NO. Y,

MT. Brown, of Miss, thought there ouoh not 10 be solitary family without homs and that the prosperity of individuals wonS be promoted by this. Without concludino he gave way for several communications be laid before the House.
 The House then went into Committee the Whole on the Military Academy bill | Amendments to increase the salaries we, discussed, and without coming to any con- clusion the committee rose and the Hons adjourned.
 WASHINGTON, July 26. SENATE.-Mr. Clay presented the petition of sailors who served in the Gulf andh the Pacific during the war with Mexico asking three months extra pay and bounh land. Referred to the committee of Nav
 MT. Dayton desired, in this connection to call the attention of the Senate to tba propriety of some indication by Congrea of it's appreciation of the gallant serYic, rendered by naval officers on land durn l the Mexican war. Commodore Stockton it would be remembered, rendered tbos land services, and, in connection with Gen kearny, fought one important, battle.- There were many others of these naval officers who had rendered most important services under similar circumstances, and although military officers had been breveted and received swords and medals, the officers of the navy had received no notice of their services. He hoped the Committee would consider the propriety of some measure giving these gallant men some token of the appreciation of Congress.
 On motion of MT. Mangum, MT. King was excused from further service on the Committee of Foreign Relations.
 HoUsE.-Mr. Harris, of Illinois, offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish the House with all amounts expended by Gov ernment for public buildings, statuary, bridges, streets and canals, and misceIlane ous objects in this District, since the present session of Congress. His design was to encourage industry and add to the aggre. gate wealth of the country.
 After some debate the bill was referred to the Committee of the Whole.
 The bill reported yesterday to give every man or woman, head of a family, one quarter section of land, free of cost was taken up.
 MT. Brown, of Miss, explained an amend. ment which he intended to offer. Mr. Morse moved to reconsider the vote, and spoke at length against the bill, denouncing it as monstrous system of corruption, &s The Hon. Thomas Ewing has received telegraphic information of his appointment to the Senate, by the Governor of Ohio, to i fill the vacancy occasioned by the resigna- ton of MT. Corwin. He expected to re- ceive his commission tonight. This will be vote gained for the Compromise bI

Cotton Its Influence upon the World.

Every fresh arrival from Europe is watch ed with anxiety. Spectators are more mquisitve about the state of the cotton market in the old world than upon any other subject. allows cotton!" is the first question, and until it is answered nothing -elsemust be talked about. Politics, finance, revolutions, diplomacy, cabinet intrigues, are nothing 10 cotton. This remarkable vegetable production rules the world, and as our country grows an immense surplus above its own consumption; we may be said to rule the world. This seems to be fully acknowledged in Europe, and the depen- dence on this country, in this important particular, has led the English to pay close attention 10 the cultivation of cotton in India and other ports of the world. A few years ago seven or eight American planters were selected by the East India Company to make experiments in India; but these ali failed in the object for which they had been engaged, and, after spending five hundred thousand dollars, the enterprise was almost abandoned. The dry and wet seasons are believed to be great objections to the cultiy vaton ofsss al least in many districts. As many as two bales of cotton, say pine hundred pounds, can be obtained some times from a single acre of land in this country-whilea single acre in India ottener yields one hundred pounds than larger quantity. The necessity, however, of hay ing competing growth with that of the United States, recently has brought about more favorable results in India, and the English are very proud in boosting that, at no very distant day, they will do without American cotton by increasing vastly the production in Egypt and the East Indies:
 Without doubt, some very considerable changes will take place in the growth and consumption of cotton, during the next five or ten years. It being the sovereign staple of the world, great nations will apply its power largely for political purposes. We have seen it's effect upon nations since lSlS--how it has regulated the money market between Great Britain and the U
 States-how it has established and perpetu- ated long and blessed peace, and how powerful it now is, in keeping the world free from the alarms of war. Between Great Britain and India it has been seen to be ligament that binds these islands of the sea to a mighty and barbaric empire, as nothing else could hold them. Our country, however, is the great consumer of cotton, and should slave labor be abolished, our crops be diminished. and we possess no surplus for England, it is only reasonable to suppose that there would soon be found a pretext for war with us, on the part ot Great Britain. Till we have no cotton to purchase peace, we are safe-HeraM.

For the Shield.

A very silly old man If he be old) a short time since wrote an article in the True Is- sue, which was so sIanderous and vitupera- tive upon the character of both living and dead, that felt called upon 10 administer him castigation, certainly not more severe than deserved In the last number of the Issue he writes another very silly article, in which he does not attempt to defend the slanderous libels, in the former number; nor seeks to justify the language he then used. The on ly plea he puts in is denial that he claimed to be "Christian." It seems then that he knew himself better than the editor of the Issue did. But the editor introduced him as Christian, and as he came anon- ymously among us, he could only be known by the introduction. The article of ''Phil- lips" was based entirely upon the impress sion that he was sailing under "false colors." As he is no "christan," do rot know that we could repeat anything better oi him than he gave us in the article of the 24th ult. As imputed him then a position which he denies, desire to take it back. Know then all men, "Old TiHa-'r'lis no "Ghristianr'- and having thus done "Old Times" justice, leave him in the hands of community which respects alike living merit and de- parted worth. PHILLIPS.

The Election.

Our biennial election will take place on Monday next. As the welfare of the coun- try is deeply involved in the issue, we trust | that nc citizen will absent himself from the polls on that day. We believe that the county has been thoroughly canvassed by
 tie respective aspirants for office, and that
 al ample opportunity has been furnished
 every voter to form an opinion as to the qualifications and fitness of those who are skiing their confidence. The candidates laying done their duty as far as in them Hay, they now awaitthe decision of the peo- pie at the ballot box. The right of the peo- pie to choose their own officers lies at the foundation of our institutions, and upon the proper exercise of that right depends the happiness of the people and the prosperity of the State. How important, therefore, that the people in casting their votes for candidates, should do so calmly, dispassion- ately and with view to promote the best interests of their common country.
 A very slight circumstance Sometimes changes the entire character of man. So lit is with States, with counties, and even smaller communities. One bad step in Le- ,ggislation frequently plunges the State into difficulties from which years cannot extrl-
 cate her. Arkansas is signal illustration
 of this. If we had not established Banks Iwhen we did, our State would now in all
 probability be in a condition such as would
 rank her among the first of this glorious con-
 federacy. But false step has burthened
 her with debt which she cannot discharge for quarter of a century. Her destiny must remain darkened for many years to come, notwithstanding she has all the ele- ments of greatness scattered in will profu- sion around her. If this be true as it regards
 the State, may it not be equally true as ii
 regards the internal regulations of county
 or even a corporation? We think so, and
 so did the framers of the constitution think
 when they, in their wisdom, placed the
 whole power of the State in the hands ol
 the sovereign people. If the people, then |tion of those who are to do their business
 the fault is with them, and the consequences may be irreparabe. We repeat then that itis the bounden duty of every good citizen
 whether Whig or Democrat, to attend the polls on Monday next, and contribute his strength in the general effort to select men who will faithfully and with ability perform the high trusts about to be confded to them.

The Tehuantepec Treaty.

The National Intelligencer, speaking o ttf ttf rtaastttvD Dyitbn Mad across the Isthmus to Tehuantepec agreeable to the principles laid down on that subject by President Taylor in his annual message, says:
 "The success of this negotiation cannot fail 10 be gratifying 10 commercial men and indeed to all who look to the retention of our possessions on the Pacific As an ancillary measure to the great canal by the way of Nicaragua, it must go further toward binding together the Atlantic and Pacific States than any thing which can be devised, except indeed that magnificent enterprise itself, which is now taken under the protec- tion of all the maritime States of the world. President Polk instructed Mir. Trist, when he sent him to negotiate the treaty of Qua dalupe, to offer five millions of dollars for the right of transit across at Tehuantepec. Every benefit con tempated by that arrange ment, if our intelligence be true, has been secured by the administration of President Taylor, without costing the nation dollar; and we gain the additional advantage of binding Mexico herself to protect the work which is necessary to unite us with our Pa- cific Territories. The benefits resulting to the United States from the canal and railroad will be incalculable; and through ages to come the name of President Taylor, who took the first steps toward uniting all the nations of the world in an object so benef- cial to all, will be remembered with grati- tude. He has now passed to his account, and no flattery can 'soothe the dull cold ear of death,' but we, who supported him in life, gladly pay this feeble tribute to his hoE- ored memory"

The Attorney General.

One word more and we are done with
 this officer, and the mendacity of the True Issue.
 Our former numbers have shown that fol |all the people of the State to elect their At
 lorney General, it will be necessary to |amend the constitution, and in that amend |ment to create this officer, as well as to pro- vide for his election, inasmuch as we have
 now only a Prosecuting Attorney who per foms the duties of Attorney General. We |asted our neighbor if he was in favor of changing the constitution! He has not Idegned to answer our question. We will then inform him that the late Legislature Iproposed as an amendment to the Constitu- tion repeal of that clause which now pro-
 vides for amending that instrument, and providing for calling Convention for that purpose hereafter. To this amendment the democratic candidates for the Legislature have pledged themselves. How does MT. Issue get round this? Or will he contend that the change he desires can be effected without changing the constitution? This would be about on par with his other po-
 silions in the matter.

THE LATE PREsIDENT-The acts and speeches which marked the closing scenes of Gen. Taylor's life will doubtless be gath cred up and treasured in the memory of his countrymen. The following anecdote is related in the New York Mirror
 ''lt is but few days since, when a dele gaton waited upon him to remonstrate against his liberal position on the slavery question, and to talk of disunion as the in- evitable consequence of the admission of California as free State, that he nttered these memorable words: Gentlemen said the President, if ever the flag of disunon is raised within the borders of these Tinted States while l occupy the Chair, I will plant the stars and stripes alongside of it, and with my own hand strike it down, if not a soul comes to my aid south of Mason & Dixons line'"
