OFFICIAL JOURNAL
Of the Council Of the Second Munieig
NEW ORLEANs.
THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE 20, IssO

A LITTLE ExTRAoRDINARY.-The Washing
ton correspondent Of Philadelphia paper states
that, on the 9th instant, delegation Of Senators
waited upon the Secretary of State to ascertain
directly his views upon the subject [of compro-
mise,l and to learn whether the President would
not withdraw his plan for the present. but he
understands that the mission was without effect
We can scarcely credit this but if it be true, it
is certainly a little extraordinary. We are so
Ignorant we must confess as not to have under
stood that there is any plan of the Presidents before
Congress to be Withdrawn. We have never seen
any thing from him on this subject but his special
message embracing Recommendations of a plan Of
adjustment communicated to the House of Repre-
sentatives in the early part of the session. Was
ne asked to withdraw this message This is an
absurdity. Was he asked to nullify his recon-
mendations by the publication Of a second mes
sage Were he to do this he would place himself
in a position as ridiculous as it would indicate a
want Of irmness. These Senators know little of
the stuff old Zach is made of if they think that any
sort of delegation influence him to swerve from
position he has once taken and which he honestly
believes to be right.
We are not acquainted with the under-current of
feeling at the Federal Capitol; and are slow to
believe, what is asserted by the correspondent re-
ferred to, that between the President and Mr. Clay
there is war Of unalterable hostility and perse-
verance." Both Of them, it is true have their
regulations before the country take care OF, in
their respective characters as President and Sena-
tor, and are studious, doubt, of doing so but
both are sincerely anxious, at the same time, to
take Of the interests Of the nation and to restore
harmony to the country. Let the Compromise
bill of Mr.. Clay pass the two Houses of Congress
and the whole country will witness with what
readiness and alacrity il will receive the executive
sanction.

A FATAL DUEL-A duel was fought in Corn
wall England, when both of the combatants fell a
the first tre-a catastrophe imputed to the exraor
binary conduct of the second, (for there was Blu
one) who assisted on the occasion.
1t seems the parties, commercial ambassador o
London, and gentleman of the neghborhood
oeing flushed with the Tuscan grape, and in high
blood, quarreled; in the impotence of their valor
having no other arms at hand, they proceeded tc
the work of death with single musket
he toss OF dollar, which gave the first fire to
one, fixed the other as fatal mark
The single second charged the musket, and in
the act OF delivering it with elevated muzze pur.
posely pulled the trigger, when both combatanrs
fell-at the sound !-one over a precipice, and the
other into the mud And the informant saws he
left the former in charge of nurse-the latter of
washerwomen.

ENGLAND.-Itis stated in the NewYork Courier
that In consequence of the very rigid manner in
which the British authorities interpret and enforce
the postal arrangements between the two coun-
tries, some thousands of letters which were at Liv-
erpool intended for the Atlantic, were kept over
for the Canada, which to sail on the following
Saturday The Government forwarded no letter
upon which it not distinctly stated that it was
to go forward by the Atlantic. This policy may
put few hundred dollars into the British treasury,
but it will greatly embarrass the commercial public
of both countries

FIRE IN ST. LoUIs.-On the 10th inst. Benia-
min Philibert's planning mill and sash and blind
mandatory, situated on Washington avenue above
Fourteenth street, was destroyed by fire. The loss
OF Mr. Philibert is estimated at not less than
$1,000, upon which there is no insurance. The
fire soon communicated to the carpenter shop of
Mr. F. Hughes, adjoining the mill, which was
totally consumed, together with quantity of lum.
Der. The carpenter shop of Mr.. ]. B. Jessup was
also consumed, together with lot of finished work
and all the tools.

FRoM HAVANA letter from Havana to the

Naval Court, and proceedings are now going on.
1t is supposed that strict justice will be awarded
In the meanwhile, no little curiosity is entertained

express it here. What security shall we have for
the future, against military equipments and inva-
slons from The United States! This is particularly
inquired into and asked by every body''

A RAILROAD Project TO TAKE AWAY THE

DEMAND FOR SILvER.-The increased produc-
ton of gold, says the Boston Transcript, is having
its effect upon silver, and the latter has become so
comparatively scarce that it has gained nearly two
per cent in value upon gold. There is an active
demand for silver to ship 10 Europe on account of
Its paying SO much better than gold, at the mint
value; and nearly half million dollars went in
the packets 10 Europe, last week. About every
packet takes out a considerable quantity, and the
demand, for manufacturing, has increased. The
District Attorney of New York says that the guam
THY of counterfeit silver money in circulation is
almost incredible, and the Secretary of the Trea-
sury has given orders for earnest efforts to discover
the counterfeiters.

A CONTRAST. = On the 10th inst, when the
Compromise bill was before the Senate, Mr.. Ben
ton moved to postpone its further consideration
until the 4th of March, ls5l-taking occasion at
the same time to use remarks severely rejecting on
Mr. Clay. On the day following Mr.. Cass replied
to MIR. Benton, in which he defended Mr.. CLAY
from this unkind and gratuitous assault, and
awarded to him the highest praise for his author
ship OF the Compromise plan and for the bold and
emlnently conservative and patriotic position which
he has uniformly manifested on this great question.
Here are littleness and magnanmty of spirit placed
in strong contrast-too faithfully characteristic,
respectively, of those distinguished Senators from
Missouri and Michigan

The EXECUTIVE PLAN. = The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says, under
date of the 1lth
We are before many days, to see whether the
friends of the Executive plan have a majority in
the House. They claim steady and reliable force
OF one hundred and twenty-five in favor of Mr..
Doty's California bill, and of nothing else. Mr..
Doty's bill may go to the Senate and Mr.. Clay's
bill come to the House-and each be amended and
returned by the other. In this case, conference
will ultimately take place the disagreement, and
IT is possible that the House will finally yield to
the Senate
