TEE SPECIAL COMMITTEES OF THIRT1-THREE
are understood to have devoted their session Of
yesterday to the discussion, in ten-miuutes'
speeches, Of the various propositions concerning
the future Of slavery in U. 8. Territories before
them. No result was obtained We regret to
add, that the disposition manifested by the North
Tin the committee) not to permit their section to
accord to the South what the Supreme Court has
adjudged to be their rights, was much more de-
cided than we had expected from the outside con-
vocational explanations Of their views previously
made by many Of the northern committee men,
Their proceedings make IL clear that as yet there
Is little hope that this Congress may do anything
In the way of aiding those at the South who
would save the Confederacy from disruption, in
that labor of true patriotism.
P.S.-It is understood that to-day the commit
tee win vote directly on what is regarded as the
Southern proposition with reference to that SUBJ
tecti which in substance is believed to be en-
braced In the already so popular plan explained
BY Senator Critteuden in his recent speech

A NV RuNoR EVERY FIVE MISurKs-Turn
as one will in Washington, a new and more ex.
citing rumor OF important events reaches his
ears, each succeeding one more exciting than the
last Thus, to-day We were told that telegraphic
di'patch had been received by the Government,
announcing that the South Carolina Convention
had passed the ordinance Of secession
In few brief moments afterwards we were
assured that another dispatch had also been re-
ceived, announcing the taking Of Fort Moultris
by South Carolina. In both Houses Of Congress
to-day, the subject Of similar rumors formed the
actual staple Of their discussion while we were in
their galleries.
All this reminded US forcibly Of what history
tells OF the State Of Athens wi hen in the beginning
Of the final decline Of her power, she was 80 srey

Government Is now by disunionists per Sc on the
one hand and abolitioniss on the other J as that all

had Its origin, SAYS John Taylor, high
authority, in the measurement Of tho earth
by the founders OF tho Great Pyramid.
They determined, with great exactness,
the proportion which the diameter OF q
circle bearsjo its circumference. and hav-
ing asco rtsined the measure Of the circum-
ference Of the earth, supposing Il to be a
perfect sphere, they divided the diameter
into SOC 600 600 Of units which we call in
ehes. This appears 10 have been the origin
OF our inch. The polar diam eter Of the
earth, according to Mr.. Airy's calculation
is equal TO sooasl. 40 Of these inches.
which measure 50 little exceeds the mean
