u The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, Of Wednesday, Dec. 2sth, makes
the following illusions to the Free SOIL Members Of
the U, S. Senate:
''Ihe lone idea mem in the Senate, as they have
been Called Messrs. Seward Chase, and Sumner,
are among the most practical and useful members Of
the body, in the bushes OF general legislation. No
mans opinion is oitener in demand on the " hig
side than that OF Gov. Seward; and Messrs Chase
aud Sumner are impressng their mark upon the
country by originating measures Of great and perma-
nent Importance. Mr.. Chase, al the last session,
had the eminent distinction Of introducing the bill
for surveying the route OF the Pacific Railroad, and
al the last as well as al the present session. his
is connected with impoi tant in relation to
the public lands. Nj Sumner, at the first session
OF his service in the Senate, made constitutional
argument which is rapidly overurnng preccnceived
notions Of Northern and S uthern men in regard 10
the power OF Congress To pass fugitive Slave law.
Al the present session he has gwen notice of two
important measures, one OF which ! have already
called attention TO, aud the other now respectfully
commend TO the notice OF he public.
Resolved, That the Committee on the Post Office
and Post Roads be directed 10 consider the expedi-
ency Of providing for the convenience and security
OF renlances abroad in small sums, By authorizing
orders or drafts by Post Office on foreign Post
Offices with which it is in correspondence, consi-

over his own feelings has lately heen exhibited in
the church ofSi, Margaret's, Westminster. On
Tuesday week The curaIe Of the parish oiicaed in
the morning. il being the festival Of 81. Luke !;
whilst engaged in the SCI vice, his wife was seized
with the cholera, and died in the short space of
80 hours. On the following Sunday, the same gem
tleman preached funeral sermon over the rem inns
OF his wife, and for his text he following reuarka.
BIZ portion OF scripture, Ezekiel, XIV, Is 10 10 :
"Also the word Of the Lord came unto me, saying
Son Of man, behold take away from thee the de-
slfe Of thine eyes with stroke, yet neither shalt
thou mourn or weep, neither shalt Thy tears run
Forbear cry, make no mourning for The dead,
bind the tire ofthine hand upon thee, and put thy
sho upo" thy feet, and covernot Thy lips, and eat
not thy bread Of man
So spake unto the people in the morning and IN
the evening my wife died, and did in the morning
as was commanded, and the people SAID unto me.
w thou not tell us what these things are 10 us,
that thou doest so?'' From his text he breaches
amost impressive sermon; there scarcelya dry
eyein the church, and the only one who seemed
perfectly unmoved was the preacher himself, such

A PRooF OF THE BRUTALIzING INFLU.
ENcE OF SLAvERx.-We are compelled TO
chronicle the circumstance of very disgraceful,
yet sad scene, that'occurtd in one Of the prInci-
pal streets ofour town, on st Saturday aght. A
negro man, the property of Mr.. John Ash in pass.
ing down street, on his return home, was violently
assaulted by several young men, residents of our
place, with stones and other inplemt hts of mis-
chief After being pursued suue distance, with
out making any defence, the black man, driven
TO desperation from the repeated Injuries he had
received, suddenly halted, and picking up
stone, threw it at oneof his ASSISTANTS with such
force as TO cause death in few minutes.
So has ended the mortal career of John Winter
Boweros. who has been. reared in our midst-and
has had the advantage of good moral Instruction
the example Of kind and pious relations and
friends, but unfortunately for the banefnl ~infiu-
ences ofvicous [institutions1 associations, he
has been hurried to his long home WiLliams-
