MEssRs. EDIToRs: A few evenings since,
| attended meeting at Apollo Hall, where
several addresses Were delivered before the
Liberty Lyceum, an Association composed
wholly Of youths Of the age of Is and 90
years, whose talents l may say would deco
rate the members of some societies more ad-
vanced in age and experience. Although the
evening was inclement, there was a goodly
number of ladies and gentlemen present, who
were highly pleased with the entertaining and
eloquent speeches of Masters Morsell, Waters,
and Johnson. The first named youth, r. II.
Morsel did remarkably well. His subject was
the Development of Truth. 1t was delivered
with great frmness of mind. The Cd speaker
was d. s. Waters. His subject party Spir-
iD he handled with much ability. II was in
deed truly sublime and most mastery pro-
ducton whilst he delivered il there was a
death-ike silence pervaded the audience, and
the flashes of his eloquence would justly beau
ufy many speech which | have listened to
in the halls of Congress. Mr.. Johnson did
very well. His subject was, Themes for
Thought. II was very fashy piece of COM
position, and delivered well. The audience
was dismissed with the greatest pleasure after
their agreeable retreat. AN AUDITOR

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.


The bill from the Senate to provide for the
organization of corps Of sapPers and miners
was taken up, when
Mr.. Giddings made speech against an In
crease of the army. He said the Mexicans
fek. as he did, that the God of Justice was on
their side
The bill was passed by vote of-yeas l25,
nays9.
The bill for the support of the Military Aca-
denny at West Point was consdered-an
amendment was pending to abolish the insll-
tuition after the cadets now there shall have
graduated.
Mr.. Sawyer spoke in favor Of the amend
ment, and was particularly severe on the Of
ticers of the navy waiting orders. He said
that the band that played their music on the
Presidents grounds had better be on the banks
of the Rio Grande playing Yankee Doodle.
Mr.. Tibbatts noticed Mr. Giddings SO far as
TO say 1t is wonder that the gentleman from
Ohio did not fear when he made his remarks,
that thunder-bolt would strike him dead.
The committee rose, and resolution was
adopted to take the bill out the committee in
ten minutes
The House took recess until halfpast Sc
