MusIc.-If there is anything in the world
calculated to take the indigo out of ones
brain or heart, it is music. If wehave not
remembered alniss, one of the old heroes of
scripture, DAVID, probably-it might have
been SAUL-had music played to take the
devil out of him. If this prescription was
good then, it is good yet, and therefore those

COnSfcSSlOnals
The Homestead Bill has passed the House
SO also has the Mileage reduction Bill
Not much else Of importance has yet been
done. Our readers can form some idea of
Congressional courtesy from the following
little debates Of late day. Mr.. Van
Wyck, of New Jersey, made hot North
ern speech:
In the course of his remarks he said that
southerners talked about burning witches
in New England forgetting that slaves are
burnt at the stake at the South.
Mr. Davis, of Miss, rose excitedly and
was understood to say that accusation was
| false.
Mr. Gartrell made point of order that no
member of the House had right to libel
the people of any section and then deny
the opportunity to representatives to reply.
| He pronounced the assertion Of Mr.. Van
Wyck false and unfounded.
Mr.. Davis, of Miss, wanted to know
whether Mr. Van Wyck was disposed to
test southern courage by going out of the
District of Columbia.
| Mr.. Van Wyck was not to be interfered
recollect that for eight weeks, libel after H.
bel was cast on Republicans here.
Mr.. Davis-We charged you truthfully.
Mr.. Bingham earnestly demanded order.
The Chairman pro TEN. Mr.. Washburn,
of Illinois, requested gents not to violate
the rules Of the House.
The following pleasant chat occurred the
same day. Mr.. Grow, it will be remember
ed refused to accept challenge:
Mr.. Ashmore commenced speaking but
was called to order by Mr.. Grow
Mr.. Ashmorc said he thought Mr.. Grow
had better hold his tongue.
He would not vote for any investigation
or insinuations lying and untruthful, when
the gentleman will not personally take the
responsibility of what he asserts.
The paragraphs below are clipped from
the Geographic reports, but are slightly in
comprehensive west of the Mississippi
We hardly think Mr.. Washburn has be-
come an advocate for the adoption of q
Slave Code for the Territories, but thus he
is reported by Telegraph! s
On motion of Mr.. Sherman to reduce
mileage from 40 to 20 cents per mile, to be
computed by straight geographical line, was
then taken up.
Mr.. Washburn, of Illinois, Intellectually
requested Mr. Sherman to give an amend
ment, repeating all laws allowing any bill.
In spite of this they were asked to rely
upon the common law and the naked decis-
ions Of the supreme court, which was up
set by such action as had been taken in
Kansas.
He referred to the resolution reported as
adopted by the Democratic senatorial eau
Gus, and pronounced the 4th and 9th unsa-
tisfactory.
He thought it the duty of Congress to
act for the protection of slavery in the Ter
ritory.
He had ample experience to show the ne
cessity for the enactment of laws to protect
slavery in the territories.

was proved, the jury acquitted him and the
little darling became his wife. Men run
great risks for the hope of angelic society.
the Chinese, of California, have learned
to split American gold coin, abstract the
gold from the centre and fill with gong me-
tai and re-connect the pieces. This coin
will deceive anything but scales.
Mr.. Stockton, of Philadelphia, is elected
Chaplain to the House.
The Virginia Senate is opposed to a
Southern Conference.
The Louisiana Democratic Convention
favored Davis slave code resolutions, but
did not instruct their delegation on cam
didate.

We learn from Morris Kellogg, ESQ.,,
Of Correc,ionvife, that about two weeks
az , u band Of SIX Sanntce Sioux Indians
from Minnesota, made their appearance
in the Little Sioux valley at Correction
Vile, and introduced themselves to the
citizens by stealing six horses and
calf from Mr.. L. Bacon, and then pro-
ceeded down the river. The neighboTs
rallied, pursued the Indians, overlook
them about eight miles below the town,
and recovered the property-except the
calf which they had kIled-witaout
much difficulty. The Indians then left
n southery direction, and we're gone
about week, when they again made
their appearance, having in their posses
sion % ponies which they had stolen
from the Omabas. They again visited
the farm Of Mr.. Bacon, and killed two Of
his hogs, and wounded another, and then
| proceeded northward The citizens,
seven in number, again turned out and
pursued the thieves. They overlook
| them several miles from the residence Of
Mr. Bacon, when a fight ensued, the In
dams opening the fire. Fortunately for
the pursuers none OF them were hurt,
and equally Fortunate for them they did
not succeed in killing any OF the thiev-
ing Indians. The pursuing party beng
poorly provided with arms, and night
coming on, withdrew, and sent to
SmithIand for assistance. About fifteen
citizens of the latter place responded to
the call, joined the Correctionville poo
pie, and started in pursuit Of the In
dams early the next morning, and after
travelling all day and nearly all night,
reached Meads' Settlement in CLAY
county, where they we're joined by the
citizens of that place, and in the morning
continued the pursuit. Early in the
day they surprised the Indians near Mr..
Waterman's, where they were encamp-
ed, and engaged in dressing and cooking
one of MIR. Waterman's cattle. The
pursuers fired upon them, but without
effect, when the Indians fled with great
precipitation, leaving behind them a
portion of their arms and ammunition,
but succeeded in making good their es-
cape with all, but one, OF the ponies
The citizens of the Little Sioux valley
are frequently harrasscd by incur.ions
from these thicving, worthless Indians.
and our advice to them is to prepare fol
their visits hereafter, and if they come
again, give them such reception al
will put an end to their depredations
forever. Let their motto be-"LO,c
