The total number Of men shipped at the
United States Naval Rendezvous in Philadel-
phia for the year 1855, was $50. They we're
seamen, ordinary seamen, and few appren-
tees. About one-third Of those presenting
themselves we're passed, and received into the
service. The increased pay in the navy, with
three months leave Of absence, after cruise,
the abolition Of corporal punishment, have
made the naval service much sought after, and
gives the Government the choice Of the best
men.

From the Richmond Wing of the 9Th inst.
Proce edings Extraordinary.


AT what purports TO have been "a regular
meeting of the combined councils Of the Ma
tional American party of the city of Richmond,
held on the lst of January, 1856, the following
resolutions, which we find published in the
National american, are said to have been
adopted:
"Resolced, AS the opinion of this council,
that "the agitation of slavery should cease
The rights of the South are plain and papa'
BILE, we'll defined and understood, and we be-
lieye they should not longer be treated as open
questions We will maintain our guaranteed
constitutional rights, and our right of property
in slaves. We believe the continuous agitation
of this subject is made by selfish politicians for
personal and party promotion, and is hurtful
to the South, the institution of slavery, and the
permanency Of the Union and therefore we
are opposed to the introduction into the Ma
tional American platform of this or any other
agtating question, calculated to distract the
harmony of our party, or endanger the success
of our principles.
"Resoloed, AS it is well known that our dis
tinguished fellow-citizen, the Hon. John M.
Bolts, was among the first to advocate the
policy avowed by the National American party,
it is but an act Of simple justice to declare our
confidence in his principles and admiration of
his talents and, if he should be called to pre-
side over the destinies of the nation, we are
fully justified in declaring that he will bring to
the task devotion to the principles we cherish,
an enlarged experience, profound sagacity
and commanding talents, which none in the
nation can be found to excel or perhaps to
equal and that we heartily respond to the ac-
ton of the Triangle Council and American
Union Legion of New York, which have ex-
pressed their preference for Mr.. Bolts for the
Presidency"
I We have but one word to say in reference to
this action " of the combined Councils of the
National American party of the city of Rich
mond." And that is, that it is a clear, unequi-
vocal, and shameful, misrepresentation of the
opinions, sentiments and principles of more
than nineteen-twentieths of the thirty -fve hun
dred American voters of this city. And what
is more, it is palpable misrepresentation Of
the voice of the entire American party of the
State, as interpreted by the American press of
the State, with single exception, and as ex-
pressed in the resolutions of the American
members of the Legislature, which were pub
lished in this paper week or two ago. In
word, the reported action "Of the combined
councils Of the National american party Of the
city of Richmond" is a deliberate and unmiti-
gated fraud upon the vast majority of the Anne
rican voters of the city, and contrary to the
well-ascertained and Observation-Disclosures
sentiments of the whole American party of the
State
From the judgment of the combined coun-
cils,h represented by fifty or sixty individuals,
the sworn liegemen of John Minor Bolts, we
boldly take an appeal to the people.

R From a correspondent, from
this city to the New Orleans Crescent,
we make the following extract, in re-
ference to the action Of the Senate on
the contested election:
But it is a fixed fact, however, that
sixteen Senators, mot even majority
of that Immaculate body.) have elect
ed three Senators to represent the
Parish of Orleans, serving the next four
years. A proposition was submitted
and urged to adoption, to send the
case back to the people. This was also
voted down by strict party vote
Proclaim these facts to the people. and
let them know who they have to re-
present them.
The debate on the main question
was interesting indeed. 1t reminded
one very forcibly of times long past
of scenes that we read of in history,
when the PREJUDICE convict was brought
before the terrible inquisition to 90
through the pitiful mockery Of trial.
Messrs editors, the blood fairly curdl-
ed in my veins when saw the Sena-
tor from Rapids, a foreigner by birth,
the especial champion of the Anti
American party, expounding Ameri-
crn law to an American Senate, on the
trial of three native-born Americans.
If he had reflected one moment, and
considered how falsely he was repre-
senting those who sent him there, a
common regard for decency would
have closed his lips.
! Sir, it would have done you good to
listen to the able and logical arguments
of the distinguished Senator from ST.
James, Mr.. Berault. And what would
have been your feelings after listening
to the remarks of that gifted Senator
from Ascension, Mr.. d. F. Kenner !
He was listened to with the most pro-
found attention. His review Of the
circumstances of the case, was truth
full, plain and convincing to and un-
prejudiced mind. His allusion to the
ridiculous rumors in circulation res
pecting the Thugs" was one Of the
most able, appropriate and scathing
efforts that has ever been listened to
in the Legislature Of this or any other
State. Mr.. Kenner is surely man
ofgenius and power. But all was Of
no avail
"He that is convinced against his will,
Is Of the same opinion still.
It's proved in this case. The ques'
ton was pressed, though many gentle.
men were anxious to express their
views on behalfof the prosecuted
The iron rule was enforced and JUS
tice was overslaughtered.-

MILE PARoD1, STRAcKoscH 4 20.
The Hall Of the House Of Repre-
septatives was filled to its utmost ca.
pacity on Tuesday night, to listen to
these performers OF worldwide re-
nown. We can add nothing to the
celebrity Of these artists and have no
power to detract. For this reason any
opinion either way, would just be labor
lost. To say that Parodi sings Sweet
w." does not signify anything. Her
voice descends from the compass Of
the roaring tbunders down to the mel
low warbling Of the nightingale. Did
we desire to produce an enchantment
such q one as to entice the souls OF
men out of their bodies, We would en-
ploy Amalia Patti and Parodi, to
screte themselves behind serene and
MARBLE some melody together. 1t would
be pleasant to watch the effect on an
auditory of rocky mountain savages.-
To be honest, however, we do not like
their selections. Some of the operate
snatches are overAowing full Of ex-
quisite melody, but as general thing,
there is no more music in them, than
their is in the voice Of apig under a
fence. As to Mr.. Strackosch himself,
if his fashionable fame and name did
not proceed him, he never could get as
much applause in the country. where
people make no pretentions to silken'
nerve-strings than boarding school
Miss at an examination. His foun-
dering dashes and splaches at the pi'
ano are anything in the world but
music, and the stuff he plays, it is
blasphemy to call mus'c. We make
no doubt that Mr.. Strackosch can play
if he would, since his whole time is
devoted to the piano. But we advise
him to take to the kettle drum or the
triangle if he wants to please the an
sophisticated. AS to Signor Lonardi
he had better turn his attention to
something else, than singing Greek to
Trojeans. Every one Of his efforts to
take LOFTY fights in song, only serv.
ed to knock US down and down again
to the very last step Of the ridiculous
