[Mr. RArHBuN indicated his favor to the amend

am astonished CONTINUED Mr.. 81 that my
friend on my left says he is in favor of it. Now,
undertake to say that from the State of New York
this objection ought not to come. Let them look
for moment land he had been at some pains to as
certain the facts) and see how many persons there
were in the army from New York and from the
other States of the Union; and he had made this ex-
animation in anticipation Of his friend from Ken
lucky being appointed that place. and he had looked
at that gentemans State to see how many officers
of the army il now has. He had the whole num-
Der in the army, and in addition to that he had the
number of officers in the navy from the differ
ent States; end he found that New York
has now 1872 officers in the army and
that Kentucky has SO, (the least Of any State
in the Union in proportion to its popuation) Ken
lucky, Ohio, and Georgia, stand at the tail of the
list and Virginia and New York at the head; and it
came with bad grace, II appeared to him, from that
quarter to ask that the President be deprived from
selecting from the ranks Of the people, when he
a man well versed in the military tactics of the
country MS are those educated at West Point; and
permit him to say, with four times as much natural
sense as those who had been there receiving their
education in so much style at the public expense.
He had instituted this comparison to show
and he Intended TO use 1t on another oscasion to
show more fully the situation Of things in regard to
the different States in this respect. From Now
there were 90; and from Georgia still less; and yet,
sir, il the President, in his discretion, should see
proper TO select man from Georgia, from Ken
lucky, or from Ohio, he is proposed to be prohibit
ed-by whom
By those who have four times their proportionate
number already, by the wfu act and intention OF
these individuals. He put it, then, to the sense OF
this House whether, under the circumstances, they
would assent to this unjust limitation and re-
strcton of the discretionary power Of the President
in selecting his officers from those best qualified for
the service And he asked gentlemen if they had
son, neighbour or friend, who wished to enlist m
the army whether they would prefer him to be led
by man who is supposed at least well 10 under
stand the nature OF his business at the West, or
would they prefer him to be led by gentleman who
has spent his whole life in the barracks, and in the
ease and luxury Of the military academy at West
Point II was question for every gentleman to
take home to HIMSELF and when he should have
answered il, Mr.. S. thought he would be decidedly
against the proposed amendment Of the gentleman
from New York.

the committee.

AUTUMN.

She hath gone, the gorgeous SUMNER
YetOn path. and wood, and hill
The traces of her rosy feet
Are lightly brightly still;
And, as the sunlight paling
On evening leaves its flush,
In the shadowy arms of Autumn
Still we revel in her blush.
Art thou gone, oh f! lovely summer!
| am wandering where the trees,
The grand high priests of nature,
Swing their censors TO the breeze;
Swing perfumes on the hazy air,
While through the arches dim
Comes far, and sweet, and solemnly
Their murmured, mystic hymn.
/ am wandering through the forests,
Through the summer woods-but 10!
There droops and sways yellow flag,
Amid the green beech bough;
And from the tufts of waving fern
Spring shafts Of paly gold,
And the long grass 'plaineth whisperingly
When rising winds are bold.
And the balm flower by the streamlet,
The thistle-down that sails,
A fairy craft DER mount and mead
Urged on by mimic gales,
The golden rod bright glancing
Where the calm and sunny light
Falls trickling through the woven leaves
These whisper of thy flight.
Alas, alas for summer gone,
Alas when death has snow
Shall heap upon her rosy lips
And on her radient browl
Alas! alas for darker days
When Nature, pale with dread,
Shall stand, a stricken Niobe,
Alone amid her dead,

The fact of the recent loss of the stea-
mer New York, while on her way from
Galveston to New Orleans, has been al
ready briefly stated IN this paper. The
details connected with this melancholy
event by which number Of human be-
ings were suddenly swept into eternity,
arc given in the following letter from one
of the survivors. The letter was not
written for publication, but ii narrates the
events Of the fearful catastrophe with a
simplicity and power which will cause it
to be read with deep and thrilling interest.
from the New Orleans Bulletin.
My DEAR SIR:-Many items of an in
dividual character might be picked from
the surviving passengers of the New
York. embracing their sufferings and their
fortunate rescue from watery grave. l
write YOU off a few pages principally
connected with what came under my own
observation.
The first night out found the violence
of the wind strained the upper works of
the boat so much as TO cause the cabin to
leak badly, and, indeed, | was fearful that
If would be blown off, and | knew if that
should occur that it would, no doubt,
cause our destruction, as our wheel rope
led along the promenade deck, and that
some of the machinery would probably
be damaged by such an event. At about
IOP. NJ, Sunday night. was lying in
nv berth in one Of the after State Rooms
on the larboard side, and observed the
quarter boat, expecting it TO be carried
away every moment, when, sure enough,
the after davit parted; some OF the hands
were called, and every effort made to save
the boat. AS we had tremendous sea
running, and she was bringing up with a
surge. told the men, alter they had
made several attempts to secure II, to cut
away the forward falls and let II go adrilt
as the boat was, doubtless, stove. They,
however. hoisted up the after part of the
deck. and while securing 1t we were
stricken with a heavy sea which carried
awav the boat, and took portion OF our
bulwarks. We had two lady passengers
on board, and few children. As was
near the ladies' cabin when | heard them
CRYING for assistance, I went in and tried
TO console them. They were in great
distress. | told them that all had been
done in our power to save the boat, and
we must rely alone on Divine Providence
and He would do what was best for US.
Capt. Phillips came into the cabin al
about one o clock and told the passengers
Gentlemen, if you will 60 below anc
light the chain upon the deck we may
save the boat; it is the only chance W.
have for our lives" ] turned to severa

The New Orleans DELTA Of the Goth
uIt. contradicts the reported arrest of Col.
HARNEY, which was circulated in the
New Orleans papers of the day before.
The Delta had received letters from San
Antonia as late as the 10th Sept, which
make no mention of any such arrest. A
letter of the Sd ult. states that Col. H..
with three companies of the I'd Dragons,
returned on the 26th of August from the
Preside de Rio Grande, having been alb
sent a month. A letter Of the 10th Sept
from San Antonio says: "Such is the ac.
tiyity of preparations for getting of the
troops in the quartermaster's department
that the clerks are at business till two Of
three o'clock every morning. There i:
no doubt but we will have tight piece
| of it at Chihuhua. The first division
'of the army leaves here in three or fou
days; the balance will follow in tn,
course of ten, or, at farthest, fifteen days.
