FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Dec. 20.
The message communicated to the Vir
cinia Legislature by Gov. Floyd, on the
I Oth inst., was published here to day, and
attraets rininli notice. The recommenda
tion of a Convention representing the whole
people, ami to meet in May, in Baltimore
or some cpn'ral city, is considered as a very
arnve matter. It is not slated what is to
be suhmined to the Convention whether
they are to propose essential changes of the
Constitution, or not. The object in view is
stated to be the restoration of com"
plete and effectual harmony. The princi
ples which are to govern the action of the
Convention, ou?ht to he announced, as the
Governor suggests, in the resolutions of the
Slates, respectively, by which it is called.
If the Convention can agree upon measures
that will bring to an end all sectional con
troversies relative to slavery, and secure the
faithful execution of the fugitive act, then,
the Governor thinks, the South will be con
tent, hut. if not, a speedy dissolution must
be the result. The message has been re
(erred to a Select Committee. In the
meantime, there is a movement on the part
of the Union men nt the North, for a gen
eral Convention of Union men, to he held
in this city on the 22d of February. The
New York Central Union Committee, have
written to Senators and others in this city,
requesting their co-operation, ar.d that of
the Mayor, in making nrrangemeiits for the
meeting. The object is, like that of Gov.
Floyd, to put down agitation of the slavery
subject in the Northern States, and give
assurance to the South of the disposition
and ability of the North to enforce n com
pliance, on their part, with constitutional
obligations.
The hill for the reduction of the rates of
Postage is under discussion in the House.
The bill of the late session proposes the uni
form rate of three cents, prepaid, for letters
not exceeding half an ounce, and five cts.
if not paid; and one cent for newspapers
transmitted to any place out of the State,
one half a cent within the State. It pro
vides for coins and stamps of three cents to
facilitate the payment of postage; and ap
propriates $1,500,000 to supply any defi
ciency that may arise in the revenue of the
Department. Mi, rotter's substitute pro
poses three cents for letters not exceeding
half an ounce the other provisions re
maining the same. Other propositions
have been made, to wit: the uniform rate
of two cents, and also the uniform rate of
five cents. The two cent plan is accom
panied by provisions abolishing the Frank
ing privilege, and making all government
postage a charge on the Treasury, and post
age of Congress a charge on their Contin
gent Fund. Some one of these schemes
will probably pass.
An Internal Improvement scheme has
been proposed by the Committee of Corn
merce of rhe House, which appropriates
about two millions one fourth for Western
rivers and lakes; one fourth for the sea
board; one fourth for Western portion; and
one fourth lor the South-west, Cor. Char.
Cow,
A Beautiful Sketch The bell lolls!
Again the sad minstrelsy of Death strikes
out his iron dirge in measured tones.
Again! The same is told. The remorse
less enemy of man is again in our midst.
The sky is o'ercast and cloudy, and the
drifting snow eddies in the whistling blast.
A lone day for a funeral cold without,
and mother earth fast lolding her faded
bosom in her chilly white shroud. Earth
is passing away. Another one has passed,
beyond the realms of snow and wintry
blasts, into a spring of eternal bliss and un
fading bloom. Passed away in Winter!
Fit time for the old to die, falling like au
tumn leaves tu the earth in (he winter of
lift! Dut cold for the warm-hearted young
to pass away.
"Room gentle flowers, my child would pass to
heaven,"
said Willis, as he laid his child beneath the
green summer's sod. "'Twas a beautiful
thought for a child to pass through a path
way of flowers into heaven, a brighter bud
than all, to expand where graves and win
ters are not. But it is winler now, and a
child is passing lo its little home in the cold
earth. The snow is fast falling, and the
turf above its rest will soon be white as
its own lips and cheek; or the shroud
around ii. But the seasons will move on.
The spring time will come again; anJ the
sweet flowerf will burst from their
wintry sleep upon (he little girl's grave,
while in the summer of immortality, she
shall bloom in unfading innocence and
beauty."
EXCITEMENTS.
We Americans are fond of excitement.
Everything with us goes upon the head
long, high pressure, 51, d0 principle.
There is no chance for slow coaches here,
and the drowsy, rub'your-cyes-in tlie
morniig sort of people are unceremonious'
ly brushed aside. Locomotives that do less
than their thirty miles an hour nre thrown
aside ns old iron, and captains of steam
boats will crowd up their boats into a
twenty-knot pace, even if they havo to sit
astride Ihe safety -valves to make them go
nt this killing speed. It has been said that
to a mind once used to the headway of this
Continent, the Old World it a stagnant
pond, and this is running, sparkling water.
The fact is, Jonathan Iia3 a good deal of
the snappiug-turtle in bis composition, and
wants always, like Peter Huss, to "push
along, keep moving." It is to this restless
ness and londness of excitement, which
enters so largely into the national character,
that we may attribute in a great measure
the slave agitaiion and other controversies
which have shaken the land to its centre.
There must be in this country some vent,
hole some safety-valve or scape-pipe
for passion and feeling. Tho Oregon and
North-eastern Boundary disputes, the
Texan and Mexican Wars, Ihe Cuba Ex
pedition, and the California excitement, nl!
prove this. What we seem to want most
now h a combination for some gigantic pro
ject of conquest say that of the Antilles
and the British Provinces which would
swallow up all our seciional quarrels in its
own maelstrom tide, and knit our centrifu
gal forces together. Like the pugilistic
Kentuckian, we hove been long "spiling
for a fight," and so have turned our weap
ons upon each other. After a few years of
hard fighting with John Buil, or a hand-to-hand
strggle with England and Spain, per
haps even the "Cain'-ronian fanatics" o!
tho North and the Hotspurs ofthaoouth
might not reluct at shaking hands with each
other. A common cause, with a few severe
drubbings received in its Leha.'f, m:g".it
make them cease their bickerinijs aad be

After all, however, it must Le confessed

informed him the house was crowd-d to

But the landlord was a kind-hearted men,
and was "moved to compassion" by the
venerable and respectable appearance of the
stranger. He could not stud him away in
the pitiless storm, so being in a ineltin"
mood, he observed, that if ihe gentleman
would consent to take a room in which there
were two beds, one of which was occupied
by a tt'omrm, he could remain. The stran
ger replied, that he would much prefer a
room "alone by himself," but under the cir
cums'anccs the bid weather, etc., he would
accept the proposition. He dismounted, and

an nrticle referring M tho ollegcd verifica
tion of two extraordinary dreams, an ac
count (if which is now circulating through
ihe country, relates the following story, and
vouches for its truth :
In the year 1324 a mammoth lottery was
advertised to be drawn in the city of Wash
ington or tho benefit of that corporation.
The highest prize was $100,000. Some
time before tho drawing was to take place
gentleman, now deceased, then residont of
Richmond. Imil a dream, in which he saw it
announced conspicuoii-ly upon a nowsbuard
that n ticket having a certain number had
drawn the 100 000. Upon awaking, he
retained so vivid a recollection of his dream
that ho determined to procuro the ticket, if
possible, and he Ihcrctbr.: immediately cut
himself to work for that purpose. After
seeking for it in vain at several ollices. ho
at last applied to a distant vender, probably
the manager himself who had it on hand.
It was sold lo the gentleman. The drawing
soon after took place, and tlio dream was
realized. The ticket draw the princely sum
of A 100,000, and the circumstances is, no
doubt, Mill in the recollection of many of
the citizens of Richmond and Washington.

rary very sensibly remarks, that tliere should
be some means of disliuguisliing single from
married men. Unmarried li-uiales are
known by the prefix of .Miss to llu-ir names,
but ail men aro styled Jlr. How much un
necessary trouble and solicitude might be
spared to the anxious mothers of marriage,
able girls, could they make this distinction.
How very annoying lo a mother and a bevy
ofgirls, after loyiiiff themselves out 10 please

Tits y.ET PiiEJinr.iTur. Election in
ISo2, it is said, must be under the appor
lionnu-nl to be made according to the se
venth census recently taken and in pro
gress. The Baltimore Sun remarks :
The cenfus act fixes the aigregate num
ber of representatives, and makes it the du
ty ot the oecretary ol ttse interior to ascer
tain the number to the House of Repre-
sen'attves, and likewise lo th: Executive of
the Stale. Thus there is no action required
from Congress on the su biect, for the Con
stilution prescribes that each State shall
appoint the nuuibttr of electors etual lo the
number of Representatives and Senators.
to which "the h-ittte may he entitled in the
Congress."
The time lor holding elections for electors
of President and Vi; Pro-idem is fixed bv
Ihe act i f January od, lb i", niid Congress
has nothing more lo do in the matter.
There huve been alternately, two Presi
dential trrms and three terms, under each
census. Under tho apportionment made
accordin" io the sixth cen-iis tliere can be
but two Presidential terms, ihe next
Congress is thcrelore elected under ona ap
portionment, and tho i.e.tt President under
another, which lias been the case hereto
fore. I suppose the Slates will be duly notified
of the number of iepres?ntatives lo which
they may l e entiilcd in the rsst Congress,
early next month, and perhaps bt-fore; and

opportunity, and when a fuvurabla moment
arrived he butchered his little mate with a
per.'ecl phreu?.y. We do not remember to
have ever rcid of a similar case of youthful
rovengc so long entertained and so fearfully
constimma led.
A Gentle Hint. In the Ictterof X,
the Baltimore Sun, of yesterday, wo find
suggestion worth some people's pondering
upon :
'There aro patriotic politicians who
would be delighted to set the North and
South by the ears, su they could still be per
mitted to act os leaders. The power, how.
ever, hos visibly departed from tins extreme,
and there ia tio Presidential arrangement
that can possibly mute the Abolitionist and
Disunion seccders on the same platform.
1 lis southern ultras may be plnscd to tee a
Frec-soilcr run for tho Presidency on his
own hook, and they may run a disunionist
with a view of carrying Ihe election in the
House; but tho consequence of such a
inanmuvrn would only insure the election of
Union Whig by the people by an over'
whelming majority. Tho minority can
neither change the vourso of laws nor make
a President.
Etiquette. Some modern writer givc3
the following ludicrous illustration of Span
ish dignity and attachment to etiquette. It
lakes l tic old hidalgos' to c'o up the stiff-
starch business to perfection; John Bull,
with his pompous, swaggering airs, and

The palace was once on fire; a soldier
who knew the King's sister was in her

.Spanish etiquette was here-wholly broken
into. The loyal soldier was brought lo
trial, and as it was impossible to deny that
he tmd entered her apartment, the jud-res
condemned him to die? Tho Spanish
