THE NATIONAL ERA, WASHINGTON D. c, JANUARY 10, 1854

THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE-A cor.
respondent of the New York Tribune, in his
letter of the lo;h instant, says:
Mr.. Atchison is known TO be rather South
ern IN his feelings, and his hatred of Colonel
Benton is SO thorough that he is shrewdly sus-
pected OF opposition to the central route on ac-
count OF the interest felt in it by his colleague.
There Can be very little sympathy between the
great majority OF the people Of Missouri and
senator Atchlson, and it is probably true, as |
have heard suggested, that, in the event of his
failure to be returned in the Senate, he will
remove to Texas"
We know nothing of the grounds on which
this conjecture is based; but we are sure that
the pro slavery sentiments and actions Of Mr.
Atchison will never be sustained by tie people

DWELLING.

We would not have any enc understand, by
the remarks in yesterdays paper, introducing
the account Of the Soule dnels, that we consider
the question OF the morality Of daelling at all
q doubtful ono. The practice is barbarous,
wrong, and absurd. This is the prevailing
sentiment of Christendom, whatever code the
men of honor" may devise for themselves.
Who thinks better Of any man for having
fought duel Was it necessary to attest the
challenge would his reputation for heroism
have suffered? What could he prove by stand
ing mp to be shot at ? Not the possession CT
patriotism, virtue, integrity, truth, honor-for
Burr, who was destitute of all these, stood on
the same level, exposed, as he believed, to the
ed man gain? Did he disarm prejudice, win
public confidence, compel belief in the purity
of his character He killed his man, and be-
came wandering Cain-thc blood Of the muir
dered upon his soul, hated and abhorred by
the country, one Of whose greatest and best
mon he had slain.
All duels are as sensolcss, if not SO afro
cious, and SO deplcrabIe in their consc quences
as that.
member of Congress applies rude cpl
thot to brother member. Rctraction or ex-
PLANTATION is demanded, and refused. The Of
Tended member goes to the field of honor, to
prove the injustice of the epithet, by giving
the offending member chance to shoot him !
Cogent logic Excellent sense Suppose the
charge be that hc is no gentleman, or that he
is guilty of an untruth, does he prove that he
is gentleman, and that he is truthful, by re-
ceiving the contents of his adversary's pistol
in his stomach, or by lodging the contents of
his in his adversary's liver? He may do both,
and yet be liar and blackguard; for liars
and blackguards have fought duelS, and es-
capped unhurt.
AS the world grows more sensible, this prac-
tice loses ground as much On account Of its
absurdlty as wickedncss. In the earlier part
OF this century, it was az prevalent at the
North as it has since been in the South, but it
has almost disappeared thence, before the ed
vance OF a higher and more humanized form
of civilization. In the South it still maintains
some ground but it is evidently on the decline
There are fewer duels in Washington than
formerly.

Friends are always on the alert, with Pick

THE CATASTROPHE OF THE STEAMER SAN
FRANCISCO.

We record with emotions Of sorrow the ter
ribly truthful information that has reached us
respecting the fate OF thu Inflated vessel and
it's unfortunate multitude Of passengers; and
yet not without a feeling Of deepest gratitude
for tho dciverance Of the many who escaped
from the awful perils that for a time seemed 50
inevitably before tbord.
The ship Three Bells arrived at New York
Yesterday evening, with one hundred and sixty
persons saved from the San Francisco, which
foundored at sea On the 9Th Of January.
They include about enc hundred Off els and
soldiers, and most Of the crew Of The ilI-fated
steamer A number Ct other passengers were
taken off the sinking ship by the barqre Kilby,
bound for Boston, and many by the ship Ant
arctic, bound for Liverpool.
Most of the cabin passengers, together with
as many soldiers as il was deemed prudent for
her to take, numbering in all about enc hun
dred persons, are on board tho ba.quc Rilby.
She has probably gone to Bermuda, having
parted company with the steamer during
gale on the night Of the 29;h December, four
days before the Three Bells left The ship

In the gale of the 331 December the San
Francisco braached to twice, and was much
disabled On the "a IN ali her spars and sails
were blown away. At ono o'clock in the
morning of the 25.h the engine stopped in
consequence of the breaking Of the piston-rod,
and left tho vessel totally unmanageable, the
sea at the time striking her tremendous blows
under the guards, tearing up the planking fore
aud aft on both sides, and causing the ship to
leak badly. The troops were then organized
into bailing parties At nine o'clock on the
25;h heavy sea struck the steamer amidships,
carrying away both smoke stacks, all the up
per saloon, stayibg the quarter deck, and wash
ing overheard e large number Of persons, be-
sides killing three cf the ships crew. On the
2Sth the barque Kilhy was spoken, and laid
by the steamer until three O'Clock in the after
noon Of the 29th, when number Of the pas
scngers were transferred to the bayque, which
let go her bawser ut ten O'clock at night, and
nothing has since been heard Of her. The

Senate, January 10, 1854.
The Senate was not in session to- day.

House of Representatives., jan 10, 1854
After the Journal had been read, the House
proceeded to the consideration of private bills
On the Speakers table, this being the day set
apart for that purpose when
Mr.. Drum, by permission, proposed resolu-
ton, to the effect that the Secretary of the
Navy be instructed to cause three vessels to be
always in readincss--one ut Boston, one at New
York and one at Norfolk, for the purpose of
affording relief to vessels in distress But its
present consideration being objected to, it was
laid on the table, to take its regular course.
Tho committees were then called upon for
reports when several of an unimportant char
acter were presented.
Mr. Latham, of California, from the Com
mittee on Public Lands, reported the Senate
bill authorizing the extension Of the period of
time for which the California Land Title Com
mission was organized, and, by permission, ex-
planned the necessity of the prompt action of
Congress upon this measure as the least delay
would cause the present commission to expire
before new commission could be forwarded
The bill was accordingly passed
MIR. Cobb, of Alabama, from the Committee
on Public Lands, reported back the Homestead
bill, with substitute therefor, and moved that
the bill and report be referred to the Commit
tee of Ways and Means, and printed; and it
was so ordered
Mr.. Cutting, from the Committee on the Ju-
dietary, reported a bill to secure the rights of
citizenship to the children of citizens BORN out
Of the United States. Mr.. Cutting explained
that, by the common law, children so born
we,e aliens; that England, with prudent fore
sight, had long ago enacted a law of the char
acter of that now proposed, and had in 1913
even extended this to children of the second
generation, and recently the right had been
guaranteed to the children of English mothers,
whose fathers were not English The policy
of Franz he stated. was, in some particulars
of the same character. By an act of 1902
statute passed by Congress made citizens of all
children born abroad prior to that time, but
did not provide for those to be born after that
time. -
MIR. Cutting argued at length, and very ably,
in support Of the proposed bill
Mr.. Fuller, of Maine, responded, tn anking
the honorable member from New York, and
hoping the bill might be at once considered
