The Senate resumed the consideration of the

the adoption OF provision which will give the
Executive the means 10 protect our people against

tanned himself by extracts from Executive docu-
ments, TO show the necessity Of military force
where now we have no protection.
Mr.. RUSk urged the necessity of stopping the
rowing disposition of the tribes, and leading them
to the cultivation of the arts of peace. Some have
already become successful agrculturists, and all
should be shown the necessity Of preserving the
peace and resoring 10 honest industry. With the
views which he entertained, he was willing 10 add
a military force, but he thought the large number
which had been suggested was not necessary.

IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
10 the public, is attracting great attention, moi only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are great number OF people who are af-
fcted with the distressing complaint for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease which
has been so long needed has airactedihe attention
of all ferers from headache who have heard of it,
From our own knowledge OF DIR. Eastmans char
acter and practice we have no doubt that the med
cine deserves the favor receives, and that il will
prove TO be great benefit 10 all who may give il

The SPEAKER laid before the House a mes
sage from the President Of the United States,
transmitting communication from the Secretary
of the Interior, with accompanying papers, re-
commenting that the appropriations therein asked
be made. The President likewise calls the atten
lion OF Congress 10 the importance Of modifying

tain the floor on Thursday next he shall move
that the House resolve itself into Committee Of
the Whole on the state Of the Union, with a view
of considering the bill TO modify the existing
tariff. And further, that he shall make the vote

During twenty minutes, various reports were
made and bills introduced; which were appropr-
ately referred
Mr.. WRIGHT, OF Mississippi, offered resolu-
tion which was agreed 10, requesting the Presi-
dent OF the United States TO communicate 10 the
House, If not incompatible with the public inter
ests, copies of the correspondence between the

our friendly relations with that country, and the
Instructions of the State department relative 10

the government of the United States and France
and Great Britain, respecting the Island OF Cuba
not heretofore communicated 10 Congress.
The House resolved itself into the Committee
of the Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr

of the line, at such rates Of compensation for
messages transmitted as Congress may by law
provide. Two millions of acres Of land are to be
given TO the propretors of the line, excluding all
mineral lands.
He proceeded TO show the necessity Of such
line, and to demonstrate the practcability Of its
construction. He caused to be read letters from
the heads of the several Departments in relation
10 the convenience and importance of the means
Of communication proposed
