dispatch from Washington, dated Goth inst,
says
The intense excitement occasioned here by the
telegraphic dispatches of the foreign advices by
steamers Atlantic and Asia, has been allayed by
the assurance that there is nothing in the Govern
ment dispatches, since received calculated to d.
minish the hope that our differences with England
may be practically arranged, although our relations
with that country are not materially changed since
the advces received by the steamer Canada.
Mr.. Buchanan probably left England on the 20th
on tour through the Continent.
Mr.. Dallas will soon receive written instructions
relative to his mission to England his intercourse
with the government having hitherto been of a
verbal character.
The Government dispatches from England show
that many of the speculations and assertions Of
the British press and statesmen are untrue. Nor
is there ground for the rumor that angry alter
cation between Lord Clarendon and Mr.. Buchanan
had occurred. 1t may also be as confidently as
serted that no formal proposition had been made
by Great Britain to arbitrate the pending differ
ences. Under the present circumstances it is be-
lieyed that our government would not accept that
mode of adjustment.
The response of the President to the resolution
of the Senate, calling for the documents in the
British Enlistment case will probably be sent in
tomorrow, and will show gross inaccuracies in the
foreign press and public men relative to the true
state of that question.

The 22d February i'm the Massachusetts
LEGISLATURE.

1t is little strange that a body evincing such
dsloyaty to the Constitution as the Legislature of
Massachusetts should pay a very marked respect
to the memory of Washington, whose bravery,
wisdom and patriotism established the government
and the liberties they are endeavoring to destroy.
On the odd Immediately after entertaining resolu-
lions of such fanatcal character that on the sa-
cred day they were offered they should have been
secuted from their presence, the Senate Joined the
House of Representatives to commemorate the
birth day of Washington. The President of the
Senate presided over the convention of both
members of the State Government, attended by
invitation.
The President, after stating the object of the
convention, Ito pay just and proper tribute of
respect and veneration to the memory of him
whose name will ever be commensurate with the
limits and duration of this republic" remarked
that whether or not it be true that all crises in
the affairs OF nations bring with them the men nee
essary for their solution it cannot be questioned
that the allwise Ruler of the universe did in the
infancy OF this nation, raise up the Man required
TO lead her armies to victory, and to build up a
government which should be, in after time, the
hope of freedom for the world And it becomes US
now, in this public msnner, to acknowledge His
Providence, and humbiy to implore his continued
protection and guidance that we may so use the
priceless institutions which are ours to transmit
them untarnished and unimpaired to those who
shall come after us therefore request the revey.

fact, the South's factors-while they our farm

The South would be willing to be 'down-trod-
den precisely in this way, and we venture to say,
would be content with the legitimate profits of such
an operation without desiring to steal her neigh
bors' property into the bargain.

The Rumored Explosion at tho Black

NOR Of an explosion and the death of two men
thereby, at the Black Heath Pits. We have q
letter from Mr. JOB ATKINS, the efficient Mining
Agent Of the Pits, in which he states that here
has been no such explosion. He supposes the ru-
NOR grew out of the negligence of miner who
burnt small amount of gas in an upset, by which
he was slightly burnt but slight the affair
that a miner few yards distant did not feel
the conclusion. Mr.. Atkins adds:
IAN explosion of serious nature could hardly
occur at these mines in their present condition
from their small extent, and the manner in which
they are ventilated and worked"

ENGINE HOUSE ON THE MOUNTAIN TRACK
BURNED-We learn that on Sunday morning be-

the mountain track, on the west side of the noun
tain, was burned, together with the turning lathe
and other machinery The two mountain en-
gines-called climbers-the Baldwin and the j. r.
Anderson, were in the house, and sustained some
injury, such as the burning of the wood work upon
them, and some injury to parts of the work ing ap-
paratus. The loss engines is estimated at 81 OOO
the total loss at $4,000. The fire is believed to
have been the work of an incendiary, as there had
been no fire in the house during the day The en-
gnes were promptly placed in the hands of the
workmen, and will be repaired in few days-one
in week, the other some time longer
