WAsuINGroH, D. c., Feb. 9, 1850.
Dear Sir:-A much better spirit of concil;a
ton is being manifested by some of the mem
bcrs of Congress from the South, with the North
ern and Eastern, and it is com:ncndable that it
should be so, among brethren who have so much
to lose By division Of our political family of
States. Fanaticisin OF the worst kind, has done
much to create the present unfortunate crisis,
but 4 better feeling is coming over portion Of
the members; for let me tell you that the fire
brand resolution, offered some time back by Mr.
Root, of Ohio, in the House, was on Monday
voted to lay on the table-ayes 1O5, nays 10
Several Of the members from New York and
other Eastern States, voted with the majority.
Mr.. Giddings, of Ohio, true to his instinct Of
disorganzation, and fanatclsm and d!sunion, af-
ter his brother Root had been voted down, arose
and moved the following resolutions. See Con
!
that the; also be laid upon the tabc-oycs lO4,
naus 49, Which vote is happy omen that free
soil abolitionism has had its day, and will in a
few years be heard Of no more. Such we hope
will be the case for more unbridled, unplin-
cipled set of mon never disgraccd the land, than
this selfstyled- Liberty. free standardization clGn
that is now in Congress. 1t is not in the power
Of man to reason with them; they have but the
one idea, and that is, that the negro has more
rights inherent from his nature, than the Con-
stituton of the land gives in the right of proper
ty to his owner, set forth fully in the compact,
that binds the States in one family. In other
words, they do nat consider McnsclUcs, as J0und
Jy their oArHs, to support the Constitution 1t
gives me pleasure to record, that Iowa has no
such representatives, in Congress. They are
sans peur sans reproachc. In fact, a friend to
the Union cannot be fanatic; therefore fan
attic is misanthrope, man hater, and enc
my to good government.
In the Senate, on Tuesday, MIR. Clay, of KY,
commenced his argument on the compromise
resolutions which he offered for consideration
last Tuesday week. He spoke two hours and a
half on Tuesday, und near three hours on We'd
nesday. His speech was delivered in his usual
brilliant manner, but somewhat deficient in voice,
from his age. He is, Mr.. Editor, wonderful
man. Thousands nocked to the Senate to hear
him, and many more for the first time to see him,

Of ladies were there, who hung upon his words

California postage.

Many inquiries have been made, by those who
are preparing to 20 to California, as to the pos
tage upon letters and papers to that country, and
the facilities for their transmission, and delivery,
when once arrived at the Post Offices there. On
single letters, the postage is 40 cents, which
may be prepaid or not. On newspapers, the
postage is 4l-2 cents, prepaid, except when sent
from the Office adjudication.
In consultation with persons, just returned
from California, we learn that, no difficulty now
exists at the Offices, either at San Francisco or
Sacramento City, in obtaining letters or pa

RETURsED.-Mr. Richard Cox, who left in
March last for California, has recently returned
10 this City, having, as we understand, quite a
comfortable share of"the DUST His advice to
those who talk of going is this fyou have no
family, and can get off without making sacri-
fee, you harc chance of doing aoeN by going; if,
however, the contrary is the case, you had bet
ter stay where you are.
This is doubtless good advice, which it would
be wise to follow, but we fear the five ounce
lump of gold, which Mr.. Cox exhibits, will
have the effect to counteract it, with many, who
have families, and who cannot get off without
making sacrifices greater than prudence would
dictate

The schooner H. Lindsay, of Norfolk, arrived

on deck and several shots were fired at him, one
Of which took effect in the neck, causing him to
retreat
The men then took a beat and attempted to
scuttle the vessel, in which they were prevented
by the boat being cut adrift. The schooner rea-
