A bill recently introduced by Senator Lane
provides for the settlement Of the Oregon and
Washington war debt Of 1855. s, according to
the Military Convention, who spent twelve
months in tho examination Of claims to guard
against speoulations. The money is proposed
to be paid only to the original claimants, or
their legal attorneys or assigness. The
amount involved is about $5,00O,0 900. The
bill is altogether Independent of the measure
now in progress at the Treasury Department
Tor scaling the various items to the army
standard.
1t is known that Senator Toombs, during
the Congressional races, has carefully prepared
general bankruptcy bill, but its presentation

NEW YORK, january 9.-The Washington
correspondent of the Tribune says. "a CON
ference was held yesterday of the delegates OF
the South Americans, Anti Lecomptonites and
Democrats, at which it was agreed to vote
down Hickmans plurality proposition, on the
belief that this would exclude Sherman. No
agreement was reached on the election of
Speaker or other officers, but the opinions ex-
pressed made it apparent that perfect fusion
OF the three elements on Hamilton was not
practicable The conference was composed of
Messrs. Winslow and McRoe, Hill and NAL
lory, South Americans, and Clark and Riggs,
Anti Lecompt0nites. O 1etngoH fIA

A PoNDERous MAeHENE.-A steam hammer in
tended to be employed in the forging of the Arm
strong guns has lately been constructed in England
and is of immense power The hammer bar and
face weigh four tuns, and the cylinder in which
this bar works, with its glands, within a few ewt
of six tuns. The cylinder is supported on two
frames, each of nine tuns, and each of these again
rests on bed-plate Of the same weight. Through
these bedplates projects the anvil, which is mass
of wrought iron, faced with steel and inbedded in
an immense block of cast iron, weighing upwards
of twenty-one tuns. The casting of this block
which was, of course, one of the heaviest opera.
tons in connection with tile apparatus, was pro-
nouneea by those who were present to be the most
successful ever witnessed. The immense block
thus formed measures at the base six feet seven
inches by nine feet two inehes and is four feet ten
inches hight. The anvil proper is let into the top
and when placed to the base will rest on two layers
of heavy legs, about fourteen feet square. In the
management Of the hammer, again, great per-
fection has been attained. The most remarkable
thing about it is the perfect command In which it
is held, so that it can be made to pound with pro-
digious force mass of glowing iron, or to crack
nut in the gentlest manner. The stroke can be
given with force exactly corresponding with the
weight of the hammer; while on the one hand this
force can be diminished at pleasure, or on the
other greatly increased by the application of the
propelling steam above or below the piston In
regard to speed of working also it possesses capa
bilities which seem to adapt it to almost every
variety of work, for it can either be made to
descend like the heavy sledge, with measured
beat and Slow or to deliver from two hundred to
three hundred strokes minute

The weather yesterday was bright, bracing and

see the trot at the old and pretty and liye-oak
shaded race-course now known as tie Creole
Course. We have hither omitted mention Of the
enlarged and improved stands and other accom-
modations which the proprietor, Mr.. Pybus, has
had provided for the sport Of the present and forth
coming seasons. There are now good accomno-
dations for just as big a crowd as can come, and
we opne that these accommodations will be largely
enjoyed hereafter, to the large comfort and enjoy
ment Of the proprietor.
Yesterdays trot, to harness, mile heats, best
three in five, for propriator's purse, brought up
four competitors: D. Mercier's Martha, Bonham's
Hl-dnd Ont Peabody's Bird Catcher, and Cannell' g
Gray Eddy. The race was not one requiring much
elaboration. In-and-0ut was the fayorite before
starting, at two to against the field. He won
the easily in the three last of four heats, not
taking the first because there was no particular
occasion for his doing SO. After the first heat,
which he lost, rather refused to win, offers of
ten dollars to q chew Of tobacco upon him went
begging. Track splendid, and time dreadful.
