An Eagles Feather.

The Washington correspondent of the
Alexan lria Sentinel relates story about a
leather dropped from the wing of an eagle
at the feet pf Southern Senator, who had
it forwarded to Mr.. Buchanan to write his
inaugural address with. II Lancaster In.
tsAtyencer indorses the story, and says: "Sen-
ator Brown of Mississippi, is the gent eman
referred to. he quill is now in the pos.
session of DIR. Buchanan, at Wheatland
where W; saw it on Friday, d, in accort-
ance with the request of the gallant Sena-
tor il will be used by the President elect in
wiring his inaugural address"
the Baltimore Patriot somew hat spoils
the romance of this story by giving the true
version. 1t says:
Senator Brown was visiting friend in
the neighborhood of Washington, who ha.
in u cage ine bald eagle. While his friend
was exh. biting it To his guest, tae imDrison-
ed bird droppel from his wing feather
which Senator Brown picked up, excIuming
he would forward 1t as present to Mf. Bu-
chanan. On his return t, Washin gton. he
met Mr.. Seward, aud, after relating the in.
cldent, told him he intended to send this
feather from an eagles wing to the Presi-
dent elect, that he might appropriately make
use OF it in writing his inaugural address.
'Humph" responded Seward quietly
in his dry way-'an eagle--a caged eagle
SLAVE eagle!'
"Wnat a world of meaning is cou:hed in
those lew, but significant words, aud how
completely they destroy the romance Con-
cerning the Esge's feather"

A Rencontre in the House.

Quite an excitement was produced in tht
House of Representatives this forenoon, il
consequence of Mr.. Slough, a member ron
Cincinnati, striking Mr.. Caldwell, member
from Ashtabula, with his fist, in the face
The facts, as they have been told to US are
as follows: Several days ago Mr.. Slough
introduced resolution to ask the opinion
of the Attorney General whether the mem.
bers of the Legislature were not legally
entilIed to thei. per diem and mileage during
the recess from last spring until the meeting
of the Legislature on Monday week The
resolution had been laid over, but was pres =
ed to a vote this morning, and the yeas and
nays were called upon its indefinite post
punement. While tn. Clerk was calling
The roll, Mr.. Slough and Mr.. Cad ell, whose
seats are near together, entered into a Con.
versaton in regard to the matter, the sub.
stance of which will be found in our report,
which ended with Mr.. Slough striking MIR.
Caldwell blow in the face. This produced
quite an excitement in the House Mr..
Caldwell made bis statemont, and Mr. Slough
made few remarks in reply. A committee
was ordered to be appointed by the House
to investigate the matter, which the Speaker
will probably announce this afternoon.
We shsll wait with interest Tor The COM
mi,tee's report, upon which, we presume,
the House will take some affirmative action.

FURTHER FROM NICARAGUA.

Nav Or EAKs, Jan. Is Gen. Henniug-
sea was rriRfJrced on the 9Th at Granada
alter seige OF nineleen days he succeeded
in driving the enemy before hin with loss
OF 400 men. Gen. Henuingsea's loss is
200. The town was vacated BY The enemy
ON learning of the approlch Of the forces un-
der Walker.
There were 900 recruits waiting at Punla
Arenas to join Walker, and a steamboat
was repairing 10 take them up the rIver.-
The recruits mad determined to start as SO IL
as The boat Could be got ready.
A special despatch states that just as the
Texas was ab ut to start, messenger arriv-
nd from Walker stating that he had app:e-
hended sam thing Wong from The delay IN
lie arrlvdf'of recruits, and having m DC rap
iG movements he su ceeded in recap.nrlEg
the tort of gan Carlos, which had been Ia
ken by the enemy, and was coming down

all before MIN.
The Litter port on OF this dispatch IS doubt

caraguans give contradictory but generally
rather dismal accounts. The capture on
San Juan river was effected by an American
named Spencer. formerly mate on one of the
Companies boats, and 800 Costa Ricans, be-
sides all the river boats of forts CASTILLO and
San Carlos, took both of Walkers large lake !
steamers, leaving Walker only "a schooner
and few gun boats. Several officers. pas
sengers on the Texas, say Walker is gone
,ase, but others are hopeful. A meeting of
Walkers friends, who came on the Texas.
numbering 80, reported Spencer in the pay
Of Vanderbilt. The British assisted him
with gun boats; 900 men under Lockridgp, at
pnnta Arenas, attempted to retake boats ly-
ny there, but the British commander gave
iotlce that he would not allow it.

ILLNESS OF MIR. GJDDI\GS

WASHINGTON, Jan. l7.-Mr. GidGings
when earnestly engaged in discussing a pri-
vate bill in the House this afternoon, was
seen to put his hand to his head and fsIlinto
his seat, being seized with strophy of the
heart. The members and spectators were
at once thrown into the highest state OF
alarm. The Speaker and numerous repre-
sentatives crowded around, crying out to
those who pressed around Giddngs to stand
back and give him air.
Amidst the excitement an adjournmen nj
ensued- Mr.. Giddirgs was removed to the
lobby, where he was attended by seyeraI
members, who are physicians, for some miu-
utes senseless. he was restored to con.
scIousness but evidently suffered intensely
He was then carried on sofa to the Speak.
er's room, where several city physicians
were summoned, and much attention be.
slowed on the patient. His condition il
considered extremely critical.
(LATER.)
10 O'Clock P. M.-Mr. Giddings was re-
moved from the Capitol to his lodgings thi.
evening. The prospect of his recovery i.
