Congress.

Congress is still busily engaged doing
nothing. we might almost say. as the in
tcrminable discussions ofsome ofthe bills
before it occupies nearly the whole time.
Bills Of minor Importance are, however,
occasionally passed. -. '... r.. .<-
In the Senate. the bill authorizing the
construction Of six new steam fripa,es
has been passed, together with some 9TH
crs; but the principal business has been
the discussion Of The Nebraska and other
bills. ..... Mi. ..... ........., .........-E
A Committee Of Conference has been
appointed TO adjust the difference between
the two Houses on the bill for the relief
ofthe sufferers by the San Francisco. q
GThe House was not in session on Sa-
turday the 25th ult., to allow the mem.
bers to attend the funeral of General
Armstrong. The Senate bill for the build
ing of six new steam frigates, was refer
red to the Committee of the Whole on
the State of the Union. The Secretary
Of the Navy was instructed to inform the
House how many, and which of the ocean
steamers were suitable to be converted
into war steamers. A great portion Of
the time Of the House has been occupied
with the Nebraska bill, the Homestead
bill. and number of bills donating lands
for innumerable objects. 1t seems to be
the policy of Congress to squander the
public lands.

sent TO this station a Preacher. who avows
the sentiments OF Abolltionism. This

Preacher goes farther, and says that the
NJ. E. Church should be upheld aud sup

other church, because the ultimate objec,
OF that Church is the ex,irpation Of slavery
He also declares that the laws Of Virginia
are of such damning character as to
slavery that it will be the cause of the
eternal damnation of thousands of mas
tiers and slaves in the world to come.

shocking AGaIr.

One OF the most unhappy circumstances
which hasever come TO our notice, occur
rcd on Bonds creek, in Richie county on
the evening of Tuesday, the 18th inst.
which resulted in the death Of man by the
the name OF John S. Millhone by the hand
Of his own fatller-in-law. 1t was brought
about by family difficulty, the facts of
which, rs near as we can obtain them,
are aS fUltJ
Some time since. ar. Mii!hone, who is
married 10 dau Shter of MIR. Richard
Ankrum. 0y whom I've WAS killed. went 10
the east to purchase goods, nd while
there cOurted a woman and promised TO
marry her. After his return home, the
woman wrote to him pressing the fulfill
ment Of his promise which letter, com
ing into his wife's possession. caused her
to leave his house, with her children, and
remove TO the home Of her father. This
greatly exnSperated Millhone, who swore
vengeance against his wife and her moth
er, which he several times endeavored 10
execute. On one occasion, ~ short time
before his death, he assaulted and beat
Mrs. Ankrum. his mother.in-law, and in
jured her so rs tO contine her to her bed
On the evening OF his death, he went 10
the house of Mr.. Ankrum, and while there
"a quarrel was raised between himself and
his wife, when he struck her to the floor
with his fist, and otherwise misused her.
Mr.. Ankrum then interfered, and several
blows were interchanged, which ended in
MI. Ankrnm's sIabbing MillhOne to the
heart, causing death almost Instantly.
coroner jury was called. which return
ed a verdict Of "justiiabIe homicide"
On the following day, Mr.. Ankrum deliv-
cred himself up to the authorities, and
was released on bail, TO appear be-
lore an examining court. to be held III
Harrisville. ON Wednesday last. The de-
ciSion of the court has not at this time been

From Richmond,

Wcpubish to day an interesting letter
from Mr.. Moore. one Of our Delegates at
Richmond. by which it will be seen that IA
charter for railroad from the PcnnSyl-
van:u line to the Ohio river, in Jackson
county, Vta Harrison county, has been
gran ed by the Legislature and also. that
the restrictions upon the charter Of the
Northwestern Railroad have been re.
removed.
What the prospects for the making OF
this new road are, we cannot tell, rs it is
rather IL new project to MS. The only
foreign assistance that it can command,
50 far as we can see, is from Philadel-
phia and the Pennsylvania Central Rail-
road. AS it is probably the objrct Of the
friends Of the work 10 continue it to an
intersection with that road, it is possible
that it may be constructed at an early day
1t would certainly be a very important
acquisition to the Central road and 10
Philadelphia.
We regret that Mr. Moore dill not give
the particulars in regard to the removal
Of the restrictions from the Northwestern
Railroad. II we are correctly informed
of the terms upon which these restrictions
are removed. they are not as favorable as
they should have been, or indeed, rs we
expected. These terms, we are told
give the Northwestern Railroad Company
the privilege Of placing their road in
operation in September, 1855, and run
ming cars for three years, when if the
double track on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad is not completed 10 Wheeling.
they must be stopped. This we consider
by no means satisfactory. as it is suspec-
ted by many that the double track will
never be laid. AMI three years use OF a
railroad will hardly pay the expense OF
construction. We presume, however,
that if the cars once get started on the
road, they will be hard to stop.
