 Washingto Jan. IA, 1858.
 <, The returns from Kansas, notwithstanding the manifestations of Calhoun, show Free State majority and a private despatch from Stanton to Senator Douglas says that the majority gwen against the Lecompton fraud, at the election of the fourth inst, was ovet ten thousand votes. 4 Washington correspondent of the Post says. The Mauch Chunk f;asette learns from unques. rionabe authority, that Hon. Wm. H. Dimmirk, Democratic Member of Congress from that dis irict. notwithstanding his letter to tie Philadel- phia Buchanan Administration meeting will op- pose the Lecompton Constitution from first to last. This makes three Democratic members from Pennsylvania known to be opposed to the Leconpton Constitution, the others beipD Aiessrs. Hickman and Montgomery. Some others are strongly suspected of leaning the same way. and ibe suspicion is increased since Gov. Packers in- angural address has been read and received with so much favor by the Democracy of the State. Among ths suspected are Messrs. Phillips of the Nth District. Dewart of the XIih, Leidy of the XIIih, and White Of the XVth (Gov. Packers Dis,rict). Come out handsomely, gentlemen, for you may he sare you will be doing right, and your constituents will sustain you in condemning the Lecemptoh trick. / -'rhe new Treasury Notes are not near so Ppputdt tE0 tCIrSfHVuiC ucSpntCHeS AIt sHiS city would represent.

 PACIFIC RAlLRoAp BfLL-1'he bi!f matufed by the Pacific railroad committee of tlfe Senate, and reported by MT Gwn on Tuesday. proposes to locate the railroad between the Big Sioux river and the mouth of the kansas river to San Fran cisco; alternate sections of land on each side of the road are to he granted, and $l2.50O per mile advanced on the completion of every twenty-five miles of tue road, hnil twenty-five millions of dollars are reached@-the amounts then advanced 10 be returned in mail service and in the transpor- tation of men and munitions of war. Five per cent. of the stock is to be issned. The president is to receive the bids. make the contract for twen- ty years, and locate ihe road, having view to economy and lh6 pest route.
 In tfre case of Mir. Strickland, the bookseller, some time since expelled from Mobile, for the crime of having sold copy of Uncle Tons's Cab in, seems ,Ifat Mr Strickland lately visited Me- bile for the purpose of settling np the business of the firm and collecting the debts due to it., and against whom new sentence of banishr1ent was promulgated, But the magnanimohs chivalrous citizens of Mobile have not stoped there. Mir Sic, land it seems, in again flying fnr his life, left hia wsfe behind him; and Mrs Strickland, since the ptes,nce of her husband cond rot be toTefated and to undertake it, applied herself to the collection of her husbands debts This has led 10 a new pub- lie meeting, in which Mrs. Strickland has been ordered to leav. the city. Here is new and re- markabe specimen ot slaveholding gallantry and courage. We shall soon hear, we suppose, of public meetings called all over the South to ap- plaud the actors in this proceeding, and to pre- sent them with suitable badges of honor.
