stopped. The passengers on the schooner we're
qresty enraged at this interference, aud threatened
the cutter men not allowing them TO come on board

among the hlbusters and their friends in The city,

Of being Government spy, has lsft town in conss-

A later dispatch says the Susan got Of With Che

Il will be seen tbat Of this -um there has been al
ready appropriated by former acts Of Congress- the
sum of So, 497 725 so, and that there is expected
to be unexEended from the appropriations Of the
current year further SUN Of $l2, AIS, 00T %. or
this latter sum, however, some pOrtiOn--it is not
said What-Will be applicable to the present fiscal
year. There will, therefore, remain to be spPro-
priaed for the service Of the next fiscal year So
oording to the estimates Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, $50 pa, s15 3d. bat the actual expenses
of the national government for the year ending June
80, 1860, must be taken to amount to the first
named figure, S7S,217, 947 40.
We have not yet seen the statement Of the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury in regard to the sources from
which these expenditures are to be betrayed. That
will be contained 10 his annual report Il is not IN
likely, However, that in view Of the diminutiOn in
receipts from import duties further loan viii be
recommended. Indeed, we do not see how that 10
to be avoided. A few years, with that revival Of
trade which we may naturally expect, viii set all
that right again, and will enable ne to bring up that
Indebtedness which the commercial TeVerses Of the
last few years have led Us to incur.
The estimates for the next year are some less
than were lnOSe lOE the PEsseAb YEAR tAuu ASs ~
any very sPpreciahle extent. Thus,

The expenditures for the year ending June 80,

millions that had to be appropriated in deficiency
bills When it is recolleSted that the expenses Of
the Utah expedition, and Of the Paraguay exPedi-
ton, and the interest on tho new public debt thai
has been created have to be deducted from the az
grsgate for the next year. it will appear that there

The following selegraphic dispatches
from the Picayune, exhibits the latest phase

The following sslegraphic dispatche
from the Picayuue, exhibits the latest phas
of the Kansas embroglio in Congress.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-1n the House
of Representatives to-day, MI. Montgomery
introduced bill, which is substantially the
Kansas Enabling Act. He moved that il
be referred to select committee. Mr.. Ste.
tphens moved, as test question, that it be
referred to the Committee on territories
The motion of Mr.. Montgomery was carried
by vote of los to "a. This is regarded
as significant of danger Of the defeat OF the
present endeavor to secure the admission Of
Kansas into the Union.
The vote of the Senate, it has been ar
ranged, is to be taken on Monday next, the
22d inst.
A resolution was passed that Congress
shall adjourn on the first Monday in June.
WASHINGTON, March l7.-Mr Crittenden,
in the Senate, to-day, made very strong
speech against the admission of Kansas into
the Union under the Lecompton constitu
ton, which he denounced as fraud.
Gen. Calhoun, of Kansas, says, to-day,
that evidence recently received from Kan
sas, has determined him on giving certifi-
Gates to the Free State candidates for the
Legislature.
WASHINGTON, March 1s.-Mr. Toombs
made speech in the Senate to-day, IN which
be stated that he did not consider the ques
ton of the admission of Kansas into the
Union sectional one.
Mr.. Bell followed in opposition to the ad-
mission of the Territory under the Lecomp-
ton constitution.
This measure is now regarded here as
dead.

EDWARD EvERElT.-This distinguish

EDWARD EvERElr.-This distinguished
gentleman, the ''silver-ton gued orator" anC
the pure patriot, is soon expected among us
We notice that invitation are pouring in up
on him from the citizens of almost every
considerable town in the Southern States to
visit them, and deliver his great oration.-
1t is significant, and we rejoice at it. BY
his answers TO the invitations from Apalachi-
cola, Memphis, ETC., we perceive that he in
tends to comply very generally, if practical
bic, with the requests made to him, SO that
great numbers will have the pleasure and
profit of hearing the words of wisdom and
patriotism which he utters.
The Natchez Courier mentioning that an
invitation had been forwarded to him to WIS.,
it that place, says:
A gentleman of great literary tasto and
distinguished as scholar and writer, writes
us privately from Richmond, that, in bis
opinion, Mr. Everett's great Grafton is 'the
most beautila! and perfect production Of its
kind in our language The discourse on
charity" he pronounces "surpassingly beau
tiful." The Enquirer, speaking of this dis
course, says: Seldom-nerer, ace might almost
centre to soy-have we listened Ito an ora
ton SO full Of mingled pathos and eloquence.
Aged eyes wept with the Young, and now
and .then a suppressed sob struck the ear.
We cannot help noticing in this connec-
ton stale Islander upon Mr. Everett which
we see revived in country paper; it is that
which represents him an expressing admira-
ton of the political and personal character
of Senator sumner This was long ago
fatty contradicted by the Black Republican
papers of Mr.. Everett's own State, which by
way, are constantly assailing him for his no
bic, conservative and comprehensive patrio-
tism. They would assal the subject of his
great Grafton, if they dared TO, with the same
freedom. l: i'll becomes any Southern or
conservative journal to chime in with
this low yelping at the heels Of a'great and
good man. 1t is contemplate and disgrace
full.

SINGULAR CASE OF DRowING.-A man
was drown last week in Sandy BAYOU. near
the point where it runs out of Fool river in
Catahoua. He was found standing up in
the water, alongside of the bridge, that is
impossible for horse. On the BODY was
found some money, and in his saddle-baes a
flask with about one drink of whisky in It.
His horse was near by, blind folded.
The way he came to his doom is coniectured
to be as follows. He came from Tensas. and
crossed Sandy bayou with difficulty, aud on
proceeding, is supposed to have found the
swamp so bad, that it caused him to turn
back.--His horse being unwilling to take the
water, he blind-foded him, and still not be-
ing disposed TO 60 intoit, he determined on
taking the bridge, and lead over, when he
slipped and fell in. His boots and coat were
of; his head just under water, and his hands
In position, as if attempting to grasp the
logs of the bride. lie is supposed to have
been drunk. lie was drown on Sunday and
found on Thursday remaining in the posi-
ton stated above during all that time.
