BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRlFlCE
This is an elegant and pleasant preparation IN every
re,pect and has for many years past given universal
satisfaction wherever it has been used
The Antiseptic Dentri6ce is exempt from acid and
other deeterious ingredients, which too frequently
enter the composition of tooth powders IN common
use and il whtens the enamel Ut the teeth without
doing il the least injury. The regular use OF this ad-
mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
the accumulation of tartar operates as the best pre-
yensiye of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrihce removes
dscoloratons and restores the beautiful native white
ness Of the enamel. As its application braces and
strengthens The Gums it secures to the their healthy
and erd hue and, by removing all offensive foreign
accommodations from the teeth, preserves the nsturai
sweetness of the breath. PricA 50 cents

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate or Friday, the resolutions rela-
tive to the affairs of the Post Office were taken
up, and a debate of great interest and earnest
ness, begun in the morning session, was resum-
ed in the evening" and continued with great ear
nestness, animation, and even vehemence. Mr..
EWING led off the debate
In the House Of Representatives, a great va
riety of business was acted on in the course OF
the day and night amongst which the bill tor
paying certain Georgia Claims was, after de-
bate, passed by vote Of SO to60; the Fortiica
ton Bill was also passed; the Light House Bill
was passed, by 105 votes to 81; the West Point
Appropriation Bill was passed, 119 to 55 These
bills also have passed the Senate
In the same body the bill from the Senate APP
proprating 10000 dollars for the relief of the
City of Washington, in regard to the Canal debt,
was finally passed, by vote Of 98.to IS.
Two bills relating to the Indian Department
passed the House. The first bill reduces the ex-
renditure of the Indian Department more than
one half From a table annexed to the report,
it appears that the average annual expenditures
of the last five years was $148,274. By this bill
it will be reduced to $6l,65O.
Both Houses Of Congress were actively en-
gagged on Saturday, to the latest hour that we
heard from Washington, in passing various
bills and acting upon unfinished business-par-
ticuars of which will hereafter be given. The
Alexandria Canal Bill was in the House of
Representatives on Friday night ordered to be
engrossed and read a third time by vote of SO
to 81. The next day it was called up and laid
over. The bill will stand in this situation at
the mex, session, when the first question will be
on its passage. We understand many Of the
friends Of the bill were absent upon the taking
Of the question on the engrossment.

The Young Nen.-It is grateful to the patriot,
in surveying the widespread corruptions OF the
present Administration, to find the young men,
mall parts of the country, rallying in support OF
the Constitution and the Laws, and in opposi-
ton to the lawless conduct of the Government.
There is an absence of vicious tendency in the
young they are not, like the hackneyed in poll

graced, and its property destroyed, and all this

This is encouraging, and gives hope, that,
however the political gamblers Of the age may
throw for power and place, thatthe honor of the

~ Renovating Liquid, for extracting all kinds

No danger need be apprehended in using it
upon the finest and most delicate Silks-nor is
it like the soaps so commonly advertised in our
day, which, by removing one evil, almost in
variably produce another of double size; nor
does it require the preparatory means of all
other renovators-such. as hot irons and the
like. Only little clean water, according to the
direction, is wanting.
Oil or Grease Of any kind can be extracted
from the most delicate colored carpets without
the usual trouble Of taking them up If used
according to the directions, it will at once ex-
tract every particle of grease from the finest
Cloth, most delicate Silks without injur-

The House of Repr esentatives, on Thursday,
proceeded to the bill to enable the Secretary
of State to purchase the books and papers of
General Washington.
Mr.. PEARSON, of New York, moved to amend
the bill BY striking out $25,oOo and inserting
$4,000
Mr.. WILDE described the papers TO be pur-
chased,.(whieh consist of upwards of 200 ma
auscript volumes, in folio, chronologically ar
ranged, and strongly bound.) Among other in
teresting papers, the volumes contained duph-
cate lists of all the officers of the American ar
my who held their commissions at the time the
army was disbanded. As the only other copy of
these lists had been consumed in the destruction
of the War Office, they now furnished the only
means of checking false claims 10 pensions,
several of which, to large amount had alrea-
DIV been detected, by resort to these papers,
when no other means OF resisting them was
extant. The Government had thus already
saved to itself large proportion of the money
asked for the manuscripts So that on this &C
count, as well as for all the other obvious rea-
sons, these papers were invaluable to the coun-
try.
Mr.. JARVIS resisted the amendment with
warmth In his part of the country bargain
was bargain. The owner of these papers had
agreed to take $4,000, and now. because they
were found valuable to the country il was at
tempted to exact 10000 dollars more.
Mr.. MANN, though he admitted the value of
the papers, wished to know more distinctly what
they contained.
Mr.. ARCHER referred him to the report of the
Committee who had brought IN the bill, and
which was read at the Clerks table
Mr. WAYNE indicated the owner of these pa
pers from the imputation of extortion thrown
out by MIR. JARVIS The amendment was the
spontaneous act of the Committee themselves,
and had been moved without his privitv or
counsel.
Mr. REED bore witness TO the value o. these
papers in saving the Government from the
payment of fraudulent claims at the Pension Of
flee
Mr.. PARKER resisted the amendment, conten-
ding that, strictly speaking, these papers, or a
large portion of them, were not The private pro-
perty of the COMMUNICATIVE Chief but in truth
belonged to the Government. He would nothoW
ever, object to paying the amount first o>A,'4
for them but was utterly opposed tolncreaslne
it He was very sure that the pay rolls and
other lpapers of the army would be willingly
surrendered by Gen. Washington were he nov
in life, without any pecuniary compensation
Mr.. HAWKINS, of N. c., proposed to reduce
the amount to $4,000 dollars; but this motion
was not now in order.
The question was then put on the amendment
proposed by Mr.. PEARSON, and negatived-a
81, noes SO.
No further amendment being proposed, the
bill was laid aside.
