FROM the St. Louis Daily Democrat
A dispatch from Washington announces
that Gen. SCOTT IL going 70 the Pacific BY the
next steamer, in consequences Of the fear OF
trouble with the British, concerning the seix-
ure of San Juan Island by Gen. Harvey.
The fact shows how fearful the Admins
tration' il ut heart, Of its own inability to
master the subject Ut home, and how fearful
also OF the precipitation Of difficulty, BY the
ofdcers whom they have entrusted with the
military service in Washington and Oregon
Territories. But palmer even than this, il
shows how great is the necessity for an inter-
oceanic telegraph from the Atlantic TO the
Psci6c. We're tho wires stretched across the
continent, - they ought 70 be, and would be
IL the Administration had given heed 10 the
adviocs Of the Secretary OF War, when 1t.
ting out the Utah expedition, or lot Kansas
take care Of herself, and paid more atten.
ton to the real practical wants Of the coun.
try ct large, now it would neither Be aeces-
sary to send the head Of the army 90 far
from head quarters, or indulge ID the slight
est doubt or difficulty In the settlement Of any
dispute which may arise from the seizure OF
San Juan. g M 1870
The Importance Of our Pscihc possessions,
their contiguity to the Fart Indies and South
Sea islands, and increasing commercial in
tercourse with home and foreign markets,
would seem TO suggest that thore should be
no further delay in the building Of tels-
graph across the plains. The simple sppro-
priation Of few thoussnds to aid ito pro-
gress would push the enterprise to an early
contamination. We hope that il tho next
Congress the North and West will take hold
Of it, and urge the matter with psrtinacity
and perseverance,, till > proper bill for Pa
cifc Telegraph 10 passed, signed and sealed.
The argum ents in its favor can be counted
by the seore--the objections are few and
easily answered. The South will naturally
oppose it--any thing to benefit free State
II % sure to meet with opposition from such
men - Toonbs, Iyerson, Davis, Keitt, and
others, as milk u 10 turn sour IL allowed to
stahd.
Perhaps il the telegraph we're now in OPP
Grafton it would save . sum sufficient to ex-
tend it TO the desired Limit by preventing
an untimely collision on Puget Sound
only hope that its argument may. be urged
sofscn.
REMEDY soR THE Brrx or Mad Doas.--A
Saxon Forester, named Gsstell, now OF the
venerable age Of eighty.two, unwilling to
take TO the grave with him ! secret Of so
much Importance, has made pnblic in the
Leipsic Journal the means which he has used
for fifty years, and wherswith he afirms he
has rescued many human beings and cattle
from the fearful death Of hydrophobia. Take
Immediately warm vinegar or tepid water,
wash the wound clean therewith, and then
dry il; then pour upon the wound few drops
Of hydrophobis acid, because mineral acids
destroy the poison Of the salvia, By which
means the latter 10 neutralised.

of them, we shall see, that not only has their
success been owing toaasnew idea or origi-

to the systematic mode of carrying out the

more truly exemplified, than in the career

THOMAS HOLLOWAY, and the eproportionate

been fortunate enough to learn from his own

of perfection, but in keeping afoat this

are kept perpetually in the hands and with
in the reach of one in every hundred of a
community, and at::community contained
in no less limits than the circle of the earth s
broad surface. Now this is not. only ac-
complished, but done with ease and harmony
withal these almost ubiquitous remedies,
culled originally (as we are assured) from
the vegetable productions Of that soil which
gave us birth, are moreover so compounded
from careful study and research, as to ACT
with divers tendencies, but wonderful unity
of effect; the individual properties of Hollo-

suing and circulating of shinplaster bank
notes. 1t was amended in the Senate and
sent back to the House. The House con-
Cured in the Senate's amendments and
added an additional section to the bill which
actually gives to the State and Free Banks
the privilege of issuing just such worthless
shinplasters as have beeu complained of by
the people for several years past. 1t might
not have been the intention to so word the
bill as to give the banks this privilege, but
it was done, nevertheless. The Senate re-

B9~The project of placing thirty millions
of dollars IN the Presidents hands, ostensibly
for the purpose of corrupting Spanish of
ficials, to induce them to part with Cuba, is
not meeting with a very favorable reception
in the United States Senate Besides the
Republicans, six or eight Southern Senators
are opposed to it. The States newspaper is
out against it. They fear to trust that
much money in the hands of one so immac-
ulate as Mr.. Buchanan. We apprehend that
more of the thirty millions would be spent
in securing doubtful State to the Democratic
party in 1860, than would ever reach the
Spanish Court. The proposal reflects last

free trade is of vital importance to the pro-
ducing interests of the South and West, and
that protection is another form of Abolition
ism, and rather than be responsible for its
imposition Representatives of slavehold-
ing States would surrender the control of the
Government. The Southern Democracy are
determined to sacrifice their allies in Penn

fee. The idea that protection is another

wEDNEspAY MORNING. ........FEBRUARY 8
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
Rar Legislation at Washington is 50

Hsg% Legislation at Washington is 80
it has become next thing to an impossibility
to get any business through whatever. In
orderlto avoid the iuconyenisnces growing
out of this system of rules, Monday has
been set apart, by the House, as the only
day in which they may be dispensed with.
The uninitiated would naturally suppose
that the most would be made out of this day
possible; but such is not the case. On
Monday last, a week ago, the following imr
mense amount of business was done, az fur
nished by correspondent of the New York
Tribune lts - Owls
This is Monday. No sooner was the jour
nal read this morning than the clamor for
the floor, in order to move to suspend the
rules, began. A looker-on would havesup-
posed that the House, by Unanimous ac-
claim, was eager to- send the whole parlla-
mentary code, including Jefferson and
Cushing, to the Black Hole of Calcutta, there
to remain till Tuesday at II o'clock, NJ
But, after a weary session of nearly four
hours, the days work may be summed up
thus: The rules were suspended four times;
once, to pass a bill for the &c relief of William
Hazard Wigg fortunate Wiggl !, his bill,
after encountering great hazard, has at last
come to the ,seratch); ouce, to let in reso-
luton fixing. the. hour of meeting hereafter,
at II o'clock, which was adopted for fear of
an extra session once, to authorize evening
meetings for reading Buncombe essays, usu-
ally their fsst and final reading by mortal
man; and once to pass bill to pay some
body for something done to his house in the
Mexican war. These four itemssof business
did not occupy twenty minute. The rest
of the day was spent in calling the Yeas
and Nays, going through tellers, and in
! other ''fillibnstering devices.
The same. correspondent adds that the sit
ting of theEIouse, during the present short SEES
sion, costs, at least $4,000 per day. Some
persons Justify these proceedings, on the
ground that the less Legislation done the
better for the country. Ifthat be true, we
had better keep our legislators at home. y
