For the Washington Sentinel
The Collins Line.

Every one who takes an interest in the mar
thine concerns of our country must contem-
plate with deep regret, the efforts that are be-
ing made to take the mail service from the
Collins line of steamers. 1t is no disparage-
ment to our navy to assert the fact that in about
the seven years that this line has been rum
ming, its magnificent vessels with their elegant
equipments their excellent officers and sea-
men, they have done as much to sustain the
marine supremacy of the stripes and stars, as
any equal number of war vessels, with all
their compliments Of guns and men. The
thousands of passengers of all nations who
have crossed the ocean in them, have borne
testimony to all nations, of their great superior
ity over any other vessels that ever aoated.
Though they are owned by individuals, they
vet partake of national character, and their
successful career is theme of national pride
and graduation. The English, with their Gu
nard line, have in vain endeavored to compete
with them, although the British government
has made the most liberal donations to encou-
rage competition, with the hope of ultimate
successful rivalry. For the mail service in
which they have been engaged they have been
paid by our government; whether it has proved
profitable to their owners or not we care not
but to us it seems like blow aimed at our
naval honor ana reF ltau0n 10 attempt 10 ue-
prive these noble vessels of the nationality Of
character conferred on them as United States
mail steamers. One of this splendid line, the
Baltic, has Just made the quickest trip on re-
cord. If the mail service is withdrawn from
these vessels, it must be given somewhere, and
as there is no other line belonging to this
country, competent to the undertaking, it
would naturally fall to the share of the English
or Cunard line; and SO while we would be de-
priving our own marineof both honor and profit,
we would be comforting both upon our maritime
rival. This sort of "aid and comfort" given
to our competitors, would be legislating for our
country with vengeance. We care not whe-
Their the company are making money or not.
If they are making it, they deserve it for their
risk and enterprise; if they are not making it,
we hope the government will grant them great
err compensation, that they may make it. But
at any rate we trust that, after so magniicently
illustrating our marine superiority as they have
done, they will not be deprived of their present
service, but be allowed to continue, TO demon
strate the supremacy of "the land of the free
and home of the brave" over every maritime
nation upon earth.

Mr. CLINGMAN moved an amendment in the
form Of proviso--that tho President Off United
States shall sndeavor, by treaty or otherwise, TO
induce the British government 10 abandon in q
similar manner the subsidy paid 10 the Cunard
line in which event the Postmaster General is in
structed TO take the necessary steps 10 get rid of
all existing contracts for the transportation Of the
mails
He advocated his amendment saying no be-
lieyed this object could be accomplished.
Debate ensued, involving the merits of the con-
tracts and the capacity of the vessels for pur
poses and also the faith of the government 10
sustain the present arrangement
Finally the amendments Of both Mr.. OLDs and
CLINaMAN together with others, were rejected.
On motion Of Mr.. HAVEN, the first section Of
the bill was amended-yeas SO, nays 6l-strkng
out the word forthwith" and inserting the "thir-
ty.irst of December next" as the time for the
Secretary OF the Navy TO give notice TO terminate
the arrangement for the additional allowance for
the transportation Of the United States mail be-
tween New York and Liverpool in the Collins
line of steamers.
Several other amendments were made; which,
when the committee rose, were concurred in,
And the House adjourned.

the sick headache, which has been recently offered
to the public is attracting great attention, not only
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because

no medicine has before been made public Dr.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his rem
cdy,n is physician in this city, in high standing,

that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed, has attracted the attention
ofal sufferers from headache who have heard OF II.

He said he was not in favor Of the Increased
allowance The Committee on the Post Office
and Post Roads, early in the session. reported a
bill, not only giving notice, but, putting an end TO
the contracts for carrying the mails in steamers.
This bill was on the calendar, but could not be

il at the next session, in time to give the proposed
notice. y
Mr.. SKELETON argued that il was expedient,
proper, and necessary and for the interest Of the
country, that the contracts shall be abolished;
and, therefore he hoped the amendment Of the
gentleman from Ohio would not prevail.
Mr.. WALBRIDGE was in favor Of the amend

time 10 terminate the contract; and defended the
