A Mail Failure and its Cause.

The Thirty-sixth Congress- Of these free and
United States assembled On the 9Th inst. Il
Inasmueh as this conner of the Globe is not
blessed with Geographic facilities, many eager ex.
pectants were found on Saturday evening, impa.
tient for Congressional Intelligence and especially
for the annual Presidential communication, by
mail; but all we're doomed to sad dsappoint-
inent as the stage came il late and reported a
failure--the steamer EicEs6urg not making her
connection.
This interruption not snly affects us at this
point, but will be felt all trough the upper coun.
try beyond this. Our Nachitoches, Shreveport
and Claiborne friends viii have to "grin it and
'dure it as we did. The upper stages left here on
Saturday evening, flying Light, but on Monday they
carried away double share.
There is no calcuatingthe number Of persons
that m irregularity Of tbs sort affects, nor the
tamount of inconvenience it causes. As we have
said, it was the Vicksbug that missed her con-
nection and we learn from reliable authority that
she was entirely at fault. For even admitting that
OH account of stress of weather. or from any Other
unavoidable necessity sir was unable to procure
hands so as to relieve heself Of her freight and
take on an up load, still itseems that on Thursday
evening when she received the mail and should
have left port she knep sfe could not leave at the
regular hour for she had not at that time dis
char ged all her freight Sue knew also that Tx
Grand Duke, a fast and e4fe steamer would b
going out just at the right hour, upon which yesse
: the Vicksburg could have forwarded her mails, a
it was evidently her duty.
We have before us copy of the Instructions
to mail packets, and in item are found the fo
lowing
"should your boat break, get aground, or b
detained from any other cause, ship the mail b
e the FIRST boat going up; give her your bill
lading and take her receipt tor the mall"
:. Thus 1t is made the duty Of every mail boat,
it finds itself unable to transport the mall to shl
e it by the first boat going up"
y The "Vieksburg," being the regular Thursd'
evening packet, received the mail End kept
when she knew she could not leave till Friday, AZ
6 permitted the Grand Duken to depart witho
:. transferring to her the mails.
u Our informant correct, here is case for II
authorities to investigate.

Dec. Tin the House Of Representatives to-day
wednesday, after an animated discussion upon
Clark's resolution, second attempt was made to
elect Speaker, which resulted as follows: sher-

on the subject.
Dec SIN the Senate, to-day, Mr.. Trumbull, in
discussing Mr. Mason's resolution was subjected to
lengthy cross examination by Southern Senator's,
when produced much excitement for time.
In explaining the principles Of the Republican
party, Trumbull advocated the purchase Of terri
tory contiguous to ours, for the purpose Of trans
porting thither our free negroes instead OF sending
them to Africa.
The Senate finally adjourned over till Monday.
In the House rambling and general discussion
was kept up during the day, upon Clarks resolution
and other matters, with the object as is supposed
of consuming time till parties can secure the at
tendance of members now absent.
Dec. 9.-In the House to-day, after rambling
discussion which consumed nearly the entire SEES
sion, third ballot was taken, which resulted as
follows: Sherman Ito, Bocock So, Gilmer 20

: On Monday evening james Bradford, man of
family and resident Of this Parish, came into town
in company with the deputy Sheriff, w. L. Gray
and some friends, and reported himself to magis-
trate as having been forced, on Saturday evening
10th inst, in self-defense to STAY his felow-uan,
William Fox. 1t seems that Fo. and one James
Whiteside had called at the house of Brad
ford neighbor on friendly errns-perhaps small
trade was pending between Fox and Bradford.
All parties got to drinking high words passed
and serious threats made and much disorder in the
in the presence of the family.
Matters cooled down however SO far that the
visitors had started to their horses-but for some
reason they unfortunately determined to return into
the house when Bradford sent to the heart Of Fox

These are some of the outlines as given by Mr.

Mr.. Bradford placed himself in the hands Of the
