GEORGETOWN, May %, 1856.
An accident happened on Water street yes
tsrday afternoon which will doubtless result
in the death of little girl named Laura How.
ard, about seven years of age. While one of
the wagons of Mr.. F. Wheatley's lumber yard
was being loaded, the horse attached to it be.
came frightened at the hosting of q sail on n
vessel, and ran off. The child happened to be
out in the street at the time !; and while trying
to get out of the way, was knocked down by
the animal, caught in the wheels Of the wagon
and dragged some distance, and then thrown
against pile of lumber. She was taken to
her home in Jefferson street, and Drs Maccall
and Craigan called in. She was found to have
received a severe wound upon one of her legs,
besides serious internal injuries, both of her
head and body. Wa learn from her father
Mr.. I. Howard, this morning, that there is
but little if any hope of her recovery.
A fire occurred. yesterday afternoon, in a
small frame house on Fourth street, near
High, belonging to Mr. c L. Mix, and occu-
pied by Mr. COOnts. The house was entirely
consumed, but nearly all the furniture was
saved. The fire companies, including several
from your city, were prompt on the ground,
but could do little good in consequence of the
difficulty in obtaining supply Of water. Mr.
Mix, were learn, was insured in one of the
District Offices.

his Office are still discharged by r. Ould, ESQ,

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS

In the Senate, yesterday, after we went to
press, Mr.. Cass made further personal ex-
PLANTATION in regard to the letter from Mr..
Champion to the Earl of Malmesbury, dated
January 10, 1853, showing that he (Mr Cramp
tom bad wholly Inexperienced what had
fallen from him (Mr. Cass) in the casual con
versation referred to therein.
The Presidents messages vetoing internal
improvement bills were then again taken up,
and were debated by Messrs Toombs and
Butler for, and Messrs. Crittenden, Bell OF
Tenn and others against the views therein
set forth, ere they adjourned.
In the House, the bill granting lands to the
State Of Michigan in aid of the construction
Of certain railroads therein named was passed

the posse and wounding others Hence the
burning, doubtless, as that way of obeying
the law was very likely to exasperate those
doing their simple duty a good citizens in
aiding the sheriff to execute the writs in his
hands.
Elsewhere we give the reader all that the
telegraph has brought to-day, with the re-
mark that we place no confidence whatever
in any telcgraphic account from Kansas, al
ways awaiting accounts by mail of the stories
originally told per telegraph before knowing
how far to place confidence in them. The
Journal Of Commerce, commenting yesterday
upon these occurrences, says with great truth
and force:
owe withhold comments until we learn the
facts; only remarking that a worse policy
could not possibly have been pursued than to
make a mighty flourish of Sharp's rifles and
cannon, -defying tho " border ruff ans" to
come and take them,-and then, when the
hour of trial arrived run away, Or surrender
at discretion, leaving the rifles to the enemy
We do not say that this last has been done;
but the story of the Tribune's informan
clearly implies it. When Eastern clergymen
undertake to play bowie knife and pistol with
border ruff ans, they are pretty sure to get
worsted. Their strength lies in the arts of
peace and the principles of religion Had
they stuck to these, and had the emigrants
done so likewise, the present troubles would
not have existed. The pride and passions of
the South and South West would not have
been reused, and Kansas would have been
peopled by an overwhelming majority of Free
State men. Who can doubt it,"
