Tuesd'y in the House--Ocean Mails, & {


WAsuINGToN, Jan. so.
MIR. Butler Kings Report in favor OF the
lsthnus Railroad was to-day ordered to be
printed by a very close vote, indicating that
the bill has dull look for passing.
Mr.. GrnnelI tried to get up bill from
the Commerce Committee, requiring that all
vessels carrying passengers to California
shall be properly ventilated, and with regard
to the number of passengers, SC. shall be
subject to the provisions of the European
-passeuger act. Mr.. Burt, of S. c., object
ed-so the bill could NOT nc got VI. Il viii
doubtless be got up aud passed soon.
The House then went INFO committee on
the Naval Appropriation bill, and Mr.. Chas.
Brown, of Pa, made the most ultra-slayery
speech of the session, beating Hon. X. w.
Thompson all to nothing. He claimed that
his party (the Locofoco) was the genuine
pro-savery, conservative (of wrongs) par
ty, and thought he made out very good
case. He certainly proved that Mr.. Thomp-
sons speech did not reflect the views of the
Wings of Indiana.
Mr. Strong, of Pa. from Gold Berks) next
got the floor aud made the first hour speech
we have had on any appropriation bill
which had any sort of relation to the bill.
His theme was Ocean Lines of Mail steam
ers, and he showed conclusively Ito my
mnd) that there had been great prodigallty
and folly, to say the least, in our Ocean
Mail contracts, and that we must stop ma
king them unless we could make them bet
ter. The speech embodied some narrow
views, but as a whole was sound and for
chile.
The day was wearing away and nothing
accomplished. Mr.. Ninton therefore had
the Committee rise, to give him chance to
introduce a resolution stopping the debate
in ten minutes AFTER going again into Com
mittee, which was carried against the usual
struggle for adjournment, yeas and nays,
tellers, &c, and the House thereupon adj
iourned.

TIE PANAMA RAILROAD.
WAsuINGToN. Ian. so.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. so.
Quite an animated discussion took place
in the Senate to-day on the subject of the
TWO proposed railroads across the continent
to connect the Atlantic and Pacific.
Mr.. Benton urged immediate action for a
temporary road Mr.. Foote locked upon
the project as neof the highest Importance
ever brought before the Senate, but he was
in the dark, and wished time for reflection
and consultation. He knew very distin-
guished man now in this city, from the very
seat of intelligence. He wished all the in
formation which that gentleman could give
to be laid before the Senate, before any ac-
ton on its part should be taken.
Mr.. Benton rose in great Indignation that
the knowledge of any individual should be
required to determine action. Had HE not
read everything that had ever been written
OH the subject' Why, he knew even the
events connected with the interview of the
immortal Cortez and Monrezuma. The for
ner had asked if the Imperial Inca had
land route from one sea to the other, through
his domains The answer satisfied hrs,
and he carried his ships in pieces over the
Isthmus. He had read his private letter to
Charles V. He needed no more Information
on the subject This was a great legal, not
geographical or Typographical matter. This
thing must be immediate. 4 way must be
provided, but it must be but for a few years.
There was great work to be done-an
American road to India. 1t must pass en-
tirely through American soil, and nothing
that was not American should in the least
degree govern il. Until that was done, he
would 20 for the first temporary road he
could get. He would not stand upon dis
tinclions. do not pretend to use the exact
language of Mr.. Benton. The substance is
here-lbe whole he said would occupy
column from the continued repettions of
the same matter in very excited manner.
Mr.. Downs opposed. We ought to wait
for information and all that could be obtain
ed. We We're entirely too fast in our ac-
tons. We voted millions after millions in
perfect waste. He did not know what 9th
er gentlemen had read, but be wished time
10 know something more than las known to
the Senate. Ii had been said that Mexico
had once refused to allow railroad through
her domains-that was no ground of action
now. Times had changed. Beside, there
was the very latest news brought by the
steamer Crescent City, from that pestllentlai
hole, Chagres. He wished to examine into
the difference Of advantage between the two
places of depot proposed. He touched up
on the neighborhood of the British West
Indies and the probabilities of that great ma
ton getting an advantage over us. lie must
have time.

Extremes Meet.

We learn from the PHILADELPHIA North

On the 26th ult. the Massachusetts Anti
Slavery Society, the real ultra Northern
fire-and-faggot, th-and-dissolution phi
lanthropists, who go for any measures, no
matter how wild and destructive, that will
put an end to slayery-terminated Con-
yention which they had held in Bosten at
Faneull Hall. Among their resolutions was
one declaring that the one great object"
which ought to he " attempted and achiev-
ed" by all wise and patriotic people like
themselves, is "the immediate dissolution
of tie .4Derican Union, "-aud, no doubt,
for the obvious reason that nothing but the
American Union-the united strength aud
majesty of the whole American people-sus-
tans the observation-disclosures fiercely denounce.
But this is not all there was another reso-
luton still more exquisite than the other,
in which these worthless extend the hand of
brotherhood to Mr.. Calhoun, accepting him
as an important and devoted auxiliary in the
good cause of disunion, and commencing
the " earnestness, intrepidity, consistency
and seIf-sacrifce,' with which he addresses
himself to the glorious purpose of demolish-
ing the nation.
And thus it results. Extremes do meet
and so do persons who turn their backs upon
each other, and take different directions of
travel round the world, provided they travel
far enough they come together at last, face
to face, in the other hemisphere. 1t - in
this way that Mr.. Calhoun and his old enc
mics and special aversion, the Massachusetts
aboltionists, who parted from each other
upon opposite paths, now suddenly come
together, greatly to the delight of the Nor
thern belligerents, if not of the Southern

The Constitution of the United States for
bids the passage of any law by Congress
prohibiting the migration or importation of
slaves in the United States, to take effect

The CaIifornians in New York.

A resident of New York coming back af
ter three months absence, without having
heard of the California fever, would be al
most doubtful of the identity of the place.
He would find it impossible to account for
the remarkable activity in certain branches
of trade which are not usually subject to
sudden change. He would wonder ut the
word "Caliiornla,o seen everywhere ~ glar-
ing letters, and at the columns of vessels adj
vertised in the papers as about to sail tor
San Francisco. And finally, he would be
puzzled at seeing a new class of men IN the
streets, in a peculiar costume-broad felt
hats of reddish brown hue, loose, rough
coats reaching to the knee, and high boots.
Even those who have watched the gradual
process of the excitement are astonshed at
1 its extent and intensity. The ordinary course
of business seems for the time to be changed.
I The bakers Of sea-bread keep their ovens
hot day and night, turning out immense
quantities of the article, without supplying
the demand the provision stores OF allkInds
are beseiged by crowds of purchasers man
ufacturers OF India rubber goods, Gutta
pcrcha, oil cloth, ETC., have very large de-
mands TO supply ; the makers of rifles, pis-
tolls, bowie knives can scarcely furnish as
many of these articles as are called for ; and
even the vendors of quack medicines aud all
kinds of nostruns share a part of this wind
fall OF business.
All kinds of clothing establishments are
thronged, and some Of them find it difficult
to meet the extensive demands made upon
Them. Many OF tho ernigrants take at least
dozen full suits with them for their own
use, and many more are taken out for sale.
In fact, goods of every description sell Just
at present, and articles which have been long
unsaleable, are packed up and sent away by
the merchants, TO try their fortune in the
Pacific market The business part of the
city presents a spectacle of extraordinary
activity. Boxes, barrels and bales crowd
the sidewalks, and hundreds of drays con-
vey to the wharves the freight now being
stored away in seventy vessels for the Gold
Region.
The Caliiornians throng the streets in the
lower part of the city, especially along the
piers, and in Broadway, Nassau and Wall
SITS. Several of the hotels are almost filed
them, and though large numbers of them
are daily leaving, there is no apparent dim
mutton of their numbers. They are gener-
ally an intelligent, industrious and energetic
class, well calculated to give order aud pros
perity to our territories Oh the Pacific.
On an average, two or three vessels leave
this port daily for California, either by the
voyage direct, or via some Texan or Next
can port. The number embraces all kinds
of craft, from steamers and first-class pack
cts down to pilot boats. TO give an idea of
the extent of the Pacific trade in this respect,
we have prepared the following list Of yes
sells now up at this port, and up for CaIiior-
mia. In addition to these, large number
of others have been bought and fitted out by
private companies, several of which are
now on the point of sailing.-N. Y. TriJ.
