WASHINGTON, March IL.
SsNAfR.>Mr. Seward ably reviewed

no should vote in favor of her admission.
California was already complete State
and could never be less, He was OPP
posed to connecting any other compro'
mise Ufthe Slavery qustion with the ques'

The ecclesiastic in a tone hardly civil,re-

The WIDOW OF GEN. WoRTH-.-A bill
is now before Congress for the relief Of
the widow of the late Gen. Worth, who
is understood to be in far from easy
pecuniary circumstances. We fancy that
none who remember Niagara and Boards
town, Pilaklakaha, Monterey, Vera Cruz,
and the battles in the valley of Mexico.
will urge an objection to provision for
the widow of one who lived his whole
manhood in the service Of his country.
There can be no reason why the widows
and the orphans Of many officers and
privates who died like Gen. Worth, from
the effects of exposure, should not be
similarly provided for.

who was in attendance, aud said, "Tay.
lor, the rain comes into my mouth what

question, Taylor replied, "uad not youl

Upon which his hghness, with tn,
energy aud precision which so strongl,
characterize his minutSst actions, imme
diately shut his mouth, and no more rain
found admiltance during tho remainder

Far as the eye could reach the scene

full import floating lumber, bales and
cases of goods, barrels and boxes, tents
and small houses were floating in every
direction. The poor and suffering beasts
were in pitiable condition and called
forth the sympathy of all, and what could
be was done to save them. Hundreds
of horses, mules andoxen. were wander.
ing about seeking places of security and
food. Some gained places OF safety by
swimming mile or more to the high
bluff back of the city. 1t was sad to

When the Senator left, the entire city

the second stories of houses, The only
means of getting about was by boats
aud every imaginable craft was engaged
in navigating the streets. The ridge OF
high land, about two miles in the rear ol
the city, was literally studded with tents
and human beings were mingled with
alIrighted animals, who had also taken
refuge on terra 6rma. Sut,ersville was
overflowed, but the fort was still dry
Numbers Of small tonements had beer
