Southland sAid he was giving himself credit
for his close attention to the business of the
session, and still he never knew, until long
after dark on Sunday night, that the resolu-
ton in relation to the letter of Kendall, was
deemed satisfactory to this body. The de-
bate grew loud, animated, angry, and then
hushed again into sweet piano, but Benton
was immoveable. At last, Mr.. Walker hint
ed that the gentleman had no objection to
distributing i" Salt documents" but he could
not bear the thought of Madison's papers be-
ing distributed. Mr.. w. seemed quite excl
ted, and said that Wright's conduct was such
as would induce him, Mr.. w. to explain to
him in place and in manner that could
not be restricted by any rules of Office. He
gave Benton severe brush about his SIC TO-

insolent dictation of the Missourian. Think

The Secretary covered under the mena-

to hand the bill for the purpose of sending it
to the President, unless under the direction
of the Chair.
Mr.. Foster, the noble and Independent
Wing of Tennessee, took the bill, and being
joined by Mr.. Merrick, they put to horse to
rouse Martin for his signature. They return

more chop fallen than they are. Whenever
their pride is wounded they take to writing
for the Globe, and thus you see in one paper
Kendall's insolent justification of himself on
the ground that the resolution was insulting
while Benton draws beautiful picture Of
his armed occupation Bill, and says let the
responsibility of its defeat rest on the Wings,
together with the blood of the widow and the
pathetic-I could give you a
scene that I heard in relation TO the Sergeant
of Arms and Wright that would make you
laugh, blu: l forbear.
Latest from the Eest.-The Maine papers
continue to express dissatisfaction at the Pre-
sident's message. They think it is not deci-
ded enough-that it is too tame-and express
an opinion that Governor Fairfield will not
comply with the intimation in the message
to withdraw his troops from the disputed ter
ritory. War measures are evidently the
popular measures in Maine.

Eight Years Experience and observation
in the culture of Mulberry Tree, and in the
care of the Silk Worm," is the title of neat
little volume of 16O pages, about to be pub
lished by Mr.. Butler, of N. H. MIR. Samuel
Whitmarsh is the author of the work, and
with his practical knowledge, he must be
well fitted for preparing this publication
The time he spent in Europe few years
since, was given up almost exclusively to re-
searches into the cultivation of the Mulber-
ry Tree, and the growth of Silk. Since his
return home, he has constantly been occupi.
ed in this branch of business and doubtless,
from experience, he is one of the best practi-
cal silk growers in the country. The book
before us contains simple directions and I'M
pretending observations on the different de-
partments of the business, divided into ap-
propriate heads. 1t is just the work to be
placed in the hands of every person who de-
sires knowledge on this subject, or who in
tends to engage, in this new and lucrative
