The programme of the present session O.
congress is published in the official organ. The
Washington Union gives notice that matters
are to be done up, SO far as southern members
can 60, to the entire satisfaction Of the presi-
dent. The Union says, "there will, however
be no southern opposition to the administration
every man in the house, from the south, will
stand up to every measure which the admins
ton is known to favor" The democratic mem
bers Of congress may be, for ought we know,
bound to obey every beck and call made by
president Pierce-they may have surrendered
to him even the righe to think for them-but
there are a few southern whig members who
acknowledge no such vile yassalage to any man,
and who will be found voting for measures cal
culated to benefit their country and constitu-
ents, instead Of obeying the commands of presi-
dent Pierce and his cabinet.
\ coemporary says whether this announce
ment has any connexion with the new articles
Of arar, which, according to the Richmond En-
quirer, are to be put IN force against those who
impiously incline to do their own thinking and
voting, we are not advised But if the univer-
sal democracy cannot surpass their late efforts
in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, New Jersey, Delaware, etc, we think
the sooner they get Pierce to think for them
the better and this, we suppose, is what the
Union means when it says the southern con-
gressmen will stand up to every measure which
the administration is known to favor For it
is unIeniable that a large portion of the dele
CATION is incapable of thinking Of any thing.

| OUTRAGEOUS AFFAIR.-A most brutal and
dastardly attemptat assassination was perpetra-
/ ted a few DAYS since, in Columbia county Ark,
near the Louisiana state line, the particulars Of
which are as follows: DR.. ". J. Burk, formerly
! a resident of this parish and well known to
many of our citizens has recently moved to a
new location in Columbia county, Ark, where
he is now living in an unfinished house. As
there is no chimney to the house, himself and
wife upon the evening Of the occurrence were
| thus seated gun was fred at Dir. Burke from
behind some bushes near the dwelling. The
shot, however, proving an Intellectual one, dr.
Burke Immediately rushed into the house and
having procured his double barrel gun, came
out and fred both barrels in tie direction from
which be supposed the murderous party to have
fired upon him. Upon this Mrs. Burke per-
ceiving the imminent danger in which her hus-
band was plfced, and thinking that her inter
position would prevent the concealed parties
from shooting again placed herself between
dr. Burke and the bushes from whence the first
shot had been fred While in this position
another rifle was fired from the bushes, the ball
of which entered one of Mrs Burke's shout
ders, passed through the back of her neck and
went out at the other shoulder. While DIR.
Burke was engaged in conveying his wounded
wife into the house, two or three discharges of
shot were fired at him but without effect, the
shot passing in at the door and lodging in the
opposite wall. Judging from the number and
character of the discharges there were probably
two or more persons concealed with the design
of basely assassinating dr.. Burke Suspicion
we learn, rests upon man named Briant with |
whom DIR. Burke had dihicultyjusst previously.
This suspicion is confirmed by the fact that
Briant has left since the occurrence of the
above event. His accessories still remain IN
discovered. Mrs. Burke, we are happy to learn
is pronounced out Of danger.

The London Morning Chronicle states that
the impression is rapidly gaining ground, that
the capture of Sebastopol, will not prove SO easy
or so bloodess an affair as was at rstsupposed.
It adds:
1T was our impression at the first, that lord
Raglan would have reduced Sebastopol by in
vesng IT, that he would rather have adopted
the more cautious plan Of compelling the Rus
SANS 70 surrender, than have hazarded an as
sault. We are still convinced that such was his
original design, and if has now been changed
INTO more vigorous but perlous mode of action
lord Raglan has been driven to this course bv
the difficulties Of his position and by the neces-
sites which ministerial hardness have forced
upon him. Upon the battle of Alma we will
make no remark at present. This much is
however, certain, that had the embarkaton been
determined on two months earlier, the Russians
would not have been able to entrench them
selves 50 formidably on the heights of Alma.
