LAND WARHAsfs.- Notwithstanding the demand
for Land Warrants continues quite limited, there
has occurred some Improvement in prices since
our last quotations. This Improvement is owing
to the fact that there are but few warrants coming
into market, country and distant dealers prefsrrng
to hold them up for better prices. II this prac-
tice is generally adhered to, on the partof holders
of warrants, we may fairly calculate that prices
viii not range much below one dollar per acre at
any time, yet frequent fluctuations in the market
may be safely anticipated, at least until the West
ern Land offices are opened for the public entry Of
warrants.
Our dealers generally are paying, to-day, the
following rates
For le0's and SOS "a cents per acre.

Letters from General Smith.

One of the letters produced by Mr.. Cass yester-
day, in the Senate, from General Smith to the War
Department, is dated Fort Leavenworth, August
0. He says he would not notice the reports in the
newspapers of committees applying to him for
protection, and his refusal and other such things
If he did not see that the objects for which such
reports we're circulated were carried out by men,
bers of Congress in resolutions of inquiry. He
pronounced the whole gross fabrications, and hav-
ing no foundation, any of them. The troops had
not done any actfsince he had been there, which
looked like an attempt to interfere with the cti-
zens, except in guarding persons charged. with
treason and in custody of the Marshal
The second letter is dated the 1lth Gen. Smith
states that he had received letter from Governor
Shannon asking him to take the field with the
whole disposabe force in the Territory to prevent
theJngress of Lanes party by the northern boun-
dairy of the Territory. He statas that the informa-
tion given to the governor had been so exaggera-
ted, and was to his knowledge so incorrect, that
he declined making movement that would pro-
duce as much disorder as existed six weeks ago
Capt. Wood, wifi his company of cavalry is up
on the northern frontier, and shall depend on his
reports to govern my action. Some OF the COM
panies along Kansas river were sent by the COM
manding officer at the Governors request, to
break up the camp of armed men at several places
he designated. On the arrival of the troops, not
only were no camps found, but they had never
existed there or anywhere else in the neighbor-
hood. know each party Is trying to engage the

SENATE.
THURSDAY, August %.


Mr. CRITTENDEN having given notice the
other day, that he would at q proper time ask the
Senate to consider his BILL for the pacfcation of
Kansas, proceeded at length to explain its provis
ions.
A bill to fix the time for holding elections in the
State Of Delaware, for members Of Congress- was
passed.
Mr.. HUNTER, from the committee of confer
ence, reported that they were unable to agree
He said that 1t conceded, on all hands, that if
the House was full, all the members being present,
there would be majority in favor of bill that
would meet the appreciation of both Houses. A
message was here received, from the House, inform
ing the Senate that they further "insisted" upon
their amendment
Mr.. HUNTER, after some further remarks in
explanation of the measures proposed by the COM
mittee on the part Of the House, moved that the
Senate " adhere"
Mr., CRITTENDEN then proceeded further to
explain his bill. In the course of which, he al
luded to some remarks made by Mr.. WILSON, TO
which that gentleman excepted, denying that he
had, on the authority of telegraphic reports made
any statements in regard to the murders said to
have been committed in Kansas. ?
Mr.. @. said that the gentleman had, on the floor
Of the Senate, buried many in the virgin soip' of
Kansas, and exhibited their bloody winding-sheets
in this Hail.
Mr.. WILSON again asked him to yield the floor.
Mr.. CRITTENDEN said. "No, sir! You have
not acted like gentleman! cannot yield"

Mr.. WHEELER offered resolution that the
Committee of Ways and Means be instructed to

The bill is nearly the same as that which was
recently lost, emitting the Kansas proviso
The House refused to second the demand for
the previous question; the Speaker voting in the
negative, thus making tie. s....
Mr.. WASHBURN, of Maine, having said that
he desired to debate the resolution, it went over
Mr.. VAIL offered the same resolution of Mr.
WHEELER, but it having been discovered that Mr..
VAIL borrowed it from the Clerks table, the Speak
er declared it to be out of order.
A message was received from the Senate, In
forming the House that they further insisted on
their disagreement to the Kansas proviso and ask
ed Committee of Conference. The House then
further insisted, and Committee Of Conference
was appointed. That Of the Senate consists Of
Messrs, HUNTER CRIrTENDEN, and BIGLER, and of
the House, Messrs. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, STEPHENS,
and SHERMAN.

The Wings of Baltimore 10 the Whigs OF
the Union.

The Wings of Baltimore met in Convention last
night to take measures to prepare for the holding
Of the Wing National Convention in that city on
the nth Of September. A cordial feeling was
manifested to unite in giving to the Wings of the
Union, who viii assemble there on that occasion
for counsel and defberation, warm and hearty
welcome. The address of invitation and welcome,
was unanimously adopted. It speaks in earnest
terms Of the desire Of the Wings OF Baltimore
that they may again have the opportunity, as in
1910, of throwing open their hearts and homes to
their political friends from abroad, Of relighting
the flames of Wing patriotism and determination
that then burned 80 brightly. The invitation is
sincerely given, and the welcome VIII be warm
one.
At the same meeting several committees were
appointed to carry into effect the objects Of the

THE FILLMORE RANGERS OF NEW 0RLEANs.-At
the first meeting of the Fillmore Rangers of New
Orleans on tue goth instant, $500 persons were
present, we learn from the papers of that city.
The Crescent remarks:
This meeting had not the usual elements which
compose Democratic mass meeting. 1t was not
a conglomeration of all the incongruous materials
that can be brought together, like the witches
stew in Macbeth it was not composed of the mob
and the vagabonds and the riffraff of great city,
but of the earnest and business men, who hold the
welfare and safety of the Union and the rights of
the South dearer than all party triumphs or any
qualification of party prejudice. To look upon that
vast crowd, and see everywhere scattered among
the countless multitude of heads large proportion
of the business and responsible men of the city,
the impression could not be resisted that it was an
evidence Of the invincibty of the American party
in New Orleans.

On motion of Mr. CLINGMAN, of North Caro-
lina the House took up, and passed the joint reso-
luton of the Senate, authorizing the purchase and
restoration to the British Government of the ship
" Resolute," late of the British navy. ,.
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Ohio, reported that the
committee of conference on the disagreeing votes
of the two Houses, on the army appropriation bill
had been unable to agree, and submitted some
remarks in defence of the position assumed by the
House. In conclusion, he moved that the House
further adhere to its disagreement to the amend
mendment of the Senate.
Mr. STEPHENS, of Georgia, replied to Mr.
CAMPBELL, contending that the question as to the
validity of the laws of Kansas was question for
the courts to determine and not the Congress Of
the United States. He moved that the House re-
cede from its disagreement to the amendment of
the Senate.
The question was taken, and the motion to re-
cede was disagreed to: Yeas 81, nays 100.
The vote was then taken on the motion to adhere,
