CoNGREss.-The time of the Senate has
been occupied during the week pretty much
by the discussion of the partizan political as
pect of the Presidents Message. There is no
doubt that he chose the occasion as good
opportunity of getting political diatribe
spread over the country, in newspapers oil
every class, under the cover Of an Annual
Message. The Republicans are severe upon
it for arraigning their party for reasonable
designs, and have the better Of their oppo-
nents IN the argument. The President, it
seems clear, transcribed both propriety and
duty. lie should have delayed his political
harangue till he got out of the Presidency on
10 the stump.
In the House similar debate has been
kept up. The point Of the whole matt is
the Slavery Question; in the late campaign
but little attention was paid to anything but
that subject, md ringers !" 'niggers !! ~
"niggers ! !" seem likely to engage the
whole Of the attention of Congress.
Mr.. Whitfield, the delegate from Kansas,
was admitted to his seat On Tuesday by a
vote of 10 to l0S, all the members from this
State voting for his admission, except Mr..
Stewart, who was absent. r..

westwardly about mile north of Bel Air, it
crosses the Little Falls Of Gunpowder to the
head of Long Green valley, near Watkins
tavern. After penetrating the dividing ridge
by tunnel one thousand feet in length, it de-

Mr. EDIroR:-1t appears to me quitea good
while, as the Yankees say, since your cores
pondents in this region have catered for The
Wing. And now when look abroad on the
frosted landscape, al nature seems so dcartll
and drcar, so barren of any, and everything
lifc-like, that almost fear to make the at
tempt. In the language of the bard;
On the waste hill no forms of life appear
Save where. sad lagg1r d of tho autuinnal train.
Some ngc-struck wanderer g!cans for e,rs of scat

That old tide of life appears, just now to
make its diurnal ebb and flow, wholly unin-
fluenccd by any external excitement. Res.

i'm, at present alike of the plod'ling laborer
and the gay pleasure seeker. This usually
gay community has been entirely innocent of
committing anything approxmating to II

may well exclaim 80 Temporal! q mores %

We have. however, in lieu of anything
more substantial, fine moonlight evenings,
and our sentimental misses and romantic
young gentlemen. can give their undstracted
admiration to Luna's vcstal charms.
AT this paragraph your young readers may

up the cpistle. The scraps" as I'D. Fly
says are all 'gathcrcd in, and are found to be
exceedingly short potatoes excepted. Corn
will average from half crop, to middling.
Apples in this part of the country were not
considered plentiful, but pretty fair sprink-
ling of that luscious fruit, peculiar to this
latitude, has been the result of the last season;
a sufficicncy at least, TO enable the frugal
housewife to present her guests with the usual
tempting variety of delcacics through the
rapidly approaching festival season.
| But alas those time honored festivals are
cast among the shadows and rubbish Of the
past, by the onward march of the practical
Anglo Saxon. Business is his mission; and
life is too short to perform it in. "Life is for
labor and Death is for rest" are ideas he
sucks in with his mothers milk.
BY way of variety, however, we had bit
of spree, at an Irish settlement in the eighth

on last Sabbath week. The parties wore
brought before his Honor Squire Cummings,
who, after hearing the case fined them fol
breaking the Sabbath, and bound them ovel
to appear at Court.
