CONGRESS.

We discover that the two Houses
of Congress, and the President ofthe
U.states are still at loggerheads. from
the following article in the Boston
Daily Mail of the Goth ult.:
"On Saturday evening, Mr.. Adams
attacked the President very severely
for sending Message to the House,
stating that he had signed the Appor-
tionment Bill, and giving his reasons
for so doing; which he considered a
very remarkable way Of doing bust
ness. A long clamerous, and vindlc-
tive personal debate ensued between
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Wise, Mr.. Under
wood, Sc, which continued till the
hour of adjournment, which is repre-
scented as having been disgraceful to
allconcerned."

A BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-How.
ever dark and disconsolate the path
of life may seem TO any man, there is
an hoT of deep and undisturbed re.
pose at hand when the body may sink
INTO dreamless slumber. Let not
the imagination be startled, if this
resting place instead Of being bed of
down; shall be a bed of gravel, or the
rocky bed of the tomb. No matter
where the poor remains of man may
be, the repose is deep and undisturl-
! ed; the Sorrowful bosom heaves 10
more; the tears are dried up in their
fountains; the aching head is at rest,
and the stormy waves of earthly trib.
ulation roll unheeded over the place
ofgraves Let armies engage in fear
tul conflict over the very bosom of the
dead, not one of the sleepers heed the
Splht striving triumph, or respond TO
the rendlng shouts of victory. How
quiet those countless millions slumber
in the arms Of their mother earth!
The voice of thunder shall not ava.
ken them; the loud cry of the ele-
mentS--the winds-the waves--nor
even the giant tread of the earthquake,
shall be able to cause an inquietude
in the chamber of death. They shall
rest and pass away; the last great
battle shall be fought, and then a sill
yer voice at first heard, shall rise to
a tempest, and penetrate the voiceless
grave. For the trumpet shall sound,
and the dead shall hear his voice.

lowing truly patriotic toast was sent

CATOCHUS-AN APPALLING
NARRATIVE.

There is a thrilling narrative under
this title in the Boston Miscellany for
June. 1t processes to be the expert
ence of a man who went through all
the funeral ceremonies, apparently in
animate, and yet with a consciousness
of all that passed around him.
The main incident of thit extraor-
binary story of Catochus is declared
to be fact--and who candoubt what
is thus gravely stated in a public PRINT
The writer depicts his feelings as
he passed through the various tranSi-
tons between his supposed death and
the moment when he was about to be
inferred, in the following words:

down alive in the charnal-house a

occurrences that l had ever read came
to my mind, and the hope of.ultimate
recovery grew feebler and feebler.
The night came, and how dreary and
amending it seemed! One after an

ton, ! lost my sensation. 1t must

DIABOLICAL OUTRAGE.

An outrage of the most diabolical
nature occurred at Pottsville, Pa, a
few days ago, which is thus given in
the Philadelphia Times:
About two or three weeks ago,
there appeared III this Borough, a
PhrenologiSt, from some where Down
East. He delivered several lectures
at the Academy before large audi
ences, until he obtained a private
class, &c.
lii the meantime he invited differ
ent persons to call on him at his home,
to have their respective heads exa-
mined gratuitously. He invited more
particularly the ladies, and among
those that went to be examined by
him, wasa young girl, about Ia years
ofage,a Miss NJ; this was his chiefvic-
tim; being alone in the chamber with
her, he attempted TO outrage her per-
son, the particulars Of which are too
diabolical to mention, and untt Tor
publication.
The girl Immediately informed her
guardian of the outrage committed
upon her person, who very promptly
prosecuted the Phrenologist. He was
brought before magistrate, who
bound him over in the insignificant
sun Of twn hundred dallars, for which

that the determination to run Mr. Gu

shall be productive OF any beneficial effect what
ever il is absolutely necessary that radical
change should be made in their position on
board of our public vessels.
We will not now say that such a reform is
called Tor by the duty incumbent on the Gov
eminent OF furnishing 10 others an example of
showing respect 10 worth and intelligence, even
though accompanied only by the humby sound
ing title OF professor, The convclion-how-
ever reluctant we may be TO admit its forced
upon us, that Notwithstanding all our boasts Of
the encouragement given 10 education, lis min
listers are in general but little respected and but
poorly remunerated. The Government should
give an example Of better things 1t has no
other means of manifesting its respect for edu-
cation than by showing high appreciation for
professors, both in the Army and in the Navy.
As far as the Navy is concerned, this respect is
not shown. We hope then, that, regarding the
good of the service aud the responsibility Of
knowledge, Congress will speedily take this
matter in hand, and give that position TO the
professor which the importance OF his services
merits.

CONGRESS-.

On Saturday, in the House, after the reading
of the Journal sundry Executive documents were
read. One from the Treasury Department, cor
Getting certain mistakes with regard TO Treasu-
!, notes two from the War Department two
from the Navy Department, and one from the
Past Office Department, in relation to the car
r,pg of letters by foreign steamers. These
were varlously referred. The last was at first
,pferred to the Committee Of Post Offices and
Post Roads; but afterwards portion Of it,
which was said to relate to the transportation of
passengers by foreign steamers was, on the mo-
non Of Mr. Gushing, referred to the Committee
On Commerce.
A motion was made TO go into Committee
OF the Whole, The yeas and nays were re
fused but the vote being taken by tellers, the
motion prevailed by vote Of S3to so.
Mr. Wise, who was entitled TO the floor, went
INTO the debate on the Loan bill, delivered an able
yndcation Of his amendment in reply to Mr..
Marshall, and commented deliberately on the r
guments Of that gentleman, made on Friday.

plan OF uniform postage tried. Our readers are
aware that this system has been followed of late
years in Great Britain, and has il is said, been
attended with great success. However people
OF wealth may disregard the charges at present,
perhaps OF necessity, levied on letters, the re-
ductlon OF those charges 10, say three or four
cents, would be great relief and comfort 10 the
poorer classes, who constitute the great mass of
the population. Such a diminution would, as
we think, increase the aggregate receipts, par
tlcularly if made payable IN dduance, by ad-
ding 10 the number of letters, and preventing
the losses that arise from what are called dead
letters, or letters that are not called for, but
which nevertheless go TO swell the amount OF
service rendered. The present, however, may
not be the proper time for an experiment which,
in this land of magnificent distances, might
possibly be attended by loss, when loss can
not conveniently be borne. We leave the mat
ter with the able head of the Department and
with Congress, in the confident hope that his
wise suggestions will meet, at the hands Of that
body the prompt and serious consideration TO
which they are so justly entitled
