MISSOURI.

The Democratic State Convention, after stormy
session, succeeded in pleasing their opponents by
the nomination of Claiborne +. Jackson for Cover
nor. He was one of the earliest and bitterest DEM
ocratic adyersaries of Col. Benton. He was an
early disciple Of John c. Calhoun, and bore lead
ing part in the ejectment of Col. Benton from tho

could not have been better suited in Democratic

1t is gratifying to know that at least one OF the
tyrants of the quarterback has received something
like his deserts. One George Dawer, mate of the
ship HummiDg Bird, was convicted yesterday OF
manslaughter and sentenced by Justice Smaey, Of
the United States Circuit Court, in this city, for
causing the death of sailor named james Hum
phreys. It was shown that the deceased, an ordi-
nary seaman, was i'll used by the prisoner before
the vessel left her anchorage; that he beat kicked,
and otherwise maltreated the poor fellow, till he
became incapable of doing duty; and that while
he was suffering from this ill usage, and unfit for
duty, the prisoner compelled him to 90 aloft on a
rtormy night, and, while he was there, kicked and
struck him, and drove him to descend by the back
stays-in the best Of weather danger
GUS and unusual mode of descent. In get
ting down, be was carried overheard, and
drowned. For this, which common-sense folk
would call murder, the accused has been convicted
of granddaughter. His Honor, Judge Smaley, truly
remarked that the abuse and ill-treatment of sea-
men BY their supefiors had become crying evil,
which imperativey calls upon the strong arm OF the
law to interpose for their protection. The evidence
showed that the prisoners case was an aggravated
one and the Court sentenced him to three years
imprisonment at Sing Sing, and $500 fine. While
we think the punishment wholly disproportionate
to the enormty of the crime, we are happy to know
that the wrongs of the poor sailor are not wholly
unsvenged. This is the second officer convicted
this term in the same Court for like ofense. Let
us hope that the good work will 20 until the seas
are swept of all such inhuman scoundrels.

WASHINGTON, Thursday, April 10, 1861
EXCITING DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
A very animated and exciting debate took place
to-day in the Senate, involving the % irrepressble
conflict" and personalities of most pointed char
acter. 1t held the Senate till o'clock. The per-
soDal passages were between JEFF. Davis and Mr..
Wilson. The debate was on an appropriation for
schools in this city and of course the negro question
came in. The debate was maintained with great
spirit and ability on the Republican side by essrs
Harlan and Wilson, Mr.. Clark aiding with some
sharp observations and Mr.. Fessenden throwing a
single bot shot on the uIner side. Messrs. Brown,
JEFF. Davis, and Bay participated, and talked an
indefinite amount of nonsense aDocut negro equahty
Mr.. Davis was "a crank and irritable as usual.
Mr.. Wilson bore on him very hard, and assumed a
bold and becoming attitude. The Senate was full
ard attentive to the last.
THE CASE OF MEssRs. POTTER AND PRYOR.
Messrs. Potter and Pryor have been absent ali
day. 1t is esteemed unfortunate that difficulty
which has no substantial foundation, and is with
like Mr.. Pryor, should go so far, for it seems
as if it must be settled without fight. There is
no stomach on the Northern side for the burlesque
perform ances of the South in the dueling line. But
there is an eageness to stop bullying. Mr.. Potter
may be found disposed to go in this direction be-
yond what the DULLES anticipate. Mr.. Pyor's
whole proceedings have been gratuitously insulting
and irritating,
TIE PRYOR AND POTTER AFFAIR.
The city has been excited with rumors all day in
regard to the affair between Messrs. Pryor aud
Potter, and toward the close of the sitting it was
difficult to command any attention in the House,
so general was the interest and feeling on the sub
ject The material facts are, so far as can be
ascertained from most reliable sources, that after
Mr. Hindman delivered message from Mr.. Pryor
to Mr. Potter yesterday, Mr. Pryor left the city in
the evening and went to Alexandria. He was
joined there this morning by Messrs. Miles and
Keitt, the former being u substitute for Mr. Hind.
man, who had previously arranged to leave the city
to-day for Arkansas.
The abfence of Messrs. Miles and Keitt from the
House, during the early part Of the day, favored
the impression that hostile meeting had taken
place. or was about to occur, and that fact was
made the basis ofmany exaggerated reports. About
o'clock they both appeared on the floor, and then
stories were current of duel its termination in
different forms, which were subsequently replaced
with other statements to the effect that Mr. Potter
had accepted the challenge, and named rifles at 100
or $50 yards, or bowie knives, as the weapons. All
these rumors were unfounded.
Up TO this time, but one note has passed. and
Mr.. Potter has not determined on his course, He

We trust no reader will pass our brief report
Of yesterdays sayings in the Senate. Congress
being about to appropriate $4,000 (wrongfully)
for the support Of the Common Schools in the Dis
trict of Columbia, Mr.. Clark of N. H. proposed
that the children of African descent be allowed to
share in this bounty. This excited q debate,
wherein most Of the Democratic Senators seemed
ashamed of the necessity imposed on them of resist
ing this measure of tardy and partial justice to an
abused and trampled race. Mr. Mason Of Va. Of
course did not share in this emotion. Gen. Wilson
of Mass. ventured to utter some humane senti-
ments, for which JEFF. Davis seemed to want TO
bully him into duel Has JEFF. forgotten his lit.
tie affair with Col. Bssell Of nlinoisi II he has,
others have not. Gen. Wilson answered as be-
came man, and JEFF. protested himself satisfied.
There the days work ended.

character shall be taken up during the three weeks
wherein the Conventions are held, but let debates

measures which excite no party feeling be vigor-

such that the People may prefer to have National
Conventions held hereafter through half the weeks

The House yesterday talked about the Pacific
Telegraph, but came to no conclusion, and then
took up the tariff bill and talked about Slavery,
without trying to reach conclusion. Some spicy
words were spoken, but the general interest seemed
to be absorbed in the two coDspcuously absent
Members, Messrs. Potter and Pryor, and the day
passed, on the whole, rather more tamely than
usual.

ture:
Henry Martin ald Isaac Gagnon, one with load
of hay, the other with load of corn meal, were
travelling on the ice of Little Bay de Noquet. About
4 o'clock P. NJ, they discovered crack which cut
them off from the shore, and that the ice which
they were was floating them out into Green Bay,
towards Deaths Door. They embarrassed their
horses and let them CO. and took the box off one Of
the sleds, to use in case they got into the water
AT midnight, being exhausted, they lay down under
the lee of a hummock of ice. In the morning, at
O'Clock, they saw land, which proved to be WASH
ington Island, and they landed outside Deaths
Door. They had thus been driven thirty miles
across the Bay, in one of the heaviest gales that
ever bfowed. The horses, after being loosed, fol-
lowed the men in their rambles on the ice, until
coming to a weak place they went in. Two hours
later one of the horses swan up to the cake on
