Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.

WASHINGTON, March %.
Ihe Senate met but half an hour this
morning, before going into executive busi-
ness. MIR. Webster's resolution calling
for information as 10 The operation of the
treasury note system, was adopted. Tho
subject which employs so much Of the at
ten'lon of the Senate, in secret session, is
the Seneca Treaty.
ln the House, it was resolution dav.--
Mr.. Jones represented the urgent necessi.
ly OF aching on the treasury note bill, and
moved to suspend the rules in order lake
1t up; but the motion was lost.
There is as much need of The passage
of'he appropriation bills as of any other.
March "a.
In the senate, to-day, MIR. Webster, pre-
sen'ed memorial of sundry proprie,ors
and managers Of American Steam Ves-
sells on the impolicy and injustice of GER
tain enaclnents contained in The law re-
latne to Steam Boats, asking 10 be reslor-
ed TO the rights and privileges which be-
long 10 other citizens engaged in navigu-
tion. The memorial was referred to the
same Committee, which has lately repor-
ted an additional bill OH the subject. The
Steam Boat owners complain still more
OF The new bill now proposed than of the
existing law. They wish to have all re-
sIrictions, on their business removed
They ask TO be protected from the 'pro-
posed aggravalions of The relentless doc
trlnes of the common law, as it now gov
erns the responsibilities of common crimes"
and which, if enacted, will, they say, de-
stroy The business. If steam navigation,
they add, be deemed too hazardous for the
public safely, it would be more just TO pro-
hibil it entirely. They deny that the ex-
ls'ine, or the proposed laws furnish ade-
quate remedies for disasters. Congress
will, no doubt be willing to receive any
practical suggestions on The subject, hut ir
is to be hoped tha; they will not allow the
Steam Boat companies the "large liberty"
that they demand.
In The House, Mr.. Bolts consumed the
morning hour in continuing his argument
ON The subject of the admission of the Jer-
sey members. He con,ended that the
House had admitted these members with
outaDy examination or proof that they had
been duly elected; they had been admitted
upon the report of a Committee, which re-
port was itself made without due examiua-
ton. There was not man in the House,
be averred, who would have voted that
these members should take their seats,
whether elected by legal or illegal votes;
but this object has been effected indirectly
through, the report of the Committee.

The Fifteen Gallon Rail Road Keg:
We yesterday inspected at the Rali
Road Depot, a freight car i'll the form OF a
MamoM hogshead which we were iniorm-
ed, at the suggestion Of Col. Gadsden,,
had been constructed and experimented on
by Mr.. Tupperlbe President. LIS dimen-
sions where light feel diameter at the bilse,
and twenty one feet long, and on lis hrst
voyage transported up about fifteen thou
sand pounds Of coffee with some, Light
merchindize in addition and brought down.
twenty nine square bales Of cotton. The
experiment has been most satisfactory,
and The. hosshead form for cars.-is recon-
mended as best calculated to counteract tho
resisting pressure of lateral or opposing
winds; least exposed 10 FIRE; as shedding from
its rotundity; the sparks as they fall and
thus notrequiring tinning-lighter; cheap
er Of construction; and admitting Of wheels
Of larger diameter without eleyating the
car, than those hitherto used, and most of
all, least exposed to injury from The jarring
effects Of the locomotive and the vibrations
Of rapidly of movement.
1t is believed. that the hogshead cars;
will out last any which have as yet been
in use, and will, by all be esteemed the
most important in diminishing expense
from the constant reparalion and renewal,
which the cars OF ordinary construction
now require.
We understand that the agents on the
road feel so we'll assured Of the great su-
perioriry ofthe hogshead form for freight !.
cars atleasl-thal Mr.. Tupperhas ordered
several Of larger dimensions, than the
modefone which has been experimental
ON, to be Immediately constructed, and
which will convey from 40 to As bales of
cottou. -
He likewise soon contempla,es barreling
up The passengers on The Rail Road, in a
passage hosshead, the bung Of which, 10 be
ornamen'ed with small dome or sky-light.
We claim "The Fifteen Gallon Rail
Road Keg" as Carolina invention, and
while we demand no patent, we shall be
sufficient gralifed in Witnessing all the
other Rail Road Companies adopting the
HoSshead from, as decided imporve-
ment in The construction of fright aud pas
