a Preamble and Resolutions from the Sen

ing the sum of ten thousand dollars OF SIX
per cent stock, rcdcemable in the year
1850, to the legal Representatives, for the
benefit of the heirs of THOMAS JEFFER-
SON. On the motion being put they pass
ed unanimously. They had passed the Sen
ate with nearly the same unanimity.
The following letter details the circum-
stances which attended the passage of the

Extract of a letter from Columbia, s. c.,

"I wrote YOU by the last mail of the sue
cess of the appropriation of $1,000 to Mrs.
Randolph in our Senate, and ventured to
predict that it would succeed in the House.
It has done so But the next day, (yester-
dav.0 when the question occurred on the
appropriation bill, there was an unexpected
and serious opposition to it. Seven gentle
men. the number required by the rules OF
the House, rose to demand the ayes and
noes. Upon this the matter was discussed ;
and then the Speaker asked, will seven gen
tlemen rise tor the ayes and noes! -Four

a shout re-echoed through the House
bursting from the warm hearts of those no.

great victory. Mutual congratulations were
exchanged, and they grasped each others
hands, and called out across the Hall, in the
forgetfulness of the gravity of their station.

a distance of 300 yards. The inventors are two

On Monday last, according to established u.s.
age on NewYear's day, the Presidents house
was open for the reception of visitors, when,
Notwithstanding the day was extremely cold,
the President received the congratulations of a
larger number than it is believed was ever assem-
bled any similar, or other occasion, in the Ex-
ccutive mansion: all the rooms, including the
great eastern room, as well as the large Hall,
were crowded to excess, for several hours, al
| though there was a constant change of the COM
pany, occasioned by the retiring some, and the
entrance of others. The foreign ministers gen.
orally were present, with the members of their
respective legations; all the heads of Depart
ments, the members of both Houses ofCongress,
the principal and other officers of the govern
mcnt, civil military, and naval, besides an i'm
mense number ofstrangcrs, amounting to sever
al thousands. The annual interchange of salu-
tations between the President of the United
States and the citizens, on the commencement
of the year, gives to the day the peculiar charac
ter of a Republican festival; the observance u
which, we trust, will never be discontinued.
