g4g- We have given to-day list of the mem
bers Of the new Congress, which We have
striven TO make as correct as possible. For
convenience sake, the old division Of Wing and
Democrat is retained, in conformity with the
previous political afiinites of the members, but
those ties are so loosely held now, that il is diff
ficult, if not wrong, so TO designate many in
both Houses The States Rights men, the
Constitutional Union men. the Freesoilers, the
Abolitionists, can scarcely be classed as com
ponent parts of the two old parties Nor can a
very harmonious feeling, or identity of interest
move the adverse wings of SEWARD and Ad-
ministration Whigs--old Hunker and young
Democracy--respectvely.
Desperate attempts will be made TO blend
these discordant elements into various combina-
tions-and the first week of the session will
make some curious revelations, and give some
inklings into future movements, as yet shrouded
in darkness and doubt
There can be no doubt that this will be very
busy session, even though little public business
be accomplished during its continuance.

On the 3lst OF October deputation of
French Democrats waited upon Kossuth with an
address, thanking him especially for his letter to

the admiration with which that great and brave
people, the first champions Of liberty, inspires
me. doubt not that the French people, not
withstanding the resistance of its government
and the opinions which divide it, will still take
the greatest and most generous part in the
events which the future is preparing for Europe.

ZIONIST in England, would carry on the prin-
ciple of free exports TO those countries which
would receive them, as that would give greater
employment, greater wages and more labor for
the manufacturers, and that would best promote
the prosperity OF the agricultural interests.
Hungary, in its present degraded situation, con-
sumes cotton to the extent of two and half
million OF pounds annually, bat not single
yard OF which is the product of Manchester in
dustry. But what would be the result to the
market Of Manchester, ii commerce were free,
and Hungary were developed! Cheers The
British exports dur ng the last three years, (that
is from the beginning of Is47 to the end of
lS49, the last year for which they have been
made up by your board .of'trade,) give an aver

British exports to the United States have given

great as these differences are--great IA they
vary--the despotic countries less and the Uni

increase Of those to the United States was very
considerable And whilst you have five times
more population in Austria than in the United
States, you have FIVE times more commerce with
the United States than with Austria and, there
fore, were freedom estab ished in the continent
tai countries, it is probable your commerce with
them would soon be rs per cent more than the
present amount, Hear, hear. The population
OF the United States is twenty-five or under
thirty millions, and highly manufacturing as they
are, they consume thus much of your commerce;
and so those countries would consume as much
or more than the whole of Great Britain and
Ireland. Cheers. You talk of decreasing
taxation by putting down ornaments and estab-
fishing peace, but while France has got arma-
ments, how can you expect that yours can be
dispensed with! And how can France reduce
her ornaments whilst there are large standing
armies existing around her? Therefore, gen,
tlemen, in entreating you for the principles of
liberty in Europe, ] am only arguing for the
school of which see the glorious leaders and
most energetic promoters before me-[hear,

FUGITIVE SLAVES ARRESTED AT COLUMBIA,
PEENsYL AYIA-On Friday last, two fugitive
slaves, owned by Mr.. WIN. T. McDermolt, of
this city, were arrested at Columbia, Pa, on
warrant issued by u. S. Commissioner Meal
lister, of Harrisburg. A large crowd of whites
and blacks Immediately assembled, and, in con-
sequence of the interference of white man,
who knocked pistol out of the officers hands,
one of the fugitives soon made his escape by
jumping into cellar, when the white man, to
prevent pursuit. jumped on the cellar door, so
that no access could be had to the fugitive.
The two negroes are brothers, and the one who
was captured and brought to this city has given
such information as TO lead to the hope that the
other may be re-captured. He also states that
two white men in this city assisted them in
making their escape TO Pennsylvania. Mr.. Nc
DeNabtt proceeded to Columbia yesterday morn
ing, for the purpose of taking measures to arrest
the man who interfercd and rescued the fugitive
from the hands Of the officers Baltimore Sun

PATRIOTISM OF THE OLD NORTH STATE
The old North State is apt TO be decried on the
score of her deficient patriotism, because she is
usually 80 silent on the subject. But it is very
doubtful If those who are 80 noisy in the asser.
ton of their own, are really half so active in
its proper exercise as our brethren of North
Carolina. Take a recent example. Col. Wheeler
is now publishing by subscription new history
of that State. What will our readers cay to the
fact that he has subscription list, from five
counties only, of ttoelpe thousand subscribers
Let any body try, in our State, to get work
through the press by subscription and what an
up hill work it is What labor, and seeking, and
searching begging and praying, to get barely
enough 10 pay expenses. Otherwise, the sub
scription list hangs upon the wall of the book

not now any history Of South Carolina to be

NEw FLYING MACBrNE.-The thousand and
first new experiment for flying by machinery
is just reported by a correspondent of the New
York Times. II is the invention of Mons
petin, who has been fifteen years engaged upon
the machine. lie claims for his discovery that
il is devised under the application of well known
laws, and the most rigid analogies, to new
form. He has exTerimented largely in studies
Of the laws Of motion, exempli6ed equally in
animated and inert bodies. In this pursuit he
has expended immense sums of money, which
he needs now only voyage in thin air 10 realize
again. His model is now on exhibition, and is
described as "a light open framework Of wood,
nearly two hundred feet in length by twenty
feet in breadth, which with all its apparatus of
cordage, sails steam engines, (of which there
are two small ones) ballast, crew, (of eight
men) and with the hree balloons to which it is
attached, and which have an elevating force of
10000 kilogrammes, weighs 1000 kilogrammes,
O5,500 pounds.) The essential features of
Petin's discovery, are fulcrum or centre of re-
sistance, (poinf d. appuD which is in that part
of his machine below the balloons, that may be
called the hull, and the production at will of a

s5g- Referring to a very ribald and ridiculous
assault on Senator SoULE by the Louisville Jour
nal, the Democrat Of that city says:
The attempt of the editor of the Journal to
rdicule Senator Soule yesterday, was in the
most wretched taste. Soule is a lawyer who
stands coniessedly at the head of the bar ia his
adopted State, and a man of distinguished abil-
ity in the opinion of all who know him. His
speeches in the Senate, cur neighbor never read,
or he would not have made such BOBBY OF
himself, in trying to ridicule them. Soue has
few equals in the Senate of the United States
We are ashamed Of this exhibition the editor OF
the Journal has made of himself We thought
he had learned more sense than to go OIL into
such badinage, without knowing what he was
writing about. We differ with Senator Soule
in some of his views, but man OF talents
and honorable bearing, few men 10 the South
stand higher.
