The struggle between the North and the South has
commenced in a remarkable manner. Yesterday being
the day for petitions, resolutions. &c., Mr. Doty OF Wis.
consn, rose to offer resolution in the House. proposing
the admission Of California with her proposed consu-
ton and boundaries Independent OF any other territorial
question, and sending the resolution to the Committee on
the Territories No sooner was the resolution submit
ted than the previous question called and carried ;
and thus the subject not to be the Committee
Of the Whole for any debate and all discussion in this
stage Of the transaction to be cut off, The southern
members taking exceptions to this mode Of proceeding
determined to arrest it by calling for adjournment and
sundy other motions, which the yeas and nays
taken
Our reporter brings down the history Of these proceed
ings to half-past o'clock last evening. But we our
selves left the hall at II o'clock, when similar motions
were repeated and successive motions to adjourn were
defeated. although finally no quorum Of the House
appeared to answer to their names point would be
made at IL o'clock whether the legislative day did not
expire at that hour and consequently break the order
receiving resolutions whether the day did not run on
10 O'Clock to-day in which case the House would
probably sit all night When the day Monday ex.
PRED the order would be broken, and this resolution
to admit California could not be renewed until next
Monday week Happily for all parties. there was no
violence Of expression any ill temper manifested on
this occasion.
This is the first scene of the drama Who can tell
tcen how it will terminate But does il not strike ev
cry American patriot how important is terminate this
whole slavery question al once spirit Of compromise
Why this constant Earring and struggle which only
produce the most violent excitement and bring the Union
itself into DANGER Everything around teaches
this important lesson, and shows that nothing be
accomplished satisfactory be done with the
territorial and other connected with slavery,
and the ordinary business of legislation must be nearly
suspepded-unless the genius Of Cancellation may come
in to compromise this agitating and embarrassing ques.

British Railroada.

The amount Of Railroad travel lin Greui
Britain continues to increase from year to
year, though Of course. not in proportion
TO the increased extent Of the railroad line
opened for travel. On the Both Of June
last, there were 5,5l4 miles Of railroad
open, on which the gross receipts for the
six months ending on that day amounted
10 E5,S2S, ,l28, which is equal to an aver
age Of fl,077 per mile Of railroad open.
In the corresponding six months Of the
preceding year the receipts amounted to
f5. 1854, the length Of railway being
4,7ll miles at the end Of the period, and
the average receipt per mile fl,ll7. This
shows an increase in the number Of miles
of S03 miles, with nm increase 10 the re.
ceipts Of f704, 1855. The returns show u
positive increase per mile on most Of the
old lines, bu; much smaller receipt per
mile on the routes recently opened, which
are mostly extensions or branches Of pre-
viously established routes, built more for
public accommodation than for profit on
the investment. ysr'd rqs9'

Dignity.

y H. f-
The Indiana banks, at their last quarterly
meeting, determined nottounite with those
Of Ohio in the effort to keep down the price
Of Eastern Exchange, but resolved that it
was beneath their dignity'',to redeem their
notes with Exchange in Cincinnati-that
the counter Of each bank was the only pro-
per place, and specie, and nothing else, the
only proper thing with which each bank
ought to redeem its notes.
The Cincinnati Price Current, in COM
menting upon the above mentioned resolu-
ton, says it has heard Of persons dying Of
too much dignity. Well, it is rather dan
gerous to be overstocked with dignity, and
even banks sometimes have had too much Of
this sublime article. 1t is "beneath their
dignity" occasionally to open their doors, at
which times there is generally q very digni-
fed looking sign hung out with the words,
Shank closed" upon it. Sometimes their
dignity prompts them to suspend payment
and at others to refuse to redeem their notes
at all. Banks are very dignifed concerns,
and they have dignified persons in them.-
We must confess, however, that we are
somewhat pleased with the dignity Of the
Hoosier bankers, 50 far as it relates to re.
deeming notes with specie, sand nothing
