The National Intelligencer of the Sd inst.
in reference to this result, says
THE SENATE LAND DEBATE
Has ended at last. in the passage, by large
majority, of the permanent prospective pre-
emption bill as originally proposed; and the
bill has now to undergo tho ordeal of the II.
of Representatives.
The proposition, originally Mr.. Calhoun's,
but moved as an amendment to the bill by
MIR. Young, proposing a conditional cession
of the Public Lands 10 the States within
which they lie, was rejected by large ma
jority.
The amendment, moved by Mr.. Crittcnden,
for coupling with tho presumption principle
the Distribution of the proceeds of the Public
Lands among all the States, in proportion to
their right OF property therein, was negatived
by a small majority; q majority produced,
probably, by the apprehension on tho minds
OF some Senators that the introduction of tina,
enactment into this bill might be the means
OF defeating the bill for pre-emption, which
they are in favor of on its own merits, and
therefore not willing to connect with any 9TH
er project. We cannot but hope, however,
that the two measures will at last 90 hand in
hand, and that, if they be made tho subject of
different acts, the one act will not lag far in
the rear OF the other, whether it pass at this
session or at the next.
The extent of the majority in favor of the
permanent prospective pre-emption lao may
perhaps surprise some of our readers, who
are not prepared for what, at first sight, APP
pears to be so radical change in our Land
system. The fact is, however, as we under
stand, the principle of that bill is already as
effectively part of the Land system as if it
had been In legal existence for forty years.
There is conUentionallaw, stronger than any
temptation to break it, which now protects
the actual settler against any competition at
sales ofthe Public Lands. And this bill has
passed the Senate by such majority, under
the influence of the argument that it is better
TO HgdHze what is incurable and inevitable,
than to keep on the statute-book provision
which is a dead letter. OF the conclusive
ness OF this argument we say nothing; but it
certainly was not without its effect upon the
Senate.

SCENE ON THE OHIO.
BY THE REV. J. TODD.

Well, 1t is now nearly forty years since
first saw the glorious Ohio. / shouted when
first saw it; l have ever loved it since, and
when die hope l shall be buried on its
banks. On certain day, l engaged to 20
down the river to Kentucky, with Captain
Ward, as he was removing his family from
the east. The journey was long, and at best
would be tedious. Twas kind of a pilot,
for was well acquainted with the river, and
| all points of danger. The country was full
of Indians, and no settlement of any note had
been made In Ohio. The whites and the In
dams, too, were constantly making war upon
each other. lido not know who was the most
| 20 blame I; the whites killed the most, and
the Indians were the most cruel. We pur-
chased an old, crazy, square built boat, be-
| tween forty and fifty feet in length, and about
eight or ten feet wide. We contriyed to
spike on single pine plank on each gunnel,
| and this was the only thing we had to defend
| US. We had heavy load furniture, baggage,
horses, pigs, fowls, plows, besides nearly a
dozen people. These consisted of the Cap
tain, his wife, and their young children, a
widowed sister and son. besides several men
to manage this boat. When we left we were
| fearful lest the Indians should attack us from
the shore, but we knew that by keeping in
the middle of the river we should be beyond

days, till We supposed we were beyond the
haunts OF the Indians. One day, just at sun
set, after we had become tired with rowing,
we let our boat drift lazily and carelessly a.
long the current. We were just getting rea-
dy to put up for the night. The mother was
promising the children good run on shore.
The widow was getting out provisions, and
| making preparations for our supper. The
Captain and his nephew had hold Of the oars,
and moved them just enough to allow me to
steer the boat.
"Rogers," said the captain, "suppose we
pull in this side of that point, and tie our
boat to one of those big trees, and there en-
camp for the night"
'1t is good place, captain, and like it.

Correspondence Of tile Bali. Patriot
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4

There was scene of great interest and ex-
citement In the Ii. Of r., during the deus
sion of the Treasury Note Bill. Mr.. Adams
addressed the Committee of the Whole upon
the various topics that have been brought I'M
der consideration since this measure came up.
In the course Of his remarks, he animadverted
In very severe terms, upon the speech of Mr..
wise, and referred to statement which he
had seen in some of the newspapers, that Mr..
w. would be leader of the House.
lie minated that the tone and manner of
the gentleman from Va. for several days past,
had indicated disposition on his part to take
the lead. Mr.. Adams declared, that he for
one could never be one Of that gentlemai,'s
followers, and he proceeded to give his r. a.
sons. In doing so, he dwelt particularly
and In very pointed manner on Mr.. Wise's
sentiments IN regard to duelIing, and alluded
to some remarks which that gentleman had
made afew days ago, characterising what had
taken place between Mr.. w. G.. Johnson and
Nh Duncan of Ohio, and the issue of thei
controversy, as the sbitter" fruits of the anti
duelliDg law. This reference called m Mr.
j., who, IN very indignant manner, denoun
ced the course of MIR. A. In alludinr 10 wha
had occurred between him and MIR. ID. Mr.
A. proceeded, however, in the same tone
commenting upon the practice ofduellino, an,
lnsinuated that certain Southern members hat
been in the habit Of taking advantage of tn,
state oil public sentimentin the North, on tina
subject, to brow-beat and insult N orthern men
Mr.. w. called Mr.. A. to order two or tire
times for his personal illusions, and for hold
ing him up as duellist; but the Chair rule,
that the remarks were not out Of order, an,
Mr.. A. proceeded. He condemned the dispo
sition.. which he said had been manifested t

Treasury. Their financial scheme does no,

Notes, to supply present necessities
These, they think, will relieve them, al
tnough they know that the charge which
.hey will make upon the two last quar-
'ers OF the year must greatly embarrass the
new Administration. In one branch of
Congress, during the two months which
nave expired OF this Session, scarcely any
thing has been done; whilst in the other, four
weeks have been spent of the most precious
time Of the Session in passing presumption
law, though there is one already in exist
ence.
we feel fortified in the conviction of tho
indispensable necessity of an Extra Session
OF Congress by the repugnance with which
our good friends Of the present Administra-
ton party regard it They appear to be great
y grieved and shocked by the idea of it
without 1t, they know that their measures,
me'r implements, their instruments, will con-
hnue to operate. With it, they see the pros
pect OF the establishment of those salutary
measures OF relief, of reform, and of economy,
which the wants of the People demand, and
the will Of the People has decreed.
Some, who have not we'll reflected upon
inc subject, seem to apprehend that as Mr.. v.
Duren mad, early in his term, an abortive En-
ira Session, an Extra Session now may prove
injurious to the Administration Of Gen. Har-
Iison. But, for what purpose was his Extra
Session called? Was it to relieve the Peo-
plet No such thing. That purpose was
expressly repudiated. 1t was called to pro-
pose that last most disastrous link in the Chain
oil rash experiments, the Sub-Treasury. 1t
was called. not for the People, but for the
othce-holders. Gen. Harison's Extra Ses-
sion (Should he summon one \ will ba co,

antics, that the Waterman thought him every
way entitled to an introduction 10 our WORTHY
Recorder. Two or three nights previous he
had seen Dan Marble in the "Game cock of
the Wilderness" and the thing pleased him
% much that he rugged himself out OF Satur-
Gay evening as much like the game chicken

there he gave occasionally crow, and took
occasionally drink, until he found himself
somewhat loaded downby the head and eleva-
