In the Senate, yesterday, the following nomi-
nations for District officers, were confirmed
For Marshal, Wm. Seldom; for District Attorney,
p 3. Key; for Postmaster in Washington City,
VIM. P. Jones; for Navy Agent. VIM. Finn.
In the House of Representatives, the same
old story was told about Kansas matters, until
quarter past seven o'clock, p. NJ In the course
of the proceedings, James B. Clay said, that his
father was not the author of the Missouri Com
promise, as stated the other day by Mr.. Crit
tcnden. He quoted from a speech of his father
to show that Senator Thomas, ofIllinOis, was the
author of the measure. Gen. Duff Green says
that Senator Edwards, of Illinois, was the real
author of the measure, and that Mr.. Thomas in
trOduced it in the Senate, after it had been pre-
pared. Gen. Green speaks from personal re-
collection.
The Democratic caucus, last evening, did not
come to any definite agreement 1t was resolv-
ed, by the Lecomptonists, to stand by the Kan
by the anti-LecomPtonists, that they would go
in for the Crittenden substitute.
We mentioned the other day, that general
change was about to be made in the Z. S Mill
tary Uniform. An order has now been issued
to that effect The cap now worn is supplant-
ed by a felt hat, with brin 3 Ia inches wide,
and crown IA inches high, bound with ribbed
silk for officers, and double stitched around the
brim for privates. The trimmings for general
officers are: Gold cord with acorn shaped ends,
the brin of the hat loopcd up on the right side,
and fastened with an eagle attached to the side
of the hat; three black Ostrich feathers on the
left side, and gold embroidered wreath in
front, ON black velvet ground, encircing the let
tiers Q. S. in silver, old English characters
For the other claSsifcationS of officers and for
privates, there are similar trimmings, varying
slightly for each distinctive grade or class. The
change also extends to the pantaloons and coats;
but in respect to them it is confined to the trim
mings of the latter, and the stripe of the for
mer. Sibley's tent is also to be substituted for
that now in use.
The Turkish Admiral and his suite visited the
o. S. Arsenal here, the other day, by invitation
of the Secretary of War, and, among other
things, were treated to the presence of several
officers ladies, (unveiled,) trial of patent fire.

WE WISH TO CALL Tue SPECIAL ATTENTION OF
EACH ofour readers to the advertisement in an
other column of DR.. San5oras Lirer Lavigora-
tor, for in doing so we think we are doing them
favor, for this article cannot be too highly
spoken as it performs all its proprietors profess
to have it. We know of some of the worst ca
SEES of Liver arrangement, Dyspepsia, Jaundice
and General Debility, being cured by the use of
this invaluable article.
1t seems to strike at the root of the disease,
and remove the cause, thus affordinga perma-
nent cure that cannot be gained by using the
mineral preparations that commonly resort
cd to for diseases of the liver. This PREPARATION
is stated on good authority to be entirely vegc-
table, being composed wholly Ofgums that have
rarely ever been introduced in any medicine
previous to the introduction of the lnvigorator.
These gums are said to have almost fabulous
power in their action on the Liver and its sur
rounding organs, causing it to eject its morbid,
unhealthy bile, rousing it from its torpid state
and making it perform its proper functions in
the human cconOmy.-Br Branch County Demo

PARsoS BRowNLow HANDLED WITHOUT GLOVES.
The Mobile Adeortiser, speaking of Parson
l}rownlow, holds the following complimentary
language: "What must be the impression as
to the character of the Southern people upon
the minds of the ignorant masses of the North
when they behold and listen to this blackguard
Tenncsscan, and arc told that he is minister of
the Gospel, and the chosen companion of South
ern institutions, sent among them by the people
of the South? 1t was an unfortunate joke for
Southern gentlemen, as they did it, doubtless,
only for the fun of the thing, to have encouraged
this coarse brawIer in politics and religion; to
go into the North and eXpound the merits of
Southern institutions and Southern society,"
But the mischief has been done. The reverend
ruffian has already crossed the line, and the en-
emies of the South are doubtless, by this time,
chuckling at the prospect of the damage which
the reputation of the Southern people is sure to
suffer in the minds of the Northern masses
from the backguard exhibitions OF this Tennes-
sec parson"
