CONGRESS-.

In the Senate, yesterday, a bill to establish
a land Office in the lower peninsula Of Michigan
was passed The rest of the day was occupied
in the consideration Of Executive business,
after which the Senate adjourned till Monday.
In the House of Representatives, resolu-
ton was adopted, ordering to be printed TWEEN

Herndon and Gibbons report of the explora-
tions of the valley Of the Amazon and its tri-
butaries. Mr.. Stanton, of Tennessee, from the
Committee on the Judiciary, reported bill
modifying the judicial system of the United
States. Mr.. Olds reported bin to increase
the rates of postage to five and ten cents, pre-,
paid, and to reduce postage on letters carried
wholly or in part by sea to the above-named
rates, except in cases of postal treaties in the
foreign countries. The further consideration
of the subject was postponed for fouA weeks.
The land graduation bill was perfected in and
reported from the Committee of the Whole on
the State of the Union. An Intellectual mo-
ton was made to lay it upon the table; and,
pending the question on ordering it to be en-
engrossed for third reading, the House ad-

THE NATIONAL THEATRE.

We have learned with pleasure that, pre-
paratory to the opening of the next season,
such improvements, additions, and alterations
will be made as will render this place the agree
able resort it should be. We presume addition
al lights will be provided, and that the private
boxes will be altered, and the seats rendered
comfortable. These things, together with ad
ditional scenery, general cleansing and re.
fitting, will render the toute ensemble inferior to
no theatre in the country, so far as convenient
arrangement and comfort are concerned. The
front will also receive attention, and present a
very different appearance.
We call attention to the advertisement in an.
other column, the terms Of which are unusual,
and indicate purpose to offer every possible

secure company Of the first talent.

SOLDIERS AND CITIZENS.

The newspapers of the country are engaging
with much zeal and earnestness in the discus
sion, now going on, as to the propriety of ap-
pointing military officers to positions purely
civil in their character. But all the discussion
seems to be on one side. AS far as we have
the opportunity of Judging, there is a singular
unanimity against investing military officers
with civil functions, and with control and
superintendent over citizens.
We, however, do not concur in all the views
and arguments urged by those who advocate
divorce Of military from civil functions We
have no complaints. to make, as some of them
have done, against the army or navy, or against
the accomplished officers in either of those
branches of the public service. We have a
great admiration for them, and high appre-
citation Of their gallant services. The military
academy at West Point has no warmer friends
than ourselves. We are in favor Of all proper
means and measures that have been or can be
devised to perfect the army and navy in military
and nautical science, and thus better fit them
for their arduous duties. We are in favor of
the improvements recommended by the Sec
retaries of War and the Navy. Nor can we
join any who would seek to create prejudice
against the gallant men who in peace are the
ornaments, and in war the defenders of our
country. .
All that we desire is to confne these officers
to, their proper spheres Plain citizens are no
r.
more lifted to superintend their operations in
war, than they are fitted to superintend those
operations in civil life that require the most as.
slduous preparation. The only prejudice, per
haps, that can ever spring up against the mill
tary in this country, is that which would ineyi.
tably be oecasioned by withdrawing them from
their proper spheres and giving them the con.
troll Of works and men that have no manner of
connexion with them. Jealousy, i'll will. and
hostility towards these two arms of the public
defence cannot but result from so injurious a
course. We would guard against this before
it grows into fixed system. We would re.
move the evil before it becomes incurable. We
would do all in our power to promote kindly
feeling and good understanding between the
soldier and the citizen.
The most effectual way of doing this is to
keep them separate and apart, as they were in
tended to be kept We are opposed to mixign
variant elements No good can BOW come Of

the necessity of the case, and from the very

LUDIcRoUs MIscHIEF.-The following droll
incident" is related in the Knickerbocker, as
having occurred to a lady of high responsibility
in Brooklyn
s. The lady has charming little boy, very
observing, initiative, and active. The child had
noticed the postman constantly leaving letters,
and moving off quick and he thought it would
be very nice thing to become postman. So
he one day went to his mammals escrutoire,
and took out some twenty-five or thirty letters,
tied them up, and sailed forth, leaving one at
every house, and moving off quick. The lady
was rather surprised, when her next neighbor
brought her an open letter, which she said
somebody had left at her door; but what was
her astonishment, when visiting hour arrived
for another, and another, and another lady
coming in, all bringing open letters, until her
ample parlor was completely crammed. You
need not doubt the mirth and fun grew fast
and furious, as each lady entered with the same
tale, and the little postman was elated beyond
measure to find what a capital postman he
was; but the best Of the fun was, that every
lady, one and all, asserted she had not unfold
ed or read one word-oh no, not they. Ladies
are lar, far above prying into other ladies' let
tiers. The fair lady to whom the letters were
addressed, is fortunately the mother of large
and lovely family, and the letters we're from
early friends, schoolmates," &c.

CORNS.

This is subject heretofore considered by
scientific gentlemen of the pill and lancet as
too insignificant to find place in their medi-
cal jurisprudence; while, on the contrary, tenn
perance lecturers have attached great import
ance to it. This difference Of opinion may
arise from a variety of forms of the disease.
The most extensive, lasting, and troublesome,
is that which makes its appearance upon the
feet and toes. For years past we have been q
sufferer from this last form, and have tried a
thousand and one remedies prescribed by kind
sympathizing friends, but in vain.
DR.. Levi at last came among us, and, as a for.
lorn hope, we applied to him for assistance. With
our mind fortified against pain, teeth set, and
eyes riveted aloft we gave ourselves up to an
anticipated martyrdom. The pleasing CONVEX
sation of the doctor soon relaxed our Rightly
of muscle, and we were much surprised when
he showed us substance, resembling bone, of
conical form nearly quarter of an inch in
length, and could scarcely believe that he had
extracted it from our toe until we saw the cavity
therein.
AS we before said, physicians have attached
but little Importance to this troublesome COM
plant, but DIR. Levi has considered it worth
many years of study He operates in scien-
tifc manner, and the recommendations from
persons of the highest stations in life show
that they have availed themselves of his know
ledge on the subject. We refer the afflicted to
