Mr. ZOLLICOFFER offered resolution that,
in conformity with the fundamental principles of
a great popular government, like that of the
United States Of America, il is the duty of all
candidates for prominent positions frankly and
fully 10 state their opinions on important political
questions involved in their election, and especi-
ally when Intercepted by the body of electors
whose votes they are seeking.
The reason which Mr.. ZOLLICOFFERa assigned
for offering the resolution that of the three
candidates before the House for Speaker, but
one (Mr. FULLER had answered the questions
propounded 10 him political principles involved
in the contest. He proposed to ask Mr.. RICH
ARDsoN u few questions, including the following
Whether he regards the massachusetts bill as
measure promotive OF the formation of free
States, and whether he is advocate of the
constutionaily of the Wilmot proviso.
Mr.. RICHARDSON said he was ready to meet
all those questions.
Mr. HOUSTON thought it would be unfair TO
interrogate Mr.. RICHARDSON only, and not the
other candidates. That gentleman has been voted
for on distinct platform of principles.
Mr.. ZOLLICOFFER replied that he would
furnish the gentleman with a copy OF The ques
tons, and that he could PROFOUND them 10 the
other candidates.
Mr.. STEPHENS cordially approved Of the
resolution, He would ask the gentleman who
introduced the resolution whether he (Mr. ZoLL-
coFFER) did not belong 10 an organization uhe
know-nothing) whose principles are sealed with
an oath, and whose members are sworn not even
10 make known the existence OF such an organi-
cation.
Mr.. ZOLLICOFFER said that the gentleman
from Georgia was lodging the question. He (Mr
ZoLLIcoFFER) belonged 10 the American party,
but 10 no party sworn 10 conceal its fundamental
principles, which national and constitutional
Mr.. STEPHENS replied that the gentleman
had cited the principles OF that party published
outside whereas he MIR. STEpHENs) wished TO
come 10 the INSIDE
Mr.. HOLLOWAY opposed the resolution, be-
cause il would open up debate which would
prevent the election of Speaker for three or four
more weeks 10 come.
Several other gentlemen stated their reasons
for their votes on the pending proposition.

Discovery IN Peru-A shroud OF Gold

A Discovery In Peru-A Shrcud OF Gold.
The Hon. Thomas Ewbank, in a letter to
the National Intelligcncer communicates some
interesting information in relation to recent
discoveries in the excavation of Peruvian tumul.
It was received by Mr.. Ewbank, from w. Evans,
ESQ.,, engineer of the African and Tacna Rail-
road in Peru Mr.. Evans states thatin making
excavations for the railroad at Africa, hundreds
of graves are demolished, in which are numer-
Gus Indian relics. The excavations are seventy
feet deep, and as the soil is loose sand, and rs
the work proceeds, everything from the top
comes sliding down-dead Indians, pots, kettles I,
arrow heads, &c. Among other interesting
mortuary relics, an Indian was started out of
his resting place, rolled up in Stroud Of gold.
Before Mr.. Evans had knowledge Of the incl.
dent, the workmen had cut up this magnificent
winding sheet and divided it among themselves.
With some difficulty Mr.. Evans obtained frag-
ment and despatched it to Mr.. Ewbank.
Mr.. Evans notices as a very remarkable fact,
that in hundreds of Indian skulls which he ex-
amined not one has contained decayed TOOTH
Mr.. Ewbanks thinks the weight of the entire
shroud must have been eight or nine pounds,
and had it been preserved, would have been
the finest specimen of sheet gold that we have
heard of since the times of the Spanish con-
quest. In some eloquent remarks upon the
preservation Of souvenirs Of the departed, and
the futility Of attempting to secure the great
dead from contact with their native earth, Mr..
Ewbank says it is the form or features, and not
the body or substance Of the dead that should
be preserved, and adds:
1.-THE mummies of Egypt are quarried for
fuel, and, whether those of the Pharaohs, their
wives, their priests or their slaves, are split
open and chopped up with the same Indifference
as so many pine logs, the gums and balsams
used in embalming them have made them
good substitute for bituminous coal and thus
the very means employed to preserve them
have become the active agents for their diss-
patton. So it is when materials of collins have
a high marked value; they are then seized as
concealed treasure, and their contents cast out
as rubbish Like heros in the Eastern hemis-
phere, the descendants of Nance Capoc where
sometimes, if not always, entombed in such,
and with considerable treasures besides in
vessels of gold and silver; hence we learn how
the Spanish conquerors sought for, often found,
and as often plundered rich Incan sepulchres."

EIGHTH OF JANUARY-LETTER FROM
SON OF HENRY CLAY.

The anniversary of the battle of New Or
leans was generally celebrated in our larger
cities, and celebrated in manner becoming
that illustrious occasion. We thus far, owing
to the interruptions to travel and intercommu.
nication, caused by snow and ice, see but few
accounts of these celebrations. One, however,
that we have met with in the Ne,c York Nelcs,
possesses more than an ordinary interest," 1t
was not so much the style Of the entertainment,
and the magni6cence of the dinner thatattracted
US, as the spirit evinced in the sentiments,
speeches and letters of the occasion. This
was the celebration held by the National Dem
ocratic Club of New York city, at the Metro.
poitan Hotel. Interesting letters from many
distinguished gentlemen we're read. One Of
these letters is invested with more than com
mon interest, owing to the close connection Of
the author with the great Wing statesman Of
Kentucky--Henry Clay. We transfer this
letter to our columns:
FROM JAMES B. cLAY-(soN OF HENRY cLAY)
ASHLAND, Thursday, January 8, 1856.
GENTLENEN-I have received the note which,
as a committee of the Young Mems National
Democratic Club Of the city and county OF
New York, you have done me the honor to
address to me, inviting me to attend dinner
TO be given by them, in celebration Of the ami
versary Of the battle of New Orleans.
We're it possible for me to absent myself from
home at the time designated it would afford
me great pleasure TO unite with any portion OF
my countrymen for the purpose of celebrating
the anniversary Of one Of the most glorious
events in the annals Of our common country.
| regret that my affairs preclude the possibility
of my joining you. Such celebrations are
every day becoming more rare, so that we may
begin to fear that the country will, before long,
have ceased to remember some of its greatest
events, as well as the great names which have
illustrated its history in war and peace.
Having had but little personal connection
with the political world, | am not sufficiently
acquainted with the principles and purposes Of
your society to be prepared to say that could
also unite with you fully upon those principles
or for the advancement of those purposes.

party, which was endeared to me by a thousanS

r@- Mexico AND ITS RELIGION, is the title
of a new work by R. A. Wilson, esq, of Ro-
chester, N. Y. Mr.. Prescott, the historian thus
speaks Of it in a letter to the author:
In an unpretending form it contains a good
deal of matter quite original. That portion of
the work relating to the exaggerations of the
early conquerers, is particularly deserving Of
attention by the student of our early North
American annals. You have dealt with bold
hand, stripping off the fine robe of romance,
and in some cases, indeed the flesh beneath
it-reducing it to an unsightly skeleton The
skeleton, however, may be nearer the truth !;
but yet it viii be hard to prove it. There
does not appear to be much inconsistency in
the various testimony Of the old chronicles
Your strong ground, therefore, must consist in

THE SEASON AND IT'S RIGoRs.

| The present is a hard season on the poor, on
unsheltered animals, and on those who travel
either by land or water. Everything is frozen
| up The rivers, water courses, springs, and
pumps are all INSTRUCTED by ice. The rail
| ways and the ordinary roads are covered with
deep and hardened snow. Travel is every.
where impeded. The great topic of the news
papers is the difficulties everywhere encoun-
tered by travellers. The mails are sadly in
terferred with. Newspapers and letters share
the same fate. This almost unprecedented visi-
tation of rigorous weather has interrupted both
business and pleasure.
No class Of persons perhaps, suffers as much
inconvenience from this cause, as editors. De-
prived of their regular mails, and unable to
command access to their usual sources of infor-
nation, it is almost impossible for them to
find either an item of news or a suitable topic
for discussion These difficulties are, unfortu-
nately, enhanced by the failure of Congress to
organize, and the consequent dearth of politi'
cal subjects for investigation and comment.
There has been scarcely any variation in the
proceedings of the House of Representatives
since it assembled. The monotonous character
of the proceedings has become well nigh insult
ferable. Every plan thus far attempted to bring
about the election of Speaker has failed. The
last plan, looking to that object, failed more
signally, perhaps, than any other that has been
tried. Members of Congress- however, distin-
guished and able, are at last but men, and
like the rest Of mankind they require meat,
drink, and sleep. They perhaps never felt the
force of this remark more than on Thursday
morning when they adjourned the House, after
protracted session of twenty hours and a
half. But to return to our first topic.
The meegre news that we can gain access
to, informs us of the blocking up of the rail
ways, the detention of travellers, the hardships
and privations to which they are subjected, the
breaking down of Geographic wires, and the
death by cold of unfortunate paupers, wretched
inebriates, and other unlucky persons, exposed
to the rigors of the season.
We do not remember ever to have expe-
rienced a colder spell than the present. spell,
when the poor needed more the charities of
the rich, and dumb animals required more the
the careful attention of those on whom they
depend.
The merry music of the sleigh bells is heard
day and night, all over our city. Indeed every
kind of vehicle seems to have been temporarily
transformed into sleigh. Sleighs are not
only used for pleasure, but for business.
Wherever a river, stream, a pond or a
duck puddle presents itself, there mischievous,
but, happy urchins may be found skating and
sliding.
