Falls of the Missouri RiTer.

Gov. Stephens, in late letter, speaks of
the falls of the Missouri river, and express
es belief that the river is navigabe to
them. These falls are about thirty miles
distant from Fort Benton. Some of Gov.
Stephens party visited them. They repre-
sent them as presenting beautiful appear
ance. The river is about four hundred
yards wide, and the whole volume of this
river leaps some forty feet into an appar-
emily bottomless chasm. Long before it
is reached the spray is seen from the prai-
ries, ascending to the skies; and the noun
tans in the distance, on every side, give the
whole scene most magnificent appearance.
Very few white men have ever visited
these falls, but the time will come when they
will become objects of curiosity and thou
sands will find their way to them.

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate on the 23d tlt., Mr.. Dou-
glass from the Committee on Territories,
furnished bill dividing Nebraska into two
Territories, one to be called Nebraska, the
other Kansas, and providing a government
for both He said the attention Of the Com
mittee had been called to the fact that the
southern boundery of Nebraska was laid
down in the bill hitherto reported Of 40 deg.
80 min., would divide the Cherokee nation;
to avoid this the committee had determined
to recommend 81 as the southern boundary.
The people Of that country had two dele
gates here who urged that the country be
divided into two territories, and so far as
he had been able to consult with them, the
Missouri delegates satisfied the Committee
that it would be better to have two Terrific
ries; accordingly new bill was presented
of this kind; as the question was one in
which the general government could not act,
he said the gentleman from Ohio had made
a gross and unwarrantable attack upon the
State because small portion of its inhabi-
tants had thought proper to right them,
selves by force.
In the House of Representative, on the
Oath ult., Mr.. Oliver, Of Missouri, pro.
ceeded to speak on tonnage duties; he was
opposed TO the proposed system, because il
would work fundamental change in the pol.
icy of lhe government, and overthrow the
present system of improving rivers and har'
bors. He was at loss to conjecture what
strange infatuation in the mind of the Pre-.
sident had induced him TO recommend sucl
a policy. 1t was said that the present sys
TEN was unconstitutional, but the framer.
Of the constitution..did not think so. 1t wa,
reserved for the Senator from Illinois anC
the gifted President to pronounce unconsti
tutional what the trainers Of the constitution

I37 1t being currently reported that the
Antics had agreed to support Mr.. Worries
(Bentonite) for Congress, in the Platte
district, with the understanding that the
Bentonites were TO vote for Atchison men
for the Legislature, the Savannah Sentinel,
an influential Benton paper Of that district,
thus meets this report which must be cold
comfort indeed to those Antics who may
have tied themselves to Worries. The SEN
tinel says
The charge that the friends of Colonel
Benton have sold him for the poor conside-
ration of Congressman, or for any other
in this district is unquallifiedly false. II
the "rottens" have counted on such an ar
rangement in supporting Mr.. Worries, we
again say, most emphatically, they have
counted "without their host" No true
Democrat will ever vote for any of their
sixth or kin" for the legislature, nor will
they support any man whose position is at
all doubtful, or who is not unquallifedly and

Washington is lively. The speeches of
Gen. Foote in the dining hall of he National
Hotel, and Nike Walsh in the hall of the
House Of Representatives have stirred the
face of the "great deep" and there is every
probability that ''mire and dirt" will soon
cast up extensively. The New York Her
aid says that Mikes speech was full Of "bit-
ter invectives against the free soiers in the
Cabinet, and of keen, playful Satire against
President Pierce. Many of his illusions
and phrases-which smacked of Tammany
Hall and the Bowery-werc received with
roars of laughter" Mike being called on
10 explain the difference between the ''hard
shells" and "soft shells Of New York. said
it was that between an honest man and a
rogue. Mr.. Smith Of Alabama, had pas
sage at arms with Mike. Francis B. CUT
ting took the floor and some of his remarks
called out Gerrit Smith, and quite scene
occurred. A correspondent of The Herald
says there is not the slightest regard for the
ordinary decorum Of the House exhibited
the gavel Of the chair seems only to assist
in the piaudits.'
Gov. Foote's speech is characterized as
very innarnmatoTy and severe" 4 cor
respondent of the n. Y. Tribune says,
"Foote spoke sneeringly Of the President,
and was as bitter as gall upon D.yis and
Cushing" He rrofessed TO hold Cushing
in the utmost contempt, and pronounced Da-
Wis defeated candidate foE Senator and
dead man. He prayed that the "once gen.
erous heart'' or the President might re
opened again, that he might not sleep in the
| Presidential Mansion as James the Second
in the Monarchical Palace of London. He
said .'the Nilmot Proviso IS not settled, it
will come up in the bill for the Nebraska
Territory during this session Of Congress.
dare to say that if the present course of
proceeding be carried on till 1856, the elcc-
tion will be carried on that question, and that
will be the death blow Of the confederacy."
The New York Herald says that Gen.
Cass has authorized his friends to say that
he Will not only vote for the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise as far as it interferes
with the Compromise cf 1850, which al
lows Southern Planters 20 60 at once with
their property into new territories, but will
