TUNNELLIHG THE BLUE RIDGE.

1t will be seen, under our Legislative head,
that the Senate has passed the Bill authorizing
the Tunnelliug Of the Blue Ridge, OH State ac-
count. This will be a magnificent work, and
looks like breaking down that "wall Of partition"
which has so long separated Eastern from West
ern Virginia. These two-sectiolis will now be
brought into closer proximity to each other, and
an arolancbs Of Trade will, when the Tunnel is
made and the Rail Road completed, tindit5 way
to the Richmond market We are proud of the
Capitol of our State, and would be glad to see it
prosper in all its illtercsts-and nothing, in our
opinion, will more accelerate the growth and III
crease the business OF Richmond, than opening
a road to that market for their Western brethren.
We do not know W hen the work will be COM
menced, but presume, the enterprizirg Louisa
Rail Road Company will permit 10 time to be
lost We want to see daylight shine through

THE TWIN CALVES,

Grazed and fatted by Col James Casilenan,

ton Of the immense crowd that was assembled
to witness the imposing spectacle. They We're
the finest specimens Of our mountain stock, and
it was conceded on all hands, that they could
not be surpassed by the product of any country.
They weighed respectively, 22l5 and 209o lbs.
gross, and were purchased by Mr.. Henry Wea-
yer OF this city. Col. C. sold them on his farm
in Clarke for the sum Of ninety-seven and afhalt
dollars each. He also exhibited five of the finest
1nuttons that have ever been offered for sale i'll
This market. They were reared and tattened BY
Province McCormic@, Esq, of Clarke county,
who has been more successful perhaps, than any
other gentleman in that region OF country, i'll

mixed breed of South-down, Blackwell and Cot

THE CLOSE OF TIE SESSION.
Rows IN THE SENATE; AND THE HoUsE--IMPoR
TANT MEASURES ACTED ON.

The report ofthe proceedings Of the close OF
the second session Of the thirteenth Congress,
is replete with interest though it will be seen thai
three OF those notifying scenes OF violence have
again desecrated the loor of Congress and that
blood has been split in the halls Of legislation.
A difficulty, it seems, first occurred between
Mr.. Giddings Of Ohio, ard Mr.. Meade, of Va,
which, although causing some disturbance, did
not proceed to personal violence. This Original
ted, we believe, in reference to the territorial
question and the Wilmot proyiso. The second
row occurred alta very late hour, between Robert
w, Johnson, Of Arkansas, Orlando B. Ficklin,
Of Ohio, and William M. lnge, of Alabama. Mr.,
slcklln called MIR, Johnson puppy" when he
seems to have been jointly attacked BY Mr. John
son aud Mr.. Inge, the latter striking him with a
cane, which Grew blood from the head with
which it came in contact. The House, shortly
after, adjourned, as order could 10 longer be
preserved.
The Senate was also disgraced by q scene
of somewhat the same character between Mr.
Cameron, of Pennsy lyani;,, and Mr.. Foote, oi
Mississirpi-'he latter receiving a blow in his
face from the formor, as a retort to some often
slve personal remarks.
The business transacted during the day and
night, it will be seen, was quite important. The
bill ating Home Department of the Govern
lilelll, Was PASSED. ny llle SENATE ana received
the Presidents signature, as did also the Gold
Dollar bill, which also provides for the coinage
Of $40 gold pieces,
ThesCalitornia question continued to be fix
exciting topic of debate up almost to the hour Of
adjournment in both Houses, but all the meas
ures proposed for providing q government ion
California, civil or military, Were finally dropped
and the bills to which they had been attached
passed. California and New Mexico must
therefore, remain without any other government

Correspondence Of The Rithn ond Enquirer.
WASHINGTON. March s. 1St9.

The Inauguration is over. The Senate met
at II O'Clock, when Mr.. Fillmore delivered an
address, in presence Of the Ministers OF foreign
governments, &c. He spoke at length Of the
recent scenes Of bloodshed and violence in for
ei9n nations. Ihecrowd to hear the President IS
Inaugural was immense. The applause occa-
sionally, more because they expect something
good, than because they hear anything good
The inaugural was read in a very low tone
not heard beyond a few feet. I find it made up
chiefly Of vague genelalities and other abstrac-
tons. IN fact a new edition OF the Allison Let
ter. On the great questions Of the day, Slavery
question, &C., it preserves an oulinous silence.
Not one word is said i'll the inaugural for the
South or It's institutions-not one word against
the fell spirit Of aggression in the North which
endangets the Union The President spoke,
however, of his Intention to be governed by pre-
cedent, by the action OF the earlier Presidents
and decision OF the Supreme judiciary. The
only positive committals made are to recon-
mend appropriations for rivers and harbols, and
leave legislation chiefly to the enlightened pa
trio.issn Of Congress, Enough to say that the
Inaugural is on u Par with the Cabinet, and there
is but one opinion about that it is the very slim
NEST that this country has ever known. Iiud-
son, the ultra abolitionis has been appointed to
the Home Department.
