WASHINGTON, Thursday Jan. -, 1858.
The Douglas Democrats held a caucus last night,
and counted the Anti-Lecompton forces in the
House. They make cut majority OF seven against
Lecomptcn; but they reckon upon men who,
knou VII not vote with them. As things now
stand. the Administration VIII have ten majority IN
the House on the Kansas questsn. The tn'oH
cracks the whip vigorously this morning, and the
stragglers are falling into the ranks.

Gen. Scott has pcstpcned bis departure Tor Csli-
fornia til February 20. He msy be delayed still
further BY the fate of the Army bill. which seems
likely to fail in the Senate.
Two Douglas Democrats spoke ID the House
against fecompton to-day-Mr. Hickman oil REM
sylyanis made an able speech, which was hsteneo

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Jan. -, 1855.
Gen Scott has reconsidered his purpose OF gong
TO California and the project is definitely relln'
auished. The intention was predicsted on the eA-
pectat;on of Congr,ss authorizing the increase OF
regiments asked for BY the President, 40 that the
force on the Atlantic might be transferred to the
Pacific, the vacuum being supplied by new levies
The adverse indications BY the vote III the Sen
ate Yesterday, and the sentiment OF the House, led
10 the abandonment of the policy.
Advices, by letter and telegraph, this morning.
TO the Administration, warrant the belief that the
Free.State party have carried everything IN Nan
sas. A complaint is made from some Democratic
quarters against Calhoun for agreeing to give GER
,ificate, conditional upon the investigation Of the
frauds authorized by the Legislature, surrender
ing virtually, the whole result.
la other quarters it is alleged that the returns
communicated through Gen. Denver coacusively
settle the election. Southern Members Of Con-
gress acknowledge that all is lost
The President and Cabinet are proiessedly much
exercised about the frauds imputed to Calhoun,
because their present intention is TO use the argu-
ment derived from the success of the free-State
party 10 coerce the Northern Democracy.
The fact is not disguised that within few days
signs of resisting Lecomptcn in the House are
much modified, and this tendency is strengthened
by the pretcnse that the Constitution can be
changed immediately after admission.
Mr.. HickmaD's speech attracted much attention.
He declared that The time had come for the North
to assert it. rights at every hazard, and that il
President Buchanan's Message had been circulated
before tue election, he would have been defeated

Mr. Charles Deyln again figures in another col
umn, in paper sent TO the Aldermen last night.
in this document it appears that Desln was the
contractor for tagging the Third avenue from Sixty
first TO Eightysxth street; that according to the
original estimates he was to be- paid for ,2sji cubic
yards of earth excavation at As cents per yard; sd
cubic yards of rock excavation at 50 30 per yard;
and 500 cubic yards Of earth-filling at 43 cents per
yard, making 1910. But having found that more
than three times this amount had been paid for the
work, the Street Commissioner searched out the
assessment list, and found that somebody had al

THEY'LL DO MUCH BETTER ToGETHER.-A right
good story we heard the other day about
birds. young couple got married, and the
lady happened to possess in her own right, a
a canary, of which she thought great deal.
Her bird, she felt sure was very happy uatil
after her own marriage, when she came to
the conclusion that the little fellow must be
lonely. Said she one morning at breakfast,
"My dear, our neighbors have beautiful
canary, and she feels so sed and disconsolate
alone do let us persuade them to either give
or sell it to us, to put with ours; yOu know
they'll do so much better together" Our in
formant says the earnestness with which the
young bride urged the union of the birds, in
order that they might be happy, was per-
fectly irresistible, and proved to HIM pow
erful argument in favor Of mstrimony = Red

TRuE.-The following from the pen of a
Sacramento correspondent Of the National
is very fine and very true:
There is a class of men who, sitting still.
or standing with folded hands amid the strife
and hum of the world, achieve a more essen
tial and solid labor for society, than the noisy
politician, the glib reformer, and all the un-
dertakers In ways and means. Call them
idlers, dreamers, what you will If they
avoid the courts, the markets. the legislative
halls, the popular churches, the caucus, and
the meetings of stockholders, it is not be-
cause they are indifferent to the interests of
humanity. They work in the very founda-
tions of society. They are the very leaven in
the lump. Their virtue infuses itself, an i'm
mortal fire, into the cold, hard clay of hu.
man selhshness. While the practical men are
making us richer, the impractical men are
making Us haI pier and better While others
are contriving new schemes of money maxi
ing, shouting at Eass meetings, studying sta
tistics, saving the country, running after the
political offices, they are dropping golden
dews of love and wisdom upou the parched
and arid soil of our hearts Sometimes in Il
look they give us; sometimes in u single word
or smile; sometimes in a song or story,
they convey a blessing to our souls, richer,
sweeter, more lasting, than any gift in the
power of the practical man to besIow. Their
influence is incalcuable Though private it
circles outward from the centre, and moves
in time, whole society-perhaps world
as the eddies of pebble agitate the surface
of 4 whole pond. And when they address
humanity through the medium of independ-
ent thought, though slow to action. they ob
tain hold upon the heart, and wide spread
influence which The greatest statesman often
fails to secure. Nigh name one fiction
as he is called, who, sending his thoughts to
us from the Atlantic side, wields thereby a
moral power in this country entirely above
and beyond that of our most eminent and
thoroughly practical men,

THE UTAH VALLEYs-The large, beautiful
and fertile valleys of Utah will, within a
short time, occupy very considerable atten-
tion in California as well as eastward. Emf
grafton from the Western States will tend
largely to that quarter, and many who have
long been enumerated in the population of
California, will remove to the new and in
viting locality. The overland route, better
protection on the Plains the mail, and an
easy communication with the Sacramento
Valley aud other points on this side, viii do
all that will, for years, be necessary to induce
the settlement of lands unequaled on the con
tinent or the globe. These valleys lie on the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada and form
great basin, with pure water lakes, a eli
mate unsurpassed and an agricultural capaci
ty immeasurable.
A large number will go to Carson Valley
this fall for the purpose of settlement; sew
eial from Sierra county have been recently
examining the more attrrctive places in the
valleys, and some, among whom are j. j.

G3S@ On Sunday evening, at a late hour,
says the La Porte Messenger, the report came
that in a cabin near the Port Wine crossing,
on Slate Creek, row had occurred between
three partners, two of whom had fallen on
the third and beat him in most shocking
manner. Doctor Wadley was called to dress
the wounds, and, We believe, the person so
severely hurt is recovering. McWilliams is
the name of the wounded man, who is repre-
sented as being of very quiet and inoffen-
sive disposition. His two partners were ar
rested and brought to town to undergo their
trial. What the origin of the fraeas was,
we have not been able to learn.

A TRIUMPH.-The San Francisco National,

result is the election of Black Republicans
to the Legislature. That is the real triumph
for the Buchananites. They are endeavoring
to secure the same triumph" in Illinois, by
defeating Douglas and electing Lincoln, an
Abolitionist, to the Senate of the United
States. Buchanan also, in his miserable
policy" is throwing every northern State
into the hands of the Black Republicans
Such is the 'real triumph" of which Buchan-
antics boast.-Stockton Democrat

derfully. They now claim that they have
gained glorious victory. Glorious, indeed |!
when they dared not avow their principles
before the people, but everywhere declared
that they Abeieved Douglas and McKibben
were right in voting against the Lecompton
Constitution. This they did indirectly by
their newspapers, and their public speakers
all declaring themselves in favor of popular
sovereignty, and that Buchanan did not differ
with Douglas upon this principle. They de-
clared upon the stump that they loved Doug
las and that they would cheerfully ara glad
ly vote for him for the next Presidency
Now, however, having hoodwinked and de-
ceived the people out of their votes, they
fear no longer the ballot box as its power
for the present has passed by, and they come
out of their hiding places and loudly pro
claim that the people are opposed to popular
sovereignty, and are in favor of forcing the
Lecompton Constitution upon the people of
Kansas, first through the power of Congress,
and, when that failed through means of
threat and the offer of a bribe as contained in
the English bill. They did not dare speak
their thoughts boldly until after the election,
when they deemed themselves safe beyond
the power of the people. Argvs

HORTICULTURAL Snow AT THE PAVILION
Although the hot days have made sad work
with the soft fruits, every night this portion
of the exhibition is one of the most attractive
features 1t is evident the fruit-growers take
great pleasure in their contributions; dav af.
ter day members from different counties of
our great State we see examining, analysing
and criticising the specimens from different
localities. Every new variety, every new
sample of the many added to the large col
lection is critically examined, errors in no.
menclature corrected, defects and beauties
carefully noted We believe the fruit con-
vention performed more labor than any other
fruit convention ever held in the United
States, except the first convention held at
Rochester, New York and yet they are in
the beginning of their labors, for each years
experience will create a revision of the lists.
rs good or bad qualities are developed in diff
ferent localities. The exhibition of choice
fruits is as yet very limited The most valu-
able on exhibition, we noted, were some
French or German prunes, dried on the
ground; small beginning, but in its success,
indicative of branch of domestic produc-
tion and commerce which at no distant day
will give employment to many people and
permanent addition to the States wealth.
In the floral exhibition we noted some Cali
fordia seedlings, variety of moss roses, ex-
ceiling in its peculiar beauty. fresh and fra
grant among the many faded flowers of other
origin. The hop vines twined around the
posts of the Pavilion create another pleasant
