A CONGRESSIONAL BRoIL.-A foolish
and very disreputabIe scene occurred in
the House of Representatives on Friday
between Messrs. Bell and Turney, both
from Tennessee In the course of debate
on the Indian Hostility Bill, Mr.. Turney
commented with much freedom on the
political doings of his colleague.
MIR. Bell, in reply, retorted as severely
on Mr.. Turney, and among other things
charged him with acting under the dlrec-
ton of Others in his course toward Mr..
Bell personally, applying to him the ex-
preston "a tool of tooIs.''
On this, Mr.. Turney started up, ex-
claiming, "that is false:" whereupon Mr.
Bell aimed at his colleague blow-their
seats being close together-which was
promptly returned.
Other members interposed, and the par,
ties were quickly separated. The Speak,
err took the chair-the House having been
in committeeman directed the sergeant
to preserve order. Both members then
apoIogized to the House, voluntarily, aud
there the matter dropped.-N Y. Spec.
The WAR AGAINST PERU.-By land
also, as well as by sea, the Buenos Ayre-
ans are in trouble. Some time last year
they sent an army against Gen. Santa
Cruz, protector of Bolivia and Peru, I'M
der the presence that he was aggran dizing
himself by too great an accumulation OF
power. By the latest advices received at
Buenos Ayres from the interior, the army
of Santa Cruz, instead of being annihila-
led by the valiant Buenos Ayreans, as they
confidently predicted it would be, had act
uaIIv entered the territory Of the Buenos
Ayrean Confederation, and advanced as
far as the town of Salta. The Buenos
Ayrean forces were 10 full retreat, and the
commanding general was reported to have
resigned.

Well, and what Of this?
Yet WATCHMAN, yet thy banner flying,
Streams like the thunder storm against the wind
Thy trumpet voice. unbroken, and undying, &C.
Louder, and yet louder still the tempest leaves be-

KIDNAPPING IN RHODE IsLAND.-In
the new criminal code recently adopted
by the Legislature of Rhode Island, we
find the following efficient provision
against kidnapping, which we think will
drive the kidnappers from that State:
Sec. Is. Every person who shall be
convicted of Transporting or carrying. or
causing 10 be transported or carried by
land or water, any citizen of this State, or
any other person lawfully residing or
or nhabiting therein, to any place with
out the limits of this State, without his
consent or voluntary agreement, except
in order to remove such person from one
part of the State to another part of the
same, or for the purpose of defending the
same in time of war, agreeably to law, or
except such person be sent by due course
of law, shall be imprisoned not exceeding
ten years nor less than one year.
MORE FRONTIER TRouBLE.-The
Rochester papers of the 4th inst, bring
information of a strange affair at Brock
Vile, Upper Canada. The steamboat
Telegraph, while leaving the wharf at
that place on Friday night was fired into
by the militia Stationed at Rockville, and
although nobody was hurt several balls
left traces of their progress.
