A wreckiog schooner also gees down.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 2G.-The Delta asserts
that the south has already opened the Afri.
cau slave trade. and that a regular depot for
Mississippi has been established on Pearl
river, where cargoes have already beeo re-
ceiveI and sold. The vessels generally use
the French flag, because British cruisers will
not trouble il.
WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-It has been ascer-
tanned from official documents that it Is no
longer probable that General Scott will 20

House OF Representatives, February as.
The House went toto Committee Of tho
Whole on the Indian Appropriation Bill.
nr. Smith. of Tennessee, said there WAS
A spirit of revolution abroad which. unless
checked. would eyentuate 10 disunion. For
this spirit of revolution the representatives OF
a norton OF the people were responsible,
having started il on This toor. lie was OPP
posed TO disuniOn. lie hoped II would never
happen; but be believed If the idea should
20 abroad that the disruption OF this Con
federacy was impossible, 1t would only lead
10 increased efforts 10 effect it. III. had 10
authority for saying that the rel sctien OF
Kansas because Of the slavery feature OF her
! Clnstitu ion would occasion a dissolution.-
lie would, however, tell gentlemen that If
dlsu Mon should ever come, the States, and
not Congress, would bring It about. IL that
time ever came, (which Heaven forbid J he
would be the last man TO leave his post.
lie then proceeded TO argue that Kansas
should be admitted under the LecoDptoo
Constitution. lie said that respectable Free
State men in klnsaI took no part IN the
scenes OF violence there.
Ia reply to a question Mr.. Smith answered
-"AInit Kansas and then you withdraw
the troops aud let the outlaws there cut each
others thrOats in their own way"
Mr.. Giddings.-WiIl you vote for a resoiu-
ton requiring the President to Withdraw the
troops, 10 case Kansas is admitted ?
Mr. Smith answered Yes.
Mr.. Crawford said he would have 50 voted
a year ago. Other Democrats also responded
TO the same effect.
Mr.. Glddings immediately gave notice Of a
bill directing the withdrawal Vi the army
from Kansas.
Mr.. Snith.-If | vote for the withdrawal
Of he army, will you vote Tor the admission
OF Kansas?
Mr.. Gidilngs, empta,ically--Under the
Lecompton Constiturion7 Never, never!
Mr.. Smith, proceeding, said there was no
cause for a separation Of the Democracy on
this question.
Mr.. Ii ,rris, OF Illinois. replying to q re-
mark applicable to him, said tue convictions
of his mind we're the same now as during the
Last Congress. lie objected to MIR. Smiths
drawing differences from his speech not jus
tilted by its language. He maintained then,
as now, that tae people of Kansas are not
allowed to manage thei- own affairs. lie
would defend their rights. lie denied fol-
lowing any mans lead. lie came here with
out conference with his colleagues, bot snb-
sequeutly he ascertained they all agreed
lie could not change the position he now oc'
cupied.
Mr.. Smith continued-rhe people Of Kan
sas, he said, pere begging admission, but
they are opposed by members of the House,
by the New York Tribune. Admit her and
the slavery agitation there is quieted forever.
! lie remembered Frederick p. Stanton threw
the first tire-brand into the Democratic caucus
during President Plerce's administration.
lie had now turned abolition lecturer and
mad gone North. lie hoped he would stay
there.

The Army Bill.

The Senate have rejected the army bill en-,
tircly. First fell the Administration plan OF
FIVE new regiments. Next Mr.. Davis's pro,
ject Of filling up the companies to the number
of 96 men was abandoned. The proposition
to add thirty companies was lost; and finally
all the projects for authorizing u volunteer
force were rejected.
The bill cannot be revived in the Senate.
with any hope ola practical issue. But 1t
viii be brought forward in the House, and
possibly may, 10 some form, be carried
through that body. The Committee on Mill
tary Affairs Of the House, have reported a bill
ia accordance with the recommendation OF
the War Department, for five additional req
ments. If this scheme should fail, volunteers
may be resorted to.
/, is now too late in the season to raise
and organize a pew force, whether Of regu-
lars or volunteers, in time for a spring sxpe,
ditiOn to Utah. Ii the bill authorizing il
were non enacted, there would hardly be
time to give it effect, in reference to any ne
cessity for the relief Of Col. Jobnston's com.
mand.
Some other mode for reinforcing and sup
plying Col. johnston must be resurted to-
The readiest means at the command Of the
q Jvernmeut would he to pot the twenty-five
hundred troops 10 Kansas on the march tol
Utah, early 10 April. But that could not be
done unless the Kansas admission bill should
be passed by thtt time, which Is altogether
i'm probable Wash. States.
