CONGRESS.

In the House of Representatives this morn
ing the General Appropriation Bill was taken
up, and the question recurring on the amend
ment proposed by Mr.. Owsley, TO strike out the
salary for the Secretary to sign Land Patents it
was decided in the negative. Various amend
ments were then proposed at the instance of the
Committee on Public Buildings, which were
adopted The clause making an appropriation
for the Mint and its branches being read, Mr..
Carrot Davis moved to strike out the appropria
ton for the branch mint at Dahlonega. Thu,
gave rise to prolonged debate, in which Messrs.
Davis, Willis Green, and Morgan advocated
the amendment and Messrs. Black, Caldwell,
Habersham, A. V. Brown, Graham and Everett
opposed it, when the Committee finding Itself

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The message of President Tyler, published on
the opposite page Of this paper, is document
which we feel confident will meet with the
appreciation of the people. The recommendation
OF the suspension of the operation of the Land
Distribution bill, and the modification of the Ia
riff so as to produce an adequate permanent rev.
enue, are measures mperatively demanded by the
present exigences Of the financial affairs OF our Coy
ernment The credit of the nation is at lamentably
low ebb---the Treasury is empty, and consequently
the nation is without means in case OF an emergency
1t is conceded on all hands that the Treasury must be
repenished and to do this all sources of revenue that
can be made available must be resorted to. The re-
spectful but earnest manner in which the considera-
ton Of this subject is pressed upon Congress by the
President, shows disposition his part to sustain
the honor and credit Of the nation. Let Congress CO.
operate with the Executive in this matter-let the
same spirit of patriotism be exhibited by that body
and all will be well 1t is high time that mere party
predictions should be laid aside, and an effort made
by all for the good Of our common country.

RHODE ISLAND.

The majority against the new Constitution in Rhode
Island was 6l3 Total number Of votes, 1853
The Constitution thus rejected is different thing
from what is called the Free Suffrage Constitution,
which was the result of a popular movement, and
sustained by most of those who opposed the Con-
stitution just rejected. This Free Suffrage party now
claim that their own Constitution is in force,-it
having been approved, they say, by majority of
all the male inhabitants in the State above the age
of 81 years The other party contend that the pro-
ceedings in regard to the Free Suffrage Constitution
are utterly invalid have been begun continued, and
completed, not only without the concurrence of the
State authorities, but in despite of them and that
consequently the old charter remains in force, and
will continue to be in force, until new Constitution
is adopted under the sanction of the existing govern
ment The Legislature are now in session, and their
course in reference to this matter is regarded with

Melancholy Suicide--We just hear, with unfegned
regret, that Lieut.. Jno. Carroll, native OF Ken
lucky, and attached to the U. s. brig Borer, now
lying at the Navy Yard, committed suicide this
morning by shooting himself through the head with a
pistol.
He had charge of the deck and fired the fatal shot
about 3 1-2 O'Clock this morning, and fell dead on
the spot.
Mr. Carroll had for some days been melancholy,
and owing, as is believed-for nothing is known-to
arrangements in his private affairs, committed the
fatal act this morning.
The Coroners inquest was held oyer the body on
board the brig, the Mayor of Brooklyn presiding, and
a verdict of suicide was found.
We hear only one expression of sorrow on this oc.
casion for the loss in such way of an amable and
gallant officer, beloved by his messmates, and who
has done his country service-.N Y Com.
