These are all the known spots Of land that have
been discovered in the Southern Ocean. The rea-
der can Judge for himself Of the authenticity Of the
late discovery.
After all, the general impression is, that Lieut..
Wilkes has made no discovery In the " New
York Herald" of Wednesday, June 18th, we pub
lshed the following -
"a new island, or continent, is said TO have been
discovered in the Southern Oceans. IL has been
called Ade and is laid down from lon l3D deg. 81
east of Paris lSo deg 20; and from lat % deg "a
81 deg. south"
This, however was the first account of the dis
coyery published in the United States, and il re-
ferred 10 what tbs French had done.

MEssRs DAVIS AND BUCHANAN.

In the Senate, yesterday, when the report
Of the Special Committee on the State Debts
was under consideration, Mr.. Davis, of Mas
sachusetts, took occasion to defend himself
against the charge brought by Mr.. Buchanan,
Of having misrepresented his arguments in
his published speech. 1t was complete and
triumphant vindication. The published speech
Of Mr.. Davis is faithful report of what he
said in the Senate in reply to Mr.. Buchanan
in the presence Of that gentleman and
which Mr.. Davis distinctly gave him notice
would be addressed particularly to his re-
marks. Mr.. Buchanan did not then notice
any misstatement Of his argument. But now,
after more than month has elapsed, and af-
ter the public voice has been heard in tones
of the most indignant and decisive reproba-
ton of the doctrines he was then understood
10 advance, he comes out and makes an occa-
sion TO charge Senator, Of the highest cha
racter for candor and accuracy, with having
misrepresented his speech, and embraces the
same opportunity to put forth very different
set of views and propositions.
Mr.. DAVIS spoke throughout with the dig
nity which has always characterized his per-
sonal department., and public display; and
with the dreciness and boldness Of truth and
we believe that all impartial persons regarded
him as having entirely JUST fed himself in the
account Of Mr.. Buchanan's argument, con-
tanned in his (Mr. D's.) speech, and in his
general course throughout this discussion.
Mr.. BUCHANAN, in his reply, did not deny
that the published speech Of Mr.. Davis was
correct report Of what that gentleman de-
livered in the Senate but he persisted in
maintaining that views and arguments as to
the operation and effects Of the Sub-treasury
bill were attributed to him in that publication,
which he had never used. We regret to say
that in commenting on these alleged "misre-
presentations" but which we maintain are
perfectly accurate representations of what we
understood the Senator to say on the occa-
sion alluded to, Mr.. Buchanan used Ian
guage utterly unbecoming his character and
position, most discreditable 10 the Senate it.
self; and such as every man who knows
Joms DAVIS will repel as altogether unjust
and inappcable to him. Such words as
.'false," "fagitous," "peculiarly infamous,
when thrown out against that gentleman, than
whom no man in this country enjoys higher
reputation for integrity and honor---will only
fall back upon their authors. Yet Mr.. Bu-
chanan employed them against MIR. Davis, de-
liberately and repeatedly. and in their most
offensive sense

The HousEl OF REPRESENTATIVES made very little
progress yesterday with the New Jersey case, al
though it occupied nearly the whole time of the Sit
ting.
Mr. Campbell, Chairman Of the Committee on
Elections appealed to Mr.. Petrikn, for The sake of
justice to withdraw his bill for the previous quest
on the resolution, which proposes TO vote into the
seats directly, the no,commissioned members from
New Jersey. Mr.. Campbell urged that the Com
miltee should be heard and that the whole testimony
should be printed and presented to the House before
the members should be called upon TO decide the
question.
Mr.. Petrikin refused
Mr. Smith, OF Conn, asked a suspension OF the
rules to permit him to make report from the mi
noriiy OF the committee; but this was also refused.
The House then agreed TO 60 TO the orders OF the
day.
The Speaker presented, leave, some papers
which he had received from New Jersey, relative
to the election In South Amboy, which were
ferred TO the Committee on Elections.
Mr. Fillmore moved reconsideration of the vote
on the reference, for the purpose OF ordering the
above meantime papers to be printed
Mr. F. was proceeding to speak in support OF this
moion-when he was called TO order, as usual, by
Mr. PerRIKlN. A long discussion arose. involving
several points of order, which ended in The Speaker
revoking decision he had mode, and in declaring
that Mr. FILLMORE entitled 10 the floor.
Mr. F. will, therefore, proceed to-day, unless in
tcrrupteda he has been repeatedly in the most vexa
tious manner by men, who are determined to decide
this momen,ous question Of the representation Of a
sovereign State, by the law Of numerical force.
