Congressional.
Thirty-first COngrcss---First
Session.


WASHINGTON, Jan 10.
In the Senate, Mr., Hale replied to Mr..
Clemens, and remarked that the Sena-
tor from Alabama had convinced him
of one thing, but had failed to convince
him of anything else-,hat was a con-
cession that fanatics never satisfy fanat.
icism. He continued speaking at some
length in defence of the resolution.
Mr. BUTLER followed, and said that
Mr.. Seward and others had avowed doc
trlnes that must necessarily lead 10 the
dismemberment of the confederacy.-
The South had never. in any respect. or
for any purpose, desired dissolution of
the Union. For one, he could not sit
and hear sentiments expressed, calcula-
ted 10 degrade the South, and not, on be
half of himself and his constituents, ex-
press their ieprobation. He asked where
slaves, when forced away, found hospi-
tality equal 10 that found at home. He
referred to the case of John Randolph's
emancipated slaves, who, he said, were
driven out of the State of Ohio at the
point of the bayonet. '@
Mr.. CHASE replied, that Randolph's
slaves are now living in the State of O.
hio. No sufferers are driven from her
borders at the poin; of the bayonct.
Mr. HUNTER said, they were driven
off by company of armed men, with
offensive weapons. II they were per-
mitted to return he was not aware of it.
Mr.. BUTLER resumed: the gentleman
had denied that societies existed, whose
object was to circulate incendiary publi-
cations among blacks; he referred also to
incendiary publications found in South
ern Post Offices.
Mr.. HALE: Will the Senator saw
whether those documents were sent or
directed TO blacks!
Mr. BUTLER: They were directed TO
just such white men as YOURSELF; (augh-
ter persons who, coming from free
States, arc traitors to the constitutions
under which they live.
Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS replied to Hale,
and proceeded to depict the aggressions
against the South. He said, they knew
their rights and feel their wrongs, but
they will maintain those rights at every
hazard. If gentlemen had come here to
insult one section of the Union, to dis
tract and disever-if they were here TO
bring about civil war, thea let the first
battle be fought. AS to the excitement
on this motion TO print, he would say.
however offensive and unjust, insulting,
untrue or unreasonable the resolutions,
he would vote for printing them.
The Senate adjourned until Monday,
when PHELPS will vindicate the resolu-
tons. . .. r

The greatest remedy OF the age seems
TO be the celebrated medicine called II.
G. Farrell's Arabian Linlment. II is
used as an external application, and is
said TO possess most wonderful qualities
for healing, quieiing pain, restoring pal
sled limbs, &c. A friend had a most
severe bruize which threatened NORTH
cation: he had used several remedies to
no effect, when he was advised to Try H.
G.. Farreli's Arabian I.inimcnt, one bot

have no doubt, from the extent Of the in-
Jury, but for this excellent medicine he

Who Rules!

The Cincinnati Gazatte points out the
glaring inequality in the organization OF
the Senate committees. The South has
largely the preponderance. For instance:
The judiciary committee is composed
of three slave holders and two non
shareholders.
The committee on Foreign Relations
has three members from the slarehold-
ing States and two from the Free States.
The committee on Military Affairs has
three from the Soutt, and two from the
North. .. ..... -....
That on the Militia has four from the
slaveholding and one from the non-slave-
holding States. -." t1 .
On Judiciary Affairs, the committee is
all from the Southern States.
On Naval Affairs, the South have three
and the North two. a.... ..
The Post Office committee is ditto.
District of Columbia, ditto. .."
The committee o, Territories is ditto
with Mr.. Douglass, ''a Northern man
with Southern principles" as Chairman.
Arkansas is represented on six com
mittees; South Carolina 3; Missississip-
pi 3; Virginia 4; Louisiana 4; Ohio 2;
and the Empire State of New York
of more weight in the Union than any
four Southern Sates--has only place on
one committee (! This shows pretty
plainly who rules. "Rule or rum
seems to be the motto of the South. Who
believes that the Southern members have
any serious intention of dissolving the
Union, VIII lie they can hold such pre-
ponderance in the Government as this!

The terrible circumstances connected with the

approached within few hours Of the disaster, il s

picked up. These affairs, however, never create
