lea AND OTHER PLANTS OF CHINA-Ihe CON-
missioner of Patents has received advices from Mr.
Fortune dated Shanghai, August 10, accompanied
by three packages Of seed. The largest package
contains species of Brassica, which is cultivated
largely in the province of Ghekiang for its oil. The
Chinese esteem it highly for burning in lamps, as
well as for culinary purposes; the Ningpo ladies
use it as a hair oil.
The other packets contain two varieties OF kind
of turnip-radish, called "Lobba" by the natives.
Since the LIST of March, Mr.. Fortune has visited
various great tea districts, and made arrangements
with the natives for large supplies Of tea and other
seeds and plants at the proper season. The unset
tied state of the country does not appear to have IN

SNOW, SIR, there 10 no men who holds the COM

dignity OF this House to make them the ground OF
an Investigation. Sir, there 10 no press which
recognize anywhere within the limits OF the UNI
ted States, whose unsupported charge within Us
editorial columns can even put me upon my de-

This talk sounds more like insanity than maiig-
nifty. How reckless, how miserabiy slave to pas
sion and bitter hate must the member from mary-
land be, to utter, with ''sound mind and disposing
memory" such an unqualified and sweeping de-
nunciation Of profession that is graeed by some
men, the latchet Of whose shoes he Is hardly worthy
to unloose
The Alexandria Sentinel, which so often says, in
ito quiet and sensible way, very good thing hits
off the Congressman with the following anecdote :;
"When William Penn was Governor Of Pennsylva-
MA in company with friend he took shelter from
a storm in the shop OF comb maker. The man
was a violent, foulspeaking man, and conducted
himself with such improperly as to draw upon
him a rebuke. He was very indignant, and with
an air of great consequence, informed his visitors
that surely they did not know who he was; am
a Justice of 1e peace said he. The comrade OF the
Governor quietly remarked, as he pointed to Penn,
my friend makes such things as thee. III MI
Davis has cut his tecta he will be able to make the
application and TO profit by it."
The retort Ia capital and ought tc pierce the cpl
dermis Of the member as much as he boasts OF its
thickness. We will only add, that We hope the
press will make no more like him

A Short Session.

We see il intimated that the present session OF
Congress will not be long one. 1t is true, this
ia what is called the long session. and under ordi-
nary circumstances, when there was no business
of Importance to transact, would last till about
the middle of July. Now, when Kansas, Utah, Nj
caragua and other momentous subjects, in addi-
ton to the usual staple topics of legislation, de-
mand consideration, the session will be hurried to
a close, because the members receive fixed annu-
al salary no matter what the length OF the session.
whereas formerly it was eight dollars per diem,
and the longer the session, the more OF the eight
dollars Such Is substantially the reason which
we see assigned to sustain the probability OF a
short session. Indeed, Mr.. Buchanan hints as
much in his messages. Nevertheless we nope the
law regulating the present mode OF compensation
will not be repealed. 1t is true that the rate OF
pay is enormous, and that not one In ten OF the
members could earn third of the amount in any
regular vocation at home. With the brides whicn
a few of them are openly accused OF receiving,
there must be some men in that body VINO VIII
grow rich by the public plumber. But better give
them even We or ten thousand dollars per anhuin
than per diem. All the country asks OF Congress
ia to let 1t alone The Union gets on In toieraoie
peace and quietness until Congress meets anu 'nen
the cave of Holus is opened, and the gales OF an
cry dsputation sweep over the land, blowing up
party and sectional hatred into afurious blaze
threatening the destruction of our Union and Tree
institutions 1t is true that Congress has no power
to ruin the Republic, and that they are but the
servants of the people, who, if their agents really
put the mansion In danger by serious attemptat
incendiarism, will take them by the back of the
collar and put them out of the door. But, their
protracted pother keeps the public mind in I'M.
healthy excitement, and fills the minds Of nervous
people with constant apprehensions, whilst the per-
petual talking for Buncombe Offends the good taste
and lowers the reputation of the country. A few
able and virtuous in the House and Senate
really do all the business and the work, whilst the
great mass would better be anywhere else. Where
fore, by all MEANS let the stated annual salary be
continued, and, if necessary, increased, on cond
ton Congress will not sit more than month in
the wear.
