WASHINGTON, Wednesday Jan. 81.
have just been conversng with a gentleman
fresh from the Virginia Gold Mines, near Freder-
icksburgh in that State. He assures me that the
present yield Of the Whitehall Mine Stockton,
Heiss Co.'S is decidedly ahead Of California
certainly over $500 per day To a working force Of
sixty hands. That mine has recently been sup.
piled with first-cass machinery and is going ahead
under full sail.
My informant thinks that other mines situated IN
the same vicinity, in fact on the same range or
veins, lrW do as well as the Whitehall when ms
well worked but did not gather from him that
any are doing much just at present. Several con-
template vigorous operations as the Spring
opens. By all accounts, the Whitehall ore is the
richest in the known world, and thsre seems no
reason to doubt its holding out
II solid men o. business who know something
of Mining and nothing of Stock-Jobbine, should
take hold of these Virginia Mines generally, with
a view to raising Gold and not to selling shares,
l believe they could hardly fail to prove perma-
nently productive. II they mainly get into the
hands of the kite flying SORT, it will soon come to
nothing, be the gold ever so abundant and &c
cessibe.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan 81.
The House unluckiy adjourned day when the
Committee was Just about to act deoisively on the
question of excluding Alcoholic Liquors from the
L. 5. Navy. / hope it will prevail anyhow, but
would rather have taken the decisive vote to-day.
The postponement gives time for more strategy.
Mr. j. A. ROCKWELL OF Conn. moved the dis
continuance of the Spirit Ration as usual, and
supported the motion by few cogent remarks.
mainly al array of facts showing how general
and how advantageous is the discOntinuance OF
Spirit Il atoms, or spnts at ALL in the Commercial
Marine of our Country. He made the best use OF
his FIVE minutes.
When he sat down the fire OF amendments, sub
stituies, sc. intended 10 defeat the reform by IN
direction commenced Propositions to give the
sailors five cents, one cent, half cent, &c. per
day IN lieu of the Spirit Ration were made The
Committee voted communication oiiour cents said
10 be twice the cost of the Spirit Ration, and the
amount now allowed Ia such sailors as choose TO
accept IT,
Mr. MURPHY of n. Y. brooklyn moved an
amendment utterly excluding Intoxicating Liquors
Of all sorts from the Navy except as medicine,
and made speech in favor OF carrying out the Re
form among Officers as well as Seamen. have
no doubt his sole purpose in moving this is 10 over
load and 80 defeat the whole. Reform. We shall
zee how he votes on the Main question
Mr. GREELEY objected that Me-. Murphys pro-
position was not properly an amendment to
Mr.. Rockweirs, but contemplated different
end One was to abolish Ration and pay
communication in money therefor the other pro-
posed to establish police regulation with re-
gard to the habits OF Officers of the Navy, and 10
their private stores when on shipboard. He MR.
GD would vote very heartily for Mr. Murphy $
proposition in its order, but wished the question
first taken on Mr.. Rockwelrs then on Mr. Muir
phvs as an additional and independent provision
The Chair (Mr. j. r. lngersolD ruled the amend
msnt in order, and it was fastened upon Mr.. Rock
wells by a large vote. most of the ultra Tenn
perance men uniting with the other side IN iavor'
though many of them with some trepidahon Tor
the result And now,
MIR MORSE OF La. moved to doubts the SpH"
Ration; and. that not being in order In an Appro-
pristion bill, moved to reduce the Communication 70
half cent day and thereuPon made smart
speech against the Reform altogether, and IN favor
Of adling out the grog old fashion.
Here the matter rests for the day.

WARRINGTON. Wednesday Jan 81

WARRINGTON. Wednesday Jan 81
Il have lost day - said the Roman Emperor
sadly, rejecting that in the day just passed Or
closing no good deed had by him been done How
frequently penitential wailings would arise from
Congress if the loss Of day soced 10 evoke them
But 1t don't.
An eimless and iruitiess discuss sion on Slavery
and the relations and mutual behavior Of the North
and South consumed the better portion Of this day
sitting, and it was hslfpast two when that endless
theme was oyerlaid by motion to go into Com
mittee and proceed with the Naval Appropriation
bill The motion prevailed by large vote, and
the House proceeded to the consideration Of the
bill by sections and items. Three amendments
were proposed and one Of them passed before the
proper place was reached for Mr.. ROCKWELL grog.
stopping proviso on which, and the cross-ires
which it provoked, the Committee spent good
minutes past o'clock voice arose from the
Loco-Foco side, the second effort, believe
Mr. Chairman; ] move that the Committee
rise '
Mr. VISToS-"I hope not Mr.. Chairman. Let
finish this BILL if not finished let us sit till
o'clock
A rira roce vote was taken. Pretty loud both
ways. The Chairman thought the Ayes had it.
Division was called The Ayes stood up
nearly all Loco. Fl ocoism, and alas some twelve
10 twenty Wings.
'Teers' were demanded and carried and the
Members passed between Tellers but the Wing
array was broken-the wand of the Chairman of
the Ways and Means was temporarily powerless
some Wings sat in their seats others swelled
the hostile array in voting Aye and the Commit
tee decided to rises TO 60.
SO the Committee was broken up and the House
adjourned, leaving the days work as good as un
done. A resolute and manifest purpose on the
part Of the majority to sit the bin out would have
very likely carried it through by O'Clock now
1t will consume another day-perhaps more if
the Wing side of the House shall not sterny, uni
tedly resist an early adjournment. More can be
effected any day between and o'clock with
the Wing seats full and every one promptly voting
down a motion to break up the Committee, than
IN the whole sitting up to o'clock.
Such fruitless sitting and heedless adjournment
may seem of little moment, but they really amount
to public misfortune We are deep into the
third quarter Of the Session, and as yet have
not nearly concluded the inevitable business,
leaving Postage Reform, New Territories, Land
Reform and nearly everything Of a like nature
untouched. This week is nearly gone except the
Private Bill days. and there are but four more
weeks to come after it Alas that we should
have lost n day

To-day was as good as thrown away 50 far as
results are concerned-lost in useless debate
thrown away Tor want Of hrmness in the maj ority
10 81. hungry half an hour.
The call OF Committees being commenced, and
the District Committee being soon reached,
Mr EDWARDS Of Ohio from said Committee re-.
ported bin 70 prohibit the bringing Of Slaves
into this District for sale or hire as Merchandise.
The bill having been read, and it, reference
moved
Mr.. CHAPNAN of Nd. Chairman of the Com.
mitteel gave notice that he should move a sub.
stituie He considered this bill entirely too strin-
gent, and raised the question that it transcribed
the constitutional power Of Congress
The House defeated motion TO law the bin on
the table.
hereupon running debate sprung up, Of con
siderable interest. The Southern Members zen.
orally spoke quite reasonably aud temperstey-
gathered from their remarks that, since this
measure bad been asked for by the District au-
thonties, they would vote for bill giving the Cor.
porations Of Washington and GEORGETOWN fall
power over the subject, and they would 20 no far
Their.
did not 80 well like the tone Of the Northern
Speeches, excepting a very good one from Mr.
HUDSON Of Mass. There was too much footlck-
ing about them. 1t seems that as the remem-
brance Of the views Of their constituents grows
fainter and the Inauguration comes nearer, the
spirit Of the North in this House on questions az
iec,ng Slavery grows palpably tanner and more
flexible.
Finally the whole subject was laid over and the
House went into Committee.
