TELEGRAPHlC INTELLIGENCE.



We received great variety of intelligence by
telegraph yesterday. but nothing of striking i'm
portance
From Washington we learn that no business
was transacted in either house of Congress yes
terday. The funeral solemnities to the me-
mory OF the late Hon. James A. Black were dis
charged In an appropriate and imposing manner
by the members of Congress, and all the Official
dignitaries. The case of the Herald correspon-
dent was not yet decided. The Germans Of
Washington are preparing to MAKE a demonstra-
ton on behalf of France and liberty.
We refer to the dispatches below for several
interesting items of intelligence, together with
the Legislative procee dngs, market reports, SC

The Senate convened at the usual hour, when
the Vice President resumed his seat, and PRAYER

Alter organizing, on motion, the Senate adj

purpose OF uniting with that branch OF the ma

ingIOn.
A feeling and eloquent prayer was offered UP
by the Chaplain, the Rev. Mr.. Gurley, which he
followed in the delivering Of tervent and ap-
propriate sermon. selecting his text from the

Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise
again."
the course of his remarks, he alluded feel
ingy to the uncertainty OF lite, exemphtied more
especially in the sffllcting visiations of death.
of which those present had SO painfully and sor.
rowiully been cOgnizant during the present ses-
sion. He dwelt upon the promised resurrection
to the righteous, and the consultations to be
drawn from 1t by the living, to whom it gavt
cheering hopes OF a future and blessed immOr-
tality beyond the grave, where "the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary are at rest"
where would be joined together, in one as.
sembly, those redeemed in Christ, never again
to be separated.
After the conclusion of the sermon, a process.
sion was formed, which proceeded to the Con-
gressional burylng ground, where the last sad
rites OF burial were Performed, and the large con-
course of people in attendance dispersed.

bravery of Worth, or the tremendous military
capacity of some other one Little is said Of the
courage, the endurance, the honor, the forbear-
ance, and the briliancy Of the private soldiers
of the American citizens-who volunteered,
aud enlisted, and who fought all the battles
and shed their blood in the war. There
is hardly common soldier in that army
of heroes who marched from Vera Cruz
to Mexico, who would not have behaved
and conducted himself with more discretion and
prudence, as a man and an individual, than what
General Scott and all his generals have displayed
in the recent dlscreditable and disgraceful quar-
rels among themselves, about the honor of those
victories, which were fought and bled for, and
won, by the men, We do not deny that Gene
raj Scott aud his associates have displayed
great genius and skill in their dispositions and
plans, and that they accom- lished much; but
why should the whole world be convulsed by
their ridiculous persona! quarrels, springing from
vanity and ambition, while the private soldiers
the bone aud muscle-are to be forgotten, and
receive credit for little or nothingl The two
campaigns in Mexico were the most brillian,
that ever took place in the history of any coun.
try, ancient or modern. They reflect the high.
est honor on the American people and the Anne.
rican troops-on their courage, their skill, their
endurance, and their genius. As military men,
the generals have also exhibited great skill; but
in every other point of view, our diplomatists
and generals are mere chidren-irritable, fretful,
Disconnected big boys; and in this condemnation
we include Mr.. Polk aud his diplomats and
Gen. Scott, and all those he is quarreling with
In fact, General Taylor seems to be the only man
Of common sense among the whole, either mill
tary or diplomatic.
In this view of the recent campaigns, and the
conquest Of Mexico, we think, after all, that the
best thing that could be done by the American
people Is to cast off all those generals and dlplo-
mats, and principally Mr.. Polk, General Scott,
and the whole bunch Of them; to have an entire
revolution in our country, and put in the White
House that PLAIN, simple man, Zachary Taylor,
and see if we could not then get rid of such nom
sense in high places as we see perpetrsted every
day
