WASHINGTON, October 7th, 2P. M.

The Senate did not sit to-day.
 The House came together at ten o'clock Mir. Loomis, of Ohio, asked leave to present a resolution calling upon the Secretary for in- formation relative to the Treasury Note Bill. The resolution intimates that MT. Woodbury, in advance of the passage of the Treasury Note Bill, has employed an engravcr and is- sued notes without the sanction ot Congress. The resolution was objected to by Messrs. Cambreleng, Davee, of Me, and Boon, of In- diana. MT. Loomis moved suspension of the rules, to enable him to offer the resolution. The House refused, by vote of EIGHTY FIVE to SEVENTY, to adopt the resolution! Why should the House refuse to put the question to the Secretary of the Treasury?
 A resolution was introduced, calling upon the President of the United States for infor- nation relative to land belonging to the Uni ted States on the Columbia river.
 The Florida War Resolution came up for discussion. Mir. Mckay, of North Carolina, opposed the appointment of Select Commit tee. Mir. Wise and MT. Mckay had little sparring together. Before Mr. Mckay had concluded, tho orders of the day were called. The Treasury Note Bill came up for discus sion. Mir. Bell, of Tennessee, first addressed the House upon the Bill He referred to the position of the two parties,-the Van Buren party and the Conservative party,-and ask ed the Conservative party ifthey had aban- doncd their principles, and compromised l with those who were opposed to them. Did they also mean to war upon all Banks,-to 20 over to the support of the untried expedi- ent,-to unite with those from whom they l were formerly and in principle disunited.- MT. Bell said he hoped not, and appealed to them not to sacrifice principle to power-pa- triotism to party. He alluded to the unity of action of the party in power--the party in the House depended upon the party in the Senate-the party in the Senate upon the Secretary ofthe Treasury, and the Secretary of the Treasury upon the Executive Con- gress originated no acts: the Departments told Congress what to do, and Congress did l what the Departments told them must be l done. Mir. Bell animadverted, in strong terms, and with great force, upon the policy

The Senate have finished all im- portant business before them, and have now only to wait the action of the House.. The weather in the city, for day or two past nas been cold enough to make great coats, furs, fires, and winter clothing neces- sary to be comfortable. The city is full of strangers. The Hotels are thronged.

mediate cause of this suspension Of opera
hons is 20 be found in the fact that con-
tractors for coal in the Atlantic cities have
directed shipments to cease, inasmuch as
they are unable to effect sales, and conse-
quently unable to meet the drafts drawn on
them by coal shippers, except at long dates
and our banks refuse to discount such pa
per- We hazard nothing in predicting iha.
unless measures are taken abroad to receive
the coal already mined, a total suspension
oi ell coal operations must take place in
'"lS region" These suspensions of the
mining operations ia the coal district, by
cu'''ng short the supply of coal will, we
fear' so enhance the price of fuel, as to be,
the next winter, the source of much severe

or those, which it unquestionally possess

Ploughing an amusement in Illinois,
The roll of the prairies is so free from
stumps and stones, that the plough, ofier
the first furrow, generally needs no guide
prepared with seat for the driver, grad
uated by pair of wheels, and drawn by
an experienced team, it cuts a furrow of
equal thickness, and will pursue the even
tenor Of its way for miles without obstruc-
ton. "A gentleman informed me that he
had seen drivers seated on their plough,
playing on their violin, while the oxen and
the plough KEEP, their regular motion
through long burrows, apparently without
any attention from him. have often seen

or the implimcnt which it drew, except at
the commencement or termination of fur

CUMBERLAND Coal MINE.-The Provi-
dence Courier says amid all the difficulties
and embsrrassments in the business commu-
nifty, there is one concern which is pursu-
ing, in quiet manner. the even tenor of
its way, without any intention or chance of
stopping or suspending. The concern to
which we alude is one which deeply inter-
ests the public. 1t is the Cumberland Coal
Mine. That has not stopped and will not.
The operations baye hitherto and may for
a while be slow, but the enterprising men
who have got hold of it evnce their confi-
dence in its being sure, by the preparations
they are makiag to sink their shaft to
greater depth.-Thcy make no boast OF
their means, but they are uble and mean
to 60 ahead"
THIS is good news to those who live IN
the neighboIhood of the mine, especially
when contrasted with the unfavorable ac-
count from the Pennsylvania Coal DISTRICT
which we suhjoiu, but we would ask Mr.
Larned to inform us whether the quantity
obtained at the mine, is sufficient to warrant
the expectation that any part OF the supply
required in this town for next Winter, can
be procured from this source ! He Will
oblige US by an answer.
