Correspondence Of tie Alerandria Gazette.
RIcHNoyD, Feb. 6.--The time of the
House Of Delegates was taken up to-day in
the consideration Of a resolution offered by
Mr.. Bassel, of Upshur, calling upon the
First Auditor for information as TO what
would probably be the state of the Treasury
on the lst of October, 1860 and 1861, ii
view of the appropriations already made to
Internal improvements The resolution was
amended in several particulars, and several
items of large amounts not estimated for, as
well as receipts from defaulting Sheritfs IN
cluded. Cen. Chapman, of Monroe, showed
most conclusively that there was no danger
to be apprehended, and that the Legislature
could safely 90 to s.. 900, 900 if they chose to
do so. The report of the First Auditor will
be made in few days, and will possibly
quiet the nerves of the anti-lnterna I'm
proyement party who are so anxious always
to sustain the public credit, but have very
strange way of showing it.
The bill for the relief of S. Shinn for
supplies furnished Capt. Fairiax's Company,
Sl05, passed the House to-day.
The Internal Improvement bills were pas
sed by till tomorrow.
The Court of Appeals to-day gave in th6lr
opinion in the case of the Fredericksburg
and Potomac Creek Road, against the Cen
trail and Orange Railroad Companies. The
decision is that the latter account for all
through tickets given, unless it can be shown
that the passengers would not have gone
underany circumstances over the Fredericks-
burg Road, but does not make them ac-
countable for tickets TO Gordonsvlle, or from
Gordonsyille to Alexandria, and that these
tickets can be sold as heretofore. The q
mount involved is S50,000or 100000, which
will have to be paid back; but, Of course,
through tickets will be at once abolished.
The Senate passed the joint resolution
respecting giving notice to the securities Of
delinquent Sherifs and Collectors by insert
ing twice year the names in the papers of
Richmond.
The Senate did not agree to take up the
Internal Improvement bills to-day, by de
cided vote. They wait the Auditor'sreport
but there is little dopbt of their passage.

The Democratic Creed.

A contemporary justly observes that 1t can
not be charged upon the Democratic party
that it is chased upon single idea" 1t IS
trying to stand, Just now on tho basis OF a
dozen or two conflicting ideas. The jemo-
cratic electoneerer who travels around among
his own party, this year. will have hard
time of it, lie viii be expected to avow q
different set Of principles at each place In
Illinois he must swear that Popular Sover-
eighty is the true doctrine, and in Virginia
that it is rank heresy. lie must mount the
Pacific Railroad Platform in Missouri, but
back square down off it il Georgia. In Phil
adelphia he must unfurl the banner Of Spe-
cifc Duties" in Richmond of "Ad Valorem
Duties" and in Charleston ofno duties at all
He may save the Union in New York, but
he must dissolve it again in Mississippi. In
Michigan he can denounce Fillibusters, but
in Louisiana he must take them by the hand
and bid them God speed. His Democratic
hearers may cheer him if he opposes the
Slave Trade in Connecticut, but they will per
hapS tar and feather him if he does il in
Georgia. IS 10 the Fishing Bounties he has
only to believe item just and proper in
Maine, and an atrocious swiqale in Alabama.
lie can then complete this part.-colored
creed by whispering his dislike Of Ierritor-
ial Slave Code in New England, and shouting
his admiration Of it in South CaroiHa.-

to, and upon the projection scarcely visible
from the ground, she reached, at the distance
of about forty feet from her room window,
place where it was necessary for her to
jump about twelve feet 10 the roof Of the
west wing.
The leap was taken-proyed safe one.
and the dauntess woman next fastened TO
the corner of the roof q rope which she
manufactured of her bedding, grasped 1t
in her hands, and swinging from the rooi

over windows where other conyicts were
sleeping, and down to terra tirma, where,
at distance of forty-fve feet below the
roof, she alighted in the arms of man
named Cheeseman her confederate in guilt.
The guilty pair Left the city after the scene
narrated, but in few days both we're again
in the custody of the law-the girl IN the
penitentiary, and Cheeseman in JAM.

Louis Napoleon is as much ''the State" as
Louis XIV ever was. In the last number of
the Westminster Review, in an article on
Paris, it ia stated that the Emperor, all pow
erful as he is supposed to be, cannot abro-
gate at pleasure the laws of the Empire
and "that he knows it ID perfectly useless
to attempt the introduction CT free trade.
Mr.. Golden has more influence in England
than the great parsonage who is continually

II is only necessary to read the details OF the

very matter of free trade. Louis Napoleon
