WASHINGTON. Dec. G, 1860.

WASHINGTON, Dec. G, 1860
This has been more quiet day in Congress than yes
terday but it is only the calm that precedes terrific
and devastating storm The majority Of the Senate, ad
monished by the mschievous effects Of the ebutons Of
yesterday went to the Capitol this morning resolved to
dscountenance any attempt TO the dangerous aud
irritating discussion. Thoughtful men on both sides OF
the Chamber condemn and depore the sprtn which the
debate was conducted tending to mutual irritation.
It may be revived Monday next when the proposition
70 appoint committee Of thirteen on the perlous
dtion of the Union shall come up but think not The
Senators from the cotton States have taken their stand
aud viii not care to talk.
The composition OF the committee Of thirythree on tie
state Of the Union announced to day by the Speaker
is calculated dspel the last lingering hope that any
good will come out Of that movement. Several Of the
members from the savehoding Stats are exactly the
persons most obnoxious to that section and no recon-
mendaton from such committee, therefore, is likely to
be received favoraby by the South. Had the Speaker
appointed men of the highest weight and influence from
all the States the result might have been different at
least there would have been small chance Of
commOdaon. But must confess that it signifies little
how the soothing system is attempted. Disunon is
tain.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9. 1860.


The commit ee on the crisis announced to-day does not
give satisfaction The men, with very few EXCEPTIONS
from several of the Southern States do not represent the
sentiment o those States. Whatever recommendation
the committee may make will be judged Of exclusively
upon its merits, and will receive no weight OF au
hOrity from the character Of the committee ITSELF The
Speaker has omitted good opportunity to elicit and put
before the country the views and recommendations OF he
more discreet Of the representative from the section
which considers itself in disgrace from the election Of
Lincoln.
caucus Of Southern Senators and Representatives is
being held this evening at Browns Hotel This is the first
conference that has been held Its OF ect is to consid
what action ought to be taken in regard to the commit
tee Of thryhree and whether any Of the cotton States
should meet with this committee. There il strong
puguaoce among the representatives of the five Gotten
States to meeting ell No decision, however up to
late hour, has been arrived at.

A Spiritual Marriage.

The Boston TraueIler tells theIstory of
the marriage of a dentist of that city with a
lady medium, his wonderful matrimonial
exper fences and the ultimate dissolution of
that affinity, after eighteen months. The
dentist was introduced, some two years
ago, to a lady whose husband had deserted
her, and gone to Kansas, since which she
had taken up the profession Of spiritual
mediulnship. She was fair and attractive,
and admiration Of her spiritual gift CON-
bined with her personal charms to capti-
vate the bachelors heart Besides the
spirits told them they were made for each
other, and they were willingly obedient to
the heavenly vision. They were married,
but the honeymoon had hardly began when
the wife became subject to strange frances,
during which she would pull her husband s
hair, scratch him and otherwise violently
belabor him, most commonly when he was
in bed and exposed and defenceless.
When she was aroused from the trance
she was full OF regrets at what had hap.
pened. At the bidding of the spirits he
took her with him to Texas, where she pro-
claimed him an abolitionist and he narrow
ly escaped violence at the hands of the
mob. When they got back. the spiritual
prosecutions continuing, and the poor hus-
band finding that his sufferings of mind,
body and estate were greater than he could
bear, suggested separation, and obtained
it by paying handsomely After the sepa-
ration the woman confessed that she had
imposed upon him throughout, that her
frances We're feigned, that she beat and
scratched him because she wanted to, that
all the spiritual messages she had receiv. d
were of her own manufacture. The dem
fist has had an experience hard enough to
make him wise, but he still believes in
Spiritualism, only he thinks the devil must
be In it.

Social filth.

The complaints Of filth in the streets are
numberleSS; but if street filth was the
only filth in Chris;endOm, how soon We
might be rid of it. 1t is bad enough, all
will admit, but not more precious than the
social filth with which we are contaminated
at every corner. Man overreaching man in
business, and Dragging about it toa crODy;
preachers insisting on morality IN the pull
pit, and in some secluded places practis-
ing the opposite Of their sermons; clerks
giving short weight and short measure !;
capitalists preying upon the necessities of
the unfortunate man who is trying to save
home; Judges lodging justice because
friend or party interests will be served !;
insr. Of the law urging on the suit of wrong
against right; officials doing some felon a
favor because he understands the machine.
rs by which men are nomin ted to and
k,in in office. This is the kind of filth
that mars existence and dcbil,atrs the so
ci,l system. The man VIII, converts dogs
into sausages is despised !; but the gent.
who purlons the last dollar of the orphan
in business way is respectable and
honest Ifthere was less preaching about
birthstone, and more attacks made by
preachers On the despicable tricks and
knayery OF men, churches would be visit
ed by larger congregations, and folks
would hav fewer conpunctions of con-
science. This is not new philosophy, but
the result Of tactics successfully practiced
by resident divine. IF you have clean
men, your streets will be clean, while
mere Office holders will bury you, not only
in the mud Of earth, but in the slush of
taxation
