CONGRESSIONAL INDUSTRY.

The House yesterday ceased for time the
consideration of the Revenue bill, TO take up
that appropriating the expenditures demanded
by the Navy. The authority to pay the neces-
sary expenses of that service may, no doubt, be
required at the present time; for appropriation,
bills take effect from the first day of the caen-
dar year, and it is therefore in the nature of
things that money may now be due for building
and repairing vessels, and for paying officers and
men. Some months have elapsed since the
first of January. A reform in the calendar,
however, we believe, is not required-lor
the calendar year can be measured by the
date fixed for passing the bill ordering the pay
Of members of Congress. The pensioner, the
soldier, the sailor, and the clerk, must learn a
new astronomical system, which fixes the
commencement Of the year at different periods,
according to the social graduation of Importance
fixed BY the Legislature. The private claim
ants on public justice, of course, must catch
some of the intercaary days.

TOBACCO.

We have before US document, printed by
the order Of Congress, which must prove highly
interesting to the citizens of the Southern and
Western States. 1t is letter from the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, containing statements
showing the probable quantity of tobacco raised
in the different States, exported abroad and con-
sumed al home, together with statistical tables,
showing the aggregate amount Of manufactures
of tobacco number of persons employed and
capital invested in the United States, and other
papers illustrative of the tobacco culture and
trade. This document WAS prepared in answer
to a call of the House of very comprehensive
character 1t contains all the information which
the Secretary could gather, but the knowledge
it furnishes in relation to this great staple is still
meagre and imperfect. For this defect the
Secretary accounts He says: 'Perhaps there
is no domestic product of the magnitude OF the
one now under consideration to which so little
attention has been paid by this Government,
either as to its enlarged growth at home, by
counteracting foreign restrictions or to the pre-
TO exhibit its cultivation, growth, manufacture
and consumption in the United States" From
the cause here stated no public records exist
which contain extensive information con
corning this important staple, and mu n there
fore of the matter contained in the document
has been compiled from various sources sup
piled by the talent and industry of private indi-
vduals. Yet with all the disadvantages en-
countered in preparing it, much knowledge, no
doubt valuable, may be derived from it.
In reply to one requisiton in the call of the
House. the document contains paper from
Mr.. Lyford, from which we learn that Virginia
and Maryland, and probably North Carolina,
were the first States in which tobacco
was first culivat d as staple. In Ken
lucky, Ohio, and Tennessee, 1t has been SO
cultivated ever since the adoption OF the Fede-
raj Constitution. Besides these States, Mlssou~
ri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, In
diana, and Florida, are engaged in its culture.

REMARKs.-W have the material, but not
the time Besides, the Colonel is not 'worth
the candle" and is nearly defunct already
His "Last Card" is to divert US from our game
with the politicians. He would put us on the
sswrong scent"-cause us to take the wrong
road, as he did in the Cilley duel-but we are
engaged in the work of sshsttering right arms, D
in earnest, not clustering about it, and intend to
'sbe in at the DEATH"
The Colonel may write about our celebrated
Louisville poetry, and about Mr.. Parmelee suo-
ceedlng us, as much as he pleases-but he
shall not divert our attention from the present
absorbing game Of chess. We are battered,
however, by his attempt. 1t gives the lie to his
charge of imbecility.

iyet our pair of virgin editors would have
people believe that Congress is an innocent sci
of lambs, and the President perfect tiger
But it seems the President is not alone,
even in Washington, in his opinions about
the misdoings of Congress. Messrs. Nor
ris and Goode, both men of sterling char
acter; both men belonging to the Church OF
God both wise and good men, admittedly, have
declared in public letters kindred sentiments.
Does the Intelligencer think that an organ, paid
at the rate of $4,000 year Of Government
patronage by Congress, is to be taken as fea-
theirs weight Of evidence against the declara-
ton of such men as these ? These gentle
men, we think, are both of the Methodist per-
suasion of religion, and in despite of the reli-
gious impress which both of them bear about
their manners and 10 their conduct, in desl lite
of the sterling honesty and patriotism stamped
on their letters, what has been their fate? Bit
ter denunciations, an accusation OF the most
sordid motives, charges Of corruption and bril-
berry!
In conclusion, we beg leave to say to the In
telligencer that it has misconceived or misre-
presented the interrogatory Of the President,
when he asks, shall small clique of ''mousng
politicians" use Congress for their own ends, to
the detrment of the country2 The President
does not intend the remarks, of course, for many
gentlemen of the Wing party, who, it is very
evident, deprecate the mad course of their asso-
ciates, but yet fear to disconnect themselves
from party trammels. The influence of the
''mousing politicians has been tolerated to
this time in Congress, but we hope their day
has now passed away.

The GOVERNOR GENERAL OF CANADA late
Montreal Herald contains no less than seven and a
half columns filled with the names of persons APP
onted justices of the peace in four several districts
in Lower Canada. The whole list embraces more
than 200 names. The Herald is far from satisfied
with the appointments-ther too many French
names for its TASTE and sooh to say, Jean Baptiste,
Francois, Antoine, &c., do quite frequently.
Sir Charles Bagot is evidently attempting to carry
out the policy of Lord Durham, so far giving the
two races fair participation in the Government
