The Revival MEETINGs-Our exchanges
still TEEN with accounts of the the wonderful
progress and religious awakening produced by
the revival meetings, held by the various de-
nominations of the churches in different parts
of the country. Especially are those being
held in New York and Philadelphia of siugu-

couraging inroads are being made into the

Of the Central Methodist Church corner of

Mr.. j. Clancy Jones has set himself up for
a wti and although he certainly brought
down the House, on Wednesday, it does not
seem to us that 1t was a very great hit. He
said that Mr.. Buchanan was one of the purest
men that ever presided over the country. The
remark was received with roars of laughter.
And yet we do not see any remarkable wit in
it, mere extravaganza Of assertion is not wit.
Suppose that Mr. Jones had said that Mr.. Blu
chan was Methodist minister, or that he had
wife and seven children, where would have
been the wit of tbatf Would that statement
have been received with shouts Of laughter
And why not, as well as the one which so
much amused the honorable members Peo-
pie know that either Of these statements il
quite as Ear from the truth as the enc which
so much excited the mirth Of the House. No.
no, gentlemen; statement is not witty
merely because it is not true Providence

daughters, knocked in the doors and windows,
and broke up the furniture, Mr.. Tyrus Cam

over the stove, when he was shot in the alb
domen, and was taken home to die about Of.
teen minutes afterwards, in presence of his
wife. The coroners jury found that he was
shot by some person unknown. Mrs. Abbey's
father in-law jeremiah Abbey, man named

was a house Of bad repute. He made fatal

FRoM WAsHINGToN.-Th Committee on
Commerce have made a report in favor of re-
moving the railroad bridge at Rock Island,
as an obstruction to navigation on tie Mis-
sissppi.
Among the combinations by the Senate
are Fletcher Webster, Surveyor at Boston,
and Mr.. Wendell, Navy Agent at Portsmouth
, New Hampshire.
The Foreign Committee have instructed
Mr.. Burlingame to report a resolution re-
questng the President to inquire into the
facts concerning the seizure of the barque
Adriatic by the French government, to re-
quire an explanation of the ground for the
seizure, and to demand redress.
The Secretary of the Navy transmitted to
the Senate letter dated April 25th, from
Lieut.. Craven, in reference to the inter-ocea-
mic canal across the isthmus of Darien.-
Lieut.. Craven is Of the opinion, for reasons
gwen, that the proposed canal is impractca-
BILE, involving expenditures not easily esti-
mated, and sacrifice of life from which the
stoutest heart may shrink. At least two
generations must pass away before the world
could realize the completion of much less
extensive work from that contemplated.
The majority of the House committee on
elections take the ground that Messfs. Phelps
and Kavanagh, presenting credentials as mem
bers from Minnesota, are entitled primo .tacie
to be sworn and admitted to seats, but do not
propose thnt snch an admission shall preclude
any contest as to the rights of these gentle
men which may hereafter be properly insti-
tuted Mr.. Clark of Connecticut, Mr.. Will
son, and Mr.. Glmer maintain that each GER
tifcate is not prima fa.ie title, but is prima
.facte a refutaton of title and effectually pre-
cludes all the right, provisional or final, to a
seat. Mr.. Washburne of Maine believes, un-
der the laws of Congress aud of the constitu-
ton of Minnesota, there has been, and there
could be no legal election. These views were
embodied in the three separate reports.

SMALL SEoTToNALIsM.-The Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Enquirer writes !:
"As specimen of the sectional feeling of the
House, and an evidence of che disposition pre-
vailing on the part of the South, / may mention
that yesterday, on the vote stopping the publ
cation of portion Of the Pacific Railroad sur
yeys, and reducing the number to be issued Of
the remaining volumes, the names of the South
ern members were recorded in a body, after an
appeal made by Northern member that, so far,
the volumes Of this work had reference only to
the Southern routes proposed, and that Northern
members desired particularly the volume that re
lates to the Northern route.
This reason, so fair to any candid mind was
the worst one he could have used for it served to
combine the Southern vote. 1t may look like a
small matter, but it is one among numerous in
stances of the sort. The very volume thus struck
at is the one of greatest interest TO the North
it treats Of the section Of country which future
emigration must chiefly tend.'

MYR1ADs OF PIGEoNs.-The Detroit papers
say the country north of us is swarming with
pigeons, old and young. On the st. Clair
River and the lake shore of Huron, and so
along the country to Owosso and Kent. and
other northern counties, the pigeons are seen
in great numbers. They are so plenty and so
tame that they are often killed with whips and
clubs. The ladies in Shlawassee county
shoulder the gun and bring them. down, just
for fun. The Owosso american says-Mr
Merritt Richardson, living couple of miles
south of this village, on Wednesday last
caught at single haul of his net, six hundred
and forty-eight wild pigens. When this is

The HORRORS OF THE FRENCH SLAVE TRADE
are fearfully pictured in the voyage of the
steamer Stella, small steamer of from tour
to six hundred tons, and 80 horse power con-
structed to sail with or without steam, that on
Dec. 4th, 1857. left Longuebonne, Coast of
Africa, having on board cargo of nine hun
bred and fifty Africans, male and female, most
of them sckly, and none older than twenty
five, but ranging from the ages of eighteen and
twenty. The crew numbered thirty-two,
making grand total of nine hundred and
eighty-two human beings on board the steam
er.
Anybody can judge of the horrors of the
"middle passage" with such a crowd on board
a vessel of that size Want, Indebtedness
and death were among them, as she slowly
ploughed her way across the waste of walters,
and nearly every alternate honr during that
CHASTITY voyage, the corpse of human being
was committed to the deep. Not with the
solemn ceremonies Characteristic OF Christian
buras, but without rite, or prayer, or tear of
regret were those victims of cupidity consign-
ed to the bottomless ocean cast forth like so
much carrion, TO be deYoured by the obscene
monsters that people its depths, there to lie
till they shall arise, at the sound of the last
trump, TO bear terrible testimony against
their murderers.
At length-says the Kingston, (Jamaica)
Journal, that gives the aceount-that is, on
the Sd OF January of the present year-the
Stella and her putrid cargo, reached Basse-
terra, Guadaloupe and landed four hundred
and ninety-seven males and one hundred
and fifty females, the miserable remnant of
the nine hundred and fifty people kidnapped
from their African homes. One third had
passed to rest. Asphyxia, dysentery, fever,
and exhaustion from fatigue and want of food !,
had done their office.
The 600 who survived the passage-most of
them, men and women, perfectly naked
were landed on remote part OF the island
where no accommodations had been provided,
and where they we're herded like cattle, sick
and dying. Some were driven overland to
Point Pitre, and others sent around in small
coasters. On board one OF these Coasters lO5
slaves were thrust-82 in the hold, which was
thereby filed. and % on deck. This vessel,
soon after starting struck upon a rock and
sunk, and the 81 in the hold were drowned.
Thus nearly one half persisted before they
reached Point Pitre, and more than half the
others are so broken down that they cannot
long live. This is the system OF "voluntary'
labor initiated by Louis Napoleon.
