CONGRESS-.

The doings of Congress for the past week.
may be summed up as follows: The spe-
cial committees OF both House and Senate,
have been trying to tinker up some kind of
plan to prove that black is white, and that
right is wrong, and as such efforts usually
do, have failed. The latest accounts say
there will be no report, at least none from
the House committee. The Congressman
from the border States, representing Mary
land. Virginia, Missouri, North Carolina,
Texas, Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois,
Delaware, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and
New Jersey. have had caucus, and adopt
ed mainly the resolutions of Mr.. Crittenden.
The Senate has amended Mr.. Curtis Pacific
Railroad bill, so as to make the southern
branch of the northern route, start from the
mouth Of the Kansas river. TIE bill will
not be likely to pass at this session. The
Republicans are trying to do the legitimate
business of the country but are consider
bly, hIndered by the agitators. There seems
to be strife among the Democrats, who
shall save the most plumber from the wreck
of their party. Time will tell who are the
true Union savers.

masters. At political meetings. and around
their tables, that if Lincoln was elected
they were all to be set free. They have been
told that tie great Republican party Is =
party Of abolisionistss Who are seeking to
fberate the slave by force. And now they
see every day, the arming of troops to meet
this imaginary foe, and what more is need
ed but some bold spirit among themselves,
to FIRE the train which is already laid? We
have always hoped that the solution of this
great question would Re gradual and peaca-
bic, but if it is ordained otberwise-if the
slave must right his own wrongs. We believe
the time has come when he will do 1t.

souri,. q large weekly, and an establishment
worth some ten thousand dollars. The
Journal has done much for the prosperity
of Kansas City.
After spending several hours of pleasant
chit-chat with our friends, we took passage
for this city. 1t takes the stages from
Leavenworth TO Kansas City. and from
Kansas City to this place. nearly as long to
make their respective trips as IL does Hard
& Reynolds express, TO make the trip be-
tween this city and Emporia. although the
latter route is some thiriy-fve miles the
longest. Our river friends should come
out in the interior aud get some idea of the
fast spirit of the age.
The first twelve miles of my journey.
there were no fellow passengers to disturb
my reflections. At Shawnee, Hon. w. Y.
Roberts. member of the legislature from
Wyandott county. Joined US. But as he
is not a very communicative gentleman. his
company was not as instructing as it might
have been. We passed through several
old dilapidated villages on our route. that
bid fair to always remain in that condition.
They are Monticello. Lexington, Franklin,
etc. Near Monticello, very pretty little
woman. with very pretty little baby, and
very pretty little hands and feet. got in the
stage. As women with pretty. sweet little
feet, never show them Intentionally, it will
be proper to add that saw hers as she got
into the stage. She was quite intelligent
and laxative. but the brat in her lap squalled.
and rendered her company less agreeable
than it would have been if the baby had
been left at home. AT Lexington our lady
friend and the baby left us, and We stopped
for dinner. The only noticeable features
about Lexington. was an innocent looking
female about the size of four year old ele-
plant. and fifty cents per meal for corn
bread and tough beef-Lhe latter of which
strikes country editor very forceabIy these
times. The female alluded to waited on the
table. l should think she was something
over six feet in her stockings. and weighed at
least two hundred and seventyfve punds.
/ advise those friends travelling that way to
make it point to see her. The road be-
tween Monticello and Lexington passes over
some of the finest country we ever laid our
eyes upon. Itpasses up the Kaw river and
is very picturesque. The high, rough up
lands to the northward on the opposite side,
aud the valley Of the Kaw lying beneath.
presents one of the finest views we ever be-
held. When this prairie is dotted over with
beautiful farm houses and hedge rows of
living green" what a happy sight it will
present. If all the country in johnson
county is as fine as that part we have just
been talking about. it is a very desirable
one to live in.
We arrived at Lawrence about o'clock
We had the pleasure of shaking hands with
many old friends and acquaintances, who
are here to attend the session the LegisIa-
ture, some as members and others as lboby<.
But my letter is already too long. 81 will

The general tone of the dispatches from
Washington, indicate favorable change
in the Presidents disease-the shakes, with
which he has been troubled for a few weeks
past. It is to be hoped. that he will so far
convalesce at last, as to be able to travel on
the fourth of March. But seriously, since
he has got rid Of three avowed disunionists
from his cabinet, he seems to awake some
what. TO the awful responsibility. which
rests upon him as the Chief Magistrate of a
great nation. in times like these. If lie will
now. at the eleventh hour do his duty like
a man and patriot. the country will be
willing to overlook a multitude of fins.
