ExrLANAToRY-In some remarks Of ours on the state
Of feeling at Washington City, published few days
since in the J0uncl, stated upon the authority Of
Mr.. Mcdowell of Bladen County, just returned from
the National Capital that the reports in the papers
give but feeble notion of the state of feeling at Wash
ington which is unparalleled for its intensity as it is for
its bitterness
Thus far Mr. Mcdowell for the other remarks con-
tanned in that article Mr.. Mcdowell has no responsible
ity and is not given as authority, the Fayetteville
Observer appears to think For good or evil these re-
marks wholly our own We will add another re-
mark or two to them-oneis that while we dislike buster
and display, we feel assured that Mr. Prior means we'll
for his section and his ailings lean to the right side
But one will ever Mr.. Gmer of overzeal for
the South. Even at the North, National men accuse
him Of playing nsdiousy into the hands of the Repub
icars. Wherein Mr.. Prior raked John A. Gilmer, he
did not hit lick amiss and he hit him pretty hard
blows

RGFp A new and decidedly startling Development has
been made in the House OF Representatives by the
nouncement from Mr.. Haskns, OF New York that the
antIecompton Democrats would not in any event vote
for or cooperate with regular Democratic who had
voted for or would have voted for the Kansas policy Of
the administration Ga Friday, MIR. Haskns said there
were eight Democrats who stood thus-that is the
Der of the Fomeyites. MIR. Hickman, Of Pa, said on
Saturday that he would vote for Black Republican,
rather THAI friend Of the administration.
MI Smith, Of Virginia, in reply to Mr.. Hickman,
said truly that Icmans course for two years past had
left no doubt that he would at last land in the Republi
can ranks and he wanted him to speak out and say SO
at once Mr.. Smith was right; any man who com
mences Irritation with Black Rcpubcanism has taken
step that is pretty to separate him from the Dem
ocratic party and land him in the ranks of tie oppos
ton.
A question acW suggest itself Are these predeter-
mined opponents, not simply of the administration but
of the Democratic party-these eight who put them
selves up in opposition to the IS as the simon pure
Democrats-are these the friends and opponents Of
Mr.. Douglas, they not They are per sc toe
contemplate fer notice, although circumstances may
give them fictitious Importance at the present time
1t is very little odds what they personally do but it may
be worth while to ask if they have any right to be con
sdered representative If they be so consider
cd all doubts will be solved. If they announce the
Douglas policy and programme, then surely Southern
10an can longer hesitate in his towards Mr
Douglas. Ii Hickman and Haslins speak for Douglas
then Douglas like Hickman and Haskins has taken tin
final step that separates him from the Democratic party
If Judge Douglas has any friend who feels authorized
to contradict this assumpton-fees authorized to STATE
that these do not speak Judge Douglas sentiments
it is full time that such friend should speak out. IT, in
Decd the thing so, and these do speak Mr. Doug
las sentiments then let US know it, it is full time tina
we should. The Democratic party is now the South
that is predomnaes at the South and speaks for tn
South and the South is in dead earnest so is the Demo
cratic party.

True Conservatism.

A friend in this city has placed in our hands copy
of the Argus and Spectator, journal published at New
port, n. H. bearing date Dec 2. 1t was sent to the
gentleman who handed it to US by ris Boston CORES

precious carcasses out of DANGER rats are to keep

We notice this New Hampshire paper for the pur
pose of commencing the warm and generous spirit in
which it editoria denounces the Brown outrages upon
Virginia and all its guilty siders and abettors in the
Black Republican and Abolition ranks. 1t handles the
traitorous inciers and accessories to the vianous
foray with gloves off, and in doing discharges with
fidelity its high public duties. But its editorial column
is not the only interesting one IN the number OF the
argus and Spectator before 1t contains another
article copied from the Union Democrat published we

consequences of such calamity to the North The toll

Postmaster at Falls Church, Va.

GRAT1TUDE-There is an old proverb which warns
us that the last person from whom should expect to
receive favor is the upon whom have literally
bestowed favors. And it is not unusual for persons to
experience positive aversion towards those who have
done them great services an aversion they struggle
against-they ashamed of-they despise themselves
for entertanngand yet are even keeny conscious of
feeling. Is not this very often the consequence of the
in which the services have been rendered. Moth
ing thoroughly destroys the beauty of act of kind
the desire for, the expectation of graft
tude And yet nothing is more common.

Tue FALL OF THE MIssIssIPPI.-The
rate OF descent necessary to produce a
rapid current in river is very slight
A fall of ten inches to the mile is suffi
Gent to obstruct navigation. 1t is ow-
ing to the very slight descent in the
Mississippi River, that 1t is navigable to
so great an extent. We learn from an
article in the Journal of the Geographic
al and Statistical Society, that the rate of
descent in that river, below its junction
with the Ohio, is but 30 inches to the
mile; and from the mouth Of the Min
nesota to the Ohio, 5.76 inches. The
total fall, from the mouth of the Mime
nesota to the Gulf, 2,l92 miles. is 744
feet or at the rate of 4.O7 inches to the
mile. The greatest fall is between Rock
Island Rapids and the Ohio-6.4 inches
to the milo.

I SHALL publish the DAILY GLOBE and the

the next session of Congress. The Daily Globe
will contain report of the debates in both
branches Of Congress, as taken down by report
ers equal, at least, to any corps of any short
hand writers in this or any country. When the
debates of day do not make more than forty
five columns, they shall appear in the Daily
Globe of the next morning, which will contain
also the news Of the day, together with such
editorial articles as may be suggested by pas
sing events.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
contain report of all the debates in Congress,
revised by the speakers, the Messages Of the
President of the United States. the annual re-
ports Of the heads of the Executive Departments,
the reports Of the Committees Of Congress on
important subjcc OF general interest, the laws
passed during the session, and copious indexes
to all. They will be printed on II double royal
sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each num-
Der containing sixteen pages, averaging 1897
words per page. The whole will make between

six months and in about one hundred other
newspapers in the United States a reward of
$2l5, to be paid to amy person who would pro-
pucc a book published at SO low rate, and none
was produced. The large number of copies
subscribed for by Congress, enables me to afford
