we observe that tile extraordinary course Of
MIR. SoULE and Mr.. CLEMENS, in occupying
the time of the Senate by reading public docu-
ments, on the last night of the session, is pro-
perly rebuked by the press in all quarters.
The conduct OF these gentlemen, on the oc-
casion to which we refer. is perhaps more re-
markable than was ever before exhibited IN
that body. Conduct so disrespectful to the
body-so entirely at war with all the cour-
tesies and mere decencies of Senatorial DO
lemics-we have never before been called upon
to witness From the somewhat rude and print
tive manners Of Mr.. CLEMENS, we might have
expected this violation of decorum; but that a
man ad ,mguem-an accomplished Partisan
like MIR. SoULE should have been guilty Of
such breach of ordinary propriety-s mat
ter altogether inexplicable. 1t is obvious that it
must have been merely partisanship that caused
him to swerve SO far from his habitudes
We have no doubt that in consequence of
the gross abuse Of the rules of the Senate by
Mr.. CLEMENS and Mr.. SoULE, in their oppo-
sition to the River and Harbor bill, the first
step of the Senate at its next session will
70 W ouVPS ooho PioVlSiOu vi TIC NATURE
of the PREvIoUs QUEsrIoH. If there had
been any previous question in the Senate the
River and Harbor bill would have been
law; and it would not have been in the
power of one or two, or Of dozen, men to de-
feat the will of large majority of the SEN
ate on any subject. We cannot understand
the principle on which the Senate can yolun-
tarily adopt rules the effect Of which is to
prevent the full expression Of its own views,
and the realization of the wiH Of its own ma
jority. The Senate is so constituted as to ex-
press the permanent and conservative sense of
the States. Why they should frame rules cal
culated to defeat that sense, we cannot imagine.
1t is clear enough that the Senate cannot ex-
ercise its rightful, constitutional influence on
affairs, as long as it cuts itself off by its own
rules from giving effect to its own opinions
We hope, therefore, that there will be such
revision of its rules at the next session of Con-
gress, as will lend its weight to the majority
and not the minority of its own body.

News from California.

By reference to our telegraphic head, it will
be perceived that the steamer North America
arrived yesterday at New York from Chagres,
bringing two weeks later intelligence from
California. Besides nearly half million of
dollars in gold dust which this steamer has
brought, it appears that the extraordinary
amount of four millions (if the telegraph has
not exaggerated) had arrived at Panama on its
way, we suppose, to the Atlantic cities. This
looks as if the klamath sands might have
turned out to be something after all, although
nothing is said about them in our despatch.
Certainly, according to this account, there is
no remarkable dearth yet, in California, Of

FLooD IN THE ALABAMA RIvEns.--W We learn from

late rains the interior have greatly flooded many
Of the rivers in Alabama. The river ut Mont

ing miles wide opposite the city. Forty eight
hours previously it had commenced falling, but the
floods OF rain that had fallen would undoubtedly
carry it higher than ever.

''The Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion Of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures Of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle a.
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from impcrfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should DO ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, so
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this; the security Of
the Constitution requires this; and every conside
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
of the message, it does not expect to stand at ALL"

MKsxERIsM, SPIRITUAL RAPPINo, &c.--A case OF
insanity has occurred within few days, by reason
OF the revelation made by mysterious raps that the
steamship Atlantic had been wrecked with the loss
of all ON board; although, since this melancholy
catastrophe, the passengers, whose ''sprits" were
declared to have made the rapping, have arrived
at home; one Of them to find his wife maniac,
from belief in these ghostly knockings. Another
female has just been scnt to the asylum by reason
Of mesmeric operations upon her nervous system,
avowedly for the purpose of rendering her clair
