bers from the Chickasaw counties being here, and
as they conceived, constitutionally prepared to
take their Seats resolution was offered, requir-
ing them TO produce their credentials, and author
ising them TO take their seats as members. This
resolution brought mp thai imphrlant and exciting
question about which 20 much has been said
Accordingly the forces were arranged, and tre-
mcndous conflict of word. snsuod, slasling from
Monday forenoon, until l2 b'clock this day, when
N, final vote was take' aud found 10 be in favor
of their admission. The vote stood ayes 81, nays
20.
Nothing Of any importance has transpired in
the Senate, except a vote taken this evening upon
a subject, which, Though not directly, vet indi-
rectly involves the same question, and il was de-
cded favorable to the views Of the Chickasaw
members. The question alluded to did not in.
voive the right of those membSfs to their seats.
but the right OF the Senate to interior, in the mat.

The lands of the United States are de
too much 10 the cultivation of cotton, te'AM
and corn; hence the common agricultural pro-
ducts are so rare, that wheat etct have now to be-
imported from Europe at very heavy prices. This
is foolish way Of robbing Peter to nav Paul:
Tor though agncullurists may gam on the raised
products and the exports OF the country may ao-
pear augmented, the people at large have to paw
lor wheat and hour-the profits on which are
made by foreign nations, and the shipments O
which may be, made in return for our cotton and
tobacco; SO that agriculture thus travels in a VI
cious circle--,oha have certain gain. they endure
certain loss. We're wheat and other products
raised for domestic consumption, the profits nigh,
be greater than those made on raising and expor,.
ing tobacco--cO considering the cenan and con.
slant demand for the former, and the MANY draw
backs on the luttOr. Avarice. is, however, pur-
blad, and cannot glance along the vista of time.

A MOST DIsGRACEFUL SCENE.

We learn that the German Reformed Church in Forsyth street, was yesterday des- ecrated by scene of violence and disorder, refecting the deepest disgrace on all parties concerned in it.
 About II o'clock two clergymen, followed by their respective friends, simultaneously entered the church and made for the pulpit. On reaching the desk, the passage was mu- tually disputed, vi ct armis, and sticks and clubs were put freely in requisition; being supplied by breaking up the rails around the altar Possession ofthe pulpit was gain cd alternately by both parties, and both par ties alternately dislodged. While matters were in this frightful state of victory and de- feat, the alarm bell was rupg, and the fire men rushed to the spot, determined we be- lieve to throw cold water upon the fiery val or of the reverend belligerents. In the meantime, however, strong party from the police parted the combatants, cleared the church and closed it; very much to the dis satisfaction of both parties. The clergy men are said to have fought very like Bluch- ys having their clerical garments torn to

 Cousti!utiOn of North America regarded
 with enthusiastic feeling. From the south- ern extremity of our own continent to the dark frozen depths of Poland-ichereUer iron onDression has had her sway-wherc is it not contemplated with admiration by day, where is it not the object of the delightful dream of night, that there yet exists one glo- rious instance of man governed by himself. Yet my countfymen, ii. is our Union which sanctiiies all else. What are our magnifi- cent rivers, our rolling inland seas, our mountains, prairies, ALL !-my soul revolts from them, disunited and connected in no gi- gantic nchole. It is our Union which hallows, ennobles, secures all else. I am not accus- toned to indulge in dependency and doubt : but, my co,lntrymen, l must confess to you, that if this Union be once severed-once des- troyed, am not sanguine to believe that we or our children's children shall ever look up- on another like it. Consider all that extra ordinary concurrence and succession of c. vents which have conduced to rear up the fabric of this nation, and think you they will ever again unite to the same mighty end ?- With these views, then, most heartily would I concur in the sentiment which upon this oc- casion has been uttered and if these were the last words I were ever to utter, they should be, The Consultation of the United States AS IT 1s the inardluGble inheritance of American citizens,

 Duelling is quite the order of tho day, and it is quite common question to be asked, how that duel come off yesterday, Cor you must know that our leading journals seldom or never make mention of such things)- when you ask which one, you hear of quite a. different one to the one spoken of to come off, that you heard of last evening.

The expenditures during the same month were about $2,6l1 ,6O3.
 It is proper to add that the above statement of receipts, like that for May, includes not only the money legally paid into bank to the credit of the Treasurer, and the amount of Treasury drafts taken in payment for duties and lands by collectors and receivers. but all the money which they returned as on hand, after deducting what probably would have remained in their possession, not deposited during the month, and the banks not stopped specie payments.
