TURNING GERMAN EMIGRANTs AWAY
FROM Us.-From a letter dated
Frankfort -on-the- Maine, Jan. %, '56,
received at the U. S. Department OF
State, the Washington Union makes
extracts to show that influences are
effectively at work to turn the Ger
man tide of emigration from the Uni
ted States to Australia. Among
these influences Know Nothingism is
of course principal. Speaking of the
efforts made last year by the agents to
deter Germans to the United States,
the writer, who is an American, says:
= Sand ] am sorry to say that these,
fadded to the baneful effects Of the
Know Nothing movement, lave pro-
duced results greatly to our disadvan-
tage. Whilst America feels perfectly
Indifferent about German opinions,
England and France are anxious to
create favorable impressions and to
secure friends in this part Of the con-
tinent. France expects her minister
to give splendid entertainments, and
gain popularity and influence. Under
the patronag GOETHE English, a paper is
to be established here, to advocate
English interests, emigration to Aus
tralia, and the like Another party
isdirecting emigration to Chill; and
every part of the globe seeks laborerE
from ,over-peopled Germany, except
the United States. Unless something
be doneto restore our prestige, we
shall be deprived every year of a lasge
amount of actual cash capital, and a
still more vanable amount Of prodnc.

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

In the Senate, yesterday, after We went to
press, the House bill to amend the Nbounty
land bill Of March 8, 1855, was referred.
The pending resolution to print ten thousand
extra copies Of the Presidents Kansas mes.
age was then taken up; and Mr. Geyer hav-
ing explained-with proof of the statement
that there was no truth in the charge that
ex-senator Atchison had gone over into Kan
sas armed, to control the election there
Mr.. Senator Wilson reiterated the charge
on the authority of General Pomeroy. Mr.
w. continued for the balance Of the days
session, arguing the questions involved in the
State affairs in Kansas.
In the House, debate was continued on a
motion made by Mr.. Stephens, to recommit
the resolution, reported by Mr.. Hickman from
the Elections Committee, with instructions to
report the facts or testimony on which the
said committee asked for power to send to
Kansas for persons and papers to enable them
to dispose Of the Kansas Territorial delegate
election case.
The motion to recommit was sustained by
Messrs. Stephens, MilIson, and Taylor, and
opposed by Messrs. Washburne of Me, Dunn,
and Hickman.
The question being put, it was decided, by
the casting vote of the Speaker, not to recon-
mit-yeas So, nays So; the Speakers vote in
the negative making tie.
And then they adjourned.

Proceedings Of To-Day.

In the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Brown presented
a memorial from number of citizens of Wash
ingtop, protesting against the eDcroachments
on Government property in this city by pri-
vate companies, and particularly against the
act of the Alexandria and W ashington Rail-
road Company, in laying down rails across
and along Pennsylvania avenue in contempt
Of the authority of Congress; and also against
what are understood to be the further con-
templated encroachments Of the said company;
referred.
After the transaction of some morning bust
ness, of no particular public interest
Mr.. Crittenden asked when the Senate's
Election Com mittee wonld be ready to report
on the Illinois contested election case-that
with reference to the seat of Mr.. Trumbull.
Mr. Butler explained that members of the
committee desired further time for the inves-
cation of that case, and that consequently
he could not say precisely when the desired
report would be presented.
This explanation led to a debate, in which
Messrs. Butler, Crittenden, Toombs, Toucey,
and Trumbull, had participated, ere We went
to press. ......-...-..-...
In the House, after the introduction and
reference of sundry bills, the regular order of
business was called for
So the question was put on the pending mo-
tion to lay on the table the resolution t0 au-
thori1e the elections committee to send for
persons and papers in the Kansas contested
election case; which was not laid on the table
yeas 81, nays 20.
The question then REQUIRED on agreeing to
the resolution; which was agreed to-yeas II,
SO
Mr.. English, who had voted in the afirma-
tive for that purpose, moved to reconsider that
vote.
Mr.. Washburne, Of Me-, moved to lay that
motion on the table; not laid on the table
yeas 81, nays 73.

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

Inc Intefltgeneer is barren Of editorial this
morning. However, its editor cannot avoid
taking advantage of the opportunity afforded
70 poke fun at the Union, by the Introductory
OF the latter journals leader of yesterday
That paragraph is as follows:
The dangers which now disturb the fra
ternal relations of the two sections of the
Union are the legitimate consequences of
single false step taken nearly FORTY Years
ago."
vi 1t the Intetitgspcer says:
We purposely omit the name of the fortu-
nate journal which has hit on a discovery that
leaves General Smythes key to the Apoca-
lypse far behind, and also the antique event
70 which the solution refers, because we mean
to reward with the best set of Chinese nuzIle.
the lucky man who shall be able, in three
goesses, to name one or the other"
The Union criticises the speech delivered
yesterday, in the Senate, on Kansas affairs,
by Mr.. Wilson, dissecting it with great gusto
and severity, and concluding that it was a
mere rehash of what that gentleman has been
In the habit of saying on the stump on the
same question. The editor draws the conclu-
sion, from the Generals remarks, that he is
"Pnaucsly personal responsibility man.
LII so, the violent accusatory and denunciatory
character Of his speech will doubtless achieve
for him more business in that line than he can
cock pistol at from now until next June.
The speech il. question was indeed a novel
enort for the Senate chamber, it's characters.
tics being altogether those of stumps whereat
there is no fear of reply. 1t will hardly be
week before some fellow Senator, taking ad-
vantage of his mistake in the character of the
place wherein he essays to ply such argu-
ments as he relied on, in criticising his effort
will demonstrate, even to his satisfaction,
that the style of stump-speaking that suits
purely abolition gatherings at the North is
truly unfortunate when essayed in the United
states Senate chamber.
