He said that this bill would supersede the bill known as the Homestead, and approached nearer thanany other measure to giving a homestead to every actual settler. . . .. Mr. Cooper, from the Committee on Indian Affairs, to whom had been referred the charges preferred against Governor Ramsey, late Su perintendent of Indian Affairs in Minnesota, made a report, unanimously absolving him from all blame and impropriety of oonduot. Oa motion of Mr. Douglas, the Senate pro ceeded to the consideration of the Nebraska bl*Mr. Douglae said, that the friends of the bill, under the supposition that the opponents of the ilneasure had got through with their opposition, had ooneluded to devote from now till Wednesday next to its discussion, when they expeoted to have a vote on it on that day Mr. Chase reminded the Senate that he had several amendments yet to offer to the bill, though he would offer no improper obstacle to taking a vote on it. Mr. Hunter said that oomplainte had been made that this question had been thrust upon the Senate, but it had not been. No man wish ed or desided to do to, but the question wa? unavoidable under the oiroumstanoes. It was tho natural result and oonsequence of the course adopted in 1850, in the framing of what are styled the Compromise acts of that year. The majority in the Senate, and in the House, and in the oountry, who professed to support those measures, could not reluse to vote the repeal of the Missouri prohibition without great inconsistency. The Missouri controversy was settled by a dividing line. The South since that time, though opposed to it at the time, has always been disposed to abide by it. In the Texas and Oregon bills, and in 1850 the South proposed and stood by it; in the latter two cases, the North refused it, and voted ?t down. In 1850, the North allowed a few people upon the Fa cific not only to be admitted into the Union, but to take suoh portions of the publio territo rv as they thought lit, and appropriate them to their own use. In no other oa* did Longre* bv aside the right of determining the bounda rise of a State. The South acquiesced in tb.-e measures, though it was practically excluded from every foot of the Territory. In return for this, they got tho assertion of the right ot the people to regulate their own domeetio rela tions. All that was now asked by this bill was to carry that same prinuiple to other tor rttory. It wan asking th? North to do nothing more than lie consistent. He denied that the Missouri aot was either a nam promise or a oompaot; it was the act of the North, and opposed by the great l>ody of tho South. But if it was a Compromise, by the subsequent refusal by the North U> reoogmee it, the South was discharged from all obligations undar it. h, He rend the votes on the several propositions made from 1818 to 1821, showing thai the Missouri Compromise was the aot of the North, and not of the South If it was a compact, how was it that the North had violated it m 1821, by refusing to admit Missouri. He argued at length the unconstitutionality of the power of Congress to prohibit Slavery. The Constitution of the United States, ?b?ve all other things, secured the equality of the people of all the States. How could the equsJ its of the States be maintained, if the neopl" of one-half of the States were excluded from the right of use and occupation of the Temto ries ol the whole nation. . He oontended f >r the principle of allowing the people of the Territories the full privilege of regulating their own domeetio oonocrns The South would derive no practioal benefit from this measure, for he had not the ?ightost idea that Nebraska or Kansas would evw be come a slave State. He thought tU Jiffoafon of the slaves now in the country would lead to no danger to the North, and to the better oon dition of Inith stave and master. He at length portrayed the probable future of this country, and the necessity for peace and harmony in our National Councils, in meeting the exigencies of the future. r ., Mr. Butler then followed m support of the bill. Hatue of Reprtvntaiivts, Ftb. 24, 1854. Mr.' Waehbiirnc, of Illinois, introduced h bill to divide ths State of Illinois into two judi cial districts. Referred Mr. Strattnn presented certain resolutions of the Legislature of New Jersey, in favor of ex tending the bestowal of bounty lands upon nol diers and sailors in the war of 1812. Mr Faulkner presented certain resolution h of the State of Virginia, on various (ubjeots ; which were reed, and referred to appropriate committee* Mr. Rissell moved tha appointment of a Com mittee of Conferenoa, on tne part of tha House, on the resolutions granting rolief to the United Stats* offioers and soldier* on board the steam er San Francisco in its late disaster; which was agreed to. Mr. Stanton, of Kentucky, from tho Cum j mittee on Flections, made a report on the con test of Wm. Carr Lane, for the seat as Dele gate of New Mtxioo, now oocupisd bj Jose Kmanuel Gallegos, adverse to the claims of Mr. Lane. A resolution in aeoordance with this report was adopted. On motion of Mr. Orr, the ooneideration of the bill granting lands to Wisconsin, for rail i road purposes, was postponed until Tussday next.

The undersigned, having been appointed sole Agent in the UniUd States for the sale of Charles Frodshum s Improved Timekeepers, would respectftilly call uublio attention to his extensive and valuable stook or Com pensated Chronometer Watches, made by Charles Prodsham, and styled his "New Series." In the Watches of the new series, Mr. Frodsham has sue* ceeded?by a more perfect method of compensation, a more oorroct adjustment in isochronism, and an en tirely new and peculiar construction of the brain, by which more power is obtained without inorease of site?in producing timekeepers of wonderful and un rivalled accuracy. The great importance of the im proved Watches is a perfeot regularity of time, under every variety of climate, motion, and position. So perfeot are the adjustments, that the most violent ex ercise?suoh as horseback riding, jumping, Ac?pro duces on them no sensible oft'eot. They are therefore peculiarly adapted to railroad purposes. The sciontinc French critic, Mons. Boraendorf, in his review of the Great London Exhibition of 1851, styles the contribution of Mr. Charles Prodsham as " bearing the stamp of peculiar merit, and as being the flower of the English sohool." The British Government have awarded Messrs. Arnold and Charles Prodsham the sum of ?3,170, for the excellence of the principle of their timekeepers. One of Mr. Frodsnam's correspondents writes as follows: Loudon, April 20, 1862. Sia : I have much pleasure in giving an account of the Gold Compensation Lever Waton, No. 3,335, you have made for me, and in which I expressly stip ulated that it should maintain a uniform rate ef going under every variety of motion and olimate. This it has done in a most remarkable manner; Its rate of going for the first six months was five seconds per month, and.in the next six months it ohanged its rate a little faster, vis: eight seconds per month, and at the end of 305 days it was found to be fast of Green wich mean time one minute and fifteen seconds. Though I was not led by any previous promise to ex pect such performance, yet I believe it is only the usual character of your improved watches, which you term your "new series." I remain, sir, yours, respectfully, Thomas Bartlxtt. To Mr. Charles Frodsham. The undersigned has received the following: Boston, October 6, 1863. Sir : I herewith give you an account of the re markable performance of the watch I purchased of you, made by Charles Frodsham, No. 7,014. Its total variation for 17 months, by weekly observations, was but one minute and fifty-five seconds. Tours, respectfully, Bilxinss Baieas. To Mr. Simon Willard. Boston, September 3,1853. The Compensated Lever W atch I purchased of'you, made by Charles Frodsham, of London, No. 7,300, has varied but thirty seoonds from mean time in six months, by actual daily comparison with your regu lator. Yours, Ac., Alvin Adams. Mr. Simon Willard. The undersigned is permitted to refer to the follow ing gentlemen, who, among many others, have proved the excellence of Frodsham's Watches as time keep ers: Enoch Train, Esq. Wm. Whiting, Esq. E. 0. Bates, Esq. Geo. M. Thacher, Esq. F. W. Thayer, Esq. David Dyer, Esq. E. F. Osborne, Esq., 1 Sandusky, Eben. Lane, Esq, j Ohio.

To those persons who may visit Washington, and are in want of a boot that cannot bo excelled, either in quality or workmanship, we would oall their atten tion to the card of Henry Janney, to be found under the head of " Washington." Ahandsomo and neat ly-mado boot is not at all timos a souroe of pleasure to the wearer, but ofton one of extreme torturo; this is caused by the bungling manner in which tho boot is fitted to the foot Mr. Janney has devoted much of hia time in studying the construction of the human foot, in order to ascertain how a boot should bo cut and fitted, that will be perfectly easy to all parts of the foot. In this he haa sucoeeded, so that it matters not what may bo the shape of. or tho number of corns on the foot, hia boot is perfectly eaay. Thus ho has combined beauty with comfort.
