From Washington.

Washington March 2.
The President in replying to the call Of
tho House for information concerning the
African slave trade says, that the instruc.
ton given to the commanders Of the squa,
dron are such that seizures are not likely
to be made except under circumstances which
would at least insure certificate of prob
able canse, il they did not authorize con.
dcmnation. The objects has been to avoid
as far rs practicable, all vcxstOns inter
ruption Of lawful commerce. The only in

and tho expenses incurred by him in de-
Tending the suit were refunded him under

Another letter from an army officer in
California, dated the I'd inst, says:

The former advice regarding the Cass-

patches. The treaty has not been sat;fed
by Nicaragua, and Sir Gore Ouscley's troa

Henry Giles on CompartIve Lying.

Tho following passagd from the lecture
delivered by Henry Giles, on Wednesday
evening, has an Erinian ardor combined
with tcrseness, which cannot fail to strike
the reader, even if he be not prepared to
admit the application to any one hearabouts.
Mr.. Giles said :-"But then, the Irish

pay their just obligations.
A modern young lady, fashionably ed

fashion and domestic equipments, is alto

Diamonds pins, rich silks and laces, rose
wood furniture, six seven, eight or nire
hundred dollar houses, operas, balls, FASH

success in business, are altogether out of
question. If young men would unite the
latter and matrimony, they must look into
another circle for wives. A girl who is in
dependent enough TO earn her own living
as teacher or with the necdlc, is q wife
worth score of such butterflies Of fashion

a fool to marry any other.
Useful industy is always honorable, and
difference of sex makes no difference in this

Move the Muscle.

The N. Y. Evening Post quotes the fol-
lowing passage from an address delivered
by Mr.. Theadorc Scdgwick, before the Al
umni of Columbia College, delivered on
the 9th Of October, and just published in
n pamphlet. Mr.. Sedgwick is sound on
the muscle question;
"From the timc that the boy, whose
fortune it is to be education. is immured in
school, till the perion when he is again to
bo immurcd in the lawyers office, counting
room, and from that time again until he
enters upon the profession of his life, no
systematic attention whatever is paid to tho
subject Of physical education. All the
exercise thai. he gets by chance. No reg.
ular opportunity is provided for it--no au-
thorita!ivo encouragement is given to it,

High Postagc-No Reform.

From the New York Tribune.
The Senate, by vote of 80 years to rs
nays, has passed what Mr.. Yulce faceti-
ously designates "Post. Route bill" but
which ought to be cntitled"A bill to render
the United States Nail system more in
tolerable nuisance than hitherto" this
bill.

from three to- fivs cont each. Double, treb.

2. Raises Postage Of newspapers carried

lively published to one cent, por copy
In other words doubles and g,iaruples tho
present postage on newspapers Of general
circulation. Tho amount Of extra postage
impose by this on the Subscribers to the
Tribune alone can hardly DO less than
100000 per annum!
In other words: The Senate refuse to
make all who use tho mails pay for such
use, and insists that those who now pay
shall pay nearley double, in order to cover
the cost Of carrying other peoples mis'ivcs
for nothing.
There seems to be no need Of wasting

er-but the mass; in gallery and in SEN
ate, shouted with mingled roar Of laugh.
ter and cheers-the President throwing
down the gavel in despair.
Having, in this phrase, compressed tho
whole argument into tho smallest possible
compass, Wade went on, roasting tn Do.
mocracy about their ''nigger bill," and sat
isfying Toombs that he (Wade,) was not
much frightened, however it might be with
him (roombs, )-and then no handed over
the fight to Fessenden.
Mr.. Fessenden was moro deliberate. In
deed he was persistently calm and provo.
kiugly cool. Ho told Toombs that Repub.
licans did not skulk nor shiver on the Gu
ba question, but only meant by this courso
to take their own time, and teach gentle
men that tho Senate was to be governed
by its own rules, and not by tho dccrccs OF
a party caucus. and that they should pcr-
NIT the vote to be taken on the bill when
they had said all they wished to on the sub
jcct, and not one moment sooner.
All this time Seward sat quietly in his
chair. Those accustomed TO read his
thoughts on his face, know he was biding
his opportunity TO rc,ly. Finally, ho look
the floor. He never spoke Of the Senator
from Georgia. He turned his back somo
what toward him, with mingled mir Of
dignity and contempt He drew his own
chair aside, pushed Wilson's ont Of tho
way, stepped back pace or so, shook of
trammels, forgot Blair's rhetoric, Camp
bells rhetoric, and Stewards rhetoric, calm
ly defined the different kinds of courage,
said he hoped he had enough to serve his
purpose as Senator and man, and then
rose with his theme, contrasting, in few
glowing words, the beneicent objects Of
the Homestead bill, with pcrnicious scheme
Of acquiring Cuba, and, aluding to the
Presidents efforts to clutching the purse
and the sword, denounced him in severe
but strictly parliamentary language, for
attempting thus TO divert the public mind
from the issues which his Kansas and f.
nancial policies had precipitated upon the
country, and no concluded by comparing,
in few eloquent sentences, tho principle
which would give lands and homes to free
dom and free laborers, with that which
would extend and strengthen the curse and
crime OF human bondage among men.
AS lie pronounced the closing words, ho
proudly turned his back upon tho Chair,
drew out his cigar case and walked into
the adjoining cloak room.
After another short skrmish on points
of order, Toombs replied to Seward. Ho
tried to abuse him. 1t was not tho vitu.
peration Of Senator. II was the rawlings
of a drayman on the dock, the cursing of
common drab in dirty alley.
In the midst of this gust of passion. the
fire eater might be seen shaking his cleuch
cd fist and curly locks at the New York
Senator, who was leaning against the door.

After a long fight, Sldcll, chief Of tho
Cubans, at nearly Q o'clock in tho morn

that the Senate adjourn.

The facts Of the discovery, as near ms wo
can ascertain, are these: Last Sunday, as
the son Of Michcal Hoag was searching for
some sheep in tho woods, on the farm Of
Mr.. S. Miner, about miles southeast of
the village of Sylyshla, he discovered the
remains of the body OF "a man. He immo.
dately ran to his father. who in company
with Mr.. Miner, repaired to the spot, and
there found abundant cvidcnce that the
remains were those Of Mr.. Thurston, who
must have fallen from his position cn tho
valve Of the balloon, whcro he Was seated
when carried off so singularly last summer.
These gentlemen Immediately proceeded
to collect what could be found, but only
succeeded in finding the skull, and one foot
in a boot. and few Other small boncs.--
Tho rest Of The body hns been carried off
10y wild beasts They found however. tho
coat, pants, vest and shirt, aud with them
Mr.. Thurston's card upon which he took his
minutes on his Balloon trip from Adrain to
tho place Of landing, near Sylvania. The
pencil marks on the cards were SO water
soaked tho writing could not he made out.
They found however, in u memorandum
book letter directed to Mr.. Thurslon,
from firm in Philadelphia, which was in
reply to inquiries about Ballon silk.
They also found Mr.. Illusions watch,
and knife, both Of which are fully !enti.
fed by many Of our citizens; as are his
property. Tho watch is unhurt, but stop.
ped a, 20 minutes to IL o'clock, which
shows the time he fell.
All that romans Of tho unfortunate
ThurstoD about whose fate there has been
so much solicitude, is now enclosed in a
small box, at this office, where wc have 40

What disposition is to DO made OF them,
We have not been informed. Thus ends
this tale Of peril, and death, and anxiety
over his fate, aud tie discovery Of his re.
mains. Rudely has fate dealt with thy
body, gallant Thurston; but wo trust thy
noble soul is a, rest beyond farther jostlins
