VliK INTELLIGENCER. I SATLiiDAY MORNING, FEB. 19, 1859. largest Circulation of any Paper in West ora Virginia. LOCAL MATTHs. jgr The Moon and the Oat Light.?Night before last was a curious sort of a night The intr in tho moon when it commenced to rain I went back in the house and closed the door upon I the darkness without, and did not notify the gas' folks here, with whom he occasionally acts in i concert. The gas folks, relying upon the prom ises of the moon, as distinctly set down in the Almanacs, supposed it to be shining, and did not light the lamps. The consequence was that we had no light on any subject Those members of the convenlijii from tbo mountains and the backwoods who so forgot themselves as to in dulge in too mach grog, went stumbling and' groping about through the streets, arm in arm, ! tmtinctirely feeling ahead with all fours to keep I out of the gutters. The gas caropany wasn't to blame, because they have no contract to light the lamps when the moon is expected to shine, ? nd because the dazzling light would only have rendered the foggy darkness more dense, and acted as Jack o-lanterns to lure the murky headed Swabians into worse places than they were able to Hnd in the blackness, even by the assistance of experienced pilots. If a broad, bright sun should havo flashed out in the mid dle of that night, Linden would have seen another sight J3T" Wathinglon't Birthday.?From all parts ol the country, we notice that preparations are be.ng made to celebrate in a becoming manner the twenty second of February. Nearly every one horse town in the country is to have its celebrations, but here no arrangements have been made to honor the day that gave birth to a Washington?the man who was "first in war, first in peace, first in the hearts or his country' men. Can wo not devote one dav to the mem ory of him who knew no north, no south, no east, no west, but was a patriot and union-lov ing citizen? ft is generally conceded that the people or this country have too few holidays. We are almost criminally addicted to the mere drudgery of lire. We livo to work, and work to live. Our reasons of relaxation from toil and care are .ike angel-visits, few and far between." And we may ask, in all seriousness, if it would not be well at once to add to the number that day which commemorates the advent of the imn.or tal Washington. Let it be a day ot rejoicing an.l still a season or deep and heart-felt solem nity. Let the minds of old and young be called fram the cankering cares, and especially from the frivolities or life, to a profound consideration of the teachings and acts of one whose life was a magnificent example, and whoso words or far seeing wisdom arc solemn warnings to guard us against the evils to which wo arc exposed. JIr. and J/rjt, /lull, a lady and gentle mand of color, live in what is known as tho old jal, or rather, they 'kind o' stay' there, living and existing, in the opinion of some people, being anything but synonomous. Mr. Hall is neces sarily absent from homo a good part of his time. Ho was absent yesterday morning, and Alexan der Drayden, a specimen or ebon lechery, knew it Alexander availed himself or the absence or Hall to tempt Mrs. H. from the course or fidelity which she had entertained Tor her hus band; fjrst by terms of endearment, then by slandering Hall with "falsehood, cowardice and low descent," and finaly by lucre. Mrs. flull grabbed a sausage cutter and would have cut the rascal ofi" even "in tho blossoms of his sins," had he not scaled the fence and put himself out of reach. Mrs. Hall was virtuously indignant. Mrs. Hall wanted vengeance. With check sup posed to be glowing with insulted modesty, an eye flashing firo, and a form quivering with an ger, she burst breathlessly into Aid. Wright's office and told tho story of her wrongs. Aid. W right fined Drayden three dollars and costs. Mrs. Hall was satisfied. The Clerk of the weather, says & repor torial contemporary, seems of lato to have changed sex, among us worldlings. As wo know the ladies ore struggling bravely to usurp niany of the positions and duties hitherto con sidered to belong to the "sterner sex," and there appears to have been a similar revolution in the "weather office."' At least we shouid judge so from the capricious charactor of the season.? W owan, according to Scott, is "uncertain, coy, and variable as tho shade, by the light quiver ins aspen made," and wo imagine that with a lndv installed as regulator of tho weather, these sudden vicissitudes from sunshine to storm, and from frost to thaw, could be easily accounted for. While this, or course is jest, the injurious affects of these variations in the atmosphere up on our peoplo are no joke. Every body seems to have a cold, and washerwomen are reaping a plentiful harvest from tho unlimited number of lunkerchicfc found in their weekly clothes bas kets. ^ ^ 15?"Mud.?The mud in the streets, owing to tho recent rains, has become so abundant as to make pedestriamism anything but pleasant or Msy, particularly to the fairer portion of crcatior] Some sacreligious wretch, who is still at large, ?nd who ought never to bo permitted to Took at the subjects of his verses, thus notes down bis observations on tho streets: ratline slllc?the knell of pirled gold w mi waring esse, tloats by me like a tea. When rising, |0 '?from many a lovely fold? grace appears to sunshine anil to me. Prom ont the ample hoops, invaluable shade, Where hear* twelve yards in many a graceful hsap, ?-??hin its place, as if. hair afraid? *eet like mice from out their lair do peep.

At once a pleating vision e'er resigned? rated a trim ankle on a muddy way, f?or cast one longing, lingering look behind? Sudden Death.?Wo regret to learn Of the rather sudden death of Mr. Thomas Cart Wright, an old and highly esteemed resident ol this city, which took place on Thursday night T3TThe Sunfifh Murder?A New Phase.? Tho end of llio SunHsh tragedy is not yet! Tho murder of Miss Tsapheno Allen is yet en veloped in mystery. Martin Troy has been tried and acquitted. lie proved a complete I alihi. Lie was at church and at home during the whole of the Sunday upon which the girl is alleged to have been murdered. But tho cvi dcnce adduced on the trial seems to implicate a certain Miss Jackson, who has been secured, and is now under arrest at Sunflsh. Her exam ination will take placo to-day, when it is ex pected that a witness will testify to having heard Miss Jackson confess to a knowledge of the murder, and she will be held as an accessory before the fact. Ihe Sunfish people are greatlv excited. All sorts of rumors aro afloat, but we prefer to wait until they shall assume some show of correctness before giving them curren cy. Troy is regarded as insane, and will be sent to the Lunatic Asylum at Columbus. The Ohio took a sudden swell yesterday, and got on a great high. There were twenty-ono feet iu tho channel lust evening, and the river was coming up and going down in a perfect flood. Railroad Detention.?The express train from the east yestesday, due at 10 o'clock, did not arrive until five in the evening. The de tention was occasioned by a heavy land slide at Barracksville.

W ASIll.VliTON, Feb. 18. , Senate.?1 ho only business of intcrent dur ing the morning hour was a report made by Mr. Poik, of Mo., from tho Committee on Foreign Relations, to pay Mr Squires, late charge do affairs to Guatemala, $4,0u0 as a compensation for extra services. The hill provoked much discussion, both for and against it. No decision ivas arrived at. Mr. Hunter, of Ya., endeavored to have the Consular Appropriations taken up, but the motion was defeated. The Private Calendar was then taken up by a vole of 28 yeas to 21 nays. After a fjw private bills, an important mes sage was received from the President, asking ti? confer on him power to uso the army and navv j to protect tho transit route. Partially debated j by Mason, Clingman, Benjamin, Douglas and I Davis, more or less in favor of it, and Seward ! and Fessenden throughly against it Without action tho Senato adj'd. Hoi-SB.?The House went into Committee on ' the Army appropriation bill. Mr. Stanton's (of Ohio) amendment, to strike ! out the appropriation for recruiting, on whic i he I proposed to test the sense of the members as to ; whether they were in favor of a reduction of ' tho army, was considered. During the debate Mr. Lovrjoy, of III., said I that he wanted to bull tho army between the horns so as to have merely a skeleton hanging up for tho study of practical anatomy; he was credibly informed and believed that the army was used to get up Indian wars and establish garrisons to advance the price uf town lotv; some months ago there was a great cry against tho Mormons and it was urged that they should be extinguished, merely because thev preferred white concubines to black. [Laughter.] He was proceeding to reply to Mr. Lowry's remarks of yesterday, about nominality, when he was called to order by Mr. Phelps, of Mo., for irrel evency. .Mr. I.ovjoy said, that tho point of or der always comes from the vast deep when the harpoon touches the blubber. Mr. Phelps, joining in tho laughter, said that he had only insisted on tho observance of the rules. Mr. Stanton's amendment was rejected ayes 35, noes not counted. Mr. Comin.s, of Mass., said that he did not desire our army to be liko the militia of Missis sippi, which, according to an editor of that State, had an abundance of officers, but no arms or privates. [Liughtor.J Mr. Davis, of Miss., replied that the people of his Stale were ablo to defend themselves without arms against northern or foreign inva ders with arms. Mr. Cornins said that ho did not intend to re Beet on the people of Mississippi. Mr. Washburne, ol 111., moved an amendment j' protecting the military reservations from trcs- I pass and stated that the Hock Island reservation j' was being stiipped or its timber and despoiled ' of its value and that tho War Department ?as making no adequate effort to protect it. After soino debate the amendment was rejected. Mr. Faulkner offered an amendment, cutting I off the brevet pay; he said that there existed Ihroucliout the country a strong Impression that the brevet rank is demoralizing and leads to subserviency and favoritism. Mr. Donham, of S. G\, trusted that this step would not be takon. It would cut down tho pay of the General commanding, Lieut. General Scott, who had fairly won every honoi that had been bestowed on hioj. The amendment was rejected?yeas 40, nays 30. The other amendments were acted on and the committee rose. Mr. Niohol; asked leave to offer the following: WuKituAS, in the correspondence of the N. Y. Daily of tho 10th of Feb., signed *'S.," ?nd also in other papers, it is charged that a member of tlio Committee on Accounts, made* bargain to receive money as a consideraiicn for passing certain claims thereof, and that subse quently the said member demanded money for lis services. ! t Wukkeas, It is further alleged that a member jf the said Committee compelled claimants to lgrce to give a portion of the appropriation in Lho bills passed before the Committee in consid eration for their allowance; thcrctore, llexolteJ, That a committee of 5 bo appoint :d to investigate ttie said chaiges and report be fore the close of the present session. The resolution was unanimously adopted.? The Douse the adjourned.

At tho end of tho room full length portraits of Victoria nnd Gen. Washing ton were suspended. The ball was opened by Lord Napier and Madame Van Limburgh, and Mr. Seward and Mrs. Conrad as their visavis.? Gen. Cass and Lady Napier intered the room together. The supper room was open at 11 o'clock. Col. Orr accompanied Lady Napier into tho supper, followed by Senators Mason, Gwin and Seward, accompanied by ladies.? Lord Napier accompanied Madame Sartigies; Count Sartigies accompanied Mrs. Gwin. Twelve hundred people were present. Tho President to-day transmitted a message to Congress as follows: To the Senate and 'Mount of Repyo?entatiru: The brief period which remains of your pres ent session, and the great urgency and import ance of legislative action before its termination fur the protection of American citizens and their property, whilst in transit across the Isth mus routes, between our Atlantic and Pacific possessions, renders it iny duty again to recall this subject to your notice. I have heretofore presented it in my annual messages, both of December 1857 and 1050, to which I beg leave to refer. In tho latter I state that the executive gov't of this country, in its intercourse with foreign nations, is limited io tho employment of diplo macy alone, where this fails it can proceed no further; it cannot legitimately resort to force without the direct authority of Congress, except in resisting and repelling hostile attacks; it would havu no authority to enter the territory of Nicaragua, even to prevent the destruction of transit and ti prot ct tho lives and property of our own citizens on their passages; it is true that on a sudden emergency of this character, the President would direct any armed force in the vicinity to march to their relief, but in do ing this he would act upon bis own responsi bility. I earnestly recommend to Congress the pass age of an aU authorizing the President, under such circumstances as they may deem proper, to employ the land and Naval forces in pre venting this transit from being obstructed or closed by lawless violence and in protecting the lives and property of American citizens travel ing thereupon, requiring at the same time that these forces shall be withdrawn the moment danger ahull have passed aw?v. Without such * provision our citizens will bo constantly ex posed to interference in their progress and to lawless violence. A similar necessity exists for the passage of such an act for the protection of the Panama and Tehuantopec routes. Another subject equally important commands the attention of the Senate. At the last session of Congress the republics South of the United States on this Continent b ?ve unfortunately been frequently in a state of revolution and civil war ever since they achieved their indepen dence. As one or the other party has prevailed and obtained possession of the ports open to? foreign commerce, they have seized and confis cated American vessels and their cargoes in an arbitrary and lawless manner and exacted mo ney from American citizens by foiled loans and other violent proceedings to enaole them to carry on hostilities. The executive government of Great Britain, France and other countries possessing the war making power can promptly employ the necessary means to enforce immedi ate redress for similar outrages upon their subjects. Not so with the government of the United States. If the President orders a vessel of wa*to any of these ports, to demand prompt redress for outrages committed, the offending parties are well aware that in case of refusal, the Comman der could do no more than remonstrate; he cannot resort to hostile act; the question must then be referred to diplomacy and in many cases ade quate redress can never be obtained; thus American citizens are deprived of the same pro tection under the flag of their country, which the subjects of other nations enjoy; the remedy for this state of things can only be supplied by Congress, since the constitution has confided to that body alone the power to make war. Without the authority of Congress the ex ecutive cannot lawfully direct any force, how ever near it may be to the scene of difficulty, to enter the Territory of Mexico, Nicaragua and New Grenada for the purpose of defending the persons and property of American citizens, even thongh they may bo violently assailed whilst passing in peaceful transit over the Te hauntepec, Nicaragua or Panama routes, lie cannot, without transcending his constitutional power, direct a gun to be fired into a port or land a seaman or murine to protect the lives of our countrymen on shore, or to obtain redress for a recent outrage on their property. The banditti which infests our neighboring Republic of Mexico, always claiming to belong to one or the other of the hostile parties, might make a sudden descent on the Vera CrucZ or Tehaun tepec route, and he would have no power to employ the force on ship board in the vicinity for their relief, either to prevent the plunder of our merchants or the destruction of the transit. In reference to countries where the local au thorities are strong enough to enforce the laws the difficulty here indicated can seldom happen, but where this is not the case and the local au thorities do not possess the physical power, even if they possess the will to protect our citizens within their limits, recent experience has shown that the American executive should itself be authorized to render this protection; such a errant of authority, thus limited in its extent, could, in no just sense, be regradud as a trans fer of the war making power to the executive, but only as an appropriate exercise of that pow ar by the body to whom it exclusively belongs. The riot at Panama in 7>6, in which a num ber of our citizens lost their lives, furnishes * pointed illustration of the necessity which may arise for the execution of this authority. [ therefore earnestly recommend to Congress, m whom the responsibility exclusively rests, to [>ass a law ??efore their adjournment conferring >n the President the power to protect the lives ind property of American citizens in the cases ?rhich I have indicated, under such restrictions ind conditions as they may deem advisable, the knowledge that such a law exists would of tself go far to prevent the outrages which it is ntended to icdress, and render the employment >f force unnecessary. Without thin the Presi Icnt of the United States may be placed in a gainful position before the meeting of Congress. In the present disturbed condition of Mexico ind one or more of the Republics south of us, io person can forsee what occurences may take ilacc before that period; in case of emergency >ur citizens seeing that they do not enjay the >amc protection with subjects of Kuiopean gov'ts, will have just cause to complain, on the ithcr hand, should the executive interpose and especially should the re>ult prove disastrous and raluablo lives be lost, ho might subject himself :o sever censure for having asumed a power not :onfided to him by the constiiution; it is to ;uard against this coutingeucy that I now ap peal to Congress. Having thus recommended to Congress a ncastiro which I deem necessary and expedient "or the interests and honor of the country, ( eave the whole subject to their wisdom and dis :retion. (Signed.)
