""Washington, Dec. 13. The Ko"uth
resolution passed ihe Senate lost evpningby
m vote of thirty three to six, at I informed
you by telegraph.
It passed in ihe form proposed by Mr.
Seward, as a joint resolution of Congress,
welcoming Kussulll to llie Capilcl and the
country.
A debute sprung up in the Hntie the
other day, upon the policy of the grants n(
" public lands to the new Siutes fur ihciT Rail
Roads. This policy is now so well estab-
lished that it will bo difficult to resist it.
Large grants will bo made this session, it
it supposed. The old States, by way of
rcc'ivlng a 1:110 share in ilia benefits of the
publie domain, mny possibly combine their
influence in favor of some grants fur their
own improvement.

notice, nrge his eompmnsise resolution.
He considers thnl llicir practical tffeCt is

round us in their true light, wo should see
beauty where we beheld deformity, and
listen to harmony where we heard nothing
but discord. To be sure there is a great
deal of vexation and anxiety to meet; we
cannot sail upon a summer coat forever;
yet if we preserve a calm eye and a steady
hand, we can so trim our sails and manage
our holm, as to avoid the quicknnds, end
weather the storm dial threaten shipwreck.
We are members of one great fmiily; we
re traveling the same road, and shall ar
rive at Ihe same goal. We breathe the
ame air, are subject to the same bounty,
eaasjl taja disk II tin liisUffl II mm lh bosom of
our common mother. It is not becoming,
, then, that brother should hate brother; il is
not pn per that friend should deceive friend;
it is not right that neighbor should deceive
neighbor. We piy that man who can liar,
bur enmity against his fellow; he lose hall
the enjoyment of life; he embitters his own
-existence. Let us tear from our eres ihe
colored medium that invests every object
with ihe green hueof jealousy and suspicion;
turn a deaf ear to scandal; breathe the spirit
of charity from our hearts; let the rich
gushing of human kindness swell up as
fountain, so that the "golden age" will be
come no fiction, and islands of the blessed
bloom in more than Hypernian beauty."
The St. Louis Inleltigmcer says that the
work of laying the telegraph wire across

cessfully accomplished on the 4h intsnt
The wire was insulated in a thick casing of
lead pipe, and laid safely along ihe bottom
f ihe river, from on 9 shore to the other.
Heretofore it has been necessary to cross
and recross the river in boats, which was
Headed with great inconvenience and delay.

WAsiiiNoiatr, Dec. 5.
Mr. Po"te'e resolution confirming the
Compromise will crime Up today, and Mr.
Fuote has but four working days left of the
lime which he had assljned for hts contin
uance at his post in the Senate. Ho will
press his proposition With his oeci)9tomed
ardor, and endeavor to reaflh his great ob
ject a Vote oft it by J'eas snd nays in full
Senile. His purpose is, as he has stated
in his remarks, to obtain a vote on the sub
ject of the Fugitive Slave measure to
obtain a renewed pledse of the faithful ex
ecution of that net from Senaiors of the
non-slaveholdiiiS Slates. That is the main
object of his resolution, as he states, for he
considers thnt the other adjustment meas
ures have been carried into cxpeuiion( and
are beyond ijuesilort. After Mr. Rhett and
others hall have spoken, a motion will be
made to lay Ihe subject an the table, with
doubtful success; for while there are many
Senaiors who are opposed io retriving the
question, or to recording their votes either
in approval or condemnation or the Com
promise measures, there aie some slso who
covet the opportunity to give a vote direct
ly Hgainst them, or for them.
The number of parties and interests rep
resented in the Senate will afford a source
of 0 flood of debates, for a long session,
even should not new questions arise, to
furnish a fresh supply o( material. There
are also thrf e permanent candidates for the
next Presidency In the Senate, Gen. Hous
ton, Gen. Cuss, nnd Juibe Douglas, and
also the representatives of nt least five oili
er candidates, and none of these will be
snnrin" of words or of lirciects.
- 1 n
The rumor is revived, and with some
plausibility, that Mr. Fillrnote intends to
withdraw himself, by some public declara
tion, from the Presidential contest, thus
leavina his friend Iree to lake up any olher
candidate who may represent their princi
ples and interests.
The inte tests of commerce will receive,
at this session, special attention from Con
sress. Several appropriations for deepen
ing channels, nnd improving harbors, and
removing obstructions from Ihe navisation
of rivers may be expected at this sessin.
Mr. Corwin has not yet presented his
Treasury report in consequence of indis
position. The value of the Cotton exported during
the last year, I stated the olher day to have
been ascertained b; correct returns, to be
812,50 per hundred pounds. I now find
that the averaae Cost was 12 16-100 cents
a pound. The quantity was 2,003,507
bales, averaging 444 pounds a bale. The
amount and cost do 1101 exceed ihe first re
turns of ihe Collectors, which was thought
to be exaggerated or erroneous. The
amount of Cotton exported was. therefore,
over 8 U 1.000.000.
Mr. Clay was well enough to attend the
Supreme Court on Friday, and on Monday
he will, il Ins health permit, close the ar
gument in an important Kentucky case, in
which he is counsel.
The Christiana trials have resulted, as
was expected, in the acquittal of those ar
raigned from the charge of treason; but
ihey are to be nied by ihe State CouMs on
lite charge of riot and murder. It is quite
necessary that the laws of ihe United
Slates defining crimes intended to be nude
punishable, and prescribing the punishment
to be inflicted, should be revised and per
fected. The President urgently recom
mends this in his inessige. Cor. Char.
Cour.

Jaurrqui, with a force of 030 mixed soldiers
and Seminole, nnd two pUces of artillery
took up his quarters in the Plaza of Mier the
night previous, and commenced fur'i'ying
the town. Carvujal had despatched a cour

who might be on this side of ihe river, to
join him at once. Gen. Carvujal marched

Kind words in the Family. There ore
few families, we imagine, any wl.cre, in
which love is not n bused as furnishing a
license Tnr impoliteness. A husband, father,
or brother, will speok harsh words to those
whom he loves the best, simply because the
security uf love and family pride keeps him
from getting his head broken. It is a shame
that a man will speak more impolitely, at
times, to his wife or his siier, than he
would c'nre to nny female, except a low
vicious one. It is thus that the holiest
nirectiohs of man's nature prove tu bo a
weaker protection to woman in the fjtnily
circle, than the restraints of society; and
that a woman, usually, is indebted for the
kindest politeness of life to thosu not bo
longing to her household. Things ought
nut so to be. The man who, becauso it will
not '.e resented, inflicts his spleen and bad
tempisr upon those of his hearthstone, is a
small coward and a very mean man. Kind
wods are the circulating medium between
irue gentlemen nnd trim Indies, nt home,
and no polish exhibited in society enn atone
for tho hard and disrespectful treatment too
often indulged in between Ihosa bound to
gelhnr by God's own ties of blond, nnd the
still more tacred bonds of conjugal love.
Sign of Character. A man who ha
bitually speaks disparagingly of the female
'character gives conclusive evidence that
there is something wrong in his own, and
also shows the class of IjhuIch with whom
ho has been in the habit of associating. A
true man alwr.ys has a high ideal of female
excellence, and cherishes it with a rcp ct
bordering on worship. Wo must perhaps
make some allowance for old bachelors who
cannot get wives.

they expend everv year d"iihle the revenue
