MISCELLANEOUS SELECTIONS.
BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

The letters of Mr.. Brooks, which
have been SO extcnsively copied, abound
IN striking passages. One Of these, from
q letter written in Italy, is annexed.

resolution, the motion of .ie member from Virginia
could not be entertained.
Mr.. Wise appealed from the decision of the chair,
and spoke at length against the validity of the de-
cision.
When Mr.. Lane of Indiana, called for the previ-
Gus question, and the House seconded the CALL by a
vote of 9S ayes against 63 noes.
And the question, +" Shall the main question be

without count.
Mr. Chaplin called for the yeas and nays on the
main question, which were ordered:
And the main question z" Shall the decision of the
Chair stand, by the judgement of the House," was
then taken, and decided in the afirmaiive-yeas
1863, nays 80.
So the House sustained the decision Of the Chair.
Mr.. Wise submitted certain resolutions from the
Legislature Of Virginia, the subject Of the sbol-
tion of slavery:
Mr. Wise thrust the resolutions into his pocket,
afer the chair had allowed hmto read them through,
exclaiming, 81 have done my duty and l will not
suffer them to go to the Select Committee where |
know they will be disgraced." He then left the
main body ofthe House, saying he would be damned
if he ever returned. The House then proceeded
with its business ill four o'clock, and adjourned.

LIST SessiOn..-24th Congress.

In Senate, Monday, Feb. GA letter was re-
ceved from Mr.. Tyler, Senator from Virginia, re-
signing his seat in the Senate Of the United States
The remainder Of the session was occupied in dis
cussion on petition from the Friends in Pennsyl-
vania, praying for the abolition of slavery in the Dis
,rict of Columbia, and letter &C. from the Gov. of
Virginia, on the same subject.
In the House, the day was occupied in the discus

As usual, nothing definite was done with either
In Senate, Tuesday, little business was done. A
number Of papers presented, from the different
departments of Government, aud the abolition of
slavery petitions were the subject Of DEBATE.
In the House, Mr. Wise presented the memorial
Of Mr. John A. Smith, protesting against the pro-
ceednss Of the aboltionists and against the right ii

A Petritdetion.--A late Madrid paper gives IN
account of petr6ed giant said to have been brought
to light accidentally by the workmen engaged in
digging canal. The whole story is marvellous
That canal should be thought Of much more COM
menced, in Spain, is a matter of great wonder; we
should never suppose from the relations of travel
ers, tha, there enough energy in the country to
compass the digging of small ditch. But to pass
that-the account of the perified gentleman is, in
itself, perfectly marvellous. The body is said to be
upwards Of eighteen feet long, with head two feet
in width, and chest of yard. The bones are
said to resemble white gray stone. The account
goes on to state that physician aud surgeon have
examined the petrifacton, and given their certificate
of its being genuine man-no imitation. As to
the place, where, the time when and the particulars
how this amazing discovery was made, the papers
are silent and therefore, among other reasons, we
take leave to doubt altogether

The proxies for General Officers of the Stat. Go,
ernment have at length made their debut before m
people and incur paper to-day we present them foi'
the benefit of all concerned. The Republican aud
Administration prox still retains at its head the nam
of our present excellent chief magistrate Jon!
Brow FRANCIS, whom the freemen Of Rhode
Island have repeatedly elected 10 his present honor
able station than which better proof could no, b{
offered of his worth and the high regard entertained
by them of his qualifications for the office.
The federni prox is very appropriately headed By,
Tristan Burgess, man who most Of his,ime reside.
in the State of Massachusetts, but who would nd
doabt visit us often enough, if he should chance m
be elected Governor to preside at the sessions
of the General Assembly.
Besides these, is third prox called the Constitr
tional Prox headed by the Hon. Charles Collins for
merly Lieut. Gov. Of the State. The party which
has formed this prox, have no prospect of success
and at most will be only able in case of close vote
between the two former proxies of defeating an elec
ton. The candidate for the 1t. Gov. in the Amin
istration prox is the same gentleman who has for
several successive years been presented by the Re-
publican purity as in all respects well qualified for
Island Who Jeffrey Hazard is, what are his quail
fcations for the Office of Lieut. Governor.
But what shall we say when we turn to the candi-
date of the federal party. How many of the old
fashioned democrats of the State know John Fl.
Cross. We venture to say hardly one.
The truth is that a stronger evidence of the des-
pair Of success The part of the federal party could
not be presented than the case Of the candidate NOM
mated for 1t. Gov. The old heads of that party
well knowing that certain defeat would be the por-
ton of any one who should be candidate had no
ambition of being set up as mark to be shot at !;
and very cunnngly therefore agreed to place in that
enviable station Mr.. Cross young man of some FIVE
and twenty years of age, of very ordinary capacity
and if possible still less ordinary intelligence. Mr.
Cross once professed to be Republican and friend
to the present Republican administration, but prec
ious little cajolery has ruined him he will find too
late. We would speak of the Senators in the sever
al proxies but have not time and room in the pres
ent paper, but will resume the subject in future
number.

The suspected Pirate Brig San Nieholos.-This
vessel, lately libelled in New York as SLAYER, we
learn from the New York Transcript, was allowed
10 clear out Tuesday, by permission of the Uni
ted States authorities. No sooner, however, was she
beyond reaeh Of the guns Of the port than informa-
ton was given to the Disric, Attorney, of charac.
ter which left doubt that the suspicious originally
entertained to her destination, and the object Of
her voyage were in every respect correct. In con-
sequence of this information. Mr.. Rnpelyea, the
Deputy U. s. Marshall, together with Mr.. Philip
Hamilton, Assistant District Attorney, and two minor
officers charter red steamboat, and started In pursuit
Of the brig, which, it is probable, they would speed
