BY THE CITY OF WASHINGTON.

New York, Dec. 20.-The steamer City of
Washington, from Liverpool Dec. Z, and from
Cork Dec. s, has arrived.
The DIPLoMATIC CoNGREss-The London
Times says Walewski has sent dispatch to
Turin urging that Count Cavour shall not
represent Piedmont in the Congress. Prince
Gortschakotf and Count Ksse!z will represent
Russia in the Congress. 1t is said that Aus
tria and France have agreed that no delegates
from Central Italy, the government of which
is not recognized by European courts, are to
be admitted to the Congress.
LIE Nord says the exiled chiefs of the pres
sent government of Central Italy will plead
their cause before the Congress by notes and
memorials.
The Tuscan Moniteur says the Congress
will find Italy resolved to maintain her rights.
The Central Italians are better armed than
they were at the~end of the war, and will per-
severe in defending strong Italian kingdom
in national union which will efface old diyis-

New ORLEANS, Dec. 20.-Mr. McLane, our
Mexican Minister, has arrived with the treaty
with the Juarez government. 1t was on the
18th inst, and provides for a perpetual right
of way across the sthmus of Tehuantepec,
from Rio Grande to Mazatlan, and from Quay
amas to Arizona, without warehouses at the
termini of each transit. All goods between
the Atlantic and Pacific states, are to pass free
Of duty. Goods shipped from transit ware
houses to foreign countries, are also to be free
of duty. Our troops, military stores, and mu-
nitions ofwar, are to pass through Tehuantepec
and Sonora, the same as Mexican. The neu-
trality of the transit is to be guarded by both
governments united, with or without con-
sent. Mexico is to possess the right to pro-
tect the transit and property by force
There is to be perfect religious freedom and
no forced loans on our citizens are to be per-
mitted. A supplemental convention permits
intervention in Mexico to protect our citizens,
and enforces the treaty stipulations, in compen-
sation for the release of duties on passing tram
sits. The United States are to pay $4,000,000,
half of which is to be received in payment of
claims.
The above is derived from authentic
sources.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON Dec. 20. = Senator Wilson
left Washington for Massachusetts,, this morn
ing, having been summoned thither in conse-
quence of sickness in his family.
The Pacific railroad bill, which Senator
Gwin expects to introduce at the earliest op-
portunity, is the same as reported by the Sc
lect committee, with the amendment made
thereto by the Senate just previous to the close
of the last session.
The pairing off by some of the members of
the House accounts for the reduction of the
aggregate, but does not alter the relative vote
for Speaker On the first two trials, to-day,
Mr.. Sherman lacked four of an election
On the last, however, only three were neces-
sary to produce that result. This was occa-
stoned by the absence of Mr.. Reynolds The
thirty eight votes for Boteler were cast by
nineteen of his own American friends, with
George Briggs and eighteen southern demo-
Gratis McClernand's twenty~eight votes in
cuded all the Illinois democrats, and some
from the south and elsewhere. No other dem
ocratreccived more than seven votes. Messrs.
Adrain, Horace +. Clark, and Riggs, voted
for John G. Davis, and Mr.. Davis voted for
Mr.. Clark.
The democratic Senators were in caucus
again to-day, on the subject of public printer,
and again adjourned, without making nom
ination.
The proposition of Major Hartley, manufac-
turer Of firearms, to establish an armory in
Richmond, Virginia, and which has been re-
commended to the Legislature of that state
by Gov. Wise, meets the approval of promi-
nent citizens here. The enterprise is to be
under the auspices of company with ST ,000,-
900 capital.

The southern Youth Evaouate Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, Dee. 20.-At meeting of
the southern medical students today, it was
resolved to secede in body from the schools
in this city, and go to the southern colleges.
There was a large attendance. Jefferson Col
lege will lose 200, and Pennsylvania University
100 students. They will proceed in a body,
tomorrow night, in special train from the
Baltimore depot. The proceedings were con-
Quoted throughout with great decorum and pro-
priety, and there was no exhibition of violent
feeling. A number will go to the Richmond
medical college,

prepare the way for action. They show that
the masses of the people are prepared to stand
by the Institutions of this glorious country.
He proceeded to allude to Mr.. Seward as
the leader of the Republican party, and quoted
from Paradise Lost the account of Satan's fall,
"from morn to noon, from noon to dewy eve"
as applicable to him. He referred to Mr.. Cor
wins speech the other day, and quoted from
the Tribune to show that Mr.. Corwin is regard
ed as "crochety." He then asked the clerk to
read Mr.. Clark resolve relative to the unfit
ness Of an endorser of Helpers book to be
Speaker. Some delay occurred while the
clerk was finding it.
Mr.. Stanton-I will ask that the resolutions
of the Utica Convention be also read. Laugh
ter.)
Mr.. Cochrane-If the gentleman desires to
hear them, he can procure them elsewhere
Mr.. Clark's resolution was then read. Mr.
G. continued, that the resolution was not suf
ficiently comprehensive. The doctrines of
Helpers book could be proved to be the doc
trines of the Republican party and if their en-
dorsement proves man unfit for the duties of
the Speakership, all who subscribe to them are
equally unfit to hold the destinies of the country
in their charge. He alluded to Browns inva-
sion, and inquired what was the cause of the
enterprise. AT first it was charged on Mr.
Seward, as the logical effect of his irrepressible
conflict doctrine His friends say that was
only figure of rhetoric, that he means con-
fiict of ideas, and that he cannot be held re-
sponsible for physical violence. He then read
several extracts from Helpers book, recon-
mending physical violence for the extirpation
of slavery. This language was addressed to
the passions and intended to infame preju-
dices. 1t was there Enthusiastically asserted
that slavery must be exterminated by the
same physical resistance which cast off
Great Britain, and gave the colonies their
freedom in the Revolution. The alternative,
then, is, that unless the slaves are immediate
ly and totally emancipated, a resort must be
had to violence. He read the names of Sew
ard Greeley, Giddings, and Others in full COM
mumon with the Republican party, to show
that party endorsed the doctrines Of Helpers
book, The Republicans were responsible for
its circulation throughout the north, and in
some portions of the south. The compendium
of that book was made with view to carrying
the Presidential election, and the Republican
party has assented to abolitionism as one of
its principles. The Democrats stand on the
constitution, and will defend it from assault
from any quarter They will protect and sup
port the south in every right which belongs to
them. No crisis can approach which will par
alyze the arm of the Democracy of the north.
They will stand, as they have stood, firm by
their fellows, all over the Union.
A call of the House was now made as pre-
liminary to taking a ballot for Speaker. The
ballot resulted as follows -

living by rowing the pirogucs, bateaux

did destroy it by fire.
The machinery, though badly injured
by the flames, was not totally ruined,
aud the ingenious owners determined
to attempt to apply it 10 some use. At
that time, the only saw-mills in the coun-
try were situated on the river bank, and
the machinery was propelled by and
only during the high waters of the Mis-
sissippi; when the waters were low, all
the saving was done in pits along the
river. The persons thus engaged were

REMARKABLE Cures BY ZENoS LANcLo1s,

years for his unparalleled success in the
cure of chronic diarrhna, dysentery and
bloody fux. The many remark kable
cures he has effected Of these diseases,
pronounced incurabie by the medical

remarks. His system of treatment he
learned more than forty years ago from
the Indians, and by which lie accomp-
llshed his own cure of chronic dysen-
terry of eleven years. standing. Since
then many persons have applied to him
when they had failed to obtain relief

be suffering from some Of the above dis

no other source, might be Immediately
cured by calling upon him at his resi-
