United States Senators,

". H. Seward, abolitionist, has been re-
elected 10 the United States Senate from
New York, by an'overwhelming majority.
He.is one of the most talented men in the
country, and is the head of the Abolition
and Higher Law fanatics of the North and
East. His election is to be regretted, as it
gives vitality to the expiring energies OF
Abolitionis;n, and he has enough of the de-
magogue in hin to keep their heads above
the water.
Gen. Wilson, Know Nothing ard Adolf
zionist, has been elected Senator by the Lee
gislature of Massachusetts,. Before he at.

The Washington correspondent of the n.
York Herald; Of Feb. LIST, says:
A little incident occurred in the House
to-day, that varied the dull monotony Of ev-
cry day business. Gen. 10. Lane, Of Ore
gon, and Mr.. Farley, of Maine had clinch
upon the floor, but it resulted in nothing Sc
rious. Mr.. Phelps was in the Chair, the
House being in Committee of the Whole
and Gen. Lane had the floor, discussing the
territorial bills before the House. Terri
toria business was the order Of the day
During General Lanes discussion Mr..
Farley Of Maine, arose and proposed 10 in
troduce a bill 10 establish line of telegraph
through the Territories, and asked for its
immediate discussion, insisting that such q
bill came properly within territorial bust
ness. General Lane replied, saying, that
questions gilmore importance affecting the
territories were before the House, and the
bill of Mr.. Farley could not be discussed.
While General Lane was proceeding in his
remarks, Fir. Farley arose and called him
TO order.
Gen. Lane, somewhat cxcited-"W VIVA,
do you mean by calling me TO order?"
Mr.. Farley, looking doggers-"I have as
much right TO call you to order, as you have
TO call me to order"
/ General Lane, looking fierce as Ajax de-
tying the the lightning-"You are a liar,
/ sir"
Mr.. Farley, looking Lanes ferceness
back again with interest-"Youa are a ID
liar. sir"

Pacific Bail Road.

The cars passed over the Pacific Railroad
from ST. Louis to Washington, on the Mis-
souri, river, last Saturday, for the first time.
The distance is some flty-four miles, and
was run in about three hours, including
stoppages. Some three hundred persons
went over the Road. We see it stated that
the road from Washington to Jefferson City,
will be completed by midsummer, when
the citizens of upper Missouri will have
the variety of railroad ride when they
visit ST. Louis.

FROM JEFFERSON,
JEFFERSON CRY, Feb. 6, 1855.

JEFFERSON CRY, Feb. 6, 1855.
Mn. GREEN:--In the Senate, to-day, the
interest law of lS45 was adopted by that
body by majority of four. That being the
final action of that branch of the General
Assembly upon the bill introduced by Mr..
Zegler:-the proposition TO leave the bor-
rover to the mercy Of the lender, or to make
such contract for the use of money as the
parties should agree upon, the law of the
land-nct meeting with favorable conside-
ration in tie Senate.
The Senate, day, also passed law for
the loan of 5000 900 to the Pacific Railroad
company, without which it is said the COM
pany would, in a short time, have been pro-
tested for large amount, and the progress
of that great public enterprise would have
been arrested, TO the great injury of the
State, and the ruin Of the contractors.
In the House Of Representatives little
has been done. That body was engaged
nearly all day in discussing the merits of a
bill introduced by Mr.. barnes Of Scott, the
object Of which was to protect homestead
10 every poor man, exempt from execution
for his debts, to the value of not more thar
seven hundred and fifty dollars, and aIte,
pretty full discussion, and several amend
ments having been proposed, the bill ant
amendm ents were, upon motion of Colone
Brtton, of Lincoln county, laid upon tn,
table.
The Senate bill for the loan of $20O,OOt
10 the Pacific Railroad Company, was, OF
motion of Mr.. Rollins, of Boone, taken u
in the House, read a first time, and a mo
ton being nude to suspend the rule requir
ing bills TO be read on three several days,
met with spirited opposition from Mr.. Mi
nor, Mr.. Acock, and Mr.. GlstrOp; but up

two-thirds sustained the motion. The bi
being read a second time by its title, wa
referred to the Committee OF Internal i'm

is believed that the bill will pass the Hous
also.
