A Fact FOR GIDDINGs, HALE Co.-Mrs
Stowe may write, and Giddngs, Hale & Co.
may pre,ch until doomsdny, but one little fact
that has come TO our know ledge, casts to the
winds nll they can say on the subject. on which
they discourse so ignorantly. On Saturday
last gentleman of Alabama arrived in this
city from Baltimore, having with him negro,
who had run away from his plantation some
time since, and whom he had recovered under
the following circumstances. Standing one
morning recently in front of the Hotel at which
he was sejournng ut Baltimore, he as accost.
ed by "A half starved and pitiable looking
negro, hom he presently recognized as the
fugitive from his estate. Asking him what he
wanted, he stated that he had been residing in
Canada, and after suffering nnumerable hard
ships, he had determined 10 retrace his steps
and return to the home he had so abruptly
quilted, and had got so for when providential-
ly he found his master, and now entreated him
to take him back with him. The warm heart
ed Planter at once Consented, fed and clothed
him, and the negro passed through this city
with him as contented and happy mortal as
any on earth He has learned lesson he will
never forget. and affords practical commen-
tary on the insanity of those who would inter-
fere with n condition Of things, the practical
working of which is perfectly unknown 10

In the Senate. the House bill declaring the
Wheeling Bridge a lawful structure. was re-
fused consideraiion-ayes 2l, noys 80.
An amendment was made to the Civil and
Diplomatic bill. appropriating 100000 to
build Custom House in Richmond.
The River and Hnrbor bill. after long dc.
bate, was ordered to be ngrosscd-ayes 81,
nays IL.
Inthe House, the session was pretty much
occupied by Mr.. Polk of Tennessee, abusing
Gen. Scott and calling members of tho House
liars We have space to-day for only the fol
lowing meagro sketch, which we find in the
Baltimore papers
We think, from the signs. the Democracy
are growing desperate. They feel TINT their
chances quite hopeless;-and they fancy
that by bullying and abuse, they may revive
their fortunes. But the dog is dead.
The idea of an understanding between Gen.
Scott and Santa Anna is funny IVo gave
Santa Anna the permit to return to Mexico p
Il. Wig.
Mr. Polk addressed the House an hour in op
position To Gen. Scott. In the course Of his
remarks he alluded to his colleague, Mr.. Cul
lum, saying that when that gentleman intmat-
ed in n square in this CRY that Gen. Frank
Pierce or his horse tainted, he lied.
Mr.. Cullum-I say that when my colleague
insinuates that | have made false misrepre-
sentstion, he is a liar.
The chairman called both gentlemen TO or
der, and great excitement ensued.
Mr. PoIk--Let the gentleman send friend
to me, and that will do.
Mr.. p. then proceeded to show that Gen.
Scott was no more fit for the presidency on &c.
count of his military qualifications than on the
ground Of his civil merits. in this connection
charging an understanding between Gen. Scott
and Gen. Santa Anna during the Mexican war.
Mr.. White, of Kentucky, inquired of tho
gentleman if any facts could be produced to
show that an understanding existed In the
Mexican war between Gen. Scott and Gen.
Santa Anna.
Mr.. Polk replied in the affirmative. He
understood that the gentleman was to be put
forward 10 attack him, and he would receive
him with open arms. He would say To the
gentleman from Kentucky that his Mr.. P.'s)
purpose was not to enter into personal conflict,
but he had learned that he had been pitted to
assail him. lie would tell tho gentleman that
he understood the rules which governed honor
in their part of the country, and when he asked
he would answer him.
Mr.. White.-The gentleman says that
nave peeh p'ied 10 ahso h'h' Guy IL ID
false.
Mr.. Polk.-That there may be no misappre-
bension, tell the gentleman he is liar.
Great excitement took place. and the chair.
man called the gentleman to order A motion
was made that the committee rise, which was
ruled out of order--Mr. Polk being entitled to
the floor
Mr.. Polk then concluded his remarksspeak-
ing in strong terms against the reputation Of
General Scott as soldier
All debate being here closed in committee.
The committee rose for the purpose of allow
ing Mr.. Cullum to make personal explana-
tion-when
Mr. Cullum spoke severely Of tho course of
in the House He also. in an impassioned strain
defended the fame of General Scott.
