Congress, at So per day.

A little passage at arms, when the
arms are wit, badmage, and repartee, is
occasionally great relief to the House,
galleries and lobbies, as it breaks up the
dull, dry, tedious monotony of stereotyped
voting and speaking, and prevents the
faces of all from becoming fixed in their
elongation and fatuitous expression. Such
passage took place on Monday; the COM
batauts being Mr.. Pennington and Mr..
Kennel.
Mr.. X. had, on Saturday, when inter.
rogatories were propounded to the candi-
dates, jocularly proposed to ask them whe-
ther they believed in future state, and
if so, whether it was free state or slave
state?
Mr.. z. said, in reply, that he did be-
lieve in future state. This he learned
from the Westminster catechism; but he
did not understand that it was wholly free
or wholly slave. He learned from the
same source that there were two states di-
vided by great gulf, not exactly COM
promise line, the one state Of beati-
tude, the other very different one and
as the latter was said to have very hot
climate, he thought it must lie south of
the line, and as no one was exactly free
there, he thought it must be slave state;
while the other, lying ON the other side
of this line, the state of beatitude, must
be free state. These remarks excited
and called forth continued peals of laugh
ter from all parts of the Hall.
Mr. p continued amid roars of laugh
ter, and said there was said BY some to be
third state, which was called Purgatory,
into which he thought, on Saturday, those
who we're going through purgation, had
fallen but as he had never found any
thing in his primer about this state, he
must confess himself Know Nothing.
Mr.. K. said that on Saturday, the gen.
tleman had remarked that be had got as
far as the "effectual calling,' (when called
upon to answer interrogatories) and he
now wished to ask if ne could see "his
election sure?" Renewed laughter.

Ma EpfroR VIII you please allow
us space enough in your paper for brief
notice of the Alleghany Male and Female
Seminary. This Institution, situated in
the town of RaiDsburg, Bedford Co., Pa.
offers rare facilities for obtaining good'ed-
ucatiop, not only without daramena either
to the heuith or morals OF the student, but
with far promise Of improvement in both.
The building is large, commodious, and adj
mirably adapted TO the purpose for which
il was erected. The principal, the Rev
John Pollock, is a graduate Of Dickinson
College, and, possessing, as he does, good
natural endowments, in conne5ion With
sound scholarship, is we'll qualified for the
position he occupies; while his excellent
lady, no less competent, gives lessons IN
music and drawing, so that instruction can
be had il all the branches taught in our
best Serninaries We were present at the
close Of the last session, and witnessed tie
examination and exhibition, which were
very gratifying 10 me, and highly credita-
bis to all concerned.
! The next session, of I've months eontin-
uance, vii, commence on the 21st inst:
and, as the cost Of boarding aud tuition is
but srife more than the actual cost OF
boarding at home, We trust this young. but
promising Institution sill receive a liberal
and generous patronage.
