The MISSISSIPPI AND IRIS TRIBUTARIES. st
Louis Cbiaian Adrocate, OF a late date, contains
highly interesting article on the !. Topography and
lily drology' Of the Mississippi Valley, accompanied
by table, exhibiting the Mississippi and its numer-
GUS tributaries. The authorwas unable to ascertain
precisely the distance TO which each stream was
nayigable but he has satisfied himself that tho
aggregate exceeds twenty thousand miles. From
this fact. idea may be formed Of the vast in
uence which this stream and its tributaries are to
exert upon the commerce and industry Of the North
American continent. 1t will be seen from the rcca
pitulation, which we suhoin. that the total length
Of the Great River" with all its parts, is 81 900
miles -

Congressional Matters.

We have as yet given readers nothing Iemn
Congress- for very good and simple reason, that nos
thing has ransp;red worthy of note. We shall Ger.
ainly give every thing of importance will net
cumbcr our columns with those idle vapoiings which
occupy much Of the time and space of the proceed
ngs. The Washington correspondent of the Southern
Standard under date of 10th nst gives the latest
news from that body from which we copy as follows
Legislation had been defeated in both Houses
of Congress, for the last two or three days, by
the announcement, on Wednesday, Of the death
Of the late Hon. and Rev. Orrin Fowler, Of Mas
sachusetts, and, on Thursday, of that of bis col
league, the late Hou. Benz. Thompson. The
custom is to drop all business on such occasions,
without reference to its Importance, and to ad
journ over for the day. This custom is nui-
sance. These gentlemen died early in the recess.
The ceremony of adjourning over on account of
their death only served to idle day. Thousands
of honest creditors of the Government many of
whom arc near starvation from unreasonable de-
lays on the part of the legislature of the fedora
ton, are made to suffer in carrying into effect
this worse than useless ceremony. Not one.
member in ten cared pinch Of snuff whether
Messrs Fowler and Thompson be dead or alive.
1t is being said that the country is indebted
to the Hon. Pierre Soule, of Louisiana, for the
efforts of the administration of Mr. Polk to ac-
quire Cuba by purchase. That gentleman was
in Spain while Polk was in Office, and on con-
versing with Spanish officials on the subject, he
became convinced that such an offer as was sub
sequently made, might prove effective. Though
the result proves that his calculations were
wrong, the country is surely indebted to him for
a step in the career of its diplomacy, which, in
time, will be of vast national benefit
The dispatches received by the Fulto,, doubt
less relates to the American merchant ship, cap
tain and crew, (of the Lady Suffolk who are
held prisoners in Havana at this time for partici-
patton in the slave trade, or, rather under suspi-
cion of being so engaged. So they are of no
particular national Importance.
Relics Of defunct Democratic age arc already
appearing in Washington. They come to effect
general restoration of CT diuant of1ice.holdcrs.
These gentlemen are busiy engaged in parading
their wounds before the Democratic members.
Poor old soldiers.th meet with little sympa-
thy; however, according to their representations,
no man is entitled to be quartered on the ma
tions treasury, unless he has had the good for
tune to have been well nigh surfeited with 'pap"
at the national expense in years gone by.
There seems to be a great indisposition on
the part of the members to 60 to work on le-
gitimate business. The Wings are waiting the
movements of the Democrats, who are response
Bile for the business of the session. while the lat
ter are apparently as yet indisposed to take the

But whilst this State hassgiven its support,
with remarkable unanimity, to the candidates Of
the Democratic party for the highest honors of
the American Republic sand listened to the pied
gcs which that party has given to protect the
Southern portion of the Confederacy in the en-
ployment Of all its rights, to which our State
has been so long and so ardently attached prin
ciples-by which the triumph was achieved over
the doctrines Of consolidation, and which mark
the administrations of Jefferson, Madison, and
Monroe, as the halcyon days Of the Republic; it is
only by the revival Of these principles and their
active influence in the control Of party .organi
zation, that security can be given to individual
liberty through the separate energies Of distinct
governments the gcneralinterests preserved from
the injustice of sectional legislation, and our do
mcstic concerns fortified against the nvasions Of
federal authority.
Heving thus briefly expressed my views upon
those topics to which it seemed proper to advert
on the present occasion, now invoke the bless
ings of the Almighty upon the present and flu
ture action of the coordinate branches Of our 60

every thing may work well together, to perpetu-
ate the many advantages and blessings, which

INGENIOUS EypEDIENT.-In the year 1902, the
female part Of the population ofToulon, in France,
declared themselves in state of insurccton.-
They were at first laughed at, and their threats
treated with contempt; but when they proceed
ed to acts of violence, it was found necessary to
disperse them. Some regiments of troops were
ordered out for that purpose; but the hostile
manmuvres of the military appeared to make no
impression on this extraordinary assemblage of
Amazons. The municipal authorities were re-
luctant to have recourse to sangunary measures
in order to quell the nsuTecton, and various ex-
pedients to intimidate the fair rebels, were resort
cd to in vain. At last the Procurator Syndic
devised method which was attended with COM
plete success. He ordered the fire engines to be
brought out and filled with water, mixed with a
g,tantum suficit of soot When all was ready
for the conflict, they were carried in front of the
enemy, and the smutty contents of the artillery
were vigorously discharged into the thckest Of
their ranks. The phalanx was broken; the pet

wednesday Morning, November H. 1852
The appearance of general market has changed
somewhat since review of Saturday morning there
having been less acvity in departments and
in Others and there has been some change in prices
The large business in Cotton that reported last week
seems in measure to have exhausted the demand and
with later Of unfayorabe character from Europe
We have now but moderate business to notice in that
staple Tobacco has been tagnant Sugar and Moasses
have been active but at lower prices Flour and Corn
larger business has been DONE the former at Arm but
the latter at lower rates Provisions generally have been
frmer but without much animation. Coffee has been
rather active at full prices Freghts have been firm
the advance noticed in last review and the Exchange
Market has presented rather better appearance. We
yesterday morning published later advices from Europe
by the Atlantic the dates from Liverpool being up
3D. instant They represent declining Cotton Market at
Liverpool since the departure of the Canada, with
moderate demand The sales of the three business days
preceding the departure the Atlantic are stated at

the preceding day state the decline at ia nearly all
descriptions and quote only inside figures Specu-

were estimated at only 5000 bales
Our weather has been quite cool during the past four
days, and yesterday was raw, drizzling day.
C0TT0N-We left the Cotton Market, at the close Of
our last weekly review, with firm appearance after
weeks business of uncommon magnitude at advancing
rates On Saturday langud appearance prevailed and
the sales of the day limited to $500 bales prices
however remaining full. On Monday morning there was
more animation, but the demand checked by the
ceipt of the Atanc's accounts which published in
the evening papers of that day. and the substance OF
