Progress at Washington.

Our readers will rejoice at the indica l tions of progress on the part of Congress
 which are observable in the transactions
 of the last few days. The Senate, it will
 be seen, has passed the Texian Bounda- " Bill, and the Bill for the admission of California All northern men will rejoice in the admission of California into the sisterhood of States, s,--with her free Con- stitution, more to be valued than her mountains of gold. Instead of being repulsed for months, as she has been, she ought to have received hearty
 velcome to the Union. And she would have been thus welcomed, had it not been for southern insolcnce and northern subservicncy.
 In regard 10 the Texian Boundary Bill introduced by Mr. Pierce, of Maryland, and which passed the Senate last week, there may be and is an honest difference I r s1 of opinion among the real friends of free dom at the North. That the claim of Texas to any portion of New Mexico is unjust, we fully believe; but it is well to remember that MT. Folks administra. ton recognized her claim, and this reeog ! hilton gives Texas at least a plausible pre- text for her buster. The South, almost to a man. goes for sustaining the claim of Texas to the territory in dispute. Un> der these circumstances, we do not par 'icularly object to the line proposed by Mr. Pierce, especially as we have good reason-for believing that the territory which Texas wiLacquire by the passage of the bill, is unfitted for slave labor.
 The people of the North have been ac- customed to dcprecate the conduct of those southern statesmen and editors who who would legislate for or advocate tional linterests alone. We trust they will not act in Ike manner, but by word and deed let them show that they arc above the narrow policy which they condemn in others. Patriots should act for the good of the ohols country--not for benefit of d particular section.

conntrv he died in the highest position to which that country could elevate him Bnt. as citizens of Republic, we re
 gr,t that we shall see his face no more,
 and shall not in the trying times of the State. derive benefit from his wisdom, ol protection from his valor.
 But we are not without consolation. Ire life of an individual man is soon past but its influence, like the train of light that follows the sunset, remains to iIumine the world after he has passed on to other regions. The fame of d great and good man is the property of the race. The wealth he has toiled for ma, be squanjered the lands he cultivated may be waste the hearth which he has layed be desolate the marble which protects his ashes may be shattered his sons, his kindred, his name, his race, his nation, may have vanished but the words of wisdom which he uttered, the acts of heroism he performed, are as immortal as his soul.
 While life remains there is always possibility that judgement may err--that constancy may fail--and 1t Is only of the departed that we can say.
 ''For him the past is sealed,
 < He cannot fall ---" @$t 4s
 l" The fame and character of him whom we commemotate, is secure. His name is associated with those of the great and good who have preceded hia1 in office. He has become one of that constellation, whose benignant rays shed a blessing on our country, and by which the states. man shall guide the bark of state or its course in safety."

Music of the Pacific.

No one can be in Monterey, says a traveller, single night, without being startled and awed by the deep, solemn crashes of the surf. as it breaks along the shore. There is no continuous roa of the plunging waves as we hear ol the Atlantic sea-board the slow. regu- lar swells, rolled inward in unbroker lines, and fall with single, grand crushes, with intervals of dead silence between. They may be heard through the day if one listen, ike solemn under-tone to all the shallow noises of the town; but at midnight, when all else are still, those successive shocks fall upon the ear with g sensation of inexpressible solemnity. All the air from the pine ferests to the sea, is filled with a light tremor, and the intei hitting beats of sound are strong enough to jar delicate ear. Their constant repetition at last produces a feeling something like terror. A Aspirit, worn ard weakened by scathing o.row could scarcely bear the reyerberation.

 The design embraces the idea ot a ,,rapd circular colonnaded building. 25O feet in diameter, and 100 feet high, from which springs an obelisk shaft 70 feet at the base and 500 feet high.
