GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.
GEoRsErowN, Feb. IL, 1856

GEoReErowH, Feb. IL, 1856.
A telegrsphie communication reached our
city yesterday about noon, bringing the very
unwelcome intelligence that the lee and freshet
had swept away the whole of dam No s.,
and part Of dam No. upon cur canal The
first named Of these dams is situated LOG miles
from Georgetown, and miles above Williams.
port and the second IS miles from Georgetown
and miles above Harris warehouse or Mer.
cersville. Each Of these dams are yery i'm
portant feeders to the canal and their loss We
presume will tend to pretty we'll break up
navigation upon those portions Of the canal
which receive their supplies of water by them.
All that portion of the canal lying west of No.
must be rendered almost II not altogether
useless, which will doubtless work a suspeu.
sion Of the coal trade, which Is greatly to BE-
deplored ut the present time. To reconstruct
either Of these dams on anything like q per.
manent plan would cost a very large amount
Of money, and if the company had all that IL
necessary at their command we presume that
the work could not be completed in less than
one or two years time. Upon the whole We
consider It great calamity to the District.
From all we can learn, there is at present
more excitement in cur city upon the subject
OF town politics, or the coming election than
was ever known before. Every individual
seems to be deeply interested in the matter,
and no one can be found who is not partici.
pator either on one side or the other. Even
old citizens who were never known before to
interfere In such matters are now actively en-.
gagged In the campaign The Anti.Know Moth.
ings held large and enthusiastic meeting on
Monday night, when they were addressed in
an eloquent and telling speech by their an.

spIsTTOF THE MORNING PRESS.
Tn. I,f,Utesrcer thus accounts for the in-
d;,,o.,,,on manifested yesterday by the SEN
.tss Judiciary Committee tdhave referred to
than the Indiana contested election case:
arhi, committee il composed entirely Of
members whose political views coincide with
those of the dominant party In the Senate,
and -, during the discussion Of the previous
day, sllusion had been made to the fact. by
those who had opposed the immediate sdmis.
sion of Mr. Fitch to q seat In the Senate, the
members Of the Judiciary Committee asked to
be excused from serving in the examination
Of the present case, preferring that select
committee should be raised for that purpose,
In the composition Of which the minority OF the
Senate should be represented. Upon this
subject the discussion assumed somewhat
discursive rapge, relating to the general Gus
tom of the Senate in the reference hitherto
made of contested or disputed elections, as
we'll as TO the political organization OF the pre-
sent committees into which the Senate ls d.
yided. We need hardly say that those who
protested against what they considered q par
iissn composition of the Committee on the
Judiciary expressed the fullest confidence In
the equity, intelligence and probity which
presided over its deliberations, In Justice to
the dominant party Of the Senate, il is also
due 20 add that the present organic alton of
the committee Is not so much the result Of
original appointment as Of those changes in
the politics Of the day which have brought
about harmony Cf TOlitic al sentiment smoDg
it's members-a harmony which did not exist
ut the date Of its composition"
The Union says, with truth and force, with
reference to the recent confirmation of the Hon.
d. A. Sn alley, to be the U. S judge for he
district OF Vermont:
The nomination by the President of Hon
ID. A. Smalley for United States Judge for the
district Of Vermont, vice Judge Prentiss, de-
ceased, was unanimously confirmed by the
Senate yesterday, and without the usual ref
erence. ibis unusual compliment was alike
due to Mr. Smalleys admitted judicial quail
ihcations and his high personal char acter ; and
We feel quite sure that our readers throughout
the Union will feel highly gratihed with this
fsttering mark Of appreciation, on the part Of
the Executive and the Senate, in favor of cue
whose patriotism and abilities have been so
recently and go couspicuously brought before
the country"
There Is one slight mistake in this para
graph, originating, doubtless, through our par
agraph Of yesterday. Tha, is, Mr.. smalley's
confirmation took place more than week ago,
and on the day en- which his nomination was
sent in On arriving here, few days since,
he found himself not only nOmin sted bet con-
frmed.

tation.
The coroner. at an early hour, sent for Mr..
Ecke' 70 the Tombs. directing his deputy to
bring him in a carriage in order to preserve
him (EckeD from the insults of the people.
At 2 O'Clock Mr. Eckel was brou ght down
from a room whore he had been kept since his
arrival IRON the Tombs, and placed in the
witnesses chair, when he was examined By
Judge Caprop.
Q When did you last see DR.. BurdeIl on
the day preceding his death
Mr. Eokel handed 10 paper, saying, as be
did so, " That is AL have to say -
Mr.. Clinton.-If the coroner will read that
paper
Coroner, Sharply The coroner will do bis
duty, sir.
Judge Capron then put question, and Mr..
Eckel remained mum, and handed the coro.
ner paper, which he read, In which Eckel
| declined to answer any question, upon the
ground that the coroner, in the return 70 tn
writ of habeas corpus, had declared tina. he

The Express, Of Monday afternoon, says:
Mr.. VIM Burdell, who is citizen OF Co.
lumbus, Ohio, called on Mr. Patterson this
| morning with letter Of introduction from Mr.
Ball, in which he states that DR. BurdeII left
large estate and died without issue and
that Mr. VIM Burdell is next of kin If let.

administrator the letter goes on to say, you
ought Immediately to examine the papers Of
the deceased and see If there is will if not,
to have letters Issued to the brother
This will, Of course, bring all the question
connected with the estate of DR. Burdell, his
alleged marriage, &c before the surrogate.
To judge from what is now known of the case,
it will prove one Of the most interesting ever

Proceedings Of To-Day.

ceeded to tie transaction Of business. q mes
sage was received from The House announcing
that body's readiI ess to proceed with tie
counting Of the e!et tOrai voter, and they tthe
members) accordingly went over into tee House
hall.
In TIE House, after some proceedings to
ascertain that there was a quorum present,
leo members answered to their names. All
further proceedings under the call we're then
dispensed with.
The Chair laid before the House sundry de.
partmental and other documents, which we're
referred.
Among them was a communication from the
State Department, recommending an appro-
prlation OF $500 for the suppression of the
African slave trade, with accompanying docu.
ments
Also, memorial from the Legislature of
New Mexico in regard ia the claims of citizens
of that Territory against the United States.
Mr. Barbour moved to reconsider the vote
by which the House had referred to the Post
Office Affairs Committee the Submarine Tee-
graph bill which said motion was entered on
the journal.
On motion of Mr.. Jones of Tenn, a message
was sent to the Senate notifying that body of
the readiness Of the House to proceed with Ii Q
special order of the day.
Shortly afterwards, the Senate entered the
House, preceded by their President and Sec.
rotary, and took the seats provided for them
around the area in front of the Speaker
chair, Mr.. President Mason occupying scat
on the Speakers platform, on the Speakers
right hand.
The teliers fer the occasion (Messrs. Bigler
of the Senate, and Jones of Tennessee, and
Howard on the part of the House. then COM
menoed to read the certificates from the sew.

In the course of these proceeding, Senator
Cass addressing the presiding officer, suggest
ed the propriety Of dispensing with reading OF
aught but the simple result Of the vote in
each case, except where the readiug of the
whole letter might be called for
But the latter ruled that it was ne ,essary 10
