From Our Own Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Feb. 8, 1859.
A paper is being circulated by the Democratic
members, calling yet another csucus tomorro"
evening ostensibly to discuss not the Tariff alone,
but general topics affecting the party The list oil
names is headed by Mr.. Phelps, Chairman of the
Committee on Ways and Means. The Pennsylvania
Democrats are undecided whether to go in or not.
Their recent caucus appointed a committee to
consider the subject. The committee has not yet
come to determination.
The Military Committee Of the House last even
ing received communication from the Secretary
Of War in response to an inquiry of the Committee
whether it is not practicable to reduce expenses in
the transportation to remote military posts. In
his reply, Mr.. Floyd used the remarkable express
sion that a reduction would be practicable were it
not for the threats and demands Of members of
Congress.
The Legislative and Executive Appropriation bill
was nearly disposed Of and no considerable amend
ments effected. The Globe was reinstated In the
House after having been struck out in Committee
Tomorrow the Civil and Miscellaneous Appropria-
fion bill may possibly be reached when it will be
definitely ascertained what value may be attached
to Democratic intentions of retrenchment That
bill contains appropriations for lighthouses and
coast survey, both of which the recent Demo-
cratic caucus resolved to withhold. The general
sentiment of all parties appears to be in favor Of
materially restricting the coast expenses, reducing
them to merely nominal sum.
Mr.. Bgler made strong protection speech TO-
day. He s understood to reflect the views OF the
President. Messrs. Toombs and Hunter will reply.
There was very lively episode in The debate IN
The House Committee of the Whole on the Legisls-
tive and Executive Appropriation, between Mr..
Lovejoy ard Mr.. Singleton, ON Fugitive Slaves.
Mr.. Loyejoy made skillful retorts, which amused
the House and excited the Mississipian, who got
angry and became insulting He was promptly
called TO order from the Southern side Of the
hou,e, Mr.. Barksdale, who was in the chair, ex-
ertipg himself very fairly TO stop his coeagae's

 Truly, this is lamentable instance of hu- man depravity, when a minister of the Gospel convicts himself by his own witness of libel, and then instead of confessing it in manly way he loses his temper, and publishes a num- Der more libes.

 About twenty-one years ago, made the trip from Napoleon to this city. by the Arkansas river. The lower portion of the river was then nearly wilderness; now, it is justly re- garded as the centre of wealth and cultivation In leaving Little Rock fol, Pine Bluff, there is but little to attract any attention, if I except the beautiful residences and farms of Judge Campbell and our honorable member from this county w. Q. Pennington.
 Pine Bluff appears to be going ahead of any town (excuse me it may be city) that know of, in any portion of the state. A fine new court house graces the main streets intended to be fire proof with aooodea front portico!
 In leaving Pine Bluf, large cotton planta- tions begin to present themselves on eveY side. First comes the Armstrong place, which, with many others l may notice as I can best recol- lect. Col R. w. Johnson has beautiful place. we'll improved, showing him to be as good a farmer and planter as politcian--I think better Passing many highly cultivated places, the names or proprietors of whom have forgotten, Richland next comes in order-here had ex- pected to see quite town but was slightly dis- appointed.
