\ SOUTHERN OPIyIoy-The following in an
extract of letter from Hon Jere Clemens,
late L s. Senator in Congress, and now one
of the editors Of the Memphis Ea9s;rcr, written
from Puladciphla. We reprint it inst to SHOW
how a Southern gentleman looks apon the late
iarC;ca' demonstration at Charles,own. and
how the comments Of some Lancaster county
girls made him blush for tile South" aud

heartily as any one, but 90 not like to hear
them here. and nothing but the fear of making
myself ridiculous by getting into passion has
preserved me several times from retorting a
witticism by taunt Besides, when sit down
and think over it calmly, am forced TO con-
fess that it is nothing more than fair retalia-
tion for the clustering threats in which our
people are so prone to indulge. We talk
about whipping the north with as much self
oomplacency as if her whole population would
not more than suffice for a breakfast for the
militia of single southern State, and yet

and governors going through the ridiculous
farce of rendering aid to the Governor of Vir

Hay~ Washington dispatches, says that every
effort at negotiation among the parties and
factions, with a vew.to organizing the House,
have failed. The South Americans, at their
caucus on Saturday, positively declined to treat
with the Democrats on any footing-refnsing
even to entertain proposition looking to a
concentration Of all Southern votes with those
of the Northern adherents of the Administra-
tion upon Mr. GnMER, Is. A. Mr.. HIcKMAN's
plurality resolution, it is apprehended, will be
fought off to the latter part of the week, but
as it must ultimately be adopted, the eventual
election of Mr.. SHERMAN is probably without
a doubt.

CONGRESS-.

We do not think it worth while to make up
an abstract of Congressional proceedings
The time of the House has been taken up
with dSunion aud doughface speeches, the Re,
publican members abstaining from the discus,
sion
The ninth ballot for Speaker was taken on
Saturday The whole number voting was 228
rendering Is necessary to a choice. Upon
both ballots Mr.. Sherman had Ii; upon the
second Mr. Bocock fell from IS to S4, and Mr.
Boteler from 23 to Is, the votes thus lost
enuring to Mr. Briggs, of New York, who had
in the interval been nominated by Mr.. Bouli
gny Of Louisiana. The scattering votes in
both instances amounted TO 9.
The Senate was not in session on Saturday.
It's members were however buised with the dis,
cussion of Committees, the programme hereto
fore obtaining proving distasteful to- all sides.
The very important alteration is SAID to be
the restoration Of Mr. Douglas to the Chair
manship Of the Committee on Territories Mr.
Green, Of Missouri, resiouing TO make way
1t is also stated that Mr. Douglas has aban-
doned the project Of visit at the South.
The Tribune correspondent thus states the
prospcc. for organization -
The Democracy Of the House are divided
in,o two interests one willing to see an organi
cation effected and the other desiring to pro-
cure the cooperation of the Southern Opposl-
ton, to prevent a sectional aspect, with a
united South. The latter cannot prevail
The next experiment will be on Mr. Taylor Of
Louisiana, but with no better prospect of sue,
cess than was had with Mr.. Bocock.
Efforts have been made to concentrate on
Mr. Davis Of Indiana, as compromise but
without success. The South will not touch
him though he declares his readiness to support
the Democratig candidate when his vote can
elect II the Opposition hold their present
position firmly, as is expected, and call for a
veto steadily at the close of every speech on
The part of the other side, the plurality rule
may come sooner than has been anticipated
There is q possibility that, after other expert
meuts at combination have failed, various
members of both parties South may agree to
serve the public interests demand an organi-
zation. and allow it to be effected by their
silence or frank explanation. The present
state Of things cannot continue very long. A
better temper prevail, on all sides. 1t is the
understanding among the Opposition now that
no pairs shall be made hereafter, except upon
unquestionable emergency.

A New IssuE-The North american of the
10Th instant says: For the approval of gov
ernment, in few days will be submitted
new coinage of half dollars, just produced at
the I. S. Mint. The new coin, although of
the same diameter as that now in circulation,
is much thicker at the rim, in consequence of
the deeper sinking Of the die, and hence much
more durable. On one side is a medallion
portrait of Washington, with the head wreath
ed with laurel the word Liberty upon a scroll
over the bust at the bottom the date, 1859 :;
and around the whole the words United States
of America, in plain, well adapted, raised
letters. On the reverse side, a wreath of
grain envelopes the words Half Dollar, in the
same beautiful letters The coin is very hand
some.
