guage in the City Of pas.ington, in support Of the
Pr,nlciPies ny which the Administration of Gene
RAJ Taylor came into power, and being dcsirous to
obtain the aidand cooperation Of the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons Which, in
his estimation, make it desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the sea
OF Government

guagc as their medium of intercourse is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number is constan tly in
creaslng by immigration.

OF the liberal or popular party Of Germany, to
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged, they do, OF COURSE range themselves with
the party bearing that nppclaton in this country.

Quick Observation-Disclosures FooD.-Of
all the articles of food, boiled rice is digested
in the shortest time-an hour. As it also
contains eight tenths nutricious matter, it is a
valuable substance for diet. Tripe and pigs
feet are digested almost as rapidly. Apples,
if sweet and ripe, are next in order. Venison
IS digested almost as soon as apples. Roast
ed potatoes are digested in half the time re-
CURED by the same vegetable boiled, which
occupy three hours and half; more than
beef or mutton. Bread occupies three hours

eggs are digested in three hours and half
an hour more than is required by the same ar

The trial of the Montesqueons at St
Louis, which resulted in a disagreement
Of the jury, appears to have excited in
tense interest in that community. A per
son who has recently returned from that
city-and who had attended the trial
informs US that the Court House was
thronged during its entire progress, the
most favorable seats being entirely mo.
by the ladies A great deal
of sympathy was exhibited for the prison
ars, and after the close of each session of
the court, during the trial, a general rush
took place among the ladies for the priv
lege Of shaking hands with them.-1lIll

AFFAIRS IN New MExIco.-The only pa
per printed in New Mexico of which we have
dates to the early part of February is filled
with articles in favor Of the establishment of
a State Government in New Mexico. The ar
guments are ola local character, and intended
to meet the reasons assigned by the opposite
party in favor Of Territorial Government !;
but there are, also, some curious developments.
Among other things it is stated that Mr.. Footo
Of the Senate, has written letter to Mr.. Skin
to ask for Territorial Government, being 81
lent concerning Slavery; that Territorial
Government can be more easily obtained than
a State Government, but ifthey desirea State
Government. to be silent concerning Slavery.

\ CAFD.-A letter of Miss Harriet
Webster has been published and has gone
and is going the rounds of the newspapers,
contrary to her expectations or consent.
The letter to which it was an answer was
from a town in New Hampshire, and from
person wholly unknown to her, or her
family. The letter contained strong ex-
pressions of sympathetic kindness for
Webster and his family, sc and requested
an answer. Gratitude as well as polite
ness dictated an answer, of which she and
her family regret the publicity. Those
papers who have published it, are reques-
led to insert this card.

Discovery Of Human Zones near ie American
House Han0Yer-St.


More NySteyY-The Bottom HerGla
states that this forenoon abott o'clock,
as some workmen were excavding a cellar
and clearing priyy near tfe American
House, they discovered two luman skulls
and 10 fragments of human )ones also a
lot Of hair which undoubtedl belonged to
them, the hair coarse long, md black
One of the skulls is evidently a woman's
the other doubtless a male negro. Tn S
opinion is formed from the sze and form
Of the fragments. One of tie skulls was
somewhat fractured, and it is probable
they met their death by violnce.
1t was the opinion of severi physicians
that they had lain there moe than TWEEN
ty years, the vault has not )een cleared
out before for several years and not en-
tlrely for the space Of twent7 years
The portion of earth where they were
found embedded was entirely hard. On
the same spot, 20 years ago a large boar
ding house stood, which waskept by per
son named Brigham.
That this discovery viii bring to light
deeds Of darkness perpetrat,d many years
ago, IS not impossible, and strict inves-
tigation should at once be instituted by
the authorities. Verify we exist in an
age Of wonders and mystery AS fast as
one deed of blood is developed, another
follows fast upon its heels, and train OF
horrors unexampled in the history Of
crime is daily divulged in our midst
How true it is that murder will out.

THE TR IBII \ L i.
Mineral Point, May 10, 1850.
SENATOR F00TE.

This gentleman appears to be IN fair way
10 make himself somewhat distinguished, du
ring the present Session of Congress. lie
has already been engaged in no less than five
personal quarrels, since the commencement Of
the Session.
1t. With ltr Houston, in the Senate.
%. With Mr. Borlaud, in tie street.
Sd. With MrCalhoun, in the Senate
4th. With Mr. Seward in the Sena te, and
5,h. With Mr.. Benton, in the Senate.
In all of which he has manifested quar-
relsome spirit, and proved a disgrace TO the
United States. Mr.. Foo,e appears to be
man capable Of using sarcastic language, and
his personal illusions, and frequent invective
vituperations have brought on the. disgraceful
scenes lately enacted in the Senate; in the
last Of which, he appeared, assassin like, with
loaded pistol, prepared for action.
After perusing all the accounts relating to
the last quarrel he had, with b nton, we have
come to the conclusion that he had no cause
for experimenting an attack from Col. B.. and
that it was his own insulting language and
abusive sneers that provoked the alteration.
The Washington correspondent Of the \.
Y. Commercial, who was first decidedly a
gainst Col. BENTON, writes as to what is be-
coming the settled opinion at Washington:
Since writing you on the day Of
the late dsgracefui tumult in the Senate,
have seen cause TO change my opinion some
what of the conduct Of MesSTs. BENTON and
FouTE respectively. / am now satisfied that
the latter had no reason v hatevert to apPrehend
that Mr.. Benton intended to assaiI him, I'M
less provoked by reiteration Of the gratait-
Gus and iniolerabe insults which he had borne
SO long in silence and patience. The fact
that Foote did 90 into the Senate armed, that
he recommended a course Of personal remark
toward Mr.. BENToS with an irritating and Of
fensive allusion, that he fed from his own
place the moment he saw Mr.. BENTON leave
his seat, and after drawing a pistol, placed
himsefin position to fire. all serve to con-
firm the belief that he desired and intended to
provoke quarrel, and that 1t was his purpose
10 take his adversary at disadvantage, and
to murder or to MAIN him on the floor OF the
Senate

Pay THE PRINTER.-The New York Trib-
une has the following sensible and appropri-
ate remarks relative to an intolerable imposi-
jon continually being practised upon editors
''There is an imposition to which editors
and publishers are subjected in our day which
we must advert to on this occasion, not inten-
ding to discuss matters of personal interest
very often. 1t is that Of absorbing their time
and 'heir columns for personal or other than
public ends without compensation. A man
goe5 to his lawyer for counsel, to his dentist
for lis teeth, his doctor for medicine, his ba-
ker Tor bread, &c, &c, AMI lie expects 10
pay as matter of course. Bat if he wants
an announcement made in newspaper, that
may be worth five, ten, or fifteen dollars to
him: he often calculates to square the account
With dry thank ye, or quite dispensable
compliment.

MAIL LETTISGs.-A letter from Washing

says;
" They commenced opening the bids foI
the mail lettings this morning, commencing
with the State ofMichigan. was told at the
Post Office Department that in the agqreGate
1t was the largest mail letting that has ever
taken place at one time in the United States
The competition has not been anything like
as spirited as the mail lettings in 1886 and
lo42, which has created apprehensions at the
Department that the service for the next fou,
years may be at higher rates than has been
paid during the eight years past. The prob.
ability is that as the bids Of a State are deter.
mined upon, they will be declared, without
delaying until the whole of the States have
been acted upon.
