PR0SPECTUS OF THE Con NgreSSiOMWI KegiSfeP.

NITH the commencement the Both Congress-,
 w we propose to continue the Congressional Register on the same plan us published during the last session. It will contain full and accurate re- port of the business proceedings of Congress, to- gether with sketches of the debates which take place in each house. The next Congress will be one of the most important which has assembled for years and IL is determination to give to tho peo- pie complete history of their proceedings. and at such low price that every person who takes .an interest in the acts of that body can procurea copy It is believed that the st session of the 30th Goa gross will continue least eight months; and we therefore propose to issue weekly, on a mammoth sheet octave form, the proceedings at the unprcce dented low rate of One dollar per copy for the session.

The Heart.

What care for bright, black eyes,
 Or those that boast a deeper blue Too soon, alas, their influence flies,
 'Tis far too transient 10 be true. What care for trcsscs fair,
 Or checks that mock the blushing peach, They are charms time will not spare, That all things fade they sadly teach. What care for coral lips,
 Or teeth that rival Pcrsia's gem, The rose, the orient dew that sips.
 At noon will wiiher on it's stem. But give to mo the bright, pure heart, 'fis there fain would beauty see, It to my life can joy iHnpart,
 On the heart, the heart for me.

Youth and Age.

 The following beautiful lines originally appeared n the EtOnian, a perodical started about twenty years ago, by the boys of Eton College. For truth, and melody. they are incoinparable: I often think each t0ttering form That limps along in life's decline, Once bore heart as young. as warm As full of idle thoughts as mine! And each has had its dream of joy, His own unequall'd pure romance; Commencing when the blushisg boy First thrills at lovely woInan's gla"cc. And each could tell his tale of youth, Would think its scenes of love evince More passions, more unearthiy truth, Than any tale before or since. Yes! they could tell of tender lays Al midnight penned in classic shades, or days more bright than modern days And maids more fair than modern maids or whispers in a willing car.
 Of kisses on blushing cheek; Each kiss, each whisper-faE too dear, Our modern lips to give or speak, Of passiohs too untimeiy crossed; Or passions sighted or betrayed or kindred spirits, early lost,
 And buds that blossom but 10 Jade. Of fbeaming eyes and tresses gay, Elastic form and noble brow, And forms that have all passed away, And left them what we see them now And is it thus-is human love
 So very light and frail thng' And must youths brightest visions move Forever on Times restless wing Must aIl the eyes that still are bright. And all the lips that talk of bliss, And all the forrns so fair to sight, Hcreafl only come to ihis' Then what are earth's best visions worth, If we al length must lose them thus: IT all we value most on earth
 Ere long must fade away from us2

Correspondence Of the Tribune J

y, July o.
To-day the propagandists in the Senate receiv-
ed partial check. Alter a debate of two hours.
Judge Buffers resolution to add two to the Com
mittee ON Territories was lost by vote of 27 to
II. Among the negative votes were Dix, H am
lin, Bradbury, Niles, Dodge and Walker of Wis
all Locos. Had the vote been declared in the
affirmative. two members would, in all probable
ity, have been placed upon the Committee ia
vorable to the Extension of Slavery to the newly
acquired Territories.
Mr.. Davis OF Mass. made an able and lucid ex.
position OF his views against the implied toer-
ance OF Slavery in the Oregon Territory. 1t was
impossible for any one TO adduce any very oripi-
nal argument against the measure; SO exhausted
has the subject become by frequent discussion in
and out Of the Senate. But Mr.. Davis torti.
fed the old positions with additional strength.
and exposed in clearer light the weakness OF his
adversares.
