AUTUMN LEAVES.

Oh, autumn leaves,
Summers brgh roses one by one have past;
Gone Is the beauty OF the golden sheaves;
Ye come at last,
Prophets OF winter hours approaching fast!
Oh, autumn leaves,
Why look ye thus SO brilliant in decay1
Why, for the dying year when Nature grieves,
Are ye so gay
With richer hues than graced her opening day.
Oh, autumn leaves
Ye, as We don your crimson robes Of mrtb,
While dull decay Enoment scarce reprieves
Yours forms from EARTH
Ye tell US, happier tar is death than birth
Oh, autumn leaves
Like you the dying saint in spendor grows;
With each faint pulse of life that feebly heaves
AT evening" close,
His every grace with added glory grows
Oh, autumn leaves.
Like you, he casts aside all hues of gloom,
And OF his Frightening hopes chaplet weaves
rha, DER his tomb
Throws the glad promise of eternal bloom.

AFFAIR." at Washington.-The correspondent of
the Charleston Courier furnishes that paper with
the following account Of affairs in the Capitol:
The session is about to commence with rather
less of harmony among the majority than was
expected. The Southern Union men required a
pledge from the democratic members, to cooperate
with them in support in supporting. the Compro-
mise measures Of 1850, as settlement of the
slavery question. The northern and western mem
bers, through fear of their constituencies, were
unwilling to give this pledge. They were willing
to let the subject of slavery rest, together with ali
the Compromise measures, but not to commit their
party, in the North, to any new promises. The
avowed democratic free-soiers kept themselves out
of the caucus. The caucus was held at the Capt.
tol, and about ninety members assembled. Mr..
Richardson, Of Illinois, was appointed Chairman /;
and Messrs. Hall, of Missouri, and Stanton, Of
Tennessee, Secretaries. Mr.. Polk, of Tennessee,
offered the dreaded test resolutions, pedging the
members to maintain the adjustment Of 1850 A
vehement debate followed, and the Union men, see-
ing that storm was gathering, determined to meet
it. Each party was prepared to withdraw il
beaten the test. The opponents Of the test pre-
vailed, and the resolutions were laid the table.
number Of the Union men of the South then
withdrew, but others remained to give Mr.. Boyd a
vote in preference to Mr.. Disney, OF Ohio.
Mr.. Boyd was nominated as Speaker-he having
81 votes, and Mr.. Disney %. Mr.. Forney was
nominated Clerk.
The Union men of the South avow their deter
minatlon to enter into separate organization.
Having lost their test proposition in the caucus
they will insist upon it, they say, in the Baltimore
Convention and if they fail there, they will then
unite with the Northern Union wings. This is
what they now say, but perhaps more harmony will
prevail after while. 1t is quite certain, however
that the same scene is to be enacted tomorrow in
the Senate caucus.
The democratic Senators will have a caucus in
which Gen. Foote will introduce and insist upon
resolution decaratve of the finality Of the Compro
mise, and pledging the Senators to support it in al
its parts.
Mr.. Foote will leave the Senate. he says, abou
Christmas, and return to Mississippi, where he
will be naugurated as Governor on the Sth January
Tomorrow morning the Supreme Court vii
meet. A mandate will be applied Immediately for tc
compel Mr. Whittlesey, the Comptroller of the
Treasury, to pay certain sums decreed by the U
