CoNGRESs.-ln the Senate on the 18th. the
Navy APPRECIATION bill was passed, and the
subject of the District Banks taken up.
In the House the Army Bill was still under
consideration, Mcssrs. Graves, Downing,
and Hunt spoke against the bill, The war, the
administration, aud perhaps the Indians too.
Mr.. w. o. Fuller of Kentucky, made
an minated and eloquent speech in defence
OF the war, warmly indicated the conduct
OF the Government, the officers and troops,
and attributed the failure Of our campaigns
to the nature Of the country, and the pecu-
liar character Of the enemy. When Mr.,
Butler concluded, Mr.. Graves again took
the iioor, and the house adjourned.

This doctrine is fully carried out by the

common sense, If they were at all '4dainty''
or particular in their choice, would they be
voting for a "man Of straw like Gen. Har-
rison? 1t is not enough, however, that they
select a candidate for the Presidency whose
feeble talents and imcecile character make
all of '.dainty' stomacis who presume to
think for themselves, sicken with disgust
at their party and mourn The necessity which
drives them to cast a vote for such a man, Ia

paseness and degradation of the people,)
but, according TO the 81. Louis New Era,
you must not have "dain,ly" stomachs in re-
gard to constables and coroners, and Justices
of the Peace and members Of the Legisla-

nominating committee may tell you-you

-O-
DiscovERr OF NEw CoNnHENr.-The
Nincennes. one of the ships of The exploring
expedition, has il seems discovered Il con-
tinent near the Antarctic circle. The first
land made was, on the 18th January, Ga, 90
South latitude; and I5i. 10 East longitude
from Grecenwich. The Nmcennes, from this
point, ran down a coast 100 miles to the
9th degree of East longitude; and was often
so hard upon shore as TO get soundings with
Il few fathoms of line, during which time she
was constantly surrounded by ice islands
and bergs, AMI experienced many heavy
gales Of wind. She has brought several spe-
cimens of rock and earth. procured from the
land. some OF them weighing upwards Of n
hundred pounds.
This discovery is Of no value whatever,
save for the purpose Of enlarging our knowl-
edge Of Geography. 1t seems that a land,
ing was not elected; and probably very lit
lie would have been gained by ii.
A French exploring cxpedition-,he As
trolabe and ZeIee-by a rem rkable coin
cidence, discovered 4 part OF the saGe con-
%linent, on the same 10Th January, in latitude
&C and long. $50 East. The French Landed
in boats, and brought away some rocks. sc.
1t is well known to all who are familiar
with exploring expeditions that MANY at
tempts have heretofore been made. in the hope
of discovering n continent in the antarctic
circle. Indeed it has alwas been believed that
a great body of land existed there. from the
fact that the southern hemisphere, in the high
er latiludes is much colder and more shut
in by ice than the northern. About SERENITY
degrees Of latitude is all that has been attain
ed by %navigators towards the south poles;
while, at Spitzbergen, in the latitude of eighty
north, n colony was established at one time;
and a town built, with a port Of entry, into
which a vast many sperm whales were
brought, where the oil was extracted and
made an article of export. This was the
own of Smeerenburg-which has the I'M
~rivalled distinction of having been in a cold.
er region than any other ever yet attempted
on the face of the globe.
Is to tn, merits of this new discovery
we are rather doubtful. Ten or twelve years
ago, there were some positive statements.
which went the rounds of the newspapers.
that an antarctic continent had, about that
time, been run down, many hundreds of.
miles. Ii any Of our readers rccollect the
statement, and can furnish us with it, we
shall feel under obligations to them.

GoLrES Rock Wharf.-The Frederick
(Md.0 Herald contains some very favorable
notices OF this wheat, as shown by the pro-
duct of some samples of it sown last fall. in
that county. Mr.. Henry Lighter is stated
to have sown Il bushel and a half of this COL
den rock wheat, and that, making some ne
cessary allowance for the injury which part
OF 1t sustained by being sown too near a
wood, the product of that quantity of seed
might be estimated Ut fifty bushels. Patrick
ONell, near Frederick city, had a lot of three,
acres sown with this wheat. the product of
which he expects to be from I4O TO $50
bushels. The grains, in one head numbered
80: and the product of good samples is said
TO be from so up to 100 grains to the head.

nent feature of his character, as these legis-

Finally, in regard to his profanity. This
portion of his character we leave for the con-

content with the fact that in no instance
