CONGRESS.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. Z.
SENATE. After the consideration ofthe morning
business the Senate took up Pearces bill for the set
Element of the boundary of Texas.
Mr.. Underwood addressed the Senate in opposition
to the bill. He confessed himself in some measure
responsible for the defeat of the Omnibus bill, and
took this opportunity TO define the ground which he
occupied in his action upon that measure statngthe
reasons which would govern his future on the
measures united in that bill The agitation Of the
subject of Slavery as a model question would never
be ended until the tongues of men silenced and
their minds paraHed This bill then would not end
that agitation. The proposition was to purchase
territory of Texas if she owned the territory in
question he did not want to buy it, he preferred that
Texas should keep it, on the other baud if it did be-
long to Texas she had no right to sell nor had the
United States the right TO buy.
At this point in his remarks Mr.. Underwood yield
ed the floor to Mr. Douglas, upon whose motion the
bill was laid over, and the California bill was again
taken up.

DAMAGE TO THE WHEAT CRoP. Accounts from
the western parts of New York represent that the rainy
weather Of last week has occaoned extensive injury to
the ungathered wheat crop, principally in the most
northern counties In Michigan the crop has been
harvested iu htv uvraiti... a naeet f,ar -..,a
The surplus wheat from this State will, in the opinion
of experienced farmers and mlers double that of any
preceding year. This may extravagant; but not
few men whose judgment is deemed valuable, express
that opinon.-The quality of the berry is, in general
excellent and the yield of flour will be also large in
proportion Corn has recuperated wonderfully within
thirty days, aud now bids fair to yield handsomely.
The fears which produced by the drought of May
and the early part Of June have thus been happily dis
sipated.
In Ohio the wheat crop is the largest and best which
has been known in that region for many years. The
Cincinnati Commercial estimates the present wheat crop
at 100000 bushesIt was but 900 600 last year
"a very short crop.

PosTAGE REFORM. The FIRST step towards re-
duction in the present of postage taken in the
House on Wednesday. by the adoption of an amend
ment to the Post Office appropriation bill, making the
expenses of the Post Office Department charge upon
the Treasury instead of its revenues. The vote
very decisive, 95 to 20, and we may indulge
the hope that the ridiculous policy which has hitherto
prevailed, of making this important department of the
public service, pay for itself, will be abolished forever.
Let the House follow up the good work it has begun by
abolshng the Thanking privilege and establishing
universal rate of two cents upon all prepaid letters of
less than half an ounce.

SPENCER, July so. 1850.
Mr. EptToR-As sketches of excursions and OBJ
servatons are generally interesting to most readers,

taken to Wachusett Mountain, (written down in my
JournaD might not be undressing to some of your
readers, these hot and sutry DAYS in July.
Well, then, few weeks ago, balmy day, clear.
M"h an exhilerating atmosphere, accompanied by Mr..
IL artist, from Worcester we took short excur-
sion to Wachusett Mountain. From Spencer we pass
ca through Rutland, TO Princeton. We found very
lar view from the high hills in Rutland, of Monadnock
Mountain rising away in the purple and hay distance
presenting beautiful outlne and blending harmonious
y INTO the sky-the foreground composed Of rolling
cultivated hills crowned with farm houses We made
some hasty sketches, and passed on regretng our linn
tied time to study from the view
In Princeton we found some fine and picturesque
scenery-old houses, and good specimens of gigantic
trees, such as the oak and maple The fields and pas
lures seem to be composed OF the right material for an
artist to study from6ne colored rocks and superb cat
tie grazing upon the hsde that might inspire artists
OF less calibre of genius than Paul Potter or Albert
Cup, to transfer to canvass breathing and natural as
life. Farm houses that tell under our observation in
Princeton had the appearance of neaness and good or
DER about them and from the long barns (panted or
whtewashed) one would infer that the farmers that way
were independent and thriving.
In travelling through New England, we find in many
places IN the country but little attention paid to good
order and taste. What sad deficiency when we look
Tor ornamental cultivation. Why is it so? l have
wondered why men, born in this highly favored and
delightful land-a land that God has made so full
OF beauty and glory, could breathe and eyince no

opinion the merits of this grand and unique
