Conversational.

SENATE Washington, Jan. 24M. The bill to
organize the Territory of Nebraska was taken
up and made the special order for next Monday.
The French Spoliation Bill was taken up and
made the special order for Monday, Feb. g.
Several private bills were considered and
passed.
| After the consideration of executive business
resolution was submitted by Mr.. Mason, that
the Senate adjourn over until Thursday, for the
purpose of enabling the members of that body
to attend the funeral of Mr. Bodisco. The re-
ground that to adjourn over for that avowed OBJ
ject would be setting precedent which would
lead to further encroachments upon the legisla-
| tive time of the body hereafter; and the yeas
| and nays being ordered upon it, Mr.. Mason
withdrew it, saying that such q mark of respect
should be voluntary, or not given at all, and
that he was unwilling to have it matter of con-
troversy
Mr.. Weller then moved that when the Senate
adjourn, it be to meet on Thursday next, which
was agreed to.
The Senate then went into executive session
| again, and, after some time, adjourned.
House OF REPREsENTATIvEs.-AIr Cobb, from
the Committee on Public Lands reported a bill
for grants of land to the State of Alabama for
sundry railroads. which was committed to the
Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union. Mr.. Upham, from the Committee on the
Postoffce and Post Roads, reported bill to
amend the act by which the rates of postage
were reduced; which was also committed to the
Committee of the Whole. Mr.. Upham also re-
ported bill extending the franking privilege
to the Superintendent of the Coast Survey !;
which was passed. Mr.. Hamilton reported,
from the Committee on the District of Columbia,
joint resolution for continuing the works at the
Washington aqueduct; which was referred to
the Committee of the Whole on the state of the
Union. Mr.. Bissell, from the Committee on
Military Affairs reported back the Senate bill
for comforting the title of lieutenant general by
brevet for eminent services which was referred
to the Committee of the Whole on the state of
the Union. After committing several private
bills, the House resolved itself into Committee
of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr..
Oliver opposed the recommendation of the Pres
ident in relation to the tonnage duties. Mr..
Maxwell followed with an able speech on be-
half of the policy hitherto pursued in relation to
making grants Of land for railroad purposes
Mr.. Etheridge obtained the floor, when the COM
mittee rose. A message was received from the
President, transmitting report and books re-
lative to the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 ;
which was referred to the Joint Committee on
the Library. Mr.. Bayly, of Virginia, moved
that when the House adjourn, it adjourn till
Thursday. Mr.. Benton delivered an appro-
pirate eulogy on Mr.. Bodisco; and, after COM
hitting sundry private bills, the House adj
iourned,

Survey of BAYOU Lafourche.

We have already apprized our readers, tina
one Of our delegation to the Lower House of thu
General Assembly, the Hon. j. s. WILLIAMS
has, with commendable zeal, already introduced
joint resolution in the Legislature, authori
zing the State Engineer to employ special as
sistant to make topographic and Photographic
survey of our long neglected Bayou. 1t wal
with no ordinary degree of pleasure that w
were informed yesterday morning, by Col. A
S. PHELPS, that the resolution has passed botl
branches Of the Legislature, and now only
awaits the signature Of the Governor to give il
the force of law.
The Chief Engineer of the State, Geo. W
Morse, Esq, knowing full well that his excel
lency, Gov Hebert will not fail in placing his
signature to the resolution, has taken time by
the forelock, and named as his special deputy
Col. A. S. Phelps, to perform the duties called
for in the resolution. From Col. Phelps long
and intimate knowledge of the Lafourche, We
feel fully assured, that the information that will
be laid before the Engineers department will
afford ample and reliable data on which to base
an appropriation co-equal to the Importance Of
the undertaking.
From our earliest recollection, every thing has
been advanced by our representatives to the
Legislature, to awake it to the Importance OF
doing something towards reliaving our people
from the disastrous overfows to which we are
yearly subjected; but deaf ear has always
been turned to their demand. We now feel as
ssured that Lafourche will at last be made to
feel the benefits to be derived from the strong
arm of the States support. 1t is well that it
is so, for our people could not have resisted
much longer the yearly increase Of the waters
above the level of their rich and luxurient fields
of cane, paying into the Golfers of the State a
much larger portion of the taxes assessed for
the support of the State Government, than
twenty parishes situated in other parts of the
State, entirely free from the disastrous floods Of
the Mississippi. We say that it is no more than
an act of reciprocity on parishes having no le-
wees to burden their people with extra taxation,
to come to the rescue of the several riparian
parishes, which together with the City of New
Orleans, pay nearly three fourths of the tax
levied for the support Of the State Govern
ment. 5

Later from Santa Fe.

LOUISVILLE, January GA ,elegraphic

IMPROVEMENT IN THE CRY or WAsHINGToN.-
During the past year there were erected in
Washington city, $50 houses, % shops, and 81
additions. OF the houses, ZIG were Of brick,
and $40 of wood. The total number Of dwell
ings now in the city is 8,265. The streets Of
the city were considerably improved during the
year, the number Of running feet Of brick laid
being 17,779. Mr.. John Sassford, in commu-
nicating these facts, to the 1ntelligencer, says:
In the city are forty eight places Of worship,
viz: Ten for Methodist and Methodist Protes-
tants, Presbyterians seven, Episcopalian six,
Baptists five, Roman Catholic FIVE, Lutheran
two, Friends, Unitarians, Congregational, and
Swedenborgian one each, and also nine for

SACRED CoNcERT.-The usic-loving portion
Of the citizens Of our neighboring town Houma,
asFell as the people Of the parish Of Terrebonne,
are shortly to be favored with an opportunity
Of listening to the concord of sweet sounds, to
come off at the Catholic Church of that place
on Thursday, the 18th instant. The concert
has been projected and gotten up by that talented
musician, DIR. G. H. Gutenberg, long and
favorablyr know in this community for his great
proficiency in the art of Music; and better
leader, it is almost needless to say, could not
have been selected, As performer on the
piano DR.. G. has no superior in this section of
Louisiana; and as theoretic musician he stands
second only to few in this country. The
doctor has secured the willing services of q
large number Of able amateurs, male and female,
both Of this parish and the parish Of Terrebonne,
whose names, were we permitted to give them,
would ensure an immense assemblage on the &C.
casiOn. arf .e $
Our Houma and Terrebonne friends have ever
been foremost in extending support to enter:
tainments of this kind, and we feel assured that
our citizens will now reciprocate the fayor-hy
attending the first call that has been directed to
their generous and benevolent natures, by at
tending in . respectable delegation con-
cert On the 18th instant. .

BUSINESS AT WAKEMAN & SMITH's-This now
favorite emporium of fashion, liberal in its pat
ronage to the Minerva, is almost hourly anc
daily crowded with eager customers from the
surrounding country. Many persons come, liv.
ing at distances varying from thirty to forty
miles, who previous to this time, had confined
their dealings to New Orleans, have from expe-
rience, been convinced that they can do much
better by patronizing this establishment. In
fact, the greatly reduced prices at which they
are offering their goods, has had tendency to
nearly double their sales, and although their
percentage is much less, their profits have been
greatly increased, by large sales and liberal
system Of advertising. There's nothing like
keeping the people posted up in what you have
to sell, and when one dollar is spent in this way,
it returns ten-fold reward. But we are diver
ging. Our intention was to call attention to a
new assortment Of goods just received direct
from New York and Boston. For the kind, quail
ity and price, just pop in--no intrusion We can
assure you-and our friend Smith, ever eager
and willingly disposed to accommodate and
show you every thing that is new or fashionable,
will attend to your most minute demands Here,
ladies may provide themselves
With slken coats and caps, and golden rings
With ruffs, and cuffs and farthingales and things;
With scars, and fans and double change of bravery,
And amber bracelets, beads, and all this knavery.

TURKISH SUCCESSES AND Losses.
The Turks had attacked the Russian camp

The Caloric Ship Ericsson.

have much pleasure in assuring you that
there is not the slightest cause for the doubt
you express in relation to this enterprise. The
new engines are completed, and have been al
work for several days, their operation proving
conclusively, that the practical difficulties which
attended the first arrangement have all been
overcome. The new engines are,much reduced
in size, whilst their principle Of action is the
same as before, with this exception only, that
condensed atmospheric air, is employed in place
Of the ordinary atmospheric, for producing the
motive power. This modification admits Of an
increase Of power, limited only by the capability
Of retaining the pressure in the machine. Some
difficulty has been experienced in this respect,
and it is this, which has caused some delay re-
Gently. The obstacle, is, however, nearly re-
moved, and the public will shortly have an OPP
portunity of judging by practical evidence Of
the merits of the Caloric ship, am gentle
