THE SESSION OF CONGRESS.


The most inattentive observer cannot but have re-
which have characterized the proceedings OF the two
Houses OF Congress- thus far during the present SEES
son The contrast, in this respect between the tenn
per of the two Houses at the last Session and the
present, though doubt due in part to the effect of
time upon all human agitatons and excitement is we
presume, mainly owing to the influence of the pacify-
ing measures comprised in the general phrase "ths
COMPROMISE" with which the last Session closed
and to the calm but firm determination shown as well
by the Senate and House ofRepresentatves as by the
Executive Department of the Government to regard
that adjustment final settlement to be enforced
the part of the General Government by all the au.
thorty whichthe Constitution and Laws placed in its
hands, at the same time that it enoined upon the
Chief Magistrate ofthe United States to "take care
that the Laws shall be faithfully executed"
The progress in the public business in Congress has
hardly been answerable to the time which has elapsed
since its commencement. The action of the two Hou-
ses has, however, been mehodcal, as we'll as delibe-
rate, and the business before them 10 in greater for
wardness towards completion than to casual obser-
yer it would appear to be. All the essential acts oil
legislation will doubt not, be perfected before the
Session closes, and, with them, some measures now
depending in which the People take deep interest,"
Among these we may, without invidous dscrimina-
ton partcularze the River and Harbor Bill, as it is
commonly called the passage of which is due to the
claims and hopes long deferred, of vast region oil
country, whose interests have been too long neg
| lected, not to say wilfuly disregarded.
Ii, at the end OF the Session, any thing shall be left
undone which ought to have been done, it is at least
| consolation to know, beforehand, that there is nc
nent, OF necessary measures of legislation being de-
ieated IN either House, by any combination of Mem
bers, upon principles having relation to the merits
OF those measures.

THE DAILY TIMES.
RECoLLECTIoNs OF CHILDHOOD.

RECOLLECTIONS OF CHILDHOOD.
THE DYING TEACHER.
1t only seems like yesterday,
The morning fresh and cool,
When first with satchel on my arm,
l bent my steps to school.
My path lay through pleasant lane,
Where leafy boughs did meet
Above my head, while traced in gold
They play'd around my feet.
AT length reached the little school,
A calm, sequestered spot;
BY me, tar down the vale of years,
1t is not yet forgot.
Our teacher kindly took my hand,
And sweetly on me smiled,
For oh she had not yet forgot
That she was once child.
She still look'd young and beautiful,
But to my fancy seem'd
That, even in her happiest moods,
OF brighter lands she dreamd.
She often spoke of some fair shore.
Where all her treasure lay,
And said that soon her little bark,
Would moor within lis bay.
We thought she'd like the holidays.
That thither she might fly
10 that bright land where tears, she said,
Are wiped from every eye.
One morn we Mss d her from the school,
Day FOLLOWED after day,
Another teacher filled her place,
And still sho stayed away.
And still she stay'd, and ne er refund,
For unto her was given,
A never-ending holiday,
In the bright land of heav'n.

AufM Accident Welcome TO Leutse, the artist.
The new steamship William Penn, of the Boston
line, left port at ten o'clock this afternoon, with
large freight and quite number of passengers.
Her departure was attended with an awful acci-
dent, involving the life of Eugene Cromwell, the
first mate. He was in the act of moving q small
brass swivel, that had been placed on the bow,
and loaded for the purpose of firing salute,
when the cord attached to the lock caught in some
thing, or was trod upon by himself, and the ham,
mer falling upon the percussion cap caused the dis
charge of the load He was in front fthe piece at
tho time, bending down over it, and the charge
took effect in the region Of his groin, manging his
person awfully. He removed TO the Hospital,
where but little hope is anticipated OF his recovery
He is q highly estimaole young man, OF about
twenty. five, from Garmo nth, Mass, where his re-
latons reside.
The artists of this city gave the eminent paiater,
Leutze q most en- .husiasti; welcome, last evening,
on the occasion of his return to this city, after an
absence of eleven years He was, yesterday, es-
corte to the Academy of Fine Arts, the Art Union,
and to the various studios Of his brethren, in this
city and in the evening partook OF handsome
entert anment. After his return TO his lodgings at
the United States Hotel, he was sereuaded BY
Breter's Brass Band. The distinguished artist
remains the guest of the "Graphic Association OF
Philadelphia"
