| The following are the resolutions adopted
in the U. S. Senate, on tile day Of its adjoan,
mert, relating 10 the British Aggrcssions upon
American Commerce in the Gulf of Mexico.
Rsso,ued, Gas the Judgement of the Senate, J
that American vessels on the high seas, in the
time of peace, bearing the American flag, re-
main under the protection of the country to
which they belong, and therefore any violation
molestation, or detention Of such vessels by
force, or by the exhibition of force. on the
part of a foreign power, is in derogation of the
sovereignty of the United States.
Resotued. That the recent and repeated VIC.
laion Of this immunity, committed hy vessels
Of war belonging to the navy of Great Britain,
in the Gulf of Mexico aad adjacent seas by fir
ing into, interrupting, and otherwise forcbly
OBTAINING them on their voyages requires, in
the judgement of the Senate, such uneauivocal
and final disposition of the subject by the Gov

touching the rights involved, as shall satisfy
the just demands of this government, and pre-
cludc hereafter the occurrence of like aggres-

action of the Executive in sending a naval force
to the infested seas with orders 'to protect all
vessels of the United Stales on the high seas
from search or detention by the vessels war

the Senate, that, if it becomes necessary. such
additional Legislation should aid the Executive

Major Cui'en.-We were delighted on yes
terday to find on board The Minnesota Belle,
bound for st. Paul our valued friend Maj. w.
}. CULLEN Indian Agent for the North West.
The Major it win be remembered has been
very low at the Gira.d House. Philadelphia for
many weeks. He is looking feeble but he feels
we'll and is in fair way Of entire recovery
He was accompanied by Mrs. Cullen, their
daughter and young nephew named jenkins.
On Monday night while on the boat strange
accident occurred; the Major had large
amount Of Government ndian) Money on board
and himself and Jenkins remained on guard
altcrnstely-whilet the latter was on duty he let
fall his pistol and in striking the floor it was
discharged the ball passing through the feshy
part of his left leg lie was not seriously in-
jured.
Among the Minnesota men at Washington
Major Cullen has the reputation FLEEING most
superior Indian Agent.

Courtesy-The Iowa Citizen, the State Re-
publican parer at the Capital, exhibits tn e
'broughtenup' of its Editor Mr.. Teesdale in
the following select language applied to the
editor of the Journal
THE blear-eyed, sickly, Kangaroo shaped
menstrosty who has affected TO edit and pub
lish the Journal, has suffered his knock kneed
drumsticks which have lilhertoo SUI ported his
brainless fabric, to cave in" y
'Is he anxious to clothe himself with foul rags
borrowed from the shrivelled, juiceless and
dilapiated remains Of the old Statesman and
yainly call them his own q
"Neyer before was there such a living exem
plification Of meanness, mingled with extended
ears, and brains in homeopathic doses.'
The above language towards political OPP
ronent eyinces an easy familiarity with the
epithetical range of the English tongue and il
is possible it may please those who sustain the
Citizen. In the absence of argument or decen1
capacity, the State paper may bejustisd in
using such guns as it deems most effective, but
we submit it to the consideration of our Re
publican readers whether a person of more
mental strength and less Billingsgate accom-
plishment, should not be placed at the head Of
their State organ?

Crops.-We hear Of general prosperity in the
way of crops inIowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
This hot weather with frequent rains has set
corn to jumpng-the word grow is not fast
enough to express its motion. The Oats and
Wheat are as fine as the heart Of farmer can
desire, though it is apprehcnded that there may
be too much straw in each OF these crops. In
low fiat lands such as Illinois, Ohio and Indi-
ana have large share of, and also in the heavy
clay soils OF those states, there is undoubtedly a
POOR prospect. but the rolling loans of Iowa
and Minnesota can stand more rain or greater
drouth than the lands generally east of the
Mississippi There is not 20 sure a farming
country on the globe as is contained within the
limits of these two states.
As usual, about harvest, we begin to hear a
little croaking as to failures, but from care.
full inspection CT our western exchanges we arc
satisfied that the cries of slight YIELD" "no
corn, sail straw DC, &C., are mostly epecu.
lative.

Senator 2ice-We are indebted to this gen.
tleman for a copy Of the Senate Report made
by Hon. Jefferson Davis, Chairman of the Sen
ate Military Committee, in relation to the
charges introduced by Senator Harlan. The
report contains copies of letters written about
the Sale of Fort Crawford, the testimony Of
fifteen or twenty witnesses and a brief state
ment from Mr.. Rice himself 1t was Our in
tention to publish the report but the Committee
did not deem it nee essary to submit an argu-
ment-thcy simply stated that there was no
evidence to sustain the charges. The testimo-
ny and letters make up a document too dry and
tpo long for our columns. We have read the
statements Of the witnesses and it gratifes US
to say that no evidence was advanced to crimi-
nate Mr.. Rice. In our remarks rcflecting upon
him prior to the Investigation, we were actua-
ted solely with view 10 do justice to those of
our neighbors, whom report asserts, had been
wrongod.
We have no srtcs to indulge against any
the same publicity to the exoneration of Mr..
Rice as we did to the rumor of his having
fraudulently executed the duty assigned him by
the War Department. 1t docs not surprise US
that King of N. Y. and Wilson of Mass refused
to concur in the report of the Committee, be-
cause while in Washington and before any spi-
dence ,cas taken. we heard an enemy of Rice
say that skiing and Wilson were. down on Rice
any hor,' This remark was made by mem.
Der of the House of Representatives.
Senator Harlan Irofessed himself satisfied
with the report of the Committee, and its adop,
ton by q unanimous vote of the Senate, places
Mr.. Rice, in this transaction, beyond further
annoyance or censure.

!Specches.-Mr. Nandever, the Republican
nominee for Congress has arranged his APPOINT
ments, and invited the Democratic nominee to
meet him. On the S2d he will be at Volga, on
the Odd atMctregor, on the 9th at Gut enberg.
As Mr.. V. must have known that the Demo-
cratic candidate would be in the field in one
week from the time of his own selection, it
looks as though he was in a remarkable hurry
to force his opponent to meet him at places and
on days of his own choosing. Better taste would
have been displayed by Mr.. v. had lie waited

cleaning the sidewalks of wood.piles, barrels

by some. but the public are with him. The
Judge is about as independent man as lives,
aud in his conduct he is actuated solely by
desire to benefit the place. He says he is
running this town this year and as he expects
he will not be wanted another term he is dis
posed to fill the Executive Chair "chock full''
while he has it, Hurrah for WAIVER!

Iriated by the council to build calaboose.-

Abraham Lincoln

This gentleman is settled upon by the Re
publicans Of Illinois to succeed Mr. Douglas AZ
Senator, in case the Legislature to be elected In
November shall contain an opposition major-
ity. MIR. Lincoln, in speech comparing his
qualifications with those of his distinguished
opponent remarks that 'lioiny dog is better
than dead lien and the admirers of this sell:
named living dog, regard the canine illustration
as evincive of wit that should scintillats only
in that most learned and dignified body, the
the reputation of being wag. but we did not
know before that, from tho confessed nature of
the man, the tcaHgery appcrtains to that portion
of his organism which real dog possesses
We have heard this man speak and without.
Aattering some very ordinary aspirants to orato-
rical honors to whom we have listened, we
think Mr. l.. exceeds in dullness almost any
stumper we ever heard. Douglas and himself
being pitted against each other it is expected
they will canvass the state in company and if
the ''living dog is not cur tailed close up, be
fore The so-called dead lion gets through with
him, we shall drop all pretensicn to prophecy.
There are Kore Republicans in Illinois who
have claims to the Senatorship, and the virtual
ruling OF them out Of the field for the benefit
of Lincoln is already breeding an apathy in
some districts and discussions in others that
will materially aid the Giant in his desire to
be reelected
Who that has particle Of State pride or love
of country would see, unmoved, the master
spirit of American Politics, the exponent OF
correct domestic principle and the defender OF
National honor, step out of his place in the
Senate to admit a man, whose taste and sense
combined could not prevent him from appropri
ating 10 himself the title of a ''living dog 2" A
title by the way, that will stick to him as long
as he "wears hair" Illinois certainly can do
better than to take such man as this from his
kennel.
