WASHINGTON, Saturday, Feb 6-1 a. m.
The House presents strange and impressive ap-
pearance under the mysterious looking yellow light
that desceDds from the pictured ceiling from the
ruddy and golden interior Of the hall. The men,
bers, worn and sleepy, are stretched in various at
titudes upontheir chairs and desks few fortunate
ones having secured the sofas. AT the sides of the
chamber they are unusually quiet, and answer Ian
gudy to their names as the everlasting call Of the
roll goes On.
About hundred spectators are in the gallery,
most of whom are lying down, and some apparently
fast asleep. One intrepid lady fingers in the gal
lsry intently watching the scene below.
The seventeenth vote on adjournment was
Yeas, 76; Nays lO2. To the call of the House
1875 voices responded.
From Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Friday, Feb. S, 1853.
All the New-York delegation has surrendered to
the adversary on the LecOmpton question: with
the single exception of Mr. Haskin. Messrs
Corning Clark Soaring and Sickles are greatly
exercised, and may finally be absent.
A great deal of comment was excited to-day con.
cerning several Republican absentees.
Senator Iverson says that Georgia is prepared for
dissolution of the Union, and will make the adop
ton of the Lecompton Constitution, without condi-
tion, strict test of her continuance. He adds that
other States are ready to cooperate
The compromise entertained by Northern friends
of the Administration, and which would obtain
some Southern support, is to insert condition in
the act of admission that the Constitution be
amended, without regard to any limitation of time,
and the Slavery question submitted anew.
The whole fllibustering of the last four hours
has proceeded from the Democratic side of the
House. because of finding their men absent and
staady nAjnritas untng dnun aAj"nrnmants The
country should unders tand that the proposition is
simply to refer the Message to Special Committee,
under the appointment of the Speaker.
This is resisted by the South and her allies be-
cause the truth may be elected through an invest
CATION, which would be suppressed by the packed
Committee on Territories
The Republicans are firm and the Douglas men
stiffened in purpose. The moderate Democrats
concede that the Administration is greatly damaged
by the proceedings
The first pitched battle opens auspiciously.
