A special message was received from the
, President, announcing that he had signed
the act admitting Oregon us State of the

The Revenue resolution of Mr. Bigler be-
ing taken up
Mr.. Hunter proceeded t" address the Sem
ate thereon. He disagreed with the Pres-
dent and Secretary of the Treasury in
their plans for raising the revenue; he
holding it impracticahle to raise the amount
of revenue required, by an increase Of
the tariff He thought that a reduction
from "a per cent. to % per cent, and
the taking of tea and coffee from the free
list would be more likely to accomplish the
| result desired He contended that before the
increasing the tariff q retrenchment of at least
six-and-a half million should be made in the
expenses of the Post Office Department. He
also suggested that some revenue might be
derived from the minera! lands if they were
brought into market and managed. lie was
opposed to disturbing the tariff Of 1857 at pre-
sent, as being unwise and inexpedient He
contended that AL valorem duties were pre-
ferable to specific as financial policy.
In the House Of Representatives, Mr.. Eng
lish, from the Committee on Post Offices and
Post Roads, reported bill for establishing
certain post routes. One of the routes pro-
posed in this bill is from ST. Paul. MnnesO-
tn, across the country to the Pacific.
Mr.. Jones, of Tenn, said the overland
route already provided for, will prove curse
to the country, as the mails are conveyed
over il under contracts limited to six years
at 10000 per year. and no benefit is deri-
we'd from the service He, therefore. moved
to lay the bill on the table; disagreed to

ges against Pyne Of malteasanee in Office,
misapplication of the public moneys, and
violation of the sub-trrasury laws. The
accusation states that Pyne has been in the
habit of making his deposites in the local
banks instead of in the sub-treasury. and has
paid the expenses of the United States Courts
in the uncurrent and dcpreciHtrd paper Of
the hunks Of Missouri and other Western
States. instead of gold and silver. Mar
tin also produces a transcript from the
books. showing that in less than four
months Pyne has drawn from the public
funds and applied to his private purposes
more than seven thousand two hundred
dollars, while the limit of his whole sal
ry as allowed by law is six thousand
The charges are made directly and unequiv-
ocally. with specifications under each head,
and we understand are sworn to by Martin
as being true Of his own personal knowledge,
and are also accompanied with the offer
on his part to prove every one OF them by
the testimony " ether persons. 1t is under

will publish the charges and specifications
with proofs attached. The United States
