Meeting OF Congress.

Congress met on yesterday, but the question
of the Speskership of the House OF Representa-
tiyes is still in doubt The three political diyis
ions of its members each met ia caucus on Sat
urday, but their consultations did but little else
than develop the manner in which the strug-
gle will be commenced. The Democrats nomi-
mated Hon. 7. S. Bocock, of Virginia, for Speak
or, but made no nominations for the other offices
thus indicating their willingness to divide with
the anti Lecompton Democrats and the South
ern Opposition, on condition of receiving aid II
the election OF Mr. Bocook. Several of the An
ti-Lecompton members attended the caucus, and
support of others is relied upon. The Republi-
can caucus made no nominations, but LETT each
member free to vote for his choice. A willing
ness was expressed to vote for an American Of
Lecompton Clerk, OF condition Of the election o.
Republican Speaker. The caucus was attend
ed by a number of Northern Opposition MEM
bers. The Southern Opposition members mel
in caucus also, but made no nominations.
We look forward to this session Of Congress
with some forebodirgs. We fear that Presi-
dent-making and not the real interests of the
country, viii occupy the attention of the mem
bers, and that instead of striving to allay sec
tional excitement, rival factions will only en-
desvor to make party capital out of Harper's
Ferry and John Brown.

LETTER TO john BRowN.-The following let
ter to John Brown was communicated to the
New York Express by the Hon. Andrew Hun
ter. of Virginia.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Nov. 20, 1859,
Sir:-Although vengeance is not mine, con-
TESS that do feel grateful to hear that you were
stopped 10 your selfish career at Harpers Ferry.
With the loss Of your two sons, you can now ap
preciate my distress in Kansas, when you then
and there entered my house at midnight, and
arrested my husband and two boys, and took
them out of the yard and in cold blood shot them
dead in my hearing. You can't say you did it
to free our slaves We had none and never ex-
pected to own one 1t has only made me poor
disconsolate widow with helpless children
While | feel for your folly, | do hope and trust
that you will meet your just reward. Oh how
it panied my heart to hear the dying groans of
my husband and children. If this scrawl gives
you any consolation you are welcome to it.
MAHALY DOYLE.
N. B.-My son John Doyle, whose life beg
ged of you is now grown up and is very desi
rous to be in Charlestown on the day of your
execution, and would certainly be there if his
means would permit it. M. DOYLE.
A letter from Charlestown, on the 1st says,
the feeling produced against Brown by Mrs.
Doyle's letter, the charge of numbering her hus-
band and two sons, not being denied by him, is
most intense He is no longer admired for his
truthtulness and bravery, but is now regarded as
hardened and unprincipled hypocrite. He is
understood to be endeavorng to explain in the
letters and statements he is writing, the motives
that governed him in his Kansas work.

Additional advices by the Europa bring one
day later foreign news. The Chinese are re

with the United States, but reports on Chinese
affairs coming through English mediums of in
formation are to be received with caution. Aus
tria and England are said to have both protested
against Regency for Central Italy, and the
Ohevalier Buoncompagnie would resign the of
fee to the King of Sardinia.
The London Times has disqueting article
about the relations between England and France
1t complains that the French press is fomentinl
animoslties against England, while the French
army is taught to look on war with England
as not remote, while no serious questions are a
issue.
The French Projects are instructed to invite
the French journals to be more circumspect il
the language they employ towards England.
Garibaldi is said to have been named Lieuten
ant. General of the Sandman army.
Two British war steamers had succeeded il
bringing off three hundred and fifty Christian.
from the small ports OF Morocco. A genera

What South Carolina Says.

The Charleston Mercury is extensively disgust
ed sat the broad aud pathetic farce that has been
played off before the public about the hanging
of that hoary villain, odd Brown" The march
es and counter marches of the ponies and cessa
ton of ponies-Governor Wise, the energetic
and his troops" &c. &C., have stirred the bile Of
that journal TO its lowest depths. This is GER
tainly 'the unkindest cut of ALL" But in the
midst of its retching the Mercury finds consola-
ton in the growth Qflisunion sentiments in Vir'
gina. 1t says:
"We are happy to perceive decided change
in the tone of the public press OF Virginia, lnd-
cative, we trust, of q change also in her people
The Richmond Wing no longer advocates u
pion of Southern Wings and Black Republicans
to control the House of Representatives or win
the Presidential election. The Richmond Ex-
aminer no longer urges that the South should be
ignored in the Charleston Convention, and TIE
Democratic party at the North be alone relied
on to vindcate these rights, although they will
not, or dare not, avow them. Hunter and
Douglas do not make ugly faces from columns
ia kaleidoscope harmony. Spells and PRESIDENT
making, removed to an advantageous distance
by the decided overthrow of the Democratic
party throughout the Northern States, seem now
subordinate to Southern safety and honor. The
signs are cheering that Virginia will be herself
again. The boast of one of her presses that there
are no disuuionists in Virginia. if true six months
ago, we trust is now thing of history, never q.
gain to be asserted, until the South is safe and
free in the Union, or independent out of it."
Resolutions have been offered in the South
Carolina House of Representatives looking to the
establishment of Southern Confederacy.

DIR. Howe, of Boston.

The Montreal (Canada) Gazette of the 26th
ult., has the following: "We learn that DIR. s.
G. Howe, of Boston, whose explicit denial of bis
alleged completely in the Harper's Ferry affair,
we published yesterday, from Boston paper,
arrived at the St. Lawrence Hall on Wednesday
last. He contemplates, we understand, making
some stay in Canada, partly with view of ac-
quaiuting himself with the condition OF the hos
pitfalls and other philanthropic institutions" We
are glad to learn that DR.. Howe has resumed his
philanthropic Investigations into the hospitals
and other humane institutions, at this particular
juncture. lie probably knows that there is a
Lunatic Asylum in this place, and also an insti-
tuition for the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind
The month of May next will be very favorable
time for visiting these institutions. The wealth
err will then be fine, and the Doctor will expert
ence an agreeable change after winter's sojourn
in the bleak climate of Canada. He must come
on and acquaint himself with the condition of our
institutions. We hope he will be in the way
of receiving little ticket inviting him to
come on, about the time of Stevens trial before
the Federal Court.
