The speech of Jefferson Davis, de-
livered at Jackson, in Mississippi, on
the 18th ult., is published IN the Wash
ington Union, with extravaganza com
mendations. In that speech Mr.. Davis.
speaking of the Slavery question and
the rights of the South, says:
Sand it gives me pleasure here tc
say of him, (Mr. Buchanan what am
assured can now say with confidence
that he will not shrink hairs breadth
from the position he has taken, but
sciU naove another step IN Advance, and
fall, if fall he must, manfully, uphold
ing these rights and defying the inso
lence of ill-gotten power"
If Davis had not authority to say
this: his speech would not have received
the wholesale appreciation it meets il
Mr.. Buchanan's organ. We wait to
see what that "other step in advance,
by President who so manfully up
holds the rights of the Shareholders
may be.

Mrs STowE's NEW SERIAL. The
reading public, says the Boston Tran
script, will be glad to learn that the
story, entitled "The Minister'S Woo
ing" Commenced in the Atlantic Month
ly for December, is the beginning of .
serial novel from the pen of Mrs. Har-
riet Beecher Stowe; and that portions
of it will appear from month to month
until it is completed. The story is
marked by all the characteristics of
style and spirit which have made the
authors former works so famous. The
scene is laid in New England imme-
diately afterth Revolution-the period
when all that was most simple, quaint
and peculiar in character and manner,
was in full force. 1t was the era before
railroads, steamships, lightning presses,
fashionable churches, and fashionable
clergymen,-in short, the good old times
of which the present generation have
so often heard. We look forward to
see mastery portrait of Puritan lifc
sketched in this romance. However,
1T is not necessary to do more than to
announce Me. fact; an author of whose
name and works are known in moro
than thirty languages, and whose two
novels have reached a sale of more
than eight hundred thousand volumes
In this country alone, will not surely
want for readers. We shall look for
the coming numbers of The Minister'S
Wooing" with great interest.

A WOMAN MAKES SHIRTS FOR A
HALF DIME EACH, AND HAD TO GO TO
LAW FOR HER PAY.-The misery to
which the sewing woman of New York
are exposed, may be inferred from a
case which came before Mayor Tiemann
a day or two since. Mrs. Mary
McManus complained that short time
ago she was employed by L. Stern &
Brother, at Sc Warren street, to make
shits for their establishment that she
was to have so cents per dozen for
making them, Ia trife oyer fye cents
soch,) and that she took, at one time,
the materials for three dozen of these
garments, to make up, and deposited
50 as security for their return. When
they were completed, Mr.. Stern refused
to pay her for nine of them, on the
ground that they were not well made :;
nor would they give her the 81 deposit
ted as security. The amount unpaid
on these, together with a trife which
she had not received for previous work
and the deposit, were 81, which she
desired they should be compelled to
pay her. The parties concluded to set
tie up in order to avoid trouble, and
the woman was paid.

the contract for the California lines via
Panama and Tehuantepec expire, on
Oct. lst, 1865, it is probable that the
routes by Salt Lake and Nicaragua will
have been reopened and in successful
operation. This presents the question
whether one, two or three of these
routes shall thereafter be employed for
mail purposes. The Tehuantepec route
is the shortest, and the most readily
protected, but it will be comparatively
new, and its line of staging too long,
while it is destined no doubt, to become
transit of the first importance, and
will deserve the highest patronage and
encouragement. Still, it cannot super
cede the necessity of one or more routes
through Central America. 1t is of the
highest importance that the route by
Nicaragua should be reopened, and its
undisturbed use for the transportation
of mails, passengers, troops and NUM-
tons of war, secured by the solemn
guarantee of public treaty. With
out this, in view of the unstable condi-
ton Of the local Governments of Cen
trail America, the safety Of Transports
ton can hardly be relied on as calcula-
ted to furnish the requisite facilities of
communication between Europe and
the southern and southwestern States.
The projected lines between Norfolk,
Va, and England, and between New
Orleans and Bordeaux, are among the
most important to be established.
The P. NJ. General regards it as
highly important that the line to Vera
! Cruz should be continued.

A HEARTLEss JoKE.-The New Y ork
papers say that some heartless wretch
perpetrated mean and dastardly hoax
on the poor of New York city on
Thanksgiving day. 1t was announced
that provisions would be distributed to
the poor at Union Square, and hundreds
of the wretched and destitute focked
thither indulging hopes Of plentiful
supply of good things, and uttering
blessings upon their as yet unknown
friends. Before night came, however,
these expressions took the form OF
curses, for although numbers of the
deceived people stood for hours SILVER
ing in the cold, no appearance was
made on behalf of the expected donors.
Sad and detected were now those who
had come at the offer of charity, many
a care-worn cheek was stained with
tears, as their owners turned from the
promised plenty towards the home
where their starving children were
waiting for them. Practical jokes Of
this kind are always evil in their ten.
dency, and particularly so when the
misery of the starving poor is made the
subject Of such cruel hoax,

The Montgomery advertiser, the
central organ of the Alabama Ode
rnocracy," shrewdly remarks that the
inevitable consequence Of the triumph
of Mr.. Douglas will be, either that the
political character of the Democratic
party as the great conservator of the
constitutional rights of the South. will
be essentially dsmoralized, or that the
party win be completely broken up and
denationalized." The editor seems not
to relish these alternatives, and con-
cludes an able aud temperate article
as follows: 80
Such being the present condition
and prospects of the Democratic party,
as indicated by the results of the recent
elections, and as connected with the
fortunes of Mr.. Douglas, is there any
reason for Southern Democrats to be
gratified at the issue of the contest in
Illinois? As one, we would prefer
that the Democratic party should be
defeated in the next Presidential cleo
ton, rather than it should win success
by the smallest possible further con.
cession to the Anti-Slavery sentiment
of the North. We therefore prefer
defeat to the adoption of Mr.. Douglas
as the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, because that involves con
cession. Rather than this, zoe say, LEI
the Democratic party become tn ats or.
ganization, as it ,aoU is an its essential
composition, a Southern sectionalparty
and let MS stand on our own constitu
tional rights, and rely on our own mora
and material resources for the protec
ton of those rights, in the Union, il
we can-out of it, if we must"
The candid admission that the De
mocracy" is "a Southern sectional
party" is worthy of all praise. ~.

Re.AssembIing of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-House-The
galleries of the House are crowded,
! and the members are gathered in con-
fused groups on the floor Of the House
engaged in earnest conversation. All
appear to be in fine humor.
At noon, the Speaker called the
House to order.
After the delivery of a prayer, the
roll was called. About two hundred
members responded to their names.
On motion Mr.. Florence, of Pennsyl-
vania, resolution was adopted ap-
pointing a committee in conjunction
with that of the Senate to wait on the
President, and inform him that a quo
rum of both Houses had assembled and
were ready to receive any commuica-
ton he may be pleased to make.
The daily hour of the session was
fixed at IL o'clock.
A proposition to select seats occa-
stoned much confusion, but was adopt
ed. Every seat was vacated and Sc
lections were made by lot.
Senate-Fifty Senators answered to
the roll call.
The oath of Office was administered
to Martin w. Bates, and he took bis
seat as Senator from Delaware.
The credentials of Matt Ward, OF
Texas, and that OF L. bingham, of
North Carolina, were presented.
On motion of Mr.. Gwinn, of Cali
fornia, the House was notified that the
Senate is ready to proceed to business.
On motion of Mr.. Allen, a committee
was appointed to wait on the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Mason gave notice that he would
on Tuesday, call up the case of the
Spanish schooner Armistad.
Messers. Seward, Fessenden and
others, objected that this claim should
be singled out, and Mr.. Seward called
for vote on the subject, which stood

,xp1Ar COMPASSIONATE REPORT.

The report of the Indian Commits
sioner estimates the number OF Indians
within our limits at 100000. The
whole number of tribes and bands 10
|175, with A only of which we have
treaty engagements. The quantity OF
land required by these treaties is up
ward of SCI, 600, 900 acres, and the cost
to the government of fulfilling these
treaties has been nearly fifty millions OF
dollars. The whole amount OF trust
funds held on Indian account is up
ward of $10,59O,000. ~ ~
He points out several fatal errors,
which have hitherto marked our policy
towards the Indians, and makes sever
al important suggestions for the future,
embracing among them a recommend
alton that the various tribes should be
permanently located on reservation net
larger than is necessary for actual oc-
cupation, and that they should be re-
CURED to live upon and cultivate their
reservation.
He also recommends the ratification
of the treaties made with the Indians
of Washington and Oregon Territories
as means of preventing further hos
tilities.
The report of the Secretary Of the
Treasury has not been made accessible
but it is generally understood that it
will contain no recommendation tend
ing to disturb materially the existing
tariff law, while notifications may be
suggested in the transfer of a few arti-
Giles to schedules other than those in
which they are now enumerated. At
taches much important to stable tariff,
that the interests of commerce may not
be injured, and believing that the pre-
sent law will ultimately yield sufffcien'
lev of revenue. The inference seems
to be that he would, rather than the
tariff should be changed in its proni-
nent fearurs, prefer a resort to loans In
cases of temporary embarrassment.
Lieut.. Ives, of the Typographical
Engineers, has prepared preliminary
report of Colorado of the West, which
will probably appear with the report
of the Secretary of War. The expo
dition was highly successful one, and
the results are of an important charac-
ter. He assembled that river in steam
boat 500 miles, and considers the navi-
CATION practicable for that distance for
steamers of light draught. It is
thought that the opening of this river
will develope an economical avenue CT
transportation to large portions of New
Mexico, California and Utah, after the
photographic survey. An examination
was made of the previously unknown
region along the seth parallel, which is
traversed by the Upper Colorado and
its tributaries, and the country was
found to possess such novel features a.
to render the exolpration of the high
est interest.
There is little if any doubt that .
law will be passed at the ensuing SEES
sion of Congress extending the pre-
emption to Utah. Atpresent no settler
in the territory has legal title to his
land. The surveys are progressing,
and already two million acres are ready
for market.
From what is said in military quar-
tiers, it is probable that strong force
will continue to be kept in Utah.
Though the Mormons are quiet at pre-
sent, they are not resigned to the cir
cumstances which surround them.
