The moderate and careful friends Of the Admin
istration count upon but three to FIVE majority at
most for Lecompton in the House. AL contrary
professions are designed for effect. and are not
credited in the inner circles about the President
Recent developments have staggered the faith and
excited the fears Of the frequensers Of the White
HOuse.
The President said, with triumphant assurance,
when he sent the Kansas Message to Congress on
the Cd Of February, that he would carry Lecomp'
ton through in sixty days or die.
Two-thirds of the time named is gone, and the
first part of the alternative is unfnlflled VIII the
second part come to pass VIII Mr. Buchanan
stick to his word
It has been formally announced to those seeking
that no important diplomatic appointments VIII DO
made till after the Kansas question shall have oeen
settled. Judge Roosevelt ia named in connection
with the Ministry to Madrid.
It is understood that Senator Houston will over
boul the members of the Naval and Reform Board
personally, Tuesday, on the bill requiring "cni ~
be subjected to trial.
The recent ACT gives the ITtbluch' V'Vl " N""
dred appointments, including transfers from one
rank to another.
The change in the British Ministry in no way
affects Lord Napier's position here, though he has
70 political utilization with the Earl of Derby.
Senator Wades speech yesterday produced
sensation by turning the tables on those charging
aggression upon the North. He cited examples
the annexation of Texas, the Fugitive Slave Law,
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the
last movement for forcing Lecompton on reluc-
tant people-wherein the South had assailed and
impaired the rights of the North. His whole
speech was outspoken and forcble. He marched
squareIy up to the enemy and confronted him reso-
lutely on every point. He said that Ohio had taken
her ground, and could not be driven from it by
menace, persuasion or treachery.
After Mr.. Broderck had handled Biger without
gloves yesterday, telling him fatty that his state
ments then made concerning the meeting at Judge
Douglass house upon the Toombs bill were wholly
different from those made on the former occasion,
an episode occurred worthy of notice.
When about closing, he supposed that Mr.. Slidell
coughed in an offensive manner, whereupOn he i'm
mediately remarked that some Senators were in the
habit of sgniJing displeasure by coughing down
others. For himself, he regarded such conduct as
insulting and such as no gentleman would indulge
in. No reply was made.

Columbia Synod.

The Columbia Synod Of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
met in Winchester, Tenn, on the
18th uIt. We extract the following
item of the proceedings from the
Winchester Home Journal:
Rev. W. Fl. Baldridge, OF McGra-
dy Presbytery preached { the mod
orator being absent) the opening SER
mon.
Rev. NJ. H. Bone, of Tennessee
Presbytery, was elected Moderator,
and Rev. w. B. Watterson, Of Elk
Presbytery, Clerk.
Athens, Limestone County, Ala
bama, was selected as the place for
the next meeting of the Synod, and
the time fixed at Ii clock A. NJ,
on Friday before the third Sabbath
10 October, 1859.
Tie Trustees Of Winchester Fe-
male Seminary located at this place.
proposed to the Synod TO give to it
the property, fixtures, apparatus, &c,
at present owned by the board, val
ued at about $4,000, upon certain
conditions, among othels that the
SYNOD would expend in improve
ments on said property at least
$4,000.
The Synod upon mature delibera-
ton accepted the proposition with
but one dissenting voice, and agreed
to raise the sum proposed, and at
least $4,000 if thought advisable,
and retain the present Board OF
Trustees.
The Board Of Trustees, under
the direction of the Synod, will, in a
short time, have in the field an agent
to raise the means, and there seems
to be no doubt entertained by the
friends Of the enterprise as to his
success.
This is a small amount for so
large number as compose the Co
lumbia Synod to contribute, and 1t
will be promptly raiseds and thus Sc
cure to the Synod and friends OF fe-
male education school of high char
acter and sustaining patronage.
