ANOTHER GREAT ACHIEVEMENT OF THE Oil
GARcHY The Treasury Department have advices
that the light supply vessel has been seized
In Galveston harbor by the Texas disunionists.
This vessel is employed in supplying the different
light. houses with oil, wicks and other stores.
Who ever planned her seizure must have been
hred with zeal to emulate the great achievement
OF Twiggs. Unmitigated rascality Is evidently
infectious in Texas, just now

and under the orders of 60 the Committee of Safety
at Galveston" These men got the vessel under

where she was at last accounts detained to await

The Guthrie, 1t will be seen, was on mission
of peace, mercy, humanity and charity. Filled
with supplies Of oil, &c, purchased and paid for
by the United States to be to the ig hts
on the southern coast to prevent their extinction
during the ensuing year, and without which SUD-
plies they must at early period be guished
and thereby cause great loss Of life and property
in the navigation Of that coast.

SENArE-Mr. Cowan presented to the Senate
the credentials Of Hon. David w ilmot, U. ). Sen
ator from Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Bright laid before the Senate a copy of a
joint resolution adopted BY the Legislature Of In
diana, petitoning Congress to call Convention
Of all the States take into consideration the pro-
priety Of amending the Constitution.
Mr.. Wilmot having been sworn In and taken
his seat,
The Senate then took up the resolution offered
by Mr. Douglas; and
Mr. Breckenridge proceeded to address the Sen
ate. He had been a silent spectator Of great
drama in the worlds history. lie had been one
Of number Of Senators who earnestly strove to
bring about the adoption by Congress Of some
measures which would allay the storm now
raging.
He regarded the inaugural as being generally
expressive Of peace but II Ii carried out to its
strict letter, bloodshed would inevitably ensue.
The leading idea Of the inaugural was that the
President did not recognize the existence Of
new government in the South, and that he in
tended to execute the laws in all the States, in
Guiding those which had gone out Of the Union.
That he would hold all the forts and public
property by force Of arms IL required. and would
collect the revenues as In the past. In whole,
he construed the inaugural to mean that the Pres
ident was determined to hold ell the property Of
the United States in those States at all hazards;
and IL Fort Sumter to be vacated IL was not to
be done as a measure of peace, but as a policy
which military general would pursue to gain a
more important advantage elsewhere.
He saw no broad and practical policy among
Republicans which could promote peace. The
simple question was, should the power of the Uni
ted States be maintained over a separate Govern
ment Of five millions Of people with all the ma
chinery Of Government. III it was, why hest
tate and talk Of peace' II not. why were Fede-
raj troops still retaining possession Of those forts
The senate should nave advised, by resolution,
the President Of the United States to withdraw
the forces from the South and to have soug ht by
negotiation alone the preservation Of the Govern
ment.
He should vote for the resolution introduced by
the Senator from Illinois, but he hoped that res
olution would be brought before the Senate to get
sense of that body, authorizing the President to
withdraw the troops from the Confederate States
With regard to the revenue he had but little to
say. That question had already been settled and
the remarks of the Senator from Illinois (Mr
Douglas) was good exponent of his sentiments
upon that subject.
Mr.. Breckenridge was speaking when our re-
port necessarily closed.

SAFETY OF THE STEAMER AUsrRALAsIaS The
missing steamer Australasian, about which 90
much fear has been entertained. has nt len 9th
been heard from, and is now safe In the bsrbor Of
Queenstown. Shortly after leaving Liyerpooi
she encountered strong head winds and a heavy
sea, which continued to increase In power until
when In violent gale, she broke two Of the fans
OF her screw. She was then com PEELED to depend
upon her canvass alone, and after passing throug
q succession Of heavy squalls for several DAYS
finally reached Queenstown In an extremely dis
abled condition. Her passengers and mails were
taken by the Arabia and brought out on her reg.

have happened from striking some piece of
wreck, as several logs were floating about
