CONGRESS.

Up TO the present writing, has not yet orga-
nzed, having spent one-third Of the session IN
a vain attempt to elect Speaker. This body
is composed of an Overwhelming majority OF
X. Ms which is split into factions and fighting
for plunder-each faction striving to place their
especial friends in position to 'smake good
thing of it." at the expense of the taxpayers,
as developed in one of their bear-fghts in late
debate which will be found in the Gazette of
to-day. By comparing the conduct OF the ma
iority in the present Congress with that OF ST.
niar body which met at Harrisburg last win
ter, the people can have loretaste OF what
this country would come TO, should such
curse befal it as that of placing Know Nothing
ism in power, in all the departments OF Govern
ment, for one Executive term. Our X. n. Le-
gislature could not elect a Senator-Jnst as a
Congress Of the esame sort" cannot elect a
Speaker. And why? Because their desire for
spIunder'' over-rides every other consideration.
1t is now a generally conceded fact, that the
Democratic Party is the only National Party
in existence-that it is the only party capable
of administering the affairs of this mighty Go
vernment--therefore the People will promote
their own true interests, and secure the prospe-
rity oftheir children after them, by rallying at
once under its glorious Flag, which is the only
true standard Of AMERICAN principles.
The approaching Democratic Meeting will
afford good opportunity for discussing all
questions of public interest, and We hope to
see a turnout such as will reflect credit upon
the county. Wilson Reilly, Esq. will certain
ly be present, if living and well.

10 Hon. j. CLANCY JONES and Hon.
JOHN CADWALADER, two of the democra-
tic delegation in Congress from Pennsylvania,
have won golden opinions for themselves since
the opening of the present Congress; exhibiting,
in debate, degree Craftsmanship, EloqOence
and good Sense, which has elected the admira-
ton Of the democratic Press not only in Penn
sylvania but throughout the Union. Truly,
the democratic party have reason to feel proud
of such Representatives; who, we feel satisfied,
are destined to reach much higher posts of ho-
nor than they even now occupy. We congra-
tulate the country upon having the services Of
such men in Congress at dark crisis like the
present, when all the horrors of Dissolution
threaten our glorious Republic.

Two DEAD CHILDREN Forxp IN A RArL-
ROAD CAR.-On "Wednesday, after the rmigrani
train from ihe east on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road had changed cars at Altoona, the condnc-

two children, aged respectively about three and
five years. The matter was telegraphed west,
and it was asceriained that the parents OF the

Fightiag Iodigns ac1h Blood Hounds-A
correspondent Of the n. O. Picayune gives an
account of fight between Sam Jones, a noto-
rious desperate of Texas, and fifteen Of the Ii
pan Indians. He was in his corn field when
they made their appearance. but managed to
escape with an old German into hls cabin.
The Indians soon surrounded the house with
hdeous wells The old man had but little am
munition, and was, Of course, conscious that ev-
erv shot would tell When the Indians would
attempt to break in the slight door he would
shoot, and while he was loading the German
would keep them at bay, by pointing an un-
loaded gun at them through the crevces of the
house They managed in this way until the
outside the house was briStlng with arrows,
aimed at them between The logs and the old
mans powder had given out. AT this moment
the Indians retreated short distance to hold
council The bespged availed themselves of
the chance to get the assistance OF a dozen OF
bloodhounds that were confined in an out
building. Under cover of the two unloaded
guns, Mr. Jones liberated the dogs. Here was
a reinforcement the red scamps had not calcu-
lated upon, and in the tw;nkhGg Of an eve five
of the Indians were on their back The ha-
lance came to tie rescue, and soon shot all the
remainder of their arrows into the dogs, and
beat retreat, bearing their wounded, beating
off the dogs with their bows, their bnckskins in
tatters. and blood streaming from every one Of
them. After the fight the field exhibited one
dead Indian, three dead dogs. sundry pieces Of
buckskin, mingled with clotted masses of lndi-
an flesh, hundreds of arrows, aud pieces Of
bows.
A FvE-HUNDRED-D DOLLAR BiRLE.-Among

Peterson's window, 102 Chestnut street. The
paper, printing, binding, and, in fact, the whole
finish OF the book, II is believed, exceeds that Of
