BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH
REPORTED FOR THE GALAXY

The Washington Correspondent of the Nov
York Express, gives the following account d,
the Wing Congressional Caucus
WASHINGTON, Jan. %
The Wing Congressional Caucus was VOL
attended, one hundred persons being presen.
Mr.. Mangum presided. The question to b.
considered was shall the Wing party 90 M,
National Convention. Some of the Tsvlo.
men argued postponement of the question
and Mr.. Gentry, of Tenn, spoke for an bour
and a half against any decision now in favorof
a Convention. He argued the claims of Gen
Taylor with great force, upon the meeting and
the advantages Of running him, Independent
of any Convention, and by the simple primsrv
organization of the people. The Wings gener.
ally, however, have ever been fora convention
and nothing short of convention-and would
in no event unite on Gen. Taylor, unless he
comes out as a Wing. The result of the Can
Gus was vote in favor ola convention.
The Commercial Advertiser of Sat even
ing, makes the following announcement in 70
gard to the Treaty of Peace:
We are enabled to say, there arc letters in
the city from Members of Congress of both
parties, which declare in the most unequivocal
terms, that the form ofa treaty or arrangement
has been received at Washington, corespon-
ding generally, with the propositions originally
made by Mr.. Trist to the Mexiran Commits
sioners, and that it would be agreed to by the
Administration.

MRS. GAINES LIBERALITY.

The Washington Correspondent of the New
York Post, gives the following account of Mrs
Gaines liberality:-
''AIrs. Gaines good fortune is quite topic
here. She has added fuel to the excitement
among the gossips, by presenting two very es-
Unable young ladies here, five thousand do
lars each. The decision ofthe Supreme Court
sas5ps many chain of title heretofore relied
on by the property holders in Louisiana, and
the demand Of .'mense profits" allowed to her
by law, will be ruinous TO many. 1t is with
very great pleasure, then, that | am able to
state on good authority that the successful lit
igant will waive this legal claim, and is will
ling to give quit claim deeds TO innocent and
honest purchasers, without eXtorting an unrea-
sonable consideration. This is honorable and
must silence envy. Indeed, from many of her
private acts of benevolence which have come
to nv knowledge from time TO time, ! rejoice
in the prosperity of the lady"

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. goth, 1S4S.

There was no business transacted in either
House of Congress to-day. The two branches
came together at the usual hour; and in the
House, Immediately after the journal was read;
Mr.. Brodhead, Pennsylvania, announced the
death of one of his colleagues, Mr.. Hornbeck
after which the usual resolution was adopt
ed, and the House adjourned. a like service
was performed in the Senate. Mr.. Webster
was engaged in the Supreme Court, and drew
large numbers of ladies and gentlemen to
hear him. The case was in relation to CO.
partnership.
There is very little new matter of general
concern about which to write. Mr.. CLAY at
tracts many visitors to the Uuited States Hotel,
where he has rooms and his presence here at
this time, of course, causes much specula-
ton in regard to the Wing candidate for the
Presidency. 1t is generally conceded here
that Mr.. Cas- will be the Loco Foco nominee.
He is ultra and unprincipled, and will carry
out any measure his party may propose. His
election would, in my opinion, be more disas-
ferrous to this country than even the election of
Mr.. Polk has BEEN and thesefore it should be
the aim Of every true friend of the Union, Of
Peace, and of political morality, to defeat him,
or any of his stamp.
Mr.. Clay has many influential friends, who
press with all their zeal and ability his nomi-
nation. They profess to believe him the
strongest man that can be made a candidate.
That he has many warm supporters in the
country, no one can or will deny, and that he
would make model of an Executive, no Wing
at least will question. Yet that he is at the
present time the most available man is the
point on which the party differ. There seems
to be strong disposition evinced to make the
next campaign victorious one The present
position OF affairs here and in Mexico renders
this desirable almost beyond calculation. If
the Wings are defeated this fall, and such
man as Cass elected, have, and so have 9TH
ers older and ADLER than myself, gloomy fore
bodings of the future destiny of this country.
Mr.. Clay's friends are numerous and influen-
tial, but there is very large class Of ardent
and enthusiastic Wings who doubt the policy
of running him again, and think that with him
defeat would be inevitable. This class gener-
ably prefer Taylor as a candidate, though there
are many who name Mclean, and Scott, and
Webster, but at the present time in the city
OF Washington the two main currents of opin-
ion 90 for Clay and Taylor.
have heard some Taylor men say that they
would run him, Convention or no Convention;
and j have heard some Clay men say that
they would vote for ''no one but Harry Clay
as long as he lived, and that after his death
they would 90 for his Executors" Now all
this is mere verbiage, and is no indication of
what either party will eventually do. Among
the wise and discreet men, National Conven-
ton is advocated, and by the decision of that
body they will abide. 1t is generally conceded
here that Taylor is Wing, but the equivocal
position hegnow holds, Of seeming to court the

HoUsE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

The Standing COMMITTEES being called upon Tor
reports, a number of private bills were reported,
read twice and referred.
Mr.. Rockwell, from the Committee on Claims,
reported. with amendments, resolution proyld-
ing for the preparation and publication, alphabet
ically, of all private claims from the commence
ment of the XIVth to close ofthe XXIXth Con-
CESS, with the action of the House and Senate on
each particular case. One amendment purposes
to employ James Young, at a compensation not
exceeding that paid to theengrossng clerks OF the
House, the other clerks 10 render such assistance
as may not be inconsistent with their ordinal Y
duties.
An animated debate followed between Mr..
Rockwell of CT. Mr.. Rockwell of Mass MIR. Evans
of Nd. Mr. Pollock, Mr.. Cobb of Ga. Mr.. Henley,
Mr. Houston of Del. Mr.. Smith of Ill. and others,
as to the cheapest and best plan.
The Yeas and Nays were called several times
on various motions and amendments, and finally
the report was agreed TO- and the resolution adopt
ed-Yeas %, Nays 50.
The House went into COMMITTEE of the Whole,
Mr. j. r. Ingersoll in the Chair, on the Presidents
Message.
Mr.. Thompson of Indiana, addressed the COM
mittee. He said he had been represented TO the
New York papers some weeks since, as having
made a speech on this floor in favor of the subJu-
CATION of Mexico. And in the Onion Of Tuesday
he was again reported as having made speech
in favor of the war and the Administration. lie
had made neither. He would take this opportu-
nifty to state his sentiments, and proceeded TO dis
cusS the question He insisted that the Nueces,
and not the Rio Grande, was the true line OF
boundary between the United States and Mexico.
