B@- The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia e. S. Gazette, thus speaks Of
the satisfaction felt at the National Capitol
at our recent triumph in electing Hon. John
G. Ten EYck to the United States Senate:
Much satisfaction is felt here, by those
who are watching with interest the progress
of that great political revolution, which is TO
eliminate III 1860, at the election of the Uni
ted States Senator, from New Jersey, who
comes commended by sterling Wing antece-
dents, and an absence of an obnoxious ultra
ism 1t is difficult to describe the humila-
[ tion to which that State, once so proudly
represented by such men as Southland, Dayton,
Miller, and the Ike, has been reduced, for
years back, by mere party hacks, who have
wanted both the ability and the spirit to vim
dictate the principles or maintain the interests
of their continents. Political affairs have
been managed there as if they belonged to a
close corporation, but the day Of that dynasty
is ended, and new one is to be inaugurated,
by which New Jersey will again take the
place in the public councils which she always
deserved TO occupy, and assert the just inAu-
ence which has been crippled and bartered
away by scheming politicians. This result is
/ important inasmuch at it proves that the ele-
ments Of the Opposition are capable of being
harmonized, whenever proper candidate ID

FOR PIE RESIDENT IN 1860
HON. M. T.. DAYTON,
OF New Jersey.
THE LATE CONGRESS.

Now that Congress have adjourned, it is
well for the people to enquire, what great good
have they achieved for the country Speeches
of ipterminable length have been made as
usual But everlasting talking alone never
did, and never will, accomplish anything =
The ridiculous project to give the President
$4,000, 900 for the purchase Of Cuba, has for
the present been abandoned; and VIII only
remain on record as evidence of a castle-build-
ing Administration What do We want of
Cuba? With tropical region at the South
half as extensive as the whole continent of
Europe, embracing, Florida, louisiana Ala
bama, Georgia, Mississippi South Carolina
and Texas, in which all the productions which
are raised in Cuba, can be produced in sufi-
Gent quantities to supply the whole world, we
repeat it, What do we want of Cuba7 What
need is there, Of the acquisition of any more
territory, for a thousand years to Gomez
Would not sound policy dictate the improve
nient Of what we have? Why, the United
States already is larger in extent than the
whole continent of Europe. The territory is
capable of sustaining population of 100000
600. The policy of the Roman Empire was
enlargement Well, what was the conse-
quence? Anarchy, ACKNOWLEDGMENT, ruin and
destruction. And so it will be with this coun-
try in time, unless this Unsuitable avarice for
new territory be checked and controlled
The admission of Oregon as a State into
the Union, seems to be regarded by the Sham
Democracy, as a great triumph in National
Legislation Oregon, with territory three
times larger than all the New England States,
with population almost numerous enough to
occupy respectable County, has become a
member Of the Union. All constitutional
scruples were set aside; and hereafter, when
there is a vast Wilderness and prairie region
at the far west having 6 hunters and trap
pers within It's limits, let it by all means be-
come State
The last feature of Congressional Iegisla-
ton touches more particularly upon economy
1t has been ascertained that the Nationa
Treasury is somewhat minus of funds And
to raise revenue to supply the deficiency, the
Administration men in Congress, very sagely
come to the conclusion that an embargo must
be laid upon the diffusion Of intelligence
throughout the land Postage on letters must
be raised, and publishers of newspapers, as
well as subscribers must pay pretty heavy
postage upon all the papers which they receive.
The bill passed the Senate, but was defeated
in the House.
THUS far, we have taken birds eye view
of the principle acts Of Congress of 1859. We
presume the members have all been paid for
their services; and if they have not, it is their
own fault. The fruits of their legislation re
main yet to be seen. AS the Hon. John
Wright once observed of a certain garrulous
member, He reminds me of an old hen that
is eternaly cackling and cackliug, but never
yet laid an egg SO the late Congress have
been garrulous enough; they have cackled
most obstrepulouslY; but where are the eggs2

No Extra Session.

A telegrapbic despatch from Washington
announces that the Administration has decided
not to call an extra session of Congress, not
withstanding the failure Of the Post Office APP
preparation bill, and the amentable condition
in which that Department will be placed by
the want Of funds. The President has appar-
emily been outvoted by his Cabinet. The pro-
ject suggested, Of continuing to draw warrants
when there is no money in the Treasury to
meet them, is precisely like merchant draw
ing checks upon bank to pay his creditors
when he has no money deposited to meet them.
The warrants noininally call money from empty
vaults, and Of course it will not and cannot
come uutil' an appropriation is made by Con
gress.

Luckless Adventure.

some time past been a servant in the family Of
Mr.. Hart. at Newton, Sussex county, was

SINGULRR AND HORRIBLE DEATH.--About a
week ago a domestic, named Eden Vaughn,
employed at the Union House, in this city,
had her ears perforated for the purpose Of
wearing earrings. The operation was per-
formed in the usual manner, and with the usual
results at the time On the second day after
the piercing, her ears commenced swelling, and
she supposing nothing serious, left employment
and went home. The third day the swelling
and inflammation increased rapidly, when she
became deaf blind and SPECIFICS; erysipeas
set in and for three days the unfortunate

operation. but we are told by those who have
had their ears pierced, that it is extremely
hazardous. and is often attended with great
pain 7yog Budget.

ased ticket in Washington, from general
agent of all the lines through to Cincinnati.
When be arrived his baggage was missing.
and be subsequently sued the Little Miami
Railroad Company for its value, and judge
ment was recovered in the Court below. This
was affirmed upon the ground that the ticket
was recognized by the defendant, which was
sufficient evidence of the authority of the agent
at Washington. There were no circumstances
to show that there was division or separa-
ton of contracts as to the various lines in re-
gard to the transportation of the passenger
aud bis baggage.

Fox Nllpting---Al Costly Dog

him out. On reaching the mouth of the

duty by his master, and while pursuing
the zizng course of the subterranean pas
sage, he got fast between two projecting
rocks. AS soon as the fact was ascer

whenever the trumpet sounded the charge
Carlo answered it. at all other times
he was silent as the grave. After lapse
of four days and nights, the dog was
reached, and restored to the embrace OF
his master amid the shouts and reioicings
of the assembled sportsmen who had la

however 4iIeeted his escape and was no

the most valuable, OF rather most costly
