When we can speak in words Of praise Of
Southern tyragogue established for the conserva.
ton of Tebraical Christianity, our readers will
witness that We do 20 with special propptness and
pleasure. The nan-seling Saints who grasp the
horns Of those august s.ars are usually so sayasey
religious, and 80 truculent in the quality Of their
grace, and in such an ecstatic mnddle anent Moses
and Onesimus, that the deyOtons of this colder
cline show pale and unripened in comparison; and
We always feel little better qualified to discuss
the Gospel according to Confacius than tbe Gospel
received by Southern professors. But bit Of
pews has reached US which fills us with the yelies.
hope an the rosie,t sntcipations. A paragraph is
floating through the sea of newspapers which in-
forms US that "Obe of tho SOuth-Carollaa

importation of the Wanderers slaves, has held .

and the Wanderers trade in particular. In what
temple this conyocation was held Of what variety
Of Southern Chrsti,ns ito members were repre-
,entatives, when these expressions Of disapproba-
ton were resolved upon and published, the mean
dering and unsatisfactory paragraph does not
inform u.s. But . short ex animation Of the resolu-
ton in question convinces that these godly gen.

proper appreciation of their terrestrial interests.

A liberal suppj of dubious morality has been
ventilated of late through certain journals on the
subecto of Prize Fighting and the alleged perncious
influence Of newspaper bulletins thereof Our own
views of the subject have been fully set FORTH and
peed not Low be resta,ed. But no circumstance
connected with Prze-Fightng has ever elected
such striking revelations of depravty in the co.,
duct of the Public Press as have been eylnced in
cor necton with certain recent qu,rrels among our
noted politicians. Every hasty ebulion Of temper
which may chance to be reciprocated is caught up,
and magnlfed, aud bfulted, with manifest eager
ness TO push the parties on to bloody combat;
and if this benevolent ihte1t ia b,led intense are
the thny disguised disgust and chagrin OF the bot
lie holders Consider, for example, the following
extracts, relative to tho recent quarrel between
Messrs Douglas End Fitch, from the Washington
Correspondents Of yesterdays Times:
"Ths recent passage at words in the Senate has
ended in column Of snail pica such being the fashion
Of the cay in these piping days o peace In the "ords

But the Little Giant has lost caste with the fighting

just consider that there is most stringent
act of Congress- passed BY sub'tanti,lly unanl-
moos vote, which denounces all manner OF dis-
abilities ard penalties against every Member Of
Congress concerned not merely 10 lighting duel
but in sending challenge. This act is binding
upoa all meD, but even more imperstively upon
Northern Members, who emphsticaIly represent
the sentiment hich called it into existence. And
why should Messrs. Fitch and Douglas have rem

The Pacific Railroad bill was killed yesterday in

The Pacific Railroad bill was killed yesterday in
the Senate by eide blow. The vote was decisive
-3S to 20. We do not mourn, though we
ardently desire aud hope to chronicle the construc
ton of that Road. But i: must be business en-
terprise; and Congress must approach it 10 busi-
ness spirit Our Country and its Federal Govern
ment urgently need Railroad connection between
its Eastern and its Western States-need Rail
road connecting the Valley Of the Mississippi with
the Pacisc Ocean, Our Mails, Military service,
Indian relations, the security of our West
ern posse ssons, all imperatiVely demand the
early construction Of such q Road. But the
Government can neither build nor run it
economically or effciently-it can only Gre
ate and sustain such o Road by strengthen
ing the hands of private enterprise. Let it offer to
give two or FIVE, or tep) miles in width on each side
of such Road to that Company which without re-
strcton a. to route) sha give good security to put
through such a Road, within ten years, for the
smallest possible bonus or subvention from the
Treasury, and some Twenty to Forty Millions
(Jef. Davis says Ten) will give us the Road; and
the increased sales of Public Lands, BY reason OF
such constru ction will fully reimburse its cost to
the Treasury. We may thus have Pacific Rail-
road virtually for nothing if We WILL and may
thereby save millions per annum in the Transports
ton Of Mails, Munitions, Troops, &C., &c. We
believe yesterdays vote has not clouded the pros
pect Of having such Road.

The House, yesterday, twice voted down the
Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation bil-94 to
81 On the last division. This vote proves that our
Diplomatic service begins to be recognized, even
in high quarters as the nuisance it really is; but
it does not prove that the bill is really dead, as it
would seem. 1t will doubtless be revised and
passed--we trust with salutary notifications.

We print to-day the points in the case of Messrs.
McCarty and Lane, U. y. Senators elect from In
diane, as submitted by them to the Judiciary
Committee. The brief is a very strong one-in
fact, overwhelming. 1t would overbear any resist
ance but that Of conscience-seared majority, In
tent on committing and persistiDg in fragrant and
criminal usurpatiOn. But seven arch-angels sent
directly from Heaven, and expressly to warn the
Democratic majority not to persist in upholding
the usurpers, Bright and Fitch, could effect
nothing. The thirty who voted to deny Messrs.
Lsne and McCarty the poor courtesy of seat on
TIE floor while their rights are being canvassed,
are manifesty deaf alike to the demands of Justice
and those of decency. Messrs. Lane and McCarty
will be denied the seats to which they have been
chosen; but We trust they will present their Gre
dentials afresh to the new Senate which will prob
ably meet on the 4th Of March, and will then have
a more candid hearing Then the seats Of Jones
