WHITE SrsEp OF THE PRAIRIEs.-Mr. Kendall,
of the New Orleans Plcayune, is giving some ac-
count Of what he saw and suffered in his late ex-
petition toward Santa Fe, which resulted in impris-
onment at Mexico. After noticing focks OF small
white horses in the Praries he adds the following
''Many stories told Of large white horse that
has been often in the vicinity of the Cross Tim
bers and near the Red River. He has never been
known to gallop, but PAGES even faster than any
horse that has been sent out after him can run and
game end untring is the White Steed Of the Pra'-
ries for he is well known to trappers and traders by
that name that he has tired down no less than three
race-nags sent out expressly to catch him with Mex
lean rider. The latter had nothing but iasso or
Larat with him. long rope made either OF horse hair
or hemp, and which the Mexicans throw with great
dexterity but although he took fresh horse alter
firing one down. he never near enough the
noble animal to throw sip-noose over his head
or even to drive him into a canter. lie has been
known to pace mile in less than two minutes,
and keep up this rate hour after hour, or until
he has tired down whatever may be in chase
Large sums have been offered to any one who would
catch him, and the attempt has frequently been made
but he still roams his native prairies in freedom, soii-
tary and alone One Of the hunters even went so lar
tell that he too proud to be seen IN com
pany with the other mustangs being beautiful oh
NAL of far better action than those of his race out
this part of the story could not make it convenient
to believe at the time"

THE ADJOURNMENT.

Mr.. Casey, yesterday, moved to fix the 18th
of this month as the day of final adjournm enl.
The motion miscarried-as might have been
anticipated by the most careless observer. He
thought that, from present indications, for all the
good that would be done, the ad journment mi ght
as well take place on the day he proposed as be
postponed to later period. If the past is to
form rule by which we may judge OF aae future,
we think but little will be done IN the next two
months, and probably the next two weeks will
furnish ple time for the transaction of all the
business contemplated, provided the day of add
ioarnment be fixed. AS long as that day re-
mains unfxed, Congress will remain as inactive
as it has shown itself during the last six months.
Speech making, Presdent-making and Presl-
dent-headng will remain the order Of the day.
The House has been called deliberaiive as
sembIy But the term is mlsnomer. The de-
liberation belongs to the Caucus. In the House
there are duties to be performed, and those du-
ties being work of love and well paid for in
hand will be continu d with due industry until
the day of adjournment is fixed When that
is DONE real action begins. If Mr.. Fillmore is
sincere in his wish of settling the Tariff ques-
ton at the present. session, he should advocate
a motion for fixing the day of adjournment.

THE FOG CLEARING OFF.

The contest between the President and his
enemies is now so simpll6ed, that he who runs
may read.
They would either offend his nature and
make him accessory to gross fraud, or raise a
hue and cry against him as the author of all the
embarrassments of the country. But the ques-
ton before the People is now so simplifed, that
neither clustering nor magic can humbug them
any longer.
With the Treasury overlooking, and under
moderate duties, the President recommended
the distribution of the proceeds of the public
lands; and the ultra Wings solemnly promised
and enacted, that should any duty rise, for sup
port of Government, above 20 per cent, these
proceeds should go back into the general Ired-
sury so as TO keep dopn the tar on the People
upon their purchases Of imports to not erceed-
ing 20 per cent. Now what do we behold
with talthlessness beyond all example in civil
lized society, these gentlemen come forward and
say we will take advantage of the necessities of
the counlry--we must have revenue for proteC-
ton, to any amount, beyond the 30 per cent
and we must also keep The land money which
we so solemnly, but few months back promised
10 put back again into he Treasury, should any
occasion arise to tax imports higher than TWEEN
~ per cent And John Tyler, a true bred son
of the Old Dominion-educated in the school of
Jefferson and Madison-imbued with the princi
pies of Wythe and of Henry-s called upon to
put his hand to an act Of political perfdy, une-
qualled in the annals of any people pretending
to reverence the principles of common honesty !
Surely, these gentlemen forget with whom they
are dealing. But it has always been the char :
acterslic OF aristocrats and selfish pdrtisdns
TO undervaue the intelligence of the People,
and to measure the value Of public faith and
honesty by false and debasing standard. Time
will soon awaken them from their deusior, if
they be not demented beyond all hope. They will
be taught, or are much mistaken, that the
hard-6sted yeomanry of The country can yet dis
Germ between honor and good faith and their
opposltes. What guarantee foi public virtue,
when the highest magistrate of the land is to be
driven seduced to trample its plaines precepts
under foot

THE CROTON RIVER IN NEW YORK.

Yesterday will long be remembered IN our annals
The day when the waters of Ere were married 10
those of old Ocean was only more important than that
which witnessed the completion and most gratifying
success OF the greatest work of the sor-ali Things
considered that the world has yet seen-the Cro'on
Aqueduct
For to-day pressed are for space, we can only
saw that the moment when the gate was iiited and,
amid the roar of artillery and in the presence OF tens
of thousands OF spectators the water of the Croton

We confess our unieigned pleasure at the re-
marks made by this distinguished gentleman on
the reception of the Presidents late Veto Mes
sage.
A favored son Of the gallant State of South
of his character, of courteous and social habits,
and an unqueslioned patriot, we know no man
in the House from whom we would have pre-
ferred such remarks TO have fallen. These
remarks have been published in former num-
Der of this paper, and eloquenlly speak for them
selves.

MIR. WELLER.

We venture to say that the noble State OF
Ohio, among the many strong and sterling
champions of her interests on the floor of Con
gress, has no one who is better enabled at the
present moment to sustain the character and in
terests Of the State, or who has more to expect
from an appreciation in future Of his ability and
patriotism, than this youthful though rising
statesman. We shall take great pleasure in
submitting the remarks made, on Thursday, in
the House, by this gentleman, to the perusal OF
our readers, as soon as they can he had for the
press.

john TrLER's JOHN JoNEs"-1he opposition of
The Wings TO the present Admnslr alton 10 almost
entirely confined 10 an incessant repetition of the
phrase at the head of this Article The lumenls ia
deienca of the President his measures met by
repeating "John Tyl,rs John Jones" Every propo-
son for change of policy is answered by loud cries
of "John Tyer's John Jones'" 1t seems probable
that the President, his cabinet and friends will all be
compelled 10 succumb the incessant reiteraon of
this ominous sentence. How, in fact, is it possible to
retute opponents who resort 10 other argument
10 defend an Administration against which no other
charge is made. Ii is an undenable fact that the
President is named John Tyler and that the editor of
the Madsonan bears the appeation of John Jones
What moro do the Wings require TO induce them To
oppose both. They show better reason for
their opposition TO General Jackson and Mr.. Van
Buren,.
1t is evident to that the President must sink un-
der the weight of this vocferation No human being
could resist Only think of it, John Tylers John
Jones, repeated day after day by all the Wing press
and stump orators in every possible variety OF Ca
dence and with every conceivable variation Of inona-
iion-sometmes in the low whisper OF contempt, then
in The loud of de1unciation and again with the
que, sheer of malignity Nothing stand II. The
constant dripping of ater will wear away rock,

directly and incidentally connected with the
Message.
Mr.. WHITE, of Indiana, followed. He was
not pery choice in the language which he APP
piled towards President Tyler, nor did he ex-
press for that gentleman the feelings of a
friend and he furnished the country with the
;mportant information that the " Madieonien'

And the House then adjourned.
In the Senate, Mr.. BUCHANAN said that he had
been requested to present the proceedings OF public
meeting, held in the city of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania,
on the Odd ultimo, in favor OF protective tariff From
the rames appended to the call of this meeting,
amounting in all to fourteen hundred, and from The
character of the individuals who took part in it, he
could say with truth that it meeting, as IT pur-
ported to be, without distinction of party In justice
10 those gentlemen, and his opinions, he felt
hound to saw that there could not be collected in any
norton of the United States equal number OF more
respectable men, or men whose opinions were emil
tied TO more weight, than theirs. The proceedings
were altogether in favor of protective tariff; and,
while he presented the memorial, he deemed it due
to himself to say that never had there been more
proptious period since he entered into public life, for
adjusting this question terms satisfactory and per-
manent than the present If the hopes OF the coun-
try were de stned to defeat, would be by the forced
and unnatural connection of this question with the
public lands The necessary to meet an eco
nomical administration of the Government and etec-
hay to extinguish the public debt WILL of ITSELF al
ford sufficient incidental protection to domestic
manufactures and in assessing the revenue, he
for one, would discriminate in favor of those
articles the protection of which was absolutely
necessary for our independence in time of war. Or
this subject he concurred with General jackson II
his celebrated Message Congress the 10th of Jan
1893 in relation to the 5. Carolina controversy tina
it would not be proper to provide that the same rat
of duty shall be imposed upon the protected article
that shall be imposed upon the unprotected; which
moreover, would be severely oppressive to the oor
