Dlea-At their residence in Jefferson county. August 9th, 1856, after an illness of few days, MARY PAYNE infant daughter of CHARLES F. and SUSAN c. CHURCHILL, aged ten months
 This little babe was the crowning bubble in cup of domestic bliss that broke ere the lip had passed it. Her short life, with it's sweet temper and free spirit, had come as the restless glancing of a birds wing, or young sum- beam to the gladdened earth. To her two little brothers she was the brightest gift in the lap of early daylight, and to her parents and kin dred she was the object of the tenderest adora- tion. She sleeps now, tired of all her playing, her dimples nestle for long rest in her smiling cheeks and the shining azure slants from the half-shut lids, but the light that beams upon them is the light of day ight only. The heart is cold beneath the lovely form that seemed scarce made to die, but we know that her soul is happy-that saints are keeping their calm watch and that angels arc weaving her im- mortal crown
 ''We will bury her under the messy sod, And one long bright tress will keep; | We have only given her back to God Oh wherefore do weop!n

 DEAR SlR-I have deemed it proper and inst 10 make the following statement:
 At your request, called vesteadav at near . o'cobk as your friend upon Hon. Mr. Bur, lin9ame-that being the first opportunity had oi meeting him and of delivering your note.- Alter he had read it, informed him that was requested by you to urge that meeting should take place at the earliest practicable moment. suggesting that aiternoon or this morning at 1 o'clock, and hoped that it would suit his con venience
 further stated that you had supposed that all differences between you and himself had been adjusted; that he (Mr. Burlingame) had re-opened the matter, as you supposed, for a personal dliHculty, and that you were anxious to have 1t ended without delay. He replied. That IS the feeling of gallant man, and Brooks is brave man." That he would have to look out for friend and had none in his mihu at that tune, and perhaps he could not be ready Tor meeting at as early an hour as YOU requested. also impressed upon him the ne- l ceSSlty ot entire secrecy save with his friend: and further requested that he or his friend would communicate with me at my seat while the | House was in session, or at my room after its adjournment; and, as he had the right of se- lec;lng the place for the meeting. and such other arrangements as are usual upon such oc- caslons, that he would have the kindness to let me know, at as early an hour as was convenient when an where and what it would be. Last evening, about II o'clock, the enclosed note from MT. Burngame was placed in my hand by the Hon. l.. D. Campbell. The place of meeting designated in said note is so far distant. and would subject you to so many hazards of arrest, and also to a jurisdiction without the limits of the United States, that, as your friend, ad- wise you, without hesitation, to take no further notice of the matter
 am, sir, very respectfully, your obedent servant, JOSEPH LANE
 Hon. P S. Brooks.

'oo"''JCo", ouIy O1' The Senate confirmed the appointment of Col. Geary as Governor of Kansas, vice Shan non, resigned.
 The House had the Kansas election case un- der consideration until the hour of adjourn ment
 Washington. July 29. SENATE-The internal improvement bills on the calendar were considered.
 The bill for the construction of new harbor at New Buffalo, Michigan, was rejected, and those for the construction of new harbor at the mouth of the clinton river, for the con- pletion of the harbor of St. Joseph, and the piers in the harbor of Monroe, were, after de- bate, passed. Adjourned.
 HoUsE-On motion of Mr. Doty, the House re-considered the vote by which was referred to the committee of the whole on the state of the Union, the bill to annu certain acts of the legislative assembly of Kansas, and secure to the citizens of that territory their right and privileges
 MT. Dunn submitted substitute, recognizing Kansas, and providing the usual territorial ma- chinery. Provision is made for freedom of speech and of the press; test oaths of what ever kind are prohibited, and cruel or unusual punishments are not to be allowed; all criminal prosecutions now pending in any of the courts for treason, or for alleged violation or disregard of what are usually known as the laws of the Legislature of Kansas, shall forthwith be dis. missed, and every person thus deprived of hi. liberty released.
 The bill also restores the Missouri restriction provides for the encouragement of settlement and of education and repeals all parts of the Kansas N ebraska and other acts in conflict with this bill.
 Mr. Sneed moved that the bill be laid on the table. Motion lost by v against 83.
 Mr. Dunn's substitute was then agreed to and the bill, thus amended, passed by a vote of S8 against "A. Recess until P. M.

Tur RAILROAD SLAUGUTER-The disaSt

THE RAILROAD SLAUGuTER.-The disaster on the North Pennsylvania railroad seems to be the climax of railroad horrors. Anything more terrific than this slaughter and burning of little children, the imagination of man never con ceived. This "massacre of the innocents" will perhaps be remembered more than nine days. But will any means be discovered to prevent the recurrence of such accidents in future? We doubt It. It Is scarcely year since, in New Jersey, one of these wholesale railroad butche- ries appalled, and mortified the nation. But it passed from memory, and no method has been devised to increase the security of the travelling public. Things have got to such pass upon many of our railroads that man ought not to leave his home for twenty miles without mak iug his will. Yet these evils could be remedied, if adequte laws were passed, exacting heavy pecuniary damages from the companies in every accident of life or limb caused by carele5sness or neglect of duty--Rtchmond Dispatch
