EXTRACT OF LETTER DATED
Washington, March 9TH, 1885.
witnessed scene last night in the
House Of Representatives, of SO remark
able a character, that must attempt to
describe it.; and ] only wish that my
powers of description were in any degree
adequate to giving you true concep-
ton Of it. 1t was scene Of tumult and
confusion and uproar, such as l have
never before seen or dreamed of. To
exhibit the chief cause of it, must give
the affair in some detail. Early in the
evening, the House in the regular course
of business, took up the Bill making ap-
preparations for Fortifcations, &C., for
the purpose Of acting on the amend
ments Of the Senate, and some amend
ments to these amendments which had
been proposed in Committee of the
Whole. One Of the Senatc's amend
ments, which was concurrcd in by the
House, was an appropriation of S75, 900
for the repair Of Fort Independence, in
Boston Harbor. 1t was proposed that
all the amendments should lie acted up
Oh, in the lump, by single vote; and it
seemed to me in the gallery, as if il
were about to be done, when Mr.. T..
Everett said there was one which he
thought of sufficient importance to de-
lnand separate vote. The question
was taken on the others, and all were
agreed to; and then the amendment de-
signated by Mr.. +. was read 1t was
an additional section appropriaiing S3,-
100000 for the general purposes of de :.
fence, the support Of the army, includ-
ing Fortifcaiions and the increase of The
Navy, provided the same should be
needed before the next session Of Con-
gress. think these are nearly the ex-
act terms, and it contained no other
specification or limitation whatever.-I
You will observe that this was not in
the original bill but was an amendment
Of an amendment; that il was not foun-
ded on any recommendation of the Pre-
sident or the Secretary Of War, and was
not accompanied by any estimates.
Neither was there a word Of explanation
by the Chairman of the Committee or
any other person. The ayes aud noes
were ordered. MIR. J. q. Adams name

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

We copy from "f'Investigateura of yes- terday, an extract from private letter re- ceiyed from Tampico by the schooner La Gazetta, containing the following account of bloody battle, said to have been fought at Zacatecas, between the the troops of the line under Gen. Santa Ana and the inhabi- tants. The editor, however, of that jour nal, does not present the extracts as off, clal, as they have not appeared as yet in any of the Gazettes received from Mexico.
 "An extraordinary courier has just arriv- ed from San Luis de Potosi, announcing that Gen. Santa Ana, with large body of troops of the line, had succeeded in taking possession of Zacatecas, after most ob- stinate and bloody engagement. 800 men were left dead upon the field Of battle.
 'sThere IS no doubt that Santa Ana hav- ing now triumphed over the only State that could oppose any efectual resistance, will establish the federal system and military government throughout the republic"

Greot Coglagrotion.-on Saturday, 7th June, d destructive fire occurred at Charleston, s. c. Four entire squares were consumed, or the buildings torn down or blown up, to arrest the progress of the destroyer. The number of buildings des- troyed is supposed to be 374, including 1S2 houses and stores-valuation of the proper ty, including the lots, $l9O,000. Great distress prevailed among the poor families, who were thus driven from their shelters; and the Charleston papers appeal in their behalf, 10 their sister cities, for charitable reliel--which, we trust, will be literally ex- tended. This fire, as it destroyed a great nnmber of small wooden buildings, which oughte not to be suffered to stand in the heart of large city, will probably soon have beneficial effect upon the appear ance of the plaee.--.N'ashpite Bmmef.

 The canvass for seat in Congress from this district is daily increasing in warmth and interest. Two old campaignefs-tG'ol. Crockett and Mr. Huntsman-are in the field single handed. The latter of these gentlemen has never been beaten in po- pular election, while past events prove that tine former, i'll bacixwoods pilrase, IS ;silard to head.n 'Tis handsome race, and such an one as we like to see. hon last last heard from, the two candidates were in Henry county, speechifying lhe people-David, it IS said, among other things, collecting ma terlals for his anticipated work, the s'Secoad FaH of sadom.p while sBlaelS Hawk with his accustomed sagacity, it Is said, is daily made to grleye at seeing his competitors labor thrown away-feeling every conf- aenec that he will be enabled to put him "up tree," at the polls on the first Thurs day.
 We are gratifed to learn that the canvass continues to progress with perfect harmony and good humor between them.

oi their rapine and murder, unmolested
 by law unavenged by justice. What pic- ture for civilized community Is there no fault in the police of Arkansas? Has not this neighborhood been eyed and canvass ed with direful suspicion for yearsl Is it not sufficiently polluted and cursed by fraud, base money, and lawless plunderers to awaken the eyes of unayenged justice r. Does not the blood ot the murdered cry long and loud from its crimson ground for revenge Or must 1t be died deeper and deeper with innocent human gore? We are aware of it's being wild uninyiting portion of the territory, remote from the immediately survey of the executive con- trol. But this is no reason why an express police should not ferret out and bring te condign punishment those whose hands are raised against the property and lives of ev- cry honest man. We even hear of threats made by them to burn our town for the part our citizens took year ago in recovering plundered boat from them and securing some of the conspirators, part of whom are still confined Tn our county jail, await ing the slow and uncertain hand of justice.
 The facts stated above remind us of some which came under our own personal cogni- zance in December last. A person from western Virginia, accompanied by a gentle man from Mississippi township in Arkansas county, applied to me, while at Col. Farrel- ly's, near the Post, for advice in similar case. l have forgotten both their names. The man stated that he was put in charge of flat boat, loaded with, think, 6S hogsheads of tobacco. His boat ran Oh a sand bar in the Mississippi, within the bounds of the county of Arlansas-and he was immedi- ately informed by a justice of the peace and others, that he must, according to the laws of the Territory, take out a protest, and have the tobacco sold for the benefit of the under- writers. He did so, and his cargo, worth eightzor ten thousand dollars, was sold for about 350--at auction. Of course there was no necessity of taking out q protest, and the underwriters would not have been liable to the owner. The sale was conducted in some- thing the same manner as the one mentioned in the Recorder.
 l gave the man letter to the justice and others concerned, threatening them with ex- posture and prosecution-but at the same time advised him to get his boat off, if possi- ble without using violence. fought to have mentioned that, before coming to the Post, he offered the purchaser his money again, and demanded the cargo, which was refused. He returned to the place, and two or. three boats from the Ohio passing down. the crews aided him in getting his boat off; and he sail ed down the Mississippi without hindranee. l have good reason to recollect these facts, because the man forgot to do what he parti- cularly promised, viz: send me my fee.

WASHINGTON, May 30, 1885.


 Without wasting time in recapitulating the enormous suggestions of the Journal of Commerce, the Baltimore Patriot, and sundry other journals, on the subject of the cabinet, l must ask your indulgence while repeat the substance of statement made by me in a communication, some weeks since. am right Hir. Forsyth. though under the ban of the present Executive council, and not in the best odour with the President himself, has not, as the ssPatriot' intimates, resigned the seals of the State Department, but most probably sgnifed his intention to do so at an early period of the next session of Congress. His req scas fer this delay are perfectly ohgiens. Elections of the utmost importance are to be decided in the middle, southern and western States, the result of which must ef'eetually settle the question between MT. Van Buren and Judge White. Moreover, the Secretary desires to figure in diplo- matic station abroad, and to secure this distinction, he gracefully bends to the wish es and necessities of the Vice President. Mr. Livingston will hardly resume the pre- miersbip If you will allow the State De- partment the honor;) the post will be occu- pied by Woodbury, Stevenson, or Riyes, most probably by Woodbury--yet there is a rumor, l confess, somewhat imposing. which reserves the dignity for the rejected Envoy he may possibly supply the va cant chair in the Treasury Department.
 The clamorous contentious among the delegates Of sshlie late Baltimore caucus, for the office of the land commissioner, have caused the President to select suc- cessor to Mir. Hayward from another quar- ter Mir. Dickens, chief clerk in the state department, will as 1 am informed, be pro- noted to the place on Monday next, ut which time the resignation of the present incumbent is to take effect. Mir. Dickens is an old political associate of the vlce-pre- sident, and zealousIy embarked with him in the support of Wm. H. Crawford for the presidency i'll '2s, against the present executive.

The alregion of Pennsylvania, and the extent to which this exhausfless mine of wealth to that State has, within few years been, by means of her rail roads and ca nals, scattered over other parts of the Umon, is a subjectsof surpassing wonder. The Lehigh or anthracite mines sent to the market in 1920, but 365 tons, but in 1884, after the canals and rall roads came into use, 374, ,222 tons, of which lo6, ,50o were from the Lehigh, and PA, ,243 from the Schuyl- kill, and 43, TOO from the Lackawana mines. The Lehigh company employ on the Lehigh canal and Delaware 275 boats--on the Morris canal 250 boats. The number of vessels laden with coal at Philadelphia and Bristol in 1884 was 469. The number of coal vessels that cleared from the river Schuylkill in 1884, was p brigs, l122 schooners, APO sloops. The value of the property of the anthracite coal mines in col iieries. cars, lands, boats. warehouses, &c. is over l9 millions of dollars. The anthra- cite mines coyor 975 square niles; the b.:
 luminous, which are more valuable and not much worked as yet, 21,00O square miles. The consumption of anthracite in lS42, 1t Is thought will be 10 millions and half of tons, or over g millions of fdollarsl--.Noat.
