CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, the Indian appro-
priation bill was considered for short time,
and was then set aside that message from
the President of the United States, returning
with his objections the bill granting ten mil
lions OF acres of the public land for the re-
lief of the INDECENT insane, might be received.
The message was read. On motion by Mr..
Hunter to print ten thousand extra copies of
the message, debate took place, in which
Messrs Hunter, Butler, Toombs, Douglas, Vel
Ter, and Bayard sustained the veto, and Messrs.
Foot Bell, Brown, Jones of Tennessee, and
Dixon opposed it. AT late hour, without
disposing Of the motion, the Senate adjourned.
The veto message will be found in another
column.
The House of Representatives were engaged,
in Committee Of the Whole on the state of the
Union, in the consideration Of the special or
der-namely, territorial business. The bill to
establish the Office of surveyorgeneral Of New
Mexico, to grant donations to actual settlers
therein, and for other purposes, was reported to
the House, but not finally acted upon before
the adjournment.
Washington sentinel., 1854-05-04

the message is pointed and explicit. The
citation from the Virginia act Of cession, and
the use made of 1t in the argument of the
message, give a good and sufficient founda-
ton for the belief that the President will veto
any act making wrongful disposition of the
public domain, unless the reservation with re-
gard to prudent proprietorship may come into
play. This is the pinch Of the hill, however,
and we are sorry that it was not overcome.
We understand the message as being hostile
to distribution of the public lands; we un-
derstand it as being hostile to the idea of Civ
ing away the public lands without money and
without price. Therefore we approve and will
sustain the message, unless we have reason to
believe that our view Of its purport and COM
initials is incorrect We received the docu-
ment at a late hour last evening, and what we
have said of it has been said under press of
time and after rapid but earnest reading of
it. We shall have more to say hereafter.

In New Jersey.-During yesterday the Della
ware river rose considerably, and at O'Clock last
evening was still on the rise, and within a few
feet of being as high it was during the great
freshet Of Al, which caused so great destruction
of property. Large quantities oftimber of various
kinds, were noticed floating down the river yes
terday, and crowds of persons were collected on
the bank at various points, watching the fury of
the stream as it dashed along in its career.
The different factories, &c, with the exception
of a few having steam power, will be obliged 10
suspend operations at present, in consequence of
back water The Assanpink also rose 10 con-
siderable height; and about one o'clock yesterday
morning the cofer-dam. near the main dam, at the
foot of Green street, which was erected to enable
the construction of hood-gates at the end of the
latter, was washed away, the current carrying
with it, in its mad career, portion of the old dam
and all the new work in progress of erection. The
iron pipe used in conducting wash-water across
this creek 10 the paper-mill of ii. II. Bottom & Co,
was also carried away. which will temporarily de-
range the operations of that mill. The evening
train of cars from Philadelphia was detained last
evening in consequence ofthe track being flooded
with water, occasioned by the freshet.

of the bill are binding on the democracy; it
abuses the freesoilers because they oppose 1T;
and yet it advises the national democrats to
join with the feesoilers in opposing it, unless
its conditions are acquiesced in.
1t proceeds ON the rule or ruin principle.
1t would sacrifice great and bene6cent pub
lie measure, unless it can make it profitable
by increasing its power, or pleasant, by minis
tering to its revenge. Itpasses over the merit
of the measure, and looks only at the "recom-
pense of the reward"
We have too high an opinion of those who
are known by the proud title of national demo-
Gratis to believe that they can mediate such
a thing. We have been pressed and perse-
cuted as they have been pressed and prosecuted,
but we would sever our arms from our body
before we would permit our course in refer
ence to a great measure of public necessity to
be governed by personal resentments or con-
siderations of gain. The country will abandon
any party, no matter what its professions, that
makes selfish and sordid ends, rather than
honest principles, the rule of its conduct. No
such party would deserve the respect and con-
fdence Of the democracy; and we do not be-
lieve that those whom we have been accustom-
ed to look upon as the true men of the north
can be driven by prosecutions, hurried by pas
sion, or seduced by gain, to pursue the course
indicated by the Reporter.

The Storm In Connecticut.-The heavy rain
Of the last three days has caused great freshet
in all the streams in this vicinity, and we hear OF
considerable damage done to bridges and railroad
tracks.
A portion of the track and culvert on the New
York road, near West Haven, were washed ont
yesterday. Men were immediately set at work
in making the necessary repalrSEo that probably
no interruptonwill be experienced in the passage
of trains to-day From other sections of the road
we have heard nothing as yet
Some Of the abutments of the railroad bridge al
the Grand street junction are undermined, 80 that
it was considered last evening unfit for the pas
sage Of trains.
Barnesville bridge is badly damaged, and por-
ton of the eastern end had fallen in.
The canal road has suffered considerably. Be-
low Cheshire the track is washed some three hum
dred rods more, and in some places the rails
and ties carried away II is feared that serious
damage has been done 10 the road above Ches-
hire, as well as on the Tarifiville branch, but
from these points we have heard nothing.
The dam in Brockett's factory, in Hampden, is
washed away, but of the amount of damage we
| are not informed.
A gentleman who came from Seymour yester-
day, informs us that the Naugatuck river was
higher at that place than at any previous freshet
flooding the streets and houses, and driving the
inhabitants from their dwellings. The railroad
track was covered in many places. and it was
feared much damage would be done along the
line.
AT Ansonia the river was very high and il is re-
ported that three houses have been carried down
the stream, from one Of which the inmates barely
escaped with their lives.
The steam.propeller Jersey Blue Captain Hart.
arrived yesterday from New York, reports that of
Stratford saw large quantities of lumber, shingles,
trees, &c, stretching across the sound from the
mouth Of the Housatonic river; also discovered
the body Of a man afoat, but owing TO the rough
ness of the sea, and being hemmed in by floating
| timber, could not recover it.
| Between this place and Meriden the road is
| badly damaged, as it also is between Springfield
| and Worcester; and we learn that, in conse-
quence of the bad condition ofihe railroad tracks,
orders were sent to New York and Boston not 10
have the Sunday night mail trains perform their
usual trips last night.

committed every kind of outrage, have been ar
rested and will be brought 10 the capital in chains
The Diario Official gives an accosnt OF the re-
cent battle between the troops OF Santa Anna and
Alvarez. II converts this skrmish into bloody
battle, and a triumphant victory gained, after an
action of three hours, at the point OF the bayonet
But correspondent of the New Orleans bee,
writing from the city Of Mexico says that Alva-
not in these actions and that Vallereal was
the commander of the insurgents who numbered
in all but eight hundred men. He adds:
alvarez seems disposed 10 carry on Parthian
warfare with Santa Anna. He seeks 10 wear out
his enemys troops by fatigue, and TO keep him in
the field until the arrival of his most powerful ally,
summer, which will assuredy kill them all of,
should they venture to remain till then. Inc war
is merely partisan fight, where there will be very
little blood shed, but great deal of fever, famine,
and fatigue.
81 have just been informed by a gentleman who
is perfectly familiar with the territory ofthe SOUTH
that this coqniNo, which has been termed lofty
mountain, is merely hilock situated at the base
of the Peregrino. This induces me 10 believe
that Villareap after skrmish with Santa Anna,
fell back upon the main body Of the army under
Alvarez

Washington sentinel., 1854-05-04

nag The enemies of the Nebraska bill have
endeavored to render that wise and necessary
measure odious by every means that could
be resorted to. They have tried argument,
but their ablest men have been demolished.
They have tried statistics, but their statistics
have been turned against them. They have
tried defamation, but even in that they have
been vanquished. They then committed them
selves to the clergymen, whose prayers, ser
mons, and memorials, they thought would be as
effective against Nebraska, as the rams horns
were against the walls Of Jericho. But even
the prayers of the righteous availed not.
Driven to desperation, they at last bethought
them of rendering the measure odious by
charging its friends and supporters with
every species of fraud and chicanery. 1t has
been but a few days since rumor was circu-
lated all over the country that advantage would
be taken of the absence of some of its oppo-
nents to force the bill through the House OF
Representatives., and get snap judgment.
This calumny was promptly nailed to the coun-
ter.
To show that there is no ground for such
absurd and indefensible charges, and that the
friends of the bill scorn any resort to improper
and underhand means, we subjoin the following
extract from our report of the proceedings OF
Congress on Tuesday last The Hon. Mr.. Rich
ardson, the chairman of the House Com
mittee on Territories, said
"It was the understanding, and expressed
by him, when this week was set apart for busi-
ness relating to the organized Territories, that
the time was to be exclusively so devoted. He
desired to say another thing. La the early
part of next week he should endeavor to bring
to the consideration of the House the bill or
ganizing the territorial governments of Ne
braska and Kansas. He made this statement
that gentlemen might be fully advised that he
did not design to steal march on them. The
friends of the bill intended, further, to resort
to every fair parliamentary means to bring this
question to the consideration of the House"
