We clip the following interesting entries
from the Senate proceedings Of Dec. 18th. It
viii be seen that Senator JonE, is preparing
the ground for the accomplishment of the pur.
poees which he indicated in his letter to us
September last. The opponents Of General
Zones deny him the possession Of talent or in.
aucnce, but we submit his successes as western
man in securing extraordinary benefits for his
constituents, to the consideration Of the coun-
try. and respectfully ask, how man devoid Of
ability or character could possibly have done 90
much for state which has had but three Rep
rcsentatives besides himself7
We DO not often 60 Into rapturcs over any
public nan, but it is proper that every citizen
of this State should acknowledge the merito-
rious labors of one the hardest working and
most Fortunate rublic servants that any constit
usncy can boast of. Senator Jones failure to
b. reelected this winter, will suit the political
views Of many and crafty the personal i'll

FROM WASHINGTON.

The news from headquarters is not very cx-
citing. DR.. Fitch of Indiana had tilt with
Douglas in the Senate, the former taking what
is called administration grounds" the latter
defending his position with his usual skill and
unusual spirit. Frederick of California and
Stuart Of Michigan have spoken on the side Of
the Senator from Illinois. II is thought by
many that the Kansas Constitution will be re-
turned for ratification by the pcoplc-.his gives
the victory to Douglas. Mr.. Buchanan is said
to be growing more and more jacksonville in
his bearing towards those who doubt the infalli
bility Of the Cabinet. Gen. Jones. it will be
seen, has introduced bill for the benefit Of
our railroad and though the present session will
be an unfavorable one for grants of any kind,
we predict, Notwithstanding, that success will
crown the efforts of our influential and ener-
getic Senator. -...
