The highly interesting and satisfactory mes
sage from the PRESIDENT, sent to Congress yes
terday, with the accompanying documents,
occupies SO much of our columns, as to exclude
editorial matter prepared for this days paper.
In order to bring under the eyes Of our readers
at one view all The documents relating TO the
subject, we have published the letter of Gov
ernor BELL TO the Senators and Represents
tives of Texas. The ground taken in the
message is such as we believe the sober sense
of the unprecedented in all sections of the coun-
try will recognise as the only one consistent
with the imperative obligation of the Execu-
tive TO maintain the supremacy Of the laws,
while, its tone is so calm, temperate, and con
cillatory as TO give the least possible occasion
for irritation III those quarters where it is per
haps unavoidable

adjoining tower. lie fell upon his back, which
was somewhat hurt; but the mast to which he chung
fell upon him and broke one of his legs below the
knee in a most shocking manner. Dr. Morgan
came promptly TO his relief, and had him removed
from his fearful position, and conveyed to his home
near the Navy Yard, where other physicians

Fccry, and suppose that early next week we
shall have many boats from the different dcpots
along this line. Flour will probably come down
in great abundance; after which the new white
may be looked for. In October, we believe, the
conncxion will be made with Cumberland, and
then the coal business will commence--an auspi-
cious event in the history Of this canal.

Congress. Yesterday.

The House decided to close the debate on
the Census bill 10 day. The range Of the
debate proved that it is high time. The
natural affection of certain class Of poll
ticians for darkness was still further mani
tested
Mr.. VINToN suggested two amendments
to the bill, the adoption Of which would be
worth 10 the country at least One Million
Dollars, but we presume they Will both be
defeated. One of them determines before
hand that the House shall for the next ten
years consist Of Two Hundred Members,
with such additions as may be required by
the admission Of New States into the Union :;
so that each State may proceed, upon the
publication Of the Census, TO determine its
proper quota Of Members and provide Tor
their election, without waiting for the pas
sage Of an Apportionment bill by Congress.
The adoption of this amendment would
preclude all wigglng and scheming in Con
grcss in fixing the ratio Of Apportionment
to secure party, sectional or local adyah-
tages Mr.. Vinton's ether amendment
would authorize the President in 1860, 1870,
and every ten years thereafter, to proceed to
take the Census without awaiting the pas
sage of Special Act by Congress This,
too, ought to be adopted, but we have no
hone that it will be- What can men who
think only Of to-day care about legislation
to obviate delay, expense and possible mis-
chief ten and twenty years hence? Still,
we most heartily thank Mr.. Ninton for his
excellent and timely suggestions.
Nothing of special Importance was done
in the SENATE. The bill to facilitate the
coinage of bullion was amended and passed
and long debate took place on the subject
of granting Public Lands for the construc-
ton of Railroads.
