SENATE.
February 8.

The Senate proceeded to the conside-
ration of the bill supplementary to the
several acts for adjusting the claims to
land, and establishing Land Offices, in
the districts cast of the Island Of New
Orleans"
The LIST, ID, and Sd sections confirm
the reports of the Commissioners APP
pointed by the act 10 which this is a sup
plem cnt, and grant donations Of land to
actual settlers prior to the date of the &C
cupation of the territory by the United
States, viz: April IS, 1915. The 4;i
section proposes that all actual settlers
prior to the Sd day OF March, 1919, shall
be entitled to a prescription right TO the
land Gu which they are settled, not ex-
ceeding $40 acres each.
The committee OH Public Lands had
reported recommendation to strike out
the 18th section, and several subsequent
sections corresponding with it.
Ga this recommendation there arose
debate, il which great carnestness,
and, considering the dryness Of the sub
jcct, much eloqucnce was employed.
The recommendation Of the commit
tee was opposed by Mr.. II. JOHNSON
and Mr.. Brown of Louisiana, Mr.. BEN
TON OF Missouri, Mr.. EDWARDS OF Hi
nois, and Mr.. WALKER of A labama and
supported by Mr.. LowRY, Mr.. CrIs and
Mr.. EAToN.
The field which was covered by this
debate was wide, and fully explored.
The main reliance Of the louisiana Dele
cation and their friends was on the act
of Congress inviting these claimants to
come forward and register their names,
and proof OF occupancy, and on the pre-
vious practice of the government in ana
Joyous cases. On the other hand was
presented the act Of Congress forbid
ding settlements on the public lands,
the expediency of a systematic obscrv
ance of the land laws for the future, and
the inexpediency of lesisIaling as pro-
posed for any one section of the unset
tied country in preference to any other.
The recommendation of the Commit
tee Oh Public lands was agreed to, , to
IA.
The bill was then gone through and
postponed to Thursday, to allow time
for preparing certain amendments which
Mr.. Thomas intimated his intention tc
offer.

HE GENIUS OF REFORM IS MAKING A
BOLD MARCH. Economy is becoming the
order of the day"
This country has erhofted much more
than it has imhorted within the past year,
and the calculations for the present one,
give a handsome balance in its favor
We are proud to see most ofour citizens,
not only farmers, but mechanics, pro-
fessional men, and even some of the mer-
chants clothed in homespun. This spirit
Tor domestic manufactures, pervades our
town as we'll as country.-In several
wealthy families within our knowledge,
in which the music Of the wheel had ne
ver been heard before, as much as 200
yards of fax, cotton and wooden cloths
have lately been made, and substituted in
the place of foreign fabrics.--Thus the
tyrant fashion is beginning TO declare in
our fayor.-Ths is as it should be, and
we devoutly wish it may prosper, and
prosper till we are really independent.
Solomon discovered that idleness CO.
vers man with rags" The people OF
the west have discovered more. Rueful
experience has taught them, that though
they are ever SO industrious, yet as long
as they wear British broad cloths, French
silks, Flanders laces, Canton grapes, and
Lcghorn bonnets, iflhey should have any
thing at all to put in their pockets, it will
be only--rags. us all unite then in
disconntenancing system which has not
only brought poverty, but odium on US as
a people.
Let US not only " vcnerate," but drive
the plough and prevail on our wives and
daughters, like the lovely and virtuous
Andromache TO guide the spindle and
direct the loom," and we shall find much
more substantial relief than any legisla-
ture can give. we hope Congress will
do their duty,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
SaturduU FEB. Q.

Among the petitions this day present
cd was memorial, by Mr.. Baidzyin,
from +" The Western Missionary Socie-
w. in the state of Pennsylvania, praying
for the grant or pre-emption OF a tract
of land in the neigh5crhood of the princi-
pal Indian settlement, to aid the object OF
extending the knowledge of the Chris
tan religion and the arts of civilized life.
The memorial was read, and Mr..
Baldwin moved that it be referred to the
committee on the Public Lands.
Mr.. Woyd proposed to amend the
motion by referring it to the committee
Oh Indian Affairs, instead of the commit.
ice on the Public Lands.
These motions gave rise to little dc.
bate, which is sketched below.
Mr.. FLOYD expressed his regret that
this petition had been presented; but,
since it had been offered, he hoped il
would be referred to the committee on

" satisfied with the flesh Of man, will
come to partake of the banquet that has
been prepared for him with so much So
of this hideous thought | heard low
and undlersouHd in the earth over me, aud
iancied that the worms and the reptiles
of death where coming--and the mole
and the rat of the grave would soon be
upon me. The sound continued to grow
louder and nearer Can it be possible |
thought, that my friends suspect they
have buried me too soon +? The hope was
truly like light bursting through the
gloom OF death.
The sound ceased, and presently l
felt tie hands OF some dreadful being
about my throat. They dragged me
Out of the coffin by the head. | felt
again the living air, but it was piercingly
cold; and | was carried swiftly away
thought to Judgment, perhaps perdi-
ton.
When borne TO some distance, I was
then thrown down like clod--it was
not on The ground. A moment after,
found myself on a carriage, and, by the
interchange OF two or three brief senten-
ces, discovered that was in the hands
Of Two Of those robbers who live by plum
dering the graves, and selling the bodies
of parents, and children, and friends
One ofthe men sung snatches and scraps
OF obscene songs, as the cart ratified over
the payepl emf Of tho street
When it halted, was lifted out, and
| soon perceived, b. the closeness CT the
air, and the change of temperature, that
| was carried into room; and being
rudely strlpt of my shroud, was placed
naked Oh the table. BY the conversation
of the two fellows with the servant who
admitted them, ! learnt that was that
night to be dissectcd.
My eyes where still shut, I saw no.
thing; but in a short time, | heard by the
hustle in the room, that the students Of
anatomy were assembling. Some ofthem
came around the table, and examined me
infinitely. They were pleased to find
that SO good subject had been procur-
ed.-The demonstrator at last came
in.
Previous to the beginning the dissec-
ton, he proposed to try on Inc some gal
vanic experlment-and an apparatus was
arranged for the purpose. The first
shock vibrated through all my nerves
they rung and tangled like string Of a
harp. The second shock threw my eyes
open, and The first person saw was the
doctor who had attended me. But stu
| was as dead | could, however, disco
yer among the students the faces Of many
with whom was familiar; and when my
eyes were opened, | heard my name pro-
bounced by several of the students, with
an accent of awe and compassion, and
wish that it had been some other Sub
ject.
When they had satisfied themselves
with the gavanic phenomena, the de-
monstrator took the knife and pierced
me on the bosom with the point. |
felt a dreadful cracking, as it were
throughout my whole framc--a convul-
sive shuddering instantly followed, and a
Shrek of horror rose from all present.
The ice Of death was broken up--my
trance ended. The utmost cxer.ions
were made to restore me, and in the
course of an hour | was in full posses
sion of all my faculties.

SIa--The premature decay of our
trees, particularly those Of the fruit bear
ing kinds, is indeed matter OF serious
regret, and demands our pointed atten-
ton. | hope that the important COM
mi,tee over which you preside, will, in
their researches, make some discoveries
that may prove of peculiar benefit to So
ciety. Iconsider it a privilege to belong
to such a committee, and will most cheer
fully throw in my little store of know
ledge. In most cases of decay that have
come under my notice, l have found a
collection Of some kind of vermin, which
l supposed to be the cause of disease /;
but ON more close examination am
of opinion, that in some instances it is
only the consequence, especially as it
relates to the morello cherry. The dis
ease which has proved SO fatal to that
tree, is first observed by the formation of
eXcresences in the outer branches. and
even in the stems of very young trees.
In these excresences are lodged num-
Der of small whitish worms, which took
to be, and | believe many others think is,
the cause Of the decay; but being in
formed that securing the bark was use
full, and the informer being unable to
to give me any reason why it was so,
was induced to look further into the
case, whereuponI discovered, that the
Jumps or excresences were formed about
month before the worms commenced
