ThiEt J--Fourth Congrcss--First Session.

WASHINGTON, July l.-Senate.--Mr. Cass said that
very grave transaction has occurred on the Pacific
coast according to the accounts just received into
which an examination ought to be made Governor
Stevens, of Washington Territory, has proclaimed
martial law there and arrested the Judge of the Dis
trct Court and sent him away to some distance and
closed the Court.
Mr. Cass said he did not desire to prejudice the
cases. but it certainly seemed to be great assump-
ton OF power. He submitted Il resolution calling on
the President for the facts in relation to the matter
which was read and adopted.
Mr. Collanore submitted minority report from
the Committee on Territories on the Kansas question
which was read and ordered to be printed.
House.-Mr. Barclay moved a reconsideration of
the vote by which the Kansas bill was rejected, and
in assigning his reasons for doing so said that he was
informed that warrants in this District directing
the arrest Of Ex-Governor Reeder for treason. This
was regarded tnrcica and he was disposed to re-
buke ii by now voting for the BILL in order to protect
the people of Kansas.
Mr.. Houston expressed his regret that the gentle
man had changed his mind either in consequence of
persuasion or other means.
Mr.. Barclay replied that he had acted on conser-
vatve sense of duty, and would not be intimidated
by the lash.
Mr.. Houston disavowed any intention to impeach
the integrity of the gentleman, nor did he censure
him He moved to lay the motion to reconsider on
the table.

FROM Turks 1sLANp.-The New York Courier
and Enuuirn Of tie lst inst hog ths folln,,,s

FROM Turks 1sLAND.-The New York Courier
and Enquirer of the lst inst, has the following in
teresting intelligence from that Island:
The Royal Standard (Turk's Island), of May 3lst,
says: The weather this week has been fine, and
much of the rain water which fell during last week
has already disappeared. The demand for salt con
tnues to be very limited occasoned no doubt by the
large quantities of European salt in the New York
market, which by last accounts, was selling from 20
to % cents per bushe We have on hand about $780,
600 bushels; price Is cents, with a downward ten
dency.'
A correspondent of the same paper, writing from
ST. Christopher, says: The legislature of the Island
Of Nevis have lately passed act to repeal all duties
On imports and exports and to abosh the tonnage
dutieson all vessels. 1t is pretty generally supposed
that the passage Of this act as well as Of the recent
Alien act, copy of which send yor, will havea de-
cided tendency to improve the business of the Island
OF Nevis as the island is thereby virtually constituted
free port. Vessels from the United Stltes will have
great facilities for disposiug their cargoes from the
fact that's cargocs may be landed exempt from
duty. The tonnage duty beng also abolished will
necessarily relieve the vessels OF an onerous tax there
by enabling owners to dispose of their cnrgoes 1T
lower rates. How the heavy tax real estate in the
Island will he borne is yet question but the fact
that majority Of the members OF the legislature are
holders of this kind of property to large amount
would seem to indicate that those most interested arc
ready for it,"

Louisiana Intelligence.

By yesterday mornings mail we have received late
dates from all parts of the State from which we have
selected the following items Of interest:
There was cowardly assassination committed at
Shreveport on the 26th ult. The Caddo News, pub
5hed at that place, gives the following account of it,
On Thursday night about 0 o'clock, while crossing
IeNas street, near the market, John r. Starck, was
shot by some one unknown 1t is stated that he
was heavily armed and had threatened the lives of
several gentlemen with whom he had had some mis-
understanding. The transaction in the main, is
clothed in mystery. Starck was doubtless a danger
Gus man, but it would have been more conmendable
had he been dispatched under different circumstances
We lament the necessity, which rendered the act
necessary, but it is generally believed his menaces
provoked the assault.
The Red River was reported tC be very low at
Shreveport; no boats having arrived there for some
days. The Dongherty got up on the 25th, but only
from the falls. Business was very dull. The crops
i'll that region are in very bad condition account
Of the drought, not than half crop is expected
to be made.
The Shreveport Gazette says:
Death has heen busy with the little ones around u.s..
Within the last three weeks about fifteen children
have died in Shreveport and vicinity, principally from
Whooping cough
From the Democrat of the same place we learn
that the telegraph between that place and Alexan-
dria expected to be in working order in the
course of ten days. and the whole line through to
NatcheZ in a month or so.
The West Baton Rouge Sugar Planter, of the 5th
nst.s says:
A tlatboat loaded with lime took fire in the river,
just above our office, during the storm Tuesday
last, and while the crew were endeaVoling to eXtiil-
guish the flames sqmll of wind struck her and
turned her bottom upwards. We could not learn to
whom she belonged, or whether any one was drowned
by the disaster.
The editor of the Point Coupee Echo had been
shown several bolls Of cotton fully open. He says:
For this parish it is quite unusual occurrence to
have cotton opening at carly period of the season
and we presume that there are not many of plant
ers who can give such evidences of the advanced
stages of their crops. So far, the cotton continues
free from worms, but they are making sad havoc witt
the young corn.
We learn from the Natchitoches Chronicle that the
river at that place was at a low stage This paper
says:
! From Alexandria we hear that even the lightes
class Of low water boats cannot get the falls,

gaton assembled last night, at the Protestant FMS
COP c9pai Church Of the Epiphany, at the corner of
ohea,nut and Fifteenth Streets attracted thfther hv
an an adVeTtsement in the papers Of Saturday that the
~ Dndley A. Irng, would discourse on the
ment created more sensation than usual from the fact
that 1ne Episcopal denomination az body. have
always dlscountenanced the Introduction of such
1opcs mo Ihe pulpit as well as from the circum-
stances that the Rector since his Connection With hi
parish, has generally preserved @aence On fuestinna
having the most remote alusion to public agairs,
The minister having selected an appropriate text
briefly gave his reasons for introducing the subject
into the pulpit, and then proceeded to denounc in an
eloquent strain and straight forward manner, the
outrages in Kansas and at Washington, the a9gres-
slons Of the slave power the miserable trucking Of
the orth to the South the horrors Of savebreedne
and concluded by urging his congregation to exercise
their rights as reemen at the ballot-box in stayjpe

Tor the suffering emigrants in Kansas. The sermon
was listened to with breatess attention and without
interruption until the speaker spoke of slave breed

merry church-Warden rose from his pew and as
one Of the original church-wardens, entered his

gested to the gentleman who had nterposed lis o.
lections, to point out the wrong which he had com
mitted in using the Sabbath as the time, and an Epis
copal pulpit as the place. for the utterance of anti
slavery sentiments.
Mr. Tying suggested, too, that it would have been
as well to have waited until he had concluded his re-
marks before interposing any objection to them If
ne Mr.. L. was wrong he was open to correction,
pnt ne would as minister of Jesus Christ, express
ms views of the great exciting topic of the day Mr.
lying was perfectly calm throughout the Unusual
scene and he appeared to be entirely unmoved during
the decided sensation incident to the interruption Of
Or. Morris. We should state that at the commence
ment of the remarks of Mfr. Tying several members of
the congregation left the church
After the sermon was finished, the members of the
congregation gathered III knots to discuss the unusual
event. While many of them congratulated the minister
upon the decided stand he had taken. We under-
stand that the matter will be referred to the Bishop
Of the Diocese. "SSh

you CAN Turn IT. BUCHANAN.'-We are indebt-
ed to gentleman of high character for the following
anecdoe Of that veteran statesman and patriot Henry
Clay and the politician, James Buchanan:
JUNE 18th, l456.-Dear Sir Your notice of Mr..
Buchanan, few days since, reminded of an anec-
dote told me of him by Mr. Poinsett Of South Caro-
lima, some years ago.
A party of gentlemen were dining together in
Washington, among whom were Mr.. Clay and Mr..
Buchanan. Mr.. Buchanan had just been appointed
Minister to Russia, and was making some inquiries of.
Mr. Clay about court Dress its character, cost, ETC..
Mr. Clay told him that he had one, for which he had
no use, and he would give it him. NJ. Buchanan
thanked him, but said as he had it, it must be
tarnshed. Mr.. Clay replied, in that manner which
peculiar to him, ''Oh, but you can turn it, Bu-
chanar." The discontinue of Buchanan COM
pete as the conversation took place just after Mr. b.
had turned his political coat in most unblushing
manner Mr.. Clay's rebuke should be placed before
the people. 1t gives the character of the man in a
sentence. His chameleon nature units him for the
crisis. In the present complication of affairs, need
in our Chief Magistrate rare union Of moderation
with frmness-a union exhibited by Mr. Fillmore
with singular felicity during his administration The
hour has come, and the mann-but not the man to
whom Mr.. Clay could say, g You can turn it, Bu-
