prnted-it has living, prospecting look that like to

INCREASE IN THE NAvY.-We learn from the Wash
ington States that the House Committee on Naval AT
fairs have authorized Mr. WinsloW to report bill ad
ding twenty additional pursers, eleven surgeons and M
teen assistant surgeons to the number already existing

This increase the States says, is much needed, and
will doubtless be made by Congress. A bill to in
crease the Marine force will also be reported shortly and
will probably be adopted.

The DanyIIle Connection,

A Geographic despatch, received by us on Saturday
evening from gentleman of this town in Raleigh
informs us of the defeat of the Danve Connection Bill
in the House by vote of 81 yeas to IS nays maori-
ty against the Bill 28 The adverse vote of IS would
give clear majority of ten against the Bill supposng
every vote to be cast We regard the passage of the
Bill at this session as impossibility. It is losing
rather than gaining ground.

the bed being pushed against the wall complete
ly hid their work from view The bricks they
took out were concealed in the drum of stove
and the dirt or plaster removed in the course of
their work was placed between the bed clothes.
They acknowledge that they have been at
work week In making the aperture in the wall.
Their cell being on the first floor the aperture
was lot more than Eve feet from the pavement
of the yard, and when freed of their shaekles
their recess to the yard was but smoothe brick
wall about Is feet high. To scale this the imbers
of the scaffold on which Brown was hung they
placed against the WALL and succeeded in reach
ing the top, from which they could have easily
dropped to the other side, had not the vigilance
of the sentinel on duty 30 quickly checked their
movements 81 .--..-., =. -.
They were arrested in the yard by Gen.
Taliaferro and an officer of the day, who rushed
to the yard the moment the alarm was given
Sheriff Cambell and Capt. Avis are of course
chngrined at This narrow escape, especially as
they had resisted all interference of the militia
ry with theinterior discipline of the JAIL 4,
The prisoners were shrewd and cunning fel-
lows, and were undoubtedly without accom-
plices in their undertaking. 5ts -.
Their friends who had not yet left Charles
town were fearful that they might be suspected
of having knowledge of the attempt. i.
The impression is that had the prisoners watt
ed until midnight or later they might have
reached the mountains, but it is presumed they
were fearful of being watched during the night,
or desired to have as much darkness as possible
to gain good distance before daylight would
allow of general pursuit.

Mr.. Hallin L. Mr.. Fitzpatrick then took
the chair.
HoUsE-Mr. Singleton was replying to
Mr.. Hickman, expostulating, and denied
the latter's charge that the South had vio-
lated the compact and compromises
Where aud when had the South demand
ed anything more than they were entitled
to under the Constitution! Whereverag-
gressions had been made they were by the
stronger on the weaker section, and the
South was obliged to take her present
stand with view to preserve factional Sec
tions.
Mr.. Hickman said he would reply by
asking question.
Mr.. Singleton remarked that that was q
Yankee way he didn't like. i.,..
Mr. Hickman said that if he understood
the history of legislation in 1850 and
1854, there was demand made from the
South that the Missouri Compromise line
should be repealed, inasmuch as it pre-
vented slavery north of SO deg. 80 min.,
and was unjust to the south, which went
almost in body for its repeal, and with
the aid of a few Northern representatives
accomplished it. In return they gave the
North what he (Mr. Hickman) considered
was distinct pledge, namely: that the
question of slavery from that day forward
should cease to be agitated in Congress,
and the settlement of the whole question
be left to the people of the Territories for
their determination. r5-t s
Mr.. Singleton, of Miss, spoke of the
chivalric son of the South, Jefferson Davis,
who had been leader in the war with
Mexico, that he might again lead an army.
He said the South would extend into a
government, and would take possession and
administer the estate. a4 e

which was as follows: Sherman l12, Bo-
cock S5, Boteler 21, Scattering IL. Whole
number of votes 23O; necessary to choice

Mr.. Bocock then said he consented to
the use of his name as candidate for

raAying point for all opposed iowhat term

8 No SPEAKER YET.-Ths lower House
eft Congress has not yet organized, and that
event seems to be as far in the future, as
ever. Well, well, the Republicans can
stand this state of things as well as the pro-
slavery men. The South threatens dis
union, and their tools in the North say
aAmen." The demands Of the slave hold
ers have been accquiesced in for years upon
years, until that point has been reached
when the North must either call halt OF
make an entire surrender of. its rights to
the South. The latter say thatunless this
IS done the Union will be dissolved, and
there is not in Congress Northern demo-
cratic dough-face with enough of pluck in
him torebuke the South for its intolerance.
Butinstead of this, they are crouchipg at the
footstool of Slavery, licking the very spittle
from off its feet. We hope Northern Re
publicans will remain firm, and if the Union
must 60, why, "let her slide." ea
