Both Houses of Congress are now engaged respec-
lively in deliberations upon two very important bills,
viz the Fiscal Bank Bill in the Senate and the Land
Distribution Bill in the House
A difference of opinion among our friends, not un-
expected to us nrelaon the consitutionaIity of
National Bank, has excited animated debate,
which was yesterday characterized by high degree of
spirit and interest
IL we must differ must still unite. We see no
necessity for Senator read another Senator out
Of the Wing Church, especially not when that Seno-
tor thus mathematical bears aloft the standard of the
Administration of John Tyler. We have before us
the example of folly furnished by the denunciatory
and intoleran course pursued towards dssenents by
the late dominant party. Let us avoid the rock by
which they were preciptated TO destruction.

WRECK OF A STEAMSHIP.

Captain Sawyer, of the brig Augusta, arrived at
Philadep hia from the w Indies reports that the Oath
of June when about ninety miles south of Cape Hat
teras he fell in with the hull of very large steam
vessel, which had been burned One guard was
der water the frame of the other above but ve.y much
burned
This is the substance Of the entry in the log book
but the Courers correspondent adds that Captain
Sawyer could clearly discover parts of the heavy
machinery such crank, shaft, &c; part of the
frame of one wheel, and the timber Of her guards
were out of water and appeared as if a boiler had
been thrown cfi--coud see no white streaks-and she
had very much the appearance of having been fire;
person and therefore did think necessary
TO GARD the wreck.
1t is suggested, and with apparent probability, that
in this encounter the waste of waters we have
final and conclusive intimaon OF the fate that has be-
fallen the steamship President
II must be remarked, however, that the wreck of
burned vessel supposed TO be ship, and cotton loaded
had before been fallen in with, more than once, at
points very remote from that indicated 10y Captain

from and visited by The captain Of that vessel in lat.

and burned to the water edge.
Unless Captain Sawyer Is positive and right about
the fragments Of wheels and machinery, in the wreck

trust nobody at Washington believes that
there is any doubt or hesitation in New York
with regard 10 the establishment Of a National
Bank. The measure was probably never more
popular here. A few were disappointed that
the location is fixed elsewhere, but that is fast
wearing away, now that calmer consideration
eylnces that while the consulting and deliberat-
ing head Of the Bank is To be al the point most
Tree from sectional influences, its business will
be precisely where the business Of the country
shall demand Many of US here would greatly
prefer Mr.. Clays TO Mr. Ewing's BILL but nearly
all would prefer either to none But we hope
that some compromise may be devised which
will secure the advantages to the country intend
ed by Mr.. Clay, and will obviate the constitu-
tiona scruple respected by Mr. Ewing. But
have no apprehensons as TO the popularity Of
such a Bank as Congress will charter. The
only danger is in disappointing the anxious de-
sires and just expectations Of the people, by fail
ing to create any. Let this rock be avoided.
and all will be well.
The sociude for speedy, energetic action in
Congress increases here daily, but there are few
murmurers. The only prayer is, don't engthen
the session by Wing speeches. Let The adver-
sary talk he will give him time; the van

sons, and at every response in his defamation
stop not TO answer, but move step forward.
