Although We have kept our readers we'll post.
cd as to the doinga Of Congress by Telegraphic
dispatches and otherwise, they are often
enquiring, "what they are about at Washing.
ton."
Congress has been in session over six weeks,
and thus far but very little has been done. but
they now manifest disposition to 60 to work
which, if they do, they may yet do considerable
i n the remaining seven weeks. The Tariff re-
modelling will have to be attended to, which will
involve considerable discussion-the Ocean mail
serv,ces--the Kansas and Utah admissions, with
the optside issues, and the Minnesota Bill, with
its supposed or real fraud and lobby Influences;
some buster about Central American affairs, and
old England, and then the appropriation bills,
will constitute very nearly the programme of
operations to'egMe of between this and the 4'h
of Narch--on all of which our readers will be
kept duly advised.

SINGULAR Loss BY FIRE IN A RAILROAD CAR.
"A very singular instance of loss of baggage by
a railroad passenger, occurred ON the Erie road.
A lady on her way from Newburg to spend the
holidays with her friends in New York, had her
wardrobe in carpet bag, which was placed in
rack over her seat and not far from one of
the ventilators in the top Of the car During
the passage there was smell of burnt cloth,
which could not be accounted for, though it
elected considerable inquiry. On arriving at
Jersey City, the lady attempted to take her car.
pet bag, when she found that instead of her rich
silk robes and fine laces and snowy white night
cap and gown, she had bag of ashes and
mass of black cinders. In short the whole of
her travelling wardrobe was burnt to finder, but
SO confined had been the fire, that the cloth
had charred without blazing, but all was totally
ruined. Upon examination the conductor con-
cluded that the accident had arisen from spark
entering through the ventilator, and Gained the
ladys disturbed mind by assuring her that he
thought the company would make up her loss,
and asked her to make out list of things de-
stroyed with their value, which she did to the
amount of sixty dollars, and to which he ap.
pended his statement. and that was presented
at the Company's Office, Erie Buildings and the
Treasurer at once handed her the amount of
the damage

THE SUMMARIZE TELEGRApH.-We learn that
the British Government have guaranteed the
Atlantic Telegraph company patronage to the
amount of seventy thousand dollars per annum,
and have fixed the maxemum rate at shllings
sterling per word, or one dollar of federal mo-
ney. This will be divided between the stations,
as follows: From London to Cork, six pence
across the ocean two shillings and six pence,
from Newfoundland to New York, one shilling.
We hope our government will at least be equal
ly liberal. The British Government will survey
and sound the whole route in April next. In
July two vessels will leave the English coast
with the cable-a mile of which weighs a tom
After reaching point equi-distant from both
termini, the cables will be joined together
and sunk. The vessels viii then part company,
the one proceeding to the Irish coast and the
other to the American, paving ont the cable as
they go along. The whole work Of laying the
wire can be done in week. or two weeks a. the
outside.

Boston, JAM y.
Gov. Gardner delivered his message to the
Legislature this p. m. 1t is lengthy document,
but mainly devoted to home affairs He COM
mences with a review of the late presidential
election. remarking that no where was the dis
appointment greater than it was to a large pro-
portion Of the citizens of Mass, and that no
where was the magnitude Of the issue more fully
appreciated. A different termination earnestly
INDUCED yet herewith firm reliance on the
ultimate triumph of the great principles we cher
ish. Our people acquicsce in the result in the
proper spirit of our institutions upon the Kan.
sas question.
The Governor says although it was freely as.
serted and widely blowed that the question of
freedom or slavery in Kansas would be decided
upon the result of this election, and, although it
terminated in a different manner, the probabili-
ty of her admission into the Union as a free
State would have been materially strengthened,
yet recent developments give strong hopes hopes
that the recent Chief Executive officer of that
Territory, in distinction to his predictions, will
administer the laws fairly and impartialiy, will
protect rghtful settlers in their quiet rights and
will resent the interruption Of non-residents for
illegal purposes,
Such are the convictions of those on the spot
most capable ofjndgine, and most effectualIy
adding in the accomplishment of the so desired
purposes. The Governor is forcih!y American
in commenting upon foreign voters. He says
still so far as the decision os the present cleo
ton is final so far the action of the present is
inevitably developed in innummerable inconcei-
vable consequences and influence in the future,
and so far as step has been taken which may
require generation to efface.
HOur citizens have the bitter assurance ofknow-
ing that that decision is fixed, and that step ia
ken by the votes of alians unnaturalized, en-
trely ignorant of our institutions, iaYolyed in
this stlpendops issue, while this horde of for
eign born voters has thus stricken down noble
cause which appealed to the moral sentiments
and enlightened patriotism of our country
only affords another confirmation of fact
whice our whole history estab ishes.-
That the foreign Aote with hardly an exception,
always has been and in the natural way will and
must be attaches to that party which under high
sounding generalites on the abstract rights Of
man always practically cooperates with slavery
at the South, and banishes from its platform the
moral questions, noble instincts AID more en-
lightened sentiment of the age.
The Governor says the educational industrial
