One day a sturdy peasant, IN the onvIfcns

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, 1t
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..
Garrett Davis moved to strike out the appropria-
ton for the branch mint at Dahlonega This
gave rise to a 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
without quorum, rose, and the House ad-
journed.

RHODE ISLAND.

The majority against the new Constitution in Rhode
Island was 6l3. Total number of votes, 1859.
The Constitution thus rejected is different thing
from what is called the Free Suffrage Constitution,
sustained by most of those who opposed the Con-
sttuton just rejected. This Free Suffrage party now
claim that their own Constitution is in force,-t
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
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 Constitution
adopted under the sanction of the existing govern
ment The Legislature now in session, and their
course n reference to this matter is regarded with
considerable interest.-Jo,una Of Commerce.

Melancholy Suicide.-We just hear, with unfeigned
regret that Lieut.. Jno Carroll a native of Ken
lucky, and attached to the U. S. brig Borer, how
lying at the Navy Yard, committed suicide this
morning by shooting himself through the head with
pistol
He had charge of the deck and fired the fatal shot

the spot.
Mr. Carroll had for 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 Coroner's inquest was held over the body on
board the brig, the Mayor of Brooklyn presiding and
