Douglas i'm tEsc Senate.

The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Independent, draws the following
vivid picture of the statesman, whose posi-.
tion on the Kansas question now attracts 50
large share Of public attention, when en-
gagged in debate on the floor of the SENATE.
The soubrtqaet Of the "Little Ginnt," which
he has earned by hi, strength of intellect,
and his bold and defiant bearing in debate,
is peculiarly appropriate to the man. The
writer says:
"He is very short in stature, but Of such
physical proportions, aside from this lack,
as instantly to attract the attention of a
stranger. A very large head, connected
with broad and powerfully built shoulders by
short, full neck, chest sufficiently roomy
to contain the lungs Of giant, and pair Of
short dumpy legs, complete the physical
picture of the "little giant" if we except
the brood lofty Websterian brow, and the
deep set cavernous eyes, that sparkle and
glow when excited, like miners lamps, be.
meath it. 1t is the tremendous brain power.
LOGGED in that perpendicular precpice of a
forehead, and shooting out it's fires from its
shadowed eyes, that have given him the sou.
| briquet which he will carry to his grave
When excited end in full flow Of debate,
the massive head rolls and shakes with the
emphasis Of his thought, and the huge hand
doubles until the nails indent the palm, O,
else the broad. open hand receives the blow
OF its mate, and ttGliciSes the sentence with
a stunning report. The sweat pours from
him protusely, and falls from his forehead
or is thrown clear of his shoulders by those
inimicai shakes of the head, as the rain
drops are shaken from the trees by storm
Add to this thick bushy head of black hair
and restless, uneasy feeling, which pre-.
vents his being at rest for FIVE consecutive
minutes, and keeps him moving from one
point to another in the Senate Chamber, and
my picture of the "Little Giant is com.
plete."

CINCINNATI, J'nuary 4,-The St. Louis
Democrat says that passengers arrived in that
city report the following:-On Friday, the
25th ult., news reached Leavenworth that
an engagement took place between the
troops Of Gen. Lane and the dragoors.-
The officers ordered Lane to surrender,
which he refused; tho drlgoons charged, but
were repulsed with the loss of three of their
number The dragons retired and sent to
Denver for rein!orcements. Denver ordered
three companies TO the seat of war, and it
was expected there would be blooay work -
Al soon as the news of the engagement was
received, the people commenced organising
and hurrying to assist Lane; it was expected
that before the Dragons arrived Lano would
be reinforced to two thousand five hundred.
intense exciteme mt exists among the people
OF Lawrence, who are preparing to take the
field. Calhoun had fed from the Territory.

From computation recently made, It is
calculated thht there are ia occupation 150,.
900 acres improved, and 10000. 900 acres OF
unimproved lands in Oregon. The value
Of farms is estimated at $4,000, 600, and the
total value OF live stock at $4,000, ,OOO.-
The total number of acres of surveyed
lands west of the Cascade Mountains, as
computed by the Surveyor General, is
6,705,553. Number Of acres yet to be sur
veyed 2so.40o. This land is all Suscepti-
Bile of cultivation. Exclusive of this, there
is east of the Cascade Mountains, o vas,
scope of country peculiarly adapted for
grazing, which will probably be settled and
become separate Territory or State, as the
case may be.

EamcatiOm fl the Navy.

Certain of our Naval officers have ad
dressed memorial to Congress, asking for
the adoption of a regular system of educa-
ton on board men.of.war. They desire
that schoolmasters shal! be appointed by
tie Federal Government, at fair salary, tu
superintend the instruction of the boys and
such men among the crews as are anxious
to avail themselves of the opportunity to
learn. The additional expense incurred
the memorialists think, would be dorb!y re.
paid by the rapid improvement in the per-
sOnnel Of the Navy, and the increased feciIi
ty Of shipping men and boys at cur recruiting
stations. When it is possible to obtain an
elementary English edu alton aboard ship,
a very grave objection to the enlistment oil
youth in the service will have been re.
moved; and the improvement In the inteli.
genee of crews must greatly increase the
eff cheney of our little navy.
