1t has been said in the newspapers that
$530,000 have been paid by the Treasury to
members Of Congress on account OF their
pay from the 4th Of March until the begll-
ming of the session. 1t is DOW said this is
incorrect Nothing has been paid, and the
reason given for Withholding these arrehrsges

Speaking Of the recent course Of Com.
Pauldipg, in breaking up Walkers expcdi-
ton against neighhoriug stat, the Nation
oil Intelligeucer says There are consider
atoms of public propriety aud equity which
will suffice TO shield him (COm. 7. in the
eyes OF bis countrymen and OF his Govern
meut from all imputation OF blame for the re.
sponsibility he has assumed in the matter
Even should it appear that be has transact
ded the letter of his instructions. 1t is dIthcuIt
to conceive that he has violated their Sptra,
if the latter, as is to be presumed, was kin-
dred to that which animated the late Mes
sage of President Buchanan in his illusions
t o this subject"
The New York Journal of Commerce, In
an article on the same subject, says 1t is
bigh time that all fllibusters, aud all who
sympsthise and encourage their lawiess pro-
ceedings, should know that the masses o. the
American people are opposed to them, and
consider their movements dishonest In prlu-
ciple and directly subVersive Of progress and
civilization; and that the Government Will
not permit tho law to be violated. their poll
cy thwsrted and their friendly relations with
other nations disturbed, whenever 1t may
please some reckless sdventurer to "expatri-
ate" himself for the purpose Of seizing what
does not belong to him, or of forcing freedom
and civilization down the throats OF other
people"
The Philadelphia American says:--"Com-
modore Paulding's act is not without prece-
dent. Commodore Porter invaded Spanish
territory to suppress a horde of pirates really
little worse than Walkers. General Jackson
pursued hostile Indians into the limits Of
foreign COLONY. Both were blamed on formal
grounds; Porter was most unjustly punished.
bot both had the hearty approval Of the coun-
try. So has Paulding. With the points OF
analogy, however, there are also marked
points Of difference. The party Directing to
Commodore Porter's landing was the govern
mept whose territory be technically violated
No such complaint can be apprehended from
Central America; but. on the contrary, the
hearty thanks of the Waiker5aunted country
may reasonably be counted on"

A GOOD SERMON,

We have heard story Of DIR. Lyman
Reecher, that is said to be true, and is
worth putting into type, as illustrating the
truth that We never can tell what may re.
suit from an apparently very Insignificant
action. The Doctor once engaged topreach
for country minister, on exchange, and
the Sabbath proved to be one excessively
stormy, cold and uncomfortable. 1t was
while the Doctor lived in Connecticut
in mid-winter, and the snow was piled in
heaps all along in the roads, SO as to make
the passage very difficult. Still the min
lister urged his horse through the drifts,
till he reached the church, put the animal
into shed, and went in. As yet, there
was no person in the house, and, after
looking about, the old gentleman, then
young, took his seat in the pulpit. Soon
the door opened, and single individual
walked up the aisle, looked about, and
took a seat. The hour came for commen.
cling service, but no more hearers.
Whether to preach to such an audience
or not, was now the question-and it was
one Lyman Beecher was not long in deci-
ding. lie felt that he had a duty to per-
form, and he had no right to refuse it, be-
cause only one man could reap the benefit
of it; and accordingly, he went through
all the services, praying, singing, preach
ing, and the benediction: with only one
nearer. And when all was over, be hast.
ened down to speak to "his congregation"
but be had departed.
