TYibune's Special Dispatches
The Senatorial struggle at Albany
The Night Session.
SPECIAL Dispatch TO 7S'e Tribune

SPECIAL DiratcA to I've Tribune
ALBANY, Wednesday A. NJ March 10.
During the whole of yesterday and last
night, the most intense excitement pre-
vailed in and around the Capitol. The
Senate chamber and ante-lO0m were dense
ly crowded all night. The movements
Of Senators and Members were closely
watched, as if they were suspected of
crime. None could leave the Hall for
whatever cause without eneounteriDg the
most energetic circumstances.
AT A. NJ. the Joint Resolution to 90
into the election of U. 5. Senator passed
the Senate--the Opposition talk having
been exhausted. 1t went Immediately to
the Assembly, where Mr.. WHEELER of
franklin got the floor and moved a suspen-
sion of the rule and concurrence in the
Resolution forthwith, and thereupon moved
the Prerious Question. Each motion pre-
vailed by decisive vote, and in fifteen
minutes after the resolve lefc the Senate,
it was returned concurred in.
Each House then proceeded to vote for
L. S. Senator, with the following result:
STANDARDIZATION Fish WING ....l6 Scat. .l2
Lieut.. Gov. CHURCH declared HAMILTON
FISH duly nominated on the part of the
Senate.
decentralization Fish.
John a. Dix. Scat.
Mr.. Speaker RAYMOND declared HAM
ILToN FISH duly nominated for Senator on
the part Of the House.
1t will be noted that most of the Opposition,
including Senator Beekman, seeing that they
could no longer control the result refused to vote
Dr. Brandreth arrived in the night-boat just too
late to vote against the Joint Resolution, but in
time to vote against Gov. Fish. There was an
abundant quorum voting in either House
Each House having thus effected a nom
nation, which was announced:
The Senate proceeded to the Assembly
Chamber to compare nominations, which
were found to agree: Whereupon HAMIL-
TON FISH was declared duly elected SEN
ator of the United States for six years from
the 4th inst. in place of Daniel S. Dickin-
son, whose term expired on the Sd, and
who declined a reelection, Ia la Walsh.)
The Joint Meeting was then dissolved.
The Senate, returning to its Chamber,
adjourned to II o'clock this day ; the House
ditto to 4 o'clock, PM. EYE.

DISCOVERIES II EASTERN AgRICA-At 4 re-
cent meeting Of the London Syro. Egyptian Socie-
ty, DR.. Beke communicated some notes" on re-
cent Geographical Discoveries in L stern Africa,
illustrated by a large map, on which he had
marked the position of the snowy mountains Kill
ma ditaro and Kenia, from the latter of which DR..
Beke entertained little doubt the waters poured
into the Nile. Baron Won Muller, late Austrian
Consul General in SEMINAR, had stated that the
natives of the valley Of the Bahr ell Aoiad, be-
tween 4 and 5 north latitude, were acquainted
with c very lofty white mountain, whose peaks
are completely white situated at a considerable
distance 10 the south Of their country and in which
that river is said 20 have its origin Dr.. exc no.
tced the volcano IN active state, Of the existence
of which in the Wskne6 country. northwest of
Mount K enia DR. Krspf received information from
the natives also the country OF the Unismesi, in
which is said to be large lake named sambiro,
apparently the lake Zambre Of the Portuguese,
and, according to DR.. Krapf quite distinct from
Nyassi, or Niassa, as the Doctor writes it. DR..
Beke agreed with DR.. krapf in looking on the
country Of the Uniamesi, or Of the moon as the
central point Of division between the waters fow-
ing TO the Mediterranean, to the Atlantic, and to
the Indian Ocean. This country is 10 be made
the center Of the missionary system now being
established in Eastern Africa, the Interior object
Of which is said TO be "to extend an eQuinoctial
chain Of missionary stations across the whole
breadth OF the continent, from East 10 Vest
The proximate sites OF the first stations deter
mined on were shown on the map.

Correspondence OF The Tribune.


Correspondence OF The Tribune
WAsmNGToN, Tuesday, March 10.
was informed by the Editor Of the Lam
caster Union and Tribune Mr.. HANMERsLYl,
who lately visited Washington during the
tendency Of his nomin alton for Postmaster at
that place, when it was before the Senate, that
he had known General JAMES the new Senator
elect from Rhode Island as Wig for many
years Mr. H. states that portion Of General
JAMES, family reside in Lancaster, which calls
that gentleman there very often aid upon nc
quent occasions for some years he has had oppor.
tunties for converting with him upon the subject
OF politics. Gen. JAMES is Interested IN manu-
features in Penn-yi~ania and ia some portions af
the South his interests are therefore identlh1
with a protective tarIM But independent OF this
MIR. II. states that he has never for a moment
supposed that the gentleman in question waB
ANYTHING but Wing in ali the other great cad
ing principles which distinguish the Wing party
from that spurious Democracy which has I'M.
posed itself upon the country. In conversation
he always avowed himself a believer ia Wing
doctrine and he had heard from bis own lips that
he had voted for many years with the Wing par.
ty, and continued Mr.. should as soon have
expected to hear my own fidelity called in ques'
ton. as to have heard from any citizen OF Ian.
caster an expression of doubt as to the Wing
sentiments of Gen. JAMES, and both are equally
well Known.
This is strong testimony testimony which may
be regarded as entirely objectionable and salts
factory. Itappears probable, from other sources
of information, that the simple object Of the Rhode
Island Democrats in favoring his election was
to send Compromise man and supporter OF
the Fugitive Slave Law. His Whiggery was
doubtless well understood. Our correspondent
does not seem to have seen a letter under Gen.
JAMEss own signature pledging himself to be
Wing. o,..,.
great satisfaction to Wings in these quarters. 1t
Is REGARDED as an omen that Ohio is rghting.-
Much anxiety is felt in reference to the reported
renewal of another attempt to elect Senator in
New.York. 1t appears to be hoped on all hands
that things may 60 more smoothly

rgE GOLD PLeRIMs....FOr The Tribune
BY NEVILLE STUART

WHERE, DER the desoIate prairies wide
A hundred rivers flow,
From peaks that lih, in hammered pride,
Their wealth Of gittering snow
And where, down in the gorges deep,
The mountain shadows rest
And where, far up the granite steep,
The eagle builds its nest;
And. afar, where no cooling waters flow,
To the Shrine of Gold the Pilgrims go!
Where scoriac valleys spread beneath
Where old volcanoes frown,
Whose rocky front the vine-leaves wreathe
With network. sere and brown;
And. where the steanling fountains gush
From hidden lava streams;
And where is heard, 10 nights lone hush,
The panther's savage screams,
To their hearts faint throb, they move on slow
Tothe Shrine of Gold the Pilgrims so!
And ever, in their hearts, they bear
The iondest thoughts Of home
Forever is their whispered prayer
For those from whom they roam;
In lonely hours, and hours OF fear,
For parents they revere,
For wife and child, or sweet heart dear,
sigh-a wish-a tear
Tells how they yearn as onward slow
To the Shrine Of Gold the Pilgrims go!
And, in a strange, uncultured land,
Where yellow treasures shlne'
In caverns, meath the glesmy sand,
The Fiend hath built his Shrine;
A horrid mocker of the heart
This Fiend who keeps the Gold;
Yet friend from dearest friend will part,
In willing slavery sold,
To toll where torrid summers glow....
To the Shrine Of Gold the Pilgrims go!

ASSEM- BLY,
n NJ

The Assembly met ct P. NJ.
The Sacketts Harbor Railroad bill being the
special order, the House in Committee OF the
Whole resumed its consideration, and the bill was
discussed up to the hour Of adjournment.
The House went into discussion on the bill ap.
propriaring 6 large section of the lands in the
Wilderness District to the Sacketts Harbor Rail-
road
Mr. Lyon Ind addressed the Committee in
favor Of the bill. He described the country
through which this road was to pass rs the Swift.
erland of New-Y York. He had heard much said
about bears wolves and catamounts in connection
with the land He had been through this section,
ard be could show poorer land within mile and
a half of the capitol than could be found there.
Land there at least produced timber; here it ex-
hibits but poor scraggy imitation Of it. This
Wilderness District needs only little OF the tos
tering care Of the State and it would soon devel-
ope its real strength 1t might be made one Of
the best grazing countries in the State. There
are there chain of one hundred miles OF AXE
NAVIGATION, which might be rendered available.
Mr. MACOMBER (Wbig) Of n. Y. City followed
in opposition. He denounced it as an attempt to
create one Of the most extraordinary mouopolies
that ever was suggested. 1t was q mission Of the
Shy lock after the Peoples Domain.
Mr.. VARNUM of n. Y. was tired of hearing this
perpetual talk about monopoly It was well
enough when Railroad Companies had to come
here for special charters. Railroads had built up
much OF the wealth OF the State, and he was weary
of hearing so much said shout "Corporstions aud
"Monopoes.' The question was taken and the
House adjourned.
