morning. The sun was shining with that

CONGRESS.
Senate.

Mr.. UNDERWOOD, from the Committee on
Claims, reported two resolutions in relation
to the memorial of James Robertson, first
that the memorial be rejected: and second,
in consideration that he had been here two
sessions of Congress, to enable him to re-
turn to his friends, and with the faint hope
that it would prevent Senators being an
noyed in future-that there be paid to Jas.
Robertson out of the contingent fund of the
Senate the sum of one hundred and fifty
dollars provided that the acceptance of it
by him be considered in full of al demands
which he may conceive that he has against
this body.
The first resolution that the prayer of the
memorial be rejected was passed without OBJ
lection.
Mr. WALKER opposed the second resolu-
ton on the ground that the passage of it
would not be likely to prevent annoyance
from the claimant; that if Senators wished
to pay him money for that purpose, they
could do so out Of their own pockets; that
he vas not annoyed by Robertson, and that
others need not be.
Mr. BUTLER agreed with the Senator from
Wisconsin, and said that-he thought it would
not have the effect desired; that it would
be well to give him an Office, but perhaps
nothing less than Cabinet appointment
would satisfy him.
Mr. DOUGLAS thought that the Corpora
ton of Washington were in duty bound to
take care of such men.
The resolution was laid on the table by o
vete of % to 81
On motion of Mr.. HUNTER the warehous-
ing bill was taken up, and after Mr.. WELLER
had made few remarks in opposition to
the bill it was postponed till tomorrow.
At one o'clock the bill for the reorganiza-
ton of the Navy, was taken up and consid-
cred.

Mr.. HALL, from the committee on public
lands, reported q bill granting public lands
to certain volunteers in the territory of
Oregon, read twice and committed.
The House then resumed the considera-
ton of Senate bill amendatory to the
half dollar, quarter, dime and half dime,
reported from committee of ways and means
with sundry amendments.
Mr.. JOHNSON concluded his remarks in
opposition to the bill.
Mr.. SHELTON spoke in favor of the bill
but before concluding his remarks
Mr.. Houston moved to take up the bust
ness on the Speakers table, and then to go
into the Committee of the whole.
The motion was disagreed to by q vote
of 70 to SO.
The House then agreed to take up the
business on the Speakers table

Wood Gas.

We hear inquiries from every quarter for
clear, brilliant, and cheap gas. The people
say that they are anxious to have their
houses lit with gas, but are not willing to
pay an most exorbitant price for it, We
think We have been shown an invention,
which will remedy the evils complained of,
and will enable every man to light up every
room In his house at trifiing expense.
Last evening We stepped into Mr.. Eddy's
ewelry store, aud saw brilliant jet of
light from gas burner at the further end
of the show case, aud was told that the gas
which supplied the light was from wood.
Upon making inquiries into the manner in
which the gas was made we were conducted
into small Clubhouse, back of the store,
shown the stove in which the wood was
burnt, furnishing the gas, the retort, the
washer, and the regenerator-all very SIM
pie, and costing but little.
Mr.. Eddy informed us that the wood and
harcoal were the only materials used in
manufacturing the gas that the cost of it
vas comparatively nothing: that the gas
FORKS necessary for the lighting of city
Ike Washington could be erected at small
Expense; that he believed that the stoves
which are used for cooking and warming
the houses could furnish all the gas for
lighting the house.
Mr.. E. will be glad to explain the mode
of generating this gas to all scientific per-
sons who may entertain doubts in regard to
the materials used
To DR.. Mcconnell, of this city, we under
stand, must be given the honor of dis
covering this mode of generating this gas
from wood
If all that is said of this gas is true, and
We see no reason to doubt it, the introduc-
ion of it will be hailed as blessing by
thousands whose incomes are inadequate
now to pay the e1orbitant charges for light
ing their houses.

to get out of it, he made an adventurous
leap for the breast of the rock. But the
cradle being still pendent in the air, with
cut stay, fed back on the impulse of his
springs, and fearful to think, let him fall
between it and the landing place." ''Hor-
rible!'' '.most horrible !" was my natural
exclamation. But" continued my friend,
''keep ye your seat in the cradle till it be
firmly landed on the rock, and all will be

follow.
| thought of the young mans leap and
fall figured to myself the spot where he

he met the ground never more to rise. And

to the bottom. But on my ascent, though
l looked all the while upwards, was trem-
blingly alive to the fact, that was getting
into higher danger. 1 held the spread cords
as with the grip of death, never moving nv
eyes from the blackened creaking main rope.
''There! there it goes!" gasped the words:
for did l not first see one ply Of the triple
twisted line snap asunder as it happened to
touch a pointed piece of granite? And
when once cut and liberated, did the ply not
untwist and curl away from its coils Did
l not see another ply Immediately follow in
the same manner, leaving my life to the last
brittle thread, which also began to grow at
tenuated, and to draw so fine, that it could
not long have borne its own weight? was
speechless: the world whirled round, be-
came sightless, and when within one short
foot Of being landed l fell Il fell into the
grasp of my friend, who, seeing me about
to tumble out Of the cradle from stupor,
opportunely snatched and swung me, cradle
and all, upon the rock. When strength re-
turned ran from the edge of the precipice,
still in the utmost trepidation, shaking fear
fully, and giving unintelligible utterance to
the agony of my awe-struck soul And if
my hair did not undergo an immediate
change of color, was not without such an
apprehension: for certainly it stood on end
during my ascent from the floor of the
Fairy's Palace.

A Baltimore Discussion.

Our well-conducted contemporary, the Bal
timore Argus, abiding to the course pur-
sued by German paper in that city, of its
own party, says:
"We think that those who come among
US to be citizens should hold themselves as
americans, and be satisfied with the assur-
ance that they enjoyed the rights and priv
.eges of citizens, and not desire to keep up
any other distinctive appellation. We hold
q naturalized citizen in the same estimation
that we do our native born. We would have
no difference, and therefore we are opposed
to anything calculated to keep up distinc-
ton or produce separation and prejudice
among those who should feel as one people,
To keep up distinctions and get ancient
countrymen arrayed in sectional strife as
an independent class, we think injudicious
and likely to prove highly injurious instead
of beneficial
