crlt. started for the field, but Mr.. Bocock
of Va, attempted to hold him. A few sharp
words passed, and Mr. Montgomery was in
a moment BY the side of his friends.
After its termination, there was 7 good
natured explanation between Messrs. Grow
Potter and the Washburnes on the one side,
and Messrs. Davis, Barksdale and Lamar on
the other, in which each and all protested
regret for the misunderstanding which had
led to the individual collisions between
them.
The intolera5le insolence Of Ksitt on
this occasion, is only one Of many instances,
calling for his summary punishment and |
am heartily glad that it was inflicted in the
fair and manly mode adopted by Mr.. Grow.
1t is the subject of general regret, shared
by many Southern members, that it was not
more complete.
On a motion to adj ,urn after the occur
renee, Mr.. Crawford iof Georgia, declared
that he hoped the house would never meet

NEW ORLEANS, fe0. IL.
There were eleven days of fghtin, in the
City of Mexico before Zeroalaga received
20 out of % votes in the Council of Nota-
bIes, for Provisions President. Puebla and
a few other points have recognized the new
government, and :he whole country is in
confusion. Jeravez, Parodi Dobbado and
others oppose the new government. They
expected to march against the city, and
preparations are being made to meet them.
More fighting is inevitable. Alfaro has
pronounced al San Lewis IN favor of Santa
Anna as Dictator. Zuologa has issued de-
crees restoring the ecclesiastical and mill.
tary jurisdiction, and repeating the laws OF
1856, which declared the property of eccle.
sias;ical corporations alienabIe, annulling
sales of property made under said laws. 1t
is reported the clergy has loaned the new
party a million of dollars. Advices from
Sonora show a state of civil war. Advices
from Northern Mexico state that Cows
CARA and V;daurra have settled their diff.
c%ulties, and state that NeuvR Leon, Taman.
lipas and Coabrui!a will act in unison in
the coming conflict.

Disclosures of J. d. Williamson.

JOHN BULL BRIBlHe MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
special Dispatches TO the New York Tribune.I
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. 1858.
The Tariff Investigating Committee nave
got through with " iiiiamson, and he starts
Tor New York 20 morrow morning
The Committees asked him il he had paid
any money to Horace Greeley for corrupt
purposes. or to affect the action OF Con-
grsss, or of any member of Congress, upon
the Tariff or upon any other question, aud
if any member of his firm or of the Bay
State or II idd.esex Company has paid ffUr-
ace Greeley any money for such purposes.
Had he or his firm, or any OF them, paid
$40, 900! He replied hat he had not, nor
had any member of mis- firm or any one else
to his knowledge, paid Mr.. Greeley any
money Tor any purpose whatever.
He was asked the same question about
Mr.. MatteSon, and made the same reply.
Had ne paid money to any memberi No.
Did he know anything about money having
been paid 10 members of Congress by any-
body for such purposes! He replied that he
had in past years, from lS4l TO 1856, but
not during the last Congress.
The Democratic members of the Commit
tee objected TO hearing about remote trans
actions, and the witness was discharged.
Williamson informs me that if permitted,
he would have testified that Europe an manu-
lecturers and tie British Government had
authorized Sir Henry Bulwer and others to
expend two millions of dollars to affect our
tariff and TO establish a free-trade policy.
More Than S70O,0OO had actually been expen-
ded 10 buy The members of Congress, or to
defeat their election when they could not
be bought.
Williamson also int;mates that he could
disclose corrupt or disreputable transactions
OF our own Government, in connection with
the negotiation of The recent treaty with
New Grenada.
He particularly duplicates Mr.. Buchanan
and Mr.. Cuss.
% p. Mr.. Williamson claims to have
been the secret Commercial Agent for this
county of the Earrings, and other English
and French mercantile and manufacturing
houses, from IS4l to 1850. He declares that
II he catches Speaker Orr, or any member
of the House, in New York, he will prose-
cute them for kidnapping and false i'm
prisonmei.t. He was taken out OF his bed
at midnight.

MARTIN svILLF.-We made a short visit
to Martinsville one day last week, and as
this is not an everyday occurrence, why of
course we must tell what is going on. In
point Of, business, Martinsyille IS a common
sufferer from the hard times. Everybody
does not seem to be a: work This cannot
be helped well now, but there il a better
day coming for Martinsville. As an evidence
of this we cite her public schools, which is
in an excellent condition. Everything is
reduced to such perfect system, and such
universal interest is taken in its progress
that it cannot but do well. 1t is under the
care of Mr.. Kirk assisted by six teaches, we
visited two departments, and judged the re-
ma'nder by them, which impressed US very
favorably indeed. They have a good library,
which would he greatly improved by The
supporters contributing some $500 to its
enlargement. II would be a good instrument
The school buildings are good, but we dc
not like the surroundings. Why not have
the street IN front SO that the children car
get to school without wading in the mud
getting their feet wet, and carrying mud by
the peck into the school-room, thus making
it not only damp but dirty. Thus health is
endangered, and the refinement and goot
taste Of the children 1t stake.

inspector" OF the Courier M inquirer
thus sketches the fight:
The presumption from the beginning was
that the attack upon Mr.. Grow was premed-
itated, like the outrage upon Mr.. Sumner,
and Republicans were seized with a desire
to punish Keitt. Had the ruffian been found
alter the beginning of the disturbance he
would have been severely handled. Mr..
Barksdale was collating Mr.. Washburne OF
Illinois; seeing this, G. C. Washburne OF
Wisconsin bore up to the relief of his
brother. Mr.. Lamar Of Mississippi ranged
up by the side of Mr.. Barksdaic, and Mr..
Potter opened in artistic sty lie On the whole,
installing Mr.. Washburne of Illinois for the
enemy. Mr.. Potter saluted him roughly on
coming into action; but correcting himself,
charged upon Mr.. Barksdale's wig with one
hand and his countenance with the ether,
Mr.. Barksdale received two severe blows,
but whether from Mr.. Potter or Mr.. C.. c,
WashburDe cannot be determined. Mr. Pot
ter was thrown off his balance by Mr..
Barksdale's wig coming off and remaining
in his hands, and his blows probably failet
of their subject. Mr.. Potter was slightly
marked under the lett eye, Mr.. c. G.. Wash
burne had his thumb sprained, and Mr.
Washburne of Illinois had his throat com
pressed. Mr.. Lamar, it is stated, drew hi
p~en-knife, but with what purpose cannot..b,
known. When Mr.. Davis of Mississippi
felt himself struck in the face, he drew
weapon in self-defense, but quickly replace
it.
Mr.. Mott Of Ohio, a Quaker member muc
respected, and Rev. Owen Lovejoy of Ill
nois, were thickly engaged, showing, holt
ing, choking, and crovding friends and en'
mics by turns-as peace-makers. Mr.. Mon
