To this trade you can safely add 200, 600 tons
per annum, which not only pays you $1,000 as
rental, but adds this tonnage to the traffic upon
your road, thus swelling up its receipts to a much
larger dividend than IL per cent For it must be
borne in mind that we are the proprietors of both
the coal mines and lateral roads, and therefore
upon the most enormous increase OF your bust
mess your outlay will be very little, because all
your large expenditures will have been made by
the close of 1853, and alphabetically completed, viz
your railroads, tunnels, houses, sawmills, &c
Within The year 1854 your tunnels will have cut

Prayer by the Rev. Mr.. GALLAHsR.
The Clerk in the act of commencing the
reading of the journal of yesterday, when
MIR. RICHARDSON raised the question that this

Of members present.
The SPEAKER read the rule prescribing his
duties in part that che shall take the chair every
day precisely at the hour to which the House shall
nave adjourned on the preceding day; he shall
Immediately call the members to order; pnd, on
the appearance of q quorum, shall cause the jour
nal of the preceding day to be read" Having
counted the House. he reported that there were
only ninety-two gentlemen present-not quo.
rum-and raid that the rule was peremptory.
On motion OF Mr. RICHARDSON there was a
call of the House, and one hundred and twenty.
nine members answered to their names.
The SPEAKER ordered the doors to be closed
for the purpose of hearing excuses for absent
On motion Of Mr.. STEPHENS, Of Georgia, all

ADJOURNMENT CONGRESS-.
Mr.. WHITE, of kentucky, asked leave to offer
the iolio~in joint resolution, which was read for
information:
Resolved, That the Senate and House Of Repre-
scntatives stand adjourned until the frat Monday
of February next.
Objection was made to its introduction.
REPoRTIso--rHE PUBLICATION OF SPEECHES NOT
DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE.
Resolved, That the reporters of the Housc be di
rccted hereafter no; to report In the Daily Globe
part Of the proceedings Of the House, speeches
not made in the House, unless by leave Of the
House. He said that this related to officers Of the
House, and concerned the members. ny the DAILY
Globe Of yesterday 1t appeared that the gentleman
from Maine (Nlr. SMART) offered u resolution rea-
tive to the capture and copfiscatiop, by the Span
sh authorities of two vessels, the Georgiapa and
the Susan Loud. After the resolution was offered
the report says that the gentleman made a speech
embracing nearly four columns of that paper-and
then aide, "the question was then taken and the
resolution adopted" He meant no personal un.
kindness when he asserted that not one word OF
this published speech was made on this floor
Therefore, there was opportunity 10 make a
reply to it. He claimed the right tointroduce this
resolution as question of privilege.
The SPEAKER sad this depended upon the re-
lation OF the House to the reporters.
Mr.. STANLY replied, the reporters of the Globt
are recognized officers of the House. Last year
the House gavc them extra compensation. They
sit within the bar oil the Hall. The Globe is frank
ed and sent out as public document, and the pro-
cecdings paid for by the column.
The SPEAKER said the resolution could be re.
ceived only by unanimous consent.

THE TEHUANTEPEC TREATY.
The New York Herald saws:

strong point in the appeal of Ars!a, as we
are informed, is, that the right conceded 10
Mexico to ratify the Garay treaty involves, ne
cessarily, the RIG hit TO reject it-that the treaty
was submitted to the alternative of rejection, in
being submitted for ratification and that Next
co violates no compact, no International obi
CATION, no individual rights, in rejecting the
treaty. He, therefore, pleads that the rejection
of the treaty-all parties interested having
submitted themselves to the risk-lawfuIy
puts an end TO the treaty, and the grant nvolv-
ed IN the treaty. and that our government, so
far from having the right to threaten war, has
no right 10 complain, on account of the decision
OF Mexico. We think it will puzzle Mr.. Web
ster to overcome this little point of law. But
Arlsta clinches the argumant, by declaring
that the popular sentiment of Mexico is unani.
nous against the Garay grant, and that it can
not be admitted, even at the hazard of another
rupture with the United States,
This is the strongest case yet made out in
favor of the action which the Congress thought
proper TO take with regard 10 the treaty.
Yet, it may have been, that the whole mat
ter was put into this shape with the express
understanding that it should be definitely SET
tied in this manner. 1t appears to us to resem-
BILE the case ola release in law, where person
gives up an instrument, with the understand.
ing that it shall be reconve yed to him.
We sincerely hope that this whole matter
may be settled without an appeal to arms
Notwithstanding the inveterate hatred enter
tanned towards us by the whole population of
Mexico, we feel the deepest compassion for the
helpless condition of that Republic. Besides,
we dread the accession of any more territory,
as calculated to shake the foundations of the
Union.
