might be mixed. 1t has been proved not TO destroy

PROFESSOR AcAsslz.-We copy the following
from the Paris letter in the Courier des Etaes
Cnis
The literary world is much occupied with the
magnificent offers made by the Emperor to NJ.
Agassiz, the celebrated naturalist, who is q nat
uralized American, to induce him to accept the
chair Of N. L. Orbigny, in the museum Of the
Jardin dies Plantes. The sum Of hundred
thousand francs as the salary of the Office and a
seat in the Senate it is said, have been offered to
the illustrious and modest scholar, to overcome
his refusal. Like the ancient sage, will the mod
ern Republican refuse these offerings, more Sc
ducing than those Of Artaxerxes And which
would do him the most honor, his acceptance or
his refusal?"

The AMESDE.-Mr. Kcitt, by unanimous con.
sent of the House, made q personal explanation
He assumed all responsibility for the violation
of the dignity and decorum Of the House, on
Saturday morning. He, he said, was the aggres.
sor, and he alone. He expressed his profound
regret for the occurrence.
Personal collisions, especially in a legislative
body, were reprehensible, if possibly avoidable.
He could not say whether or not blow was di.
rected at him. He was not conscious of having
received one. He wished to make to the House
whatever rcparation he could, by this expression
Of his regret for what had occurred.
Mr.. Grow said that lie had been taught in his
youth that fights among men were disgraceful>
His mature judgment had approved the teach
ing. Yet the right of selfdeteuce was dear to
him.
On Saturday morning, for the first time in his
life, he was engaged in a personal encounter.
He expressed his righ at its occurrence, and
rendered his apology to the House.
The House then lat twenty minutes before

TIE Washington Union of the 9th insant,
after stating the action of the Senate and House
upon the Lccompton Constitution on Monday

eve may now anticipate early action by the

body admitting the State into the Union, and
pass it, as soon as it can be got through the de.
lays of debate. Thus it will 60 to the House,
wholly untrammelled, where we anticipate its
passage beyond doubt"
We are disposed to believe with the Union,
that a Senate bill for the admission of Kansas
under the Lecompton Constitution will pass the
House. Gen. Calhoun, the President of the
Lecompton convention, who is now in Washing
ton, it is reported, states that since his arrival
there, he has received information which settles
the question of the election on the 18th of Janua.
ry, in favor Of the Black Republican party. If
this be so, the admission of Kansas under the
Constitution she has presented will be an empty
triumph to the South-a real advantage to the
North, and many Northern Representatives thus
far opposing it, convinced of this, may vote for
the bill which the Senate will pass to admi. ler.

"Several of our subscribers at post Offices above

that State. The paper is sent regularly to David

he informs US that he has not received paper in
three months. There is wofuI neglect somewhere"
As Mr.. Welons complains of the regectful man
agement of the post Offices in North. Carolina, and
designates my Office, will take this method Of
informing the gentleman that far the charge of
wofu neglect of the post offices in North Carolina is
concerned, it is utterly false and very unjust For
the Christian Sun for David Fuquay is received at
this office regularly; and he, Fuquay, requested me
to send his papers to Mr.. A. W. Belts store, which
I have done regularly. And if he, Mr.. Fuquay will
apply for his papers where he directed me to send
them, guess he can get them. Therefore do hope
that no more so unjust charges will be preferred
against the Post Offices in North. Carolina.

who have been fortunate enough to enjoy peep at
the 9th volume Of Kosmos which is still under his
it in the least yield to the four volumes which pre-
ceeded it. Humboldt himself Is said to be Of opin-
ion that he will die next spring, just after having
completed the last Of the task he has undertaken.
But his friends who observe him speak difenently,
and are bold enough to predict that this time ie
will prove to be altogether in error and that very
different celebration from that which he anticipates
will next year take place in his house"
