Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Aug. 1S.-In the
Senate to-day the bill was passed for the construe
ton of ship canal at Sault st. Marie. The SEN
ate then took up the River and Harbor Bill, and
Mr.. Cass opposed the amendment providing Tor a
ship canal from the Mississippi River to the Gulf
of Mexico. He said that the bill as it stands is
moderate, and might be got, through but that ad-
ditional amendments would endanger its passage,
and he would oppose all further amendments.
In the House the Wheeling Bridge bill came
up and, after debate, was referred, The House
then went into Committee of the Whole on the
Navy bill. An amendment was introduced, pro
viding that no appointment of midshipmen to the
Navy School should be made, except upon the re-
commentator of the members OF Congress from
the District where the candidate may reside.

roic Conduct and intense Suffer
ing.
A letter in the st. Louis Republican from Santa
Fe gives long and interesting account of des-
perate fight in the interior OF New Mexico be-
tween four white traders and sixty Apache Indi-
At the first charge the Indians succeeded in
getting all their horses but one, and desperately
wounding Grand Jean, one of the whites. who
rescued from the Indians as they We're about
to scalp him. In making the rescue two others
of the four men Were wounded with slugs Night
coming on, the Indians retired, built fires all
around the little band of rnen, three OF whom
were suffering from wounds. At dawn the next
morning, the Indians resumed hostilities bat the
men being protected by mound, met their char
ges gallantlyand used their revovers with terrible
effect. Mr.. Daily, the only one of the party not
wounded, had his clotdes ridded with slus:s. An
other, named Henry, received slug In his left
leg. in front, direct on his port-monnaie, which
was at the time filled with doubioons and silver
to the amount of Si00. This saved his leg from
being broken, but the conclusion great
to cripple him coplpleteiy. Finally, by strata
gem, Daily jumped on their only horse, broke
through the Indians while his COMPANIONS kept
up the deadly fire them and proceeded to a
place called Carrisai for assistance. The second
night set In, and hostlltles were again suspended.
The three men remaining became so worn down
from fatigue and the want OF provisions and wa
ter, that they were compelled to gun powder,
and subsequently urine, which but aggravated
their sulerIngs.
At II p. H., there seeming 10 prospect Of the
Indians leaving Henry made up his mind to reach
Carrisal or perish. And with this determination
he set out, limping and dragging his wounded leg
after him; the other two it seems left after.
and made their escape. Grand Jean, after travel
ing some distance felt his wound commence bleed
ing afresh; and lie says he was completely lost,
and knowing well his situation, he consigned his
soul to his Maker and iel asleep, as he thought,
but he had tainted. The other three succeeded
in reaching Carrisal, and found that Grand
Jean missing. At this Daily offered $500
to party OF Mexicans to go and bring him in
dead or alive. Seventeen Mexicans started in
search of him-found him lying on the read, and
brought him to Carrisal, where his companions
left him to recover from his wounds, they going
to Ell Passo. After they left he offered to pay
them the S3G0, but they refused to take it, and
committed him to prison, until finally they exact
ed $500, robbed MIN Of all the movable property
he had, and then drove him out of the town. At
ter being five days without water provisions
he joined his companions in a critical condition.

On Monday night last. between one and two
o'clock, a fire broke out in DR., r. H. Hargraves'

loss $4,000. Many of the papers belonging to the
u S. Land Office were consumed, the office being
over Hicks < Bumpass store. The flames then
crossed the street. and in few minutes laid in
ashes the handsome of offices erected last
winter on the Jail lot, owned by Judge Horner
and H. P Coolidge & Co., worth about 81 900.
By the most extraordinary exertions the flames
were here arrested, though for some time, it was
problematicai whether vestige of the business
portion of our town would be left So confident
were merchants that they commenced pack
ing up and removing their merchandise to secure
places.
We felt confident at the outset of the fire, that
the destruction of our office was inevitable and
in the most hurried manner removed the materi-
ais, &C., but by the shifting of the wind and the
assistance of few kind friends, the building was
saved. and with several other buildings adjoining
While we sincerely deplore the heavy loss
many % our friends have sustained we cannot let
the opportunity pass of noticing the forttude they
manifest III their misfortune and the lnvinclbie
energy they have shown in preparing to so on
with their accustomed pursuits.
This is, indeed, heavy calamity upon our
town. but while it is dear-bought experience, we
trust it may not prove Improbable in the end, for
something of the kind seemed necessary to awak-
en- the citizens to proper of duty in ortify-
ing themselves against such calamities in future

EXCELLENT MAxIMs-The following is

Keep your own secrets, if you have any
When you speak to a person, look him in

Giddings upon Scott and tsse WINS
PLATFORM.

The only issue which our opponents make
against Gen. Scott in the South is las they saw
that he was brought forth by the freesoilers, and
as their candidate-that he is therefore unsafe on
the slavery question. The democratic Elector for
this State, NJ. Nicholson, has stated, in Of
his speeches. La the face Of this read what Hon.
Joshua r. Giddings, leading freesoiler, says, in
4 late speech OF Gen. Scotts position on that sub
ject:
With the gentleman nominated (Gen Scott
have long been acquainted. To him nor to the
democratic nominee have | any personal obiec-
ton but if elected, he rs pledged TO maantajn tie
oatageS, the re00ttIag crimes, pertaining to tie Com
promise nleosnres and FmgitiUe Syare Lar to which
have called attention-to render them perpetual, so
Jil he may be abie-tO preoea all discussion rtat
ing to them To vote for him is to vote for his poll
cy-to identity ourselves in favor of the avowed
doctrines ,ohict he IS pledged to snpport-to give
proof by votes tnat we approve the platform
on which he stands. But, sir, why vote tor Scott
in preference to Pierce! Of the men say nnth-
ing. They merely represent the doctrines OF the
parties VINO nominated them. Ifthere be a differ
between those parties it is on the slave ques
ton. 1t can be found in nothing else
"Ihe doctrine of the Wing party. as haze shoacn,
ptedge them and their candidate to maintain slaUery:
the breeding OF slaves for market; the sale Of wo-
men In this District and in the Territories; to mp
hold the EagtfOe Gisc ~ ali c0mi time to admit
many save St2teS as SilaIl apply from New MEX
leo and Utah, and to silence discussion on aI these
subjects
Again. on another occasion, Giddings said
Besides, Gen. Scott is well known to have la
bored lor the passage of the Compromise meas
ures. He attended the Union meeting in New
York and avowed himself in favor of them
From that day to the present he has not heSitated
TO declare his position in favor of them He de-
Iiberatey takes his place upon the whig platform
and pledges himself to carry it into practice
Now it is certain that ne must and viii dc 50 If
an honest man. These facts should be known
and acknowledged by every man. Scott Is an
qaesti0nabiy III taror Of admitting a'ry nnD5er o.
Sace STATES from NetU HericO and Utah, of permit
tiny slavery and the slave trade to exist and
main there and in this district forever and that the
Fugitive law shall continue until the final day Of
retrhution Tire Uto votes fer him rotes tor
these n,easxres."
We published few days ago the attack made
upon Gen. Scott and the Wing Platform, by the
Boston Commonwealth the leading freesoil organ Of
New England.
Thus it will he seen that the leading ireesoilers
denouncc Gen Scott foI his unequivocal position
In regard to the Compromise, while his opponents
in the South declare he occupies doubtful and
unsafe attitude. But intelligent voters will not
be gulled by such an uniounded charge.
