There is little controversy springing up between
New York and Pennsy ylvania in relation to the Che
mung river. That river rises in Northern Pennsyl-
vania, flows northWard into the State of New York
and then turning southwark flows back into our
State and empties into the North Branch of the Sus-
quehanna river. Near Corning, N. Y, the New
Workers have built dam the Chemung river
in order to turn It's waters into the Chemung canal.
That canal extends to the Seneca lake and dis
charges its waters there The outlet of the Seneca
Lake is into Lake Ontario So that the water thus
taken out of the ChemuDg river, is restored 10
it, so that when it returns into this State volume
is greatly reduced as a feeder of the Susquehanna
river, and our public improvements are I'M Jured.
Now the Chemung is public river, and its use
belongs both States for the distance 1t runs III
each But each must it SO not 10 lnJure the
rights of the other. Pennsylvania would have no
right to prevent 1t from running into New York
and New York has right to prevent it from COM
ing back into this State. The public law on this
subject is we'll settled, No Stale nation has a
right to ..run away with" river that belongs in
part to any other State nation. That is clearly
(setlIed and it is equally cleai that our New York
neighbors have violated the public law. Our State
government has taken the matter IN hand, and quite
difficulty may arise out of it.
If the New York dam is broken down, their cana
NAV be useless If kept up our North Branch may
lack water and be useless Which shall have the
river Pennsylvania has the best right. 1t rises ir
this State and by its natural course returns to this
State, where it is useful and is now in use. New
York may use it in her territory, but cannot diver
it into another channel so that we lose 1t. There il
legal remedy, however, and it will be applied.

Nix. EDITOR: Can you inform me, through the
columns OF the Organ why it is that notwithstand-
ing the large reduction in the Navy and the large
increase of vessels of war, there still remains so
great number of officers that they can receive
furloughs from the government and engage them
selves in the merchant service thus receiving fur
Tough pay from the United States, and large sala-
ries from the owners Of vessels that NAV engage
themy In addition to this am informed that, In
the absence of these officers (iD the employ Of
private companies or Individually their families are
quartered in houses belonging to the United States
This system of things should not be tolerated 1t
would not be in civil service Of the government !;
where then the proprety, justness, or right in the
naval service? If the number of officers Is so large
that employment cannot be had for the Navy, or
other legitimate service Of the government, who
pay them well and literally for all their time, re-
duce the number.
venture the assertion that not one-half the
members of the present House of Representatives
are aware that such system of imposition Is car
ried on by the powers that be. Ny principal OBJ
ject at present 10 to attract public attention to the
matter, In hopes thereby of correcting 30 gross
dereliction of public duty.
We can give our correspondent no informa-
ton on the subject Of his inquiries If any of
the naval officers are receiving their pay from
the government, and yet are engaged in private
pursuits, we presume they are entitled to this
favoritisn, by reason of their relationship in
blood, marriage, or politics, with Forney &
Pierce; or one of them. If our correspondent
can show any case in which man who is an
" American" either in the navy, army, or in
any civil position, is favored by Forney &
Pierce, we will treat him to a new hat Does
our correspondent deny that Forney & Pierce
have right to pay literally for supporting

The consummste ability exhibited by the Hon.
Humphrey Marshall, Of Kentucky, In his recent
effort to defeat the Asacham Election bill, entities
him not only to the highest rank as parlismen-
tary tactician; but what Is still more desirable, TO
the eternal gratitude Of every native citizen Of
Washington, and the thanks Of the American
party throughout the Union. Deprived of his
mastery lead, the American party In the House
would very probably have been defeated by the
powerful combination against them, Of the friends
Of Seward and the friends of Pierce.

Marshall. He stands here like . sentinel on the

Hon. Henry Winter Davis.

The speech Of this gentleman, delivered yester-
day in the House of Representatives the bill to
reduce the city of Washington into subsection to
the administration, was one of the most powerful
and eloquent speeches of the session. BY this
effort Mr. Davis has increased his already brilliant
reputation as an orator and debater, and fully
asserted his right to a prominent place among the
foremost statesmen of the country. At no period
Of her history has the city Of Baltimore, rich AZ she
has been for nearly century in great names, been
more ably represented than by the Hon. Henry
Winter Davis.

The Raleigh Register says, no man in the whole
North, not even the noble Dickinson, is so detest
ed and feared by the Abolitionists az Willard Fill
more. This results not only from the fact that he
signed the Fugitive Slave law, and was the first to
enforce it, in the very teeth of the ercest sectional
opposition, but from a consciousness on the part
of the Abolitionists that nothing would SO surely
give quetus to that agitation which is the breath
of their nostrils, nothing would SO soon shame

vative and constitutional administration of the

The Staunton indicator says that Mr.. A. H. h.
Stuart, in his speech before the Stsunton Conven-
ton made Presidential calculation" in which
he claimed for Mr.. Fillmore, the electoral votes Of
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, North Carolina, Louisiana Missouri, Califor-
MIA, Delaware, Texas, and Florida-ffteen States
These fifteen States cast l67 electoral votes viz

New Jersey I, Pennsylvania ~, Maryland 8. Kenf

lana g. Missouri 9, California 4, Delaware 3, Texas
4, Florida 8, which make total of lo7. There are
900 votes in the entire thrtyone States majority
Of which is l45. So it win be seen that Mr.. Stuart
gives Mr.. Fillmore an excess Of a majority of IL
electoral votes.

Alert pike.

The Camden Ark Herald thus alludes TO AL
bert Pike, recently prominent member of the
American party in that State:
In Arkansas. where Capt Pike has spent the
best days OF his life, and where he is best known,
all admit his genius and ability as lawyer, and
he has many personal friends and admirers, but
none 80 far as we know, or have heard, have any
faith in his ability as leader, in politics or any
thing else. Arkansas contains many monuments
of his failures, and those who know him best re-
gard his leadership Of any party as deadly to its
prospects as the shades Of the upas tree. Capt
Pike is citizen of Louisiana, and his detection
win not, in our opinion, affect the American party
in Arkansas to the extent of single vote and we
think Louisiana win 60 for the American party,
notwithstanding his opposition.

A HARD CAsE--The Parkersburg Gazette allu.
ding to the difficulty experienced by the Locofocos
in finding grounds for opposing Mr.. Fillmore, re-
marks
The truth ia, Mr.. Fillmore, we must confess, is
rather q " hard case" Almost any other man has
some vulnerable point, personally or politically,
which might be successfully assailed But his ex-
allied private character, his unyieldiog integrity,
and his consistent, patriotic and national course
while President Of the United States, are familiar
to the country, and the scurrilous and abusive
mode of warfare usually resOrted to by anti-Amer-
canism will prove unavailing
The Locos also pretend to believe that Mr.. Fill
more will not accept the nomination. Let them
not clay that fatterng JUNCTION to their souls" for
as certain an the sun will rise tomorrow, Willard
Fillmore will be the standard bearer of the Ameri-
can party in the coming contest.
Mr. Fillmore il "hard case In another re-
spect; he is not eectioneerng, and will not cleo
tioneer, for the Office. He thinks the Office should
seek the man, and not the man the office" He is
unassaiable therefore, in this respect He js con-
tent to let the public do az they think best II
they desire his services he is ready to them
at their call but If they prefer fourth or fifth
rate man, some one who runs round tho country
counting and cajolng them, and promising Offices
to those trading politicians and unprincipled dema-
gogues who are ready to support the greatest
rowdy and most INSCRIPTIONS aspirant, upon a
promise of good share of the spoils, they can
do so; he will say naught to the contrary. He
neither seeks nor shuns the Presidency. In this,
as in other things, Washington is his great exem-

When the Padre sent by Walker as Minister to
the United States arrived in this city, he lost no
time in calling Bishop Hughes, before whom
he knelt and received blessing. On rising to
his feet the Archbishop, not knowing exactly the
official position of the Padre, said " Do you

Padre bowed and replied, "He is my friend l

FIRST SESSION.

THURSDAY, May 8, 1855
After our report closed yesterday
Mr.. MALLORY gave way, without concluding
his speech, to the read ng Of the Presidents spe-
cal me sage the condit on Of affairs in Central
America.
Mr.. MASON moved to refer the message and
accompanying documents to the Committee on
Foreign Relations, and to have them printed.
Mr.. CRITTENDEN expressed the hope that no
action would now be taken on the question. The
message was of grave import, and seemed fraught
with evil consequences. This government Of Mica
ragua, which the President had thus officially :
knowledged was, as it were, but thing Of yester-
day. He referred to Gen. Jaclssons celebrated
message in regard to the recognition of Texas and
that every page of it patriotic rebuke Of the
message then before the Senate.
After further discussion by Messrs. MASON,
PRATT, and WELLER, the message was ordered
to be printed but its further discussion was de-
ferred.
The Senate then adjourned.
