A porIen an OF this city has placed in cur hands

very cold, the thermometer standing at fifteen de-
gees, and there had been several hail and snow
storms. The Indians predict long and very severe

they assign for it are, the appearance of the fire

Of partaking too plentifnly Of buffalo meat, before

Mr.. Egloffstein the typographical engineer Of the
expedition, has made thorough survey OF the coun-
try lying around the encampment. The soil is rich
and fertile, well timbered and wa.ered and is admit
raby adapted for settlement and cultivation. There
are large quantities of stone in the bluffs suitable
either for building or fencing. Should the Pacific
Railroad be located through Nebraska, this magnif-
cent country will be speedily and thickly settled by

to induce them to go there and built up State than
the natural advantages which the face Of the coun
try presents. Immense numbers are now waiting to
go there, and have been deferred from doing so by
MoDypenny's threats, made at the instgation Of At

them out. All they ask is that all restrictions be re-
moved, and they will convert this wild expanse into

MILLEDGEvILLE, Nov. 49, 1858.
There have been strriDg times in she Sea4te to-
day. The sceGe was opened by Mr.. Singleton, 81
LnmE kin, friend Of Mr.. COBB, who offered r9,o
luton TO escnd the resolution heretofore adopted
20 into the election Of United States Senator today
and t. postpone the election for the remainder IL
the session. DIR. Stephens moved thai The Senate 10
sgIee TO the resolution, and upon that motion he
the proceedings Mr. sturgis moved TO lay the res u
ton of Mr.. Singleton upon the table. The Presi-
dent decided that this latter motion took pre-.
cadence Of the call for the previous question;
of the Chair, when the Senate by q vote OF fifty
to forty three refused to sustain the Chair Mr.
Clarke then moved that the Senate do proceed to
the hall Of the House OF Representatives for the p1r
pose OF going into the election of Senator, the hour
appointed by previous resolution for that election
having arrived. Here again the Pre- lent decided,
against all precedent, that this resolution took pre-
cedeDce Of the call for the previous question A
second appeal was taken from the decision of the
chair, and again the Senate refused TO sustain the
chair. The question now came up whetaer tne
Senate would second the call for the previous ques
ton. which was decided by yeas and nays ia the
affirmative. This Brought the Senate to a direct
vote upon agreeing to the resolution when the yeas
and nays were called and were yeas forty nine nay
forty iye So the resolution was agreed to- aud the
election OF United States Senator postponed for the
remainder OF the session.
An effort will doubtless be made in the morning
TO reconsider this portion OF the jour lal, bat 1t viii
hardly be successful. Great excitement prevailed ia
the Senate and the lobby throughout the struggle on
the resolution. A running fire was kept up on both
sides, divers and contradictory mott Dos were made
and every resource Of ingenuity was exhausted to
