, without an enemy in
the world, in his own house, and in his
own bed, is mado the victim of a
butcherly murder, for mere pay.
Deep sleep had fallen on the destined
victim, and on all beneath his roof.
A healthful old man, to whom sleep
was sweet, the first sound slumbers of
the night held him to their soft but
strong embrace. The assassin enters,
through the window already prepared,
into an unoccupied apartment. With
noiseless foot he paces the lonely hall,
half lighted by the moon; he winds up
the ascent of the stairs, and reaches
the door of the chamber. Of this he
moves the lock, by soft and continued
pressure, till it turns on its hinges
without noise; and he enters, and be
holds his viclim before him. The
room was uneom
monlv open to the
admission of light. The lace of the
innocent sleeper was turned from the
murderer, nnd the beams of the moon,
resting on the gray locks of his aged
temple, showed hi in where to strike. 1
I'liQ fatal blow is given! and the vic
tim passes, without a struggle or mo-
repose of death ! It is the assassin's '
purpose to make sure work, and he
yet plies the dagger, though it was
obvious that life had been destroyed
by the blow of the bludgeon. He
even raised the aged arm, that he
may .not fail in his aim at the heart,
and replaces it again over the wounds
of the poniard! To finish the picture,
he explores the wrist for the pulse!
lie feel for it, and ascertains that it
boat? no longer! It is accomplished.
The deed is done. Ho retreats, re
traces his steps to the window, passes
out inrough it as he came in, nnd es
capes. He has done the murder no
eye has seen him, no car has heard
him. The secret is his own, and it is
safe I
Ah! gentlemen, that was a dreadful
mistake. Such a secret can be safe
no where. The whole creation ol
God has neither nook or corner, where
the guilty can bestow it, and say it is
safe. Not to speak of that eye which
glances through all disguises', and be
held everything, as in the splendor of
noon, such sec.ets of guilt arc never
safe from detection, even by men.
True il is, generally speaking, that
'murder will out' True it is, thai
Providence hath so ordained, nnd doth
S3 govern things, that those who break
the great law of heaven, by shedding
man's blood, seldom succeed in avoid
ing discovery. Especially, in a case
exciting so much attention as this,
discovery must come and will come,
sooner or later. A thousand eyes
turned nt once to explore every man
every thing, every circumstance, con
nected with the time and place; i
thousand cars catch every whisper, n
thousand excited minds intensely dwell
on the scene, shedding all their light,
and ready to kindle the slightest cir
cumstance into a blaze of discovery.
Meantime, the guilty soul cannot keep
its own secret. It is false to itself, or
rather it feels nn irresistible impulse
of conscience lo be true to itself. It
labors under its guilty possession, and
knows not what to do with it. The.
human heart was not made for the
residence of such an inhabitant. It
finds itself preyed on by a torment
which it dares not acknowledge to
God or man. A vulture is devouring
it, and it can ask no sympathy or as
sistance, cither from heaven or earth.
The secret which the murderer pos
sesses soon comes to possess him; and,
like the evil spirits of which we read,
it overcomes him, and leads him with
ersoever il will. He feels it beating
at his heart, rising to his throat, and
demanding disclosure, He thinks the
ivholc world sees it in his face, reads
it in his eyes, and almost heuis iis
working in the very silence of his
thoughts. It has become his ma-tcr.
It betravs his discretion, it breaks
down his courage, it conquers his
prudence. VV hen suspicion from with
out begins to embarrass him, the fatal
secret struggles with still greater
violence to burst forth. It must be
confessed, it will be confessed; and
there is no refuge from confession but
suicide, and suicide is confession.
Daniel Webster.
THE SERPENT.
A correspondent inquires of Major
Noah ,Is there any authentic des
cription of the serpent wh'ch tempted
live in raradise to eni me loroiuucn
fruit T" To which he replies in the
New York Sunday Tunes Nothing
beyond what painting has given us of
the representation oi tne serpeni. w e
have abundant conjectures, of ancient
nnd modern philosophers, but only
conjectures, and of little value. The
impression is, that the serpent had the
power of changing its. appearance,
complexion, and character. De Lyra
indulged in the idle conceit that it as
sumed the face of a fair virgin; Eu
gubinos thinks that the serpent wis a
basalisk; Delrio, a viper; Petrus Com
estor contended that the serpent wal
ked upright like a man; and Dr. Adam
Clarke considered the serpent to have
been a creature of the ape or ourang
outang kind. Our impression is, that
there was no outward visible form
present when the forbidden fruit was
eaten. 1 he serpent which tempted
bve to do wrong is the same serpent
which tempts us all nt this time to do
what is not right that it wns the in
ward suggestion of a rebellious spirit
which leads us all into temptation. nnJ
that the passage in the Bible is to be
interpreted figuratively, and not liter
ally. The serpent was cursed as we
curse the workings of an evil spirit
within us when we begin to fuel its
effects, and it is this evil spirit which
puts enmity between each other.
THE WEATHER.
In introducing this familiar topic to
the attention of farmers, it is by no
means intended to discuss it after the
manner unfortunately so common in
fashionable circles, where the gentle-
man remarks, "It is very fine
wcatln
f,'' ai'd the la ly says "Yes;" but to
induce them to think that, especially
at this season. U is to them a most
important subject. They should learn
(ala1 that they do not know it already)
that more important knowledge is to
bo gained from daily observation of
the thermometer and barometer, than
I111 ar.v source whatever; that these
instruments afford more and truer
portents of sudden changes than any
other means, and that, in a long scries
of years what may be called "crisis
of the weather," happen nearly at the
same time, and that one year's constant
watching these instruments, and not
ing their rise and fall, the winds nnd
clouds, the amount of rain, (fcc, will
bo an almost infallible index of the
years that may follow. There is en
tirely too much superstition intermin
gled in this matter, and believed in, by
our class; they trut too much to the
inltucnc! of tiie moon, the flight of
birds, the whistling of the winds, the
cracking of fire. All these may be
important as so many adjuncts, but
they are accidental nnd uncertain.
The indications of science are uniform
and infallible. These trifles nre as
old as the age of Virgil and, while
none should be dissuaded from the
attentive consideration of the works
of nature, we are wiser than the coun
trymen of The Mantuan," and have
firmer, supports more certain relian
ces. We have learned to place our
fai h on a higher power than the moon
to read and believe laws as tin
changing ns the hills.
To make and enforce a practical
application of what has been said, it
is only necessary to call to mind the
frost and snow of April 15th, 1810,
and to warn all who love good fruit,
that they may expect a renewal of
that catastrophe next rpring. Wo
shall try to avoid if, ami pray that the
trial mav not he placed upon us. The
weather here, for a month past, has-
been excessively warm, and but little
more ol it will be required to make
all our fruit trees bud; they will con
tinue swelling until they bloom, and
it is reasonable to expect at least one
severely cold day during our short
winter, and then every breeze from
the North will be laden with blooms.

Lean and Fat. Tne Washington coi
respondent of t lie Charleston News has the
following in one of his recent letters:
It is agreed that f tic personal appearance
of the members of the present Congrpss is
decidedly better than usual, nnd tint the
average of intellectual men is much great
er than formerly. De litis as it mar, there
is one fact, with scarcely an exception,
winch is thai the inli llectual members aie
thin. A m nd man, writing for the journal
published in llie Insane Asylum at Br.mle.
Ijoro', Vermont, llius speaks on the subject,
he says: "A corpulent iulelleclunlist is a
contradiction in terms a palpable cata
chresis. One might as well talk of a lead
en kite; a sedentary will-o'-the-wisp; a
pot bellied spirit, or lazy lightning. Obes
ity is a deadly Ibe to genius. In such un
wieldy bodies the spirit is like a gudgeon
in t large Irving pan ol fat, which is either
wholly absorbed, or tastes of nothing but
the lard. Let no man attempt to write
who has a protuberant stomach, let no man
reckon on immortality who cannot distinct
ly leel and count his own ribs; for the thin
nest bow shoots the farthest, and the lean
est horse wins the race, Nothing lat ever
yet enlightened Ibe world; lor even in a
tallow candle the illumination springs from
the thin wick."
How late is it. Bill?"

A proposition is to he introduced before
Congress lo crant the Hungarian exiles a
donation of lands Irom the public domain.
A precedent is found for this in the grant ol
lands formerly made to tbt Polish patriots.
Rats. A terrible battle against the rats
in the sewers of Paris, which are one
hundred and fifty leagues in exient, com
menced on the night of Saturday. The
result up to this time is said lo be the de
struction of 2.j(J,0U0 nils, and it is expected
that by t lie first of next muntli the number
will have readied 000,01)0. The municipal
authorities are of opinion that, by making
four battles a year, Paris will be rid ol
these destructive vermin. Several plans of
destruction were mad use of by the dif
ferent brigades of sewer-men, bill that
which was found lo be most suceessful,
was the placing of a la rife leather sack, ill
which a large piece of mutton (allow was
placed a dainty of which these animals
are very fond at the corner iiT each sewer
and towards which the animals were
driven.
