HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

In the House Of Representatives, after the dis
,posal of some unimportant business, MIR. Rock
well, of Connecticut, called NY the anti-Texas
resolutions of the Legislature Of that State, and
moved their reference to Committee OF the
Whole. He supported his motion by some re-
marks in which he complained Of the indignity
offered to Connecticut by the refusal Of the House
last week to print the resolutions. "
Mr.. Boyd denied that there was any disposi-
ton on the part of the House to give resolutions
or petitions of this character, the 60 by. He
thought, however, that under present circum-
stances, the proper course would be to lay them
on the table; he moved therefore, that the reso-
lutions in question, take that course, and that
they be printed. The motion prevailed.
Mr.. Bowlin, made an Intellectual motion to
suspend the rules in order to introduce his bill
for the organization Of Territorial Government
in Oregon. ,.

UNSEAWORTHY,


ga rather singular correspondence has
taken place recently between Mr.. Bancroft,
and various other persons in the navy.
which would indicate that Mr.. Il. had some
idea of putting a stop to some Of the abuses
which now exist in the navy. learn that q
short time ago MIR. Bancroft ordered Mr..
Purser Handy Of New York, to Join the
sIoop Of war Cyane, at Norfolk, which is
about TO 60 on cruise to the Pacific and
report himself for duty.
Now Mr.. Handy, understand, is the
president Of one Of the steamboat compan.
les whose boats navigate Long Island Sound
and had no desire 10 give up his snug BERTH
while he slncereI wished the government to
pay him his purser's salary for doing no.
thing for the service. Mr.. Handy, there.
fore, goes to DR.. Buschenberger, at the Ma.
val Hospital, New York, and DR.. r. gives
to him certificate that he is not fit for sea.
service, which the worthy purser enclosed
in letter to Mr.. Bancroft. Mr.. B. imme.
date y on receipt oft, placed Mr.. Handy on
furough. He then wrote 10 DR.. Ruschen.
berger, giving him a very sharp reprimand
for having ventured to give such certificate
without having had any orders from the de
partment to examine Mr.. Handy, and re
quest hlm for the future not TO give any
until he was asked for them. He then de-
tailed three surgeons to form board of sur.
vey, and sent orders to them to eport them
selves to Commodore Morgan, at the Naval
Asylum, Philade phia, and writes to Purser
Handy to do likewise. Mr.. Handy replies
that he will do so, and encoses in his letter
n n. L.
Rendezvous at New York, stating that he
had been intimately acquainted with Mr..
Handy's constitution for many years, and
that he was not fit for sea-servce.
Mr.. H. went to PhiadeI phia, the survey
was held, and the board reported TO the
Secretary OF the navy tina. Purser Handy
,CaS fiji for service. Hereupon Mr. Ban
croft wrote most peremptory letter to Mr..
Handy 10 join the Cyane forthwith, and al
the same time sent orders TO DR.. Wiley to
join the same vessel, informing him that as
he was so intimately acquainted with Mr..
Handy's constitution, he would be afforded
a most excellent opportunity of attending
to it during crulze. What will be the end
hardly like to give up his presidency Of the
steamboat company, and yet it would be
unjust 10 allow him to receive pay as purser
when he tried to escape the service for
which he is justly liable. learn also that
when the survey had been held, and the
reremptory order given for Purser Handy
to join the Cyane, he wrote letter cover.

RETURN OF COL. KEARNY.

Col. KEARNY, Of the LIST Regiment OF
Dragons, returned to this city on the 30th
ut. accompanied by some officers OF his
staff, and some citizens who were with him
during his late expedition to the Rocky
mountains.
AS we have before stated, col. X. left
fort Leavenworth on the 18th May, with
five companies Of his regiment. We no"
learn, that they marched to the Platte-uP
that rver-(Passing fort Laramie, which is
the traders post at the mouth Of Laramie
river)-up the Sweet Water, and marching
through the g South Pass OF the mountains,
they went to the waters OF Green river or
Colorado of the west, which flows to the
Pacific ocean, and which they reached on
the 3oth June.
From the South Pass" the Dragons
returned to fort Laramie, on the same route
they had passed up. From there they mar
ched towards the south, keeping near the
base of the Rocky mountains, and struck
the Arkansas about 100 miles from Taos
and $50 from Santa Fs. They then mar
ched down the Arkansas-passed Bent's
fort, another post Of the traders, and reach
eG fort Leavenworth on the Gath August.
having marched upwards of 2l0O miles in
less than 100 days, driving cattle with them,
which they ate, when they could not get
game, their horses depending entirely upon
The grass afforded by the pralries.
From fort Leavenworth to the "Souh
Pass" the dragons followed the Oregon
trail, passing all the emigrants, who were
getting on very well, and who are stated to
have been very numerous this year. From
the point where the dragons struck the
Arkansas, they marched on the Santa Fe
road, meeting several parties OF traders with
many wagons, and heavily loaded, on their
way out.
We also learn, that councils were held
with the Sioux, Chayennes and other In
dams, who were told by COL X. that he had
now opened that road Tor the white men,
and that their great Father would not con-
sent that any Indian or Indians should mo-
lest the whites, or their property, upon it,
that the emigrants to Oregon and the
Santa Fe traders must not be disturbed, as
they were passing peaceahly and quietly
through the country. tie told the Indians
however, that if they found any white men
bringing any whisky or liquor into their
country, that they should spill it on the
ground, which, it is thought, they will do.
This march of the lst Regiment of Ora
goons may prove to Sir Robert Peel and to
Senior Cuevas, that our Yankee troops Can
march to Oregon or to Santa Fe-and we
will tell the administa ton, that il il is deter
mined to take military possession OF either
or of both, that all we want is a regimen
or two OF regular troops as nucleus 70
our volunteers to form upon, and that, in
week after the cali for volunteers is soun

equal to these pills. As cathartic. they are en-
trely safe always etfcaciouS, AID operate with I'M

DR.. James M. Martien-Sir-A duty which
owe to the public as well to yourself, impels me
to advise you of the great benefits that have re-
suited, within my immediate knowledge, from the
use of your Medicines. Those unacquainted with
you, or with your long experience and unsur-
passed skill as practising physician, might readily
be inclined to believe, that you are attempting
base imposition upon the unsuspecting and credu.
lous. But it must be admitted, and the afflicted
who have used your Medicines are certainly under
the conviction that you have approximated perfec-
ton in the healing art. have, myself, admins
tered your FEVER PILLS, when life was almost
gone, and every hope had been abandoned by gen.
tlemen we'll skilled in your profession, and hare
nerer known the medicine to fail. l was present,
myself in nine cases of obstinate fever, in all of
which your Fever Pills were used. The rapid re.
covery of the patients, in erery instance, occa-
stoned surprise and astonishment in those who
were acquainted with their condition. have also
used your UNIVERSAL LIFE PILLS, and frequently
administered them to Others and am persuaded that
as a universal medicine, they are unequalled. In
fact, suffering humanity is largely indebted you,
and at no very remote period, the many blessings
you have been instrumental in imparting to the
afflicted, will meet with the grateful acknowledge
ments of a grateful people.
