From the National intelligence.

From one or two articles in the Rich
mond Enquirer, last received, we gather
that there is some excitement among the
members of the General Assembly of Vir-
GINA, now 10 session, on the rumour, from
Washington, of a project being on foot for
a compromise of conflicting opinions, in
congress, on the Missouri question. There
was, a few evenings ago, meeting Of mem
bers ofthe Legislature, to nominate fit per
sons to compose the republican ticket Of
electors of president and vice presiden, Of
the United States, at the ensuing election.
That meeting adjourned, without effecting
this object, TO future day, with the avow-
ed intention of awaiting, before they came
to nomination, further Information from
Washington respecting the Missouri ques-
ton
What bearing this question is to have
on the approaching presidential election,
we are yet TO understand; though this is
not the first intimation we have seen In thu
public prints, of relation of the one ques
ton to the other. But, since the subject
of compromise is mentioned, it may be
proper to state, that there has been good
deal of conversation among the members
of congress on this subject; and that there
are some Of those, most decidedly oppo-
sed to interfering with the constitution of
new state in the mode proposed, who are
not adverse TO a prohibition of the future
transportation of slaves Into the Terrific
riss of the United States-meaning there
by the territory not included within any
of the states Of the union. This is what is
spoken of as a compromise. What will
be the result, however, of this whole pro-
ceeding, is at present entirely uncertain.
Having mentioned the opinions 10 con-
gress on the Missouri question, this may
be fit occasion TO say few words re-
specting the vote 10 the senate on the mo-
ton Of Mr.. Roberts to re-commit the re-
port of the committee who recommended
the union of Maine aud Missouri. We
were, at the time, under the Impression that
all the members of the senate who voted
on that question 10 the negative, we're in
favor Of an union Of the two states ia one
bill. We are now better informed, and ia
consequence of the abuse levelled in some
ofthe eastern prints,at MIR. Palmer and Mr..
Parrot, we think it proper to state, that
those gentlemen are not in favor OF the pro-
posed union !; that they have voed against
Mr. Roberts motion, because, 10 their
opinion, it would determine nothing, but
would have The effect to procrastinate
question which they preferred to meet di-
rectly. as already presented to the senate
by the report of the Judiciary committee.

TowANpA, (Pa.l Feb. S.

Dreadful calamity lit becomes our
duty, however painful the task, to give an
account OF melancholy circumstance
which lately occurred 10 this county. On
the 28lh ult. the house Of Mr.. Austin Kel-
logg, 10 SmithfeId, was destroyed by fire,
and in ii his wife and only child (about 5
weeks oId). The circumstances as stated
TO us are briefly these. Mrs. Kellogg,
with girl, her sister, were hatchelling flax
near the hearth, when coal from the chin
uey communicated fire to the flax, large
quantity OF which was in the room--they
tried various methods to extinguish the
flame, but finding their efforts vain, the
girl left the house and ran to the black
smiths shop OF Mr.. Kellogg, the husband,
from Is to 20 rods distant, ard alarmed
him and two other men then at work. AL
the instant the girl left the house, Mrs.
Kellogg is supposed TO have gone TO an
adjoining room for the purpose Of saving
some furniture Of value. and neglected the
precaution Of closing the doors after her e
keep back the fire from that room.
On the arrival of the men, the whole
house was completely filled with flame,and
The roof in several places on fire. Their
| first object of course, was 10 save the en-
fortunate woman and her child, and seve
raj times called upon her name in hopes
that she would appear at one Of the wiz
dows, but called 10 no effect-she was dis
covered with her child lying near win
dow Of the room joining the one in whici
the fire commenced, from which she bad
probably attempted to escape. The win
dow was Immediately broken, but from
the fury OF the flames some time elapsed
before the bodies could be taken from the
house; in the mean time snow was ihrowu
on them to prevent them from consuming.
The bodies were at length taken from The
ruins. The child was dead, but not much
disfgured. The limbs and the heshy part
Of the head of the woman were consumed,
affording shocking spectacle TO the neigh
| hors, who had by this time arrived to Wit
| ness the dreadful scene. What then must
have been the feelings ofthe miserable hus.
band and father, on the instantaneous trans
ition from happiness, in the possession Of
an amiable and intelligent wife and cheer
full home. to the sickeniug prospect of his
house In ruins, from which were dragged
the mutilated and shapeless form of his be.
loved partner. and The dead body Of her
innocent child! Some idea can be formee
of his feelings from The circumstance tina
it required the strength of two men to pre-
vent him from sacrificing himself in tn.
flames which had destroyed the hopes o
his life.
Mrs. Kellogg was young woman and
highly respected by all her acquaintance

Wednesday morning Of last week. 1t APP
pears that soon after the family, six in
number, had taken breakfast, they were
all attacked with violent internal pains and
excessive vomiting. which excited great
alarm, when ply sicians we're called, and
i was ascertained that large quantity Of
arsenic had been put into the tea and cot
fee kettles, from which they had all drank;
but happily the dose was so large as to de-
feat the intended object. A lad who resi-
ded with capt. Sanford, as an assistant in
bis store, it seems had been detected in
purloining money TO trifling amount, and
who, at the exposure Of the fault, had man

grounds, suspected Of being the perpetra-

Grooming, Crying, &c.--A French sur
geon has published long dissertation on
the beneficial influence Of groaning and
crying Oh the nervous system. He con.
tends that groaning aud crying are the two
grand operations by which nature allays
anguish; aud that he has uniformly obser-
we'd that those patients who gave way to
their natural feelings, more speedily re-
cover from accidents and operations, than
those who suppose that it is unworthy a
man TO betray such symptoms of coward
ice as either TO groan or cry. He is al
ways pleased by the crying and violent
roaring OF patient during the time he is
undergoing surgical operation, because
he is satisfied that he will thereby SO sooth
his nervous system, as to prevent fever and
ensure favourable termination. From the
benefit hysterical and other nervous pa.
tients derive from crying or grooming, he
supposes that :" by these processes of ma.
ture," the superintendent nervous power is
exhausted, aud that the nervous system is
10 consequence rendered calm, aud even
the circulation fthe blood greatly dimin-
ished. He relates case Of man, who.
by means Of crying and bawling, reduced
his pulse from 100 to go in the course Of
two hours. That some patients often have
a great satisfaction in grooming and that
hysterical patients often experience great
