which has been very distressing and has frequently
been unable 10 leave her bed. The rupture was very

was entirely relieved of the disease OF the heart and
the rupture has almost entirely disappeared.
She has also had the dropsy, and was very much

fitted, as she had such a complication of Diseases
But it has, as strange may appear, relieved her
ofthe dropsy. l am that This statement is so

WAsnINGToN, Jan. G.


The appearance of John p. Gaines. the
member from Kentucky, excited great deal
of interest in the House this morning. The
battles in which he has participated, and the
hair-breadth escapes he has made, have given
a good degree of interest to his appearance in
the House.
The call upon the President for the cores
pondence, leading TO the return of Santa An
ma, and for the instruction of Mr.. Slidcl. does
not sit well upon the minds Of the members in
the minority. An attempt was made 10 recon-
slider, entirely unsuccessful of course. and the
motion was laid on the table by vote Of l07
to IS.
The President, by the terms Of the rcsolu-
ton, has no alternative but to communicate the
papers called for. Having hitherto been kept
back, the discretionary power is not given to
the President.
The Southern Mail question excitcs much
interest here, and has been debated to-day,
with some pretty hard blows against the Post
Master General. Cave Jahnson was present.
From present indications he must be driven
from the position he has assumed. f. Is.
