~ We call the attention of the public to
the following from the Enquirer:
At the time we penned the article about the
affray, we gave all the particulars that were
known in the city, early in the morning OF
Friday; and we had not heard from any source
that Smith Gavitt was at the ARRAY or at the
Barbecue. We had heard that Marshal Evans
was there, and had heard many different sto-
ries about his completely in the difficulty, but
then we had from Solomon Kahn's own lips,
the story as we gave it, land which was true
and undenied by the Journal, concerning the
injuries and bloody appearance and flight OF
Ross. We wanted only such evidence to sat
isfy is who committed the deed.
The above commences with direct false
hood. Mr.. Hall gave no particulars of the af-
fair, except to say at such place and time.
such man was stabbed by such man, and
to signify the act was the natural result of a
meeting of Knoro Nothings, when not one Of
the parties interested was Know Nothing.
The main particulars were all known here
early Friday morning. The last part of the
above extract is simply rascally subterflge.

a Wonderful Mirror.

Among the curiosities TO be met with
In the Paris Exhibition, was huge con-
cave mirror, the instrument of a startling
species of optical magic. On standing
close to it, it presents nothing but mag
nifcently monstrous dissection of your
physiognomy. On retiring a couple of
feet, it gives your own face and figure in
true proportion, but reversed, the head
downwards. But retire still further,
Standing at the distance of FIVE or six feet
from the mirror, and behold, you see
yourself not q refection-it does not
strike you as a refection-but your YER
table self, standing on the middle part
between you and the mirror. The effect
is almost appalling, from the idea it sug-
gests of something supernatural; sos start
ling, in fact, that men of the strongest
nerve will shrink involuntary at the first
view. If you raise you cane to thrust at
your other sell, you VIII see II pass clean
through the body and appear on the 9TH
er side, the figure thrusting at you the
same instant. The artist who first sue
ceeded 10 fashioning a mirror of this de-
scription, brought it to one of the French
Kings-if we recollect Alright, it was
Louis XV.-placed his majesty on the
right spot, whose figure he saw. The
king did so, but seeing the point Of a
sword directed to his own breast, threw
down his weapon and ran away. The
practical joke cost the inventor the kings
patronage and favor; his Majesty being
afterwards so ashamed of his own cow
ardice that he would never again look at
the mirror or its owner.

Extract from the London England Chr641tcle
The War Tone of the Message.

From the views which the President
thus vaguely announces we appeal to the
better feeling of the people of the Union.
It is very plain that Mr.. PIERCE would
involve his country in a quarrel with
mrs If he could, and that he has put
firth these limitations as feelers Of the
nublc mind. The hostile tone intimates
his own personal opinions the feeble and
uncertain mode in which they are follow
ed out indicates his fear that the country
ia not with him. If he felt conscious that
his countrymen were heart and soul at his
back, his Message, there can be no doubt,
would have rung out clear and distinct
notes of defiance.
For ourselves, believing that Great
Britain requires no more than the treaty,
truly interpreted, awards to her, and that
in the matter of the recruiting our Min
listers are willing to make every apology
which they can honorably tender for their
blunder, we are delighted to see that our
brethren across the Atlantic are disposed
to look upon the matter in the same light
What effect this Message may have upon
the people of the different States we
have not yet the means of ascertaining.
In Congress, as we have already no.
ticed, the document has been received il
a tone anything bun grateful, or even re
spectful.
The impression seems to have beer
pretty general there, that the documen
has been given to the world, not so muci
to expla n the state eff the country, as Il
forward the Presidents chances for re
election, and that his sending it to Con
gress in the irregular way he has don't
is proof of it. We have not alluded II
that portion of the Message which re
lates to Kansas. The President treat
these very lightly. We shall be delighted
to hear that the storm which is gather
ing in that quarter has blown over, an,
we hope that pacific relations between
Great Britain and America may lon.
survive the rule, however often renewed
of President PIERCE.

sincerity is as much questioned as on
former occasions, but appearances are all
fair and straightforward.
The Car has ordered his army in the
Crimea to cease hostilities, without wait

rumored that an armistiee is agreed on for
three months.
France, England and Austria continue
in accord, although it is foreseen that
grave questions must arise during the
negotiations. No place of meeting has
yet been decided on. A dispatch to-day
of doubtful authority, says the meeting
will be either at Paris or London, also
that Baron Brunon will be the Russian
Plenipotentiary. 1t will be Feb. 2, at
least, before all preliminary signatures
are appended to the said agreement to
meet.

Congressional Mems.
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Feb. 5.
SENATE.

Mr.. Clayton introduced a resolution
appropriating 200 cords of wood to the
suffering poor in Washington, to be paid
for out of the contingent fund.
Messrs. Hunter and Toombs regarded
it as a perversion of that fund.
Mr.. Clay moved an amendment, that
the wood be paid for out of the per diem
of the members, in equal proportions.
Mr.. Toombs, preferring to be his own
almoner, moved an amendment, that the
wood be paid from the per diem of men,
bers voting for the resolution.
Mr.. Weller hoped Senators would in
dividually contribute for the relief of the
poor, and on his motion the resolution
was laid on the table by Z majority.
Mr.. Weller introduced bill authoriz-
ing the coinage at San francisco mint of
'unions" of the value of 500, and shalt
unions" of the value of $50, made con-
formally to the standard for gold coins,
and to be received as legal tender.
The consideration of the Central A
merican question was then resumed.
Mr.. Foote, although not an admirer OF
Mr. Buchanan, eulogized the argument
Of that gentleman, regarding his con-
struction of the Clayton ard Bulwer
treaty, as of consummate ability. The
treaty requires of Her Majesty's govern.
ment the immediate withdrawal from any
actual occupancy of or dominion ovel
any portion of the Mosquito territory OF
sea coast, by virtue of a pretended pro
tectorate. The claims of England ovel
Central America and Bay Islands being
founded on no right of discovery, con
quest, purchase or treaty, her occupation
of the territory was clear case of forci
bic entry and detainer, and her right tn,
same that highwayman has to pursu,
an unarmtd traveller. He proposed tina
direct congressional declaration be mad
Of our construction of the treaty, and O
our purpose to enforce the obligations re
sulting from that construction. If thi
prove unavailing, and after negotiation
shall have been exhausted, he would en-
tertain proposition similar to that sug
gested by Mr.. Seward, namely, to Civ,
England official and formal notice tina
she must withdraw from her Contra
American occupations by a given day
IF then she still holds out and disregard
all our summons, he would have her re
moved by force of arms.

only gives a clear polish to the
