The Late Session of Congr-,s.

The first session of the Thirty Fifth Congress
which closed on Monday, 14th inst, was short
or by about two months than the average length
of first sessions has been for many years past.
Notwithstanding this unusual brevity, says the
lntelligencer, it appears by careful examination
into the facts that the House of Representatives
has sat more hours and passed greater number
of bills dusing the present session than it has du
ring any, even the longest of any previous long
session. The appropriations made during the
session amount to at least $50, 1000.
This session is said also to have been the most
quiet and orderly we have had for a long time.
Personal alterations between members of Con-
gress are now, unfortunately, looked for as mat
tiers of course, but the country may congratulate
itself that only re took place during the session
Just closed. These were between Grow and
Keitt, Clay and Cullom, Hughes and Harris, Da-
Wis and Benjamin, and Gwin and Wilson. No
body was seriously hurt in any of these difficult
ties, and explanations and reconciliatons follow
ed IN each of them. 1t is gratifying to know
that il members of Congress must quarrel with
each other, they have acquired the same facility
in apologizing and making friends which distin-
guished the celebrated Pickwick Club.

SPLICING THE CABLE.-If the Agamemnon
and Niagara left Plymouth on the 9th, or even
the 10th inst, as they were to do, on their great
expedition it is probable that they have halted in
mid.ocean, that the telegraphic cable has been
spliced, and that the central part of the electric
cord that is to unite Europe and America is now
lying in its permanent bed at the bottom of the
Atlantic, while the two ships are speeding on
their opposite courses. Within the next fort
night at farthest, the most anxious question will
doubtless be answered, and it will be known on
both sides of the ocean, whether the greatest
undertaking of the present century has proved a
success or failure. The experimental trip of
the two ships appears to have been satisfactory,
the machinery for paying out the cable worked
well, the splicing of the two ends was effected
with ease, and unless the ships encounter a
harder storm than may be expected at this sea-
son of the year, there is fair chance that we
may hear of the great work being completed be-
fore our next national holiday.

Correct Mode of Settling Difficulties.

There has been very little in the public career
of Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,, deserving
commentator, but his conduct in his recent dit
hculty with Senator Gwin is worthy of all praise
and If universal imitation. Of course We do
not allude to the vituperation in which he In
dulged on the floor of the Senate, which was
highly discreditable, but to the mode of adjust
ment proposed by him. Mr.. Gwin called VII
son demagogue, and the latter retorted "
stignatizing the Californian as thief! A chal-
lenge from Gwin followed, and Wilson declined
It, on the ground that the law of the country
branded dueling as crime. This closed the
correspondence on the part of Mr. Gwin, and
street fight was anticipated, but the next day
he received the following communication from
Mr.. Wilson:
Having declined to accept your hostile note
on the ground that do not recognize that mode
of adjusting personal difficulties, although /
hold myself entitled always TO the right of self
defence,) / am nevertheless unwilling to stand
in the attitude Of refusing to make such other
arrangement OF the matter, as shall be just and
honorable. submit to you, therefore, that We
refer the whole matter to the consideration OF
Mr. Davis, Mr. Seward and Mr.. Crittenden, and
abide their decision thereon"
Mr. Gwin acceded to the proposition, and an
adjustment was speedily effected. The course
of the Massachusetts, Senator was upright and
manly. For good and sufficient reasons he re-
fused to fight duel, but being unwilling to
stand in the attitude Of refusing to make such
other arrangement of the matter as might be
just and honorable, heiwas willing to submit his
conduct in the premises TO the arbitrament of
Just and honorable men, and to abide by their
decision. If this course were uniformly taken,
how easy would it be to reconcile personal dis
pates No man has right to insult or offend
another, but when he does so he is bound, alike
Christian duty and the principles of worldly hon
or, to make repsration. Dusling is a poor way
at best to settle such difficulties, and true honor
and msgDanimity dictate course ike that pur.
sued by Senator Wilson. As the party accused
of giving the insult it was right that he
should suggest mode of adjustment, and by
doing it in so proper a manner be has elevated
himself in public estimation.

The Sheyer's Fund.

We have heretofore alluded to the fund left
by Mrs. Margaret Sheyer, many years ago, to
the late Samuel Clarke, Esq, as trustee for the
benefit of the poor children of the town of Stuun-
ton, and which at the time of Mr.. Clarke's death
amounted to about $4,000 Mr.. Clarke's ad-
ministrator, John N. Hendren, Esq, applied to
the Circuit Court to appoint trustee to whom
be might pay over the money, aud Judge Thomp-
son decided that the legacy was void, and lapsed
to the Commonwealth, there being no heirs
The Legislature, however, upon the petition Of
citizens of Stanton, relinquished the Common
wealth's claim, and authorized the Court to
dispose OF the fund. AT the late term the Judge
entered decree dividing the money, in the way
Of perpetual loan equally among the three Fe.
male Schools and the Male Academy, in Staun.
ton, each of these institutions binding itself to
educate three children. The gentlemen appoint
ed to select the pupils are Messrs. j. B. Baldwin,
Geo. Baylor and A. D. Trotter.
This disposition of the fund is undoubtedly
the best that could be made. The institutions
mentioned are all incorporated, and owning val
liable real estate sre fully responsible for the
safety of the fund and the faithful performance
Of their part of the agreement. By this means,
also, all further costs of administering the fund
IL dispensed with, while the intention of the
ssstatrix viii be fully complied with.

Central America.

For some time past a Frenchman named Belly
has been in Central America engaged upon
very mysterious mission. The Paris correspond
ent Of the London Times explains the object of
Mons. Belly's visit, and describes his operations
as entirely successful. According to this writer,
the Governments of Nicaragua aud Costa Rica
have entered into an agreement with a French
Company for the construction Of an inter- oceanic
Canal. This OF itself would excite sensation
IN the United States but it is not all Presidents
Mora and Martinez have put themselves under
the protection of France, England and Sardinia,
especially and particularly as against the Unit
ed States. In an appendix TO the contract with
the French Company, they declare their appre-
henson Of American fillibusters, their inability
to protect themselves, the confessed inability of
our President to prevent fresh attempts, and as
cert that 'all the official agents of the United
States at Nicaragua have been the accomplices
and auxilisries" of the invaders. They place
the Convention relative to the canal ''under the
patronage of civilized Europe, by appealing to
the justice and humanity of all Christian nations
against the attacks of pirates aud buccaneers, OF
whom they have been for threeyears the victims"
aud the independence and nationality of the Re-
publics of Nicaragua and Costa Rioa under the
guarantee of the three Powers who have caused
the independence and nationality of the Otto
man Empire to be respected, namely, France,
England and Sardinia"
The London Times says that Mr.. Bely's con-
tract is without practical Importance, since the
conditions are never likely to be fulfilled.

of cotlins stating that his wife was subject to
spasms, and he expected to have use for one, at
almost anv time. She tasted the lemonade, but
declined drinking it, saying it was too bitter
He told her that it was aloes, and that the Doc
tor said it would be good for her. She drank ii
all, and in half an hour was corpse.
The case has caused great excitement in the
neighborhood The fiend has been arrested and
safely lodged in Jail. 1t was said that he was on
terms of intimacy with a niece of his wife, let.

Flour Inspection at Wayuesborough.

We are requested to give notice that it is the
purpose of the Governor of Virginia, at the
time other appointments of inspectors are
made, (Which we believe is in September or Oc.
toberO to appoint an Inspector ofaour at Waynes-
borough. All persons DESTROYS of obtaining the
situation will therefore bear the fact in mind
We regard this as good movement, as the
parties who place their -four on the Railroad at
Waynesborough very naturally desire to know
its quality before they send it to market. 1t
will be great security to farmers against impo-
sition.
