CONGRESS-.

In the Senate yesterday, Mr.. Bright submitted
resolution directing the publication of the
Senate debates in the Sentinel. After discussion,
it was postponed. After some unimportant mo-
tions, the consideration Of the vetoed BILL grant
ing land to the States for the benefit Of the in
digent insane, was resumed, and Mr.. Badger
addressed the Senate for two hours, sustaining
the constitutionality of the bill. 1t was then
postponed till Monday. To-day private bills
will be considered.
In the House of Representatives, yesterday,
Mr.. Richardson offered resolution proposing
to terminate the debate on the Nebraska and
Kansas bill to-day, at twelve o'clock. He was
asked to modify the resolution, giving further
time for discussion, but he declined to do so,
alleging, as reason, that for next week there
was special order, the Pacific railroad bill,
and that it was desirable to remove this meas
IRE out of the way before proceeding to the
consideration Of that subject. Mr.. Mace moved
that the resolution be laid upon the table, Blu,
thequestion was determined in the negative; and
then commenced the war of the minority to
defeat the intentions of the majority. Motions
TO adjourn, to be excused from voting, &C..
were made by the former and the questions
taken by yeas and nays and thus the time Of
the body was consumed for hours. With q
view Of affording an opportunity for ample dis
cussion, which was claimed by the enemies Of
the bill, Mr.. McDougal signi6ed his willing
ness to postpone the special order 1.-THE Pacific
railroad billy until next Tuesday week. The
postponement of special order, however, re
quires unanimous consent, which was not OBJ
tanned; the enemies of the Nebraska bill object
ing to such an arrangement thus generously Of
cred by the friends Of Nebraska.
The House was in session at late hour
last night, with no prospect Of an early ad.
journment.

DIR. LEVI, THE cHIRopopIsr.

We understand that DR.. Levi, who has spent
some weeks in Washington, is about leaving.
We take much pleasure in earnestly recon-.
mending him to the people of any place he
may visit. We speak from experience when
we say that, instead of being painful, it is al
most luxury to have corn extracted by the
accomplished doctor. he is not only accom-
plished in his profession, but he is an agree
able and accomplished gentleman.

senee of number of those opposed to it.
This was also exposed.
Now, that it is fairly before the House of
Representatives, we may expect them to throw
every hindrance, obstruction, and difficulty in
the way Of its passage. They commenced this
plan Of operations in the House yesterday. In
place OF arguments on the measure, every pro-
position, every motion, that would delay and
hinder it, was made. On every proposition the
yeas and nays were called. This is miserable
exhibition of impotent malice but it affords
at the same time the best evidence that the
enemies of the bill believe that majority Of
the House is in its favor, and that if it can be
brought up fairly it will pass.
Now, this course that they are pursuing j.
unwise and impolitic for several reasons. First
if the friends of the measure are sufficiently nu
merous to pass it, when it comes up On its final
passage, as it inevitably must, there is no sense
in wasting the time of the House in useless eff
forts to procrastinate the decision; and, next,
if it must pass, it had as well pass to-day as
tomorrow, or this week as next week.
Again, the time consumed in this barren and
absurd opposition to the measure, in the con
slant calling Of the yeas and nays, is so mucl
time taken from the consideration Of importan
subjects that demand the attention of Congress
The people do not expect their Representatives
to waste valuable time in barren and absurt
efforts to impede the course Of legislation, ant
they will hold those who do SO to strict &c
countability. If the course commenced yester
day shall be persisted in, the most importan
and pressing measures will be neglected, ant
the public, money will be squandered to NJ
purpose.

FROM CARSON VALLEY.--The Placerville
Democrat has news from Carson valley to the
lst inst The farmers were engaged in putting
in their crops, and were expecting large i'm.
migration in the spring. Provisions of all kinds,
with the exception Of bacon, were abundant.
There were quite number Of families in the
valley and they we're surrounding themselves
with comforts and Injuries. All the lands ca
pable of cultivation are being improved; grist
and saw mills we're being erected, and the
mines were doing fair business. The Piute
Indians had become troublesome. They had
killed and driven off horses, and a detachment
of citizens had gone in pursuit. A Mr.. Ketcham,
who had gone out hunting, lost his way in the
mountains, and was absent FIVE days without
food or fire. He suffered greatly.

Indians, the number Of buialoes killed annually
is not short OF 100000. He took much pains to
procure the best information on the subject, and
his estimate cannot be very incorrect. Not less
than 1000 900 robes have been shipped within his
agency during the last year. One hundred and
fifty thousand ofthose animals are destroyed, and
thousands Of hides are used by the Indians TO

Mr.. DAVIS OF Rhode Island, noticing a remark
of Mr.. SiEPHENs, that this question has been dis

should bear in mind that deeper interest was felt
in IL, and II was more important than any other
question in The estimation of large portion OF
the members of this House. He desired that all
should be heard, without involving the members
in night session. He did not admit the right of
any gentleman 10 curtail him Of his rights. This
