can citizens who go abroad and engage in
commerce, Senator DAVIS thought there was
a higher and holier duty stiIl-to preserve
our government at home. He could not see
to what limit we should not run, if the Execu-
tive is to be invested with the power to send
the land and naval forces to redress such
wrongs as be may consider to have been per-
petrated; to land troops wherever he may
please, according to the lofty sentiment OF
the Senator from Illinois; not restricting him.
self to weak powers, but extending also to
the strong. Whenever ambition or any other
motive should induce the President to have a
war with England or France, he has nothing
to do but to land handful of men, who
would certainly be whipped off the coast.
and involve this country in war; also, there
would be presented the humilating spectacle
of the flag of the United States trodden
under foot by a powerful nation. and the
American Congress shrinking from its defence
by voting a censnre on their Chief Executive
Such alternatives as these, Senator DAVIS
said. did not commend themselves TO his con-
sideration. He did not, in fact, understand
the President. as asking ali this of Congress
He understood him. the President. very care
fully to guard the transfer of the war-making
power 10y such re,triotions as the wisdom OF
Congress shall decree; and. for one, he, Mr..
DAVIS. would restrict it to the special case
which was known to exist, and to the time
within which it was necessary to use it. Ii
it were designed to give the President row
ing commission to seek where some American
citizen had been insulted. or his rights tram
pied upon, and with regular knight-errantry-
like chivalry, there to wage war with every
Power. we had better put our Army on a
war establishment, and our Navy, too, and
declare our policy henceforth to be military

At our latest dates from Washington the
Senate had come to no decision on the sub jet.

In addition to the above removed the 40

gun ship. the Chesma. used formerly as a
prison ship; the frigate Cavarna, also a frig-
ate which was formerly used for prison ship;

l have recently had important concessions
granted by the government. having just
completed the contract by which they gave
all the properly, instead of one-half as here
tofore-the above arrangement to commence
from the goth of last June; therefore, all the
vessels and property recovered since that
date belong to the company.
We are now busily engaged in the various
branches of the work. We have sixty
carpenters engaged on two immense caissons,
under the superintendent of an old Bostoni-
an-Capt. Samuel +. Holbrook. They will
be completed early in the spring. when we
shall raise some of the largest ships, which
are estimated to be worth 100000 silver
roubles each; and of the raising of them
there is no possible question. We have
recently purchased from Constantinople a
fine steam tug boat of fifty horse power
which we find very useful. The new caissons
will cost about 25 900 silver ronbles, and are
paid for. Our steamer cost 10000 and is
also paid for, and not one cent has been
drawn from the Company at home. We have
large amount Of property on hand. besides
the vessels. such as copper. brass $50 tons of
pig iron. 100 tons of wrought iron, 200 tons
of rope, large quantities Of lead, chains and
anchors of all sizes and dimensions. Thus il

United States, if not effective.
There are also five fine war steamers, with
copper boilers, that | shall take up in the
Spriug. The boilers alone weigh forty-two
tons each, and are worth $4,000 each for
old copper. JOHN f. GowEN.

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM IMMINENT
PERIL--At ten o'clock, Thursday night, the
passenger train going from the city on the
Iron Mountain Railroad was stopped near
fuckers station, some four miles below Ca
rondelet, by signal lights on the track ahead.
The party showing the lights proved to be
Mr.. Madison Miller, who stated that an i'm
mcnse rock had fallen from the cliffs above
upon the track, and was still lying across the
rail at the right The three cars were filled
with ladies and gentlemen, from whom a most
frightful disaster was thus averted.
The manner in which Mr.. Miller became APP
prised of this imminent peril to the train
seems to have been purely accidental--oI
rather ProVidential. Some fishermen, who
were out ut late hour. were passing up the
track, and discovered the fallen rock. They
FASTENED to Carondclet, and, without know
ing Mr.. Miller or his residence, first commu-
nicated the intelligence to him at his house

Distressing nair-A bride and 9th ers
Fatally Burned.

BY passengers from Lebanon we learn of a
most distressing affair which occurred near
that place yesterday. Miss Susan Shuck,
daughter of John Shuck. Esq. was to have
been married to Mr.. John Thomas at II
o'clock. But few minutes prior to the time
the ceremony was to be performed, her dress
accidentally caught on fire, and the wedding
dress which was of thin material, was in
stantly in blaze, and the young lady was
fatally burned. Her sister, Mrs. Burr Har-
rison, in her efforts TO save her, fired her own
dress, and was perhaps even more severely
burned. There is but little hope of her
recovery it is feared. Mr.. Shuck and other
members of the family, who also tried to
relieve the Young lady from her perilous sit
uation. were burned, but not seriously. The
scene was terrifying beyond the expression of
language.
The bride was badly burnt from the waist
up, and the hair burned from her head. After
her wounds were dressed, and while she, lay
upon her couch, suffering the intensest agony,
the marriage ceremony was performed.
Rooms had been prepared at the National
Hotel, in this city, for the bridal party, and
they were to leave by the evening train
Lou. COur.
The young bride has since died of her
wounds.

A CASE OF DEsERTIoN--A young lady resi-

remaining at the Gault House several days

new-made bride without money, amidst
strangers. The young lady being unable to
pay the board bill, her baggage was retained

THE COMING CANVASS IN VIRGINIA.--We
repnblsh this morning from the Richmond
Enquirer, an article upon the state of political
affairs in Virginia, and commend it TO the
attention of our readers. 1t will be seen that
the old democratic organ does not consider a
democratic triumph in the ensuing elections
as sure thing.
